She wanted nothing to do with me. Well, that's too f*cking bad.
My MC brothers call me Dare for a reason. I never back down from a challenge. And Lila was the sweetest challenge I ever faced.
From the moment she walked into my tattoo shop, she was going to end up in my bed. Tied up, moaning my name and begging for more.
Her past was a nightmare and I couldn't guarantee her a future. But I could promise her a good time.
I didn't know what we would turn into, let alone how hard it'd be to stay away after my selfish ass sent her packing.
Problem is, my girl is hot, so the same men I call brothers tried to claim her.
There's not enough bourbon in the world to help me forget the love we shared. But to get her back, to prove she's more to me then a quick lay, I'll have to tell her the secret I've been hiding from everyone.
Before she's gone forever.

Wait….just wait a darn minute. Is this the first book from this author? NO WAY!!!! This was amazing!!!! I'm seriously going to have to stalk this author now that I've read this one. Let me start off my saying that I don't hand out 5 stars often. Even if I really like the book, I'm more of a 4 star gal. But this has just about every little thing you could possibly want in a MC, Erotic, slightly dark book. I say slightly because I've read darker and although something happens to the lead female, it's not by the lead male and isn't excessive. Let's begin, shall we?
Lila's a runner. In fact, that's how she ends up working at a tattoo shop run by the Jericho Brotherhood. After being cheated on by her ex-boyfriend and owner of the last tattoo shop she was the manager of, she quickly packed her bags and left him and the shop behind without looking back. Wanting to start over and find herself again, she's trying really hard to keep her sexual appetite in check. But her new boss Dare is a walking sex god and isn't helping by flirting and propositioning her left and right. This is becoming harder and harder every day.
Dare is the main man of the tattoo shop, Marked Men. Although he's not the leader of the Brotherhood, he's pretty well up in rankings and everyone pretty much does whatever he says. So when Lila is thrown into his shop looking all sexy with her red hair and smokin' body, he's completely taken aback that she turns him down for a roll in the hay with no commitment. I mean, no one turns down Dare. But after getting to know each other and seriously wondering if it was ever going to happen, Lila (aka Red), finally agrees to some benefits.
The chemistry between these two is electric. Dare pushes Red's limits both in and out of the bedroom. While the benefits are good, Red is still trying to get her feet settled in a new town with a new job, but most importantly, trying to figure out what the deal is with the Brotherhood and where she fits in. The flow of this book is perfect. The timeline progresses seamlessly and with just the right information to keep you engaged. Is there drama? Hell yeah there is. But I'm not ruining that for you. It's part of being engaged in the story and finding out while you read. Are there hot and steamy scenes? Oh yeah, don't you worry about that. Is there a HEA? Now would I have given it a 5 star rating if there wasn't?
I CAN NOT wait for the next installment to this series!! Why? Because this author created and introduced us to so many wonderful characters both in and out of the Brotherhood that anything can happen. And I'm beyond excited to learn more about these gentle giants of the Brotherhood.
Pick up this book! You won't be disappointed!!!

This was not a simple sweater at all for me as I had never used this type of loom before so that in itself was a challenge. Graciela Worth designed this pattern which was a good challenging one for the class. Thankkfully she is a very patient teacher, as we needed her help quite alot.
I had the most difficulty increasing stitches as it kept leaving a hole. Oh... I also hated seaming the pieces together. I don't think I'll be a sweater maker. Nah! Not me!

Week Sixteen: The History of Senate Bill 71
We've received some constituent calls with questions about Senate Bill 71. The legislation was authored by myself and coauthored by Representative Bennett and would have allowed storage building manufacturers to move product to sales sites or customers for the price of one annual permit, rather than individual permits for individual loads.
Out of 1,369 Senate bill requests, Senate Bill 71 was first known as bill request #7, so you can see that we filed very early. The bill was introduced on January 3, 2013 when it was given the number of Senate Bill 71.
The bill was assigned to two committees on the Senate side: the Public Safety Committee and the Appropriations Committee, where it passed unanimously. The measure and emergency passed on the Senate floor with a vote of 44-0, and the bill was engrossed to the House March 5, 2013.
On the House side, Senate Bill 71 was referred to the Appropriations and Budget Committee (A&B), where it received a unanimous "Do pass" recommendation with the title stricken. The bill passed on the House floor with a vote of 93-0, and was sent back to the Senate April 17 with the title off.
The Senate rejected the House amendments and joint conference was requested. General Conference Committee on Appropriations conferees were named on May 13, where the bill was refused a hearing by the Chair.
We want our small business owners to be assured that we sent numerous requests to the Appropriations Chair asking that the bill be heard in committee. We sent emails and letters, made phone calls and personal visits to the Chair, telling him that all we needed was the title restored.
We filed the same bill last year and were disappointed that it did not pass then and now. Undaunted, we hope to file again next year.
Session is over and I've enjoyed representing you in the Senate this year. Please do not hesitate to contact our office any time and talk to Grace about any concerns you have. You may reach us at 405.521.5576 or email email@example.com.
Until next time,
Senator Mark Allen

