If you have the chance to book her, then BOOK HER TODAY! We luckily came across Anne Buskirk and were able to have her photograph our wedding recently. We can't say a negative word about Anne and take every chance to sing her praises! The entire experience was beyond our expectations. Unbelievable attention to detail, willingness to go above and beyond without being asked. She knew when to back off and let the action roll and when we needed guidance, she wasn't shy and lead us all. The images turned out fabulous and everyone loved her. She was fun and energetic and had so many great ideas. There were so many memories she captured that we never knew happened. And the best part, we were pleasantly surprised to receive everything ahead of schedule! We highly suggest you check her out, in fact our best friends just booked her for their wedding and we recommend that you do too!

Anne is an amazing find! We came across her work and booked her for our engagement session, rehearsal and our wedding day this summer. We were so impressed with her style and versatility and simply loved her photography. We have to say the entire journey was fabulous. From the beginning she was approachable, open to our needs and full of great ideas and experience. She was flexible and pays strong attention to the details. We also discovered that she has an extensive background in event planning too. Her knowledge of timing was extremely helpful to make the day run smoothly. And to top everything off, her pricing was some of the best in town for your return on investment. We could not have been more satisfied with choosing Anne. We know we will have her continue documenting the special events and momentous occasions in our lives!
Anne is absolutely amazing! She is very professional and has an awesome personality! Before the shoot, she helped choose the location and asked what we expected. She was very flexible and patient with us. During the shoot, she was fabulous with our two daughters, who were not very cooperative. She stayed longer than the set time to make sure we had the images we had hoped for. We were totally impressed! She genuinely wants her clients to be happy, which is hard to find! We received our pictures and could not have been happier! There wasn't a single thing that we would have added or changed! I had a smile on my face while looking through every single image! Her pricing is amazing for the quality and the amount that we received! We look forward to many more sessions with Anne and will definitely, highly recommend her. Thank you so very much!
Anne Buskirk recently photographed our wedding in Carmel, Indiana and we could not have been more pleased with the outcome! From the first day we met Anne, we knew we had made the right choice. Her education and experience as a photographer was a plus, but her talent as an artist speaks for itself. And then she takes that a step further. Her background and experience in event planning helped us prepare a flawless day. We were able to relax and know everything was in good hands as we enjoyed ourselves. We are still amazed at the beautiful moments she captured of us along with all our family and friends. We had many requests and she accomplished everything and more than we expected or could have even dreamed of receiving. Many thanks to this wonderful lady!
Anne is absolutely wonderful and a pleasure to work with. We had her take pictures of our newborn baby girl and couldn't be more pleased with the results. Anne made me feel very comfortable. Our little one had several crying sessions and Anne was extremely patient and understanding. She let us stop and feed her in the middle of our session and even captured some great pictures of me comforting her. When we got the photos back these were completely unexpected and some of my favorite shots. We have shared the photos with many of our friends and family and have recieved countless compliments. I would highly recommend Anne and look forward to having her continue to capture memories of our family.
I booked Anne Buskirk for our organization's week-long event that involved a wide variety of people from very young children to senior citizens. Anne was careful to make sure she understood the assignment and our particular needs before accepting the booking. She offered her helpful suggestions on ways to achieve certain photo goals. She was always on time and had our photos available very quickly for download. She provided an estimate for the work before I booked her and kept well within that range. She was able to adjust her schedule on short notice as our needs changed. Highly recommended.
I decided to book Anne for a family photo shoot after seeing the amazing photos she took for a friend's wedding, and I am so glad I did. Anne was so wonderful and professional to work with, from start to finish. She was super flexible when we needed to reschedule last minute. She spent a considerable amount of extra time with us during the photo shoot (without any extra charge) and was incredibly patient with my toddler son and really made the photo shoot fun for him (and us!). The photos turned out just as beautiful as I had hoped and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience :)
Our business has used Anne for several important marketing projects. I could not recommend her highly enough. Her work is outstanding, and her professionalism perfectly matches our needs. Anne has an absolute knack for putting people at ease as they are photographed. She has worked with our entire employee base and some of our very valued customers. In all cases she has been flexible, collaborative, and she made the experience fun! We are exceptionally pleased with Anne and her work.
I love the pictures that Anne took of my daughter and my family. She had great ideas and I was very pleased with the final product. I used her photos in my daughters birth announcement and have them framed around the house. I am already trying to set up another session since my daughter is almost one. I can't wait to see what Anne does this time. Very professional and a delight to work with!
Anne Buskirk is a true professional and a very talented photographer. She has always been based in Indianapolis. I've been familiar with her work for years and know she has an extensive photography education and background. She has provided an extraordinary product for our company on several occasions. I would highly recommend her services!

