Gasoline prices increased this week, marking the third straight week that North County gasoline cost more than a low point reached Dec. 11, according to a survey released Wednesday.
Across North County, the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline at stations surveyed for the North County Times was $1.83. The price increased 12 cents from the low three weeks ago, though still far below a June peak of $4.60 per gallon.
The price of crude oil has hovered around $40 per barrel recently, down from a summer peak of $145 per barrel. Yet gasoline prices have inched higher as refineries struggled to make profits amid a glut that developed when consumers cut back on driving, said Bob van der Valk, an analyst with Seaport Petroleum in Seattle.
"We had a double whammy," he said. "At the end of September, the economy crashed, causing demand to go down."
At the same time, the refiners kept producing gasoline at summer levels rather than cutting back for the winter months.
The result: refiners are drawing down production and shutting down some plants to keep their costs low and maintain a profit, van der Valk said. For that reason, he said gasoline prices will tick up to around $2 per gallon over the next few months.
Indeed, the profits for refiners such as Tesoro and Valero have shrunk lately, according to industry sources. Through the first 10 months of the year, the slice of sales from each gallon of gas that went to refiners averaged about 37 cents per gallon, according to data from the California Energy Commission. Over the last two months, that margin has dwindled to 22 cents per gallon, meaning some refiners might be losing money.

A car bomb shook central Damascus on Thursday, exploding near the headquarters of the ruling Baath party and the Russian Embassy, eyewitnesses and opposition activists said. TV footage of the scene showed at least four lifeless bodies.
Syrian state TV also reported the blast in the central Mazraa neighborhood, calling it a "terrorist" attack on a heavily populated area. It did not say what caused the explosion but reported that there were casualties and that the wounded included four children.
The pro-regime TV station Al-Ikhbariya showed images of what appeared to be at least four dead bodies on the ground and cars on fire. The footage shows firefighters trying to douse cars on fire and lifeless bodies lying on the grass of a public garden.
Eyewitnesses at the scene said a car had exploded at a security checkpoint between the Russian Embassy and the central headquarters of the ruling Baath party of President Bashar Assad.
Ambulances rushed to the scene of the blast, which also shattered windows and sent up a huge cloud of smoke visible throughout much of the city, eyewitnesses said.
"It was huge, everything in the shop turned upside down," one local resident said, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution for speaking with foreign media.
Damascus has so far mostly avoided the large-scale violence that has destroyed other Syrian cities, though deadly car bombings have targeted government buildings in the capital.
The blast followed two mortar attacks in as many days on the capital. On Wednesday, two mortar shells exploded near a soccer stadium in Damascus, killing one player. The day before, two mortar shells went off near one of Assad's three palaces in the city, causing only material damage.
Not long after the first blast Thursday, a security official reported a second blast in the capital's northeastern Barzeh neighborhood. He had no other information and spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said two car bombs had exploded near security centers in Barzeh. It gave no further details.
Syria's conflict began in March 2011 with political protests against the government and has since evolved into a civil war between Assad's regime and hundreds of rebel groups seeking to topple it. The U.N. says some 70,000 people have been killed in the conflict so far.

Companies need to prepare for a low-carbon, or carbon-constrained, economy.
Most business leaders are incorporating climate change risk and the cost of carbon into their business strategy.
Regulated companies generally outperform non-regulated firms on carbon performance. At present, however, both sides are mainly taking advantage of inexpensive emission reduction measures.
In the longer term, companies need to prepare for a low-carbon, or carbon-constrained, economy. This process will occur incrementally. Techniques to monitor and report GHG emissions and carbon management strategies are improving, as is our understanding of the impact of risks and opportunities related to climate change.
The response so far is an important development in terms of risk management and value creation. But in time, these strategies will need to be scaled up to incorporate the full cost of carbon. The challenge will be to make sustainable growth compatible with business models. Eventually, some businesses may need to ask themselves if their company actually fits in a low-carbon economy.
Ultimately, this will separate the winners from the losers.

The state Franchise Tax Board announced Friday it would accept 7,000 more applications to reserve the $10,000 homebuyer tax credit.
At the same time, the board announced that it had received 20,760 applications to reserve $106 million in tax credits for homebuyers who haven't owned a home in three years. In April, the state allocated $100 million for buyers of newly built homes and a separate $100 million for new homebuyers. The money will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
"Since many of these are duplicate, revised or invalid applications, we will accept at least 28,000 applications," the board said in a statement. "This will insure that we have enough valid applications to allocate the full $100 million."

At some point over the next month, Jason Kubel will look over from his spot in left field and see two teammates who weren't in the outfield with him when the 2012 season began.
Kubel's Arizona Diamondbacks have gone from Chris Young in center field and Justin Upton in right to Adam Eaton and Cody Ross in those spots. But Kubel himself seemed fairly close to moving elsewhere this past offseason and in fact was mentioned in trade talk.
That speculation ended when the Diamondbacks lost Young and Upton, and Kubel is again expected to start in left for Arizona in 2013.

