~Under the Same Moon~
Our days are different, living under the same moon
Down here in TEXAS, life carries a different tune
This world spins on its lovely axis
Listening to our Tex-Mex of our English lexis
We share a world made with the trust of God's hand
Revealing the beauty that life continue to expand
Don't underestimate our football image of our Cow Boy land
A mysterious Mockingbird only we Texans understand
Surrounded by the sweetest Pecan trees
The Northern Winters come in like a breeze and a tease
We also have them Blue Bonnet fields that come and go
Tell me about CANADA, what makes its motion flow?
Branded like a Long Horn, with my Lone Star State pride
How about you, CHRIS A. What's up on your side?
Chris D.Aechtner
Different lives, different lands, living under the same moon,
waking up to the ghostly calls of the wild loon.
Look upon mountains and forests stretching into infinity-
mighty Sequoias and tall Douglas firs stand majestically.
I could offer stereo-typical images of hockey, snow and moose,
or sockeye salmon, maple syrup and the great Canadian goose,
but we Canucks are becoming tired of idly standing by
as the rest of the world dips its fingers into our Northern pie.
We are a nation of peaceful, open-minded hospitality,
shying away from brutality by offering liberal neutrality.
Before I blow my top as my strong emotions collide,
I should definitely step away from my nationalistic pride,
and ask about the Philippines and its tropical flair-
how about you Nikko, what is happening over there?
Oceans away, here I am, living under the same moon
Sun's rising over there; here, dish runs away with the spoon
My sleep is whacked, so I'm wide awake when you are,
amazing how we can all be in one place even if we're all very far
Where islands form the shape of an old man, waters hug our shores
Tropical Paradise here, when you explore the great outdoors
Awesome sunsets, bountiful fiestas, the warmest smiles to greet you...
We here just love to eat when there's nothing else to do!
Colorful rice cakes, freshest seafood, the most succulent mangoes~
Sunny days or rainy days, the creativity here just flows.
Resilient. This is a word that pops to mind when I think of us Filipinos-
We bend and bounce back, no matter how hard the wind blows.
This is just a sneak peek, but I'd love to know more about Utah
Care to share what's on your side, my dear friend Andrea?

In shadows' veils, at end of night,
sweet Moon removes her modest light
and softly, yet again, exhales -
at end of night, in shadows' veils.
As she departs, her love's released
to climb the stairway to the east.
They cannot meet to share their hearts.
Her love's released as she departs.
She watches him while hid from view,
the way he kisses morning's dew,
and sees gold rays spill from his rim.
While hid from view, she watches him.
Sad Moon, alone for centuries,
with awe has watched Sun leave, cerise.
while she, afar. . . how cold she's grown!
For centuries, sad moon alone.
She takes his place so he may rest.
And though forlorn, she's always dressed
in lace, for Luna has great grace.
So he may rest, she takes his place.
For love of night, for love of day,
she can't implore him that he sway
from course. To be apart's their plight.
For love of day, for love of night.
By Andrea Dietrich/ This poem took first place in Shadowpoetry's annual Shadows Ink Contest from 2008. It appears in the Shadows Ink Poetry Chapbook, Series 2, Volume 5. As a result of that win, I received a chapbook deal worth around $300 at that time. (30 free copies with publication over at Shadowpoetry).
Also, I entered it into my second PoetrySoup International Contest since I had joined Soup earlier in the year of 2010. It got an HM with a certificate. Soup no longer has their big Soup contests chosen by their staff. An HM was actually a really nice thing in those days because the contest was a HUGE deal and out of hundreds of members, there were only ten to twenty total winners. 2010 was probably my best year at PoetrySoup, and my win with this poem in July of 2010 was one of the reasons for that. I am forever grateful for the recognition I received from this poem.

Inside a knowledge turning cogs on this wheel
born from the darkness a heart rules supreme
fear in one wish looking towards tunnel light love
All that will remain when all turns to dust threads of life dance
kneeling weak alone humble and meek finding a balance
Weeping rivers flow haunting sea waves turn the key
truth is something beautiful touching deeply chords
Chilling whispers rise warm oasis warmly embraces hold
creeping inside beauty beams within shadows
Dancing starlight kissing ocean reflections twinkle
sparkle glisten teardrops coldly ripple out
Floating on a cloud of breath precious beauty
a mystery that means something special
finest mother of pearl gem coloring rainbow jewel shines forever
Frozen dew quicksilver lining echoes time answers always
cold as ice crystals dazzling diamond stillness pure
Frosted vision clear cutting ivory white one cool snowflake falls
baptism in regal glowing crowning full face splendor enchants a ball
walking along golden strands looking across the sea midnight strikes
Sleepless nights held over and back destiny calls your name
utopia faraway dreaming our love complete

The moon falls out like a secret above the frisky clouds
Daylight and night the stars come in crowds
Like a glistening diamond, I can't stop staring
Mixed-up in that moment that has no time sharing
Holding onto the tip of the tree limbs like a puppeteer
I can hear the words the moon whispers into my ear
I will illuminate into a world only I know of
My very own little secret sparkling island getaway
A world where beauty hides the beast
I'll be the only exile under a sunless night feast
I'm going to pass on all my secrets away---
As I have on my dreaming moonlit gear
Comfort upon this mundane wonder, astronomical sphere.
I looked one last time at the mooned night
I will close my eyes, and find myself in a box kite flight.
I will lay myself down to sleep,
Not allowing my imagination to rinse off with wild sheep
Like a Nightingale, I rather sit and serenade myself to sleep
With the refreshing thought, the moon is like the pillow I keep
In this mad, mad world!
The moon seems to be the only object that holds it's sanity
Arousing me with it's inner peace and spirituality
On the balcony I stand this moonlit night
Behind me she sleeps content within sight
If I stand to my left, allowing the moons pass
This lunar beam delights my beautiful lass
Dark haired, tanned, amidst silken white sheets
Two loves of my life in glowing right meet
Open doors where I stand this moonlit night
It's I whom she sees in the morn's first light

Shine, Mediterranean Selene
unique goddess of this dark life
glow with pride and forget the strife
all my nights are lonely and serene.
I'm yours, only yours, pure and clean
and although your distrust is rife
soon, so soon... you'll become my wife
believe these words of sacred mien.
Do not let envy plant those seeds
of fear, of jealousy and spite
from the demons come those breeds
whose gossip and lies seek our fight
They're who expect your heart concedes
to steal what lives just for your light.

I look to the Moon, hanging aloft
Among the clouds so milky soft.
How must it feel, so high above?
So chilled and bleak and void of love.
Collapsed and sunken are his eyes,
Dark and deep as the onyx skies.
As the Moon shies from the sun,
I share no love with anyone.
The Moon is alone, without affection.
In its grim face is my reflection.
Inside my heart, the longing grows,
And rots my soul, a sickly rose.
While I look beyond this cage,
I clench my fists; they shake with rage.
I desperately stare above,
Wishing to fly, free as a dove;
For release from the troubled heart I claim,
To be finally rid of the madness and shame.
Although reprieve is found in song,
To no one does my soul belong.
In music, may the pleas be spoken,
But all in vain; the heart is broken.
The Sphere returns, begins to sigh.
We are not so different, You and I.
So twisted and fractured is the White Stone.
We both have no one; We are both all alone.

