No doubt the theatre bars will be stocking up as the theatre audience take advantage of the interval for that G&T!

From national best-selling author Sylvain Reynard comes the haunting, unforgettable tale of one man's salvation and one woman's sensual awakening....
Enigmatic and sexy, Professor Gabriel Emerson is a well-respected Dante specialist by day, but by night he devotes himself to an uninhibited life of pleasure. He uses his notorious good looks and sophisticated charm to gratify his every whim, but is secretly tortured by his dark past and consumed by the profound belief that he is beyond all hope of redemption.
When the sweet and innocent Julia Mitchell enrolls as his graduate student, his attraction and mysterious connection to her not only jeopardizes his career, but sends him on a journey in which his past and his present collide.
An intriguing and sinful exploration of seduction, forbidden love, and redemption, Gabriel's Inferno is a captivating and wildly passionate tale of one man's escape from his own personal hell as he tries to earn the impossible - forgiveness and love.
©2012 Sylvain Reynard (P)2012 Penguin Audio
"The anticipation in this book is amazing I it"
It's hot, exciting, and arousing
Fifty shades. He thinks he knows what's best but in the long run it's the love of a special women
Gabriel of course. He proved he'd do anything to protect the one he loved
Made me cry and laugh
"Wonderful book!!!"
The love story!!!!
Gabriel of course!!!! I am in love with this man!
I couldn't put the book down. It is the romance that does it for me....the tender moments. Absolutely breathtaking.
Nothing at all!!!!
This is the most romantic book I have ever read......couldn't wait to start the second book. My only disappointment is there is not a third book. I want a third book!!!
"Sylvain Reynard is my forever favorite author"
This book is an intensely emotionally and intellectual experience. I am typically more of a non-fiction reader, but SR has converted me to fiction-- his fiction. He has weaved a story of passion and intellectual gratification that is breathtaking. He proves that true sensuality is in the character development and not in graphic sex scenes (which are noticeably absent until the very end and even that scene is more sensual than sexual.) He takes his time, not rushing scenes, developing every sentence into poetry (no pun intended), every discussion of Dante a university-level lecture, just perfection. If you ever sat in a grad seminar and found the intellectual stimulation a turn-on (especially if the professor is hot) you will love this book. SR speaks with a "male voice" which makes the story even more tantalizing -- a man wrote this amazing book, apparently. His humor made me laugh out loud -- as much as the pain in these characters made me cry my eyes out.
Well, we all love the Professor. He's stunning to look at, but also stunningly broken. He's brilliant, he's sexy, he's insecure, he's articulate, and he's struggling to get what he wants regardless of the cost (to him or to Julia). He's dark for sure, but not so dark that you can't feel a connection with him. He's the perfect fantasy man. This guy knows how to adore a woman!
I fell in love with John Morgan's voice. He is a gem-- and has made the listening experience intimate from the first sentence to the last. Who is this man??? What a perfect complement t SR's writing.
No, because I listened to Inferno and Rapture all in one weekend. I needed a few hours to sleep and eat, but I couldn't wait to get back to it. And I've listened to both books several times since.
I have recommended this book to many friends and co-workers and they all loved it. It has generated some very interesting lunch conversations. I patiently wait for the third book -- I know that SR will not disappoint me.
"Reminds me a bit of Fifty Shades"
This story reminded me a bit of Fifty Shades, in that you have a lady who is innocent and does not have much money, and the rich, arrogant professor who has a very screwed up past. This is a very tasefully written book, though, and you get to find out a lot about the people who have influenced Gabriel and Julia's lives. The narrator had a particularly male voice, but he fortunately didn't try to make his voice sound like a female. I am looking forward to listening to the sequel.
"Everything about this book is Outstanding"
This book is written in such a way that it keeps your attention. I finally had to turn it off at 2:30 am, so that I could get some sleep before the next day. I'd recommend begin reading it on a weekend you're off work, because you're not going to want to put it down.
The story line is excellent, the narration is the best I've listened to. I can't say one bad thing about this book.
"Terrible Writing"
People who can't read well.
I don't know, his voice was too low...the female voice was creepy
The middle...it just started to drag on and on.
Also, people don't really talk like this do they? Lot's of "I will call you" instead of I'll all you...most people use contractions when they speak, but not in this book!
"Redemption for Prof. Emerson"
this was a 3.75.
I enjoyed this book but I think I will like book 2 much better. Julianne & Gabriel are two tortured souls who long for someone to just love and rescue them out of their own personal hell.
They both suffer from a lack of self-worth for various events that transpired in their younger years. Their family situation was pretty crappy and after suffering neglect, Julianne & Gabriel's level of their self-loathing was a bit much.
Their romance was a tad slow to develop, but i guess it was important for them to trust the other and eventually themselves. i am glad they found each other, but I would love for them to find counselling too!
supporting casts. I liked Rachel & Richard. While I didn't like Scott, I understood where he was coming from. I can tell Richard and Grace probably neglect Scott in order to lavish Gabriel with attention. That kind of resentment doesn't evaporate just becuase Gabriel got himself together later. Julianne's dad, well, the jury is still out on him. I want to see what he does from here, before I can be okay with him.
I look forward to some emotional and mental healing for Dante and his Beatrice
"*Annoying, the story didn't start until the end…"
The story lagged in the middle, and it was annoying that all the story focused on was that she was a virgin and her lack of self confidence. I wasn't able to sympathize with her at any level. By the time you're 3/4 way through you would think that Julia would've gained some confidence. . I think the author could have skipped the middle of the book and skipped to the end and continued with the second book and made it into one book. I also wished the "villain" was given more time in the book and gotten more background on him. I did enjoy the Italian in the book and the emphasis on Dante and Beatrice. Im not going to waste my credit/ money on the second book.
Not the second "Gabriel" book…
The narrator did a great job. He spoke Italian well.
"I'm tired of the heroine 'staring at her shoes'."
The heroine annoyed me from the start. I kept trying to give it time but it just keeps getting worse. I'm about 2.5 hours in and I just can't take any more. She has zero backbone and the constant staring at her shoes, hanging her head and being frightened by everything is driving me nuts. She's not the kind of person I'd ever want to be around. The hero? He's a complete d-head with (so far) no redeeming qualities. I just finished a pedophile-like scene (flashback) where he has just been awful to his family and sent some of them to the hospital and then everyone decides to leave this little girl alone with him so he can give her beer and kiss her and lay down with her and ask her creepily if she's ever kissed a boy, held hands with a boy etc and he keeps replying to her 'no' that he'll be her first. Yuk. It seems like it's supposed to mirror Dante and his obsession with Beatrice but now, when it flashes forward, I can't see him as a romantic hero, he's just a creepy pedophile. I can't take another 18 hours of it.