Album Rating: 3.0Come on Rudy, band is mainstream, you're mainstream, you're obliged to like it. LOL. Just kidding. Can't wait for your Mariah review btw.
"You really think this is heavier?" Sort of. It's difficult to explain. There are no out & out ballads on here (there should have been). Even 'Anthem of the Angels' & 'Give Me A Sign' are strongly guitar-based... Especially if you play them on a hi-fi out loud. In fact, that really hit home when I did. Plus, there are those attempts at death growls. LOL.
Album Rating: 2.5Seriously? I wasn't all that impressed by "Diary of Jane" It might be because I heard it on the radio all the time. His growls have always been weak and pathetic.
lol Dairy of Jane
I loved Phobia, and thought it was their best to date. Ben's voice seemed to have progressed a lot since We Are Not Alone and the instrumentation and overall song-writing seemed a lot stronger, so I'm pretty excited to give this a listen to see what they've done this time.
haha mariah will have to wait for later this week, i have a couple i need to post before staff seizes them. and mika is in the pipeline as soon as it gets published in my school paper tomorrow...bahaha just for you
Album Rating: 3.0Sorry to hear Eclectic. I feel sorry for you if he just comes up to you out of nowhere & starts singing "I will not bow... I will not break..."
Yep, put me down as an 'Evil Angel' liker. Still not as good as 'Diary of Jane' though. All this hate for it is borderline blasphemous. I'm telling you, it's lead single syndrome... along with the overplaying factor LisbonGirls spoke about. We don't have that problem down under as no radio station knows who Breaking Benjamin are!
Album Rating: 2.5That was intentional...no it wasn't but shhh
Album Rating: 3.0I can't disagree with you FxxkIt13, but don't go in expecting too much here or you're sure to be disappointed. There is no great progression on 'Dear Agony'.
Hey Rudy, that Mika guy... He sings for the band fun. yeah? (Comment dedicated to Strikey).
And stop trying to seize reviews from staff you scoundrel.
I doubt he will, since he knows he's a shitty singer, lol, he'll just go crazy over the whole album. Like when he discovered Diary Of Jane the acoustic version and wouldn't shut up about it for a day straight.
Album Rating: 3.0But Eclectic, the acoustic version(s) of 'Diary Of Jane' are soooo good. They do a great acoustic version of 'So Cold' also. It's why it completely confounds me as to why they would not include an acoustic song on this LP.
@DavyBoy- Thats fine by me, i feel like BB probably has gone as far as they ever will musically, so as long as they keep crafting catchy songs like they always have, it will be good enough.
the acoustic version of Diary of Jane was awesome as was So Cold.
great review btw, i forgot to mention that before, but it really does make me wanna check this out.
Album Rating: 3.0"so as long as they keep crafting catchy songs like they always have, it will be good enough." I agree. It's sort of why I half expected them to go in a little bit more of a pop-punk direction here. But there isn't a "woh woh" to be heard.
^^ agreed, great review
The Diary Of Jane, both versions, were great, its just that his reaction to them tells me precisely what he's going to be like with this album.
I guess my post was a little mean, but I was really let down by this. I guess I'll hope if this gets better for me. Good review Davey.
Album Rating: 3.0Thanks Eclectic.
Most people are here to be mean Relinquished. LOL. Will this grow on you? Not a great deal. I've listened to it many times in many different settings and turning it up loud in the car or on a home stereo may help a little. Some songs (especially the closer) get catchier with each listen, but I don't think it's going to jump a rating point or anything like that.
Album Rating: 2.5Best BB song is So Cold without a doubt.
superawesome review.just nailed it.i'd have included lights out in the songs recommended.
BB isnt much of a "album" band but they always have all the songs on a certain level of tolerance.
Album Rating: 3.0Hey Edge... I mean Rated R Superstar. Thanks mate. 'Lights Out' is my 4th fave song on the album, hence why I mentioned it in the review. I just think the other 2 I had ahead of it grow on you a little more.
These guys are definitely not the worst band out there.
Album Rating: 2.5I used to enjoy their previous albums but this was boring as hell