~Moon & Sea~
Hey boy won't you open that door?
Let's sing and walk by the shore
Come and spread out your eyes
Block looking for reasons, and whys?
The cosmos are more than a space to explore
Don't hide when I need.... Plus more.
Finish playing a master in disguise!
Lets find the perfect sunrise, sunset surprise.
Put your arms around me
Allow your moon to reflect off my sea
Too much time has passed you by
Come outside with and view the horizon up high
I've got my eyes set upon you
There's no need to feel blue
Hey boy comes, climb up this tree!
I'm going to show you all the things you can't touch, you can't see.
Lets fit the luxury and beauty of this world into our play.
Don't say them words that will set me free to walk away.
Take this kiss and see how it feel deep within your heart.
Close your eyes in my garden, and draw with the fragrance of art
I want to take you into that space, astronomy love.
Making it easy to float with the clouds way up above.
Glide away from the blame of gravity and self destruct.
Bounce of the dust of hurt when you fall and get cut.
Boy, let's hold in this perfect air together.
Leave the cold end of someone else's weather.
Follow me beyond the distance of chemistry.
I will expose your moon and explain the physics of my sea.
Give it another chance and you will see!
Your moon, is skin deep, needing water from me.
Turn on the tune in your heart, and listen to me.
In every sunrise, the moon entwines with the sea.
On summer hills I watched you
I know you watched me too
Every night you waited for me
Every night I came to you
From shallow oceans I have risen
On silver chariots traveled high
Crossed everlasting spaces
which filled your empty sky
Soothing manna showered your lips
from the radiance of my light
Crazy love I poured in your heart
on each lone and serene night
Humble shepherd boy Endymion
You haven't chosen death,nor life
In eternal sleep you've slumbered
and made of me your wife
You must have been a poet
with a will to live our dream
with a want to preserve passion
for the last abiding crescent
of the evanescent moon Selene.
Inspired by the Greek myth of Selene,goddess of the moon and Endymion
and by beautiful poetry.

A young man leads his girlfriend to a tree
one sultry summer eve as night is looming.
the branches of the old oak form a canopy
under which he leans in for a kiss, assuming
his new love also feels their romance blooming.
The pretty girl is innocent and shy,
but from the boy's sweet kiss she feels that he
might be her one true love; more kisses make a sigh
escape her lips. Her inhibitions flee,
and touching him arouses her curiosity.
Aglow, they feel a passion all-consuming,
undressing one another as fingers fly.
The curious moon, with incandescence blooming,
peeks down from a star-bedazzled sky.
Young love with moon above shall never die.

and now for A true love -poem #2 - Poetry Contest of poet destroyer A
Late at night
on our favourite bench
we sit beside the shimmering lake
as hand in hand we talk in mellow undertones;
wrapped in moonlight's embrace we kiss, a taste of burgundy lips,
hearts beating to the rhythm of the lapping waves – a lovers' serenade.

A chalky moon rises, from still air, drawn on
smooth, blue-black paper sky. A New Year's eve
like this, seems too calm to be real, to feel
nothing but peace; snow covers tree branches
like fleece, yet I am warmed by a fire inside,
wrapped tight in the starry glow of tomorrow's
promise. As this year's memories glide across
my heart, all the love flows through me like oxygen,
beginning with the purest breath of youthful
innocence, me and you, under a diamond-cut
crescent moon. Many picturesque nights
have come and gone since then - the me and you
now we - a family. Somewhere a clock chimes
twelve times, when your first kiss of the new year
wakes me from my nostalgic dreams, my joy returns
to the moment, a new year, new memories,
a love more real, more true, than the chalky moon.

Twas a full moon shining on a cool summer night
And hound dogs were howling at its silver shadowed light.
I heard but a whisper on the cool evening breeze,
Twas the voice of a woman I used to chase and tease.
Our love was forever, at least I used to think it so.
Then came the day she left me; I wondered, where'd she go?
If true love lasts forever, was this love not for me?
I heard an answer on the wind - Son, your true love is she.
A true love will always linger in the shadows of your heart
Even when the one you love has chosen to depart.
True love is the love you gave, no matter what the cost
It will return to you again, for it is never lost.
Like a full moon shining on a cool summer night
With placid waters glistening in its silver shadowed light
Love comes like a whisper on a cool evening breeze
A gentle touch, a soft caress, a rustle in the trees.
There is no bitterness in the past, if your love was true
The sweetness in the memory is true love's gift to you
A rising sun or new full moon is not a memory
And so will love come once again, if you let it be.
Twas a full moon shining on a cool summer night
And hound dogs were howling at its silver shadowed light
I heard but a whisper on the cool evening breeze,
Twas the voice of love's song...answering my pleas.

Bloom not, cruel wolfsbane
In this forward spirit of mine
Let the moon dim and wane
For love has diseased my kind
The girl was luscious in the wake
Rising at break of dawn
If only she knew I was a mistake
Before we made the bond
I grew fond of her everyday
And night gave me loathe and dread
My heart was weak, I couldn't send her away
But fed in her desires instead
I kissed her in the forest of green
I had forgotten what I am
I gazed into those eyes, so keen!
A smooth and gentle lamb
One day I stopped to think a bit
My stomach wrenched and twirled
Through love I had lost my sense and wit
To a pitiful village girl!
Avoiding her best I could
I hid from beauty's caresses
But again she found me in the wood
And so grew the obsession
But so grew the moon
And the waning was abstaining
Good night, wonders of the noon
With memories remaining
Alone I wandered in the cold
Knowing it was coming
The sky grew dark, the sun was sold
Behind the madness blooming
Transforming! Changing!
My mind went all a blur
Rage deforming! Madness deranging!
I couldn't think of her…
The time was gone!
The night had come!
I thought I was alone
But then I saw her standing there
Pale and stiff as stone
I woke up that dawn sitting there
On the forest floor
And there lay she all bloodied and bare
The lamb that I adore!
The wounds I found were like a gift
I know they were from my girl
I'm glad she fought her will to live
As I blindly devoured her
An honorable lamb with bloodied hooves
She'll never leave my vision
Sacrificed for ravenous wolves
And no cry for jurisdiction
Bloom not cruel wolfsbane
In this forward spirit of mine
Let the moon dim and wane
For love has diseased my kind
-an oldie , hehe

At different times
in separate beds
we sleep to forget
Sunset is sunrise
and nobody cares
There it's sunny
and here it rains
who needs rainbows
if no one cares?
The Moon dust
will not fall
That's that!
Who cares?
Just drowned coins
a cracked glass
feeble stars
Where's the Moon dust?
Where're the arrows?
Where's the fairy?
Where's our strong faith?
A distance that drowns
through forbidden dreams
we wait for the Moon
to sleep and forget
and nobody cares!
Medicine of this soul faraway with a dream seventh Heaven looking across a sea
the other night went for a walk strolling against a cold wind distant thoughts
Crying seagulls on the beach looking around even snow lying in the sand
it was quite an awakening cold cutting ice wind blowing across the brow
Listening to the echoing roars crunching of great cliffs tasting salted air
waves crashing thunder I thought of you as the surf sprayed on shores
Oh the moon as the winds howl laying golden whispers your name landing wishes fall on a star sparkling beams Heaven you came to me under a crystal blue white light
An angel fallen who found one miracle lost in this world drunken in the chalice of love
each drop dripping passion adoring loves beauty forever and always
Above a cloud, in soundless, still tumescence,
a goddess rests; below her is the sea.
A strip of it is rippling luminescence,
a path of light in night's serenity.
A solitary boat now passes through
the lane of radiance. One man regards
the sky and ocean, both a cobalt blue,
and ponders inspiration of the bards.
For what could man want more than such as this -
-the tranquilness of dark in Luna's glow!
At times he longs to taste a woman's kiss
though he embraced this life so long ago. . .
His gaze is fixed on her who shines above.
He chose the sea. . . and moon became his love.