Freaks and Geeks – The Greatest Show That Never Was and JP's Netflix Pick of the Week
Oh 'Freaks and Geeks'....where do I even begin? This is the kind of special moment in television history that only comes around once in a very great while. And like so many amazing productions, killed off so prematurely it barely registered on people's radar when it was being actually on television. Luckily for all of us Netflix has preserved what previous few moments we were allowed with this show. Settle in and turn off the phone, because this is one show you're going to end up binging on.

Get the Fat Diminisher System Weightloss System in Glen Park New York
The Easy Way To Weight Loss Success
It's never fun to have to lose weight because it always seems so difficult. Motivation comes easy at first, but it is easy to lose it after a short amount of time, making it easy to give up. Read on to learn the secrets of the pros who have lost weight and kept it off.
Once you've made the commitment to lose weight, you need to set a goal. Are you looking to shed lots of pounds, or do you just want to reclaim clothing that has not been worn for many years? Are you interested in feeling more fit and improving your overall health? You should set a weight loss goal to give yourself something to achieve.
Having to stare your progress (or lack thereof) in the face is one way to keep yourself on track. You should keep a journal of all the food you eat. Review your journal entries before you go to sleep to make sure you are staying on track with your caloric goals. Use your journal to keep track of your weekly weight losses or gains. Graphs are very helpful to use in a weight loss diary.Making decisions about what to eat while you are hungry is not a wise choice. To avert disaster, plan your meals ahead of time. A menu is a wonderful idea, because it lets everyone in the family know what they are having to eat each night. Instead of eating out, you should bring your own lunch. It is cheaper, and you have control over the calorie content of the meal.
It is not enough just to have a good diet when you want to lose weight effectively. Combining exercise with a healthy diet will give you the results you desire. Staying with your workout regimen will be easier if you enjoy the exercises. Look for physical activities that are fun and engaging, so they will hold your interest in the long run. Sign up for classes at the local gym; it is a great way to meet new people.
You can avoid eating junk by not keeping it around. You cannot eat what you do not have, so make sure that you only stock healthy foods in the house. There are a number of snacks that are not only healthy, but also tasty. These include fresh fruits, veggies and granola bars. You should not buy any foods that you are tempted to eat in excess. Common indulgences are chips, cookies and candy. By making these types of food extremely inconvenient to snack on the less chance you have of breaking down and eating them.

I don't know about you, but I worry about Hillary Clinton.
The woman is obviously tough as nails; four decades in the public eye will do that to you. Yet I can't help but think about how she's coping whenever I read reports about Vice-Hypocrite Mike Pence's private emails being hacked (um, LOCK HIM UP?), or further evidence of her opponent's links to the foreign power that intentionally sabotaged her campaign.
If I want to punch a hole in my screen, how must she be feeling?
In case you too are wondering (every few minutes of every day) how Hillary Clinton is holding up, rest assured: she is, apparently, doing okay. According to a source speaking to The Hill, the other Hill is picking herself up and dusting herself off.
"She's in a much better place than she was in two months ago," said one confidant. "I think she's very much forward-thinking and -looking than people think she is right now."
Like a woman going through the worst breakup of all time, Clinton was struggling initially. "In the days and weeks following her surprise loss, allies say it was difficult for Clinton to read the headlines," The Hill continues. "Instead, she went on long walks in and around her home Chappaqua, N.Y. and out to dinner with her husband."
So there you have it. Hillary is okay. You can stop wanting to hug her tightly and whisper, "It's not your fault. It wasn't fair."
The bittersweet I-told-you-so of the increasing Russian connections is surely helping.