Charlotte Forten (1837-1914)
May those whose holy task it is,
To guide impulsive youth,
Fail not to cherish in their souls
A reverence for truth;
For teachings which the lips impart
Must have their source within the heart.
— Journal of Charlotte Forten, 1853
Charlotte Forten was the first northern African-American schoolteacher to go south to teach former slaves. A sensitive and genteel young woman, she brought intense idealism and fierce abolitionist zeal to her work. As a black woman, she hoped to find kinship with the freedmen, though her own education set her apart from the former slaves. She stayed on St. Helena Island for two years, then succumbed to ill health and had to return north. In 1864, she published "Life on the Sea Islands" in The Atlantic Monthly, which brought the work of the Port Royal Experiment to the attention of Northern readers.
Charlotte Forten was born in Philadelphia in 1837 into an influential and affluent family. Her grandfather, James Forten, had been an enormously successful businessman and significant voice in the abolitionist movement. The family moved in the same circles as William Lloyd Garrison and John Greenleaf Whittier: intellectual and political activity were part of the air Charlotte Forten breathed.
She attended Normal School in Salem, Massachusetts and began her teaching career in the Salem schools, the first African-American ever hired. But she longed to be part of a larger cause, and with the coming of the Civil War Forten found a way to act on her deepest beliefs. In 1862, she arrived on St. Helena Island, South Carolina, where she was the only African American teacher in the Port Royal Experiment, teaching formerly enslaved people. Her Journal includes meetings with Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, commander of the all-black 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment (about which the movie Glory was made) and Thomas Wentworth Higginson, colonel of the 1st South Carolina Volunteers, the first federally authorized African-American regiment.
Today, Forten is best remembered for her diaries. From 1854-64, she recorded the life of an intelligent, cultured, romantic woman who read and wrote poetry, attended lectures, worked, and took part in the largest social movement of her time. She was determined to embody the intellectual potential of all black people. She set a course of philosophical exploration, social sophistication, cultural achievement and spiritual improvement. She was, above all, dedicated to social justice.
In her later life, she lived in Washington D.C. and continued to support equal rights for African-Americans. She married the minister Francis Grimke, nephew of the crusading Grimke sisters. After many years as an invalid, she died in 1914, having been a voice for equality throughout her life.
"Monday, October 23, 1854: I will spare no effort to prepare myself well for the responsible duties of a teacher, and to live for the good I can do my oppressed and suffering fellow creatures."
"Thursday, November 13, 1862: Talked to the children a little while to-day about the noble Toussaint [L'Ouverture]. They listened very attentively. It is well that they should know what one of their own color could do for his race. I long to inspire them with courage and ambition (of a noble sort), and high purpose."
Charlotte Forten was born on August 17, 1837, in Philadelphia, PA. She kept a diary of her involvement with the abolition movement and became the first African-American hired to teach white students in Salem, MA. In 1862, Forten participated in the Port Royal Experiment, educating ex-slaves on St. Helena Island, South Carolina and recording her experiences in a series of essays. She died in 1914.
Educator, writer, and activist, Charlotte Forten was born into a wealthy and influential African-American family, Her diaries chronicle the social and political issues of the times—the fight to end slavery, the Civil War, and the state of race relations. Her grandfather, James Forten, made a fortune with an invention that assisted sailors with heavy sails. He was an outspoken abolitionist and supporter of William Lloyd Garrison's antislavery publication The Liberator. Forten's parents were also active in the movement. Her mother, Mary, helped establish the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society, and her father Robert often lectured in support of the abolitionist cause.
When Forten was 3 years old, her mother died. An only child, she spent much of her early years in solitude, educated by tutors. When she was 16 years old, her father decided to send her to an integrated school in Salem, Massachusetts, where she lived with the Remond family and began keeping a diary. In it, she wrote about her involvement in the antislavery movement in the Boston area. She deepened her connections to family friends in the movement, such as Garrison and John Greenleaf Whittier, during her time there. After completing her studies, Forten became a teacher in Salem. She was the first African-American teacher hired to teach white students in the town. Unfortunately, Forten had to resign after two years because of ill health. Returning to Philadelphia, Forten started writing poetry while she tried to regain her health.
In 1862, Forten traveled to St. Helena Island, South Carolina, to work as a teacher. There, she participated in what became known as the Port Royal Experiment. In 1861 the Union Army had taken over Port Royal, a Confederate military base on the Sea Islands off the coast of South Carolina. The area was home to thousands of slaves who had been abandoned by their owners. The former slaves were largely illiterate, and some did not know English. The Union Army wanted to help these people learn to live independently on local lands. For 18 months, Forten worked with children, adults and soldiers stationed there as part of this program. The only African-American teacher to participate in the experiment, Forten's efforts to help the project became a personal mission, reaching outside the classroom, and she found herself visiting the homes of the various families in order to instill "self-pride, self-respect, and self-sufficiency." Forten wrote about her experiences in her diary, and a series of her entries were later published in the form of the essay series "Life on the Sea Islands" for the Atlantic Monthly in 1864.
Forten began to experience terrible headaches and went home to Philadelphia in 1864. For several years she worked for the Teachers Committee of the New England Freemen's Union Commission and later returned to teaching, spending time in Charleston, South Carolina, and Washington, D.C.
In 1878, Forten married Francis J. Grimke, a Presbyterian minister. He was the nephew of two famous social activists, Sarah and Angelina Grimke. Throughout the rest of her life, Forten wrote and spoke out on social issues, including women's rights and racial prejudice. She also supported her husband's work at the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C. With her writings, she has provided an eyewitness account of a pivotal and turbulent time in American history, offering her readers a glimpse of such famous figures as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and many other leading activists of her day.
Prompt 1: Charlotte wanted to be a teacher and wrote the poem above in her journal. What do you want to do with your life? What will guide you to success? Write a poem or journal entry on how you see your future.
These Quotes are from Journal One: Salem, May 24, 1854 – December 31, 1856
Quote 2 -May 24, 1854 [first entry in Forten's journal; age 16]. Rose at five. The sun was shining brightly through my window, and I felt vexed with myself that he should have risen before me; I shall not let him have that advantage again very soon. How bright and beautiful are these May mornings!—The air is so pure and balmy, the trees are in full blossom, and the little birds sing sweetly. I stand by the window listening to their music, but suddenly remember that I have an Arithmetic lesson which employs me until breakfast; then to school; recited my lessons, and commenced my journal. After dinner practiced a music lesson, did some sewing, and then took a pleasant walk by the water. I stood for some time, admiring the waves as they rose and fell, sparkling in the sun, and could not help envying a party of boys who were enjoying themselves in a sailing-boat. On my way home I stopped at Mrs. Putnam's and commenced reading "Hard Times," a new story by Dickens. . . .
Prompt 2 – Charlotte moved to a new city, started a new school and began her journal. Reflect on new beginnings. How do you start your day? How do you spend your time? Write a journal entry about your first day of school this year.
Quote 3 – June 2, 1854. Our worst fears are realized; the decision was against poor Burns, and he has been sent back to a bondage worse, a thousand times worse than death. Even an attempt at rescue was utterly impossible; the prisoner was completely surrounded by soldiers with bayonets fixed, a cannon loaded, ready to be fired at the slightest sign.16 To-day Massachusetts has again been disgraced; again she has showed her submission to the Slave Power; and Oh! with what deep sorrow do we think of what will doubtless be the fate of that poor man, when he is again consigned to the horrors of Slavery. With what scorn must that government be regarded, which cowardly assembles thousands of soldiers to satisfy the demands of slaveholders; to deprive of his freedom a man, created in God's own image, whose sole offense is the color of his skin! And if resistance is offered to this outrage, these soldiers are to shoot down American citizens without mercy; and this by the express orders of a government which proudly boasts of being the freest in the world; this on the very soil where the Revolution of 1776 began; in sight of the battle-field, where thousands of brave men fought and died in opposing British tyranny, which was nothing compared with the American oppression to-day. I can write no more. A cloud seems hanging over me, over all our persecuted race, which nothing can dispel.
Prompt 3 – The year is 1854, and Anthony Burns, a 20-year-old Virginia slave, has escaped to Boston. But according to the Fugitive Slave Act, a runaway can be captured in any free state, and Anthony is soon imprisoned. The antislavery forces in Massachusetts are outraged, but the federal government backs the Fugitive Slave Act, sparking riots in Boston and fueling the Abolitionist movement. Charlotte gives a first-hand account of this event. What do you witness in the world around you? How do you feel about it? Write a journal entry about something you have seen that stirred your emotions.
Quote 4 – Aug. 17, 1854. My birthday [age 17].— How much I feel to-day my own utter insignificance! It is true the years of my life are but few. But have I improved them as I should have done? No! I feel grieved and ashamed to think how very little I know to what I should know of what is really good and useful. May this knowledge of my want of knowledge be to me a fresh incentive to more earnest, thoughtful action, more persevering study! I believe it will. . . .
Prompt 4 – We are all overwhelmed sometimes. What overwhelms you? How do you express it? What do you do about it? Write a journal entry that explores these questions.
Quote 5 – Sept. 5, 1854. . . . I have suffered much to-day,—my friends Mrs. P[utnam] and her daughters were refused admission to the Museum, after having tickets given them, solely on account of their complexion. Insulting language was used to them—Of course they felt and exhibited deep, bitter indignation; but of what avail was it? none, but to excite the ridicule of those contemptible creatures, miserable doughfaces who do not deserve the name of men. I will not attempt to write more.—No words can express my feelings. But these cruel wrongs cannot be much longer endured. A day of retribution must come. God grant that it may come very soon!
Prompt 5 – Charlotte reflects on an encounter with racism. Have you experienced this? How do
you react? Write a journal entry on an experience with prejudice because of race, sex, age etc..
Quote 6 – Sept. 12, 1855. To-day school commenced.—Most happy am I to return to the companionship of my studies,—ever my most valued friends. There is one young girl and only one—Miss [Sarah] B[rown] who I believe thoroughly and heartily appreciates anti-slavery,—radical anti-slavery, and has no prejudice against color. I wonder that every colored person is not a misanthrope. Surely we have everything to make us hate mankind. I have met girls in the schoolroom[—]they have been thoroughly kind and cordial to me,—perhaps the next day met them in the street—they feared to recognize me; these I can but regard now with scorn and contempt,—once I liked them, believing them incapable of such meanness. Others give the most distant recognitions possible.—I, of course, acknowledge no such recognitions, and they soon cease entirely. These are but trifles, certainly, to the great, public wrongs which we as a people are obliged to endure. But to those who experience them, these apparent trifles are most wearing and discouraging; even to the child's mind they reveal volumes of deceit and heartlessness, and early teach a lesson of suspicion and distrust. Oh! it is hard to go through life meeting contempt with contempt, hatred with hatred, fearing, with too good reason, to love and trust hardly anyone whose skin is white,—however lovable, attractive and congenial in seeming. In the bitter, passionate feelings of my soul again and again there rises the questions "When, oh! When shall this cease?" "Is there no help?" "How long oh! How long must we continue to suffer—to endure?" Conscience answers it is wrong, it is ignoble to despair; let us labor earnestly and faithfully to acquire knowledge, to break down the barriers of prejudice and oppression. Let us take courage; never ceasing to work,—hoping and believing that if not for us, for another generation there is a better, brighter day in store,—when slavery and prejudice shall vanish before the glorious light of Liberty and Truth; when the rights of every colored man shall everywhere be acknowledged and respected, and he shall be treated as a man and a brother!
Prompt 6 – Charlotte was sent to Salem MA at the age of 16 because there were no integrated schools in Philadelphia and her father wanted the best schooling possible for her. In Salem she excels in school but experiences the hypocrisy of fellow students who are nice to her in school but ignore her on the street. Think about your own experience. How do you excel? How do you get the best possible education? If you have experienced the hypocrisy of supposed friends succumbing to peer pressure to ignore you, how do you deal with it? Create some poems or journal entries around these topics.
These Quotes are from Life on the Sea Isle, Atlantic Monthly, May & June 1864
This article was an edited version of the Journal October 1862-May 1864 by Charlotte Forten, age 24
Background: In 1861 the Union liberated the Sea Islands off the coast of South Carolina and their main harbor, Port Royal. The white residents fled, leaving behind 10,000 black slaves. The question in Washington was "can the former slaves be educated and become productive members of society?" Several private Northern charity organizations stepped in to help the former slaves become self-sufficient. The result was a model of what Reconstruction could have been. The African Americans demonstrated their ability to work the land efficiently and live independently of white control. They assigned themselves daily tasks for cotton growing and spent their extra time cultivating their own crops, fishing and hunting. By selling their surplus crops, the locals acquired small amounts of property. Charlotte Forten was the only African American among the 50 teachers and hundreds of supervisors that made up the Port Royal Experiment.
Quote 7 – "It is wonderful how a people who have been so long crushed to the earth, so imbruted as these have been, — and they are said to be among the most degraded negroes of the South, — can have so great a desire for knowledge, and such a capability for attaining it. One cannot believe that the haughty Anglo-Saxon race, after centuries of such an experience as these people have had, would be very much superior to them. And one's indignation increases against those who, north as well as south, taunt the colored race with inferiority while they themselves use every means in their power to crush and degrade them, denying them every right and privilege, closing against them every avenue of elevation and improvement."
Prompt 7 – What are the results of repression? What are the results of "low expectations?" How do you survive and rise above these experiences?
Quote 8 -"Harry, the foreman on the plantation, a man of a good deal of natural intelligence, was most desirous of learning to read. He came in at night to be taught, and learned very rapidly. I never saw any one more determined to learn. We enjoyed hearing him talk about the "gun- shoot," — so the people call the capture of Bay Point and Hilton Head. They never weary of telling you "how Massa run when he hear de fust gun."
"Why did n't you go with him, Harry?" I asked. "Oh, Miss, 't was n't 'cause Massa did n't try to 'suade me. He tell we dat de Yankees would shoot we, or would sell we to Cuba, an' do all de wust tings to we, when dey come. 'Bery well, Sar,' says L 'If I go wid you, I be good as dead. If I stay here, I can't be no wust; so if I got to dead, I might 's well dead here as anywhere. So I 'll stay here an' wait for de "dam Yankees."' Lor', Miss, I knowed he was n't tellin' de truth all de time.– "But why did n't you believe him, Harry?" "Dunno, Miss; somehow we hear de Yankees was our friends, an' dat we 'd be free when dey come, an' 'pears like we believe dat."
Prompt 8 – How do you relate/respond to authority? Do you believe what you are told? How do you choose what it is you will do?
Quote 9 – "A very queer-looking old man came into the store one day. He was dressed in a complete suit of brilliant Brussels carpeting. Probably it had been taken from his master's house after the "gun-shoot"; but he looked so very dignified that we did not like to question him about it. The people called him Doctor Crofts, –which was, I believe, his master's name, his own being Scipio. He was very jubilant over the new state of things, and said to Mr. H., –" Don't hab me feelins hurt now. Used to hab 'me feelins hurt all de time. But don't hab 'em hurt now no more." Poor old soul! We rejoiced with him that he and his brethren no longer have their "feelins" hurt, as in the old time."
Prompt 9 – Charlotte's stories of the formerly enslaved gives us a different view of slavery. Think about having your feelings hurt all the time. What hurts your feelings? How do you protect yourself? How do you go on?
Our hope is that these workshops will produce a body of work by students which can be published in a chapbook entitled Finding Purpose: Students Respond to Charlotte Forten's Journal. Charlotte was an amazing woman whose journal recorded the life of an abolitionist teacher in the mid-nineteenth century and is reflective of both herself and her society.
Submissions for the ChapBook must be sent by email to email@example.com, be one page in type not smaller than times new roman 12point, and include a bio statement of the students name, age, school, workshop they attended and their email (communication can be through a teacher) as well as their poem or journal entry. Submissions can be sent any time between January 21 and February 16, 2014. A book release reading, where all participants will receive one copy of the chapbook, will take place on Saturday March 8, 2014. Selected students will be invited to present their work at the other Charlotte Forten events between March 9 and 16, 2014.

