You are herecontent / LAW SCHOOL TO ORGANIZE BUSH WAR CRIMES TRIAL
By Sherwood Ross
A conference to plan the prosecution of President Bush and other high administration officials for war crimes will be held September 13-14 at the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover .
"This is not intended to be a mere discussion of violations of law that have occurred," said convener Lawrence Velvel, dean and cofounder of the school. "It is, rather, intended to be a planning conference at which plans will be laid and necessary organizational structures set up, to pursue the guilty as long as necessary and, if need be, to the ends of the Earth."
"We must try to hold Bush administration leaders accountable in courts of justice," Velvel said. "And we must insist on appropriate punishments, including, if guilt is found, the hangings visited upon top German and Japanese war-criminals in the 1940s."
Velvel said past practice has been to allow U.S. officials responsible for war crimes in Viet Nam and elsewhere to enjoy immunity from prosecution upon leaving office. "President Johnson retired to his Texas ranch and his Defense Secretary Robert McNamara was named to head the World Bank; Richard Nixon retired to San Clemente and his Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was allowed to grow richer and richer," Velvel said.
He noted in the years since the prosecution and punishment of German and Japanese leaders after World War Two those nation's leaders changed their countries' aggressor cultures. One cannot discount contributory cause and effect here, he said.
"For Bush, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and John Yoo to spend years in jail or go to the gallows for their crimes would be a powerful lesson to future American leaders," Velvel said.
The conference will take up such issues as the nature of domestic and international crimes committed; which high-level Bush officials, including Federal judges and Members of Congress, are chargeable with war crimes; which foreign and domestic tribunals can be used to prosecute them; and the setting up of an umbrella coordinating committee with representatives of legal groups concerned about the war crimes such as the Center for Constitutional Rights, ACLU, National Lawyers Guild, among others.
The Massachusetts School of Law at Andover was established in 1988 to provide an affordable, quality legal education to minorities, immigrants and students from low-income households that might otherwise be denied the opportunity to obtain a legal education and practice law. Its founder, Dean Velvel, has been honored by the National Law Journal and cited in various publications for his contributions to the reform of legal education. #

Bush is sage in Paraguay. He bought off that governam
so that he can't be extradited for internatinal crimes.
New president (Fernando Lugo) re-introducing extradition treaties, and has nominated old school leftists to serve thru-out his ministries.
Bush got no place to bo but Waco!
People get real please. Bush and Co will never see any prison time or even the inside of a courtroom. The only thing he will have is a tarnished legacy. Thats it. Keep in mind this man is USA's (soon to be ex) president . If you think that the US is going to pack him up and ship him off to a foreign country you are crazy. Never mind that, If you actually think that a NATO country (with few exceptions) would bring him up on trial, you need to wake up. Also, even if a country did, it wouldn't go anywhere. Keep this in mind too; McCain could get elected, and wouldn't it be a shock if bush and Co. magically ended up absolved of any wrong doing after McCain takes power.
The point to a trial, even a mock trial, is that it will set a bigger base in which to try bush in the future. Yes, it will happen, even when people like you who try to spin that lie that no one will try cry. There are bigger minds than yours and mine that will go after the bush ledership, here and abroad, one at a time if need be, and bring public the whole rotten mess. People like you, and who ever is paying you to spin the no win, try not to look at the millions of people around the world that will try them in private,in their country, if the US does not, and pick them up if they ever go into that country. (Germany for one) Like Saddam Hussien thought no one could touch him, oh well...they did, and then they (the world) hanged him. We will see, in our lifetime, bush, cheney, rumsfeld, rice, tenet, among others...if no trial is forthcoming in the US, they will be tried in the courts of the people in other countries they have wronged, and they will start dieing of cancers, hit and runs, aids, bad press, and other magic diseases, if not just out-right disappeared or rendered. Furthermore, the people have long memories, and they will not forget what the bush administration did, not ever, you can say that is a lot of poo, but I beleive poo stinks and sticks. (have you smelled your shoes lately?) So, anyone who is caught helping those criminals are, in fact, harboring criminals...just like you are doing by trying to make people believe that there will never be a trial of the criminals in the bush whitehouse.
New government changed extradition rules or something. Could be wrong of course.
No, he isn't safe in Paraguay. Bush bought 100,000 acres and then the Paraguay elections brought a leftist government into power after 60 years of right-wing rule and safe havens for Nazis and other war criminals. Nice real estate decision, George.. hahaha
Paraguay has a new "leftist" government that's tired of being outside the international pale. It's considering amending its extradition (or lack thereof) treaties. So Bush & Co may have just wasted their money going to Paraguay. If nothing else, they may have problems going anywhere outside the US. Remember Pinochet!
I have been trying to find info so I can attend this event and there appears to be none. I am starting to think this is fake story being passed around the internet. Even the email address above (firstname.lastname@example.com) came back with a mailer-daemon 550 "No Such User Here" message. Anyone know if this is legit? Also, what about the Hague? The U.S. does not currently recognize the Hague's jurisdiction. How can we change this? We seem so far from the international community, and so far from making the Bush admin. responsible for all the crimes they did while in office. What will it take? the list against them seems endless, yet they continue on in office. If we wait for Bush to get out of office, what's to stop him from moving to the 100,000 acre ranch he bought in Paraguay?