Difficult to comment as this restaurant no longer exists at this location. There is however quite a decent snack bar in its place so if you are hungry you won't go without.
Quick lunch: beautiful!! Hubby had fish finger sandwich which he still raves about 3 months later!! Lovely friendly service and great food - what else is there?!?! Looking forward to visiting in larger premises soon.
We loved the superb standard of cuisine. The premises are small but I am told that N68 is moving at the end of this year to much larger premises on Monnow St. in Monmouth.
We look forward to that!
We went for lunch today at N68, this little restaurant is tucked away down a side street and we wouldn't have found this little gem if it wasn't for Trip adviser.

Yes it does have a limited amount of covers but the food we found to be exceptional. The setting is also rather nice getting one in the mood for something outstanding and we weren't disappointed. We will be back!
What a treat to have lunch today at N68. If you are looking for top quality restaurant food without restaurant prices then look no further. The menu is refreshingly original with flavour combinations to satisfy the most discerning palate. I sampled breast of duck with goosegog (gooseberries) and gem topped with pistachio granola. Heaven on a plate. My fellow diners...

Court Rebuffs Move to Force Woman to Have a Caesarean
Published: December 17, 1993
CHICAGO, Dec. 16— The Illinois Supreme Court today refused to enter a dispute over an attempt to force a 22-year-old pregnant woman to have a Caesarean section to save her endangered fetus. The woman says God will protect it.
The court's order upheld an appellate court ruling and effectively ended an appeal by Patrick Murphy, the Cook County public guardian. Mr. Murphy said he would appeal to the United States Supreme Court. Doctors say the fetus, one and a half weeks shy of full term, is being deprived of oxygen and will die or suffer brain damage unless it is surgically removed.

As give love to one so affected
You may as well cast a flawless pearl from the sea
To a swine on the farm
To give a golden ring
Signifying purity of heart and eternal loyalty
To one whose only word of God comes at the end of 'Oh My!'
Is a mockery of love and marriage
As well add it to the collection of rings in a Pigs nose!
At least a Pig admits it's a Pig and does'nt masquerade as anything else.
I for one am sick of sickness parading as wellness …. Physical health is ALL TO OFTEN bought with material wealth… BUT …
You can't buy back your soul once you've betrayed anothers. You can't fix it at the 'beauty' salon and you can't get your twisted spirit back into shape down at the gym ….
You can't buy love and you can't possess it. …OMG! DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU COULD?… LoL!

I am so glad that you picked up the Deschanel/National Anthem question. I just watched the video of it earlier today and was so pleased. The part of the song that we sing the most - the first stanza - is really a series of questions. This form betrays the seriousness and uncertainty present in the hymn, and I am always touched by the searching tone of it, especially the last question: "Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave; O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?". It is a meditation of concern on whether or not we are going to make it, not a triumphant ode to having already done so. We would do well to recover this reflection right now! So, I say Deschanel was dead on in her approach.
Perhaps its because I'm a cynical asshole, but when people sing it in a triumphant manner, I more often than not think they are just trying to show off. That is also because I don't think it should be sang at all, not at a sporting event. This reader makes the case well:
Our knee-jerk patriots, who want not just to enforce patriotism at sporting events but even determine the tone of that patriotism, need a history lesson. Until the First World War, no one would have dreamt of playing the "Star-Spangled Banner" before a baseball game. Sports, especially professional sports, were thought to be inherently unworthy of the dignity and gravitas assigned to our national anthem. Only pro-war patriotic zeal - and the desire of baseball owners to be allowed to continue to play during the conflict - led to the now-unquestioned pairing of flag-waving and jock-sniffing that is so central to one strain of "America Fuck Yeah!" patriotism.
Its great people want to be patriotic. But why at a sporting event? What do sports have to do with patriotism? I'm there to watch a game. Its an escape from real world stuff. Its not like a game is the only time in which you have to be patriotic. And as the read above points out, much of it is faux-patriotism.
Its an opportunity for people participating in a tribal ritual to pull in another tribal ritual in order to give them a higher sense of personal meaning. Once people leave the game they don't give a shit about the wars we are fighting or getting involved in the politics that shape how great our nation will be. Its just annoying and I'd enjoy my sports experiences just a little more if I didn't have to sit through these fake political shows, even when someone like Deschanel doesn't go over the top and makes it about herself.
Though one exception I will make is if all performances of the national anthem were done by someone playing it on an electric guitar. That is usually so awesome I am willing to ignore the fact that it has no place in sports.