The Education of Black People – Discussion on Education and the African American Experience with Allan Ballard author of Education of Black Folk
This is part 7 of our on-going Hidden History project that looks at the life and work of activists and relates their work to issues of today. Charlotte Forten's Journals reflect the life of an intelligent, cultured, romantic woman who read and wrote poetry, attended lectures, worked, and took part in the largest social movement of her time. Determined to embody the intellectual potential of all black people, she set a course of philosophical exploration, social sophistication, cultural achievement and spiritual improvement, and was, above all, dedicated to social justice. A look at her life stimulates a discussion on the education of African Americans in particular and the public education policy in general.
Hidden History
It is the history of the activists who struggled in the streets to make the United States live up to its promise of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for everyone regardless of race, class, gender, ethnicity, religion, age, sexual orientation, etc. Two week long programs are presented twice a year consisting of about twenty presentations. Moonstone has presented programs on Thomas Paine, John Brown, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, John C. Fremont, Martin R. Delany, Ida B. Wells, and Voices of Womem (Lucretia Mott, Margaret Fuller & Harriet Jacobs).
Moonstone Inc. is a 501(C)3 non-profit founded in 1983. Our mission is education across the spectrum, intersecting ethnicity, race, gender, class, age and sexual orientation, encouraging dialogue and discourse.
Moonstone Inc. operates the Moonstone Preschool in South Philadelphia and The Moonstone Arts Center.
The Moonstone Arts Center's mission is to inspire audiences, stimulate dialogue, foster understanding, and build communities. Our motto is "Education Through the Arts from the Cradle to the Grave." This is our seventeenth year presenting Poetry Ink: 100 poets reading, we created The Celebration of Black Writing (which we operated for 18 years before giving it to Art Sanctuary), The Paul Robeson Festival for eight years, Festival Cubano for three years and various other arts and humanities programs over the last 30 years. Our Hidden History project presents city wide festivals celebrating the life and work of activists who made great contributions to the United States but are not in the history books. Moonstone is not connected with any university or major funding organization but exists through the generosity of the people who work with us. Learn more about us at www.moonstoneartscenter.org