As Midnight Moon Shines Upon Her Eyes
In a dream world where fantasies abound
shall be where my princess is found
Wrapped in her vision an angelic choir
cherubs singing her heart's desire
Her voice soothes every hearing soul
spreading happiness her daily goal
As midnight moon shines upon her eyes
a thought comes to me so very wise
Surely she could come to me down here
easing my hurt, wash away my fear
A soft gentle touch to my spirit renew
help me find a love any man is due
In a dream world such fantasies exist
your heart's desire, anything on your list

Note, 1/27/2015 - Modern sonnet, written when my soul was lost
and seeking the path back into happiness, back into a world devoid of misery, heartache and pain.
That night I bowed my head and asked for help. Best decision I ever made.
For in faith I had then put my trust , over that of my foolish vanity and insufferable pride!
Now looking back, I see the answer came ever so swiftly..
This poem comes from my "private collection" (intended for my children) after my demise and
is now presented for the first time for others to read..
That night I dreamed of a dark hair angel that came to me and helped me return to the world of the living.
Thats her in my picture given here. My wife now of ten beautiful and happy years!
Bountiful extra blessing of a beautiful son we now share !

She's going outside her comfort zone
Why would she leave her safe cell
Life has come with promises from the birth moment
Of a light at the end of the tunnel
The pain that ruin causes falls deep into the darkness
There is no need to be afraid
Every day and every night
Refuse to love, nightmares and dark shadows from the past
A constant fight ensues between her heart and mind
No questions nor any answers ... emptiness
She lets the cold breeze guide her thoughts
Moments define themselves regardless
Right here helpless, silent and breathless
Dreaming by candlelight and paper lanterns
Brilliantly defined and silhouetted, and so brightly lit
When the curtains open and music plays
Fluttering wings of magic sails on cloud nine
Flashing golden memories held within the dome
Happiness enchanting spells a heavenly rays smiles
Open arms warmly embracing sighs inside waves turn keys
One song faraway rising tides brushing sands
In the basin seed of love nourished with beauty
Eden's fruit once bitten when rose blossoms
Sweetly summer sun dances in the horizon
Kissing beams drifting faraway holding paradise
Walking inside the moonlight shadows of daydreams
Winds whispering honey coating chants your tune

Tonight I searched the starry skies
looking for the moon
In the umbra of the Earth
it's lunar limbs were strewn
Rays of light were dripping
reflecting off the sea
A glimpse of heaven was what I saw
shining down on me
I hadn't seen such a sight
since your vision in my dreams
Those soft brown eyes
that killer smile
hair flowing like the streams
In the distance a falling star
is sparkling in the night
I close my eyes and make a wish
that one day you'll be in my sight
We'll sing and dance
under the starlit skies
holding each other tight
as we gaze in each other's eyes
When the night does come
and all our dreams come true
You'll be my forever, everlasting,
evermore, just me and you

The mystery of a night sky
Moonlit and starstruck
I peered over your shoulder
Masterpiece was taking shape
You turned and smiled
And I was instantly taken
I'd never met anyone like you
Relaxed, yet intensely skilled
Your talent a ceaseless fountain
In humility, you asked my thoughts
I buried my inhibitions that night
I told you that you fascinate me
That I was awed by your beauty
That I wished you were my girl
Finally, you interrupted me
And said, "I meant about my art"
Oh my, I was deeply embarrassed
I quickly said, "It's so amazing!!!"
I was trying to think of more
When you leaned in and kissed me
Our first of so many moments
Some awkward, most glorious
The mystery of a night sky

Touching fingers off
deep fire melting tips
sweetly burning brushes
inside warmly walls
Within four chambers
echoes whispering silently
softly desires warm when skipping a beat
Oh you talk the words
of the sweetest golden honey
intoxicating mead
The drunken spirit dancing
swoons just in thoughts alone
In what you said darling
I blame you smiling
you're a regal beauty
Whom I will kiss
hovering gently over your fingertips
softly holding one's vision
A flame left under the silver moon
dancing with you're shadow of my soul
one firefly beaming beautiful
In the night sky a light from you
shines in each passing new moon
takes a step closer
just to know all the right words to say darling
I'll kiss you till you're calm and then you would be mine..
or maybe i'll wait for the star
to shine upon that beautiful day
a soul orbits
looking into space
searching beyond
staring at
an orange full
cold moon
rising peacefully
into the sea of tranquility
floating air labored
softly gasping for breath
exploding stars
lights up
the sky
wrath of the sun's light
bombards this earth
explosive fireworks
pulsing inside
emotions erupt
bursting solar colours
feelings flare beautifully
flashing the beginning
of a strong orbiting cycle
magnetic crochet
strongly pulls
gently sewing together
embraces warm rays
kisses sweetly
with her soft fingers
weaving love deeply
blissfully into
one's heart
Tears rolling down the cheeks
mournfully sighs
falling in a deep lingering thought
Whispering inside silently
I lay a sheepskin rug of purest white
upon the ground for you
love me not ,want me not
cause your heart I don't deserve
The dripping honey from your moon
cannot preserve the smile
behind my pale pearled tears
If I could reach up
grabbing the moon smiling
confetti stars sprinkling them
all over you sweetly
If only by magic
Nor the diamond dust
from your confetti stars
can bring a twinkle to these eyes
These eyes were baptised
with too many holy lies
to ever be disguised
A soulful howl
yearning salted lips
cherishing you babe
within every single teardrop
that falls in your honor
enchanting rising waves kissing
each curl embracing fragrant beauty
I'd rather let my spirit free
to roam in fabled wonders
that always end ' let not love be'
I'd rather gaze in a nocturnal sky
with no one holding me
Cause I have loved with all I am and be
To be betrayed,to be deceived
to be the clown of gaia's destiny
and now not you or any other,no one my dear
No one will set me free
written by Liam and Charmaine
You have been away from me, way to long
My sad heart still beats for you, very strong
Hours seem like days, days seem like weeks
When only the comfort of you is what I seek
I miss that beautiful smile upon your sweet face
Our many long nights together in your embrace
Mornings on the back porch enjoying sweet tea
Walks along the beach, thoughts floating so free
So many memories of the beauty you did bring
So few chances of your praises, I could sing
Taken away too quickly, too young, way too soon
Crying, remembering us, under the empty moon
Looking divine a picture goddess
jewels crowning gems sparkling magic
shining beautiful moon princess dazzling light
At a regal glance priceless cut, shines out diamond
silver ivory full face over and back
we dance into the milky way to paradise
In silver shadows we kiss holding sweetly our love
our souls sparkle together amazing dreams shine
this picture forever lives in the mind one treasure
Most adoring of all queens gracious
sweetheart I pray soon one day we will always
be together all I ever want to do deeply
Is make you smile embraced with happiness
its dark here alone shining in all dreams
Light of a thousand stars halo shine around you babe
Silken ribbons whisper tenderly soft
in every thought a warm breeze sails
Silently this boat to you on golden waves
Only if you wish darling
one in a thousand dreams that come true
you're the sweet night in gale singing inside always now in your tune