Scepticism is growing over the effectiveness of the European Central Bank's efforts to kick-start the economy as concerns over banks' profitability and access to liquid assets take centre stage.
Last week, ECB president Mario Draghi unveiled plans to cut rates on the bank's deposit facility by 10 basis points, bringing it to -0.4 per cent. This means EU lenders effectively have to pay a premium to store money with the central bank.
The ECB also cut its benchmark interest rate by 5 basis points to 0 per cent and expanded its asset purchase programme by €20bn to €80bn, starting from April.
As part of the extensions the ECB will now include non-bank corporate bonds in the asset purchase programme.
Experts say while the stimuli will likely be well received by equity markets, the benefits to the real economy are questionable.
Tilney Bestinvest managing director Jason Hollands argues QE has may have resulted in a "misallocation of capital from the real economy".
While Hollands remains positive on European equities, he says structural reforms to recapitalise the banks, reduce regulatory red tape and cut firms' tax bills are needed to stimulate growth.
Henderson global Investors global equity investment manager Ian Tabberer says the longer term impacts of the ECB announcement are "likely to be complex".
He says: "If these measures lead to a weaker Euro relative to other global currencies, it must be remembered that in a global context this is a zero-sum game. Easing of pressures in one region may be creating pressures in another."
With the ECB pushing further into negative interest rate territory, commentators argue the key uncertainty continues to lie with the ability of banks to supply credit to households and corporates.
Axa Investment Managers senior economist Maxime Alimi says: "The ECB is hoping the additional pressure from a lower deposit rate will incentivise banks to 'play the game' by lending more.
"Recent liquidity operations delivered low take-ups, however. If banks will not or cannot lend more for economic, business or regulatory reasons, they will not be in a position to extend more loans and offset the cost of negative deposit rates. The new package may prove a mixed blessing for earnings."
Insurers may also be a sector to watch, says AJ Bell investment director Russ Mould.
He says: "Holding interest rates down and crushing bond yields may help borrowers but it does not help the insurers who need to generate dependable returns on their portfolios so they can meet their long-term liabilities.
"That said, record-low rates may force consumers to save more so assets under management could at least benefit."
But experts say the corporate bond market is the clear winner from the new ECB measures.
Pioneer Investments head of European fixed income Tanguy Le Saout says demand for corporate bonds could hit €5bn per month.
He says: "This demand will act as a strong support for current spread levels and should see corporate bonds outperforming their sovereign counterparts."
Julius Baer head of fixed income research Markus Allenspach says the ECB's measures will be "constructive" for credit markets, but suggests the central bank may need to purchase "a material percentage of bonds" to make the asset purchase meaningful.
However, Kames Capital fixed income specialist Adrian Hull warns: "With the ECB's decision to start buying corporate bonds, the situation for the banks searching for liquid assets becomes more dire. At this juncture, a lot of questions remain open.
"The latest move of the ECB has failed to give a clear direction to the bond market. We still prefer the US dollar market as the direction of the Federal Reserve seems more predictable to us."

ANAHEIM – If you want to get a sense of what it's like for new Angels Jeremy Moore, Efren Navarro, Andrew Romine and the rest of the September call-ups around baseball, consider this story from Angels pitcher Jerome Williams.
When Williams was a minor leaguer coming up in the San Francisco Giants organization, he got a chance to pitch in a major league spring training game. Felix Rodriguez, a Giants reliever, called him Jeremy. Jerome didn't correct him. So everybody started calling him Jeremy. The entire Giants organization thought his name was pronounced Jeremy.
And, for the first time in his life, Jerome had to answer to Jeremy. For two years.
"I was a young guy! I was scared. I didn't want to tell an older guy anything," he said. That's what it's like to be a rookie in this game.
"Sometimes you have no control," he said, "and you can't do nothing. If I told them they would have yelled at me. I was just a normal young kid being afraid. So I didn't say nothing for a couple of years."
There are a couple of theories. One is that Felix Rodriguez was confusing him with Jeriome Robertson, a young pitcher at the same time with the Houston Astros. (Presumably, Jeriome pronounced his name "Jeremy," or at least Rodriguez thought he did.)
"He had an 'I' in it and I didn't, but they looked the same," Williams said.
The other theory is that the team thought it was a Hawaiian thing. Williams is Hawaiian.
"But it's not even Hawaiian," he said.
Finally, after two years, Williams got up the nerve to talk to pitching coach Dave Righetti.
"Um, what's my name?" he remembers asking. Righetti replied, "Jeremy."
"Actually, it's not," Williams told him. Righetti asked why he had let him call him the wrong name for two years, and he said the same thing that he said Sunday: He was scared.
Nobody on the team mentioned it again. They just started calling him Jerome. Except for Rodriguez, who still calls Williams by the wrong name. Now, for some reason, he calls him Tyrone.
Right-hander Jered Weaver won't start on three days rest this week against Seattle. Instead, Williams will pitch the final game of the series, on Wednesday. Weaver will start Friday against the New York Yankees. Weaver could still pitch on short rest once more this month to get lined up for the final series of the year against the Texas Rangers. …
Trevor Bell was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to bolster the bullpen. The Salt Lake Bees end their season Monday. …
Manager Mike Scioscia said Garrett Richards had good stuff and velocity in his rehab appearances in Double-A Saturday. He likely will rejoin the Angels as a reliever early this week.

