{"text": "This red long pepper is a sharp, ripe pepper with a complex taste. It is grown in the Cambodian region of Kampot, famous for its black pepper. This long pepper is excellent for Southeast Asian cuisine and delicious in sweet dishes and with goat cheese.\nThis red long pepper is harvested from the Javanese long pepper (Piper retrofractum) that is grown in Cambodia in the same region where the famous Kampot pepper grows. It comes from the ripe fruit, which can be a fire red, and is reminiscent of a chili pepper, but it is not.\nThis long pepper is grown in the forests where the farmers plant them. They use the shade of existing trees and the fertile, moist environment, so no fertilization and irrigation is needed. The plants soon bear fruit and give more yield every year. After the third year, the plants are harvested and replaced.\nThis long Kampot pepper is one of the three types of long peppers that we have in store. From Japan we also have Javanese long pepper from Ishigaki Jima and from Vietnam the Indian long pepper (Piper longum) from:\n- germacreen D , spicy woody\n- β-caryophyllene , sweet spicy and woody\n- 3-careen, citrus-like\n- D-limonene (dipentene), sweetish orange flavor, modestly present in nutmeg, mace and cardamom,\n- α- and β-pinene , woody woody pine scent, as in cumin, pine (pine cone), juniper and hemp\n- β-myrcene , spicy aroma, with notes of fruits (mango, grape, peach) and mint\n- sabines , responsible for the woody, camphor-like taste of black pepper, among other things\n- α-phellandrene , pleasant citrus and woody pepper flavor\nUsage\nThe easiest way to use long pepper is to cut or break the pepper into pieces and then jack or grind these pieces, for example, in a coffee grinder that you have specifically intended for grinding spices.\nRed long peppers combine perfectly with lamb meat, goat meat, goat cheese, duck, fruit and in general dishes in which cinnamon, cloves and saffron can also be used.\nFeatures:\n- 100% berries of the Piper retrofractum\n- origin: Kampot region, Cambodia\n- 2018 harvest\nAvailability\n- available in pouch, glass and testtubes\n-\n- february 2022\nRed long Kampot pepper\n- Brand: Global food and spices\n- Product Code: F018KH\n- Availability: In Stock\n€5.25\n- Ex Tax: €4.82"}
{"text": "Published by: Free Press\nRelease Date: February 8, 2011\nContributors: Brando Skyhorse\nPages: 240\nISBN13: 978-1439170847\nAdd on Goodreads\nBuy the Book: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indie Bound\n“Skyhorse is a generous writer, a caring writer, an observant writer, and these are among the first things we ask of chroniclers with heart and soul.”—From the PEN/Hemingway award citation\n- Winner of the Pen/Hemingway\n- Winner of the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction.\nPraise for The Madonnas of Echo Park\nNamed one of the best books of 2010 by The Seattle Times\nPick of the Week, The Boston Globe\n“Brando Skyhorse brings a chronically invisible community to sizzling, beguiling life. . . . With this debut novel, Skyhorse has earned comparison to Sherman Alexie, Junot Diaz and Sandra Cisneros. . . . And like those writers, there’s little danger Skyhorse will be pigeonholed as an ethnic writer: his work is simply too good. . . . In The Madonnas of Echo Park, Skyhorse claims the disparate elements of his life and spins them into gold.”\n—The Oregonian\n“Culture, identity, and politics are just a few of the threads masterfully woven through The Madonnas of Echo Park…What happens to a neighborhood that’s overrun by gentrification and warring intercultural factions? Violence, for one thing—but also, finally, in Skyhorse’s indelible storytelling, something that begins to look like hope.”\n—O, The Oprah Magazine\n“Memorable…Brando Skyhorse connects us with voices that typically dwell in the background of everyday Los Angeles life but here are granted license to tell their own harrowing, hair-raising, heartwarming, hilarious, and fascinating stories…Startlingly poignant.”\n—The Seattle Times\n“Skyhorse’s novel has hit home…Skyhorse draws from his childhood memories to tell the story of Echo Park as he knew it…[His] outsider status helped him develop an observer’s eye for the people he, his grandmother, and his mother encountered.”\n—Mandalit del Barco, National Public Radio\n“This first novel tells the intertwining stories of three Mexican-American families in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, from the 1980s to today. . . . As the narrators pass the story backward and forward in time, the characters unknowingly bounce off one another like particles in the Large Hadron Collider.”\n—The New York Times\n“A revelation . . . the summer’s most original read . . . extraordinary. . . . The novel is richly detailed, offering varying perspectives that collide into a singu- lar.”\n—Examiner.com\n“Gritty . . . a bittersweet love letter to the neighborhood [of Echo Park].”\n—Los Angeles magazine\n“A literary glimpse into the often unseen world of Mexican Americans trying to make it as Americans.”\n—USA Today\n“The work of a significant new voice, full and rich and richly subtle. . . . ‘Rules of the Road’ is filled with so much texture and detail and humanity and the kind of weirdness that seems utterly true and believable [and] the rest of the [book is] filled with the same qualities. . . . Also, for a man, Skyhorse has an amazing eye and ear for the way women talk, look, behave—and think and feel. . . . Brando Skyhorse’s first book is the real deal.”\n—Chauncey Mabe, Open Page, Florida Center for the Literary Arts\n“Skyhorse’s control and capability as a storyteller make the story clear, compel- ling, and meaningful. . . . Above all, The Madonnas of Echo Park is about people trying to understand why their world is changing. . . . There is much to marvel at, beginning with Skyhorse’s excellent writing. . . . Its structure, repeated descriptions, interlocked plot elements, even that metafictional “Author’s Note,” all work to do the most important thing fiction can do: create a complex world in which readers can practice empathy.”\n—The Rumpus\n“Wonderful . . . moving, lyrical . . . a complex, multifaceted portrait of the com- munity [of Echo Park].”\n—Washington City Paper\n“I really loved this book. Skyhorse successfully finds the voice of such vastly different people and it is all brought together with lyrical beauty, even when he writes about the gritty side of life.”\n—Latina-ish\n“Social fiction meant to shine a light on the lives of Mexican immigrants and illegals. . . . The story is bright with description, and dialogue so well-written you can hear it.”\n—Winnipeg Free Press\n“Told in a series of vignettes so strong and well-written they could be stand- alone stories, The Madonnas of Echo Park centers around the life of one young woman, Aurora Esperanza, as told by the men and women of her east L.A. community. It addresses the issues of immigration and assimilation, of being Mexican and American, and of staying true to who you are and where you come from. Skyhorse has written such a beautiful, poignant and well-crafted novel that I feel compelled to encourage everyone to pick it up and immerse themselves in Echo Park.”\n—Inkwood Books Newsletter\n“Skyhorse gives life to people on the peripheries of Los Angeles who are often invisible.”\n—New York Journal of Books\n“Skyhorse devotes a chapter each to a panoply of quirky characters who people the streets, all connecting to a girl caught in the gang wars that ravage the area.”\n—Asbury Park Press\n“Brilliant. Go buy this book right now.”\n—Sewtransformed.blogspot.com\n. . . . [W]e are carried away by this intricately crafted tale. Taken together, the tales spin around the axis of a few streets yet splinter off into infinite dimensions.”\n—Chattanooga Times Free Press\n“Vivid. . . . These are the people we pass every day and never give much thought. Now Skyhorse demands our attention as he deftly humanizes their stories. . . . Eye-opening and haunting, Skyhorse’s novel will jolt readers out of their complacence.”\n—Booklist\n“Vivid. . . . Skyhorse excels at building a vibrant community and presenting several perspectives on what it means to be Mexican in America, from those who wonder ‘how can you lose something that never belonged to you?’ to those who miraculously find it.”\n—Publishers Weekly\n“First-time novelist Skyhorse offers a poignant yet unsentimental homage to Echo Park, a working-class neighborhood in east Los Angeles where everyone struggled to blend in with American society but remains tied to the traditions of Mexico. . . . Essential for fans of Sherman Alexie or Sandra Cisneros but with universal appeal for readers who favor in-depth character-centered stories, this is enthusiastically recommended.”\n—Library Journal (starred review)\n“There are a few reasons you should read Brando Skyhorse’s The Madonnas of Echo Park this year . . . a fresh . . . and authentic . . . writer to shake . . . controversy through the discerning scrim of first-person fiction. . . . If timeliness and social relevance don’t sell you on the book, then read it for its beautifully imperfect characters, the wise certainty of its prose, its satisfying emotional heft— the basic things we hope for when we pick up a novel . . . elegantly written. . . . The book cleverly expresses the tangled nature of multicultural identity and the physical geography of off-the-grid Echo Park. . . . The thing about tortuous roads and confusing intersections is that we often find ourselves returning to the place where we started, even when we think we’ve left it forever. And while many of us might see this as a lack of progress or hapless water-treading, Skyhorse celebrates it as a kind of hopeful recovery.”\n—The Brooklyn Rail\n“[A] potential best-seller. . . . [Skyhorse] has a way with fiction, as he demonstrates in this lovely debut novel about Mexican-Americans in LA. The engaging storytelling, informed by a keen understanding of contemporary immigrant life, is reminiscent of Junot Díaz and Chang Rae-Lee.”\n—Vanity Fair\n“In its depiction of what amounts to a parallel social universe The Madonnas of Echo Park provides a master class in nonlinear narrative, written with imaginative generosity and emotional precision, poignant, brutal, and refreshingly unsentimental. Brando Skyhorse has what can’t be faked: talent. His book is an understated triumph.”\n—Glen Duncan, author of Death of an Ordinary Man and I, Lucifer\n“The hard, bitter grit of life in Echo Park, especially for women, is made quite wonderful by warmth and bright color, humor and compassion; in its keenly felt insight into the human condition, Echo Park is the world: this is who we are, like it or not. Altogether a terrific book by a highly accomplished new author — where has he been?”\n—Peter Matthiessen, National Book Award-winning author of Shadow Country and The Snow Leopard\n“Brando. The Madonnas of Echo Park is a memorable literary debut.”\n—Dan Chaon, author of Await Your Reply\n“In this gorgeous and suspenseful book the admirably talented Brando Skyhorse takes his readers to a kingdom that he has made very much his own, Echo Park, California. I loved reading about his richly imagined characters, both Mexican and American, and how their lives intersect with our much more familiar versions of Los Angeles.”\n—Margot Livesey, author of The House on Fortune Street & Eva Moves the Furniture\n\n“In this insightful book, Brando Skyhorse reveals himself to be a trenchantand passionate observer of the forgotten underclasses of Los Angeles. He’s fashioned a desperate La Ronde for Echo Park and a requiem for the ’80s.”\n—Glen David Gold, author of Sunnyside and Carter Beats the Devil\n“[A] most entertaining first novel. Skyhorse certainly nails the people and the spirit of the very vibrant historical neighborhood of Echo Park. It is more than just a part of old Los Angeles, it is a character in its own right that you want to truly befriend by the end of the book. The Hispanic men and women who live, love and die in those streets are made palpable and rendered genuine thanks to the deep consideration that the author has for them. Nothing sounds false or forced in these stories that are funny and heartbreaking, surprising and affecting. It is a familiar truth all the while becoming an original evolution of people and place, each of them always moving to the music that makes their dreams.”\n—Marie du Vaure, Vroman’s, Pasadena, CA\n“Reminds me of Olive Kitteridge/Chris Cleave . . . In teading The Madonnas of Echo Park it’s like each chapter could stand alone as a short story; however, each chapter fleshes out more of the storyline which reminded me of Little Bee. The book was truly amazing.”\n—Susan Barthold, Barnes and Noble, Jenkintown, PA\n“What can I say? S&S has discovered another truly gifted writer. I really, really, loved this book. The lives of the unseen people, bus drivers, cleaning ladies, waiters etc., are shown to be as colorful, meaningful, and intense as the most famous among us. I loved the way this author could take a simple enough subject, such as looking for a lost dog, and make it interesting and real! The image of the little Madonnas, singing on that street corner will remain with me for some time. These people became real for me and I cared deeply about what happened to each of them. I became lost in Echo Park, longing for a place I’d never been, the sights, sounds, smells . . . This book will definitely become a book club pick for us, as there is no lack of discussion material. Thank you, Wendy. A five star rating for you and the book!!!!!!!”\n—Margaret Holdman, Borders, St. Louis\n“With spare tight prose and spare tight pieces, Brando Skyhorse takes LA’s Echo Park and raises it to the level of, say, Lethem’s Brooklyn or Proulx’s West. With a bit of Marquez’s magical realism and a lot of heart, Skyhorse presents us with a side of Mexican American life often ignored. Diverse voices wind together and apart to good effect, with a bittersweet close.”\n—Jenn Northington, Breathe Books, Baltimore, MD\n“I just finished The Madonnas of Echo Park and wanted to write to you as soon as I collected my thoughts— Not so easy since it resonated on so many levels. It is truly a beautiful book and Skyhorse captured so much that is unique about LA better than I have ever seen done before. He got the smog-filtered light, the smells that mix desert and ocean, and the particular gravity of a place where everybody comes from somewhere else, no matter how long they’ve been here. I loved how each story added tiny layers to the previous stories as you saw them flitting across in the background. So many books have painted a great picture of 30’s LA that people still carry around in their heads. And I’ve read some good ones of contemporary LA, but mostly Westside-type affluence. The Madonnas of Echo Park really shows the huge percentage of LA life that people have no idea about but which really is a major contributor to this city’s “feel.” It’s that mix of dreams and disasters that create the LA that people feel but don’t understand why they feel it, if that makes sense . . . How can such a sunny place be so dark?? And btw, who knew that Morrissey was such an icon in LA’s Mexican subculture?”\n—Kristine Williams, Barnes and Noble, Encino\n“The Madonnas of Echo Park is an extraordinary book. I was captured by the writing — ease with storytelling, lively lyricism, and unforgettable characters. I can’t recall a novel that captures the spirit of a place so well. Through his attention to generational stories, Skyhorse strikes a perfect balance between nostalgia and looking forward. I finished reading it a couple of days ago, but I have just gone back and reread the first couple of chapters. It is so interesting to read, now that I know how their lives intersect, seeing all of the background characters, knowing now that they have captivating stories of their own. The book, it seems to me, is unique in its structure, the community it describes, but mostly it is unique in its quality. And what characters! Aurora Esperanza, Rosa, and Duchess are unforgettable. The bus driver, the hustler, the lady who speaks to the Virgin Mary, poor Mrs. Calhoun, Hector, Juan, and the many many others who live in the neighborhood (live in the book) are each drawn with such care and attention.”\n—Mark LaFramboise, Politics & Prose, Washington, DC\n“What a wonderful book. It brings to the forefront a people who are virtually unnoticed by society, something I never realized. More than that, this book truly shows how intertwined our lives really are by leading us through a journey of everyday lives and revealing how entangled we truly are with each other, even complete strangers. I literally could not put it down.”\n—Lisa Hartman, Barnes and Noble, Willow Grove, PA\n“I absolutely loved The Madonnas of Echo Park! I was teary-eyed . . . The stories ravel together like a string of kites, each one intertwining and tangling with the next, until they have become one, aggregated mass of colors . . . lives, histories, relationships that somehow all make sense. I love how everything comes together . . . .vignettes that make sense once the characters’ paths cross — completing the mystery and filling in the holes that leave the reader feeling both reconciled and even a bit addled at the connections and relationships. Beautifully written . . . .and even more beautifully woven. I’m looking forward to his next book.”\n—Guinevere Platt, Vroman’s, & Communications Manager, SCIBA\n“Thank you so much for sending me The Madonnas of Echo Park. What a powerfully well written book. Each chapter connects to another making the characters so vibrant and real. Skyhorse shows Mexican-American life so colorful and intense that you feel that you are right there in Echo Park. What an important book this is! Thanks again.”\n—Jennyfer Davis, Barnes and Noble, Long Beach, CA"}

{"text": "2021 Volume 12 Issue 3 Pages 323-335\nRecent advances in deep reinforcement learning has led to its application in a number of real-world problems. One of the most popularly used deep reinforcement learning algorithms is the deep Q-learning method which uses neural networks to approximate the estimation of the action-value function. Training of deep Q-networks (DQN) is usually restricted to first order gradient based methods. Though second order methods have shown to have faster convergence in several supervised learning problems, their application in deep reinforcement learning is limited. This paper attempts to accelerate the training of deep Q-networks by introducing a second order Nesterov's accelerated quasi-Newton method and verify the feasibility of second order methods in deep reinforcement learning. We evaluate the performance on deep reinforcement learning using double DQNs for VLSI global routing. The results show that the proposed method can obtain better routing solutions compared to the DQNs trained with conventional first order algorithms."}

{"text": "The honor of the first of the Limited Edition wireless controllers will tie in with the upcoming release of Titanfall which is really no surprise. The Respawn designed game is proving to be the most wanted of the upcoming releases, so it is a natural for a Limited Edition controller.\nWorking with Microsoft, the artists at Respawn have designed a controller that is inspired by the C-101 carbine which is used b the elite titan pilots of the Frontier. The design was a collaborative effort by both companies to create something that fells like military spec hardware that fell right out of the Titanfall game.\nThe controller will arrive in March just ahead of the release of Titanfall and will be around for a limited time. No word on how many of these controllers Microsoft might be making, so it is hard to say just how limited it might be.\nWhile there is no word yet on what Microsoft might have planned for other Limited Edition offerings in the future, but we have to say that a limited edition Xbox One that matches the controller might be our vote for an offering that Microsoft might want to consider."}

{"text": "by Aranyakananda\nI got to have a darshan with Swami Vidyadhishananda with several members of my Temple by video live feed on Tuesday. We had some technical difficulties but his truth came through, regardless. We got what we needed out of it. So I’ll make this brief. I have heard talk that Swami Vidyadhishananda will construct and deliver his message in such a way that it will be received by all listening according to their needs. I find this to be true. I have written in a recent post about a recent meditation on my convictions toward self-betterment in my 33rd year. That same day I got the invitation to hear the talk given by Swami-ji.\nDuring the talk, in passing, Swami-ji made a comment about self-improvement, conviction and strength to carry out these improvements, etc. Honestly I can’t even tell you exactly what he said but it doesn’t matter to me. Hearing him say that showed me that it was by his own personal invitation that I had come there. The rest of the talk was about guru-disciple relationship, and teachings of Patanjali which let themselves into my consciousness and I know they have made a home there. It was not intellectualized. It was not “remembered”, but it will always be there.\nSwami’s talk about Patanjali involved five concepts, who of which were Shruti and Vidya. Memory and Wisdom. Swami talked about the memory referred to by the word “shruti” is not of memorizing facts, but always being able to call to mind That which we are in our very essence. By Vidya, he again described the higher type of wisdom and knowledge. This are but two steps toward greater realization.\nSwami V described how it is not necessary to have reverence as long as there is love. To illustrate this point, Swami described how a child doesn’t care if his father is the President or something else, he will love his father just the same no matter what. Love. Not reverence. The child will love his father just because he is his father. We love our guru just for the sake of love. Not because the guru is higher or greater or better.\nThat is one of the things that is all-attractive about Swami Vidyadhishananda, and many other spiritual teachers of Dharma. He is not asking for reverence. He doesn’t even ask for love. By his presence he evokes a love that we did not know was there.\nPatanjali and his Yoga Sutras have been instrumental in my own life. I’m glad your Swami spoke on them!\nSri gurubhyo namah!\nI’ll look into the Sutras more. And I realized today when I was re-reading a piece of literature I picked up from a friend on Gurupurnima that the comment about following through on resolutions was not from his talk, but from the pamphlet. His words come through so vividly, spoken or in writing, that I sometimes cannot tell the difference. 🙂"}