This tuff talk moot court circus will go over like a turd in a well. The article is good amateur comedy.
Thimk! If bush could be held accountable would not he have already been by some legitimate prosecutor, and in court up on charges with sitting judge officiating. It's not like bush crimes are being held in a secret vault fer gud's sake.
Next funny article!!
The political party I belong to is the entire body politic of the United States of America and our Constitution that I support without bias which neither states or implies any allegiance with any other socalled organized political party.
it's a valid point that the previous poster is making.
this could be once again a motion to deflate efforts to prosecute crimes of the white house.
I would strongly suggest that anyone who will go forward and prosecute the white house stay away from this particular group and only when their efforts are ready for public disource then make their intentions known.
in other words, do it yourself. too many chefs lets the cake run away.
independentasitgets you are so smart. I know you will know the answer to my question. So here it is:
Please tell me the difference between Japan's illegal and unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the unprovoked and illegal attack on Iraq by Bush/Cheney.
If you are smart enough you will know the answer. Well, just in case you are not so smartas you think you are, I will give you the answer:
The military and civilians in Japan responsible for the illegal and unprovoked attack on the America in 1941 were tried, convicted and executed as war criminals. The difference is that Bush and Cheney have yet to be tried and convicted and if found guilty---Executed as war criminals.
Laugh about that.
You and weeweewilly slander me all you wish...but I'll tell ya something Yutz...there was one difference between the sneak attack Japan made on Pearl Harbor and bush's onset of war even though I don't think it was a legitimate factor or even an excuse...Hussain and the Iraqi's were giving warning BEFORE that attack and that attack and invasion on Iraq was imminent.
Now if you a saying that Japanese and German principles was brought before a combination allied military/civilian tribunal, tried, for war crimes and found guilty, and then executed or imprisoned..AFTER..the end of WW II that is correct.
There is a slim remote possibility that other nations could petition to have bush, cheney, et al ux other principles involved at sometime in the future but that remains to be seen doesn't it.
What I found down right ludicrous was that "A LAW SCHOOL" here in the U S A is "TO ORGANIZE BUSH WAR CRIMES TRIAL." Rottsa ruck I say. But you hope and dream anything you want to pal.
The political party I belong to is the entire body politic of the United States of America and our Constitution that I support without bias which neither states or implies any allegiance with any other socalled organized political party.
Hussein NEVER ATTACKED US! Never. He didn't have the ability to do so. So there is a big difference here. The US government(note I don't say the American people) also attacked a country that hadn't attacked us and wasn't a threat to us. As did the Japanese and Germany. BTW. Germany and Japan had a treaty that said who attacked one, attacked the other. I get really tired of people not understanding INTERNATIONAL treaties.
If you really believe that Bush will be prosecuted for war crimes, you are either really naive or really stupid.
And another difference between Pearl Harbor and attacking Iraq are the numerous UN resolutions that were made against Iraq, and Iraq's violations of those resolutions.
Then you've completely ignored the difference between lawful and unlawful... haven't you?
I mean, according to you, it's lawful if the president does it and no one blinks.
Then please,
Name ONE redeeming value to TORTURE?
Name ONE redeeming value to LYING?
Name ONE redeeming value to FRAUD?
Name ONE redeeming value to MURDER?
Name ONE redeeming value to TREASON?
Name ONE redeeming value to VIOLATION OF US CONSTITUTION?
Name ONE redeeming value, JUST ONE to any of this...
Because that is what you're defending...
Right on! Anybody in this country that feels that this man should be set free once out of office is a fool. You can't just slap him on the wrist and say "bad boy!" We have laws and he's implemented new ones without our consent. I for one certainly don't appreciate being told that my home bay be searched and seized just because I disagree with with what the current regime has implemented. The people undergoing the acts committed and stated in the previous statement deserve justice and the only people that can provide that are the citizens of the United STates of America. We are all to blame because we have NOT done anything about it. I myself wish that I had/have done more and am currently searching out new ways of changing that. Stand up for what you believe people.

Quote - Trent Reznor
Bushco criminals will in time be held accountable for war crimes.
These law students and teachers are laying out plans for how to do just that.
Your comments are what should be compared to a turd in the punch bowl.
Go crawl back under your bridge you stupid troll!
History will not look back with favor on the fascist Bushco era.
Oh, so you're a Lyndon LaRouche supporter then.
Oh and you are right...this thing is all messed up. Bush should be accountable for all that he has done and double so for his underlings. This whole fiasco probably wont turn into anything, but if we get up from our couches and actually start agreeing with these people maybe we could change the US of A...or just how we fart.
Are you fluent in English?
George W. Guilty of Murder?
A prominent lawyer lays out a compelling case in THE PROSECUTION OF GEORGE W. BUSH FOR MURDER. Staggering evidence is collected against the president in a startling new book.
Amazon.com: The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder: Vincent Bugliosi: Books
It's in the left sidebar, under impeachment books...
Please excuse a novice but is there some reason, some right signed away by guys when entering the service that would preclude their families suing this administration in a class action wrongful death suit? I'm sure this has been thought of and it almost seems too easy....so what's the matter with that idea? I'm sure Cindy could lead the charge....now that we all know what she knew a long time ago.
Read the new book "The Prosecution of George W Bush For Murder"
by Vincent Bugliosi.
Its a great read.
Hopefully, President Obama will appoint Bugliosi to be a special prosecutor in the Bush investigation/prosecution.
"Impeach. Prosecute. Save America." - Naomi Wolf
I agree!
This is the biggest joke I have ever heard of!! These people need to get a life!! Until you have been there (Iraq) you need to keep your mouth shut!! Support your Troops and Your President No Matter what!! 20 or 30 years ago this would have been considered Treason!!!!
Support your Troops and Your President No Matter what!!
Ein Reich, ein Volk, ein Fuehrer. Why don't you Americans just replace the stars on your flag with swastikas? The rest of the world would consider it more appropriate. In any case, I suppose we should be thankful that the Americans are so bad at fighting wars - they always seem to lose the real wars, and trumpet their "victories" over such major nations as Grenada, etc. Interesting how George W (is for Waterboarding) Bush has had to call the Brits in to capture ObL after 6 years of failure by the so-called American Special Forces.
I have a funny feeling that war crimes trials are the best possible outcome for these worms. At least for the little flunkies.
I wonder how they're feeling about their public lives after all is said and done. Does Yoo rest easy? If I were he, Berkeley is the last place I'd want to be...
ok which fucking genius thought up this idea? seriously... stop placing blame and fix the problem u idiots... the problem isn't completely with the government, it lies with ignorant clods like the guy who thought this up.
This is not an ABA accredited school. This is a cheap attempt to draw attention to this place to further their own goals. They have filed suit with the ABA after they had their application for accreditation rejected, and continue to spill unqualified lawyers into New England. If my attorney went to this school, I'd think twice before going to court with them. This session is about as productive as throwing your own feces at a monkey.
If you guys want to be taken seriously and not as a bunch of crackpots, you can't make such arguments as, "He noted in the years since the prosecution and punishment of German and Japanese leaders after World War Two those nation's [sic] leaders changed their countries' aggressor cultures. One cannot discount contributory cause and effect here, he said."
What changed the "aggressor cultures" of those countries was losing the war and being occupied, not the fear of war crimes tribunals. Lawyers and writers should be keenly aware of fallacious claims of causality and the flawed argument of "post hoc ergo propter hoc" (after this, therefore because of this) and not use such fallacious reasoning.
They also cannot prove that the invasion of Iraq was a war crime unless you want to conduct the trial in North Korea, Cuba, or Venezuela. The defendants would successfully argue that the invasion of Iraq was justified because the US had indications of an immanent threat, Iraq had refused to let weapons inspectors complete their work, Iraq had a history of using chemical/biological weapons, and Iraq had defied numerous UN resolutions, not to mention Saddam's horrendous crimes against humanity. It would not be possible to get a conviction based on the invasion itself.
This is not to say that Bush, Rove, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfawitz, Gonzales and others should not be prosecuted for numerous crimes. They should. Here are a few:
1) Human rights abuses, including violations of the Geneva Conventions and the US Constitution, most notably the failure to uphold the principle of Habeas Corpus. Essentially, they have run a Gulag in Guantanamo Bay on a par with the Soviet and Nazi concentration camps. They have also employed the same torture techniques (such as water boarding) used by Japanese officers during WWII and those crimes led to the execution of the convicted officers. These "war crimes" could be punishable, but the invasion itself would not be and cannot be equated with the unprovoked attack by Japan or the invasion of Poland by Germany in 1939.
2) Conducting politically motivated prosecutions, using US attorneys to trump up false charges against political opponents or to ignore offenses by political allies, and then dismissing those US attorneys who refused to participate in this criminal enterprise. Gonzalez should also be tried for perjury and contempt of Congress on this issue. Those US attorneys who acquiesced in the politically motivated prosecutions should also be charged with felonies, and that may actually start to happen soon.
3) Revealing the identity of a covert agent of the United States government, a felony. The fact that it was done as a political vendetta makes this even worse. It is a felony on its own and could also possibly bring the additional charge of treason. Rove and Cheney should be charged and convicted of these felonies.
4) Usurping the constitutionally defined congressional authority to regulate interstate commerce. This is a violation of the constitution and should be punished as a high crime. The Bush administration has clearly committed violoations of the constitution in numerous cases amid the protestations of Sen. Arlen Specter and others.
Trying to drum up nebulous war crimes charges that are open to a vast spectrum of political opinion and are apparently what this group in Andover is contemplating, comes across as juvenile and will not be taken seriously anywhere. It's posturing and grandstanding and looks ridiculous, and moreover will result in no real action. Let's focus on the well documented cases of violations of United States criminal statutes. Cheney first and foremost, followed by Rove, Gonzales, and others, are more than guilty of plenty of felonies on that score.
Why not ask this question: how was a special prosecutor with no clear charter other than to continue to investigate President Clinton until he could find any infraction, allowed to operate as a virtual fourth branch of government, and we cannot get a single special prosecutor appointed to investigate known felonies? This is the real problem we are confronting with the soviet-style Bush administration and their lapdogs in the republican congress, who are about to have their asses handed to them in the next election. Let's hope the next administration will prosecute the criminals.
I find it interesiting that you use in your first example WW2, since Prescott Bush, this current Presidents grandfather, was directly involved in the funding of Hitlers rise to power. He was the principal of several banks in NYC, linked with banks in Holland and Germany which directly funnelled cash to the right wing movements and the armaments and related industries in germany. This was going on 10 years before Hitler took power. This is all about war profit, and has been for over 100 years. Prescott Bushes' father, Samuel bush was directly invlved in WW1 as an expediter of arms dealers to supply that war after leaving a high federal post. Jump ahead to this current presidents father and there is Korea, Vietnam, and various other skirmishes and horrors, and of course The First Gulf War. There, in brief, is a four generation legacy of promting and profiting from manufactured wars so that war profiteers can fund and supply both sides. And the Bush family is just the tip of the iceberg. Ever wonder where the 'George W.' comes from? Think any of these guys will pay for their crimes? I dont believe they even think that they have done anything wrong.
Not sure what happened to my comments. Anyway, no war crimes trial will ever happen.
you're right. there won't be. Bugliosi wants to prosecute, but at this rate, the only 'legitimate' organization in the united states of torture, is most likely, the 'krishna's' (bad choice, but you know what that means!) least they can break a ten spot for you at the airport, and not rip you off!
people are grasping for straws in the waning days of what still looks like 'order' but is the beginning of outright tyranny and the anarchy that will follow that.
they might as well tell everyone HALE-BOPP numero 2 is coming, and go off yourself so you can beam up to the mothership, that'd be kinder than giving people false hope these scummy filthy treasonous slime will be prosecuted.......*groan*