22. The End Is Nigh! The Men Have One Of The Last Drinks At 'The Sun Inn' Eastwood Before!!!!!!
This painting shows the town of Eastwood.
As the revolutionaries marched up the hill to Eastwood, their numbers became fewer and fewer as deserters made a dash for it or slid behind hedges without being seen. Once in Eastwood they stopped at the Sun Inn, the landlady, a Mrs Godber begged Isaac Ludlam to leave the march and hide in her cellar.
Ludlam's reply was "No. Many of these starving men are out because I am here. It is too late to return, I must and will go on."
The Artist - Mick Sharp
Hello, My name is Michael (known as Mick) Sharp, not only am I a husband but also father, grand-father and great grand-father.
I am 72 years old and, have always been interested in painting (self taught) in an amateur way since boyhood.
My other interests are brass bands. My father and his father before him also played with different bands in our area from Stanton Iron Works, where my father and I used to work, to my present day band Newmount brass from Derby.
23. Hussars move in for the arrests.
This artists impression represents the village of Giltbrook
As the revolutionaries arrived at The Tanyard at Giltbrook, it was here that the Pentrich Revolution ended. For the leading marchers saw what they had always feared - soldiers. There were only eighteen mounted men of the 15th Regiment of Light Dragoons plus a sergeant and Captain Frederick Philipson, but the effect on the marchers was sensational, the revolutionaries at once began fleeing across the fields to the left and right, throwing their arms away and running to hide from the cavalry.
Around 40 men were seized that morning. Pikes and guns littered the fields as the horsemen galloped after the fleeing marchers, other men were hunted down over the following weeks, the government knew well who had been instigated to rise, and so the revolution ended some twelve hours after it first began.
The Artist - Sandy Hillyer
After many years of painting landscapes I embarked on a Fine Art Degree course graduating in 2000 since then I have won awards for my paintings which have been included in major exhibitions in London, Birmingham and many local galleries. At university I was encouraged to 'loosen up' and work on a large scale and paint spontaneous atmospheric paintings which I found very liberating after many years of painting traditional landscapes.
I enjoy painting big skies and remote beaches or moorland starting with a water colour sketch and photographs I then work in acrylic or oils sometimes working with mixed media, for the past eight years I have held water colour workshops on Saga cruise ships travelling to many parts of the world and meeting some amazing people who also enjoy painting.
To view my paintings go to my website: - www.sandyhillyer.com or email: firstname.lastname@example.com
24. Men waiting in Nottingham.
The Pentrich rebels believed that they were to meet up with thousands of others from across the Midlands and North, on the night of 10th June 1817, at the Forest. This was an area of common land and a racetrack just outside Nottingham.
As it was, one witness at the Derby trial reported that there were no more than 100 Nottingham men assembled "two deep, with pikes and poles" and these were dispersed without violence.
The authorities already knew that the uprising was planned. In fact, their own spies, such as "Oliver", had been actively encouraging it.
Soldiers and militia were already in place ready to attack the rebels before they reached the town.
The Artist - Fiona Ibbotson
Hello, I painted this picture, number 25 of the revolutionaries meeting in Nottingham. I have known the story of the Pentrich revolutionaries for most of my life, but I did not know all of the details. I am inspired by the men's actions and feel that people who stand against inequalities and oppression. Deserve much admiration.
I have been painting professionally since 1986 and I am willing to tackle most subjects in a variety of styles. If you are interested in my work or would like to commission a painting, please call me on 01773 875644 or email me at email@example.com
25. Curate organised a hideout for the men on the run.
The curate for Pentrich at the time of the revolution was Hugh Wolstenholme. Hugh's relative William Wolstenholme, was arrested prior to the revolution preventing a rising in the Sheffield area on 29th May.
Both men were sympathisers to the uprising. Hugh assisted by hiding men in the Pentrich Church bell tower, and then helped them escape.
Hugh Wolstenholme eventually left Pentrich under much pressure and emigrated to America, where he continued to fight such injustices as the slave trade or the lack of education or the boys of America. He set up a small school and one of his first pupils was the then illiterate Andrew Johnson who would later become 17th President of the United States.
When he grew tired of associating with so many people with whom he had little in common, Wolstenholme withdrew to far western North Carolina and built himself a small log cabin against the side of a precipice at the southern end of the Bald Mountain range and died there a hermit.
The Artist - Steve Matthews
Sympathiser Hugh Wolsltenholme was the curate at Pentrich church at the time of the revolution and supported what was going off at that time, he had just had his relation arrested for similar type of involvement in Sheffield.
Hugh Wolsltenholme decided one way he could help was to hide men in various places around the village including the church.
After my grandson used to say can you just draw me this .....
My wife bought me a drawing magazine Jan 2016 so thought I would have a go. So within 6 weeks I was asked if I could do this picture. Only painting I have done before this was painting model soldiers.
This painting represents the hamlet of Lower Hartshay.
Miles Bacon was hidding in the hayloft near the vicarage, food being sent to him by the non conformist minister, when the troopers came into Pentrich. Miles made a run for it, heading down the steep hill towards Hartshay with soldiers hot on his tail. As he reached the canal, he cleared it and the towpath and continued running. He eventually arrived at a farmhouse in Whitwick in Leicestershire where a local farmer assisted him. The farmer's daughter would become his wife in 1821 and she would return to Derbyshire with him.
Miles would have been around eighteen at the time he ran away. By the time he returned to Pentrich, his father, uncle and cousin had all been transported to Australia for their part in the revolution.
On the 1841 census, Miles is reported as being born in Leicestershire as he also is on the 1851 census, by 1861 he must have felt safe enough to place Pentrich as his place of birth.
The Artist - Ray Maslin
Born in Shropshire at a tender age. I moved to Derbyshire in 1968, where I married a Belper lass.
Now divorced and with two lovely daughters I live in Ripley. Born in 1947, I took retirement at 65. My career included labouring in a wood mill, an apprenticeship in a steel rollingmill, owning and running a fruit and veg shop in Ripley, operating an overhead crane at Butterley, managing a tyre depot, becoming an MOT examiner, and after a serious back problem-became a bus driver, then took on a catering business until retirement.
For many years I have held an interest in painting. Most of my abilities are self taught and enjoy detail most of all. Subjects have ranged from classic cars to animals, landscapes to portraits and almost everything in between.
Sylvia Mason gave Ripley Rotary a talk on the Pentrich Uprising, and as a member I volunteered to undertake one of the required disciplines. The
escape of Miles Bacon was quite a challenge as I had never painted a horse and rider before. I hope my efforts with "The One That Got Away" meets with approval.
30. Jeremiah Brandreth before his trial.
"A general insurrection was supposed to have burst forth in June, but several of the Delegates were secured near Sheffield, and the others escaping warned their Towns, and neighbour-hoods from breaking out at that time; no notice however was given to the dis-affected part of our County, namely the Hundred of Scarsdale and that part of the County from Alfreton to Butterley,and Nottingham; they alone were bravely faithful to their Oaths, & wicked purposes; for they commenced the Rebellion precisely at the time appointed, headed by the noted Jeremiah Brandreth.
They took the way to Nottingham, but before they reached it, they were opposed by the Troops, who took several of them, and dispersed the rest, though twice attempted to be rallied in front of the Dragoons by their brave Leader J. Brandreth, who was taken at Nottingham some time afterwards. A Special Commission was issued to try the Rebels at Derby in October, and four of the judges attended. Jerry Brandreth & three others were hanged & beheaded at Derby; several others were convicted, & several pleaded Guilty, who were transported. J. Brandreth was a man of the most undaunted courage and firmness, and possessed every talent and qualification for high enterprise.
He was had been a framework knitter, & latterly a Sailor. He was 28 years old, of short stature, & very dark, with a very strong expression of countenance. He conducted himself extremely well upon his trial. The other Prisoners were common characters. Thus closed this most interesting year."
Excerpt taken from Juror Sir Henry Fitzherbert's diary
The Artist - Margaret Rose
This has been an unusual project for me. As a portrait artist I usually sit in front of the live person for whom I am painting a portrait. Obviously this could not be done for Jeremiah Brandreth. In order to make this painting I have used the black and white pencil sketch drawn in court on the day of the trial as a basis for the head and shoulders colour portrait that I have painted. I have used a colour illustration described as being from a newspaper of the time. I took this as a reference for his clothing but the work is my interpretation of Jeremiah coming out of prison into the daylight to be taken to court on the day of the trial. I wanted to portray him as concerned and worried about his fate but not bowed down. I am very happy to have my paintings included in this tremendous historical research project and to celebrate the 200 year anniversary of the events.
I am an artist concerned with the natural world, inspired by colour play and perception. Living in Derbyshire I work in a variety of media and continually try new approaches. I use printing techniques, I use pastel, water colour, and acrylic as well as oil. I enjoy a challenge and would say that I see my work as a challenge