deeper than twilight
the moon to moon afterglow
a wave crush the mood
Stereotype motion
Two face under water
Human injury
(Senryu of Being Misjudged)
Faraway ambassador of light distant dream sailing ocean waves
begging golden spear of destiny strikes midnight bells ring
Spotlighting beautiful stunning to the eyes priceless gem
diamond brightly sparks on a shining jewel treasure find
Mystery shades gasping warm breathless smiles tides turn flutters the heart
beating drum roars as the arrow strikes sexy moonlighting beauty
Hot flushes sweeping deeply skipping flames on magic dust
wishes warm touching inside the darkest night glowing thoughts
Haunting full lips silver pearl whispers silently dancing tunes sing
blowing across deep sands echoes over oceans kissing paradise moonbeams
Lady you make the fire burn warm inside beauty
arising sun setting deep radiant reflections glimmer
Mirror of happiness who sings most beautiful in daylight
tonight a million stars may shine upon waves silver dance
Taking a spirit inside the truest heartbeat sparkling diamond luster
only one who holds forever treasuring each passing moon howls
You came to me each waking new day immortal winks
beating soft tender drum rolls echo deeply love a faraway paradise
Soulful emotions shines golden within emotions pearl drops
unchaining a dream the waterfalls flowing to the ocean sing
Silken soft ribbons tie feelings inside bound one knot touching
always the flickering candle lights shadows dance with truth
Pleasures of Moving on Moon
You have always charmed us by your beauty, O Moon,
Sometimes fascinating Heer and Ranjha*, and sometimes,
Mesmerizing Romeo and Juliet.
Sometimes you have spread your charms, on the monuments of Love,
Alluring the beauty of Taj*, in the full moon light of Purnamasi*
O, Moon how many faces of Love and Beauty you have,
When you stroll silently on a snow covered maintain,
The beauty and your grandeur becomes envy for the heaven.
For Poets and Writers you have immense stories and inspirations,
For Lovers you are more precious than gold and diamond,
For singers you are like the soul of their songs,
For Boatman's, you are their sole companion of their silence and turbulence.
While watching you so intensely from earth,
I felt, as if I was wondering on the silver surface of you O, Moon,
Moving and feeling, no gush of wind,
No moisture of Rains and dryness of Sun,
No falling of leaves, in the season of Autumn,
No bending of rivers, flowing from mountains to oceans
No murmuring of birds while mating and chatting,
No change of seasons to engage my mind and heart,
Still I was fascinating to move on the silver surface of you, O Moon.
Walking on your surface was a strange experience for me O, dear Moon,
As I was trying to feel the unique pleasures of earth,
While moving on your silvr surface, O Moon.
Kanpur India 22nd November 2010
Soon I will post this as My Photo Poem with the Photograph of Moon on my Blog and on face
book, which I took on 22nd Nov. 2010
• Heer and Rangha. The Indian Lovers like Romeo and Juliet
• Purnamasi. The Day as per Indian calendar, when we can see the full Moon.
• Taj. Refers to the world famous Taj Mehal monument of Agra, India.

Creation House, a division of Charisma Media, publishes Christian books with a high standard of quality. We specialize in a variety of genres and provide professional production, editing, and marketing for our authors.
Today, our 40 years of successful publishing have equipped us to offer Christian authors unique advantages in affordable, customized publishing. Major publishing houses are increasingly selective about works from new or unknown authors, so getting even very well-written manuscripts published is usually quite difficult. That's why we offer co-publishing as an alternative.
What Is Co-Publishing?
We use the term co-publishing to describe a hybrid between self-publishing and conventional royalty publishing, utilizing the best of both worlds. In co-publishing, we partner with you, the author, to develop a quality book according to your specifications, producing a finished product suitable for the bookselling marketplace. Included in our contracts are the marketing, sales, and distribution tools needed to give your book a chance to succeed. Your co-published book becomes a Charisma Media product that bears the Creation House imprint and becomes part of our publishing legacy.
This is made possible by your willingness to purchase your own significant quantity of books at a deep discount from the first press run. We in turn purchase an amount of books to sell through the trade and pay you a royalty for each book we sell.
Below is an overview of the co-publishing process to help you better understand what co-publishing is.

On Sunday, October 6, Abundance Cooperative Market held its 12th annual shareholder's meeting. This event usually designates the end of the Board of Directors' working year and marks the beginning of a new year, when owners elect new directors, or re-elect those wishing to stay on for another term. The Co-op voting model is unlike that of non-coop corporations in that one owner gets one vote, regardless of the number of shares (s)he owns. This year the Co-op marked a record number of votes for our uncontested election. We think that may be in part due to the fact that the ballot was sent electronically to more shareholders than ever! *
Beyond voting, the Annual Shareholder's Meeting is a moment of community gathering and this year was no exception. Owners brought a fantastic selection of scrumptious foods to the potluck dinner, and even shared plates due to a shortage!
Finally, Jim DeLuca, General Manager and Daryl Odhner, Board President, reflected on the past year and talked a bit about store relocation and expansion. Here are some highlights, many of which can be found in more detail in our annual report, now being distributed at the store.
One focus of this year's meeting was to discuss and shape a plan for identifying a new location for the store. Two videos were shown that explore the challenges and potential benefits of this move--you can watch them below.
Doug Hoffer is Vermont State Auditor.
Jan Rasikas is General Manager of Viroqua Food Co-op in Viroqua, Wisconsin.
* If you are reading this page and thinking.... "Why didn't I see any emails about the annual meeting?"... it may because you are not on our email list, or the email we have for you is outdated. If that's the case, please sign up for our enews! We want as many shareholder addresses as possible in order to send future important updates without the use of paper or postage. Thanks!