Shobna Gulati dating Tony Brown, 17 years her junior
London: `Coronation Street` star Shobna Gulati is reportedly dating Tony Brown, who is 17 years her junior.
The 46-year-old actress met Brown, 29, a few months back when the star appeared on the early-morning programme on ITV show `This Morning`, where her beau works.
The couple was seen enjoying a romantic day out in Manchester recently, the Sunday Mirror reported.
"They`ve been together for a while now and things are going brilliantly. They hit it off immediately when they met in the green room at This Morning. Tony lives in London, but when they do spend time together they have a great laugh. They are taking things slowly but are enjoying each other`s company," a source told the newspaper.
Gulati is leaving `Coronation Street`. Her character Sunita Alahan is going to be killed off in a dramatic scene.

Former AT&T exec, UI graduate named IBHE chairwoman
SPRINGFIELD– Former AT&T Illinois President and University of Illinois graduate Carrie Hightman was named chairwoman of the Illinois Board of Higher Education on Wednesday.
She replaces James Kaplan, who announced his retirement from the board on Friday.
School closings come at critical time
Students may have been back in some classroom today, but were their heads in their books, or outside on the sledding hill?
"Routine will be the best thing that can happen to us, whenever we get back," said Urbana Middle School Principal Nancy Clinton. "The routine is what will settle everybody down, including the teachers."
Renovations discussed for 2 locations
The Bismarck-Henning School Board discussed giving two locations in the district new looks.
The Wilcox Foyer Committee was formed to advise the school board about the design and presentation of items in the Wilcox Foyer trophy cases at the high school, next to Wilcox Gymnasium.
Wiley families come together to celebrate black heritage
URBANA – They may not have looked the part, but parents attending Wiley Elementary School's celebration of National African American Parent Involvement Day played with blocks and dug into their lunches with all the gusto of their grade-school children.
For Robert James, the day is a great opportunity to share lunch with his first-grade daughter, Nyah. "It's just time to spend with her," he said.
Fitness Fridays for Dr. Howard students
CHAMPAIGN – Students at Dr. Howard Elementary School are up out of their seats on Friday mornings, stretching or doing push-ups against their desks before getting started on schoolwork.
They're moving almost the entire time during PE class, rather than listening to instructions or waiting for their turn at a game. And they're talking about nutritious food choices in the lunchroom.
New elementary school in Mansfield considered
MANSFIELD – The Blue Ridge school board is considering replacing aging Mansfield Elementary School with a new addition attached to the north side of Mansfield Junior High.
The proposal is one of several future plans for the district that will be discussed at the school board meeting Feb. 19.
Parent of abuse victim disappointed as history repeats
URBANA – The father of a teen girl sexually molested by an Urbana school district employee at school two years ago feels district administrators may not have learned from previous mistakes. His comments came in the wake of recent charges that Thomas Paine teacher Jon White molested students in that building.
"The pattern is the same. They're doing an internal investigation and they're not experienced," said the man, who asked not to be identified. Not naming him is in keeping with The News-Gazette's long-standing policy of not identifying victims of sex crimes.
Cold gels bus fuel, causing headaches
RANTOUL – Balky buses, fuel turned to gel by frigid weather, left some Rantoul students stranded at stops this week waiting for transportation to school that never arrived.
But Rantoul Township High School Superintendent David Requa said the district and parents quickly got the word about the bus breakdowns out – and the waiting students in.
Urbana school district plans external investigation
URBANA – The Urbana School District is moving quickly to hire an external investigator to look into the alleged sexual molestations at Thomas Paine Elementary School.
District 116 Superintendent Gene Amberg had said this week that he would conduct an investigation into the allegations against second-grade teacher Jon White, who has been charged with sexually molesting children in the school, but that an external investigation would also be conducted.
IBHE chair will step down
James Kaplan announced this week he will leave his post as chair of the Illinois Board of Higher Education to spend more time with family and in his law practice.
Kaplan was first appointed to the board in 1999 by former Gov. George Ryan. Gov. Rod Blagojevich named him as board chair in 2003.