This artist's impression represents the Yorkshire town of Huddersfield
Men from both the small village of Honley and the town of Huddersfield were both marching down towards Nottingham to meet the Pentrich men. The majority of marchers from Nottingham, Yorkshire and many other areas had been stopped from marching by the arrests of their organisers days prior, allowing only the Pentrich men and a few others to take arms and march; many arrests had taken place in Holmfirth and Sheffield prior to the march to prevent them from rising.
The marchers from Huddersfield numbering some three hundred marched. As two horsemen were spotted coming down Chapel Hill towards the rebels, the leader of the rebels ordered those with guns to kneel on each side of the road on the bridge, facing the town. Captain Armitage, commander of the recently formed Huddersfield Yeomanry, a volunteer body of well-to-do merchants, manufacturers and tradesmen, had been alerted to the suspicious activities at Folly Hall.
The first gun flashed in the pan, but failed to discharge and was followed by a ragged volley. One Yeomanry horse was injured with a wound to the head, but recovered, on Armitage's orders the party galloped back to the town.
Due to the editor of Leeds Mercury revealing the work of Oliver the Spy at the time of their trial the Huddersfield men all were acquitted.
The Artist - John Mosley
John Allen Mosley I am a self taught artist I started painting about 10 years ago, but only in the last few years felt confident enough to show and sell my work. landscapes are my main subject but recently I have been painting animals in pastels.