{"text": "In the near term, Secretary of the Agency of Administration Jeb Spaulding has decided that in many instances bottled water is a necessity for state employees who may not have access to potable water in the workplace.\nSpaulding announced last month he would suspend implementation of a ban on bottled water by July 1 in the aftermath of a wellspring of opposition to the proposal from state workers.\nBack in March, the bottled water ban was seen as a win-win for everybody: Lawmakers and the administration saw the proposal, similar to bans in New York, Colorado and Illinois, as a way to save money at a time when they faced a $175 million budget gap; The Vermont State Employees Association, which represents about 5,500 state workers, saw it as a way to save jobs; and Deb Markowitz, secretary of the Agency of Natural Resources, touted the elimination of this “luxury” item as a way to save the environment.\nThe Vermont State Employees Association touted the proposal because it would spell the elimination of the state’s private contract with bottled water companies, including Crystal Rock Holdings, of Watertown, Conn. The amount of money the state spends annually on private contracts has long been a bone of contention for the union. Under the Douglas administration, many government services were privatized. The number of “personal service contracts” has grown from 727 at a cost of $110 million per year in 2003, to 1,570 contracts at a total cost of $237 million in 2011. In non-contractual negotiations with the Shumlin administration, the union and Spaulding agreed to a $2 million reduction in private contracts. So far, Spaulding says those savings have yet to materialize.\nConor Casey, legislative coordinator for the union, told the Associated Press in March: “It’s (bottled water) a luxury a lot of our members enjoy, but I think that as we’ve done in the past, we’re trying to put public services first here. It makes more sense to invest in public infrastructure for water.”\nSupport for the bottled water ban from VSEA members and other state workers, however, evaporated almost as soon as the proposal hit the ground.\nSpaulding heeded the rumblings and called for the suspension of the ban in a memo to state employees on June 21. Spaulding said in an interview that his agency heard from highway garages that only had one grease sink available, other state workplaces only had access to water from bathrooms or had concerns about the potability of municipal water.\n“We’re suspending implementation of the policy until we have a chance to look through it,” Spaulding said. “It was the right thing to step back and consider issues and concerns — a lot of them are warranted. We hope to resolve it in a month or two. We need 60 days to cancel contracts.”\nAt the moment those issues could be structural and expensive. Many of the water fountains in the state’s biggest workplaces – the Waterbury complex and 133 State St. – have been removed. The only water fountain at the Department of Motor Vehicles (120 State St.), a five-story office building that also houses the Department of Education, is on the first floor.\nSpaulding said it’s a lot to ask employees to trek that far for drinking water – particularly in the summer heat (there is no air conditioning in the building).\nHe wrote in his memo to state workers that while the administration is, “committed to environmental conservation, support for municipal water systems, and conservative use of taxpayer funds. It is also committed to the well being of state employees and recognizes that good morale is the foundation of strong productivity and customer service.”\nJes Kraus, executive director of VSEA, praised the administration’s response. He said the ban was not as simple to implement as originally envisioned.\n“They’ve been proactive in trying to assess this,” Kraus said. “They’ve come to realize it’s not as simple as this is a contract we’d like to do away with. They have an interest, as we do, in making sure employees have safe drinking water available.”\nThe pushback from employees is also a sign of better times. VSEA originally proposed the ban as a cost-saving measure in lieu of layoffs. “Now, thankfully, we’re not in same position,” Kraus said. “Workers want to make sure their water is OK.”"}

But here are two in the whiskey world that are worth your time.\nWhiskyCast (w/ Mark Gillespie): WhiskyCast has been around for about 5 years. I’ve only been listening to them for about a year now, and I’m so glad I found it. Mark Gillespie is the host and has some of the most informed guests on his show each week. In addition to interviews, Mark spends some time on weekly whiskey news and tastings. You can find WhiskyCast on iTunes and it’s free.\nK&L Spirits Journal Podcast: A few days ago I posted some great whiskey resources. One of those was the Spirits Journal blog of K & L Wines ran by David Driscoll and David Girard. David Driscoll produces a podcast and just kick started it up again recently. He’s on his third podcast and already his interviews have included one of the foremost historians of Bourbon (Chuck Cowdery) and arguably the most interesting man in whiskey (John Glaser of Compass Box Whisky Co. ). This podcast is also free and available on iTunes.\nGive these podcasts a listen and you’ll be rewarded with in depth whiskey industry information. They’re both great ways to stay informed and learn more about the brown stuff. Thanks for producing them guys and keep up the great work.\nDrink you Bourbon!\n-Jason\n6 Comments\nJason, found the K&L podcast yesterday because of your post. Now i’m hooked. Nice pick!!!!\nGlad you liked it!\nMan, I tried to stay with the Cowdery podcast, but I just can’t concentrate for that long, and I like Chuck! I’d have enjoyed it much more if it had been more succinct and less rambling, I just don’t have the time. Are they all like that?\nSam I would say that they provide a lot of opportunity to just simply converse and chat. From that some good conversations and nuggets can emerge. The best one is the latest one with John Glaser. I loved it. if you are a fan of theirs or want to learn more about how they are about the only one doing things the way they are, it’s a great listen. John is very transparent and David Driscoll leads the discussion well but let’s John do his thing.\nJason.\nThanks for the head-up on the K&L podcast. What a great insight into the world of whiskey. I’ve been trying to learn and experience as much as I can since last May. Always nice to find new resources to expand my knowledge.