Word of Mouth blog + Spirits
The unstoppable revival of gin continues apace. Is this the spirit version of craft beer?
Barack Obama enjoyed a breakfast beer at the G7 summit and a London bar is now serving morning wine. From bloody mary to brandy, an early tipple is a fine European tradition
Katy Salter: From Germany to Colombia, everyone is drinking gin and tonic. But forget a splash of Schweppes and a slice of lemon – these tipples are served with basil, marmalade or the smoke from burning thyme …
Rebecca Seal: Industry figures show that sales of the UK's home-grown spirit may soon be eclipsed by vodka. But the latter doesn't have to be tasteless firewater
Norman Miller: The South Korean spirit is the globe's best-selling alcohol. But they're not just drinking it in Korea these days – you can try chilled shots or soju cocktails in New York and London
Lizzie Enfield: Chefs are increasingly using whisky in cooking to enhance salty, smoky or sweet flavours. Would you cook with a single malt, or is it so precious it must be sipped?
Tony Naylor: For years we were warned, don't mix your drinks. So why are tequila-spiked lagers, rum ales and beer cocktails popping up in supermarkets and craft beer bars?
Traditional hand-crafted Mexican mescal is becoming available in the UK, but if it's the artisanal nature of the spirit which appeals, you should try it soon says Natalie Hardwick
Interest in gin has exploded over the last decade with independent producers flourishing and more emphasis on artisanal methods among the big distillers. What's your favourite gin and how do you enjoy it?
'Slider' is cider plus sloes left over from making sloe gin. John Wright navigates another potentially slippery slope
A WoM reader wondered whether you can add smoky flavours to drinks at home. John Wright was only too pleased to investigate. Cautiously
The addition of a not uncommon hedgerow plant can make all the difference in your gin and tonic, says John Wright
John Wright: For a drink with only three ingredients, sloe gin is the subject of an unfeasibly large body of advisory literature. The key, however, is patience
John Wright: Start a stampede with some home-brewed bison-grass vodka – or crop one of the alternative wild grasses currently in bloom

Gemini (Love)
Aries 4/5 – This couple are on the fast lane for new everything making sure they get it first
Taurus 2/5 – Like talking to a boulder, the Taurus is not willing to accept change whilst the Gemini is
Gemini 5/5 – They like to talk so you pretty much know where this relationship is going
Cancer 1/5 – the Gemini is either going out alone or not doing something new
Leo 4/5 – Very refreshing for both just as long as the Gemini doesn't get full up of Leo's ego
Virgo 2/5 – Gemini wants to know, Virgo wants to hold back there is loads of suspicion in this relationship and only half of everything is being said.
Libra 4/5 – Just as long as the Gemini can keep cool about Libra's ignorance to the bad things that are likely to happen, this could actually be a very good relationship
Scorpio 0/5 – Scorpio is exciting but serious, this makes Gemini the Scorpio's victim when they start saying the things Scorpio hates.
Sagittarius 5/5 – these two shares the fact that they are both restless and need something to stimulate their minds
Capricorn 2/5 – A Capricorn never shares so the Gemini gets frustrated
Aquarius 5/5 – Aquarius's Wacky nature keeps Gemini's curiosity fulfilled
Pisces 3/5 – This can either be a good relationship or one like chalk and cheese, it depends how high up in the clouds the Pisces is
Being social means that these people are likely to either talk their lovers to death (an actual way of saying that they might or might not communicate until their tongue's fall off), or make a good joke about how life is going. Either way people under this sign have a good chance of falling in love early because of the amount of communication. The thing Gemini has to watch out for though is weather their lover is actually listening because they will simply turn away if they find that they aren't getting anything back. They need to know that they're not talking to the four walls.
Gemini is likely to suffer from many sleepless nights due to restlessness and at a more extreme level Gemini's can suffer from insomnia. They rule the nervous system because they like to gesticulate a lot, this makes the body tired when done too much so plenty of exercise is good for this sign as well as plenty of sleep. Other problems can occur if the Gemini is a heavy smoker. Making sure they eat slowly is a good idea, instead of eating rapidly because they're too excited to get going with their next hobby.
Things to avoid
· Over confidence
· Restlessness
· Smoking
· Leaving things till the last minute
· Giving things with a smaller chance of success the most priority