There were some forty men arrested on 10th June by the Hussars, while many more were arrested later. Men were held at both Derby and Nottingham jails.
George Weightman was captured at the home of Hugh Wolstenholme's relative, William, who was already in prison and William's two sons were also imprisoned.
Jeremiah Brandreth eluded capture for some time. He twice tried to board ships to America unsuccessfully. He was eventually betrayed by Henry Sampson for the price on his head. Sampson tricked him into his house were he was arrested by Constable Benjamin Barnes and four more men on 20 July 1817.
Isaac Ludlam was tracked down in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire around the same time as Jeremiah Brandreth was arrested.
The last two remaining men at large were the Bacon brothers, Thomas and John. They were finally arrested on 18th August in St Ives, Huntingdon after a reward of 100 guineas was placed on Thomas's head.
The Artist - Anne Barnham
I started painting for a relaxing pastime but very soon became totally immersed. I went on workshops and painting courses with several different instructors so I now have a balanced view of the different aspects of watercolour painting.
I admire the work of artists like Edward Wesson, Seago, Constable, Fletcher-Watson to name a few. Every Spring I go painting near Flatford Mill, where I can paint out doors in a variety of situations. Thames barges at Pin Mill, fields at Dedham and cottages and churches at many local villages.
I really enjoy landscapes, the 'big scene' and water, but sometimes I like to have a building or structure of some kind to offset the gentleness or turbulence of nature. The contrast between tones and shapes with deep and clear colours is exciting and I try to convey this in my work.
I teach at home in the studio and also visit Art Groups and Clubs doing demonstrations and workshops. Pen and wash, soluble ink, gouache and very wet in wet are some of the exciting atmospheric mediums that I enjoy. Please visit my web page, just put in Anne Barnham, Artist and I will be there!
Teaching watercolour to a varied range of abilities on Cruise Liners is a wonderful way to spend retirement, we go to a great selection of interesting places!

This artist's impression shows Langley Mill.
On the 10 June 1817, at 6 a.m, the landlady of the Junction Navigation Inn, Mrs Ann Goodman, suddenly found herself confronted by several hundred thirsty men. They told her they meant no harm, were only sticking up for their rights and asked could they have some ale? The men had no sooner drunk their beer and set off in the direction of Nottingham when a group came back with a wounded man, Charles Walters.
Mrs Goodman was informed that he had accidentally been shot and someone asked her to fetch a doctor. Another man then arrived – it was James Hill of South Wingfield – saying he felt faint because he was the man who'd done the shooting.
He had been forced to carry a gun, he said, and it had gone off by mistake.
Samuel Davenport, an Eastwood surgeon was called by George Weightman, who asked him to attend to Walters, nephew of George Turner. Davenport arrived at the place where the wounded man was lying with a wound in his thigh. Once Davenport found out that the men were taking part in a revolution, he hurried home without tending to the patient.
James Turner rode back to Pentrich on Booth's pony to fetch a cart to carry him home. Charles Walters did recover.
The Artist - Norma Gent
Norma is a versatile artist with a wide range of subjects from pet portraits to scenes, from caricatures to family portraits with the odd tractor thrown in.
Flowers are her speciality, Norma has been a professional artist for twenty five years and has exhibited at The Ideal Home exhibiton Derby, Erewash and Chesterfield museums and the BBC Artfile.
She now shares her talent and teaches others her skills with watercolour classes and workshops on a regular basis.

29. "And you shall be taken from this place".
Of the forty five men to stand trial for their parts in the revolution, three were sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered (a sentence later commuted to hanged, drawn and beheaded by the Prince Regent), while fourteen men were transported to Australia, three for fourteen years and the remainder for life.
The trials started on 16th October 1817 at Derby Assizes, and the arrested men were tried not by their peers, but by predominantly rich landowners and farmers.
At the beginning of the trial, it was decreed that no media publication would be allowed until after sentencing. This prevented anyone from coming forwards (as they did in the Huddersfield court case) and declaring the involvement of the government agent provocateur.
John Moore was jailed for two years, Edward Moore and William Weightman were sentenced for one year, and William Hardwick, Alexander Johnson and Charles Swaine were jailed for six months.
Twelve men were tried and freed, while eleven more were charged but not tried.
The Artist - Madeleine Johnson
I am an amateur artist working in watercolours at present. I enjoy particularly drawing and painting wildlife mostly from photographs and hope to develop this further. This was a new and interesting challenge to research and compose my piece for the courtroom scene. I decided on the courtroom scene because I am a solicitor, though now partly retired giving me more time to paint. I read that the Derby courthouse was re-arranged completely for the trial because there would be so many spectators and press. I didn't put the spectators in to keep it simple, so please viewer, imagine that you are sitting with the spectators who are looking down on the scene from your vantage point.
I chose the moment where the Judge pronounced the death sentence on the four main convicted prisoners who are from left to right in the painting - Jeremiah Brandreth, Isaac Ludlam, George Weightman and William Turner. I used contemporary descriptions of them to try and get an idea of how they would look, as we only have the sketch of Jeremiah Brandreth and no drawings of the others. When drawing and painting the four prisoners I felt tremendous empathy with them and am glad to be able to be part of honouring their memory and that of their fellow revolutionaries.
I moved to Derbyshire over 30 years ago to join family in the Belper and Ambergate area and I now live a few miles from Pentrich. It is a real privilege to be asked to contribute to this marvellous endeavour.