Click here to learn more about the New CDS Pyrolysis Sample Prep Station where you can prepare and store everything you need to prepare samples all in one unit.
Polymer Libraries
With the vast array of polymers and additives, and the continual development of new ones, finding trace amounts in an unknown polymer sample is becoming increasingly difficult. To help tackle this challenge, CDS Analytical has developed several libraries for polymers, polymer additives, and even biofuel compounds. The libraries contain hundreds of spectra to make the most comprehensive set of libraries that will aid in making data interpretation easier than ever. These libraries are continually built upon and CDS offers free library upgrades for the life of the product.
Polymer Library
This library is a collection of spectra generated by averaging all of the spectra for a given sample. The standard GC/MS software can be used to identify the averaged spectra run for a sample against polymer compounds in the CDS library.
One example is a sample of clear plastic that when pyrolyzed produced styrene monomer, dimmer and trimer indicating polystyrene, which is a logical choice for this kind of material (Fig. 1). When the pyrogram was averaged (Fig. 2) and searched, however the best fit was for a copolymer of styrene and butadiene (Fig. 3), not pure polystyrene. Closer investigation of the smaller peaks in the pyrogram did reveal the presence of butadiene oligomers, information that may have been missed by a visual inspection of the pyrogram.
Polymer Additive Library:
For volatile additives and biofuel compounds, you can use one of several industry standard deconvolution software programs with these libraries to look for individual compounds or groups of compounds. The libraries are currently compatible with AMDIS, Ion Signature and Agilent ChemStation. These programs are used to search for user specified compounds in a complex pyrogram and then identified against our library of individual spectra, giving faster, more accurate data than ever before.
The polymer additives libraries are categorized under searchable groups such as:
- Additives
- Flame Retardants
- Plasticizers
- Stabilizers
- Antioxidants
- Lignocellulosics

A gradual increase in volumes in everything from bricks to polyethylene is starting to feed through to higher prices in most of the group's businesses. The gearing effect is most pronounced in aggregates businesses, where an 8.3 per cent rise in sales produced an eight-fold profits increase. The fact that margins are still just 2.7 per cent, however, indicates there is still plenty of upside to come.
The extent of the upside is indicated by Hanson's calculation that its businesses are currently about pounds 1bn below their peak level of operating profits. Shareholders should not get too excited.
Even if such peaks can be seen again (and in building and, possibly, chemicals that is extremely doubtful) the fact that it seems to have lost the knack of earning interest on bank borrowings will dull the effect on the bottom line.
The pounds 817m of disposals has brought gearing back to a more comfortable level, although the swing from pounds 36m received to pounds 119m paid still knocked a painful hole in profits. For the full year, it will be pounds 265m ahead of last year, dampening the impact of recovery in its businesses.
Analysts are penciling in about pounds 1.1bn excluding disposal profits, 10 per cent up on last time, putting the shares on a multiple of about 14, rising to 18 on an all-in basis. The 5.6 per cent yield looks generous even if the dividend is not increased for another year or so. That is enough to underpin the shares, but the growth prospects should not be overlooked.Reuse content

Browse through a wide array of Entrepreneurship books at Amazon
The concept of entrepreneurship has taken the world by storm quite literally. Anyone with business acumen can become an entrepreneur. In fact, some of the massive business successes have been the results of constant effort by some of the self made entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship in young executives is trending and is considered rather bold strategy to reject high paying jobs to join start up. It is a reinvention of the concept of working for oneself rather than working for someone else. The onus of success or failure completely lies on the entrepreneur, in a way, entrepreneurship also marks a shifting of responsibility, complete responsibility on the individual and he/she is accountable for every decision he/she undertakes.
The start up scene in India is picking momentum and gaining popularity among youngsters. The avenues of growth and development are a lot more in the start up scenario as compared to the well flourishing MNCs. The corporate giants do not give autonomy to young trainee or new joinees entering the work space. This is not conducive for a lot of fresh talents who like to be given responsibility and held accountable for their actions. There is a huge exodus of such people in the entrepreneurship scene. An entrepreneurship venture involves a series of brain storming sessions. There has to be a concrete scalable and profitable idea that has the potential of transforming into a business venture. Then there has to be human resource support which depends upon quality recruitment. Entrepreneurs are credited for being innovators so the path can be carved out by them depending upon their dreams and goals. There is no set pattern and that is where the risk taking and fun element crop in. Entrepreneurs have a key role to play in the economy tomorrow. They would be the ones who would bring a change by the power of their ideas and impact lives. Who knows there could be another Face book or Amazon? You cannot say anything. All you need is a strong mind, quality to persevere and ability to take risks. Then sky is your limit.
Sometimes all you need is motivation and courage to give shape to your ideas. What else than reading the stories of some of the people who have made a mark for themselves in the field? Amazon has some great collection of books by some of the best entrepreneurs. The books are highly motivational and fun to read. Examples include Stay Hungry Stay Foolish, Connect the Dots, Follow every Rainbow, Losing my Virginity, Delivering Happiness, Art of the Start 2.0, Hooked: How to build Habit Forming Products, Rework: Change the Way You Work Forever and many others. They are cost effective and are very insightful. The delivery options on Amazon make for a convenient shopping experience.