{"text": "Disclaimer: I am not zombie!Jane, so I don't own P&P. :C\n- Pictures of You -\nElizabeth Bennet held her tongue between her teeth, eyebrows knitting together in concentration as she straddled a particularly thick tree branch that could take her weight. She was surrounded by picturesque countryside, but what had caught her interest was not the rolling hills of impeccably green grass or the frontline of trees erect like soldiers at the ends those fields. No, what had caught Elizabeth's eye was a minute detail, one that she was determined to get a picture of.\nResting above her head was the remnants of a bird's nest, a perfect example of a season past while surrounded by the bright green leaves dappled with the summer sun. The nest drooped in some places, trickling twigs that used to be so meticulously kept, giving Elizabeth a beautiful view of the inside of it. Little and big feathers alike were caught between tightly strung twigs, and there was even a few specs of light blue that Elizabeth assumed were little bits of egg shell from when the baby birds had hatched in early spring.\nElizabeth snapped a few shots with her brand new Nicon camera, it being the first of two categories. It was the first professional camera she'd owned (not used, actually owned), and it was also the first camera she'd been able to buy with her own money. She'd bought it as soon as her internship with the Lucas Shooting Company had ended in late spring, and ever since she'd first obtained it, the camera had become her baby. It was a rare day indeed when it wasn't either hanging from Elizabeth's neck or tucked safely into her well-worn backpack that she took everywhere.\n\"Lizzie, how long are you going to be up there?\" A male voice called, startling Elizabeth; she'd completely forgotten about her family being present.\n\"I'm coming, I'm coming.\" Elizabeth sighed, mentally bidding farewell to the bird nest. She made sure her camera strap was secure around her neck before jumping down, landing neatly on her feet next to her uncle and aunt.\n\"We don't mind you taking pictures, Sweetie, but we do have a schedule to keep. The tour starts in just a few minutes; we're going to be late!\" Elizabeth's aunt, Maida, clicked her tongue disapprovingly. She and her husband, Eadred, started back along the dirt path Elizabeth had abandoned in pursuit of a picture. It wasn't a very wide path; it actually probably hadn't changed since the days in which it was first made. The trio had seen a truck filled with produce slowly drive by through the middle of the path, and it took up a fair portion of the road. Eadred hazarded that it was just wide enough for the carriages to get through with two-way traffic. Hanging loftily over the path to create a canopy, providing shade and a beautiful dappling effect of the sunlight, were majestic trees that were decades old. To the left, after a couple of rows of trees, the land sloped downward to a great pond where Elizabeth guessed fish lived. She could barely make out the white of a gazebo on the other side of the expanse of water. To their right, again after just a few rows of trees, the land changed; this time a wooden fence kept grazing cows and horses in a pasture of rolling emerald grass.\n\"Where are we, again? I forget with all these old houses… mansions, really.\" Elizabeth laughed, rolling her eyes. She knew Maida had been joking when she'd said they would be late since they had come thirty minutes early fully knowing Elizabeth couldn't resist taking a picture when she saw something \"perfect.\"\n\"Which one is this one, Dear? Pemberley, isn't it?\" Maida looked to Eadred. While her uncle tapped his chin in contemplation, Elizabeth froze for a millisecond. Pemberley?!\n\"Yes, this one is Pemberley. It's the only one with a farm still running, and seeing the house just confirmed it. You can't mistake Pemberley for anything else.\" Eadred laughed, pointing to the house just coming into view as they took a turn, following the side of the pond. The house was really something else, sitting quite royally atop a small hill overlooking the water. It was made of stones that were probably first a pristine white but were now a worn myriad of gray speckled with the vibrant green of vine growth here and there. Pemberley stood four stories high, maybe five or six if there was an attic and basement, with windows all decorated with draping of different hues that most likely went with the color scheme of the room within. The front doors looked to be of heavy oak with fanciful carvings on it, and the steps leading up to it boasted elegant hand railings on each side of the same shade with similar markings. The driveway up to the door was a wide, large circle originally meant for carriages with numerous horses to show off levels of wealth; now, it held a few trucks and just a simple wagon loaded with tools with only one horse hooked up to it.\nEven in her now hesitant state, Elizabeth couldn't help but take a few shots of the house in fascinated awe. Her aunt and uncle had gotten a few yards ahead of her by the time she was satisfied, so Elizabeth had to run to catch up to them.\n\"I'm so glad y'all insisted on walking up.\" Elizabeth breathed, appreciative of the entire splendor she was able to digest by walking instead of just glimpsing had she been in a car. Eadred and Maida smiled first at each other, then at their niece, eyes twinkling. Knowing Elizabeth as they did, Maida and Eadred had insisted on parking their minivan in to little town just outside of the beginning of the road they were walking on so they could walk up to Pemberley.\n\"You're very welcome, Lizzie.\" Maida said, pinching Elizabeth's cheek even though the young woman was far past the age at which was normal for such a move. Elizabeth playfully swatted away her aunt's hand, adjusting her wire-framed spectacles sliding down her nose. In what seemed like no time at all, the trio was amidst the hustle and bustle of groundskeepers moving tools and such.\nAn old woman greeted them at the base of the steps to the front door, introducing herself as Mrs. Reynolds. Elizabeth stood meekly behind her uncle, wondering if Mrs. Reynolds would recognize her name when Eadred told Mrs. Reynolds the names their party. She peeked around her uncle's side, drinking in the sight of the woman who had reared the man of Elizabeth's best dreams and worst nightmares. Mrs. Reynolds looked every bit her age of mid-sixties, but she didn't act it. Despite her salt-and-pepper hair pulled up tightly and the stern wrinkles running across her face, Mrs. Reynolds exuded an air of youthful spirit.\nMrs. Reynolds started the tour when the other family arrived in their little car. Elizabeth stayed near the back of the group, trying not to catch Mrs. Reynolds' eye too much in fear of being called out. It was, after all, quite awkward if a woman her aunt and uncle presumed she'd never met before asked, \"Aren't you the girl who broke my boy's heart into a million pieces?\" … Or something like that. Elizabeth figured, based off of what she knew of Darcy, that Mrs. Reynolds might be as blunt as he was. Although that could be just his quirk since he abhorred lying of any kind…\nLost in thought, Elizabeth's mind only registered something good. She jerked her head to the side, narrowing her eyes; she'd seen something, she knew it. Taking a glance to the tour group slowly leaving her behind, Elizabeth slipped silently away, ignoring her guilty conscious. She silently slid up to the door that was open a crack, gazing inside. The room had a high ceiling with a chandelier befitting of the grandeur beneath it. The walls were stark white with gold trimmings, and the flooring was a rich, creamy tile. The room was decorated not with period pieces of furniture but instruments of every kind, ranging from a maple guitar to an ebony grand piano with a bright red bow on top of it. In front of the piano was what Elizabeth had seen; it really was a picture-perfect scene.\nUnconsciously, Elizabeth lifted her camera from hanging listlessly around her neck to her eye, zooming in on the faces. The girl who looked to be around seventeen or eighteen was really quite stunning; even though her face wasn't fully matured, it was already a beautiful heart-shape with delicate golden curls dancing as a frame for it. Her skin was impeccable, and it had just the hint of a glowing tan. Elizabeth could see a familiar outline on the girl's visage; she recognized the full lips, the arching brow, the long, regal nose… Elizabeth's face flushed as she moved her attention from the gorgeous girl to the man she was hugging. Even though it wasn't exactly the best word to describe him as a whole, Darcy had a beautiful face. He cut a striking figure, but it was his face that Elizabeth had always been enamored with.\nFrom a rocky puberty bloomed a gorgeous rose. Darcy's jaw was strongly cut, giving his face a magnificent look in both his profile and portrait angles; it seemed perpetually softened by stubble or the shadow of stubble, though, that stemmed from his long sideburns. His lips were full, the same delicate rose color of the young girl's, hiding perfectly straight, white teeth. Just above his warm lips was his recognizable nose; it was large but not overly so. It was slightly crooked from a brutal fistfight the world didn't know of nor would ever find out about. Set at the sides of the top his nose were Darcy's beautiful stormy gray eyes framed by long, thick eyelashes that many women would be envious of. Elizabeth could remember how his eyes had looked, almost like clouds before a storm, and how desperately she wanted a close-up frame of them. Above his eyes set his heavy, thick eyebrows that always gave away what he was really thinking. Drooping onto his forehead and ticking the tops of his ears was Darcy's signature thick carpet of ebony curls, though currently they gleamed with sweat. Elizabeth's fingers itched to run through his locks to see if they were really as soft as they looked, sweaty or not.\nElizabeth snapped one picture, but that was all it took. Even with the flash off and no click to give it away, Darcy had perceived the presence of a camera. Through her camera, zoomed in on his face, Elizabeth witnessed Darcy's eyebrows slanting in a vexed fashion over his eyes before they rose up in shock.\nLike any sane person, Elizabeth fled. Instead of rejoining the tour, she took off through the front doors, dashing down the steps dangerously two at a time; she nearly ran into a worker. Her heart was beating treacherously fast, resulting in Elizabeth panting even though she hadn't run very far. She'd bolted down the drive to the cover of the trees, pressing her back firmly into the rough bark of one as she slid down it to the crisp grass amongst its roots. Elizabeth could hardly process what had just happened.\nShe'd ogled Darcy, for one.\nThe silly thought made a giggle bubble in Elizabeth's stomach, bursting forth from her lips when she couldn't hold it down. She'd finally ogled Darcy! It was hilarious for some reason – probably the adrenaline coursing through her veins. Back when she'd first met him, her friend, Charlotte Lucas was stunned that Elizabeth hadn't ogled him. Elizabeth remembered the day like it was just the day before although it had been about ten months…\n- (Ten Months Earlier) -\n\"So, those English models are arriving today… My dad wants both of us to take pictures. Jane has the clothes… um, Bingley is Levi's model while Darcy is Armani's.\" Charlotte Lucas, the senior photographer of the unit and also Elizabeth's best friend since childhood, said. Elizabeth raised a skeptical eyebrow, snatching the papers Charlotte was reading. Having just entered the modeling world – just for a short internship of taking pictures, Elizabeth always pressed - she had no idea who anyone but the current \"hottest\" models were. She knew Bingley (Charles Bingley III, 23, blue-eyed and strawberry blond, 6'1\" and 160 pounds - twin sister Caroline was also a model), but the second one eluded her.\n\"It does say 'Darcy'… who the heck is this guy? I've never heard of him, and Armani wants him?\" Elizabeth questioned, going over to Charlotte's filing cabinet to find his file. Pouring over the names listed in the cabinet, she soon found out that Darcy's was not there.\n\"He wouldn't be in there. His file would be… here.\" Charlotte laughed, going over to her desk and pulling out a small stack of papers from one of the top drawers. She'd had to dig through her father's files before she found anything on the mystery model. Charlotte waited in baited silence when Elizabeth took the file, holding back her laughter.\n\"The heck?! Armani wants… this guy?\" Elizabeth asked loudly, surprised; Charlotte couldn't contain her laughter after that.\n\"This is the guy Armani wants? He's a pencil, and not even in the model way! I don't want to photoshop him either, but… is he even old enough to need a suit other than for weddings or funerals?\" Elizabeth went on, looking at the picture with a keen eye. The kid had good hair, but that was about all he had going for him. There were several pictures of the Darcy boy, a close up of his face, a shot of him in some Ralph Lauren shirts, and a shot of him in a Ralph Lauren bathing suit as well. The close-up of his face revealed bad acne (maybe he didn't have such good hair after all?), wire braces, and a nose too large for his face that was too square for his twig-like neck. His hair was far too long, drooping in beautiful curls over his gray eyes (hey, there was a second redeeming factor for him); Elizabeth couldn't even see his forehead or eyebrows behind his thick locks. In the Ralph Lauren shirt shot, it was a full body, and one could clearly see his body was far too big for him and that he was still going through puberty. His acne had been wiped clean with the help of a computer, and his unruly hair had been slicked back with gel to reveal his dark, heavy eyebrows and his forehead. Darcy's smile, with the braces \"magically\" gone, seemed awkward at best.\n\"Seriously, who would want this guy?\" Elizabeth muttered, eyes resting on the swimsuit shot. The boy was pasty white and deathly skinny; every single one of his ribs peeked out from his slender chest. The drawstring for the swim shorts, quite a bright turquoise and cerulean in contrast to his skin, seemed to be drawn the tightest it would go, but they still hung precariously on his jutting hipbones. If Elizabeth squinted, she could discern the contrast of the boy's skin and the photoshop done to his torso, stemming from the swim shorts and ending halfway to his nonexistent pectoral muscles; he must have been scared of a razor.\n\"Well, guess who his auntie is? Catherine de Bourgh. Poor thing was modeling from his eighth birthday until his sixteenth.\" Charlotte clucked when Elizabeth had calmed down, pointing to the dates on the papers beneath the pictures Elizabeth had been scrutinizing.\n\"Those pictures were when he was sixteen, some of his last shoots. It's been thirteen years since he's been behind a camera for modeling. Auntie needs more money or something, I guess…\" Charlotte explained.\n\"So, he's twenty-nine? Let's hope he hasn't turned out to be an über nerd… I really hate photoshop.\" Elizabeth sighed, mentally preparing herself to do \"little\" touch-ups to an ance-scarred, big-nosed, greasy-haired chump that only got in the business because his aunt had been a big time model back in the day. Charlotte, who had turned to Google the moment she noticed the dates, knew Elizabeth was in for a shock. Darcy had matured beautifully, and his job working in architecture and farming had helped his skin-and-bones problem wonderfully.\n\"Bingley and Darcy should be arriving soon… be prepared for Bingley's twin, too. She seems to have missed that they're not Siamese twins conjoined at the hip.\" Charlotte joked. She'd worked with the Bingley twins before (more specifically, just Charles with Caroline hanging around), and she could easily remember how big of a spoilt brat Caroline was and how nice Charles had been. Elizabeth didn't notice Charlotte go abnormally still, eyes widening, as she snorted.\n\"So we've got Bingley, his nosy sister, and an über nerd Pixie Stick who I'm going to have to photoshop 'cause Auntie Catherine needs a little grease for her palms… yippie.\" She said dryly, looking up when the sniggering she expected never came. From Charlotte's facial expression, she knew one of the three she had just named (made fun of, more like it) was right behind her.\n\"I'm sure you realize my aunt would strangle anyone who got grease on her palms? She's picky about those sort of things.\" The voice was rich and deep, definitely masculine. Elizabeth wouldn't match it to Bingley's appearance, and since the man had said \"my aunt,\" she could only assume it was the Darcy fellow. Turning around with a pinched expression, half rueful and half not, Elizabeth was stunned. With a ghost of a five o'clock shadow and his curls slicked back, not unlike the old Ralph Lauren picture she'd just been criticizing, Darcy was the picture of an elegant, Armani-worthy model even if he was in tattered blue jeans, boots, and a flannel button-up shirt. The first thing Elizabeth noticed, after just how tall the man was, was his nose; unlike in his past photographs, his nose was now crooked.\n\"Yes, I'd expect she would be. You, Darcy, are entirely too tall to model. Why does Armani want you over seasoned, known models? No offense, of course.\" The words spilled forth form Elizabeth's lips before she'd even realized it; inwardly, she flinched. Models were often times very temperamental, and the rich… well, they were a class all to themselves, too, from what she'd experienced.\n\"Of course.\" The smile that spread almost painfully across Darcy's lips didn't reach his eyes.\n\"I know I am; it's how I got out of it before. Charles, it seems, doesn't like wearing penguin suits and somehow convinced Armani I'd be a better fit than he.\" Darcy replied, ears burning when he noticed her sizing him up. Elizabeth, too preoccupied with assessing Darcy's body type, didn't notice his blush. His old pictures boasted of a boy too awkward for his long, broad body, but now he'd fully grown into his own skin. Darcy's chest, once sunken and bony, was filled out with strong muscles, and his middle was no longer rail thin but now a thick bundle of corded flesh. Peeking out from beneath his shirt collar, of which the top two buttons were undone, were a few curly black hairs that presented a slight problem if he was unwilling to shave. Moving from his torso to his arms, Elizabeth could tell he was outside quite a bit from the tanned skin of his revealed forearms contrasting beautifully with the silver of his watch.\n\"Charles is wrong. You'd definitely be a better fit for the Levi ad than he is. Do you think you two could maybe switch?\" Elizabeth looked up to Darcy's face, nearly starting at the intensity of his eyes set beneath sturdy eyebrows that were tilted irritably over them.\n\"Liz, I don't think that's prudent. Armani wants Darcy, and Levi hired Charles.\" Charlotte spoke up softly, placing a hand on Elizabeth's shoulder.\n\"I'd never fit into clothes meant for Charles, anyways. Every part of me is bigger than him.\" Darcy shook his head, tapping out a rhythm on his thighs, only slightly hindered by the fact his hands were in his pockets.\n\"I was just supposed to let you know I — we are here. Mr. Lucas said he wanted a Miss Elizabeth and a Miss Charlotte to get ready for Charles' shoot.\" He cleared his throat, uneasily walking away. Once she was sure Darcy was out of earshot, Charlotte gave a low whistle.\n\"Daaa-yummm. I'd Googled him, but Darcy is definitely better in person.\" She giggled, fanning her face, a blush blooming on her cheeks.\n\"He is very photogenic. I'm sure he'd look very dashing in a tux, but I think he'd fill out the Levis better.\" Elizabeth commented, not catching that Charlotte wasn't talking about work anymore.\n\"Definitely. He almost looks better walking way.\" Charlotte bit her lip, unable to keep a huge grin from forming on her face.\n\"Yeah, that's the angle I'd take for a few shots, too.\" Already, Elizabeth was making a series of photographs in her mind starring Darcy clad in Levis and the flannel shirt he was currently wearing. It would look so fantastic, if she could only get Levi to want him…\n\"Angle? Shots? Liz, honey, I meant Darcy is one hunk of man flesh. He's sex on legs; he's got a good bum. I wasn't talking about a photo shoot. Forget work for a second and just think of how gorgeous Darcy is!\" Charlotte laughed, giving Elizabeth a poke to her very sensitive, ticklish side. Jumping away, Elizabeth flushed out of irritation, shoving a few flyaway hairs out of her face and adjusting her glasses on her nose.\n\"Get your camera, Char. We have work, not ogling, to do.\" She snapped, grabbing her camera from the desk next to the old, scattered photographs of Darcy. Her fingers grazed his bare, skinny chest from the bathing suit shot, dragging the photograph a few centimeters closer to her. Elizabeth never noticed it falling off the desk, fluttering to the floor with his awkward, smiling face pointed in her direction.\nIt was almost two weeks later when Mr. Lucas, Charlotte's father, received a commission from Levi requesting Darcy to model their jeans. Since she'd orchestrated the deal (and because he was intimidated by the man in question), Mr. Lucas told Elizabeth she'd been the one calling Darcy. Unaware that he had gone back to England once his Armani shoot was done, Elizabeth called him with only slight trepidation. Curled up in an office chair, twirling an unsharpened pencil in her left hand, she was entirely unprepared when he answered the phone on the seventh ring.\n\"'Lo?\" Darcy's voice held a warm burr, and his voice seemed to purr out of the receiver. Elizabeth dropped the pencil in surprise, an unconscious blush rushing to her cheeks.\n\"I'm sorry, you must be busy, this is a bad time, I—\" She scrambled for a reason to get off the phone, assuming she'd just interrupted Darcy in an intimate moment with his girlfriend from the tone of his voice.\n\"No, 's… who is this?\" Darcy's purr turned into a tired groan followed by a quiet click, like he'd just yawned and closed his mouth again. Elizabeth's mortification grew in her confused state.\n\"It's, um, it's Elizabeth Bennet – from Lucas Shooting – and I'll just hang up now if you'd like.\" She said meekly, not expecting the scratchy, rumbling laughter that followed her hurried words. Elizabeth hadn't seen Darcy actually genuinely smile, and she wasn't entirely sure he was able to from his holier-than-thou attitude.\n\"Miss 'Lizabeth Bennet, huh… give me a second to wake up… it's midnight, you realize.\"\nShe could barley process that he was teasing her.\n\"Yes of course, I'm so—wait, what? Midnight? It's only seven…\" Elizabeth trailed off, remembering Darcy's charming accent. Right before he spoke the words himself, she realized he must have flown back to England.\n\"Yes, maybe where you are… I live in Derbyshire, England, remember? There are different time zones, Miss Elizabeth.\" He was still chuckling, and Elizabeth could hear noises, like a headboard creaking in protest to the weight leaning against it and the soft grunt coming from Darcy as he stretched, in the background. From his past cold, distant behavior, Elizabeth wondered if he'd hate her for waking him up when he had obviously been sleeping very deeply.\n\"I'm sorry, Darcy, I didn't know you'd gone back.\" Elizabeth replied stiffly, not enjoying his words. Coming from Darcy, his light teasing seemed hurtful, as if he truly believed she was dense enough not to know about the different time zones, rather than fun. She picked up the pencil she'd dropped, resuming in twirling it about her slim digits.\n\"No, no, it's fine. What can I do for you, Miss Elizabeth? Surely no request for me has come?\" The burr was still in his voice, caught in his throat like a bug in a web. Elizabeth tried to ignore it, thinking back to how Darcy never really spoke. Although he didn't cause trouble like Bingley siblings (Charles didn't have the heart to tell his sister to leave, so Elizabeth credited him with at least half of the blame) and did what he was told, Darcy remained aloof throughout his whole shoot. Unless he was spoken to first or was asking something work-related, he didn't breath a word. If he wasn't doing something, one could find Darcy skulking around the walls and corners, alone; it was like he didn't want anything to do with anyone except Charles. Elizabeth had even heard Caroline complaining to Darcy at how the \"simpletons\" at Lucas Shooting were; he neither agreed or disagreed, so Elizabeth took it as a, \"I agree, but I can clearly see one of those 'simpletons' right there in plain sight that can obviously hear you.\"\n\"Yes, actually. Levi wants you for a shoot.\" Elizabeth replied quietly, staring at the pencil betwixt her fingers. She twirled it clockwise, watching the silver bit by the eraser reflect light back into her eyes from the window. Spinning in the chair, Elizabeth realized she probably looked like a troubled girlfriend calling her boyfriend, and with the knowledge that Darcy was in his bed (with that voice) in some state of undress, it wouldn't look too far off if someone could see the both of them, like in the movies. Her cheeks colored unconsciously.\n\"Hnnm… am I allowed to say no? I'd rather not see my arse plastered across wherever Levi puts their ads. Didn't they just do one with Charles?\" With his conversational tone, Darcy wasn't helping Elizabeth's wild imagination. If she just woke him up at midnight, wasn't he supposed to be ugly, short, and cross with her?\n\"It's a trial shoot. Charles, like I said, was a bit slim for their tastes. Can you just think it over? I can give you the number to our offices, and you can call us back later when you're not half asleep.\"\n\"I hadn't the slightest idea they did that. Yes, yes I remember that… 'better fit,' right? How about you call me again tomorrow – at a decent hour for England, if you'd be ever so kind – because I'm not going to go find a pen and paper when my bed is terribly warm and comfortable. It'd be murder to move.\" Darcy's voice was smooth, charming… and infuriating. The words 'how about no' were on the tip of Elizabeth's tongue, but she held back her snarky comment for another time. She had, after all, called him in the middle of the night.\n\"Only if you stop making fun of me, Darcy.\"\n\"Deal.\" His parting chuckle haunted Elizabeth until he finally arrived, back in the Lucas Shooting building, apathetic and misanthropic as usual. It was the complete opposite of how he'd been over the phone, but Elizabeth had expected it of Darcy. It's a truth universally acknowledged that one will make silly comments and act loopy when half asleep.\nDarcy had been surprised, Elizabeth noticed, when he saw Charles still hanging around the Lucas Shooting building. Charles had been a regular interloper, coming when he could, after meeting Elizabeth's sister, Jane, as she was delivering Elizabeth's lunch to her the day after Darcy had left. It was pretty clear Charles was taken with Jane, even if one only glimpsed a few seconds of them together. It was on one of these visits that, during his break, Darcy talked with Charles and Elizabeth eavesdropped on them.\n\"Darce, bro, why aren't you talking to anyone but me? I heard you're being a wallflower again. Why don't you talk to some of the pretty girls?\" Charles' voice was naturally loud, and it carried to where Elizabeth was standing at the refreshment table sipping on a cup of water. Her interest was piqued since it was Charles speaking about 'pretty girls' when she thought him to be interested in Jane.\n\"You know how I get. Also, you monopolize the only pretty girl's attention when she comes around. Her name is Jane, isn't it?\" Darcy replied with a heavy sigh, like he couldn't be bothered. Elizabeth bit her lip, rolling her eyes; of course Darcy would think only Jane was pretty. The man was blind – Charlotte and her sister, Maria, were plenty pretty! And the other girls, like Mary King for instance, were also quite dashing!\n\"Yes, Jane is quite a ravishing angel. I think I'll ask her out next time we meet up. I'd do it over a text or call, since I do have her number and do chat with her like that, but I'd rather make a better, more sincere impression. Anyways, Liz is pretty gorgeous, too – and she's your photographer. You're spending plenty of time with her… why not give Liz a chance? Jane told me she's only doing this internship to put some experience on her resumes. She's not a model-y girl.\" Charles laughed merrily, slapping Darcy's shoulder. When next to his friend, Elizabeth compared, Charles looked even more cheerful. She did a mental fist pump for Jane upon hearing his intentions, and unconsciously held her breath for Darcy's reply. It wasn't like she wanted him to try and be more forward with her; Elizabeth was just curious as to what his answer would be. That's what she told herself, anyways.\n\"Elizabeth? Charles, she's cute, maybe, but too young and childish for my tastes. She's so small; I'm afraid, if I were to impossibly follow your advice, she'd look more like my little sister than Georgiana does.\" Darcy snorted, moving a hand to cover his mouth as he rubbed his jaw. Elizabeth's bright blue eyes bore into his face with defiance, watching his hand move up past his lips to rub at his crooked nose.\n\"Pish posh, Darce. You are Gina are almost like twins. And the height difference between you two would be adorable – you know, like one of those old time-y things!\" Charles retaliated, giving Darcy's arm a punch. Darcy looked away from his friend then, and his eyes locked onto Elizabeth's. She turned her gaze quickly away, knowing how guilty she appeared in doing so, but she didn't care. The nerve of Darcy – her, just maybe cute? He didn't even know her!\n\"Look, Charles, here's your angel. Stop wasting your time with me and go ask her out, you wanker.\" Elizabeth heard Darcy say when she walked away to greet her sister, who'd just arrived.\n- (Crappy Break Line) -\nElizabeth gulped in air, not able to calm herself. Once her laughter had subsided, cold terror coursed through her veins. She could hear him coming, hear his voice calling her name… Still, Elizabeth curled into a tighter ball, hoping he'd give up the chase. However, knowing what she did of Darcy, she knew that wish was futile.\nGosh, what a mess she was in. After her first, shoddy meeting with Darcy, Elizabeth had judged him harshly, not opening up her eyes to what was actually going on around her. She'd put up blinkers to block out the truth desperately trying to reach her because of her prejudice. It didn't help that that stupid ass hat Wickham spread lies she was too happy to eat up, too…\n- (Nine Months Earlier) -\n\"You're a smart girl, Liz. How'd you get stuck doing a job like this?\"\nGeorge Wickham was a breath of fresh air. He was a small-time model, only wanted by the likes of Gap currently, but he was definitely handsome. On top of that, he seemed to have a disposition like Charles Bingley, only less flighty.\nBehind the lens of the camera, Elizabeth assessed George with an artists' eye for detail. He had a nice, masculine jaw that made a fairly good profile, and his hair was perfect the way he spiked it up. George claimed the dirty blond with platinum highlights was natural, but Elizabeth severely doubted it (but that didn't hinder how superb it looked on him). George was tall and had a nice build with washboard abs; he looked to be the perfect, all-American boyfriend, although his eyes were brown instead of blue.\n\"You're a handsome guy, George. How'd you get stuck doing menial shoots like this?\" Elizabeth shot his words back at him, blushing slightly. He was good-looking, charming, smart, funny… what more could a girl ask for?\n\"Well, I could tell you… over dinner, perhaps? It's not a pretty tale, and there's too many people around.\" George replied, winking just as Elizabeth clicked the button to take a picture. It was her favorite yet since he looked the most natural.\n\"Over dinner would be great, George.\" Elizabeth smiled. The rest of the day passed in a blur to her until she left with George to walk to the Italian restaurant down the street from the Lucas Shooting building. Only after they had been seated, ordered, and given their meals did George give in to Elizabeth's pestering.\n\"Well, there's this guy, y'see, that I know. Well, I wouldn't say know… not anymore, at least. Our dads were great buddies, and so when I met him when I entered uni, I thought we'd get along. Both our dads had died by then, and I thought maybe there'd be someone that understood what I went through – was going through, y'know? It turns out Darcy was just a prick.\" George started out, not meeting Elizabeth's expectant gaze as he twirled noodles from his dinner around his fork.\n\"Darcy? As in William Darcy?\" Elizabeth sputtered, almost doing a spit-take with her soda. Surely the world couldn't be that small, could it?\n\"Yeah, you know him?\" George's voice became pinched then, and his shoulders tensed.\n\"Not really, no. He's been pretty boorish and proud, actually.\" Elizabeth narrowed her eyes, wondering why George had reacted as he had. Even though it was more suspicious when his shoulders fell with a sigh of relief, Elizabeth wasn't bothered. She was like a bloodhound hot on the trail and would not be deterred or sidetracked.\n\"Yep, you got that right. Apparently, his dad – Mr. Darcy – had left me some cash in his will. My family – I wasn't well off, y'see… My ma left when I was little, so it was just me and my dad making ends meet. So, being good friends with my dad, Mr. Darcy decided to leave me a scholarship of sorts for when I went to college. I dunno why – I guess I rubbed him the wrong way with my poor ass self – but Will found a way to keep me from that money. Modeling has been my first constant job instead of bouncing around from place to place. I'm thinking about enlisting in the army pretty soon, actually, so I can get an education – a higher form of education, I mean.\" George sighed, wearing a \"what can you do\" face as he leaned back in his chair.\n\"How was he able to do that?\" Elizabeth cocked her head to the side, befuddled. Surely, if George had wanted to get his money, he could have pressed charges. His story didn't quite add up.\n\"Easily. He knew the passwords into the accounts, and I didn't – and still don't – have enough cash for a lawyer - any lawyer, good or bad. I haven't got enough for that extravagance. I'm also not going to go public 'cause of the bond our fathers had… to respect their memories.\" George explained, preventing Elizabeth from inquiring further by sticking his fork into his mouth. Once he was done chewing, he moved the subject onto Elizabeth, and she let him under the impression that the previous one had been too irritating and painful for him.\n- (Crappy Break Line) -\nElizabeth closed her eyes, resting her head back onto the tree trunk. What a mess indeed. That story about Darcy spread like wildfire within the next few days afterwards, and any requests for him were pushed away. No one at Lucas Shooting wanted him around; they even went so far as to limit Charles' access to the building because, after all, they were friends.\nElizabeth felt sick to her stomach rehashing all of the bad memories. If she took away the poison of her prejudice, they could be nice; however, it was nearly impossible since all of her encounters with Darcy had ended up sour in the end… because of her. Well, except when Darcy confessed to her – that one was definitely at least half his fault. You just don't ask someone out like that!\n- (Four Months Earlier) -\nElizabeth felt ill, staring out of the cottage window at the ocean. She'd tolerated Darcy at best whenever he popped up in her life ever since hearing George's story, but now she knew she couldn't do that anymore. No, not since his cousin, Richard Fitzwilliam, confided in her how he \"wasn't\" a bad guy. Apparently, Darcy had saved Charles from getting too serious with an unattached girl!\n\"Charles fancies himself in love a lot, and since Darce thought the girl looked too apathetic, he warned Charles off. Charles is always running to Darce for advice. Darce is almost like Charles' keeper!\" Richard had laughed. Elizabeth had excused herself from Richard's company quickly after that, escaping to the cottage she and Charlotte shared. They were only there because Catherine de Bourgh had wanted to meet the photographers of Darcy's recent modeling shoots, and the only free time Elizabeth and Charlotte had was over spring break. Elizabeth had thought she'd be able to relax since Catherine de Bourgh lived on the California beachfront, but, no. Darcy just had to be around with his obnoxious, albeit funny and charming, cousin. On top of that, she and Charlotte had apparently done a lackluster job on picturing Darcy's \"true essence,\" whatever that meant. Catherine had flown the girls out to California just to berate them then push this weaselly little man, William Collins, onto them to \"tutor\" them. He was insufferable and lacked imagination in Elizabeth's opinion.\nCrossing her arms over her chest to stop from punching the nearest thing next to her, Elizabeth was hit by cold lightning when she saw Darcy hurrying up the beach to the cottage. She was half tempted to ignore him when he knocked on the front door, but it was his aunt's cottage. He could have her and Charlotte out with a snap of his fingers.\nWhen Elizabeth opened the door to him, he was portraying a side of him she'd never seen too much before; up until their most recent meetings, he'd always been confident, if not arrogant, in the way he held himself. As of late, he'd shown off nervous habits, some minute that Elizabeth knew she could have missed before, some extremely obvious. Darcy gave Elizabeth a tight smile, running a hand through his thick curls; this act was what probably kept him hair perpetually tousled. His other hand had his thumb curled through his belt loop, long fingers extended into his shorts pocket; they seemed to be twitching, or at least constantly moving, from the way the fabric breathed.\n\"Richard said you didn't feel well. I thought, perhaps, you might want company.\" He crossed the threshold, and Elizabeth let him close the door behind him. Shrugging, Elizabeth led him into the living room in the back of the cottage, curling up into a ball in one of the poufy armchairs facing the floor-to-ceiling window and screen doors that let anyone in the den watch the ocean. Darcy tried sitting on the couch, but his jingling foot annoyed Elizabeth to the point where she glared at his leg. If he had been wearing anything but those black flip-flops, she wouldn't have heard anything; however, the bottom half kept slapping the hardwood floor erratically. Quickly noticing her vexed gaze, Darcy stood up abruptly, going over to the screen door connected to the wall-window and slid it open, going out onto the porch to lean over the railing on the back porch. At first, Darcy's back was to Elizabeth, and she didn't quite mind him so much. When he turned around to face her, everything changed.\n\"I, er… Elizabeth… would you like to go out with—go out to dinner with me? Alone? As in, on a date? I'm not—I mean, I like you, most ardently.\" Darcy started out. Elizabeth wished she had a camera on her to take a snapshot of him, not entirely paying attention to his words. He looked quite dreamy, artistically speaking, leaning on his elbows against the railing with the ocean and stormy sky behind him, a stark contrast to his lightly colored clothes and the white-sanded beach. A rough breeze pushed his curls this way and that way across his face and scalp, and one of his hands was constantly shoving his wayward bangs out of his clear gray eyes or rubbing his stubble-shadowed jaw, muffling his words. Clad in khaki shorts, a white button-up shirt with a cream sweater pulled over it, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, Darcy looked like the classic rich man on his private beach. Like him, the image was pompously beautiful.\n\"You—I know you're not out of school yet, and it'd look awfully awkward with our age difference. On top of that, we live in two different countries and come from two different social spheres. I know for a fact Aunt Catherine would despise it if I started to date you. It—we, as a couple, would probably appear improper. To anyone. Then there's the matter of your family… I'm sure your mother would make our dating seem like an engagement, and, quite frankly, that wouldn't happen in years, if it ever did. You're not the normal type of girl – young woman I'd go after; however, I can't stop thinking of you. It's maddening. You're maddening. You have a curious case of never being able to hold your tongue, pursue what you want and nothing else, and are irrevocably stubborn.\n\"You seem to be always in the opinion that you are always right, as well. I assume these traits come from your gossiping mother, but that's inconsequential. Your other sisters seem quite… terrifying, really. You and Jane are the only decent people from your immediate family.\" Darcy gave a small, self-satisfied smile complete with set, expecting eyes.\nElizabeth had wished he'd finished the way he'd started, stumbling for words, but she supposed then his revolting confession would last even longer for her to suffer through. No, this self-confidence that came from nowhere was preferable to a bumbling fool. She chewed on her lip for a moment, sucking her top one between her teeth, not noticing the way Darcy stiffened, watching her lips acutely.\n\"I'm sorry, you seem to be under the impression that I like you, Darcy. If I ever led you to think I did, well, my bad; it wasn't my intention to be 'maddening,' as you so delicately put it. Dear me, you seem to have worked yourself into a nice hole, haven't you? Let me tell you straight and be brutally honest like you just were: No. I will not date you, not in a million years. In fact, I'd never even think of it in a trillion years. Despite your, ahem, romantic confession, I do believe there are some wonderful points in your… speech, for the lack of a better word, that can help you get over me. In fact, Caroline Bingley would be more than willing to help you, if you'd ask.\" Elizabeth sneered, almost falling to the temptation to sticking her tongue out at him petulantly. She had crossed her arms over her chest as she spoke, and her legs, which had been curled to her chest, had gone criss-cross-apple-sauce style to allow her arms room to do so. Her posture, complete with an icy glare, let Darcy know she was being quite serious.\n\"I… might I inquire as to why you so abhorrently reject me?\" Darcy asked coolly, shoving his hands into his pockets once more. Defiantly, he leaned even more onto the railing, legs splayed apart in a classic posture of a man wanting to exude dominance in a challenge. It was an unconscious act on his part, but Elizabeth rolled her eyes, scoffing at the typically male action. She stood up, arms still crossed tightly over her chest, walking the few yards out onto the back porch with him. Elizabeth was hit, literally, by the sudden chill of the wind blowing across the ocean and the scents of salt and seaweed it brought with it. Momentarily, she closed her eyes to get caught up in the environment she'd grown to love, enjoying ever millisecond of it before she opened her eyes to a hostile-looking Darcy still awaiting an answer.\n\"You, Darcy, are the most arrogant, selfish, pompous, prideful, full of himself jerk I've ever met. Essentially from the first moment I met you, I knew you were a boorish brute of a man. You think yourself above everyone else, don't you? Beside my own interactions with you, I have what you've done to other people, too!\" In her tirade, Elizabeth had stiffly walked between Darcy's legs to poke him, hard, in the chest at every syllable she spoke; it felt good to dish out some scathing sentences to Darcy; however, her fingertip was complaining within just a few words. Her other hand had gone from her side to rest firmly on her hip. Surprising her, Darcy took her wrist, the one connected to her smarting finger, in his hand, holding it resolutely away from his chest with a concerned look.\n\"You could hurt yourself, you know.\" He said simply, like he forgot they were in the middle of an argument. When Darcy started to raise her hand to his face, Elizabeth jerked back but was unable to free her wrist because Darcy strengthening his grip on her. Elizabeth scowled, attempting to pull her wrist free, but Darcy took her other wrist into his free hand, holding on tightly. It didn't hurt her physically, but Elizabeth felt it as a blow to her pride.\n\"Am I really such a bad person in your eyes, Elizabeth?\" Darcy questioned softly; Elizabeth almost didn't hear him. His visage, half covered by the wind pushing his hair in his face left and right, looked pained. It was a complete turn-around from his previous expression, so it stunned Elizabeth for a second. He actually looked hurt.\n\"Don't you dare pretend to care, Darcy, when I know all you think and worry about is yourself. Your so-called 'confession' cemented that in without a doubt. I know what you've done to George and separated Jane and Charlie, so don't you dare try to play the pathetic victim card. Don't you dare.\" Elizabeth scornfully replied, tugging once more on her arms. Darcy's eyebrows lowered over his eyes, and his fingers tightened around her wrists.\n\"George? George bloody Wickham?\" He all but snarled the name, grip still growing tighter. It was becoming unbearable, and Elizabeth's jerks became more frequent and panicked. She bit back any noises of pain, but her face contorted as he continued to hurt her. Darcy let go of Elizabeth as if he was burned when he saw her expression, straightening himself to get some space between them. He stalked away from Elizabeth, fists forming at his sides, the skin over his knuckles becoming pearly white; she watched him disdainfully, rubbing at her wrists and hoping they wouldn't bruise.\n\"Please, enlighten me of what I've done to George bloody Wickham, Elizabeth. Teach me something.\" Darcy growled when he had calmed somewhat, stiff back still to Elizabeth. He seemed more like a wild beast than a man, and he was starting to frighten Elizabeth. It wasn't Darcy's physical strength that scared her but his raw emotions. Someone who had wronged another couldn't possibly be that outraged by that person's name, and Elizabeth knew Darcy was a horrible actor. She felt cold as the thought, which she forcibly pushed from her mind, that she could be wrong about him toyed with her. For some reason, Elizabeth didn't want to be wrong about Darcy. Perhaps it was because she wouldn't have a reason to reject him, otherwise. He was decent enough when he wasn't being taciturn, and Elizabeth couldn't deny he was handsome.\n\"You kept his college money from him, and now he hasn't been able to find a good source of income because he doesn't have anything but a high school degree.\" Elizabeth's voice was strong when she spoke, but internally she was faltering. Everything within her was shattering with the influence of this new option, like Devil's Snare in sunlight. Her stomach was doing summersaults (not in the good way but in \"the school principal wants to see you\" way), and the sea breeze was biting into her skin harshly with every passing second. On top of all this, Elizabeth did not want to be proven wrong, especially not by Darcy. Bottling up her tumult of emotions, Elizabeth presented Darcy with an air of cool defiance spiked with loathing.\n\"Oh yes, how I have wronged him. I can see the error of my ways now, thank you so much. I have been such a prat, so let me start apologizing on my knees now.\" Darcy sneered, voice filled with more emotion (sarcasm) than Elizabeth had once thought he was capable of. With his back to her, Elizabeth missed his troubled expression that didn't match with his voice, the expression that would reveal how sickened he was. Darcy wasn't disgusted with Elizabeth, no, just himself and George Wickham. How could he have misread Elizabeth so much? How could he have given her such an offending impression of himself that she'd believe George Wickham's mendacity?\n\"Yes, you have been! What are you going to say about breaking Charlie and Jane up, huh? Is Jane too poor for Charlie, is that it? Is it because you hate our family – whom you've never met, I might add, and only have one asinine phone call you eavesdropped on to form an impression of them – that you couldn't stand your friend simply dating my sister? They were dating, you ass hat, not getting engaged or anything permanent! Who are you to judge if Jane was 'unattached' or not? I'd never seen her happier, but you fucking ruined that with your ego that's the size of the – the - the always-growing universe! We don't live in the age – 1800s or so, I'd guess – where that kind of status shit matters!\" Elizabeth lashed out, rightfully so. This was the only subject she had solid footing on since it had come from the horse's mouth (almost… second-hand from the horse's mouth, anyways) and not some stranger she had gone on a few dates with (and who had eventually left her waiting on him for a few hours before texting her, \"Sry bby, g2g, c u around – mor fish i al dat\"). Frustrated tears formed in her eyes out of ire, and they nearly escaped in shock when Darcy whirled around, one finger pointing accusingly at Elizabeth's chest.\n\"You blinkered little – I…\" He began and suddenly stopped, panting heavily as if he'd run miles. Elizabeth could see how wide his eyes were, how flushed he was becoming, and was unsure of what was about to happen. She certainly didn't expect Darcy to deflate like a balloon, quickly loosing all the hot air he'd been about to spit out. His taut shoulders drooped, and his hand wilted, uncurled and limp from its previous pointing position, by his side. An ironic smile twisted its way onto his handsome visage, and it was the first time Elizabeth saw that his mouth conveyed the same message his eyes did. She watched nervously as he looked up to the dark, cloudy sky, sighing through his nostrils. Darcy's face was gentle when he looked down at her again, bearing a simple smile that made him utterly beautiful is a melancholy way.\n\"I'm sorry, Elizabeth, for interrupting your day. I hope you feel better soon. Please don't stay out here for much longer – the forecast called for thunderstorms, and the sky is agreeing with it for once. Good-bye, Elizabeth.\"\nDarcy looked positively depressed as he slouched (yes, slouched! The man who always had impeccable posture slouched!) away. Elizabeth wanted to scream at how unnervingly calm he'd become, to shout at him to come back and finish what he'd started, but instead she crumpled down to the ground in pure disbelief. How could he just… what… why… He liked her, \"most ardently?\" Hugging herself, Elizabeth struggled to her buckling legs to stumble back into the cottage and scream into one of the throw pillows on the couch. It still smelled faintly of Darcy from his brief contact with it, Elizabeth noted dully. She spent the rest of the time until Charlotte came back cradling the pillow to her chest, close to tears but unwilling to let them fall. Elizabeth was still in her utterly dumbfounded state when Charlotte found her gazing out at the rain that had finally started falling not too long after Elizabeth had finished screaming into the pillow. Charlotte chalked up Elizabeth's uncharacteristically mute and stiff behavior to her actually being ill and sent her friend straight to bed after making Elizabeth take some cold medicine.\nThe morning after, Elizabeth put on a brave face for Charlotte, still trying to digest what had exactly happened the day before. After breakfast, Elizabeth decided to take a jaunt along the beach, walking just close enough to the water that the tide washed over her feet. Sometimes she had to walk over seaweed, and it felt crunchy and uncomfortable under her sensitive bare feet. Elizabeth, watching the land, water, and algae pass beneath her, never noticed Darcy until the crown of her head bumped into his torso and her eyes saw his bare feet centimeters in front of her own. Although her initial reaction was to apologize, maybe blush, and run away, she defiantly looked up at Darcy to try to tell him through her expression alone that he should get lost before she broke his family jewels. Elizabeth immediately regretted it, though, when she saw how haggard Darcy looked. He looked a bit pale, his eyes were sunken, red, and had bags beneath them, and he seemed older than he really was. Elizabeth retracted her malicious expression, turning her head to face the sea; she only did so knowing she was the cause of his appearance.\n\"Sorry, Darcy, I didn't see you.\" Elizabeth spoke quietly, only remorseful that he appeared as he did, not because she'd bumped into him. Even then she felt torn about her emotions because she knew she had been right to attack him like she had.\n\"It's quite all right. Please, promise me you'll read this?\" His voice cracked, and Darcy cleared his throat by coughing awkwardly. Elizabeth returned her gaze to him, searching his rueful face for reasons she knew not before taking the proffered envelope. Elizabeth was very tempted to retort, \"Promises are for children, aren't they? Isn't that a bit too childish for you?\" However, seeing his countenance, she figured he'd suffered enough for one twenty-four hour period.\n\"I promise.\" She swore, and for a second, Elizabeth was scared Darcy was going to lean down and kiss her. His head had started to edge lower, but he stopped himself, running his now-empty hand through his hair.\n\"Thank you, I… thank you. Good bye, Elizabeth.\" Darcy murmured, awkwardly shuffling his way down the beach. Elizabeth watched him leave, mind screaming, \"Look back. Look back at me!\" He didn't, however, even glance once back over his shoulder.\n- (Crappy Break Line) -\nElizabeth removed her backpack from her shoulder. It was a well-worn messenger bag, not too big or too small; it carried the faded messages written in Sharpie from her sisters, Charlotte, and reminders to herself. Clearly, the bag had seen better days, but she never left it at home, clinging tightly to the memories literally woven into it (like when she got her mother to teach her how to sew so she could patch up the hole that had formed on it – that had been an adventure). Elizabeth opened the top flap, gazing at one of the small front pockets where Darcy's letter currently resided. The letter now resembled her beloved bag; it was dog-eared and the margins were filled with her scribbled comments. Taking a deep breath, Elizabeth listened for signs of Darcy following her outside; all she could hear was what she assumed was normal for Pemberley (birds and other animals talking to each other, workers joking, things like that). She was disappointed and relieved that she couldn't hear Darcy.\nWhen she took the letter out of her bag, Elizabeth didn't notice Darcy silently coming up to the tree she was huddled below. He would have spoken up if he didn't notice what she held between her fingers: his letter. Darcy swallowed harshly, ears burning as he remembered the night he'd written that stupid letter.\n- (Four Months Earlier) -\nDarcy was steaming, positively fuming when he returned to his aunt's main cottage. He was so incensed that he was actually rude to Catherine when she asked where he'd gone. Poor Anne, his timid, meek cousin, almost got caught in the crossfire when she stepped into the hall. Darcy had never seen her so scared, and it infuriated him even more.\nAfter dispensing with his aunt, Darcy had gone to his room (slamming the door behind him immaturely) and started pacing. He had to figure out a way to remove the blindfold Elizabeth had tied securely around her eyes; he just had to. He almost got physically ill thinking of what George Wickham could have done to her. Darcy knew he should have gotten that bastard when George was in his grasp.\nBut Georgiana would have been mortified. Like he should be now, thinking about what he'd just done. Darcy moaned, his anger dissipating once again, as he fell onto the bed in his room. He was spread-eagle over the comforter, arms and legs hanging off the edges.\nWhat could he do? Elizabeth would never listen to him. Darcy didn't have her phone number, email, or address, so he couldn't call, text, or send her a message. He was all out of options, unless… unless he was able to see her again before she and Charlotte left in the afternoon. But how should he go about it? Darcy rolled his eyes at himself, heaving his body into a sitting position. First, he would most likely need something to write with and something to write on. He started rooting through his rarely used briefcase, finding an errant pen that was probably on its last legs and one tattered legal pad in mere seconds.\nDarcy returned to the bed, popping himself up on the headboard and resting the legal pad on his thighs. He held the pen tip between his teeth, debating on what to start with.\nGod, he was a fool.\n\"Dear Elizabeth,\" Darcy started with, still debating if he should insert a, \"Miss,\" in there as he started writing the first sentence. He knew he had to get her to actually read the darn thing, so the first paragraph ended up being a hurried, rushed, \"This is NOT a love letter, please, please, please, please read this\" paragraph, only more eloquently put. Once he was done with that, Darcy gave a self-satisfied smile, sure that Elizabeth would continue reading his letter to her.\n… Or not. Doubt crawled its way into Darcy's mind; he immediately responded by ripping the sheet of paper off the pad, crumbling it up into a tight ball, and throwing the ball at the wall. Growling to himself, Darcy chewed furiously on the end of the pen, scarring the plastic.\n\"Dear Elizabeth,\" He began again, continuing on while ignoring the nagging feeling the letter would end up obsolete because she'd never read it, \"This is not a love letter, I assure you, or a repetition of my feelings from last night that so deeply disgusted you. This is merely a letter defending myself against the charges you laid against my door yesterday. I would like you to know what harm could come by George Wickham's hand; plus, I'd also like to tell you that I broke Charles and Jane up for Charles' own good.\" Although it was shorter, this paragraph was less desperate than the first one he'd written, so Darcy kept on writing.\n\"I will start with Charles and Jane since Wickham,\" Darcy paused, scowling deeply as he attempted to formulate a decent sentence that didn't include calling Wickham various derogatory names.\n\"… is a highly sensitive subject for me. Charles has a penchant for finding a beautiful girl wherever he goes and calling her his 'angel.' I mean no disrespect to Jane when I write this; it's just that Charles fancies himself in love with 'angels' quite a bit. He means no harm, but generally those 'angels' are wolves in sheep's' clothing. I have continually seen Charles burned by his 'angels,' and at first, I didn't know what to make of Jane. She's quiet and genuinely nice, quite a bit different than Charles' past 'angels.' However, she acted no differently with Charles than she did with me or any other man (or person, really) from what I saw. I will not deny that I told Charles I believed her unattached when he inquired for my opinion on if he should start dating her or not. That is, however, where my direct interference ends.\" Darcy sighed as he stilled his hand, wondering if Elizabeth would believe him or not. Would his truthful words offend her? Swallowing his reservations, he barreled on with the paragraph.\n\"Caroline, Charles' twin, was the one who literally separated them by asking Charles to accompany her to Australia. Since she echoed my words about Jane, Charles readily agreed to go see 'beach babes' (his words, not mine). It was there he realized that, despite his attempts to change his feelings for Jane, they would not reverse or leave him. Charles ahs confided in me that he didn't look twice at a woman unless she resembled Jane, and even then he didn't look a third time since he knew it wasn't her. You may do what you want with this information. I did not separate them on the grounds of a conversation I admit to eavesdropping on. Your mother seemed to think them already engaged and adamant that she had to tell all of Meryton (your home town, I assume) that Jane had a rich husband. Even I could see Jane didn't agree with her sentiments. Then your sisters spoke up, and I believe I'd be terrified to meet them. They seem rambunctious, lively, and loud – none of those qualities in people that I like and dread to find. It's nothing personal and came out of my mouth completely wrong yesterday.\" Darcy finished, writing in the past tense when referring to The Confession (it was so horrible it deserved the caps) because he knew he'd be handing it to her the following day. Glancing at the clock sitting merrily on the bedside table, Darcy steeled himself for a long, restless night as it was already close to ten o'clock. It had taken him nearly two hours to write the easy part of his letter.\nHe stared out the darkened window at the rain he couldn't see, sighing. Darcy was not an overly pessimistic person (which everyone he knew would vehemently disagree with that statement), but he felt positively dreary faced with the prospect of bearing his soul to a young woman who'd stolen his heart and would never reenter his life after this to give it back.\n\"You told me I kept Wickham's college money from him, that I am responsible for his current inability to acquire a job with a decent salary. I'm not sure what sob story he told you, but I can assure you it is untrue. He's always been a gifted, charming liar; it is quiet easy to fall under his spell. I'll start in the beginning of our story, if it is apt to call it that.\n\"I grew up with Wickham (I'm sure he told you this, but I'll repeat it just in case of the impossible). His father was the landlord of my family's estate, Pemberley, and his mother was our sous-chef (cook? We don't have a chef…). George and I were about the same age (he is three years my senior), so our fathers assumed we'd become fast friends. We met their expectations and then some. Wickham became the brother I'd never had. Then, my sister was born when I was eleven and he was fourteen, and everything from then went downhill.\" Darcy had to stop writing then, memories flooding his eyes. He could recall the boy Wickham once was and speculated how everything had changed so fast. He rubbed at his eyes in a tired fashion, chewing on the pen some more before commencing with his letter to Elizabeth.\n\"My sister's birth isn't exactly the cause of all that happened, but it is a big event that was the prequel to everything. My mother died in childbirth, and my father was never the same again. I pushed everyone away, including Wickham, so we lost touch within a few months of Georgiana's entrance into the world. Mrs. Reynolds (then my nanny and the head cook/chef, now…well, the same, I suppose, just now she is the head of everything inside the house, form cleaning to tours) was the one in charge of rearing Georgiana, so she enlisted my help in raising Georgiana in hope to aid me in coping. I'm eternally grateful to her for doing that. My father became distant, not unlike I'd become, and so I didn't see Mr. Wickham, Wickham's father, or Wickham again until my father sent me to the all-boy's boarding school Wickham was attending. I was fifteen, Wickham was eighteen, and Georgiana was four.\n\"Having not kept correspondence with Wickham, I was surprised to see him at my school. I hadn't known my father was paying for his education. He'd changed for the worse then. Wickham was the school's star football (soccer for you) player, and he was the sister school's heartthrob. This I believed was capable by my innocent childhood friend, and I was happy for him. It wasn't until the second semester of my first year that I caught wind of his not so innocent ways. Wickham was a notorious heartbreaker and a cheater, which I believed was understandable given his current high status in the schools. I didn't commend his behavior; I just understood it. He graduated that year, and he actually did attend college after a year of absence. Wickham had always expressed a desire to backpack around Europe, so my father gave him a credit card and told him to fulfill his dreams. On my father's tab, Wickham spent errantly, and quickly ran up a six-digit bill within six months. I'm not entirely sure what conspired between them, but my father cut Wickham off after that.\n\"It was the last I heard of Wickham until his father died almost three years later of a heart-attack when Wickham was twenty-one. Wickham claimed he couldn't attend his own father's funeral, and it left his mother broken-hearted. He was mailed his inheritance at his then-current residence. His mother remarried within a year to a Mr. Garth Younge, on of the farm hands at Pemberley. Because of the quickness of the affair, we all, Wickham included, assumed Mrs. Wickham had been cheating on her husband. Because I wasn't there at Pemberley, Mrs. Reynolds had been getting Mrs. Wickham to help raise Georgiana, and I wasn't entirely comfortable with it but said nothing. My father died of a stroke when I was twenty-three and Georgiana was twelve. With no father or mother and since I was at university, Georgiana's only parental figures were Mrs. Reynolds and Mrs. Wickham. My doubts about Mrs. Wickham became real just two years ago. This is where I pause in this sordid tale and beg you to keep the rest of the contents of this letter to yourself.\" Darcy felt severely ill as the all too fresh scar was being picked at. He almost called Georgiana just to hear her voice, to make sure she was all right, but he didn't because of the late hour. Biting his cheek, Darcy resumed writing.\n\"Georgiana was just sixteen, and Wickham was thirty. If you can remember yourself at sixteen, just imagine having the attention of a handsome, older man saying he loved you. Place yourself in her shoes as I continue, please. Or don't. It's painful, and I don't want to hurt you. I was not aware of their relationship because Georgiana hid it from me. Wickham approached her when she was at school (not boarding, the public one in Lambton), and once they became a 'couple,' he picked her up from school. Georgiana told me she was going out with friends, and I was exultant for her since she shares my inability to make friends. It was the first time she'd ever asked to 'hang out' at someone else's house, so I was extremely glad to give her my consent day after day, thinking her life finally was looking up. It was maybe two months along before I decided to see if I could meet some of Georgiana's 'friends' and their parents, so I called the number Georgiana supplied me with. A very irate, elderly man answered the phone, and within minutes I knew it was a wrong number. I became suspicious then and decided to take a weekend day off of my work around Pemberley to follow Georgiana around when she was supposed to go out with her 'friends.' I'm not proud of what I did, per se, but I am happy I did it.\n\"I saw you reading my file when we first met, the file of my stint in the modeling world. That had started out innocently enough because my mother believed I was a cute child, but as soon as she let my Aunt Catherine have reign over what I did, the job went sour. Because of this modeling job, Wickham was jealous of me, but I never knew. When I entered the same boarding school as him, I unknowingly stole his thunder. Again, he was bitter. From the beginning, he'd been envious of my position. I'd never realized any of this until two years ago when he decided to try and take everything I had left from me.\n\"I followed my sister to Wickham's house, unsure of what they were doing together. Because he'd been my childhood friend and wasn't a teenager anymore, I stupidly assumed he'd matured and had become a gentleman. I thought maybe he had a child; maybe he was married and had enlisted Georgiana as a babysitter. Although I did sneak around Wickham's crumbling flat, it was good I did. From my snooping, I finally got to witness what Georgiana had been doing for two months with her 'friends.' In search of the room where Wickham and Georgiana had gone into, I saw a room filled with nude hand-drawn pictures of my sister in provocative positions. The unfinished ones covered the floor, and the complete ones were framed on the walls. It was horrifyingly disgusting; I actually got sick on the side of the house.\" Darcy had to scramble to the nearest bathroom then, shoving the pen and legal pad aside, to dry heave into the toilet. The traumatizing images were still unfailingly fresh in his mind. Once his stomach had stopped contracting, Darcy took shaky breaths before he leaned his head under the faucet in the tub. He turned the knob for the cold water, letting it fall and wash away his burning hate. Elizabeth had to know. When he returned to his room, hair damp and cold, Darcy felt dead as he dropped listlessly onto the bed.\n\"I will finish this letter, and I will give it to Elizabeth.\" He told himself.\n\"From then on, I'm not sure my behavior was commendable. I broke into Wickham's flat, and that caused him to leave whatever room he had been in with my sister. He seemed shocked at first, but then he decided to bait me by asking me if I wanted to see his art gallery full of 'beautiful' Darcy models. I do not regret punching him in the face. Wickham was pretty unhealthy-looking and slim, but I'd never been in a fight before, unlike him. Neither of us noticed Georgiana poking her head around a corner to watch until I slammed him into a wall, holding him up by his shirt. By then, he'd broken my nose and bruised a couple of my ribs; I know I'd dealt more damage to him, but I remain unaware of the full extent even still. Georgiana was, thankfully, fully clothed when she ran at me and started hitting me in the back with her little fists, screeching at me to put her love down. Everything from then went horribly. It only took a check of twenty thousand pounds (about thirty thousand U.S. dollars) for Wickham to promise to leave my baby sister alone. Georgiana told me she hated me that day and that she'd get 'Nan Younge' (what she called Mrs. Wickham) to help her run away as I drove her home. Apparently, Mrs. Wickham had been helping her son with Georgiana's cover story by assuring Mrs. Reynolds that she'd spoken to Georgiana's 'friends' and their 'parents' since she had been the one to pick Georgiana up from school before her son took over that duty. Needless to say, I fired her the second I got home with Georgiana that day (Mr. Younge ended up divorcing her when he found out about what Mrs. Wickham had done).\n\"I didn't press charges against either of the Wickhams because of Georgiana. I had to send her to therapy to convince her neither Wickham loved her, and then she had to continue going to help her get over her mortification. Georgiana still has a once a month appointment with her psychiatrist, just in case her fears come back. We've gotten much, much closer since then, and I'm grateful for the change. I'm grateful Wickham has not been in contact with your own sisters, or else I fear something like this might have happened to you. I'm sorry for putting you through this, Elizabeth, but you had to be told.\"\nDarcy threw the legal pad into the wall, confused and vexed. Did he have to tell Elizabeth? Could he reveal his little sister's darkest secret to Elizabeth? Did he have the right to? He almost got up to rip the letter to pieces, but he left it alone on the floor. Darcy rolled onto his side, staring out the window. It had stopped raining; he couldn't hear the pitter-patter of the droplets hitting the window anymore. He fell into an exhausted, emotionally drained sleep that resulted in nightmares he couldn't remember upon waking up in a cold sweat a scant few hours later. Not wanting to go back to sleep, Darcy left the bed and showered then, consulting his conscious beneath the scalding water as he cleansed his body.\nMaybe it was the right thing to do, telling Elizabeth. Darcy had never told a soul of the story, and it was killing him internally. But was it fair to unload it onto Elizabeth? He felt better after writing the tale now, but he was unsure if he should he should give the unfinished letter to Elizabeth. Ultimately, he decided that she should know of Wickham's character before she went back into his slimy hands, so Darcy left the shower to finish the letter with just a towel on his hips.\n\"I will finish this letter with an apology for my poor conduct yesterday. You were underserving of my atrocious words. I hope you are feeling better and wish you the best of luck in life. If you would like to confirm these events, please don't shy away from asking Richard; he knows the story through Georgiana and can corroborate everything, if you wish.\n\"Sincerely, Fitzwilliam Darcy.\"\n- (Crappy Break Line) -\nDarcy could see all of Elizabeth's notes on his letter. They all amounted him to being a \"big, stupid idiot\" and Wickham being a \"complete ass hat douche bag.\"\n\"Although the statement is a bit redundant, I am a big, stupid idiot.\" Darcy commented dryly, startling Elizabeth. She jumped and held a hand to her chest, looking up at him with her wide, sparkling blue eyes.\n\"I—I—how long have you been there?\" Elizabeth asked meekly, trying to hide the letter. She had crossed out her original hateful comments quite thoroughly, but she still didn't want Darcy even trying to decipher them.\n\"Not long, I promise. How… how are things, Elizabeth? May I sit with you?\" Darcy pointed at the patch of grass by her right side.\n\"Oh, um, its your property and all… um, Jane's well. She texted me earlier that Charlie came back on his knees begging for her forgiveness.\" Elizabeth shrugged, not meeting Darcy's stormy gaze as he sat down next to her. His knee, covered by jeans that were dirtied and frayed, brushed her bare knee. Now that she was next to him, Elizabeth could smell the scent of sweat and horses on Darcy's person.\n\"Yes… I told him it was wrong of me to convince him to leave Jane and that, well, she might not be as unattached as I'd believed her to be. He was on the next flight back.\" Darcy gave her a tight, awkward smile.\n\"Thank you, for that. Jane is… very happy.\" Elizabeth broke off, stiffening as the tension between them strengthened. A few minutes of silence passed between them before Darcy spoke.\n\"And how are you? Are you happy, Elizabeth?\"\n\"I'm… honestly not. I want to apologize to you for my scathing words… I mean, you deserved it and all, but… I should have given you more credit than I did with that ass hat. So, I'm sorry. And I accept your apology – apologies, from the letter, I mean.\" Elizabeth responded, still not looking at Darcy's face. She scrutinized his body, feeling as if he'd lost some weight, but she wasn't sure. He still looked handsome and healthy, at any rate.\nAlthough Darcy believed Elizabeth had nothing to apologize for, he could see it was important to her from her rueful, embarrassed mien.\n\"Apology accepted.\" They lapsed into silence again, some of the tension fading away. Neither wanted to place a name on the strain that remained, both remembering how they'd incorrectly read the other previously.\n\"I-I'm here with my aunt and uncle… I'm not here to… I can delete that picture, if you want.\" Elizabeth finally blurted out, blushing profusely. Darcy smiled, shaking his head. He grabbed her chin between his fingers, making her look at his face instead of his boot-clad feet; Elizabeth's eyes unwillingly zoomed in on his lips. They looked dry, and there was a healing cut near the bottom left corner. She wondered if it'd be uncomfortable to feel his stubble on her jaw.\n\"You can keep the picture if you look at me, Elizabeth. You don't have to be so shy.\"\nElizabeth barely heard his words. Darcy's ears were burning when he realized why her eyes were slightly south of his, and he dropped his gaze as well just in time to see her suck her upper lip into her mouth uncomfortably. He swallowed hard, wondering if it'd be prudent to try and kiss her. The tension between them had increased tenfold with shocking charge, but it was easily shattered by Elizabeth's phone vibrating and emitting a song Darcy would later learn was called \"Tangled Up In Me\" by Skye Sweetnam.\n\"Sorry, it's my aunt… Aunt Maida?\" Elizabeth turned her back to Darcy, picking up her phone.\n\"Um, sorry I left, I, er… I'm just outside the door underneath the trees. I—what. You're where?\" Elizabeth whirled around then, resting one hand on Darcy's knee to peer across the pond. He followed her gaze to see two people waving madly from the gazebo. The blood drained from Elizabeth's cheeks.\n\"Um, yeah, I see you, Aunt Maida… I'm with Darcy…. Yeah, as in the owner of this, erm, estate… We were not! Shut up! I'm hanging up on you!\" Elizabeth yelped, the blood returning quickly to her cheeks as she hung up forcibly on her aunt.\n\"What was that about?\" Darcy asked, glad that the ice had finally been broken. Elizabeth looked away, the hand on his knee tightening into a first.\n\"She, um, thought we were… yeah. And… we weren't.\" Elizabeth muttered, mortified beyond comprehension. Throwing caution to the wind, Darcy took a deep breath before inquiring, \"What if we were?\"\nElizabeth jerked her head to look at Darcy then. His eyes were downcast, locked onto her fist on his knee. Darcy took it up in both of his, gently prying her fingers from her palm and rubbing the pad of his thumb along her knuckles.\n\"Elizabeth, I still feel the way I did four months ago, though perhaps more ardently… if… if your feelings have changed, I… I'd like to ask you out. Properly, without al the bullocks attached.\" Darcy said, only looking up from Elizabeth's fingers at the end of his little confession, giving a rakish half-smile. Elizabeth was unaware that her heart was beating just as quickly as Darcy's was.\n\"I'd like that, very much.\" Elizabeth almost stammered, unable to fully appreciate the stunning grin Darcy gave her before he leaned forward and pressed it to her own, much smaller one. Elizabeth's earlier thought was answered as she realized that hi stubble didn't feel that uncomfortable at all; in fact, she could easily get used to it.\nA/N: -hides from F.I. readers- So, yeah, this one-shot has been plaguing me for forever. I get random bouts of inspiration for it and finally finished it like a year-ish after first conceiving it. I know that I didn't accurately portray the modeling world and all… but I'm too lazy to look it up. o-o\" Yeah, well… thanks for reading; I hope you enjoyed it. :) Edit: I kinda just realized I'd forgotten then disclaimer… so I just added that and italicized the letter part (because I was told it was a bit difficult to understand that part). :)\nEdit: I kinda just realized I'd forgotten then disclaimer… so I just added that and italicized the letter part (because I was told it was a bit difficult to understand that part). :)\n~ Tobi"}