Our Beautiful Daughter Kenzi
I can't believe in a few more months our baby girl will be 4 years old! She has never been a poser for me until now!!!!! After a photo session one day I asked her to go with me and take some photos of her and she said YES! We went to a beautiful park in Troy and she was just a posing and smiling away. She has so much personality and is growing into her own self. Where has our baby girl gone. She loves to dance, help and play with her baby brother and loves to snuggle. She likes to play dress-up and be read to.

One of the benefits (if you can call it that) of chemically-enhanced produce is that it grows bigger, faster and cheaper than organic produce. But the risk factor involved is just too much for some people to live with, and thus they attempt to grow their own produce organically. If you fit this bill, check out these gardening tips.
Make use of an old golf bag to carry your tools such as spades and rakes around your garden. You will save a lot of time and effort (and you'll have an excuse for a new golf bag!). The bag will keep them all together, so no more lost tools either. Many golf bags even have a stand, in this case you won't have to worry about it tipping over and causing an accident.
Before planting anything, clean up as much as possible the area where you plan on having flowers or any other delicate plants. Remove all the weeds and the grass if you think it is necessary. Your flowers should not have any competitors for the nutrients they need while they grow.
Read the packages your seeds came in! Every seed is different. Some can be planted year round while others can only be planted at certain times. Some seeds need ten hours or more of sun a day, and others need much less. Before you impulse buy a seed package based off of the picture, take the time to know what you are getting into.
Consider using your garden to grow some kitchen herbs. Herbs such as basil, mint, parsley, coriander, rosemary and dill, are essential to many dishes, but they can be very expensive to purchase in the shops. These culinary herbs, however, are very cheap and easy to grow in your own garden.
Plant seedlings on cloudy days. The cloud cover will help protect your new seedlings from the heat and radiation of the sun. This extra protection gives them a better shot of survival than if they were planted on a hot, sunny day. If your seedlings were being grown out of direct sunlight when you purchased them, be especially careful about exposing them to direct light.
Clean your garden tools before you put them away. It seems strange to worry about keeping a gardening tool clean, but it's actually very important for the health of your plants. Tools that are put away while coated in dirt can harbor microbes and even insects that can be deadly to your plants.
When you get new plants for your garden, make sure you are meeting their sun requirements. Some plants prefer low sun and shady areas, while other plants require full sun in order to thrive. Giving your plants the wrong light level can cause them to wilt and die too soon.
If you grow roses or rosebushes, spray them with a solution of 1/3 cup powdered milk in about a quart of water once a week or so. The powered milk solution will be sticky on the leaves and stems of your roses which will trap aphids and protect your roses.
Purchase an inexpensive gardening kneeling pad, as well as a wheelbarrow or wagon. Get a portable stool if you want to garden comfortably without damaging your knees. In addition, maintaining a garden typically means moving around heavy dirt and other objects, which makes buying a wheelbarrow a very smart purchase.
Keep your gardening tools organized. You do not want to trek out to your garden, only to realize you do not have everything you need with you and need to hunt your tools down. Keep small tools in a tool belt that you can grab and throw on easily or keep them in a 5-gallon bucket that you can carry out to your garden, quickly.
Abandon mass plantings to make your flower garden more personal. Mass plantings in every flowerbed have a tendency to make a landscape look like it belongs to a hotel or a corporate office building. Border plants and pockets of similar plants will give the same effect of a mass planting without being impersonal.
Plant your own seeds to guarantee organic produce. Sowing your own vegetable seeds gives you the comfort and assurance that your produce has been grown organically from seed to table. Choose plants that are easy to germinate such as broccoli, cabbage, basil and tomatoes. Find out the best time of the year to sprout your chosen produce.
Mass-produced food will always have its own advantages, but it may not be worth it to you or your family to risk your health for a few extra dollars in savings. If you decide to grow organically, however, you can save hundreds while ensuring that everything you eat is fresh and healthy. Just use these tips to help you grow.

My name is Erin and I take pictures. Over the past year and a half, I have fallen deeply in love with the process of creating from behind the camera. There are few things in life that thrill me more than photography thrills me and creating beautiful things out of the simple moments is what I am drawn to.
If you are drawn to the real moments, the in-betweens, and the moments caught off guard, I think we will make a great team. If you think so too, then let's chat and make something beautiful together.