Steady business is impossible without the work performed between cubicle walls in company offices. To ensure workers are reaching their full potential, managers can help them stay comfortable throughout the day. Employees whose workstations foster focus, creativity and multitasking can maintain productivity in a healthy way.
Encourage personality
Photographs, plants, postcards and calendars let employees personalize their office workstation, according to Forbes. Letting workers display unique mementos and personal, appropriate items lets them know their personality is embraced and not shunned in the workplace.
Part of customizing a space is also ensuring it is physically conducive to work. Ergonomic chairs and adjustable desks and monitors allow workers to set their surroundings to their body types.
Move around
While cubicles give workers the space they need to perform tasks, the limited space can be overwhelming. To promote a more collaborative office space, businesses may consider encouraging employees to walk to coworkers' desks rather than emailing them. If workers interact consistently throughout the day, businesses may want to expand cubicles to fit more than one workstation.
If managers find cubicle furniture isn't conducive to worker happiness or productivity, it may be time to give the office a face-lift. By replacing items with used office furniture, companies can save money on their office improvements without skimping on quality.
Want to create a comfortable, collaborative work environment? Visit the Office Furniture Warehouse website to complete your office landscape.

We Can't Afford to Lose Our Youth
Young people between the ages of 16 and 24 face an unemployment rate more than twice as high as the overall rate. An estimated 5.25 million youth nationwide are connected to neither work nor schooling, representing nearly a third of the unemployed labor force.
These concerns led the Campaign for Youth—a nationwide effort to connect youth with opportunities—to update its policy agenda and investment strategy this year.
We can't afford to lose the next generation of talent. That's why WorkForce Central is proud to sign on as official partners
and supporters of the strategies laid out by the campaign, including:
- Make reconnecting our youth a national priority.
- Build on the strengths of young people and involve them in finding solutions for their generation.
- Invest in high-need communities
- Create opportunities for work experiences that are relevant to careers and have real world application.
- Create pathways to financial independence and social mobility.
- build state and local capacity to expand effective high-quality, evidence-based programming.
Programs like Career Day and Summer Jobs 253—mentioned below—are just two examples of many programs we support to reach youth. As we grow these programs and others like them, we're investing in youth and lifting our economy
for years to come.
We're Different. So is Our Data.
Pierce County gets lumped into the greater Seattle metropolitan area for statistics on everything from sports to median income. But we differ considerably from our neighbors to the north. That's why it is important to drill down into statistics like the job index and economic numbers to draw out the most relevant information.
With the right information, decisions about policy and programs can be more targeted and ultimately more effective. That's why WorkForce Central is fighting this shortage of Pierce-specific data by producing employment reports like the one found here.
In 2016, we also dug deep into the top local industries to study workforce supply and demand. Armed with the most relevant data ever, we're helping the community make better, more informed choices about growth and investment.
Construction Partnership Hosts Largest Career Day EVER
Growing at 3.6 percent annually and clocking in as Pierce County's fastest growing sector, employers in the construction industry could hardly afford to take a day off. But neither could they afford to neglect planning for their future workforce.
That's why 131 construction, trades and other employers set their tools aside on November 17 to participate in Pierce County Career Day—the largest career day in Washington state. And this year, we broke all previous attendance records: more than 2,200 students participated!
Career Day goes beyond construction and introduces high school students to career paths in manufacturing, engineering, utilities, aerospace and other STEM- and trades-related careers too. Some of this year's exhibitors included Tom Boy Tools, Magnum Crane Service and the Aerospace Joint Apprenticeship Committee (AJAC).
We express our sincere appreciation to all of the volunteers, sponsors and vendors who make Career Day a success.
Interested in being part of the Construction Partnership? Contact Ellie Chambers Grady at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Partner Feature: Summer Jobs 253
The words "summer vacation" bring back memories of road trips, fun with family and friends, and some of the worst-paid, most thankless jobs we'll ever have. Nowadays, we want our students to set their sights higher. We want their summers to be memorable and meaningful.
Summers are a great time to teach students about career paths, and thanks to the willing cooperation of 67 local employers, we were able to do precisely that during summer 2016—our fourth year partnering on the Summer Jobs 253 program.
The City of Tacoma—at the direction of Mayor Marilyn Strickland—founded Summer Jobs 253 in 2013. This year, a total of 172 students participated. Not only did the students benefit from on-the-job employment experience and a wage, they also had the opportunity to earn up to two high school credits.
Some students also earned college credits, thanks to a partnership with Tacoma Community College and the Microsoft Institute Training program. If you know a Tacoma-based high school sophomore or junior who might want to participate in summer 2017, send them to summerjobs253.com.
Degree or No Degree? That is the Question.
Did you know there are dozens of jobs in Pierce County that pay great annual wages without requiring a four-year degree? raining programs like apprenticeships, certificate programs and military experience provide pathways for great careers hether or not you have a college degree. Here are a few examples:

Angostura® 1919 is a specially blended multiple award winning rum, which celebrates a very particular date in the development of the rum industry in Trinidad & Tobago, as well as the Caribbean. After a fire in 1932, which destroyed the Government Rum Bond, the master blender of Fernandes Distillers, J.B.

Project Description
I need a script that upon a form submittal (see attached) that has multiple date fields, for each date it will create a calendar entry with an appropriate event title. Basically, the user enters information about a class, including class id, teacher, location, number of sessions, and the dates and topic for each session. Upon submittal, I want a calendar event created according to for the format shown in the screen shot (including repeating the location in both the location field and in the event title).
* If we were to add a "Day of Week" field, validate that the entered dates are on the correct day of the week.
* Count the Number of Sessions and validate that the user did, in fact, enter the correct number
Double Bonus:
Update the calendar if the original form is edited
Update the form entry if the calendar is edited
(Or at least somehow catch and warn about data inconsistencies)

TPM Reader CS: "We voted early. This is me and my husband after we voted in Houston, Texas. My "I voted" sticker and the tag they gave me to enter the code for my ballot."
TPM Reader JL: "My husband and me voting in Brooklyn, NY this morning.
Our polling place is right on our block, in a church that was the original structure for All Saints' Episcopal Church, where my husband is Rector. The church moved up the block in 1893, we live right behind it, and we were married in it just over two years ago."
TPM Reader VJS:"Me and my 88 year old mom. We're with Her! Louisville, KY "
TPM Reader JJ: "Took my daughter (3) to help me vote in OH. She even helped me color in the square for HRC. We talked a lot about why we were voting for the "Girl" - because they are strong and tough and smart. She was very proud. "
TPM Reader AS: "Attached is the voting pic of me & my boyfriend, up early to vote in Lynbrook, southern Nassau County on Long Island. No line - and no stickers! :( - and a smooth, quick process overall. We were excited to vote on different party lines and are glad NY state gives other parties that opportunity! We're hoping our state senator can keep his seat after a close race this spring, too. Happy Election Day! Thanks for all your hard work and I hope you get some rest soon!"
TPM Reader PS: "Here are me and my wife outside the polling station after voting this morning. It was a rainy warm day. There was no wait to vote although the place was full of voters. My wife is from Kenya and became a citizen in 2002. The first time she voted in the U.S. she couldn't understand why everyone doesn't vote "It was so easy!""