Many of the same supply stores where parents are shopping for school items are the same places that many companies look to for office supplies. If you look at the deals they are offering, many of the products they have on sale are the same products most of us use on a daily basis in our office space. So why not take advantage of these end-of-summer sales for your business too?\nWhile office business centres like Telsec do not have end-of-summer sales, we often get a great deal of inquires from businesses looking to rent office space at the end of summer. This is partly due to the mindset of small business owners that with their kids going back to school, it is time for them to get back to work without the benefit of long weekends and holidays. This is also because many home-based business owners begin to realize that even with the kids in school, they need to work from an office that provides them with not only a prestigious business address, but also a professional working atmosphere.\nBusinesses of all sizes are changing in what types of office space arrangements they are looking for. Not as many businesses are looking at tradition raw office space, but they are looking at offices where they can be flexible with the number of employees they have in the office – and how many they can have working remotely even if it’s only a few days a week. Not needing a dedicated desk for every employee, or not paying for unused boardrooms or meeting rooms, are just some of the reasons why businesses are taking a serious look at office business centres and the many inexpensive services they provide. They are also looking at the infrastructure costs that come with raw office space and realizing that the cost of owning or leasing office equipment like a telephone system or photocopiers are capital costs that tie up funds they could be using to promote and grow their businesses.\nAgain, while Telsec may not have any “Back To School” sales or introductory offers, our staff are willing to compete with written quotes from any other business centres. Our prices are no secret and we do not have any hidden fees – so call us today to arrange a tour."}