How to Chose the Right Race Suit
Updated FIS Race Suit Rules
Customarily is has been the responsibility of the athlete to send their race suit to a National Association to test for porosity and FIS compliance. A little metal tag called a "plomb" was attached to the leg of the suit after passing the test. Beginning 2016/17 season, a new marking method will be used in the form of a printed logo on the back of the leg of approved suits.
Either method will be accepted through the end of the 2017/18 season. Beginning with the 2018-19 FIS race season all suits must have a FIS logo printed on the back of the left leg. Race suits with a plomb will no longer be acceptable at FIS races. See FIS SPECIFICATIONS FOR COMPETITION EQUIPMENT AND COMMERCIAL MARKINGS for full details.
Note: FIS Race Suit Rules only apply to U19 Athletes (16 years of age) and up.
Sizing of Race Suits
Speed suits fit by our size charts will initially be quite snug and require assistance stretching over the shoulders. However, the fabric "relaxes" after several uses to conform comfortably to your body. A new suit sized for initial comfort will stretch out and become oversized after the "break-in" period.
Race Suit Fabric
These highly elastic knit fabrics are not as abrasion resistant as woven fabrics. Contact with abrasive surfaces such as Velcro should be avoided. Prints on these fabrics are usually done on a white base and only penetrate the surface of the material. Some of the underlying white may show through areas of stretch. "Wear and Tear" is normal in stretch fabrics and may include pilling, cuts from ski/snowboard edges, and fabric burns from hitting gates at high speeds.

Like it or not, online dating is here to stay. It has become the increasingly common way that singles, everywhere, can meet their matches in our fast-paced modern world.
Studies report almost 25% of couples meet online, with those numbers increasing each year. Gone are the days, when there was a stigma attached to online dating, when you'd be ashamed to admit you met that special someone over the internet. If there was any doubt left that it wasn't normal to meet someone online, the world's most recent viral dating app, Tinder, put an end to it, when it drew in the last resistors in Generation-Z.
Still, despite the online dating revolution, there are plenty of people, who jumped on it – only to jump straight back off. There are many more failure stories, when it comes to online dating, than success stories. Why is it that some people are able to hit the nail on the head with online dating, while most others seem to tragically miss out?

text: Falling Into Infinity was released in 1997 and marked a shift to a more accessible mainstream direction for Dream Theater. Each song still a masterpiece of musical ingenuity, song structures are trimmed down to a greater effect – sticking in your head after one spin. John Petrucci is ripping it up with groovy riffs and mesmerizing solos while singer James LaBrie shows a vocal range that is second to none. "Burning My Soul" made it to a single, hitting the 33rd mark on the US Mainstream Rock charts. To complete this epic package, the sleeve art bears a mysterious, instantly recognizable Storm Thorgersson design. We're proud to say this is the first ever vinyl release of Falling Into Infinity!

REACTION: Roxanne Pallett's Jeremy Vine Interview
Roxanne Pallett, after walking from the Celebrity Big Brother house on Friday night, has just made her first media appearance and interview on the brand new Jeremy Vine show (on Channel 5, funny that).
Before I even get in to what she said, I'd like to make a point. One of the panelists (who admits he's never seen the show, Big Brother or Celebrity Big Brother and therefore doesn't have the first clue what he's talking about) in the interview accused Big Brother of essentially creating this drama on purpose and profiting from it.
I would like to make it very clear that Big Brother are not the ones who wanted Roxanne Pallett on the Jeremy Vine show, and they are certainly not the ones who want her back on THEIR show tonight to be interviewed by Emma Willis. Read the rest of this entry