text: I tutor a lot of "little learners:" students K-6. In order to keep my costs of materials and resources low but maximize the expanse of my creative lessons, I recently signed up for a membership to my local public children's library. Although I do not have any children of my own, I stop in once a week to pick up several books for my students to use during our lessons. They love having a new book brought to them each week "just for them" and I appreciate not having to break the bank to bring new and exciting topics and activities to my students! Memberships are usually free, so there is no reason why tutors of elementary age children should not take advantage of borrowing books/lesson ideas from their local libraries!

A veto in Arizona may have meant the demise of one attempt to further enshrine discrimination in the name of religious liberty, but the larger threat from the Supreme Court remains.
Friday's ruling leaves in place a new ordinance that creates buffer zones at entrances to health-care facilities in the city while a legal challenge to its constitutionality moves forward.
Passed by the city council Tuesday, the new ordinance will require a 160-foot buffer zone around any health-care clinic in the city, with a fine of up to $750 for violators.
Will Senate Democrats respond to calls to block the nomination of Michael Boggs to the federal bench?
The state senate rejected a committee recommendation that the bill be killed, and the measure to protect abortion patients now advances to the state house.
The lawsuit filed on behalf of an evangelical couple and their high school children argues the buffer zone unconstitutionally blocks their ability to "counsel" patients entering reproductive health-care clinics.
From Michael Dunn's acquittal in the murder of Jordan Davis to a pending nominee to the federal bench, now more than ever our courts matter.
Despite the 3-2 committee vote against the patient safety zone, it could still pass in a floor vote because of New Hampshire's unusual legislative process.
What relatively peaceful anti-choice protesters may not understand is that their behavior is relative: They're a physical representation of threats that have already been made, and in some cases executed, in the past and online.
There's a growing conflict between states that recognize a fundamental right to make end-of-life decisions and those that override those wishes only when a person is pregnant.