{"text": "Date Published: April 22, 2019\nPublisher: Public Library of Science\nAuthor(s): Chiao-Hsuan Chao, Wei-Chueh Wu, Yen-Chung Lai, Pei-Jane Tsai, Guey-Chuen Perng, Yee-Shin Lin, Trai-Ming Yeh, Richard J. Kuhn.\nAbstract\nDengue virus (DENV) infection, the most common mosquito-transmitted viral infection, can cause a range of diseases from self-limiting dengue fever to life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome. Thrombocytopenia is a major characteristic observed in both mild and severe dengue disease and is significantly correlated with the progression of dengue severity. Previous studies have shown that DENV nonstructural protein 1 (NS1), which can be secreted into patients’ blood, can stimulate immune cells via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and can cause endothelial leakage. However, it is unclear whether DENV NS1 can directly induce platelet activation or cause thrombocytopenia during DENV infection. In this study, we first demonstrated that DENV but not Zika virus cell culture supernatant could induce P-selectin expression and phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure in human platelets, both of which were abolished when NS1 was depleted from the DENV supernatant. Similar results were found using recombinant NS1 from all four serotypes of DENV, and those effects were blocked in the presence of anti-NS1 F(ab’)2, anti-TLR4 antibody, a TLR4 antagonist (Rhodobacter sphaeroides lipopolysaccharide, LPS-Rs) and a TLR4 signaling inhibitor (TAK242), but not polymyxin B (an LPS inhibitor). Moreover, the activation of platelets by DENV NS1 promoted subthreshold concentrations of adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggregation and enhanced platelet adhesion to endothelial cells and phagocytosis by macrophages. Finally, we demonstrated that DENV-induced thrombocytopenia and hemorrhage were attenuated in TLR4 knockout and wild-type mice when NS1 was depleted from DENV supernatant. Taken together, these results suggest that the binding of DENV NS1 to TLR4 on platelets can trigger its activation, which may contribute to thrombocytopenia and hemorrhage during dengue infection.\nPartial Text\nDengue is the most widespread mosquito-borne viral infection, infecting approximately 390 million people and causing 500,000 hospitalizations every year [1, 2]. Most infected patients have a mild, self-limited disease known as dengue without warning signs, but some can develop severe dengue, which is characterized by plasma leakage, fluid accumulation, severe bleeding, and organ impairment [3]. The underlying mechanisms by which mild dengue progresses to severe dengue are still unclear [4–6]. Thrombocytopenia, a common feature observed in both mild and severe dengue disease, is correlated with disease severity and is considered a predictive biomarker of severe dengue [7, 8]. However, the mechanisms that cause thrombocytopenia during dengue infection are not fully understood.\nIn this study, we demonstrated that DENV NS1 in the concentration, which is within the range of NS1 in dengue patients’ sera (0.01–50 μg/ml), could activate platelets and induce apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner through TLR4 signal transduction. In addition, the aggregation of NS1-activated platelets in response to subthreshold concentrations of ADP was enhanced. The adhesion of NS1-activated platelets to endothelial cells and the phagocytosis of these platelets by THP-1 cells were also increased. Because NS1 can also bind to endothelial cells and macrophage to cause their activation and cytokine release, all these effects induced by NS1 may contribute to platelet activation and thrombocytopenia during DENV infection (Fig 10)[31].\nSource:"}

{"text": "28 Feb Cellulose Nanocrystals Added to Drilling Fluids\nBeing Canada’s largest producer of oil and natural gas, the province of Alberta will soon benefit from the contribution of a tree-based nanoparticle: cellulose nanocrystals (CNC).\nIn fact, since 2011, the ArboraNano network, in partnership with Marquis Alliance Energy Group Inc. and Alberta Innovates, has carried out research on the potential role of CNC as an additive to drilling fluids and muds.\nIt can play a number of roles in the drilling of a well, notably keeping liquids and gases from seeping into the boreholes. The drilling mud also allows drilling debris to rise to the surface and helps to cool the bit and keep it clean during drilling. Under the direction of Professor Yaman Boluk from University of Alberta, this project has shown that the use of CNC as an additive to drilling fluids makes it possible to minimize the loss of mud in boreholes, as well as to limit damage to geological formations, and to ensure that other additives such as clays and polymers perform better in lower dosages."}

{"text": "François Hollande officialise sa séparation avec Valérie Trierweiler\nL'Elysée a annoncé samedi la séparation du couple présidentiel. Cette nouvelle était attendue après la révélation d'une liaison entre le chef de l'Etat et l'actrice Julie Gayet. (AFP)\n4 comments:\nIt Ain't Over Till she releases her vitriolic revenge memoir.\nI'm sorry, but what a cad.\nAnd I really didn't like Trierweiller after what she did out of spite to François' ex/mother of his children, supporting a political opponent just to make her lose an election and kick her while she could.\nBut still. Based on her \"communiqué\" she didn't want things to be announced like that, and he went ahead and did it while she was on a charity trip.\nHe deserves to be dumped by Julie Gayet, very publicly. :)\nPart of it really feels like a high school drama, with the valedictorian being dumped by the class president for the residing mean girl who finds herself dumped by text for the school play lead. It's not even at DeGrassi level, more like Suburgatory. Astounding for this level of government and certainly as bad as anything Sarkozy ever did (although Hollande, here, is indeed being very \"normal\", I guess.)\nAnyway... at least the charity will get maximum exposure, perhaps something good will come out of it for the people it serves.\nA trivial but amusing update: The Élysée website was apparently the last holdout but now the section devoted to Valérie Trierweiler has been scrubbed. The former First Lady is now officially a non-person.\nValérie Trierweiler is the most hated woman in France since Marie Antoinette, but isn't the anger a bit misplaced? People seem to forget it was Hollande who imposed Valerie Trierweiler on the French people, after running a duplicitous election campaign, presenting her as, \"la femme de ma vie\" \"the love of my life\", already involved in an affair with another mistress, Julie Gayet. She is a human being, who was used, humiliated, and discarded, in the same way Hollande used Ségolène Royal. Hollande is a serial abuser.\nFrance has very serious problems, economic, societal, and social, as well as international. Hollande is now become an international laughing stock. How Hollande can even attempt to govern, or run for office again after this shameful display of being an out of touch elitist, behaving like an adolescent, with absolutely no realization that as head of state, eyes are always on him.\nThe soap opera of Dallas-sûr-Seine is but one result of the infantilization of men who refuse to grow up and accept responsibility for their actions, for their families, and the women who enable them. DSK was another. More important than these individual scandals is the damage inflicted on a society ruled by a bourgeois élite of soixante huitards that debases women, and does not value marriage and the family as the fundamental building blocks of a viable society.\nA never married heterosexual man of sixty years of age is a Rara Avis, and just odd. BoBo elites, who have the means and the power to live a self indulgent, narcissistic, amoral life. Many, like Hollande, and his ilk, have never done a lick of real work in their lives."}

{"text": "Mistra Innovation* has awarded HTC’s project Via Futura a grant of SEK 4 million with the aim of describing the environmental and financial effects of using HTC’s grinding technology on asphalt roadways. An earlier pilot project showed that grinding reduces both noise and rolling resistance to a considerable extent. Uneven road surfaces generate negative effects in the form of noise both inside and outside the vehicle, as well as by increasing the rolling resistance of the wheels, which in turn leads to increased fuel consumption. Another undesirable effect of worn road surfaces is the increase in respirable particles. A pilot project on one of Sweden’s most heavily. HTC has been developing this technology for many years and we hope this project will confirm what we believe: our method increases travel comfort as well as saving both the environment and the taxes spent on repairing the infrastructure – our roads, in this instance,” says Per Sandström, Business Area Manager at HTC. HTC estimates that the grinding method could lengthen the service life of the road surface by approx. 20–50%, which would be a major cost saving. Grinding is a relatively fast process and it can be done either across the entire roadway or just along parts of it. Determining which of these is the optimum procedure will also be studied in the project. The project is called Via Futura, and HTC is running it together with VTI, Linköping University, the Swedish Transport Administration, Svevia and Projektengagemang in Stockholm. The project is expected to be completed in December 2015. * About Mistra Innovation Mistra Innovation encourages small and medium-sized businesses to dare to invest in innovative ideas with high risk, considerable potential and strong environmental content.