The Financial Constraints Fallacy
Or… The Article I Should Have Written. If you've no idea what I'm referring to – great! I don't want to rehash drunken prose.
I do want to dig into 'financial constraints'. An often used buzzword to describe Arsenal's timid and shackled treatment of talent acquisition in recent years.
The key question – Is it a good business decision to limit investment in your product based upon debt?
Well, that greatly depends upon what that debt is. If you've been borrowing to keep the lights on and you continue to bleed money, you may have no choice. But what if you're borrowing to expand and improve the company; do you let your product go stale (curtail investment) while you do it? Most businesses would say absolutely not. Most businesses have consistent Research and Development investment regardless of debt or whatever else is going on. Its considered key to their company, key to their product, too precious to let go stale or allow competitors to surpass.
Arsenal chose to curtail investment – and I believe wrongly. And even if you think it was right – it wasn't even accomplished consistently. Let us take a look at Arsenal's transfer spending – or R&D budget (of course its not the be all end all of 'R&D' spending, there is an Academy, but this is the variable and the bulk of it when used properly).
Looking at the Arsenal Annual Reports as far back as available online (2004-2013), I've charted revenue and transfer spending below. (Transfer spending looks differently in the Annual Reports than some would think – transfer fees sometimes have conditions on them. The Annual Reports show exactly how much money changed hands that season – other sources will apply the entire fee (if they know it) to that season, sometimes unaware of conditions).
What we can see is a rise in revenue, but a decline in transfers. Given the scale it may be hard to see, so lets look at it as most companies do – as a percentage of revenue…
What is now more readily apparent is the decline in player acquisition investment over the years. Probably no surprise to Arsenal watchers, but this would be a startling chart to most businesses. Most businesses would find this trend unacceptable and would not allow it to happen. A company like General Electric keeps a rather consistent 4% R&D budget no matter if they are building a new facility, factory, or purchasing new equipment. A company that depends more on R&D like Intel, about 15% – again, even when building new factories or updating manufacturing lines. Arsenal should not have let this fall as it did.
And what about prior to 2004? I'd love to get a better look. If anyone has reliable information please let me know where it is. What I did do was get reliable revenue numbers back to 1999 (overlapping years tracked accurately with Arsenal Annual Reports so the early years should be trustworthy as well). But now I have to use other transfer sources than Arsenal Annual Reports – transfer sources that will disagree and not match up to annual cash flow as reported by Arsenal. But even when looking at this – the trend remains true – a decline in investment in talent acquisition.
On the left is transferleague.co.uk numbers, on the right is arsenaltransfers.com. Same trend.
"But but but – we built a new stadium!" Oh I know, I haven't forgot. I don't mean to brush it off, only to highlight that most successful companies would not do it this way. Sure, the stadium build was more substantial to Arsenal than perhaps a new factory is to Intel. It would be like Intel replacing all of their factories at once. A little apples and oranges here. So, lets take a look at this stadium debt.
Going back to Arsenal Annual Report information only, I've added some more data points to the chart – Net Debt, and Wages. (Net Debt was used because Total Debt was not consistently reported on as far as I could see, and Net Debt takes assets into account, which is fair. It also trended the same when both were reported). Lets take a look:
The orange line shows the increase in Net Debt as the stadium was being built, moves made, and enhancements added. Pretty sizable to be sure – so what were the impacts? To get things under control we must have got the wage bill down, it dwarfs a transfer budget after all… Nope, as we can see the wage bill increased at a nominal rate that we would expect – debt be damned. Good.
We already know that transfer investment dropped, and we assume it was because of debt. But if we look closely, we had debt, and increasing debt, from 2004-2007. But in those years we continued to invest in talent (green line more than 0). How did we do this? Didn't we have crushing debt? Heck the revenue just started climbing and now we stop investing? What gives?
It was like an OMG! collectively went off and we stopped, dropped into a fetal position, and began muttering to ourselves. Save a January Arshavin purchase in '09, we've spent F%$# all from '07 until Ozil. Certainly this had to be because of that crushing debt. Well perhaps not, once again – that debt was significantly reduced, to pre-2004 levels, in 2010. Surely that meant the shackles should have come off and talent acquisition investment begin anew! But no, it did no such thing. We continued to shout 'financial constraints' from the rooftops, foolishly. So many drank the Kool-Aid. Why was it OK in '04, '05, '06, '07 – but in 2010 and beyond, with increased revenue and less debt, we're under financial constraints?
Was this all emotional based decision making? They didn't change their minds until the bill breached 300M – in a OMG! moment. And failed to change them back again well after it wasn't 'crushing' anymore – still wounded from the aforementioned OMG! moment. Emotional creatures we are, but when running a business – leave that at the door.
And where is the consistency? Why was it OK to increase the wage bill? To keep our players, to compete with market prices perhaps? But then why not do that with transfers as well? Its a pretty small number in the grand scheme of things after all. Curtailing talent acquisition should have been the last purse string pulled shut. It has direct impact on your product.
In my opinion we never should have allowed talent acquisition to lapse as it did, debt be damned. Its our only product. It requires care and feeding. We also should not allow this 'financial constraint'… well, …bullshit, to persist. Its no excuse, not even a bad one.
This is no critique of what we did do – we brought in great players, just not quite enough. We performed admirably… and here it is again… 'with what we had'. The other phrase that gets under my skin. 'With what we had' == 'financial constraints' == 'tight purse strings' – and they're all poor, broken excuses. Poor, broken excuses for people that should have performed better (The Board, Arsene Wenger – all culpable).
Naturally there is no guarantee that this investment would have resulted in trophies. But even being in the hunt a little longer, finishing a little higher, getting a round deeper in competitions – would have reaped some benefits. Arsenal would have resonated even more globally. Commercial deals would have been more lucrative. Attracting new talent even easier. We could have come out even better than we have. And it was a failure in decision making that has limited us – not debt. They didn't have to do it, they choose to do it. And not even in a reasoned manner.
I hope these days are behind us. I hope this summer's failed pursuits as much as Ozil success, are indicators that this paralyzing fear of debt has, at long last, been overcome.
Top of the table! Up the Arsenal!

So I've kinda been seeing this guy….his name is Joe. I would be lying if I didn't say it was love at first sight; he's absolutely dreamy. In fact, I just got back from a little day date with him…MAN my head is still spinning!
Trader Joe: You stole my heart a LONG time ago and I don't think I'll ever get it back…and thats OK with me 😉 .
If you are lucky enough to live in an area that has been touched by the golden hands of Mr. Joe, you know what I'm talking about! Just when you think things couldn't get better in that neck of the woods…BAMMMM he slaps you in the face with a rad new product (can you say COLD PRESSED COFFEE anyone!?).
Usually my cart is filled with the same suspects, but every once in a while I'll live on the edge and try something new (9 times out of 10, I don't regret that decision). Unfortunately I am not able to try all the glorious goodies on the shelves because I have learned over the years that I have a very sensitive stomach. Veering too far from the norm is never any fun in the long run, so I tend to stick by what I know will sit well.
That being said I thought I'd share a few of my favorite grabs when I'm sweeping through on a grocery rendezvous:
Well, there you have it folks…I think my guy Joe is pretty GROOVY and hopefully if you get a chance to try these little gems you will too!!
…I'm off to go change my Facebook relationship status to 'its complicated' …because I know Joe is probably flirting with cuties like you too!!!