I LOVE Downton Abby.
Doesn't everyone?
Let's recap:
A fabulous estate known as Downton Abby costs a cartload of pig poop to keep-up.
A younger (1900) Robert Crawley, the Earl of Grantham (and keeper of the flames), finds he is in need of serious moola to continue the legacy.
He marries a rich American heiress, Cora Levinson, for her ability to fund his trust (she does) and provide heirs (three daughters), which he has recently been told he may not, by British inheritance law, leave Downton Abby.
Only boys are allowed to play ball.
In fact, the property will go to a distant male cousin, Mr. Matthew Crawley, who could care less.
So the hunt for a rich husband for eldest daughter, Mary, begins. If she marries obscenely wealthy- they can buy Matthew out.
But not before she has 'hardly-worth-it' sex with an exotic aristocratic who inconveniently dies in her bed.
Oh my! This is inconvenient.
Off to the next.
As happens so often in real life, Lady Mary Crawley and Mr. Matthew Crawly, meet, spat, loathe, fall in love, marry, and between them, hope to save the farm- except Matthew has no money, just the title to the estate. One out of two ain't bad.
Future funding is still a concern, but not to worry, Papa has made wise investments and will generously continue to pay the bills until such time as Mary and Matthew can figure out a way to afford their new family estate.
The Earl has invested his (and Cora's) money, all in one lump sum (who does this?) in a poorly executed Canadian railroad development project- which fails (damn Canadians).
Broke again!
But wait!
Matthew has just been informed that his earlier and unloved dead fiance's father, has left him a boatload, under the assumption that if his cherished daughter had lived to marry Matthew, it would have been his anyways.
What to do? What to do?
Take the money under false 'love' pretenses and save Downton Abby, the family, the servants, the history, the future?
Or don't, because your lillywhite ass has a silver capped walking stick up it?
I'm with Lady Mary on this one- suck it up.
In the meantime, the only foreseeable way to raise working capital is to ask blunt American Grandmother Martha for the money (why did they have Shirley MacLaine eat with her mouth open?) which would be in addition to the fortune that her daughter Cora came to the marriage with.
The full staff dinners keep coming, even when the ovens stop working (Yankee Ingenuity creates a picnic- of sorts. I guess you have to be rich to have thought this was wicked fun) as the Dowager Countess of Grantham, Violet Crawley, attempts to appear simpatico with the more relaxed ways of American wealth (Newport? On a beach? As your primary residence? How common!)
And then there's the youngest, Lady Sybil, who ran off with a pre-IRA chauffeur, the ever bitchy middle sister Edith, who's ready to marry anyone who can stomach her, Matthew's busy-body do-gooder mother, Isobel Crawley, who lights from cause to cause in search of an identity, and the ever present and incompetent Dr. Clarkson.
OK. That's 'Upstairs'.
'Downstairs' is equally as complex, what with, the immovable Mr. Carson, the patient Mrs. Hughes, the plotting between Mrs. O'Brien and Thomas Barrow, simpleton Daisy Mason, and the mysterious Mr. Bates, who's been accused of murdering his ex-wife, while being faithfully attended to by the naive Anna Smith.
I need another splash of the grape . Glug-Glug- Glug. Sip- Sip- Sip. Match strike, inhale, hold it- hold it.
I actually identify with both classes.
After all, what's a pot stirred, a bill paid, a light switch tightened, a litter box sifted, the search for the most affordable miracle night cream, another load of laundry, a cocktail party with two inch roots, if you don't do it with silk gloves and a cocktail ring on?

So far, I really like the story. I hope you will continue it. Paul is my second favorite Lost Boy, so I'm always happy to see a story about him on here.
I think you did a really good job describing your character and what was going on around her and Paul. I think the only thing I could recommend doing would be to break up the dialogue into separate paragraphs, so you don't get these huge paragraphs.
Update soon!

American Stair Corporation Invests $2.9 Million To Relocate Production Facility To Hammond, Indiana
The company will invest $2.9 million to purchase, renovate and equip a 60,000 square-foot facility located at 3510 Calumet Avenue in Hammond, also adding an additional 12,000 square feet in production space.
"Indiana offers the best business environment in the Midwest area," said Gordon Fitzsimmons, President of American Stair. "It is a state that values businesses that bring working opportunities for its citizens. The key is that Indiana recognizes that government, its citizens and businesses are all connected and must work together to achieve the best possible future."
The facility, which will be operational by the end of March, will undergo renovations while the company gradually relocates production from its Illinois facility over the next year. With its new Indiana operations, the company will consolidate all fabrication into one facility, improving its material flow to increase efficiency and quality. American Stair, which currently employs more than 140 full-time associates, has already begun hiring detailers, estimators, welders, grinders and layout professionals.
"Indiana is proud to offer a business climate that is affordable and predictable," said Governor Mike Pence. "American Stair is gaining a competitive advantage by bringing its operations to Indiana and hiring Hoosiers, benefiting from the lower taxes and balanced budget that make Indiana a state that works for business."
As an incentive Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered American Stair Corporation, Inc. up to $1,725,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company's job creation plans. These incentives are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority supports the project through its no-interest securitized forgivable loan program. The city of Hammond approved additional incentives.