{"text": "Health chiefs attacked over 'nanny state' alcohol guide\nChief Medical Officer accused of “scaremongering” in advice about light and moderate consumption\nModerate drinking is no more dangerous than driving, health chiefs have admitted – as they came under fire over “nanny state” guidance which says one glass of wine raises the risk of cancer.\nNew advice from the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) slashes recommended drinking limits for men in line with those for women, and says that there is no safe level of alcohol at all.\nThe official guidance says that if people do drink, the maximum amount they should consume is 14 units a week – a sharp reduction from the 21 unit previously set for men.\nIn recent years, there has been growing evidence linking alcohol consumption with cancer.\nBut this is the first time official guidance has suggested that even an occasional sherry or weekly pint could raise the risk of disease.\nIt comes despite admissions in the report that the risks of drinking in line with recommended limits are comparable to those from “regular or routine activities, such as driving”.\nThe new guidance says evidence that alcohol, such as red wine, is beneficial for health \"is considered less strong than it was\".\nOn Thursday night, officials were accused of “nanny state” tactics and “scaremongering” the public – and for detailing advice which some might consider common-sense, such as not to take to drink before going up ladders.\nThe guidance sets out scientific evidence about the links between alcohol and cancer, the risks of which sharply increase with heavy drinking.\nBut health officials were accused of going too far in their advice about light and moderate consumption.\nLinks between breast cancer and alcohol are long established. The research published with the advice shows that drinking within the guidelines carries an increased risk of disease, raising lifetime risk to 12.64 per cent, compared with 10.90 per cent for teetotallers.\nFor men the dangers of drinking at these levels are far less clear.\nThe report warns of increased risk for several types of disease – but they are among some of the least common cancers, such as that of the oesophagus and lip.\nThe advice from Prof Dame Sally Davies is the first new guidance on alcohol for 20 years.\nShe.\"\nCurrent guidance sets out recommended daily limits for alcohol.\nBut the new advice suggests people should have several booze-free days a week – though consumers are warned not to \"save up\" their units for a binge-drinking session.\nThose who do drink up to the recommended limits should spread their drinking across at least three days, the guidance says.\nConsumers are advised to limit the total amount of alcohol they drink on any occasion.\nStudies have repeatedly suggested that drinking red wine in moderation can protect the heart. But the new report says that this only applies to women aged 55 and over - and only if they limit it to small quantities.\nThe guidance also says pregnant women should avoid alcohol altogether as there is no evidence for a \"safe\" drinking level in pregnancy.\nCritics questioned why the advice to the general public went so far.\nChristopher Snowdon, Head of Lifestyle Economics at the Institute of Economic Affairs,.\"\nProf Sir David Spiegelhalter, Winton Professor of the Public Understanding of Risk, University of Cambridge, said some might consider the pleasures of moderate drinking outweighed the risks being highlighted.\n“These guidelines define ‘low-risk’ drinking as giving you less than a 1 per cent chance of dying from an alcohol-related condition,” he said. “An hour of TV watching a day, or a bacon sandwich a couple of times a week, is more dangerous to your long-term health.”\nProf Matt Field, Professor of Addiction, University of Liverpool, said the advice would help people to make an informed choice.\n,” he said.\nAsked whether Prime Minister David Cameron.\"\nProf Peter Anderson, Professor of Substance Use, Policy and Practice, Newcastle University, said the 14 unit limit might seem low to many, but reflected scientific evidence. However, he said the advice from the CMO was “long, vague and hard to understand.”\nProfessor Jane Dacre, president of the Royal College of Physicians, welcomed the recommendations, especially on having several alcohol-free days, while avoiding binge-drinking.\nShe said: “We as a nation need to move to a healthier approach to alcohol to reduce risks to health and life, and also reduce the massive burden on the NHS as a result of alcohol consumption.”"}
{"text": "Summary form only given. This paper describes a new method for classification and presentation of voltage sag and short interruption performance information for individual sites and entire systems. The method expands on traditional methods by including information about the individual phase voltages during the disturbance, rather than just a single magnitude and duration. This improved method provides better information for correlation with equipment impacts associated with the voltage sags and short interruptions. The method is validated with sag and interruption data measured/recorded in actual power systems and with results of simulations on an example system."}

{"text": "How C S Sudheer started IndianMoney that is raking in INR 60 lakhs/month\nC S Sudheer was working as the Karnataka Head of a multinational broker firm which was involved in risk management and retail insurance businesses. It was early 2008 and an incident happened which paved the way for IndianMoney. Sudheer was conversing with an auto driver who told him that a sales person from his organization had sold him an insurance policy with a promise that he would get INR 1 lakh after three years if he paid INR 25,000 once. On checking the driver’s documents, Sudheer realized that the auto driver was tricked into buying a regular premium unit-linked insurance plan in which he had to pay INR 25,000 for three years.\nThat incident changed the way Sudheer looked at the insurance industry. He realized that a large section of educated Indians were still financially illiterate, leaving them vulnerable to unethical sales practices of agents. “That is how the idea of IndianMoney.com took shape. The intention was to spread financial literacy and to provide genuine and unbiased financial education to anyone who needs it,” says Sudheer.\nSudheer brought on board Rahul Singh, who is a B.Tech from IIT Roorkee and MBA from Kelly School of Business, Indiana University, to setup the company. It was launched in 2008 with an initial investment of INR 20 lakhs which came from Sudheer’s savings. IndianMoney also got Angel investment from Ravindra Krishnappa (founder of Erasmic Venture Fund) and Shekhar Kirani (partner at Accel Partners) in May 2011.\nIndianMoney has multiple modes of operation. “We provide the Unique Service of Free Financial Education over the phone to anyone who needs it. All one needs to do is to give a missed call to our helpline number at 022-6181-6111 or fill up the online form on our website requesting for financial assistance,” says Sudheer. Their team of wealth doctors call back and provides financial education/assistance. They also provide free Financial Validation Services, where anyone who is about to finalize an investment and needs an expert second opinion can leave a missed call to their helpline number. “We can complete the circle by connecting the interested consumer to our registered associates. We do so only when the consumer expresses interest in checking out financial products that might satisfy his/her needs,” says Sudheer.\nThe revenue model is mainly dependent on generating leads for their associates. The consumer is not charged for the education, IndianMoney gets a ‘referral fee’ for every lead transferred. “We do not charge a ‘success fee’ and therefore remain unbiased in the whole process regardless of a sale happening or not,” says Sudheer. In terms of growth, the monthly revenue in 2011 was Rs. 2 lakhs, and now IndianMoney.com generates about Rs. 60 lakhs a month. The company also closed their first round of institutional investment in September 2013 from Hyderabad Angels.\nIndianMoney is headquartered in Bangalore but has a pan India presence with their registered associates spread across the country. Currently, the team strength stands at 86 employees. Talking of the learning over the years, Sudheer mentions three key points:\n1. I realized that my consumers are not my customers\n2. Just being passionate about what we are doing will not make the business successful. One must have a strong Business Strategy\n3. While building the business, an entrepreneur should not become the engine. He/she should create an independent engine\nIndianMoney is now strengthening their fundamentals to build the capacity to provide financial education/advice to 10 lakh unique consumers a year (by FY 16-17).\nWebsite: IndianMoney"}

{"text": "Sarah Weddle, 27, of Mount Airy had just begun to wrap herself in a blanket after completing the Boston Marathon Monday when two bombs ripped through Bolyston Street near the finish line she had crossed minutes before.\n“It was just like the sound you hear in a movie, it was this deep boom,” she said. “There was so much smoke. I just knew in my gut that this was bad.”\nThe bombs were detonated at about 2:50 p.m. near the finish line of the 26.2-mile race, killing at least three people and injuring more than 170 others, at least nine of whom were children, according to The Washington Post.\nThousands of runners were still on the course when the explosions, which were about 16 seconds apart, occurred four hours into the race and two hours after the winners had crossed the finish line.\nEven though the FBI, which took charge of the investigation, served a search warrant late Monday on an apartment in the suburb of Revere, Mass., no arrests had been made as of Wednesday, according to reports.\nWeddle, who finished the course about nine minutes before the first explosion, was running as part of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team. The group of about 550 runners from around the world was running in the 117th Boston Marathon to raise $4.6 million for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, one of the world’s premier cancer centers.\nA first-timer to the historic marathon, Weddle, whose story was recounted in The Gazette last week, was running in memory of her brother-in-law’s two brothers, Matthew and Michael Pepin, both of whom were treated by the Dana-Farber medical team before they died.\nHer brother-in-law John Pepin, 31, of Sykesville lost both of his brothers from a form of non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Matthew, 5, died in 1980, while Michael, 39, passed away in 2011.\nCheering her on were Weddle’s parents, three of her best friends, her sister and brother-in-law as she crossed the finish line. It took her more than an hour to find them after the explosions.\n“I was pretty panicked. They had been cheering for me, and they had been very close to where the bombs went off, and I didn’t know if they lingered there,” she said. “I really didn’t know what to do.”\nIt wasn’t until Weddle met two strangers who allowed her to use their cellphone that she was able to reach her family, all of whom were unharmed, and let them know where she was.\n“It was very emotional,” she said of the reunion. “I cried.”\nAt least 18 people from Frederick County ran in the marathon, according to the Boston Marathon’s website. About 10 of them were members of the Frederick Steeplechasers Running Club.\nThere have been no reports of any county residents being among the casualties.\nPamela Geernaert, president of the club, said she was on the phone with her husband a quarter mile from the finish line when she heard the first explosion.\n“It was just the loudest boom I’ve ever heard and a big gray puff of smoke,” she said. “I said to my husband, ‘A bomb just went off at the finish line.’ He didn’t believe me.”\nGeernaert, along with a few of the club members, had finished the race about 15 minutes before the bombs were detonated and were retrieving their clothes from a charter bus.\n“It was really scary,” she said.\nEarlier in the day, the group had agreed to meet at a bar in town after the race. Soon after the explosions, most of the Steeplechasers had walked through the bar doors or texted other members letting them know that they were unharmed, except Harriet Langlois and Lou King, Geernaert said.\n“I started to panic because when the bombs went off that was when Harriet and Lou would be finishing,” she said. “About 15 minutes after that they walked into the bar, and I just grabbed [Harriet] and sobbed.”\nIt was Geernaert’s fourth time running in the Boston Marathon.\n“I thought about not coming this year,” she said. “And as I was running — before the explosion — I kept telling myself this is my last Boston. I’m not doing this race again.”\nLike Geernaert, Weddle said that she won’t be running again in the Boston Marathon.\nHowever, she said she is still planning to compete in the Frederick Half Marathon at the Frederick Running Festival, scheduled for the weekend of May 4.\n“I’m excited about it,” she said.\nLike many of the marathon runners, Weddle said she was interviewed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security before she boarded a plane to Philadelphia on Tuesday.\n“They just asked me what I saw, heard, and smelled,” she said.\nIn the wake of the bombing, runners at the Frederick Half Marathon will see additional police and private security along the route, particularly at the start and finish lines near the Frederick Fairgrounds, said Lee Corrigan, the president of Corrigan Sports Enterprises, which is organizing the festival.\nCorrigan said he’s been to Boston for the marathon several times, but has never competed in the race. He said his heart goes out to those who were injured.\nHe said the Boston event organizers must have been shell-shocked by the incident.\n“We work so hard all year long to put these events on,” and it is always hard to take when something goes wrong, he said.\nMeanwhile, as of Tuesday afternoon, security procedures at Fort Detrick in Frederick hadn’t been changed in response to the Boston attacks, spokeswoman Lanessa Hill said in an email.\nBut MARC train riders could expect to see an increase in police presence throughout the system, including at the Frederick and Brunswick train stations, according to Terry Owens, spokesman for the Maryland Transit Administration.\n“While no specific threat exists which directly, or indirectly target MTA facilities, MTA police and personnel are exercising heightened vigilance,” he said Tuesday in an email.\nCity Mayor Randy McClement (R) released a statement Tuesday offering thoughts and prayers to all those affected by the attacks on behalf of the Frederick Board of Aldermen and city residents.\n“As you navigate through the unimaginable, we come together as one in this great nation and extend our support to our fellow citizens and colleagues in the city of Boston,” the statement said.\nFrederick County Commissioners President Blaine R. Young also released a statement Tuesday on behalf of the county extending condolences to victims of the blast and urging county residents to be on the lookout for suspicious activity.\n“As have our neighbors in counties surrounding our nation’s capital, here in Frederick County we are asking our employees and citizens to be vigilant and careful in the aftermath of this tragedy,” the statement said.\nFrederick County Commissioner David Gray (R) was in Boston Monday with his family to watch his niece’s husband run in the marathon.\nHe spent Monday in Newton, about 10 miles outside of Boston, but said that when he and his family went downtown Tuesday to attend a circus, everything seemed to be running smoothly.\nThere were a number of police officers on the streets, and areas around the blast scene were blocked off, but people seemed to be going about their daily routines, he said.\n“It didn’t seem oppressive at all,” Gray said.\nPeople need to follow their gut instinct in deciding if something is suspicious and should be reported to police, Maryland State Police spokesman Greg Shipley said.\n“People often know when something just isn’t right,” he said.\nWhether it’s a strange vehicle parked somewhere, a package sitting where it doesn’t seem to belong, or someone taking pictures of areas that aren’t usually photographed, police get calls for a wide variety of topics, Shipley said.\nFrederick County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Sgt. Jennifer Bailey also urged residents to report suspicious activity and behavior, “even if it’s something small.”\nAlthough often the reports turn out to be nothing, at other times a small piece of information might fit with other pieces to help develop a case, Shipley said.\nHe said people shouldn’t disregard a feeling that something is odd or out of place.\nThe Maryland Coordination and Analysis Center in Baltimore County is a 24-hour facility of local, state and federal investigators that can quickly analyze incoming information and forward it to the appropriate law enforcement agency to be further looked into.\n“This is what they’re waiting for,” Shipley said. “They’re waiting for you to make that call.”\nmyoung@gazette.net\nrmarshall@gazette.net"}

{"text": "Summertime has arrived (even if the calendar says it starts June 20) and with the warmer temperatures comes time off and vacation plans for many of us. It can also be an active time for small business owners, and summer activity can lead to different marketing approaches.\nHere are a few ideas for summertime planning and promotions for small businesses.\nGet active\nCommunity events can be a great way to increase exposure and get to know potential customers. In a story for the Small Business Administration, Rieva Lesonsky writes that small business owners should look for opportunities at street fairs, festivals, fun runs and outdoor concerts.\n“Contact your chamber of commerce and your city’s parks and recreation department to find out what events are planned for the upcoming few months,” she advises. “Decide which events are likely to attract your target customers, whether that’s health-minded seniors, parents with toddlers in tow or millennial music fans.”\nHow to get involved? Lesonsky offers these ways to participate:\n- “Sponsor the event in return for your name on flyers, programs or banners at the event.”\n- “Host a booth at the event and give out free samples or sell your product. (Be sure to collect contact information with a signup sheet or fishbowl to collect business cards).”\n- “Donate product to the event (a health food store could donate healthy snacks for refreshments at a fun run, for example).”\nReach out to current clients\nThe holiday season is often the time that businesses reach out to dedicated clients to thank them for their business. But summertime can bring opportunities to show this kind of appreciation. A story by QuickBooks details some ways to do it, including golf outings, taking clients to a baseball game, or putting on wider-ranging events.\n“To show appreciation for a large group of customers, host a barbecue,” the story states. “Or share your expertise by holding a free class. For instance, if you run an arts and crafts store, hold a workshop to show families creative craft ideas for kids during the summer. Your gestures will demonstrate that you’re thinking of customers this summer — and will be there for them when the season ends, too.”\nThemed promotions\nThere seems to be a fun “national day” of something several times a week, like the recent National Doughnut Day, which earned a lot of buzz on social media. As Rohit Arora writes for Inc.com, these days, along with holidays and the warmer weather, can be a way to create promotional opportunities.\n“The Fourth of July presents a wide range of opportunities, including American-themed promotions,” Arora says. ).”\nCollaborate with business neighbors\nWhen the weather is pleasant, it could be smart for nearby businesses to work together to present an outdoor event. Lesonsky writes that areas “with lots of foot traffic” can be a prime location for this kind of activity. She suggests having a sidewalk sale, in which the participating businesses offer special deals outside of the store. Other ideas from Lesonsky include:\n- “Hosting a ‘stroll and savor’ event where local eateries sell small samples of their menu items outside on the sidewalk.”\n- “Hosting a music night where local musicians play inside restaurants or shops and ‘bus.”\nUse promotional items and giveaways\nThere’s no doubt that people naturally love free stuff. Though promotional items may not seem terribly significant, they can turn into walking billboards of sorts with such items as koozies and T-shirts. In a story for grasshopper.com, Michelle Nickolaisen recommends summer-related swag, like flip-flops or sunglasses. And she calls product giveaways “a tried and true marketing technique.”\n“Even if your product doesn’t necessarily make sense to give away in the summer, you can still capitalize on a giveaway with a little creativity,” she writes. “Take advantage of the fact that your potential customers and clients are vacationing by giving away leisure items like books or, if you want to get fancy, a Kindle or iPad, that people will use on their vacation.”\nExamine marketing materials\nSeasonal items and swag can gain attention, but don’t leave out the traditional methods of spreading the word about a business. Rhonda Abrams writes for USA Today that summertime can be a good time to “freshen up and modernize” marketing items. Business cards are a good start.\n“When was the last time you took a hard look at your business cards?” she writes. “Brochures? Do you still have a fax number but not your social media handles printed on your material? You can get a new look at reasonable prices from a few online print companies, such as Vistaprint, PsPrint, Moo.”\nFocus on social media\nFor many people, vacations aren’t complete until photos and stories are shared on social media. This can present creative opportunities for businesses, according to Claire Prendergast in a story for Entrepreneur. Consider interacting with customers who share “tidbits about adventure travel” on Facebook, YouTube and other social networks, she says.\n“Think about hosting a social media contest, inviting customers to share exciting stories or intriguing photographs around a summer theme, and offer a grand prize to the best entry,” she writes. “You’ll get people talking about your business in the process, while also collecting contact information from contest participants. Be sure to identify prospective customers who you can reach out to at a later time.”\nLook ahead to the fall\nThe fall brings different marketing opportunities, including back-to-school, the end of vacation season, the return of football and cooler temperatures. Abrams advises carving out some time in the summer to plot out ways to get ready.\n“Summer won’t last forever, and you want to be ready to land some big customers as soon as people are back at their desks,” she says. “The summer months are a great time to do some strategic planning. Clarify and narrow your target market and figure out the best ways to reach prospects. Come up with a marketing budget and marketing vehicles so you’re ready to go.”"}

