She could have gone around me, but it had to be over me. I received several heavy punches from her large paws as she progressed the length of my body as if pursued by something from the very gates of hell. Which, I suppose, from her point of view, she was. As Doris grew from a cute puppy into a giant teddy bear and continued to steal hearts and slippers, Richard received a devastating life threatening diagnosis and their lives changed forever. Can he prove all a man needs to survive is the love of a good woman, a boat and a delinquent dog?

On December 20, 2010, Congress enacted the most sweeping changes in the estate tax law in 29 years. People who have already begun (or though they had completed) their estate planning now need to review their estate plans in order to determine if their plans still help them. For people who have not begun the estate planning process, there is no better time to start. Estate Planning After The New Tax Law covers the basics and all of the complexities of estate planning. Using practical examples drawn from real life, the book examines the fundamentals of avoiding the probate of a decedents estate and reduction of estate taxes, starting with the basic tool, the living trust. The book avoids jargon and legalese, but does not skimp on the intricacies of estate planning law and practice.

In a land occupied for thousands of years, mystery and unrest linger. Anguished soldierly figures dot the landscape of Pasco County, from the doomed march of Major Dade and his haunted hill to the ghost of Captain Jeffries standing watch over his homestead in Zephyrhills. A pair of spirits drifts about near a Dade City pond, perhaps the brother and sister cut down during the infamous Bradley Massacre. Echoes of the once rugged frontier rebound from the Ellis-Gillett feud, vigilantism and Sheriff Bart's justice. Obliterating the mounds of indigenous people cast an ever-present and ominous tone over sacred grounds throughout the county. Author Madonna Wise shares ethereal accounts of the Meighan Theatre, the treacherous Road to Nowhere, the Edwinola Hotel and more.

This is an exciting story about a newspaper reporter who risked his life on countless occasions in Nanking, Singapore, and Manila to provide people throughout the world with riveting coverage of the war in Asia. Author Jack Torry spent two and a half years reading hundreds of the subject's newspaper articles, examining scores of letters written by McDaniel's parents and sister, going through personal letters he wrote during the war, and reviewing extensive interview notes in the Library of Congress. McDaniel was the last reporter to leave Singapore before its fall to the Japanese in 1942. He escaped on one of the last ships leaving Singapore, and when it was sunk by Japanese aircraft, he and 130 others had to survive on a deserted island.