Arena pursuing Beasley; OBrien could be invited to Red Bulls training camp
Red Bulls coach and sporting director Bruce Arena would love to have DaMarcus Beasley running down the wing for his team.
Linda Cuttone/Sports Vue Images
By Michael Lewis and Dylan Butler
BigAppleSoccer.com Editors
Bruce Arena apparently isn't finished trying to lure former or current U.S. National Team players to the Red Bulls.
The Red Bulls sporting director and coach is said to be heavily pursuing U.S. international winger DaMarcus Beasley, according to league-wide sources. There also is a possibility that U.S. National Team midfielder John O'Brien could be invited to pre-season camp, sources said.
Both players performed for Arena in the 2002 and 2006 World Cups.
Last week former U.S. National Team captain and midfielder Claudio Reyna signed with the MLS team. Reyna played for Arena at the University of Virginia and with the national side.
Beasley, 24, on loan to Manchester City from PSV Eindhoven, is said to be unhappy with the English Premiership club, although he has gotten more playing time recently.
The 5-7, 126-lb. Beasley would give the Bulls blinding speed either in the midfield or up front and arguably the two fastest players in the league. Speedy second-year pro Marvell Wynne plays right fullback.
Beasley also is considered a superb two-way player with outstanding defensive skills.
Arena and Beasley had some disagreements during the World Cup in Germany. Beasley said he was disappointed with his role in the 3-0 opening loss to the Czech Republic and Arena criticized his play. Arena responded, essentially saying that Beasley should take a look at himself in the mirror. Several days later Arena said that he hadn't had a problem with Beasley.
Nicknamed "Jitterbug," Beasley previously played in MLS with the Chicago Fire before he transferred to PSV in July, 2004 for a $2.5 million fee.
O'Brien, 29, has been plagued by leg injuries throughout his career. He had patellar tendonitis since June. When healthy, he arguably has been considered the best American midfielder. He played only five minutes in one game with Chivas USA last season -- against the Los Angeles Galaxy April 15.
Arena took a gamble and named the oft-injured, but talented OBrien to last year's World Cup roster. He came on as a second-half sub in the loss to the Czech Republic, but was injured and did not play again.
The 5-9, 155-lb. O'Brien, released by Chivas in December, has been invited to the west coach team's training camp, but cannot sign with another MLS club unless his rights are acquired in a trade.
But it certainly wouldn't cost the Red Bulls much to see how healthy O'Brien was in training camp. The Red Bulls will train in Bradenton and Orlando, Fla. from Feb. 2-19.
Blessed with skill, patience and vision, O'Brien played a dozen years in the Netherlands -- for Ajax, Utrecht and ADO Den Haag -- before returning to the states and signing with Chivas in 2006. He played a vital role in the U.S.'s quarterfinal finish at the 2002 World Cup.
Arena could not be reached for comment. He has made it a policy not to talk about players under contract with other clubs.
If Beasley signs with Bulls, he would be the third player with City background to join the club. Reyna agreed a multi-year deal with the club and Reyna's former City teammate, ex-Dutch international goalkeeper Ronald Waterreus signed with the club Monday.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Young Wizardry series, the characters and all that.
Chapter 1: Lost and Found
Dairine, now 17, lay silently on her bed. Her arms were thrown up over her eyes so that should anyone enter her room they wouldn't be able to tell she was crying. Her mind turned in circles, memories of the last time she had seen Roshaun tormenting her. Even though it had been years since he disappeared she could still clearly see everything that happened. She could still feel the pain she had felt moments after loosing him.
In the past few years she had thrown herself into her schoolwork and also into any dilemma that came at her from her wizardry. Nita and Kit had both already gone off to college, leaving her with just her Dad and no known wizards her age. She had tried for so long to hold back everything building up inside of her that finally she just broke down.
Just as she was finally starting to calm down she heard a knock on the door, causing her to shoot into a sitting position. She let out a quick, "Hold on!" and hurriedly scrubbed her face clear of all the remains of tears.
She went over to her bedroom door and opened it, squinting when the hallway light shined right in her eyes. "Yeah Dad?" She asked, putting one hand on her hip.
"Tom and Carl are downstairs; they want to talk to you about some new assignment or something." Mr. Callahan said, then turned around and went back downstairs.
Dairine sighed, things had been weird between her and her dad ever since Nita had left, she had always been their buffer. Now that they had to work together without her there to referee things had gotten a little tense. Dairine squared her shoulders and headed downstairs, prepared for anything they had to throw at her.
When she reached the living room both Tom and Carl greeted her with a warm smile and a handshake, but then got right down to business. "Dairine, did Nita ever tell you about her ordeal?" Tom asked.
"Of course she did, she went to the "other" Manhattan, the world that the Lone One created to be just how he wanted." Dairine replied, confused on what that had to do with anything.
"Well, you see, we have to send you there. We just discovered that a wizard has been stuck there for some time, and you were assigned to go and get them out of there." Carl explained.
Dairine raised an eyebrow at them both and just sat there for a moment, absorbing it all. "How do I get there and Manhattan is a big area, any idea where I could find this person?" she asked.
"We've already got a transport set up for you, and we believe they are being held in that world's version of your house." Tom answered, looking a bit uncomfortable.
Dairine just nodded and asked, "When do I leave?"
"If you'll give us a few minutes we'll set up the transport and get you all ready to go." Tom answered. He stood up when Dairine nodded and was quickly followed by Carl.
While the two of them worked on the transit she lay her head back on the couch and closed her eyes, mind working as fast as it could. 'Why would the Lone Power put whoever it is in my house? This doesn't make sense, his only intentions are usually pain and torment, so who would be tormented by being trapped in my house?' she thought, 'Oh god, it couldn't be HIM? No, that's impossible...'
A silent tear trailed down her cheek, which she quickly dashed away before anyone could see it. Everyone knew that she still missed him, but only Nita really knew how deep it went.
"Alright kiddo, all done. Now, make sure you are very careful; I don't want any of those creatures coming back into this world with you. The transit will open up only for you and will only allow what your touching to come back through with you, so make sure that you are holding on to the wizard alright?" Carl explained.
Dairine just nodded and walked over to her dad and gave him a quick hug and kiss. "Love you dad, I'll be back soon."
"Love you too." He replied, and then watched his younger daughter walk into a darker version of their home.
Dairine stood in shock as she looked at her surroundings. Back home it had been dusk, but there had still been some daylight, there was none here. Everything seemed to have a darker, dirtier tint to it.
Almost immediately a creature crawled by, making Dairine hide behind the single piece of furniture in the room, a dirty couch that seemed to be stained with blood. Dairine shuddered, not wanting to know how blood got on the couch. She waited a few moments after the creature had left before cautiously getting up and pressing herself up against the edge of doorway.
Carefully she looked around the corner, looking down the hallway that was so familiar and completely different. For the first time in a long time she felt a familiar feeling. Looking down this hallway, feeling the danger in the air, something of her old spark ignited in her heart. 'It's been a long time since I've been passionate about something...' she realized, thinking back on the past few years.
With a new determination and a look in her eyes that not even the Lone Power would challenge, she charged down the hallway, daring an alien to get in her way. But she wasn't challenged, nothing came after her. When she discovered that the downstairs was empty she headed towards the second floor, hoping she'd find her mysterious prisoner.
She snuck into her Dad's room, then Nita's, and ran into nothing. Finally she swung her door open and froze at what she saw in front of her.
Golden hair lay in a tangled mess, framing a bruised and bloodied face and bare chest. He lay on his side, breath coming raggedly and legs curled towards his chest. He drew a careful breath and coughed, then whispered in a harsh voice. "Back so soon? I thought I'd have at least a couple of days before you decided to come back." Slowly he opened his eyes and looked at her. Shock hit him like a wave, and in a daze he started to try and stand. Dairine hurried over and helped him up, trying to refrain from hugging him.
"Da-Dairine?" he stuttered, staring at her. She got him on his feet and then stepped back, staring back at him.
She couldn't say anything, her throat was closed up, and it took her a moment to realize tears streamed down her cheeks. She collapsed onto her knees, unable to hold in her joy at finding him, and her pain at seeing what they had done to him. She started to babble, quietly at first, then gaining in volume as she was overwhelmed. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." she repeated.
Roshaun kneeled in front of her and grabbed each of her shoulders, and then shook her hard. "Dairine snap out of it, this isn't your fault. We have to get out of here, now!"
Her eyes cleared and she looked up at him. Then she started to smile, her eyes getting a crafty look to them. "Let's leave a little surprise for you know who."
With that same wicked glint in his eyes, Roshaun nodded, and in almost perfect harmony they started to weave a spell.
Mr. Callahan gasped when he saw the condition Roshaun was in when he appeared in the living room. He quickly ran over and grabbed Roshaun before he could fall over, laying him on the couch. When Dairine appeared she heaved a sigh of relief, glade to be back in her own universe.
She hurried over to the couch and hugged Roshaun harder then she should have, because he let out a small gasp of pain. She quickly let go and apologized, then hugged him again, gentler this time. Suddenly she stood up, full of energy.
"I have to call Nita and Kit, and I have to tell your parents, oh and Tom and Carl, and I should probably bring you home to recover, but hell if I'm going to stay home, I'm going with you! Thank god its summer, and Nita and Kit will want to visit, are you ok to travel? How's the medicine in you world compared to ours?" Before she could continue Roshaun grabbed her arm and dragged back down into a sitting position.
"Dairine, relax, I'm alright. If you wish me to go home I will, and I'm fine for moving." Roshaun answered with a small smirk.
Dairine nodded and headed downstairs to the gateway that she could never bare to close, and walked into the mid-afternoon daylight.
The Lone Power smirked as he glided into his version of the Callahan home. He had held captive the younger girls partner for years, and now he had finally broken the King far enough he thought he could get the information he needed out of him.
With a cocky grin he swung open the door, only to be greeted with the door slamming back in his face, hurting his nose, then swinging back open to reveal writing hung in mid air.
Hello there,
Hope you enjoyed our swinging door! I decided to warn you,
mess with him again, and I will not be happy.
-Your Favorite Foe