{"text": "The mailman brought me a lovely, lovely package today. It’s so fun getting things in the mail that are neither bills nor catalogues nor other advertisements. A few weeks ago I posted the recipe for the cornbread I made the previous night, and mentioned how Joe steadfastly refused to eat it because–gasp!–it was Southern style cornbread, grainy and not sweet. Crescent Dragonwagon e-mailed me not only with an offer to review her cornbread cookbook, but also provided a pithy quotation from Chaucer! (No, not about cornbread, but gingerbread, and I’ll get to that in just a sec.)\nThe Cornbread Gospels is a dream of a cookbook. It is beautifully laid out and organized, and has plenty to satisfy the cook, the reader, the historian, and anyone else who should be so fortunate as to lay hands on a copy. In the introduction, Dragonwagon tells us some of the experiences she had in the almost six years it took her to complete this book. The first chapter, entitled “Southern Cornbreads: Soul in a Skillet,” gets to the heart of the debate between Yankees and Southerners as to what constitutes a proper cornbread. She doesn’t take sides though, which is probably wise.\nThere are recipes for any kind of cornbread you can imagine, and you’re virtually guaranteed to drool while you read through them. A sampling of the recipes: Truman Capote’s Family’s Cornbread; Land of Milk and Honey Custard-Layered Cornbread; Seriously Spicy Main Dish Cornbread; Bobota (Greek Cornbread, with orange juice, currants, and orange-honey syrup); High Desert Blue Corn Muffins with Sage and Toasted Pine Nuts; Herb-Scented Corn Whole Wheat Bread; Dixie Spoonbread; George Washington’s Favorite Corn Cakes; Indonesian-Style Corn and Eggplant Fritters; Golden Gazpacho; Old South Style Greens (to eat with your delectable cornbread); and Very Lemony Cornmeal Pound Cake.\nAlong the way, you’ll find quotations and snippets of verses about cornbread; you’ll learn the difference between a jonnycake and a johnnycake; and you’ll learn how to make your own corn tortillas. Wondering what to serve with your cornbread? The book is sprinkled with suggested menus. There’s a recipe for any palate here, as well as a feast for the mind.\nThe Cornbread Gospels, Crescent Dragonwagon, illustrations by Andrea Wisnewski. Workman Publishing, New York. ISBN 9-780761-119166. $14.95. Find it here. Visit the author’s website here.\nOh–and are you still wondering about the Chaucer quotation? Chaucer writes, “they sette him roial spicery and gyngebreed.” And Dragonwagon does, in fact, include a recipe for Dark, Extra-Gingery Gingerbread, with Darra’s Hot Citrus Sauce. I think Chaucer would approve.\nI’ll be over for the cornbread sampling soon. Be sure to have a nice variety. You are the best sister ever!\nI’ll bring the diet dr. pepper…\n(So is the difference between a jonnycake and johnnycake just a “h” or is it one of them a yankee version?)"}

{"text": "Checklist for buying a house for the first time\nThe process of buying a house can be stressful and exciting simultaneously. The investment in a home is a huge commitment and predicting the real estate market can be extremely difficult. Finding the right home will take a detailed list if you want to pick a home that truly fits most of your requirements. The importance of making an informed purchase cannot be stressed enough as a home is the largest investment that many people make during their lifetime.\nThere is a myriad of factors that will be considered especially for those that are looking to grow their family. If a couple has all of the children that they want they can invest in a home that allows for everyone to have privacy. A couple that is looking towards retirement might find that a condo is the best option for them as there will be minimal maintenance. Creating a checklist that is written out can allow for a decision to be made on personal opinion and features that are desired.\nFind A Real Estate Agent You Trust\nThe decision on which real estate agent you are going to pick can be important. A personal friend is going to negotiate harder for you than a person that simply wants the sale of the home to be completed. Personal referrals are often the best but take the time to see what others have to say about an agent online. Most clients are not going to be hesitant to say something negative if their experience was lacking with a certain real estate professional.\nBudget\nThe budget is going to play a huge role in what home that you are buying. There are families that might want to save more money and downsize or those that want a huge upgrade. The area you decide to live in will be important as areas with the best school districts tend to be far more expensive than those with struggling schools. The features that you pick in your home will depend on your budget as a 6 bedroom home in the hub of a city simply is not going to be an option for most budgets.\nHomeowners insurance needs to be considered as many mortgage companies will try to find the best deal in order to keep your monthly payment low. Finding homeowners insurance designed for 2021 will take research but there are plenty of great options available. Areas that flood can lead to higher insurance costs and you might have to carry flood insurance which can be immensely expensive monthly.\nEstimated Utility Costs\nFor those people that might live in a colder climate the insulation of the home needs to be considered. Taking a look at previous utility bills is important as a huge electric bill monthly can lead to falling behind on mortgage payments. A home that has a pool will have to consider the water that is used as well as electric as pool pumps can cost a family around $100 a month. Larger pools will cost more and in many climates a pool without a heater is useless for a majority of the year.\nTake the time to enjoy looking at various homes and it is imperative that you do not settle. There is a chance that you might want to hold off on buying a home as there simply are not homes that fit your tastes. Budget can be a huge issue as well and waiting a few more years will allow you to put a larger amount of money down on the home. Paying over 20 percent will allow you to save money monthly on mortgage insurance."}
{"text": "The Sakura Wars franchise is a franchise that has been around for a very long time in Japan. While it failed to gain any real traction overseas, the west having only received the fifth (and at the time, final) mainline title, the series ranks right up there with Sega’s other iconic IPs in its home region. After nearly fifteen years, Sega has decided to revive the Sakura Wars franchise in a big way, with a worldwide release of its newest mainline entry, simply titled Sakura Wars. Not only does this new Sakura Wars serve as a thoughtful love letter to fans of the original, but it works as the perfect jumping-on point for those of us being exposed to this storied Sega IP for the first time.\nAs with earlier titles in the series, Sakura Wars is a dating simulator mixed with action RPG gameplay. Despite taking place only ten years after the last game, Sakura Wars: So Long, My love, this new entry acts as a soft reboot. Taking place in a fictionalized version of 1940s Japan, players are put in control of Seijuro Kamiyama, an Imperial Japanese Navy ensign. Seijuro is assigned to be the new captain of the Imperial Combat Revue’s Flower Division, a military division tasked with defending the city of Tokyo from demon attacks. In addition to fighting to defend the people however, the Flower Division also works to keep the public’s morale high through live theatre. As the story unfolds, players will need to navigate their way through relationships with the all-female team while engaging in mech battles against invading demons.\nOver the course of several episodes, players will get to connect with each member of the team as they prepare to restore the Flower Division to its former glory by taking part in the Combat Revue World Games, a tournament between combat teams from around the world. Although there are a few twists, Sakura Wars’ plot is mostly predictable. Thankfully, the game’s story instead focuses on its strongest aspect, its characters. It wasn’t long at all before I found myself attached to everyone included in the main cast thanks to each of them getting a significant amount of time in the spotlight. If I had any complaints about Sakura Wars’ story, it would be that it could have benefited from being a bit longer. In addition to the five members of the Flower Division, the supporting cast is made up of three other teams among others. Of these, only a handful of characters get the time needed for their relationships with the core cast to feel properly developed. I enjoyed all of these characters, but I would’ve liked to have gotten to know them better before the game was over.\nTo say that Sakura Wars feels like a playable anime feels like a major understatement. Playing a big part of that is the combined effort of numerous big names in the anime industry. The game’s characters were designed by multiple artists, Tite Kubo, creator of the Bleach series, and Shigenori Soejima of Persona fame, among them. Following suit, Sakura Wars’ soundtrack features the work of Kohei Tanaka, the composer of the One Piece anime along with a number of famous voice actors. While nearly all of the game has voice acting, it should be noted that there is no English dub option available. There’s more than just the talent involved working to bring out Sakura Wars’ anime aesthetic though. Several cutscenes are presented in beautifully rendered CG cutscenes that often had me questioning whether I was looking at traditional 2D animation or not. There were also little details such as eye-catch intermissions during the game’s episodes and previews of what was coming next which really makes it feel that you are watching a full-length show. It should also be noted that while there isn’t much, Sakura Wars does feature bits of fan service. While this may be a negative for some, players are able to completely avoid these types of scenes.\nSakura Wars’ gameplay can be seen as a true evolution of its predecessors. Where the past games used the standard visual novel format for most character interactions, Sakura Wars displays just about everything with in-game graphics. Pairing this new visual style with Sakura Wars’ classic “Live & Interaction Picture System” (also known as LIPS) timed instances where players can make dialogue choices during key story scenes and character interactions, gameplay story scenes play out smoother than ever. The LIPS system does not always limit itself to spoken words either. At certain points, the game would take on a first-person perspective, allowing for things like searching the environment and occasional intimate interactions with the different girls. This combination not only feels like a step up for this revived franchise but for the dating sim genre entirely by giving players a much more interactive role than simply reading. One issue I ran into was dialogue choices reading differently than how they were delivered. Thankfully, this only happened to me a couple of times and it never had a major effect on my in-game relationships, but it was a bit frustrating when something that seemed like a playful joke would come out sounding far more mean spirited than I wanted it to.\nThough the dating sim aspect makes up most of its gameplay, Sakura Wars also features mecha combat. At different points during each episode, players will control Seijuro and a partner as they pilot their giant robot, fighting through stages full of demons, usually with a boss at the end. This mode controls well enough, but it’s far from being a highlight of Sakura Wars and a big part of that comes down to it being far too easy. The game uses standard hack and slash mechanics, allowing players to create combos made up of light and heavy attacks. Dodging enemy attacks at the last second causes time to slow down and gives players the potential opportunity to perform instant kill techniques. With next to no cooldown on dodging however, this technique is easily exploitable and turns every battle into a cakewalk. On top of that, performing well in battle increases a morale gauge which levels up to ten, increasing your attack and defense with every level. With how many ways there are to raise this gauge, it’s almost hard to not feel overpowered by the end of each stage. I would’ve appreciated seeing the bonds that I created during the dating sim portion of the game have more of an effect during these action stages. With how capable Seijuro’s machine was, I could hardly even find a reason to switch characters during gameplay. I did appreciate the change of pace every now and then, but Sakura Wars could’ve truly benefitted from having more depth in these sections.\nDespite its shortcomings, Sakura Wars has a ton to offer. It didn’t take long before I was fully invested in the lives of these characters and by the time I’d finished the game’s story, I was already wanting another adventure with the team. Sega seems to have faith in their reboot, having already launched an anime series that acts as a sequel to the game’s story. I have high hopes that this game will help to restore the Sakura Wars brand while introducing it to a brand-new audience."}

{"text": "Finding and Forcing Run-Ons\nLesson 8 of 9\nObjective: SWBAT notice author's use of FANBOYS sentences in their own reading, as well as correcting run-on sentences in their memoir drafts.\nBig Idea: As we begin to notice professional author's using FANBOYS conjunctions, we notice these in our own writing, and this further develops our understanding of grammar.Print Lesson\nToday's lesson comes from Jeff Anderson. It is directly connected to the previous day's lesson. Today, students focus on finding sentences in their independent reading where an author has utilized a comma and a FANBOYS, which combine two complete sentences. I start by telling the students that once you start searching for the FANBOYS, they will see them everywhere! Authors love commas and FANBOYS. This in itself is what Jeff Anderson calls, the invitation to notice.\nAs we start off with independent reading today, I'll ask the kids to find a sentence that utilizes a comma and FANBOYS. Most kids find them right away. Others may need a little assistance. I'll have an example sentence on hand, just in case there aren't any in their independent texts. However, this hardly ever happens!\nHere is one that a student found from the story \"Liar & Spy,\" written by Rebecca Stead:\n\"They can't hurt it because of the wire cage, but Ms. Warner still feels duty-bound to stop them,\" (6).\nOn the entrance ticket, the kids are asked to then force this complete sentence into a run-on sentence by taking out the comma and FANBOYS. They'll be left with this:\nThey can't hurt it because of the wire cage Ms. Warner still feels duty-bound to stop them.\nThe nice thing about these examples is that students often have sentences like this in their writing. Sentences that are connected without proper linkage. Then the students will be asked to fix this in a new way. Here is this student's solution:\nThey can't hurt it because of the wire cage. Ms. Warner still feels duty-bound to stop them.\nThis student decided to fix their new found run-on by splitting the sentence into two separate sentences.\nResources (2)\nAt this point, they're ready to look for run-on sentences in their memoirs. I have them search on hard copy drafts instead of the computer. I think it is easier to spot them on paper. Then they correct them. I ask right away if anyone is finding any. A few kids raise their hands. We use these examples to help the whole class by placing them under the document camera.\nSome students need more explicit help finding run-on sentences. One thing I've noticed, many students have FANBOYS that they've used in their drafts without commas even though they link two complete thoughts. Many students notice this on their own; that is a fabulous start! Some kids notice FANBOYS without commas that don't like two complete thoughts or sentences. This is an important distinction to make right away. Students don't need commas with their FANBOYS unless they are connecting two complete sentences.\nCirculate around the room and check drafts. I used two or three kids memoirs as examples of ways to correct run-ons.\nThe nice part about this activity is that for the kids who don't use run-on sentences, they can take this time to create more complex sentences using semicolons or commas with a FANBOYS.\nResources (1)\nFor the remainder of the day, students can add the changes they have made in their drafts on the laptops.\nWhen students make changes to their drafts, they are asked to highlight the changes in word, which gives me an insight into their writing process grade. They are asked to fix all of the run-ons. Many will need help identifying run-on sentences.\nThis lesson is differentiated by the fact that students should either be fixing run-ons or creating two or more complex sentences by using semicolons and commas with a FANBOYS.\nThroughout this process, I am circulating to make sure all kids are actively engaged. I put a list on the board with other ideas or ways that kids can correct their drafts if they run out of sentence fixes."}

{"text": "Pastor’s Poll — Which Denomination? March 11, 2014 Barry L. Davis Pastor's Poll 17 comments denomination\nThe chief reason that I have chosen Methodis is the doctrine of grace. From conception to all of our journey to Christ God is involved in wooing us to an intimate, dynamic, relationship with God. This prevenient grace leads us to the justifying grace of God who accepts us as forgiven through the death, biriel, and resurrection of Christ. Then, Jesus leaves us through His ascension, but promises the Holy Spirit would be sent to lead and equip us for the Christ life. Sanctifying grace, is that unfolding of what is available in the spirit-filled, directed life of the believer. There is a constant flow from the Holy Spirit available to us…happy growing\nI have been raised as a Methodist. John Wesley is so right. However, we worship in a non-denominational church because of their outreach. The Methodist church is becoming so liberal and inward seeking and non outreaching, so concerned about their own governance, just not how I feel God would want us to worship. I worship a risen Lord who does not have a name except Christ.\nThough we are Anglicans, our church does not those liberal and non-reformed churches who call themselves Anglican today. We adhere strictly to the doctrines of the English Reformers as set forth in the Thirty Nine Articles of Religion and use the same Canon of Scripture (as commonly received) that the reformers used – the Received Text. We use no materials that rely on modern Bible translations and alterations.\nI was brought up in a Pentecostal church now attend Presbyterian church of wales would rather count myself as Christian rather than by the name of a denomination.I think that denominations are man made & I often wonder what God thinks of all the different Christian denominations we have.\nI’m Pentecostal because the message and Holy Ghost is real and does work and for today plus it makes thebible more. Alive in are lives\nIt is nice to have all theses denominations just so you have more control over the different ways people understand God, but if they just follow ancient ways that Jesus taught us, we will be all in houses of worship adoring just that one God…It will be so nice to have all in one place like a big convention, Praising the only true God Jesus Christ…Put all the religion on the side and quess what, we have a Holy Ghost explosion…..\nI am a Presbyterian since I became a Christian in 1987.the church has natured me well\nNow I am a pastor since then i have seen God work in my life.\nChurch Denominations\nWhich one do you belong to?\nDenominations are not of God!\nBy Neil Schoch\nThe longing heart of Christ\nJohn 17:11:- “— keep through Your name those whom You have given me, that they may be one as We are one.” This is speaking of the disciples that the Lord had at the time of His impassioned prayer. quite conclusively proves that the loving heart of the blessed Saviour, who loved us and gave Himself for us on Calvary’s Cross, desired the same unity between believers of all ages, as eternally existed in the Godhead. Not the slightest hint of discord, schism or disunity ever existed between the Father and the Son. They were one not only in “purpose” but their very intrinsic nature was complete oneness.\nNote the divine purpose behind this:- “that the world may believe that You sent Me.”\nThe rampant disunity and the division of Christ’s Church into often warring denominations has been a huge stumbling block in endeavors to win the lost to Christ. Many times I have witnessed to people who refer to this disunity and ask, ‘why would I want to join one of those divided churches when they can’t even get along with each other, even killing each other because of their different beliefs?’\nA classical, although extreme, example was the war between Catholics and Protestants in Ireland. “Where is the love” was the often asked question.\nThe well known Christian Hymn, speaking about the Church, puts it this way:- “Though with a scornful wonder, Men see her sore oppressed, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distressed —.”\nThe longing heart of the Lord Jesus Christ was that the same unity and oneness should exist between all Christians, as there was between the Father and the Son.\nShould I then decide to become a member of a “Baptist” church, then I am declaring that I am not a member of the “Church of England,” which would go directly against the wishes of the Lord, and in effect would be disobedience. The names are picked at random.\nThis I have never done – never will do – indeed I dare not do, because it goes against the direct desire of the One who loved me and died on the Cross that I might be forgiven my sinful state. It also goes directly against the clear truths of God’s Holy Word.\nEcumenical Movement\nThis movement will never bring about divine unity in the Church as it just glosses over divinely revealed doctrinal truths in the inspired Word of God. It may well be the forerunner of the world wide apostate church on earth after the “catching up” of the true Church.\nDisunity in the early Church\n1 Corinthians 1:10-13:- Please read.\nHere Paul addresses the problem of divisions or schisms in the local Church at Corinth. They needed to be “perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement,” but they had done what is so common today, they had become followers of a man rather than Christ. Paul – Peter – Apollos, great men amongst the Church but not its head, which can only be Christ Himself.\n“Is Christ divided?” This was the vital question that the local church needed to answer. Christ can never be divided – He is the same yesterday and today, but by the factions being set up in the church it would appear that way. The head of the Church must ever be Christ, and Him alone.\nIt is so sad to hear “pastors” repeatedly speak of “my church.” There is no scriptural basis for the appointment of “pastors” to lead or head up a church. If you can find one please let me know, as no one has yet succeeded.\nFollowing after a man/woman leader is causing great problems in the Church today even as it did at Corinth.\nRespect and obedience to those who lead by divine appointment (elders) in the Church is scriptural and very important. Sadly these leaders are often put up on a pedestal and respect can become “adulation” and adulation can become “idolatry,” which is sin. Sadly I have seen this happen a number of times.\nJohn the Baptist got it right when he declared, “I must decrease so that He (Christ) might increase,”\nAnother danger in a local Church is when a “family clique” is involved in a leadership role. Criticize one and you will feel the wrath of them all. In saying this I recognize and respect many local churches with a family heavily involved in leadership but recognizing Christ as the Head of the body, and giving Him all the glory.\nPlease also read Chapter three, particularly verses 1-9; 18 and 21—23.\nAlso read Chapter 11:17-19 speaking about “divisions – factions – sects” being evident in relation to the Lord’s Supper and Table.\n1 Corinthians 12:12-27:- Once again please take the time to read this in full.\nV 12:- “For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body –.”\nThis is speaking of the Church in its universal aspect. Many members but only one body, the body of Christ or the Church universal, which consists of every individual believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.\nIt is essential to note that all believers are baptized into one body, not many denominations. This baptism of the Spirit occurs immediately at the point of conversion.\nGod recognizes no man made division into denominations, that is carnal mans idea.\nV 25:- “That there should be no schism in the body.”\nEphesians 4:4-6:- “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”\nThere are seven “ones” here in this important passage of Scripture, so clearly there can be no thought of dividing the “one body” into many denominational bodies with different doctrinal teachings, many of which are demonstrably false.\nGod’s Church Membership Book\nLuke 10:20:- “Rejoice because your names are written in Heaven.” This is speaking of the Book of Life. Note that this is in the present tense and applies to every blood bought saint of God.\nPhilippians 4:3:- “My fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life. Again it speaks of all believers.\nRevelation 3:5:- “He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life.” As believers in Jesus Christ we are all to be overcomers. There is no thought here of any believer losing their salvation due to a lack of overcoming, important though it is, as that would be a salvation based on grace plus works.\nRevelation 13:8:- “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain.” This primarily refers to unbelieving Jews and Gentiles in the Tribulation period.\nRevelation 17:8:- As above.\nRevelation 21:27:- “But there shall by no means enter it (the New Jerusalem) anything that defiles or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lambs Book of Life.”\nRevelation 22: 19:- “And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life.” This is sometimes translated as “Tree of Life” but the former is said to be the best translation.\nHow very vital it is that those of us who teach on this subject must be very careful not to add to, or take away anything from this book. This is especially challenging when you consider the multitudes of teachings in relation to this subject. This principle is also found throughout the Bible.\nRevelation 20:11-15:- “— And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.\nThere is no other Church Membership Book mentioned in the Word of God but if you can find one please let me know.\nBy contrast the Scriptures quoted above should clearly convict all who practice denominational membership, that it is against the direct desire of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are instructed to “— walk worthily of the Lord, fully pleasing Him —.” Colossians 1:10. Can we be fully pleasing Him when we go against His express wishes for His Church? It is His Church, not ours. If I was to join a denomination, I believe it would be disobedience, which can only be called by its rightful name of “sin?”\nFully agree…good points.\nI’m an Anglican but of the charismatic evangelical persuasion 🙂\nI grew up predominantly of the Baptist denomination and proud of it.I do not like the religious nature of all the denominations. I am a Word man. Teaching the Bible as it is to people where they are.\nI’ve been a Congregationalist all my life, and have Pastored Congregational Churches for almost 35 years.\nHowevef, my training was in a Southern Baptist school\n(Gardner Webb)in North Carolina.\nI Identify withthe Baptists,and not the liberal\ncongregationalism. The Holy Spirit told me He wanted\nme to stay in the Congregational Churches, to be “salt\nand light” to them.\nBrothers and Sisters, let us pray for Revival for our\nChurches and America!\nBlessings,\nMike\nI have been a Baptist all my life, but I also go to other churches they are different with praise and worship.\nI was brought up in Islam but at the age of 27 I got born again and joined an Anglican Church though after a few years I joined Redeemed Gospel Church which is a pentecostal ministry.Right now I am a Pastor heading a Church,a teacher of the word and also operating as an Apostolic Pastor planting Churches in our country (Kenya).I enjoy grounding people in the word of God.\nAppreciate the way teachings are presented and how members relate to one another.\nI am full time Pentecostal.I grew up as a Catholic but I gave my life to the Lord in 2002\nI am a pentecostal pastor and i love the word of God,the power of the Holy Spirit moving while healing the sick,oppressed and giving us the illumination to know the truth that is written in the scriptures.\nI love the LORD JESUS who is the life giving Spirit who came to save the world."}