A Quantum Hologram of Christ's Resurrection?
The Known Universe - Dec. 2009 - very cool video (please note the centrality of the earth in the universe)
I find it extremely interesting that quantum mechanics tells us that instantaneous quantum wave collapse to its "uncertain" 3-D state is centered on each individual observer in the universe, whereas, 4-D space-time cosmology tells us each 3-D point in the universe is central to the expansion of the universe. Why should the expansion of the universe, or the quantum wave collapse of the entire universe, even care that I exist?
Proverbs 15:3
The eyes of the LORD are in every place,,,
This is obviously a very interesting congruence in science between the very large (relativity) and the very small (quantum mechanics). A congruence they seem to be having a extremely difficult time "unifying" mathematically (Einstein, Penrose).
The Physics Of The Large And Small: What Is the Bridge Between Them? Roger Penrose
Excerpt: This, (the unification of General Relativity and the laws of Quantum Mechanics), would also have practical advantages in the application of quantum ideas to subjects like biology - in which one does not have the clean distinction between a quantum system and its classical measuring apparatus that our present formalism requires. In my opinion, moreover, this revolution is needed if we are ever to make significant headway towards a genuine scientific understanding of the mysterious but very fundamental phenomena of conscious mentality.
Yet, this "unification" between what is in essence the "infinite world of Quantum Mechanics" and the "finite world of the space-time of General Relativity" seems to be directly related to what Jesus apparently joined together with His resurrection, i.e. related to the unification of infinite God with finite man:
The Center Of The Universe Is Life - video
The End Of Christianity - Finding a Good God in an Evil World - Pg.31 - William Dembski
Excerpt: "In mathematics there are two ways to go to infinity. One is to grow large without measure. The other is to form a fraction in which the denominator goes to zero. The Cross is a path of humility in which the infinite God becomes finite and then contracts to zero, only to resurrect and thereby unite a finite humanity within a newfound infinity." http://www.designinference.com/documents/2009.05.end_of_xty.pdf
Philippians 2: 5-11
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
"Miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature, but only in contradiction to that which is known to us of nature."
St. Augustine
Thus, much contrary to the mediocrity of earth, and of humans, brought about by the heliocentric discoveries of Galileo and Copernicus, the findings of modern science are very comforting to Theistic postulations in general, and even lends strong support of plausibility to the main tenet of Christianity which holds Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God.
Matthew 28:18
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and upon earth."
How Did The Image Form On The Shroud? - video
"The shroud image is made from tiny fibres that are (each) 1/10th of a human hair. The picture elements are actually randomly distributed like the dots in your newspaper, photograph or magazine photograph. To do this you would need an incredibly accurate atomic laser. This technology does NOT exist (even to this day)." - Kevin Moran - Optical Engineer
"the closest science can come to explaining how the image of the Man in the Shroud got there is by comparing the situation to a controlled burst of high-intensity radiation similar to the Hiroshima bomb explosion which "printed" images of incinerated people on building walls."
Frank Tribbe - Leading Scholar And Author On Shroud Research
Shroud Of Turin Carbon Dating Overturned By Scientific Peer Review - Robert Villarreal - Press Release video
Turin Shroud Hologram Reveals The Words "The Lamb" - short video
If scientists want to find the source for the supernatural light which made the "3D - photographic negative" image I suggest they look to the thousands of documented Near-Death Experiences (NDE's) in Judeo-Christian cultures. It is in their testimonies that you will find mention of an indescribably bright "Light" or "Being of Light" who is always described as being of a much brighter intensity of light than the people had ever seen before . All people who have been in the presence of "The Being of Light" while having a deep NDE have no doubt whatsoever that the "The Being of Light" they were in the presence of is none other than "The Lord God Almighty" of heaven and earth.

Tipton would leave leukemia-stricken child in the cold
This weekend as Rep. Scott Tipton was traveling his district, he was pressed on why he supported repealing health care reform, leaving children with cancer to the whim of the marketplace. His answer? He doesn't have a better plan, but still doesn't like the Affordable Care Act. The last thing parents with sick children should be worrying about is how they will get health insurance for their children, but that's exactly what Rep. Tipton and the ... Full Story

2011: A Civil Liberties Year in Review
By John W. Whitehead It's been a year of populist uprisings, economic downturns, political assassinations, and one scandal after another. Gold prices soared, while the dollar plummeted. The Arab Spring triggered worldwide protests, including the Occupy Wall Street protests here in America. Nature unleashed her forces with a massive earthquake and tsunami in Japan, flooding in Thailand and Pakistan, a severe drought in East Africa, and a famine in Somalia. With an unemployment ...