As soon as I said it, I felt horrible. Yes, my mom wouldn't be the happiest person in the world, but she was the one who always told me to be nice to people. I should've been nice. All the guy wanted wass someone to get over it and forgive him, but no one was willing too.
I sighed and picked up my pace, reaching for my book. As soon as I had it out, it was gone. I heard a laugh that sounded very familer.
"Prue, give it back." I said.
Prue shook her head and looked at the cover.
"Haven't you read this one already?" She asked me.
I nodded. "Yes. And your point is?"
Prue shrugged. "Hoping to steal something new from you, I guess."
I laughed. "Sorry, sis. And haven't you forgotten? I steal books from you. You're the one that spends all your time at the library. And before you start, once again, I would spend more time there if I didn't have band practice."
Prue rolled her eyes and sighed. "Fine, you win." she said, slipping my book back into my satchel. "So, what up with you and murder boy?" she asked.
"Nothing." I said. "Wanted to walk to school with me."
Prue looked horrified. "What did you say?"
I shot her a look, like what do you THINK I said?
"Fine, fine. I'll leave you alone. Sheesh."
I nodded. "Good."

Reformed Apologist makes a very interesting point in one of his recent posts. He makes the claim that a sound proof for God's existence is actually very simple. Here is his proof.
Since the premises in the following argument are true and the form of the argument is valid, the conclusion is reliable and true.
P1. If God has revealed himself, then God exists
P2. God has revealed himself
C. Therefore, God exists
So Christian, please never say again that one cannot prove the existence of God.
The issue is not about proof. Proving God's existence is simple, as was just shown. The issue is over the justification of premises and what people will accept as authoritative. For instance, if one believes that his senses can justify premises, then one might choose to prove that there are crackers in the pantry in the following manner:
P1. If I see crackers in the pantry, then there are crackers in the pantry
P2. I see crackers in the pantry
C. Therefore, there are crackers in the pantry
The deductive argument for there being crackers in the pantry was implicit in Dr. Bahnsen's debate with Gorden Stein. The point I'd like to make is that only a skeptic would deny such a proof can be sound because only a skeptic would deny that one's senses can be reliable. Just the same, if a skeptic did not accept the truth of the premises, the proof would not become invalidated or proven false. In the like manner, only an unbeliever - who is suppressing in unrighteousness the obvious truth of God's revelation - would deny that God has revealed himself and, therefore, God exists. Just as it is true that the skeptic's disfunctional worldview cannot invalidate what is actually true - it is no less true that the fallen worldview invalidates the absolute authority of Scripture. Truth is not a matter of consensus after all. To think so is to confuse proof with persuasion, a fundamental error in apologetics.
I believe that the point being raised by Reformed Apologist, Ronald W. Di Giacomo, is very interesting. After all, it is certainly true that the Christian claim is that God has revealed Himself to mankind. God cannot reveal Himself if He doesn't exist. Hence, it logically follows that this is a sound proof for the existence of God provided that we can establish a sound case that God has revealed Himself.
Of course, that is the real issue, isn't it? After all, if everyone were certain that God had revealed Himself then the case of the apologist would be as easy as pointing to the crackers in the pantry. In such a case, the "cracker-apologist" would invite the "cracker-skeptic" to not only see the crackers but to pick them up and hold them thus increasing the certainty that the crackers were actually present in the pantry. Only a extreme skeptic would deny her own senses when the crackers are pointed out to them and would have to admit that witnessing the crackers in the pantry constitute proof that the crackers actually exist.
Jesus, as an historic person, cannot be seen and examined in the same way. God, as a incorporeal being, cannot be seen and examined in the same way. Thus, we need to establish that God has revealed Himself in a different way. We do so by pointing out that we have other types of evidence for God's existence. Among the evidence is the appearance of Jesus who was born, lived, taught, performed miracles, claimed to be God, was crucified, died and rose again on the third day. The record of these events can be found in the books of the New Testament.
Interestingly, Thomas, one of the disciples, had the opportunity to examine Jesus in the same way that the "cracker-skeptic" had the opportunity to examine the crackers in the analogy. Jesus appeared before the Thomas (the skeptic about the resurrection) providing visual evidence for His resurrection. Additionally, Jesus offered to allow Thomas the tactile evidence of feeling His wounds. Thomas, when confronted with the evidence, cried out "My Lord and my God."
I think that most skeptics, if confronted with the same type of evidence, would do the same. I pray that they come to the conclusion that God exists and that Jesus is His only Son before they see Him face to face.