Sneddon syndrome is a rare progressive disorder affecting the blood vessels characterized by the association of a skin condition and neurological abnormalities. Characteristics include multiple episodes of reduced blood flow to the brain (cerebral ischemia) and bluish net-like patterns of discoloration on the skin surrounding normal- appearing skin (livedo reticularis). Major symptoms may include headache, dizziness, abnormally high blood pressure (hypertension), heart disease, mini-strokes, and/or stroke. Lesions (infarcts) may develop within the central nervous system as a result of reduced blood flow to the brain and may cause reduced mental capacity, memory loss, and/or other neurological symptoms. The exact cause of Sneddon syndrome is unknown.
Sneddon Syndrome is a slowly progressive disorder of medium-sized arteries, blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. It is characterized by blockages (occlusions) of the arteries that cause a reduction of blood flow to the brain and to the skin. Associated symptoms vary from case to case.
High blood pressure (hypertension), mini-strokes (transient ischemic attacks), and/or strokes (cerebrovascular accidents) are common. A net-like pattern of bluish skin discoloration surrounding areas of normal-appearing skin (livedo reticularis) is characteristic of this disorder. Painfully cold fingers and toes caused by dilation or constriction of small vessels in response to cold (Raynaud's phenomenon) may also occur. The combination of stroke symptoms and livedo reticularis differentiates this syndrome from other disorders.
Generalized symptoms (e.g., headaches and/or dizziness) may be present for several years before neurological symptoms and/or visible skin discoloration appear. Skin discoloration may precede the development of serious neurological symptoms by several years. In rare cases, neurological symptoms may precede the development of skin discoloration.
Specific neurological symptoms of Sneddon syndrome vary depending upon the location of arterial blockages. These symptoms may include memory loss, impaired vision, muscle weakness, migraine headaches, seizures, confusion, and/or a progressive reduction of mental function. Heart murmurs, heart disease resulting from reduced blood flow to heart tissue (ischemic heart disease), or thickening of the valves between the chambers of the heart (valvular stenosis) have also been diagnosed in people with Sneddon syndrome and may be associated with rheumatic heart disease. In rare cases, impairment of the kidneys may occur in individuals with Sneddon syndrome.
Changes in the sex and ovary-stimulating (gonadotropic) hormones have been reported in women with Sneddon syndrome. These hormonal changes may contribute to obstetrical abnormalities and miscarriage in some women.
The exact cause of Sneddon syndrome is unknown. Possible immunological, environmental, genetic, and/or other factors are under investigation as potential causes of the disorder.
Sneddon syndrome has been reported in more than one family member (e.g., siblings) in a few cases, supporting the possibility of genetic susceptibility as a factor in some cases. A person who is genetically predisposed to a disorder carries a gene (or genes) for the disease, but it may not be expressed unless it is triggered or "activated" under certain circumstances. In such cases, genetic predisposition for Sneddon syndrome may be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.
Human traits, including the classic genetic diseases, are the product of the interaction of two genes, one received from the father and one from the mother. In dominant disorders, a single copy of the disease gene (received from either the mother or father) will be expressed "dominating" the other normal gene and resulting in the appearance of the disease. The risk of transmitting the disorder from affected parent to offspring is 50 percent for each pregnancy regardless of the sex of the resulting child.
Symptoms of Sneddon syndrome are caused by a progressive increase in the number of cells in the walls of affected arteries (endothelial proliferation). The cell proliferation leads to a build-up of material, narrowing the arteries and decreasing blood flow. Arteries may become blocked (occluded) and prevent blood from reaching areas of tissue (thrombosis). Clumps of cells may break loose and circulate in the blood stream. The clumps may lodge in an artery and block blood flow (embolism). Tissue loss or damage may occur in areas deprived of blood flow.
Some individuals with Sneddon syndrome have high levels of antiphospholipid antibodies in the blood. Antibodies are part of the body's immune system and act against invading or foreign microorganisms (e.g., bacteria or viruses). Antiphospholipid antibodies mistakenly recognize phospholipids (part of a cell's membrane) as foreign and act against them. There are two main types of antiphospholipid antibodies: anticardiolipin antibody and lupus anticoagulant.
The significance of antiphospholipid antibodies in some cases of Sneddon syndrome is unknown. Some researchers believe that, in familial cases of Sneddon syndrome, affected individuals may have a genetic predisposition to the production of these antibodies.
The presence of antiphospholipid antibodies in some cases of Sneddon syndrome suggests a possible association with antiphospholipid syndrome (see related disorders section below). However, the specific relationship between these two disorders is unknown.
Sneddon syndrome has been reported more often in females than in males. Symptoms of this rare disorder usually begin in early to middle adulthood, but can occur at any age including childhood. The incidence of Sneddon syndrome has been estimated at four out of every million people per year.
Sneddon syndrome was first identified in the medical literature in 1965. Since that time, significant debate has existed as to whether Sneddon syndrome is a distinct disorder, part of a spectrum of disorders, or a subtype of antiphospholipid syndrome. Some researchers believe that Sneddon syndrome should be separated into primary and secondary cases. Secondary Sneddon syndrome would denote cases that are believed to occur secondary to another disorder or thrombophilic state; primary Sneddon syndrome would denote cases where there was no known cause (idiopathic). Some researchers believe that cases of Sneddon syndrome should be differentiated by whether antiphospholipid antibodies are present.
The diagnosis of Sneddon syndrome is usually suggested by the combination of neurological symptoms and the pattern of skin discoloration called livedo reticularis. Diagnosis of cerebrovascular damage is confirmed when electronic imaging techniques (e.g., magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CT scan, cerebral arteriography, HMPAO-SPECT studies) reveal lesions (infarcts) and/or blockages in the brain. Surgical removal and microscopic study of tissue samples (skin biopsy) may confirm the progressive arterial disease (arteriopathy) characteristic of Sneddon syndrome.
There is no specific treatment for Sneddon syndrome. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Anticoagulants such as aspirin or warfarin may be given to thin the blood and to prevent the formation of blood clots. Vasodilators such as nifedipine may be prescribed to widen (dilate) the blood vessels, reduce blood pressure, and/or reduce the risk of blockage. Immunosuppressive drugs may be used to offset high levels of antiphospholipid antibodies in the blood of some people with Sneddon syndrome.
Genetic counseling may be of benefit for people with Sneddon syndrome and their families.
Research on genetic disorders such as Sneddon Syndrome and their causes is ongoing. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is sponsoring the Human Genome Project which is aimed at mapping every gene in the human body and learning why they sometimes malfunction. It is hoped that this new knowledge will lead to prevention and treatment of genetic and familial disorders in the future.

Crash.Net F1 News
Kubica crashes out of latest rally outing
25 November 2012
Robert Kubica saw his latest appearance on the rally stages end in disappointment after the former F1 racer was forced to retire on the final day of Rallye du Var.
Kubica was again competing at the wheel of a Citroen C4 WRC and was looking to build on the victory he secured on Rally di Como a week earlier.
The former BMW Sauber and Lotus man, seeking to continue his recovery from injuries sustained in an accident while competing on a rally last year, had been in dominant form to establish a lead of more than five minutes after Freddy Loix crashed out on Saturday.
Kubica looked set to take his second win in as many weekends until the penultimate stage, when he went off the road and hit a tree.
Although his car caught fire after the incident, Kubica escaped without any injury, with victory in the event instead going to Cedric Robert at the wheel of a Super 2000 Peugeot 207.