Social Security facts
To the editor: Myths about social security are like monsters in B movies that keep returning no matter how many times they're killed -- like the myth that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. While there was a Charles Ponzi, and there is a scheme named after him, that's where any accuracy ends. That took about two minutes online to discover. Social Security was created to help everyone; Ponzi's scheme was devised to enrich himself. Social Security was created by a man ... Full Story
What do you know about the Keystone Pipeline?
There is a great deal of controversy over the Keystone XL pipeline, the latest addition to the existing Keystone network. The pipeline moves diluted bitumen from the Athabasca Oil Sands in Alberta, Canada, to multiple destinations in the United States. The current network extends to refineries in Illinois and a distribution hub in Oklahoma. Claims that the importing of the tar sands oil will ease the energy "crisis" in the United States are questionable because the oil in the XL pipeline ... Full Story
The 14 Biggest Lies of 2011
The 14 Biggest Lies of 2011 By David J Rothkopf I live in Washington where lying is an art form. Actually, that suggests an artist's intent and here in D.C., lying is more reflexive, like breathing or taking cash from fat cats. But when you live in a place like this -- if you can call it living -- where somehow we have managed to train moral mice to produce the shit of bulls, you really get an appreciation for a fine lie.

A Day that Should Live in Infamy
By Kathie Malley-Morrison January 12, 2012, is the 10th anniversary of the day when terrorism suspects were subjected to indefinite incarceration in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, generally in the absence of any charges or trial. US authorities admit to the detention of 779 detainees, at least 12 of whom were younger than 18 when detained. Eight died while in detention, six purportedly by suicide. In 2008, the US Supreme Court ruled that the detainees "had the right to challenge the lawfulness ... Full Story

And in other news and internal investigation conducted by Hamas concluded that there was no anti-semitism within the organization...
What a bunch of crap. They investigated themselves ?????
Reminds me of the scene from THE NAKED GUN in which Leslie Nielsen stands in front of the exploding fireworks factory and bellowed"Nothing to see here;move along.." Can't wait to see this pathetic "Justice" department exposed.
Nothing political about...all Eric "The Coward" Holder sis was tell the Civil Rights Division to drop it. Nothing political about that. Silly white citizens, civil rights are for minorities.
In related news Bill Clinton "did not have sex with that woman".
And my name's "Jesus Christ"....
This stupid case is blown WAY out of proportion. Whitey's nightmare (and a dated nightmare at that) writ small. Time to move on to more pressing matters. No one cares about this case, and that's as it should be.
As Bluto said in his committee hearing (cough) "bullsh**" - I'm calling it.
The Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility! Remove the words "Office of Professional Responsibility" and insert "Cover for Eric Holder" and you have the proper name
Earth to Robert Duprey. Did you forget your meds today? Geesch.....
don't be so terrified all of the time. BO will be gone soon and then justice will be back at the Department of Justice
This report pretty much settles the issue about the New Black Panther's violating civil rights. It pretty much settles it in that we now know that the Obama Admin has a Justice Dept that is filled with bias American hating pro Black Panther people with Holder being the nead................ There is no justice in this country when the justice dept., can't enforce immigration laws; can't enforce voting rights laws; refuses to prosecute those who do violate the laws. Like Obama, Holder and company need to go and be prosecuted and held in Gitmo as enemy combatants against the enforcement of civil rights and voter rights in America.
Laughing...."no political meddling"
This reminds me of a Chinese story about a man who invested his wealth in silver. He had 300 pieces of silver and had to hide it somewhere.
So he went to his plot of land and buried the 300 pieces of silver.
Then, to make sure nobody would suspect there was silver buried on the land, he put up a sign...
"This land does not have 300 pieces of buried silver."
Nope....no political meddling in this Panther case...
black panthers that sounds like a cheap brand of gas they need to lock there ass up eric holder is obamas boot licker boy he dosent speak unless he is told to they are like hound dogs all running in a circle sniffing each others ass wake obama is a lyer you can tell when his lips are moving

Update on Carmen PilarCarmen Pilar, 54, is married and has no children. She lives with her husband in the Caimito area of Ventanas Canton. La Verdad Nos Hará Libres Communal Bank is located in the Caimito 1 area of Ventanas Canton. This bank works in short-cycle agriculture, growing corn and rice.
Carmen Pilar makes a living in agriculture growing corn and rice. She makes her purchases and sales in Ventanas.
She's requesting the loan to buy seeds, supplies, fertilizer, urea, and Ranger [herbicide] to grow corn. The loan has been very useful for acquiring agricultural products for planting and being able to have a good crop to earn income for the family.
Her dream is to see that there's an improvement in the crops when it comes time to sell them. The challenge she faces is competition. In her free time she likes to read the Bible.