A True Inspiration
We all know that so far we have been talking about Andy Warhol and his Factory throughout all of these articles, and I think that because this our definite topic for all of these articles and blogs it is important for us to understand just why this type of artist and his ways of doing things were so cool and newsworthy in general. When it comes to Andy Warhol and his art you have to start thinking differently and definitely start thinking outside of the box and that is exactly what Warhol was all about in general and that is why he was such a famous artist. When you start to think differently than you usually do then you most likely are going to experience something very different than what you are used to and that will then elicit a different type of brain frequency that you then project out into the world and most likely on a canvass of any nature which could also be a blank page or really anything.
I think Andy Warhol definitely knew that what he was doing at the time was innovative and progressive in terms of what every other artist was doing back then and that is what made Warhol the epitome of the word cool. Andy Warhol seriously was one of the coolest people on the planet during his prime, and what is so crazy is that he represented all of the things that were against the norm and breaking all the rules in general, and that is what made everyone like him. Warhol wasn't afraid to break the rules and do things and make it his own adaptation of his visions, and of course when you do something like that then you are obviously going to be getting a bunch of different perspectives towards your art. It's not like everyone really like Andy Warhol, but it just so happened that so many different people really did like him and were obsessed with his art work, and of course he was one of the first contemporary artists to make millions of dollars through printmaking and all other sorts of things that were allowing him to make a bunch of money in the 60s and 70s, and it is Warhol's career that we are going to discuss, as well as the Factory within this particular article.
What's so crazy about all of this art that Andy Warhol made during his career is that in today's times we might look at it and be like, oh well anyone could do this today that isn't even that great but that is exactly what made it so great back then in the 60s. He seriously was the first person to think of doing things in a different way and to take photographs and then edit in them in psychedelic ways that made them look really trippy and things like that and of acid type of nature, and of course Warhol was known for a lot of drug use in general and his Factory was his workplace where a bunch of different artists and people who were obviously super cool would come hang out and see everything that Andy was up to and just have a good time. He created the hot water heater photo technique that change photography forever. Yes, the Factory that Andy Warhol put together was definitely the place to go hang out with the rich and famous people in New York City for quite awhile, and I think everyone was attracted to Andy, or at least cutting edge artists were attracted to Andy because he was doing things against the norms of society and was purposely trying to be provocative.
It is through all of Andy Warhol's art that we can start to manage to even begin to think about his legacy as an artist and just as a human being who changed the entire world through art, and I think not many artists will ever get to the point that Andy Warhol did get to, but of course we are all still here looking up to people like Andy Warhol and what he did with the Factory as an example of where you would like to go with your careers in general and try to be just like Andy Warhol in some way or another through our own personal artworks.

Best Upscale Public Centennial Golf Club Centennial is a 27-hole semi private facility in Carmel, NY - about an hour drive from Manhattan in light traffic. It may sound far, but it's hard to find a decent public course without driving at least 30-45 minutes; at that point, the extra 20 minutes is worth it for a good course.

Chelsea is one of New York Citys recently gentrified neighborhoods that is a pleasure to amble through. It is home to art galleries, great shops, and an uncountable number of restaurants. The side streets are dotted with charming townhouses and former warehouses and department stores with great windows that now house the city's photographers, design studios, and architectural firms.

I'm not particularly tall. I'm also not hench either. So I particularly like this video.
Size isn't everything, apparently. I mean, I wouldn't know, but I once asked a girl, for a mate, and she told me.
It's easy to be quite skeptical about that, especially in a confrontational situation. But, if you're more faster and smarter than a big guy, then there is no need to be concerned, as this smaller lad proves.

On every edition, you will find two different producers. Respectively, each producer will have their own record-side and unique cover artwork by the aspiring Bioniq, known for his surrealistic portraits, blending humans and technology. Faces number three will invite the two young producers Sekouia and Rain Dog to share sides on this disc and expose their musical crafts. Coming from Denmark and the UK, respectively, they are with certainty looking forward to long-lasting succesful careers. What they share is a an intrinsic feel for tiny musical details which give their music an intimate feel to keep the listener mesmerized for ages. On this record they experiment with different sounds and tempos to create a dynamic collection of unique compositions that congregate an EP of colourful, low slung and ambient tunes or simply 'chocolatefudgebrownieplasticmusic'. Born in Düsseldorf, Germany and grown up in Detroit, Sekuoia is a project by the 19-year old danish producer Patrick Alexander Bech Madsen. His music, based on guitar melodies, deep bass, organic beats, and chopped and screwed vocal samples, is a take on various genres and he is best described as an experimental electronica producer. His debut EP "Trips" was released in December last year. Having originally studied as an artist, newcomer Rain Dog has spent the last couple of years experimenting with production software, building speakers, composing music for indie shorts and making beats out of various small bedrooms scattered across the north of England. Recently he has settled in London and with a release on Echodub's imprint, Cut and a track featured on Project: Mooncirlce's 10th anniversary box LP, he continues to develop his lowslung melodic compositions.

your comments review this restaurant and win a bottle of champagne
Went here for a birthday meal, we both went for the Vegetarian/Vegan menu and both very disappointed in the food.
Sweet potato waffle and Polenta dish for starter, both very salty, greasy with overpowering cheese.
The main no better, Mezze and Ravioli, far too sweet Mezze, very salty pitta, although Ravioli (1 tiny ravioli) was very nice, the accompanying burnt apple, pears and again very salty Artichoke, reminiscent of those in oily jars just made the dish very poor, add that to the price and a pretty poor affair......
The desserts Pineapple tarte Tatin and Apple caramel with profiteroles though were very good, so at least we ended on a high.
The atmosphere was great, the view also but we came for food too, and this, for OXO and its reputation, was pretty dire.
If you cant do vegetarian dishes - DON'T - certainly not recommended on this basis.