March Madness Comes to Anaheim: 5 Reasons to Ditch Your Plans and Tune In
Categories: Sports
The so-called "madness" that comes along with the NCAA men's basketball tournament is into its second phase, reconvening this evening at the Honda Center in Anaheim. The Sweet 16. Sounds exciting, doesn't it? (Not really.)
Beyond Duke, the sports media has been quick to dismiss the remaining three programs in the West region as serious title contenders. But this is March, and like the name implies, madness ensues. The so-called experts are regularly wrong. The little guy sometimes wins. Buzzer-beaters come with the territory. Which makes the tournament great--and means Arizona, Connecticut and San Diego State have a fighter's chance.
Even if you aren't a die-hard fan and didn't fill out a bracket (mine is garbage--seriously, who expected Butler to beat Pittsburgh?!), we've put together a list of five items of interest to those who care . . . or it can be used as a cheat sheet for those who don't give a damn but might stumble into a conversation about the tournament.
Mike Krzyzewski. Lute Olson. Jim Calhoun. Grant Hill. Ray Allen. Christian Laettner. Richard "Rip" Hamilton. Gilbert Arenas. Mike Bibby. ACC. PAC-10. Big East. Seven NCAA men's Division I championships. There has quite a bit of college-basketball history represented in the West region, practically a Who's Who of former coaches and players. Arizona has only won it all once (1997) but regularly runs deep into the tournament and has produced a number of NBA-ready guards, leading to the nickname "Point Guard U." Connecticut (UConn) has two titles (1999, 2004) but may be better known for its winning women's program. Duke is Duke. With its four titles (1991, 1992, 2004 and 2010), it's among the most storied programs in the country. And then there's San Diego State, which, before this year, had never won a game in the NCAA tournament. Under head coach Steve Fisher (see No. 3), the team had all sorts of firsts this season and is aiming to continue its unlikely run to the Final Four.
|Now that's representin'!
4. Orange County Representation
OC has produced a couple solid college and pro players. This year, that's not quite the case. There are three players who'll be suited up who once lived and competed in Orange County. Unfortunately, of the three, the likelihood is that we'll probably only see one have any sort of impact--or even make an appearance. Kyle Fogg is a junior with the Arizona Wildcats and is part of the starting five. He averages 8 points per game and leads the team in assists. The 6-foot-6 guard once played and starred at Brea Olinda High. Also on the Arizona roster is junior Alex Jacobson, a 7-foot center who played at Mater Dei. To prove size doesn't always matter, Jacobson has been mostly a non-factor for the Wildcats. The third and final player is San Diego State's sophomore forward, Alex Williams, who was a standout at JSerra High in San Juan Capistrano. Williams has spent most of the season on the bench.

Earlier there were rumors that actor Sunny Deol is upset when the makers of his film 'Singh Sahib The Great' are planning to rope the porn star turned Bollywood actress, Sunny Leone, for a sizzling-hot item song. However the director Anil Sharma rubbishes such rumors and confirms that they are indeed planning to rope the adult star.
Contrary to baseless reports, Sunny Leone may now perform in an item number in 'Singh Sahib The Great', where the director says they are presently working on her dates and are quite excited to work with the heartthrob.
Recently Anil Sharma revealed by saying, "Sunny Leone is a wonderful human being. She is a very good friend. We are trying to work on her dates. She is busy with her other projects. There are some date issues and nothing more than that. I want to work with her and we are trying to incorporate an item number with her."
There were rumors flying around earlier that the film's male lead Sunny Deol doesn't want Sunny Leone to be a part of his film, since right from the beginning, jokes between the actor and the adult star are haunting him. However the filmmaker clarified it by saying that it's nothing but just rumors. He said that Sunny Deol is one such actor in Bollywood who is least interested in getting into any kind of controversies, and only wants each and every actor to grow.
It is said that shooting of the film "Singh Sahib The Great" will commence from December 10, and according to Anil Sharma, it would be just a "50 days schedule till January-end". During the same time, he is planning to shoot the item number as well. Apart from Sunny Deol, actresses Ameesha Patel and Amrita Rao are also playing as female lead in the film.

Chris Evans suits up as Captain America once again to face foes new and old in 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier.' Zade Rosenthal, Marvel
- Filed Under
The superhero saga continues in lively fashion with the second installment of Captain America, but what distinguishes this Marvel Comics-based movie is the ingenious complexity of the plot and dimension of the characters.
Members of the top-secret government agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D are more multifaceted, their motivations are murkier and emotions often mixed. Insightful moments are interspersed with high-octane action and espionage puzzles to make for a compelling, updated story.
While Captain America, aka Steve Rogers, (Chris Evans) remains at his best in World War II gear, ...

Cork is truly the most eco friendly fashion replacement for leather. It's sustainable, recyclable, environmentally friendly and also free from cruelty. Suberstyle's environmentally friendly products are all hand made from cork. The range includes ethical gifts for vegans or vegetarians such as eco friendly wallets, purses and bags that are made of top quality cork textile: therefore they are completely free from animal products, helping to make them the perfect green gifts for vegans, vegetarians as well as ethical gifts for conscientious people.
Suberstyle's earth friendly products have become the genuine substitute for leather items and so eco friendly fashion has never been more trendy. Vegans and vegetarians do not need to buy the old rough & ready hemp or artificial vinyl and plastic items. Each of these eco friendly gifts of cork wallets, purses and bags are all produced in Portugal by crafts-people. Suberstyle's cork eco products and green gift items are durable yet still very soft to ones touch and simple to clean. Just simply wipe using a washcloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water and then leave the item to dry naturally.
If you want excellent ethical gifts, eco friendly gifts for any of your friends, loved ones or yourself, a Suberstyle cork wallet, purse or handbag will certainly be the eco friendly choice.
Cork is collected from the cork oak (Quercus suber) which is a wholly earth friendly product cultivated within the Mediterranean areas of the European Union. The bark of this cork oak should be taken every 7 to 9 years leaving the original tree undamaged and capable of producing further cork for long-term use. Suberstyle's cork textile (slim layers of harvested cork fused to top quality pure cotton fabric) is taken from cork groves in Portugal that are the source for more than 50 percent of the world's cork.
Cork is certainly an eco friendly fashion product that helps bring about environmental conservation required for Mediterranean plant life and animals to survive. The main species in trouble is the Iberian Lynx, by far the most badly endangered big cat across the world, which in the past thrived within the broad expanses of the cork groves in Spain & Portugal. The Iberian Lynx's numbers have almost disappeared since the natural environment has come under rising peril from road and dam construction, as well as the wine trade which is searching for alternatives to the normal cork stoppers. Choosing from Suberstyle's eco friendly range of goods is definitely a step towards preserving and widening this kind of environment.