Old Testosterone the Final Cut
- Artist: Joe Kulbago
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 6/27/2014
Old Testosterone The Final Cut is collection of original songs by Joe Kulbago. The album offer a wide variety of music ranging from 50's Pop Rock to Soft Rock to Instrumental Rock. 50's Pop Rock It's Not Just You Anymore - Married? Feeling like your doing all the work? This song is about both people in a relationship needing to work together on the new priorities. Time Waits For No One - Love can last a life time, if only for a little while. This is a very emotional song. Only those with a heart of stone will not tear up. Waitin' At A Stop Light With No One Around - We all seem to wait until the time is right to say what we are feeling. In reality, there is no time like the present. Don't wait! Tell that special someone what is truly in your heart now! Soft Rock What Men Want - So much has been said about Guys not having a clue over the past years. This song gives a Guy's perspective of what men what. My Daughters And Me - My two Daughters have long gown up and have their own children. Looking back in the early years with them, I've had some regrets. This song is dedicated to them and these thoughts. AA And The DA - Just a fun song about my Grand Kids. Hard Feelings - The song idea came from sitting in an Airport, waiting for a plane after a week away from home. It's about loosing the comfort you get while away from home and at the same time very happy to be going home. After the song was complete, it grew to be so much more. As we loose people in our lives, this song gives hope that not ALL is lost. Walkin' on a Cool Summer's Day - Looking back on my life, it seems I've been constantly searching for something as we all are. Some great music for soul searching. Instrumental Rock Trouble's Comin' - Some people see trouble as something to fear while others see it as an expectation of fun. This song merges both thoughts. A little bit serious and a little bit of fun! I've been told it sounds like ZZ Top and Thin Lizzy. I Just Wanna Be A Man - Hey guys, are you tied of everyone telling you how to be politically correct, how to be sensitive around women, how to be considerate of others? The mood of this song is I just want to be a man sometimes! Soft Rock Instrumental. If Things Were Perfect - This song is about being frustrated over daily life problems. Ever think of some crazy solutions to the problems? You know, the ones you don't dare tell anyone else about! That car up ahead is going too slow for me, snap my fingers and it disappears! Your lady is going on 90 miles an hour about something you did or didn't do, just flip the off switch! Above The Clouds - Above The Clouds was written by Tim and I while we were on retreat with our Wifes at a great cabin in north Georgia. The name of the property was, of course, Above the Clouds. With 270 degree, panoramic views, you felt like you were on top of the world. Jay Rock - What can I say! The cords sounded good, add a great beat and guitar lead and this is what I ended up with! Climbin' The Walls - Life is going along fairly well. You have some problems, but your dealing with them. Suddenly, it all falls apart and your Climbing The Walls! Santana influenced.

Innocent Love - Poem by Jahan zaib
Your game of darling doll, mine of the mimic train
Unpopular your doll, always was in my brain
My train would I aim always at your silver doll
Your tears my anger, thus we spent our day all
Screaming with wet eyes, you would go to your mom
'Look! He's broken my doll.' You would say in angry form
I would say to my mom, 'my train, look! She broke'
Angry with a stick in hand, your mom would me poke
Came to know some years later
That was love in my heart
Same it was in your breast
You wished my love for you
More than my dummy train
I wished you always care
For me more than your doll
When I crushed my heavy train
With your doll with golden hair
My anger carried love
Love was in you darling tears.

Symptoms of
are due to interruption of the blood supply to part of your brain. They occur suddenly and differ depending on the part of the brain affected. Multiple symptoms generally arise together because the blood vessel that is blocked may supply a large enough area of the brain to include multiple functions. Anything your brain does may be affected.

The most common symptoms include:
Call for emergency medical help immediately. Brain tissue dies quickly when deprived of oxygen. But, there is a brief window of opportunity to reverse some of the damage.
Strokes are classified according to their course in time:
After a stroke, it is common to have emotional disturbances, as well as physical limitations. Keep these in mind, since they too may need treatment.