Neuroscience Of Mindfulness: How To Make Your Mind Happy By Getting Your Left Brain Under Control, by Eric Barker
Eric Barker stashed this in Diabolical Plans For World Domination
Stashed in: #happiness, Flow, Brain, @bakadesuyo, Awesome, Stories, Happiness, Be here now., Mindfulness, Mindfulness, Neuroscience, Enlightenment
Here's how to use neuroscience and mindfulness to get Left Brain under control:
- Notice Lefty at work: Listen for his interpretations. That's not you. That's him.
- Correct him: Check his interpretations against the facts. Is he getting too creative? Going overboard?
- Help Lefty be a better storyteller: Give him a new story. Give him better information. Do good to be good. Help him help you.
On rare occasions, Lefty gets completely overwhelmed by the good data the right brain is giving him — and that creates one of the most wonderful feelings in the world.
The amazingness of the moment hits Lefty so hard he's at a loss for words to create a story with and he's speechless. You've experienced this, actually…
You call it "awe."
From The Neurotic's Guide to Avoiding Enlightenment:
Many astronauts have been psychologically changed by the experience of being in space, most notably Edgar Mitchell. In viewing earth from a distance, he had a radical experience that changed his life much more than walking on the moon. Here is his description: "What I experienced during that three-day trip home was nothing short of an overwhelming sense of universal connectedness. I actually felt what has been described as an ecstasy of unity… The thought was so large it seemed inexpressible, and to a large degree it still is." Again, one can see the difficulty of shrinking awareness down to the interpretive mind and then finding words to express what is beyond it.
But awe is rare. We can't all travel to space. (Note to Elon Musk: GET TO WORK.) But there are other methods to stick a sock in Lefty's mouth for a while and really engage with life in a moving and mindful way. You've probably heard of this one, too:
Flow is a type of that "be in the moment" stuff you hear about mindfulness all the time. Getting Lefty to shut up and take a coffee break while you fully engage with reality.
From The Neurotic's Guide to Avoiding Enlightenment:
…described as "flow" by the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. He has used this term to describe the experience that someone has while being totally absorbed in the doing of something. He defines flow as: "Being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. Your whole being is involved, and you're using your skills to the utmost."
(To learn how to increase the amount of flow you experience, click here.)
Sometimes Lefty does a great job. He gives you accurate interpretations, sees insightful patterns and tells you a meaningful story about your life. But he needs to be kept in check.
Jokes aren't funny when they're explained. The magic trick doesn't make you gasp when you're told how it works. We don't always need — or want — director's commentary when we watch the movie of life. Sometimes we need to just be there in the moment.
Yes, you are now officially hearing voices in your head. But that's okay. Just make sure they're good ones.
On the Left Brain being a liar:
My grandmother didn't like the word "liar." She felt it was too harsh. She used to say people were "telling stories." And that's what the left side of your brain does. Constantly.
The right side of your brain sees things pretty concretely. But that guy to his left is always weaving tales to try and make sense of the information coming in. That's his job.
We need Lefty to give meaning to life. He interprets your experiences. If Lefty sees real patterns that others don't, people call you creative. But there's also a problem…
Lefty often screws up.
Michael Gazzaniga, one of the top cognitive neuroscientists, did some brain studies in the 1970's with Roger Sperry (who would later win the Nobel Prize.) Gazzaniga discovered what Lefty's job is — and just how bad Lefty is at it sometimes.
From The Neurotic's Guide to Avoiding Enlightenment:
Gazzaniga discovered that the left side of the brain created explanations and reasons to help make sense about what was going on. It acted as an interpreter to reality… Over the last 30 years, several studies have shown that the left side of the brain, even in normal people, excels at creating an explanation for what's going on, even if it isn't correct.
As the old saying goes, "The map is not the territory." Lefty doesn't have perfect information. And sometimes he's too clever for his own good. He's part of you — and you are fallible.

Review by:
on Feb. 13, 2011 :
Jessica Barksdale Inclan is a romance novelist with a dozen traditionally published books, including the Being and Believe trilogies. Along with her success with traditional publishing houses, Inclan has chosen to explore self publishing and has plans to release a selection of new and backlist works in electronic format.
The Only Thing I See is a contemporary story of complicated relationships. Annabelle Cousins can't seem to find the passion she once had for her career as a wedding photographer. As she looks through her lens she is suddenly seeing more than she expects. Instead of bringing clarity to her life, Annabelle finds her heightened sense are clouding her judgement. She is taken by suprise when her fiance leaves, and confused by her attraction to a groom to be. Her carefully planned life is crumbling around her.
Despite the veneer of romance, this novel is focused on exploring Annabelle's journey towards emotional maturity. I found Annabelle to have a passive nature that highlights her poor self esteem. Self pity is rarely an attractive trait in a romantic heroine yet Annabelle does attract sympathy as she struggles with finding her way towards fulfillment. Most women can empathise with the devastation after the break up of a long term relationship, no matter how appropriate the decision. Inclan captures her hurt, confusion and eventual acceptance deftly.
The romantic relationship is complicated by an obvious obstacle that would usually preclude a developing relationship. I felt sorry for Nadine even while accepting the idea that her relationship with Robert was not meant to be. Inclan has very carefully navigated the path it takes but it's a difficult task and I wasn't wholly convinced. The circumstances don't inspire confidence in the traditional HEA ending yet I was left with the hope that Annabelle would find happiness.
The source of Annabelle's intuition is never fully resolved. Inclan leaves it to the reader to interpret with a deliberate sense of mystery. This thread, and the tarot readings, underscore the idea of fate and destiny and its inevitability that is a major theme in the novel.
A quick and satisying read, The Only Thing I See is a thoughtful story that examines complicated relationships in modern times with original elements and likeable characters.

Annabelle is a wedding photographer. She has a talent for capturing other people's happiness, but has trouble recognizing her own. When she herself becomes engaged, she starts "seeing" the future happiness (or unhappiness) of the lovestruck couples she photographs. The only problem is, she can't seem to see the truth in the relationship right in front of her. With the unintentional nudges of her best friend and her quirky mom, Annabelle finds herself taking a philosophical journey she just wasn't quite ready to take. She can't see herself through her camera lens, but perhaps she can see finally herself through the reflection of the two people who mean the most to her.
I really had fun with this tale by Jessica Barksdale Inclan, devouring it in short order. The characters of Annabelle, her best friend (Khalie), and her mother (Ramona) are all well-developed and quite engaging. Easy to read and utterly charming, it's effortless to become absorbed in this tale of emotional growth overlaid in romantic tones. Although the ending is predictable, it's still satisfying as you wait for Annabelle to finally realize what you've known the whole time. It's a feel-good tale that will leave you with a happy sigh, content that things are right with the world.
There were a few more than a handful of typos in the story- not super distracting, but still noticeable. The storyline flows along fairly smoothly; there are a few bumps for Annabelle along the way, but not really that "gasp" moment present in some books of this genre. I may have preferred a bit more conflict along the way to make that neatly tied-up ending even sweeter. I sometimes prefer a bit of ambiguity in an ending, even for a storyline meant to leave you feeling happy and satisfied. Overall, a great read, one that fans of this genre will devour.