{"text": "I’ve known Kel Whelan for almost as long as I’ve been active on the internet. Based on his background I asked him to write a guest post for SSD on the Obama administration’s recent announcement regarding a change in policy on NFA Trust and Corporate Transfers for NFA items. It’s gotten a lot of folks’ hackles up and by extension made the small industry of producers of these items a bit nervous. So why Kel? That’s simple. He shares his point of view freely and is honest about what he sees. Additionally, I don’t personally know anyone who is closer to the issue. He is really into this whole situation. For example, he once led a class-action lawsuit attempting for the removal of the CLEO signoff and has dealt with NFA firearms and the corresponding laws exclusively throughout his career. And finally, I see him on the road quite a bit and he has this uncanny ability to know at least one good restaurant in each of the 50 states as well as some foreign countries. That alone can be critical.\nSo, with no further ado, here are Kel Whelan’s thoughts on last week’s announcement.\nFirst off: nothing yet. Because no law change has been enacted at this time.\nBut, this past Thursday morning, the Obama White House announced an executive action that they claim would close an alleged loophole that allows individuals to obtain items such as machineguns,.\nIf you’re not familiar with the process of buying, say, a short-barreled-rifle, and why someone would purchase them under the name of a corporation or trust instead of in their own name, a moment of history on the process. Ever since people have been legally buying and selling machineguns, silencers, and other NFA items in compliance with the transfer laws set in place since 1934, the process has traditionally been established and understood. To begin the transfer process, an individual pays the seller for the item, gets a Form 4 (the application to transfer the firearm from seller to buyer – think of it something akin to a car title change) from the seller, goes to the local Police Chief or Sheriff to get fingerprint cards done, staples passport photos to the form, pays a $200 transfer tax fee, and has a statement on the rear of the form signed by the Chief Law Enforcement Officer or “CLEO” with jurisdiction over the individual’s area of residence.\nThe statement in question is a couple simple sentences that say: “I certify that I am the chief law enforcement officer of the organization named below having jurisdiction in the area of residence of (Name of Applicant)..” In a simpler age, most CLEOs would sign this. If you’re in a firearms-friendly area, or have a Pro-2nd Amendment CLEO, they may sign without any hassles. But in today’s political environment, the assumed political — note not “legal” — liability of a Sheriff having one’s name associated with an unknown individual obtaining a “dangerous weapon” may not be something the politician wants to get involved in. They aren’t giving permission, they’re just saying they have no information that you’d misuse it and that possession isn’t against the local laws. Which, in a small town in the 1930’s, might have been a reasonable question to ask the local sheriff. But in a large metropolitan area today, it’s unreasonable to expect the sheriff would even know anything about you enough to feel comfortable signing the form. And if your sheriff doesn’t like guns? Then he’s probably not signing these forms for anyone. He doesn’t have to. Since the CLEO signoff amounts to an unfunded Federal mandate, local law enforcement isn’t compelled in any way to help out the BATFE in completing Federal paperwork. “Ain’t my job” is a 100% legit response here.\nIf you lived in an area where the CLEOs won’t sign the forms and you wanted to have an NFA item, you were out of luck. Perhaps the CLEOs in the next city or county signs, but the ones in your jurisdiction don’t. Short of moving addresses, you couldn’t begin the Federal registration scheme because of local roadblocks. This became frustrating enough for some legal-minded people back in the 90′s that they actually broke the man-rules and read the instructions(!), discovering that the law defines a transferee as “any individual, corporation, company, association, firm, partnership, society, or joint stock company.” §179.85 requires the CLEO signature portion of the form to be completed for identification of an “individual” — but not for a trust or any of the other entities that may act as something of a holding vehicle for the NFA items. Since a trust or corporation is not always made up of a single individual person and can often stretch over many geographical jurisdictions, a requirement for fingerprints, photographs and CLEO signature cannot and do not apply to trusts and the like. This came as something of a discovery to the previously unaware market, and purchasing items using a trust became something of an overnight epiphany for individuals that were formerly stopped by local CLEOs from getting their items transferred to them.\nEstablishing a trust is a fairly easy process, and there have been a number of attorneys that have met the demand by tailoring professionally-written trust documents specifically for holding NFA firearms. (See for example of a good source.) The “trust route” has also been rapidly adopted by many purchasers not only because it avoids complications with local roadblocks, but because it gives more flexibility than registering the item in one’s own name. A huge benefit is the ability to add one’s family members to the trust, so dad, mom, and adult children may all be able to use and be in possession of the trust’s property. Conversely, if the item was not on a trust and instead individually registered to dad, then mom’s taking of the family short-barreled-rifle to the range for target practice would be an illegal transfer with serious jail-time repercussions.\nSo, there’s a summary of trusts, some of their benefits, and why people would use them to obtain NFA items. Why would this attract the attentions of the White House, and what are they worried might happen with this status quo?\nAs the volume of trust transfers has increased dramatically over past years, the BATFE’s NFA Branch recognized that these were being approved with no background checks done on the people obtaining firearms via a trust, as opposed to the backgrounding process that individual transferees are subject to. An individual submitting a Form 4 would submit to fingerprint checks outsourced to the FBI, and the BATFE has ability to verify eligibility utilizing five criminal databases in-house. There is no requirement for a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) call-in upon pickup of an NFA item (The 4473 form that is completed by the dealer upon pickup of the firearm after the NFA transfer is done has a checkbox stating “No NICS check was required because the transfer involved only National Firearms Act firearm(s).”). So a trust purchaser doesn’t receive the background checks an individual Form 4 transferee would have gone through, or a NICS check upon pickup of the item like a normal handgun or rifle purchase would require. This raised concern for some both inside and outside the government. The National Firearms Act Trade and Collectors Association (NFATCA) brought this to the BATFE’s attentions back in 2009 in an attempt at compromise, which hopefully drives the “be careful what you ask for” adage home to everyone. The BATFE NFA Branch came up with some working ideas on how to incorporate background checks with minimal impact on the workload and speed of transfers. The NFA Branch’s proposed rule change was sent up the chain over a year ago, but more or less sat stale, and for various reasons never got traction to move forward.\nThis does raise the question: is there a real problem with trust or corporate ownership? Has there ever been a criminal that has gotten a NFA firearm via a trust who otherwise wouldn’t have legally been able to do so? In short, it hasn’t been anything close to a widespread problem, but there has been the occasional ineligible person attempting to buy via a trust. There have also been pranks pulled by otherwise-eligible applicants that make it obvious the trust route is open to abuse. As an example, fictitious names, such as cartoon characters, have been submitted as responsible parties of trusts. (Who does that to prove a point? Assumedly the same guys that got a kick out of putting things like “zombie slaying” down as their “reasonable necessity to possess” on the forms.) This left the BATFE in an awkward position where they can’t rightfully approve the form. In an age of liability, it’s irresponsible to assume a regulatory agency should approve a machinegun transfer you claim is for “Spongebob” and the reason you need it is “because the voices tell me to buy them.”\nForwarding to today’s executive action: it is basically a hurry-up order from Obama for the DOJ to take the NFA Branch’s proposal they’d been sitting on, make some additions and changes to it, make it their own, and expedite it forward through the rule-making process. The DOJ’s Obama-encouraged proposed rule change can be found here: (Note that the time period for public comment isn’t listed, as it hasn’t yet been published in the Federal Register as required, but with the executive branch’s go-fast mandate behind it, it assumedly will be soon. Once the formal version is posted, there should be a 90-day period for public comment.).\nThe .pdf linked above proposes a huge change in the existing process for trust and corporate NFA purchasers. The line that’s causing the firearms community to be in sky-is-falling mode is that, if this ruling is approved as-is, CLEO signoffs would be required for each “responsible person” listed on the trust or corporation. Responsible persons are defined by “any individual possessing, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management, policies, and practices of the legal entity, insofar as they pertain to firearms.” Which is pretty much everyone that would be on the trust. There’s also language where the ATF “recognizes that…a trust, partnership, association, company, or corporation may change, and is considering a requirement that new responsible persons submit Form 5320.23 within 30 days of the change”. The ability to comply with the paperwork requirements to obtain new NFA items may become near-impossible for hundreds of thousands of prospective buyers (even if they are already owners of existing NFA items under the current registration scheme). Required paperwork updates will need to keep flooding in even after a transfer is completed, as trusts and corporations often change members for various, routine reasons. This will add greatly to the workload of the examiners at the Branch. The Form 5320.23 is yet to be written, so it’s too early to tell what the form will look like, how long it will take to complete or process, or how to add to or amend it if you have more trustees or employees than blank lines on the form, for instance.\nThe government’s laughable spoonful of sugar to help this bad medicine go down is that they acknowledge that the current CLEO statement language on their forms could cause local law enforcement to not sign them, and is agreeable to remove the section regarding them having no information about the use of the firearm for other than lawful purposes. But the required forms will still state that “the official is satisfied that the fingerprints and photographs accompanying the application are those of the responsible person and that the certifying official has no information indicating that possession of the firearm by the responsible person would be in violation of state of local law.” At this time they don’t have any new phrasing thought up, and will be requesting your comments on what the new CLEO statement should say, which could make for some entertaining public submissions. Perhaps the new wording will make it easier to get the signoffs from formerly hesitant CLEOs, but this is highly doubtful. There’s still nothing compelling a local government entity to use their unpaid resources to help process some obscure Federal form. To boil this all down: we’re all being put back where we started in the bad old days, where thousands of otherwise-legal individuals are not being able to obtain a legal NFA item because their local anti-gun politician doesn’t feel like signing the form, regardless of how the ATF’s statement is worded. The DOJ themselves estimate these new requirements will add a burden of almost $15 million per year in preparation and processing costs, and plow along in their wrong assumption that local law enforcement will just volunteer their staffs and shoulder their portion of this cost. In a time when law enforcement budgets are stretched thin, unpaid participation from local agencies is not going to happen. If you think it was hard to get a CLEO to sign for one person standing in his office, imagine his hesitation in being asked to scribble a signature and run multiple background checks for each person in an eight-person family trust, or a 50-person corporation. And if some of these individuals are in different jurisdictions or states, multiple CLEOs would have to sign multiple forms to complete an all-or-nothing game where every member of the trust or corporation would have to find a CLEO that is willing to sign off, or the entire trust would be ineligible to complete transfers, even for otherwise eligible trustees.\nIn short, this all means that one of the main reasons people ran to the high ground of the trust route (getting around local roadblocks) will be pretty much gone if their CLEOs still refuse to sign forms. If you or any member of your trust or corporation live in an area where CLEOs don’t sign, you’re just not going to be able to purchase that NFA firearm you wanted, whether you’ve got a trust or not. It would return things to a time when a local Police Chief’s whimsy, cronyism, or personal political leanings determined whether or not you may begin the transfer process to buy an NFA firearm. That will have a major impact in a dealer’s ability to sell (and willingness to stock) these items in areas where CLEOs do not sign, not to mention the complications and paperwork processing slowdowns that are bound to happen with the addition of submitting multiple fingerprint cards, photos, and CLEO signoffs for each responsible person listed in the trust or corporation.\nOne irony here – and there are many – is that the easier way for an individual to get restricted firearms may soon be to apply to become a Federal Firearms licensee (FFL) themselves. Decades ago, the BATF used to encourage this, then reversed itself. It is not legal to obtain an FFL for the sole purpose of collecting, but as long as you give it a stab at selling and satisfy the other issues (zoning, etc.), you can be a dealer. As a dealer, you can have as many employees as you want, anywhere around the country, all of which can be authorized to possess the FFL’s NFA and other firearm sales samples. And while most wouldn’t want to go through the hassles or ongoing expenses do this, if the Obama administration makes it impossible for tens of thousands of NFA enthusiasts to legally participate in the process as it is today, people will be forced to come up with creative solutions that comply with the laws in future.\nOne assuredly non-hypothetical result of this announcement is that the NFA Branch expects to see quite a large influx of transfer applications in the immediate future, as dealers are reporting a huge boom of NFA sales. Buyers are rushing to get transfers started before any anticipated law change affects their ability to purchase. This week, Obama has created an NFA version of the AR15-and-PMAG-buying frenzy his last 23 executive actions caused over the past year. This, of course, is going to clog an already overworked and underfunded/understaffed NFA Branch even more than it is already (which is a lot). So brace for even slower transfers this fall, no fault of the NFA Branch.\nCurrently, all applications will be processed like they always have. If you purchase NFA items as an individual with a CLEO signoff, not using a trust or corporation, your situation is unchanged. But it’s shaping up to be pretty bad if you can’t get a CLEO signoff, and there are big hassles ahead for your trust even if you can. At least it’s not an executive order going into effect immediately. At this time, it’s an accelerated proposal that can still be shot or watered down. There’s hope that this public attention to the process could lead to the Branch getting more funding and ability to hire more examiners if public outcry and political pressure is brought to counter the executive branch’s desires. However things play out, overwhelming the comment period with alternatives and copying your Representatives on your concerns are the only opportunities to soften this blow.\nSending a short note of your opinion and suggestions is a great way to be involved in making firearms law history. It’s easy, it’s fast, and you don’t have to write a book – just tell them what you disagree or agree with and make suggestions. Whether the government acts on them is another story, but nothing gets done if you only participate in internet grumbling and don’t actually take up the opportunity to participate in the law-making process itself.\n- Kel Whelan\nTags: Kel Whelan\nThank you for taking the time to write this explanation up, it was extremely helpful in understanding the proposed changes.\nKel, you have always demonstrated a great deal of personal & professional integrity; and taking the time to inform SSD readers of the current NFA situation just reinforces that. Thanks for the post, Amigo.\nExcellent explanation Kel!\nThanks! Great write up and well done also.\nExecutive Orders issued for outside the Executive Branch are unconstitutional and illegal. Read your constitution. The Dear Leader forgets this. Just because the media and the RINO republicans do not call him on this doesn’t make them legal!\nIf I understand things correctly, the ATF is under the executive branch.\nDoesn’t help that the legality and Constitutionality of the BATF have always been in question, too bad Bush didn’t just disband them and been done with it\nWhy are there so many different federal LE agencys and not just one with multiple departments? How much money would be saved reducing the size of the head-shed?\nThanks very much for this writeup!\nGrateful for your time, sir. Very informative.\nThank you for your work to help us understand this news!\nAwesome information, thanks for taking the time to spell it out! Keep up the good fight!\nThank you Kel for taking the time to explain something no one in the mainstream media wanted to explain.\nI’m going to take a slightly different view of the proposed changes; however, I don’t see a serious issue. There two reasons these NFA trusts became the defacto motis operandi.\nFirst, the wording on the CLEO certification. Second activist CLEO refusal to sign irrespective of State Law.\nThe fact that the ATF was not running background checks on the responsible individuals of a trust or corporation is procedural. Nothing in current law prevents the ATF from doing that. So that’s the first fix and the Director of the ATF can easily do that. Lastly CLEO certification should only attest to the legality of the transfer in his or her jurisdiction, and not ask the CLEO to express a hypothetical opinion.\nThe later is a rules change. You don’t need an executive order to get the desired result.\nPerhaps that is your take, but as an FFL here are the top reasons cited by my customers on why they go with Trusts:\n1) 95% – More than one person can possess the item. That is a huge win for families. With the individual option, only I can possess. Other family members cannot use unless I am there.\n2) 33% – CLEO will not sign. Does not care what wording is, just plain will not sign as he does not believe NFA should be legal.\n3) 25% – Ease – no prints/photos/signatures. Form can be filled out and dropped in mail immediately.\n3) 25% – no paper trail to local LEO. Even if CLEO does sign, some folks do not want CLEO to have copy of form. They understand CLEOs change, and if anti-gun CLEO is hired/elected he gets access to all prior forms.\nI have one correction to this and it’s an important one that we should remind our elected officials of. A completed 4473 and a NICS check are required when picking up am NFA item for a trust or corporation. Check the NFA handbook, it’s in there. So no FFLs are completing transfers without a background check unless they’re doing it wrong.\nIt’s admittedly a subject with conflicting advice.\nThe Handbook (not the law) gives advice:\n“Chapter.”\nVs.\n2008 BATFE Newsletter also provides conflicting guidance on the subject:\n“TRANSFER OF A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT FIREARM TO A CORPORATION OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY\nATF has been increasingly asked questions about the procedures for the transfer of a National Firearms Act (NFA) firearm to a corporation or other legal entity, such as a trust, that is not a Federal firearms licensee (FFL).\nWhen transferring a firearm to a corporation or legal entity you must use an ATF Form 4 Application for Tax Paid Transfer of a Firearm.\nThe FFL will identify the corporation or other entity on the Form 4 application by the legal name as the transferee. No individual name, such as the name of the president of the corporation, shall be included in identifying the transferee.\nThe Articles of Incorporation or other documentation establishing the legal entity must be included with the Form 4 application. The documentation must identify a point of contact for the corporation or other entity and must be sufficient for ATF to establish the legitimacy of the existence of the corporation or other entity.\nIf the firearm being transferred is a machinegun, short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun, or destructive device, an officer or director of the corporation or other entity must complete item 15 on the reverse side of the Form 4.\nItems 13, 14, 16, and 17 of the Form 4 do not require completion for a transfer to a corporation\nor other entity nor is the submission of ATF F 5330.20, Certification of Compliance with 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(5)(B), required.\nProcedure after approval\nApproved NFA transfers are exempt from the NICS background check. So, when the FFL arranges for the disposition of the NFA firearm to a representative of the corporation or other entity, only the ATF\nForm 4473, Firearms Transaction Record, must be completed by the representative of the corporation or other entity.\nAll other recordkeeping requirements of the Gun Control Act must be met.”\nWhen in doubt, I’d go with what the law itself says. The BATF FAQ says no NICS needed. ATF’s newsletter to FFLs says NICS not needed. The chapter-and-verse of 18 USC 922 (t)(3)(B) says no NICS needed.\nThe only place I know of where NICS is prescribed is the Handbook.\nBut that handbook is just a loose guide co-written by a private advocacy group and somewhat blessed off by ATF, with the preface stating:\n…The book is the product of a joint effort between ATF and the National Firearms Act Trade and Collectors Association. ATF takes this opportunity to express its appreciation to the Association for its assistance in writing and making this publication possible.”\n(Took me a sec to look it up, but there it is! – emphasis mine)\nAll I know? I’m having to spend money I’d rather not spend to make up for the political posturing of the POTUS.\nGetting a little tired of having to move up time-tables because of someone who is both ill-informed about laws, firearms, and the Constitution.\nGreat write up. What about the restriction on foreign imported weapons? Did that come out on the same day?\n[...] Soldier Systems Daily recently ran an excellent guest article (excerpted above) about the recent White House announcement, its implementation and its potential impact. If you’re interested at all in better understanding the matter, please read the entirety of the post here. [...]\nI appreciate this in-depth analysis of the challenges our community faces in light of the Executive Branch’s actions. I look forward to the revelation of the wording and excitedly anticipate the public comment period. I place this petty, vindictive, and unjustified affront to our rights equal in importance, if not more so, than the poison injected into the Firearm Owners Protection Act. The Executive’s intent is known, our window of opportunity is known, our resolve is known. We are vigilant, informed, communicative, and capable. Now, we will utilize our time wisely, to gather resources and gird for the struggle ahead.\n[...] in that case? And here is an excellent article about the proposed changes for anyone interested.