To hatch one of these, you don't have to be an expert baker. Making a batch of chick cupcakes is a perfect task for novices, and kids will love to help. The result will be a whimsical hit at the table.
Makes 20 cupcakes.
Tools and Materials
- 20 Vanilla Cupcakes
- Buttercream Frosting
- 4 cups sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
- 1 piece (10 inches) black licorice lace, cut into 40 (1/3-inch) pieces
- 20 whole almonds
- 140 red candy-coated licorice pastels (about 1/3 cup), or pieces of snipped red licorice laces
Spring Chick Cupcakes How-To
1. Bake cupcakes and cool completely. When turned upside-down, each cupcake becomes the body of a chick. Spread buttercream frosting on a cupcake to anchor it to the serving plate while you are working. Use a small offset spatula to coat the sides thickly with frosting, and then mound more on top to create a dome shape.
2. Press toasted shredded coconut into the frosting -- it stands in for fuzzy feathers. Hold the plate at an angle while applying the coconut so the excess falls back into the bowl.
3. Place eyes (made from snipped black licorice laces) on chicks using tweezers. Use a whole almond for the beak and red licorice for the feet and comb; both can be pushed into the frosting by hand.

Iran tells IAEA no quake damage found at Bushehr NPP
3 December 2013
Iran informed the IAEA's Incident and Emergency Centre on 28 November 2013 that no damage had been found at Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, after a magnitude 5.7 earthquake hit an area some 65 km northeast of the plant at approximately 14:00 UTC. It said the plant, which was in operation at the time of the earthquake, continues to operate normally.
Based on this information, and the assessment of the IAEA's International Seismic Safety Centre — which considers the earthquake's magnitude and ground shaking, as well as its location — the IEC is not currently seeking additional information from Iran.

We take great pride in our safety record, as we should. Children are 13 times safer riding in a school bus than traveling to and from school in any other mode, whether that's walking, bicycling or riding in an automobile.
The American School Bus Council (ASBC), established late last year by our three national associations and Blue Bird, IC Corporation and Thomas Built Buses, will be emphasizing the safety of the yellow school bus in a nationwide campaign over the next several years so that the rest of America knows our great safety story.
But I think our success in the future will also ride on our ability to sell another story — that pupil transportation can provide a fulfilling career path. According to the ASBC, the U.S. pupil transportation community comprises 625,000 people, mainly drivers, of course, but also many thousands of managers, dispatchers and technicians.
To give you an idea of the size of our industry: If all 625,000 pupil transportation folks made up their own city, it would be the 18th largest in the U.S., right below Baltimore and just ahead of Fort Worth, Texas. That's a lot of people!
Exodus in the offing? In the next decade, we're going to need to replenish this workforce as millions of baby boomers hit retirement age. Many of the industry's most experienced people — in the office, in the garage and on the road — will be moving on to the next stage of their lives, leaving a gaping hole in bus yards around the country.
We're all aware of the chronic driver shortage that exists in this industry, and a shortage of trained technicians is also becoming apparent (see Associate Editor Alison Blasko's The Next Shortage Could Be In Your Shop). But we also need to stay in tune with the need for experienced, highly motivated transportation directors to backfill retirements in the years ahead.
At many transportation operations around the country, the top manager is approaching retirement age. Are we ready to replace thousands of transportation directors? Are succession plans in place at your operation? The top leadership position is the most critical in any organization; we need to be grooming the next generation of managers now, before a wave of retirements hits our shores.
Setting our sights higher Keeping our workforce strong in number is only half the battle, however. We also have to improve the quality of its ranks. We should strive to hire top candidates for every position. And then we should provide them with exceptional training and encourage them to move up in the organization.
It's essential that transportation programs have the most qualified, top-tier professionals to lead their operations. Typically, pupil transportation managers are drawn from the ranks of existing staff, which makes it critical that school districts and contractors allocate the proper amount of time and energy into the hiring process.
In this way, we can offer great people great careers. We can't afford to hire people simply to fill positions. We need to find people with commitment, energy and drive. We need to ensure that this industry not only maintains its stellar safety record but improves upon it.

In order to make health services more accessible, Monroe County Health Department is offering its first off-site health clinic.
Beginning Tuesday, the health department is opening the Arthur Lesow Community Center Health Clinic.
"The goal is to reach more people who can't reach our office (located on the west side of Monroe). Transportation is an issue for many people, especially those with children using public transportation," explained Kim Comerzan, personal health director at the health department. "There is a need to reach other parts of the county, and we want to be more accessible."
Services at the new health clinic will be offered from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. by appointment each Tuesday. It will offer Medicaid enrollment, immunizations, pregnancy testing, sexually transmitted disease testing and special supplemental nutrition program for Women, Infant and Children (WIC).
The services will be administered by health department staff, which will include three nurses. Ms. Comerzan, who will supervise the clinic, also will be on site each Tuesday. The clinic will be offered in two private offices located in the lower level of the community center. One office will be used as a waiting area, and the other office will be used to conduct the services.
Tracy Palm, executive director of the Lesow Center, is pleased to be part of the first off-site clinic.
"I was very excited when the health department approached us about the idea," Ms. Palm said. "There is a need-gap here because transportation is a huge barrier. I'm just elated because all of us are on the same page. We're anxious to get started and help meet the needs of people on this side of town."
The health department hopes to open more off-site clinics in the next year. In the meantime, health officials said they hope residents take advantage of the new location.
"By being on the other side of town, we hope more people will utilize the services," Ms. Comerzan said. "We're hoping this will be successful."
Services at the new clinic will be available from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. by appointment each Tuesday at Arthur Lesow Community Center, 120 Eastchester St. To make an appointment, call 240-7819.

Wheat closes 21¢ Lower
DES MOINES, Iowa (Agriculture.com)--With favorable crop-weather in the forecast for the foreseeable future, the CME Group corn, soybean and wheat markets started the week lower.
The Dec. corn futures settled 8 cents lower at $4.07.
Nov. soybean futures ended 5 3/4 cents lower at $11.27.
Sep. wheat futures closed 21 1/2 cents lower at $5.82.
The Dec. soymeal futures contract ended $0.70 per short ton lower at $359.50. The Dec. soyoil futures closed $0.23 lower at $38.54.
In the outside markets, the NYMEX Brent crude oil is $0.57 per barrel lower, the dollar is lower and the Dow Jones Industrials are 65 points lower.Jack Scoville, PRICE Futures Group, says good weather is hurting the prices. "Today we are down hard on the outlook for mostly benign weather in the Corn Belt, for the next week or two. It looks warmer, but still with plenty of moisture."
In reality, crops up in Wisconsin, anyway, need a little sun and drier weather, he says. "The corn is yellow and there are many more drowned out spots than I am used to, but overall the crop should be real big and we all are getting that idea now," Scoville says.
The Sep. futures already are trading with a 3 in front of them and Dec about to get there. We might see a bounce, once Dec trades under 4, as that has been a target around here. But, there is no real reason to look for any major moves higher," Scoville says.
Even wheat is lower, today, as the growing conditions in the northern Plains and Canadian Prairies seem to have improved.
Scoville adds, "A lower market, this week, implies generally lower markets into harvest, so buyer should beware. There is corn in the US to sell, and enough beans now to make it for another month, and then comes the new crop. Brazil producers still have quite a few beans to sell as well. So, there should be no shortages anywhere in the longer term scheme of things, and these markets might get pretty ugly down the road."