Additional Information
About Cooperativa San JoseThis loan is administered by Cooperativa San Jose, a 45,000-member credit union located high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador's poorest province, Bolivar. They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by providing a less onerous and more appropriate option. Join CSJ's Lending Team!
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

'A Writer of Dialogue'
Gay Courter, a writer of distinction with three novels on the New York Times bestseller list and once nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, recalls how dirty laundry and ice storms in her home state finally convinced her to come to Crystal River.
Published: Wednesday, January 1, 2003 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 1, 2003 at 4:32 p.m.
Wait! Don't sit in that chair. That lovely fluffy-looking pillow may actually be a cat curled up asleep. There are five indoor cats at Phil and Gay Courter's Crystal River home. Their feline contentment can be measured by the fact there's no bother by the cats to unwind or even look up when a visitor arrives.
Gay Courter, the mistress of this waterfront home, also finds her contentment in her studio. Like her cats, she curls up easily on the couch or in her computer chair.
"This is my favorite room in the house," said Gay, a New York Times best-selling author and prize-winning film producer.
On this overcast Tuesday morning, Ponce de Leon, an orange marmalade cat, is sitting in the middle of a white couch. A bank of tall windows faces Kings Bay. Manatees are breaking the surface Ñ males and females playing their mating game. A great blue heron glides low over the water. A long windowsill holds African violets.
Her husband Phil, a master carpenter, built this room with its sweeping views, walls lined with bookcases and a half-round computer station trimmed in lilac laminate.
It is a room laden with details but open-ended to change, just like Gay herself.
The phone rings. It is someone wanting an appointment later in the week.
"Thursday I'm helping my son move. On Friday I'm going to be in a very bad mood," Gay said. It is only Tuesday. There must have been a shocked silence on the other end of the line.
"I have to plan these things in advance," Gay said, deadpan, and then laughs with the caller.
The truth is, she really is not happy about son Josh's departure to California.
Gay and Phil have two grown sons, Blake and Josh, and an adopted teenage daughter Ashley, a senior in high school. Gay doesn't have grandchildren yet.
But Josh's puppy, Griffith, an adorable heartbreaker, has filled the job these past few months. As a result of Josh's move, Gay is having what she calls "grandpuppy withdrawal."
Living the writing
Getting to the 'grand' part of life was not a view she even contemplated as a child.
"I was born in Pittsburgh, left at one year of age for West Chester, a suburb of New York," Gay said. Her parents were Leonard and Elsie Weisman. "My dad was in international trade. By the age of seven I had traveled around the world."
Gay's eyes warm at the memory of Pan Am clippers, the airplanes with double-deckers where they made up beds. A lot of those travel stops were spent in hotels. "I was like Heloise, often the only child," Gay said.
Many times she was pulled out of school for these travels. Her mother believed in home education and often asked for text books in advance.
"My mother believed in life experiences," Gay said. "She said 'don't ever let school interfere with your education" and we used that saying with our kids too."
Books in English were a prized asset wherever they went.
"The United States Information Service had libraries all over the world, I don't know if they still do," Gay said. "My mother would get a library card and we'd take out eight to 10 books a week."
But, it was her terrible handwriting that was likely the basis for her writing career.
"I had terrible handwriting and my mother was determined to fix it," Gay remembers. "She had me write diaries, journals, for years."
Her mother decided the traveling had to stop, at least for high school. Gay spent four years in high school at Mount Vernon, N.Y.
"Since the age of five or six I knew I wanted to be a writer, it was a given. I wrote for the school literary magazine in high school."
Then came college and a teacher who shattered her dreams.
"At Antioch College in Ohio, I loved writing poetry and took a writing course," Gay said. "The professor hated my stuff."
Defeated and deflated, Gay dropped English and turned to drama as a major.
"I became a writer of dialogue," she recalled. Video was just coming into popularity. She liked it a lot. "Once you've done a video, you're done. It is not like the theater doing the same play night after night."
Moving to New York after college, Gay worked for a number of video houses, ending up in documentaries.
"My boss wanted me to hire someone to be a team with me, a writer/producer team," Gay said.
One interviewee was Phil Courter.
The attraction was instantaneous.
"By the third date, we were talking marriage," Gay said, smiling. For 35 years they have been partners in marriage and in work, with Courter Films & Associates, producing more than 150 films.
Their life experiences have turned into award-winning films, and they've led more than one social crusade, starting with the birth of their own children.
"We were into natural childbirth, breast feeding," Gay said. "We ended up making parenting videos - over 35 percent of women in America have seen them, it was very influential in getting births out of the delivery room and into birthing rooms."