Contact by Carl Sagan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Looking back, I realize that I first read Contact back around 1986. The fictional events described in the book were as far in the future for my first reading as they are now in the past upon my second. Some things Carl Sagan talked about, like a woman President of the United States, have not come to pass (and in fact the movie substituted the woman president for the more historically accurate Bill Clinton.) Other things Sagan talked about, like the Soviet Union, ceased to exist shortly after the book's publication. Ordinary and common things, like the Internet and cellphones, which were establishing a toehold in our world by 1999, are not even mentioned. But Sagan was no prognosticator, he was hunting bigger game.
Sagan was concerning himself with big question, science versus religion, and whether they are compatible, the possibilities of world peace, and the eventual triumph of humanism. Calling the book science fiction does not do it justice. Few novels deserve the sobriquet (coined, I believe by Harlan Ellison) "speculative fiction" more. Sagan speculates throughout the book about seemingly everything, from the morality of the commercialization of sex to the possibility of human immortality.
I had completely forgotten that the book sets its most dramatic event on the last day of 1999, and that the book is so rife with Millennialism and world end scenarios. That fervor, so in the air throughout the 90's, is all but forgotten in the post 9/11 age. Also, Sagan's respectful examination of the claims of religion feel almost too nice in a world threatened by Islamic extremism and the economic extortion of the religious right in today's House of Representatives. We face another kind of apocalypse today, not nuclear, per se, but intellectual and economic.
Sagan is the modern model of the scientist/humanist, a great thinker who actively worked for the betterment of the world. His book is a very real examination of the difficulties involved in altering the views of those in power. Political realities continually stymie the brightest ideas, and truth becomes a commodity. The world we live in is peppered by politics, business and religion, all of which conspire and fight one another for power and relevancy, steamrolling idealists like Ellie and stomping on the dreams of, well, everyone.
The world we live in now is a product of the Enlightenment, and of the rising cause of Humanist values. There are forces, even today, that are anti-Humanist and would see the Enlightenment fail, and the old religions triumphant. It is quite possible that the loud rhetoric and violent actions of the anti-Enlightenment forces is a kind of death cry of a passing way of life.
Contact stands as a significant contribution to the goals we are striving towards and a polemic against ignorance and superstition, even as it acknowledges the difficulty of telling the two apart. In the end, after Ellie and the others have traveled to a distant world, they are left with no evidence, only their unique revelation, seemingly putting their science on the same level as run-of-the-mill religious revelation.
But Ellie is a scientist, as are the others. They will not proclaim their story without proof, without hard evidence. So instead of asking the world to accept their views on faith, they ask the world to wait, until they have the proof.

Standing in front of the mirror one day when he was eight years old, Gautam Edwin Meerstadt suddenly realised that he looked very different from his parents — he was brown and they were white. A few days later, his Dutch parents told him that they had adopted him from an orphanage in Pune when he was just two months old.
Now a 32-year-old car mechanic in the northern Netherlands, Meerstadt is back in his country of birth for the first time, looking for his roots. He has been here for two months, and has not yet been able to track down his biological parents. But this week, he managed to trace, and meet, the man who saved his life as a baby — a retired police constable, Baban Nathu Satkar.
Satkar, who lives in Manchar village in Rajguru Nagar taluka, 100 km northwest of Pune, found baby Gautam in a dustbin in a village in Khed taluka, and took him to Pune's government-run Sassoon Hospital, which treated the baby and then admitted it to Shrivatsa, an orphanage in the city.
"It has been a long struggle to find out where I come from," an emotional Meerstadt told HT. "I will continue to search for my biological parents during my stay. But at least I have found the person who saved my life."
When Meerstadt — who plans to stay here for two more months — visited Satkar in his village on Monday, it was a moving experience for both. "This meeting is something I never expected in my life," said the retired constable.