Kiehl's x Nick Wooster: Age Defender Collection
June 16, 2016, Grooming|
Fashion icon Nick Wooster partnered with Kiehl's to produce three creative how-to videos featuring the Woost himself, who gives practical and accessible men's grooming and fashion tips in real-life scenarios. At the heart of the collaboration is the newly launched Kiehl's Age Defender Collection, featuring three products - a serum, moisturiser and eye repair combo.
The Age Defender Power Serum is Kiehl's first-ever serum for men, and we dare say it's the New York-based grooming brand's finest work for its men's range. If you can only get one out of the three, we highly recommend the Age Defender Power Serum.
Oh, and enjoy the video above.
The Age Defender Collection is out now at all Kiehl's stores

A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war, wide awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance. Going to knowledge or going to war in any other manner is a mistake, and whoever makes it will live to regret his steps.
When a man has fulfilled those four requisites there are no mistakes for which he will have to account; under such conditions his acts lose the blundering quality of a fool's acts. If such a man fails, or suffers a defeat, he will have lost only a battle, and there will be no pitiful regrets over that....freedom man!! thats what we r all here for , get all ur self to total freedom , whatever i do, like when i surf or meditate its all just about freedom

I know what i'd buy for that money:
Bike Forum
OT - Dark Side "Race" Wheel upgrade
Finbar - I like the sound of those.
Recap -
1. Handbuilts as per Finbar or hubs of choice with Ambrosio rims
2. Sram 30 Sprint
3. Neutrons
4. Dura Ace CL Clinchers.
From what I can tell all similar weights (150grams diff). So it comes down to performance and cost (perhaps serviceability and longevity)
I've got the neutron ultras on my omega and I really like them. Admittedly I bought them second hand so didn't pay full price. They definately feel an upgrade from the ksyrium elites they replaced.
I'd still go shimano, put 000's of miles into a set of r-550's one summer on potholed b/un-classified/un-made roads and they didn't even develop a wobble, did have to put 1/4 turn on the DS rear spokes though to keep them stiff under power. They weren't the stiffest, but never rubbed on the brake pads so must have been stiff enough, and the low spoke count and normal-ish rim kept them comfortable which makes more of a difference after 100miles.
Really the only way to go is handbuilt, find a good wheelbuilder, someone like Paul Hewitt or Derek at wheelsmith loads of others too, tell him what you want ( he will have far more knowledge about " race" wheels than many of the posters on here) and you will get a set of wheels that will be lighter, easier to service and last longer than many of the suggestions given.
Oh and don't go talking about the darkside as they will just think you are a complete T1T.
when was the last time a "race" was won on "hand built" wheels?
As someone wayyyyyy up there -----^ points out, high end wheels are built by hand, by guys who are just as talented at building a wheel as any one man band in a shed eating hob-nobs and drinking Yorkshire tea.
And when we're talking about spending £500+ on wheels, £15 for a spoke that may never need replacing pales into insignificance. There (by the sounds of it) his Sunday wheels, handbuilts (custom built might be a better term anyway?) have their place, but I'd never think of them for racing?
when was the last time a "race" was won on "hand built" wheels?erm all the time.
£500 isn't high end
And it's not the just cost of the spoke its the time you have to wait for your lbs to order it.
Boonen on some nice handbuilts and I wouldn't be suprised if Ballan's were too just re stickered to keep the sponsors happy.
Can't decide if to go for Handbuilts or the DA 7850 Clincher carbon laminate non UST at 1392g
Question, as I've mentioned above I'm a mid to rear pack racer. I actually race on bog standard Aksiums, do you think in all honesty a £500 pair of wheels will help at all?
One thing that bothers me is the amount of potholes I've crashed through and debris I've encountered on circuits, would something sub 1500g be up to the job.
I can see what you're saying Ed, but I'm going to totally disagree with you!
Yes the classics are largely raced on low pro 'handbuilt' wheels, but I'll assume our OP isn't riding pave at 35mph with a very strong likelihood of smashing wheels!
'Factory' wheels are still built by hand, as above. FFWD wheels are all built by some fellow called 'Zoran' or sommat. Let's be honest, if there was a genuine advantage to running some DA hubs on Open Pros then it would be more common place in conventional road races. There's enough teams out there running Mavic, FFWD, Roval, Bontrager wheels etc that it's obviously not a problem for them!
As for the spares, save for Mavic, the rest of those brands use conventional spokes anyway, rather negating that argument!
My man that sorts my kit reckons D.T.Swiss RR1.1 on Ultegra and Revolution spokes would be ideal for me.
Edit; He also said save your money anf loose weight
I have these, which are nice.
I also have these, at half the price but great performers.
Those DA ones are pretty weighty though, I looked at the full carbon tub version, awesome looking wheels, the old decals would've looked spot on on my Madone!

Globetrotter was once the best paid local politician in country
DARA Murphy is well accustomed to globetrotting.
As Cork City Council Lord Mayor, Mr Murphy clocked up a €15,000 bill travelling the world at the taxpayer's expense.
During his 12 months in the office between 2009 and 2010 the Cork North Central TD visited San Francisco, New York and Shanghai.
He also visited London and Brussels while lord mayor. At the time, the Fine Gael deputy was the best paid local politician receiving €126,000 in payments, allowances and expenses during his time in office.
Mr Murphy was accompanied by his wife Tanya on a number of the foreign jaunts and her travel and accommodations costs were met by the city council.
The former catering business boss was elected to the Dail for the first time in 2011 and is a loyal supporter of Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
He was elected to Cork City Council in 2004 in his second attempt at running for office and was re-elected five years later.
He had a run-in with a constituency colleague in the lead-up to the last general election when he dropped leaflets into a catchment area designated for his running mate.
In Leinster House, he served as chair of the internal Fine Gael committee on European Affairs, Foreign Affairs and Trade. He was also a member of the Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade before he was promoted this week.
His love of languages will also aid him in his new role as Minister of State for European Affairs as he speaks French, German and Irish.
Former Fine Gael Taoiseach John Bruton appointed Mr Murphy as his representative on the National Economic and Social Council between 1995 and 1998.
Mr Murphy also has an interest in justice matters and chaired Cork City Council's policing committee.