Her writing has always alternated between fiction and non-fiction.
While pregnant with Josh she was riding in a car, fell asleep, woke up and told her husband she'd had a dream about her grandmother, a midwife who came to this country from Russia.
"I'm going to write a novel loosely based on her life," she said.
"That's great," Phil replied.
"How do you write a novel?" Gay asked him. Remember, she'd been discouraged from writing in college. She learned quickly, through trial and error.
"I wrote the first 100 pages, then said, 'Oh, I'm getting to the good part now." I realized my readers didn't want to wait that long, so I threw out the first 100 pages."
"The Midwife," published by Houghton Mifflin in 1981, promptly landed on the New York Times bestseller list. Novels with strong heroines and historic story lines continued to appear, five in all, with three million copies in print. Three of those novels ended up on the NYT hardcover bestseller list.
Dirty clothes and an ice storm
A combination of dirty clothes and an ice storm brought the Courter family to Crystal River.
"We'd (the whole family plus a camera crew) come down to Florida to do a documentary and got stuck here for five days because of an ice storm in New Jersey where we lived."
They checked maps, then came to Crystal River to see manatees and just hang out.
"I was doing laundry in the laundromat. My kids were asleep in the car and my husband was reading. I was bored and went next door to a Realtor's office," Gay recalls.
Dressed in jeans and a simple shirt, she didn't look like house-buyer material, more like a renter, and she recalls the sales lady was 'icy.' A couple dressed in expensive golf clothes came in and the 'icy' sales person became animated.
"The young girl who was a receptionist saw how I was being treated, pulled me aside and suggested I talk to another Realtor," Gay said. That Realtor turned out to be the girl's dad who owned the business.
Gay described a dream house - something on the water with a pool. By the time the family returned from the laundromat to their hotel room, an appointment had been made to see a house just on the market because of a divorce.
They saw, they fell in love, they bought.
"We always said with our business we could live anywhere."
The year was 1979. In addition, they purchased land in Crystal River for an office to house their film production company. Other family members ended up moving down too.
"Think of all the commissions that woman lost because she brushed me off," Gay said laughing.
After moving south, Gay became a Guardian Ad Litem and ended up writing a non-fiction book "Speak for This Child: True Stories of a Child Advocate," published in 1995 and nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.
Currently, she's working on a novel - another on strong women from history. But this rainy day, she is distracted by what's happening in the bay.
Outside the studio windows, a tour boat moves into view. At least 20 people jump off the boat and try to swim with the mating manatees, who stop what they are doing. Swimmers are not supposed to go up to a manatee, but they do anyway. Another tour boat arrives, and another.
"Dive boats will unload 30 to 40 people on one manatee baby," Gay said. "They think what they are doing doesn't make a difference, but it does."
In addition to stopping the manatee's reproductive cycle, the increased use of the bay, plus increased development, has ruined water quality, she said.
"People come from all over the world to dive here. I'm upset," Gay said, and recalled films the couple made a decade ago to point out the water quality problems.
"It has been a shame to see the water quality go downhill, especially since we worked to preserve it."
By now, it is getting close to noon.
Gay is not a bright early morning person. "I don't get out of bed until my husband brings me a cup of tea in the morning," Gay said, and acknowledges she is wonderfully spoiled.
Once motivated, it is off to the studio to write in the morning, then lunch and afternoons are often spent in the film office in downtown Crystal River.
She checks the refrigerator for possible lunch ideas. It is surprising not to see bean sprouts growing on her windowsill because her nickname is "the Bean Sprout Lady."
"If I can overcome that, I can overcome anything," Gay laughs. While growing her own bean sprouts years ago, and answering requests from friends on "how to," she decided to write an article and submit it to a magazine. It was accepted, and a book publisher called and asked for a book. "The Beansprout Book," her first book, was published in 1973. Gay is credited for bringing bean sprouts out of the kitchen and onto the shelves of America's supermarkets.
These days, she'd pass on bean sprouts and settle for more time to write fiction.
"I'd like to be able to write and sell more fiction. I know there is a market for it. At my Web site, I get lots of e-mails from people wanting more books," Gay said. Her Web site is: www.gaycourter. com.
Meanwhile, she and her daughter, Ashley, are writing a book for St. Martins Press on Ashley's life in the state's foster care system.
And she's eager to add 'grand' to her name.
"I'm looking forward to grandchildren," Gay said, her face glowing.
Then she turns away from the windows, the tour boats and the manatees, and sits down to answer e-mails.
Ponce moves to a different chair, curls up and goes to sleep.