walks around the crater rim, visit the waterfall, boat on the lake, visit banana and vanilla plantations
Ndali Lodge is perched on the rim of an extinct volcano which, since its demise, has filled with water to become the breathtaking Lake Nyinambuga – 250 acres in size and 130 metres deep.
The sitting room, reception and dining room open out onto Lake Nyinambuga and are connected by two open passage-ways or breeze-ways: fruit bats, owls and frogs like to use them as a highway to the crater lake.
On either side of the main area are the luxurious eight cottages which face west and out to a panoramic view of the spectacular 'Mountains of the Moon'. What more can one ask for but to sit on your veranda and watch the sun setting behind the Rwenzori mountains, the snow-capped peaks of which are clearly visible on a clear day?
At night the dining room is festooned with candles - the lodge has no electricity or generators to destroy the tranquility and atmosphere although there are solar lights in the cottages.
Breakfast is on the verandah overlooking the lake: freshly squeezed passion fruit juice (from Ndali's vines when in season) and homemade bread with wild honey go down well with a full English breakfast.
All Ndali's water comes directly from the lake, pumped up hydraulic ram based on technology invented in the 1770's.
They provide local guides for walks around the 1000 acre farm, to the Mahoma Water fall, around crater rims, past alcohol brewing in oil drums, through banana plantations, vanilla plantations, coffee terraces, plots of cassava, groundnuts, sorghum and millet.
Below the lodge, on the lake itself, is a sturdy jetty, set in the most tranquil and secluded spot and frequented by 5 different species of Kingfisher. From here guests can swim in the lake, soak up the sun or simply get away from it all.
A true gem!

The rebuild of County Road 151 from S. Telegraph Rd. west to US-23 will begin later this month after the contract for the project was awarded Monday night.
The Monroe County Board of Road Commissioners awarded the contract to Gerken Paving Inc. of Napoleon, Ohio, the lowest of four bidders.
Gerken's bid came in at $4,537,890.40, which was 3.9 percent below the engineer's estimate of the work.
The other bidders were Barrett Paving Materials Inc., Cadillac Asphalt LLC and Ajax Paving Industries Inc. Scott Assenmacher, county highway engineer, said work on the road will begin by June 23.
The work will include improving a little more than 10 miles of County Road 151, also known as Lakeside Rd., Samaria Rd. and St. Anthony Rd., with state money targeted for the worst roads.
Improvement plans include the use of recycled asphalt to repave the highway along with asphalt emulsion, Mr. Assenmacher said. He said that while the recycled asphalt concept is not new, it is new to Monroe County roads.
"As the years go by, hopefully the Monroe County Road Commission does what it needs to do to maintain it," said road board Chairman Bob Stammer.
About $ 480,000 of the $ 5 million of state funds remains, but Mr. Assenmacher said that money will be used on culvert work or other small items that might appear as work progresses.
"We have a bit of play, but not a lot," he said.
County Road 151 travels through three townships — Bedford, Erie and Whiteford.

Things I like about SFI
They are more fiscally conservative and use less leverage than most of their peers in the industry, they have a dividend yield of over 7%, they have increased their dividend over 5% annually for 5 years in a row and they have increased diversification to other financial markets for better risk-adjusted returns.
Some Negatives
They have increased exposure to more risky residential lending, increase in interest rates could slow down the commercial real estate market and there will most likely be additional bad news out of the subprime lending industry.
There could be some more dips in the coming months and it is hard to say when the bottom will hit for the REIT market but long term investors will find some great bargains this year. Dividend and value investors may want to start accumulating shares of SFI on these dips. I just love a sale.

In the Public Interest
Last year in February, APA's Council of Representatives adopted a resolution on affirmative action and equal opportunity. Interesting timing, but a little behind the civil rights curve.
Following 10 "whereas" statements, ranging from affirmative action as a remedy for past discriminations to a restatement of APA's mission statement, the council resolved that APA "reaffirms its commitment to affirmative action...supports equality of opportunity for persons regardless of race, gender, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation and national origin." Furthermore, the resolution states, APA "encourages psychological and public policy research that illuminates sources of bias in institutional policies and practices that lead to discrimination against the aforementioned groups and favors research that suggests avenues for elimination of discrimination."
Since the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 and President Lyndon Johnson's 1965 executive order requiring federal contractors to take "affirmative action" to ensure hiring and fair treatment of persons without regard to race, creed, etc., APA has met the various tests regarding affirmative action and equal opportunity. In fact, since 1992, the council has provided close oversight and required its chief executive officer to give progress reports regarding APA's compliance with not only the legal requirements but also the spirit of the law. Both council and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission appear pleased with the employment status of minorities and women within APA.
But why, one might ask, given the corporate leanings of APA, did it take almost 35 years to take a position on affirmative action?
First, it is important to understand that APA cannot support or attempt to influence legislation unless the council adopts a position. However, it appears over the years some considered APA's embrace of affirmative action and equal opportunity--which also required council action--to be sufficient and permitted political advocacy and lobbying on those issues.
That understanding prevailed in September 1995 when APA Divisions 9 (Society for the Study of Social Issues) and 45 (Society for the Psychological Study of Ethnic Minority Issues) organized a briefing for Congress and its staff. Some psychologists believe that APA's prominence and advocacy on this social justice issue caused others to challenge its right to do so--although the briefing's objective was to demonstrate how behavioral and social science research could contribute to the policy debate on affirmative action and, by implication, related matters.
However, people who were apparently opposed to the espousal of affirmative action searched for the council policy that would legitimize such actions. Not finding a clear position--i.e., "APA endorses affirmative action"--they challenged APA leadership. As it turned out, although over the years APA had supported civil rights, supported the Equal Rights Amendment, advocated for human rights legislation on health, mental health and social justice and as a corporate entity supported and abided by the affirmative action and equal opportunity laws, there was no council position on affirmative action per se.
What next?
In 1998, the Board for the Advancement of Psychology in the Public Interest was assigned responsibility for creating the governance item and shepherding it through the boards and committees of APA governance--a daunting task in a climate of varied legal challenges to affirmative action policies across the nation. It was likely that psychologists who challenged APA's advocacy in this area would have allies in governance that would place obstacles in the path of the approval process.
Those fears were not realized. The only governance challenges to the proposed resolution were those designed to enhance it by recognizing disability issues incorporated in the Americans with Disability Act and efforts of lesbians, gays and bisexual people to achieve protection in employment settings. In a year, the "Resolution on Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity" was moved from the boards and committees, to the Board of Directors, then onto the floor of APA's Council where it was approved and became official APA policy on Feb. 20, 1999.
Lessons learned
We are once again reminded that, if we are going to lobby or advocate for issues that are important to APA's membership, policy matters must be addressed. When the nature of the issue is both important and socially sensitive, as was the case with affirmative action, special care must be taken.
We also learned that APA boards, committees, Board of Directors and Council of Representatives continue to understand that affirmative actions and equal opportunities are important considerations for groups that continue to experience discrimination and unfairness in educational and employment settings. They not only understood, but took an affirmative policy stance to address them.