new national study finds increasing number of injuries from hot tubs
New National Study Finds Increasing Number of Injuries from Hot Tubs
Number has more than doubled over last 18 years
Columbus, OH - 11/3/2009
Though hot tubs, whirlpools and spas are widely used for relaxation and fun, they can pose serious risk for injury. Over the past two decades, as recreational use of hot tubs has increased, so has the number of injuries. A recent study conducted by the Center for Injury Research and Policy of The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital found that from 1990-2007, the number of unintentional hot tub-related injuries increased by 160 percent, from approximately 2,500 to more than 6,600 injuries per year.
According to the study, published in the online issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 73 percent of the patients with hot tub-related injuries were older than 16 and approximately one half of all injuries resulted from slips and falls. Lacerations were the most commonly reported injuries (28 percent) and the lower extremities (27 percent) and the head (26 percent) were the most frequently injured body parts.
"While the majority of injuries occurred among patients older than 16, children are still at high risk for hot tub-related injuries," said study author
Lara McKenzie, PhD
, principal investigator at the
Center for Injury Research and Policy
at Nationwide Children's Hospital. "Due to the differing mechanisms of injury and the potential severity of these injuries, the pediatric population deserves special attention."
Among children younger than 6 years, near-drowning was the most prevalent mechanism of injury, accounting for more than two-thirds of injuries, while children ages 6-12 were more likely to be injured by jumping and diving in or around a hot tub. Additionally, some of the most severe hot tub-related injuries associated with suction drains (such as entanglement, body entrapment and drowning) are predominately seen in children. To help prevent these serious injuries, legislation mandating certain standards for suction covers was passed in 2007.
"Although some steps have been taken to make hot tubs safer, increased prevention efforts are needed," said Dr. McKenzie, also a faculty member of The Ohio State University College of Medicine. Recommendations to prevent hot tub-related injuries include placing slip resistant surfacing in and around the hot tub and limiting time and temperature of hot tub exposure to 10-15 minutes at no more than 104° F. Additionally, to prevent injuries to children, parents should keep hot tubs covered and locked when not in use, consider installing a fence or barrier around the area, set rules prohibiting jumping and diving, and comply with suction cover standards.
This is the first study to report national estimates, rates and trends of hot tub-related injuries for all ages treated in United States emergency departments. Data for this study were collected from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), which is operated by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The NEISS dataset provides information on consumer product-related and sports and recreation-related injuries treated in hospital emergency departments across the country.

Pat Green

1003 Arch Street
Philadelphia, PA, 19107
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 7:30 PM
"Texas native Pat Green got his start in country music while still attending college in the mid-'90s. As a teenager, Green quickly took to the sounds of several Lone Star State performers like Robert Earl Keen, Waylon Jennings, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Willie Nelson. He started writing songs at age 18 while studying at Texas Tech, and Green was eager and earnest in making something happen. He convinced his parents to loan him some money to record an album. The independently released Dancehall Dreamer appeared in 1998 just as Green was becoming a hot performer on the local bar scene. A year later, Green wowed an audience of 2,000 people at Willie Nelson's July 4th picnic, and that magnetic event was captured for his second album, Live at Billy Bob's Texas. Green continued to write and record as the decade came to a close. Songs We Wish We'd Written was issued in 2001, and in five years' time, Green had sold over 200,000 copies without major-label support. Republic was so impressed with Green's grassroots approach that they inked him a deal before Christmas. Three Days marked his first proper release. Two years later, Green joined producer Don Gehman (Hootie & the Blowfish, R.E.M., Nanci Griffith) for Wave on Wave, and in 2004 Lucky Ones came out. In 2006, after a move to RCA imprint BNA, Cannonball was issued, followed by What I'm For in 2009, which found Green working with producer Dann Huff." - MacKenzie Wilson, AllMusicGuide

'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' Foodcap: Welcome To The Freaking Twilight Zone
This week on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, the ladies were in some sort of Twilight Zone, as Cynthia Bailey pointed out. Instead of indulging in their normal healthy caloric intake, they were freaking out on each other, for basically no reason. What happens when the producers replace our Housewives food with feelings of disdain, distrust and derision? Let's watch!
Scene: Kim talks to her girl/friend Tracy Young
Food: Large coffee, fear
Kim's trying to put out her second single, and is finding that having a terrible singing voice is starting to inhibit her singing career. She chats with Tracy, her DJ lesbian pseudo girlfriend and convinces her to come to Atlanta for moral support while she works on her voice for her new single.
Who is Tracy? According to Kim:
"Tracy's a DJ And I met her because she wanted to remix "Tardy for the Party." We'd sit there and listen to music all day and all night… And we had sex. Great. QUIVER!"
There seems to be a weird power struggle going on here. It looks like Tracy wants to be Kim's girlfriend. And Kim doesn't want people talking about them getting it on. (Even tho she sold that story to the tabloids.)
Scene: Sheree talks to her acting coach Kristen
Food: Sheree's fear and loathing
Sheree does not appear to be terribly good at acting. But that's not going to stop her from getting acting work. However, Sheree seems to think that becoming an actor means immediately getting paid bank:
"I'm a grown ass woman. With some grown ass bills."
Hmn. Maybe She By Sheree, her clothing line, isn't doing so well? How long is that new Aston Martin gonna stay around, Sheree?
Scene: Peter makes dinner for Cynthia
Food: Fish, vegetables, resentment
Peter is pissed that Cynthia talks on the phone with NeNe when he's home. And actually tells her at one point:
"Your man is happy you have a girlfriend. But when he walks in the house, he wants your devoted attention."
Um, maybe Cynthia is actually worried about marrying Peter because he's a crazy control freak? Guess we'll find out more about that later.

OK, so going to the movies isn't what it used to be. Gone are the days of lumpy seats, scratchy sound and views of the person's head in front of you. But one thing never seems to change: complaints about skyrocketing ticket prices, especially from groups and families who want an evening out catching the latest Hollywood release as they feast on popcorn, candy and soda pop.
"Ticket prices are too high," exclaimed Ethelyn Eblaan of Sun Valley, who was out one recent Saturday night with her sister Julia McBride and granddaughter Janae at the Mann's Plant 16 in Van Nuys to see a holiday flick.
Waiting in line for tickets, Eblaan confessed that despite her frustrations about high prices, she remains loyal to the Plant. "We come here all the time," she said. The reasons: convenience and comfort.
"Theaters are a lot nicer today than when we were kids," she said. "I like the big seats and the big screen."