Designed by Curtis and with the help of Lefty Kreh, this series of fly rods will cover most of the fishing opportunities that exist throughout the world. FRC series rods are translucent moss green with matching graphite inserts, gold up-locking reel seats, and gold accents. Reverse half-wells grips on the 3-6 and full wells grips with fighting butts on the 7-8 & 10.
Product Details
3-Weight - The perfect rod for chasing brook trout in my home state of West Virginia. We chose to give it that finesse touch for the streams off the beaten trail, but enough back-bone to fight the occasional lunker when needed. This is also the rod that you want to take with you when fishing for pan fish in your favorite farm ponds.
4-Weight - This rod was specifically tailored to fish for the hard-fighting Rainbows that live in the Rose River. The weather can be unpredictable in Madison County during the winter months, but this rod will step up to throwing that dry fly across the stream pockets or high-sticking the Rose River Special through some of the deeper pools.
5-Weight - This rod is my "go-to†rod…whether I am fishing for rainbows in the Appalachians or Cutthroats in the Rockies. The rod was designed for pin-point accuracy for the professional caster to place that dry fly where it is needed or the perfect rod for the beginner to improve their casting ability.
6-Weight - The FRC 6 Wt. rod is my "go-to†rod for Small Mouth, it is perfect for double hauling those Big Poppers or Clouser Minnows. When the wind is working against you, our FRC 6 Wt. was designed to add a little more power to your game. It still has the smooth casting stroke for dry fly use, but the perfect rod to throw a Streamer or Woolley Booger.
7-Weight - My first Bone-Fish was caught on this rod in Belize and is the perfect flats rod, not only for casting at these finicky fish, but for fighting and wearing them down. Closer to home, the FRC 7 Wt. is also the perfect rod for fighting Chesapeake Bay schoolie Stripers and Bluefish. It is a Great all around light weight saltwater or heavy weight freshwater rod.
8-Weight - If you are looking for a rod that you can take up to New Brunswick, Canada on the Miramichi and fight the elusive Atlantic Salmon or take to the Caribbean to land Permit, this 8 Wt was build and designed to conquer all of these fish. On one trip in Canada we caught 7 different species of fish…the 8 Wt. FRC Rod is my #1 choice, if I only had one rod to pack.

Johannesburg, June 23 — Anti-apartheid icon and South Africa's first black president Nelson Mandela remains in a serious but stable condition in hospital, the Presidency said.
The announcement came as the ailing 94-year-old Mandela Saturday spent his 14th day in hospital in Pretoria. He was admitted with the serious lung infection June 8, Xinhua reported.
"We thank the public for support and for respecting the privacy of the former president and his family," the Presidency said in a statement.
The Presidency confirmed a media report that the military ambulance transporting Mandela June 8 from his residence in Johannesburg to Pretoria had an engine failure but it was soon replaced by another military ambulance.
"The doctors were satisfied that Mandela suffered no harm during this period," the statement said.
"We appeal again that his privacy be respected and that he be accorded the doctor-patient confidentiality that all patients are entitled to in terms of medical ethics," the Presidency said.
This is the third time that Mandela has been admitted to hospital this year. On March 27, he was hospitalised after doctors diagnosed him with pneumonia.
He was also admitted in December 2012 for his recurring lung infection.