The property giant will now collaborate with the council on detailed building and public space designs for the project. It will also manage development, construction and investment at the project, which will yield about 2500 new homes, at least 25 per cent of which will be affordable housing.
The project will also deliver shops, restaurants, community facilities and 4.53 hectares of public space by 2025. Lend Lease won approval in November for One The Elephant, a 37-storey residential development in the same area.
Lend Lease managing director Steve McCann said the approval strengthened the company's position in the UK market. The company also this month snared the $264 million construction contract on two new buildings in central London.
Lend Lease's positive news flow and a buoyant market for property stocks has seen its share price surge in recent months. It rose from below $8.50 in November to end yesterday at $9.78, its highest close since January 2010.
Merrill Lynch analysts this week upgraded Lend Lease to a buy recommendation, citing the "resolution of the [Australian] minority government, new infrastructure programs, an improving residential market and a stabilising US and Europe".
Morgan Stanley likewise has a positive "overweight" rating on Lend Lease. "We expect several large developments will start to drive earnings growth over the next three years," Morgan Stanley analysts said.

Report: Iran Authorities Behind Attack on U.K. Embassy
Photographs from so-called student protest show members of Basij forces taking part; attack was also filmed life, something that is not permitted without approval by Khamanei.
The storming of the British embassy in Tehran earlier this week was not an improvised student protest but an attack planned and supervised by Iranian authorities, sources told the Al-Arabiya News Channel on Thursday.
The attack was planned by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamanei and supervised by the commander of the Basij paramilitary forces, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqd, the sources said.
Proof of their involvement was in the media coverage, according to the sources. Photographs of the attack show troops from the Basij forces taking part, as well as members of the al-Quds Brigade.
In addition, two official state television channels, directly controlled by Khamenei – Press T.V. and al-Alam News Network - managed to broadcast the attack live. No official news channels are permitted to broadcast life without Khamenei's permission, the sources told Al-Arabiya.
The sources surmised that the attack was planned to distract the international community from Bashar Assad's crackdown on protesters in Syria, and to shift attention instead to the confrontation between Iran and the West.

Stonewall's Stay at The Jackson Rose
The most striking historical aspect of the house is that for a brief period at the beginning of the Civil War it served as Stonewall Jacksons headquarters. This was in the spring of 1861, before Jackson earned himself the nickname Stonewall at the first battle of Manassas, or Bull Run.
|Lee had assigned Colonel Jackson, then an instructor at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia, to whip a bunch of Confederate volunteers into shape. Those volunteers later became known as the famous Stonewall Brigade. Jackson came to Harpers Ferry in April of 1861, setting up his headquarters in this very house, his room the front bedroom on the second floor. While in it, he wrote his wife a charming letter telling her, I have a nice, green yard, and if you were only here how much we could enjoy it together! But do not attempt to come as before you could get here I might be ordered elsewhere. My chamber is on the second story and the roses climb even to that height, and come into my window, so that I have to push them out, when I want to lower it. I wish you could see with me the beautiful roses in the yard and garden, and upon the wall of the house here; but my sweet little sunny face is what I want to see most of all!
|The rose to which he referred, a very fragrant pink climbing rose, still thrives, and has ever since been known locally as the Jackson Rose. When we first arrived at the house, the rose bush had taken over the right corner of our front yard. It had been moved there, away from the house, during the 1971 renovations in order to protect it from harm. We have since transplanted the bush to the arbor at our front walk, and can attest that The Jackson Rose is a hearty plant that will surely survive us all.
|Among Jacksons well-known traits and eccentricities: he sucked on lemons (and managed to get them even during the fiercest times of war) he believed they aided in digestion and assuaged his dyspepsia, as did standing up during and after eating meals. He often ate little more than dry cornbread during wartime to calm his stomach. He was convinced that one side of his body was heavier than the other and he often rode with one arm held up in the air to balance them out. Jackson was famously rigid in religious and other ways. He memorized his lectures at VMI word for word from the textbook. If a student asked a question Jackson would merely begin the lecture over from the beginning. He had a tender side, too. He addressed his wife with sweet Spanish endearments hed adopted while in Mexico. He started a Sunday school for black slaves in Lexington when it was considered illegal to do so. During the war, he made sure his wifes long-time slaves were safe and taken care of with money, food and shelter. In war he dropped off to sleep at the oddest times sometimes in the saddle in the middle of battle. But the man could fight. Jackson does not know fear! a brother officer said of him. A graduate of West Point, he had come to the attention of his superiors in the Mexican war of 1848. During the Civil War he became legend.
|Jackson left this house on June 18, 1861.

Amazon Self-Published Bestsellers for the Week of April 16, 2014
1. The Fixed Trilogy by Laurelin Paige: "All three books of the NY Times Bestselling Fixed Trilogy are included in this bundle."
2. Night After Night (Seductive Nights) by Lauren Blakely: "Their world was sex, love, and lies. He intoxicated her. Commanded. Consumed. With a dirty mind and a mouth to match, Clay Nichols is everything Julia never knew she wanted and exactly what she cannot have. He walked into her life one night and unlocked pleasure in her that she never knew was possible. Possessing her body, captivating her every thought. Which makes him way too dangerous for Julia to risk her heart, given that she has a price tag on her head. She ran after one mind-blowing week with him, but now he's back, and determined to make her his own."
3. Obsessed by Deborah Bladon: "Independent jewelry designer, Ivy Marlow, had it all – the man, the security and the ring. Now, all she has to her name are a broken engagement, the crushing worry of a flailing business and the haunting feeling of complete betrayal. The last thing Ivy expected to find attending a posh New York art show, was him. Jax Walker is everything she doesn't need but can't resist. He's gorgeous, brazen, unapologetic and powerful. He becomes the escape Ivy has been craving and longing for. He knows what she needs, anticipates her desires and offers it all to her, but at what price?"
4. Reasonable Doubt by Whitney Gracia Williams: "My cock has an appetite. A huge and very particular appetite: Blonde, curvy, and preferably not a fucking liar…(Although, that's a story for another day.) As a high profile lawyer, I don't have time to waste on relationships, so I fulfill my needs by anonymously chatting and sleeping with women I meet online. My rules are simple: One dinner. One night. No repeats."
5. Fighting to Forget by J.B Salsbury: "Every fighter is drawn to the violence, the release that a perfect hit can bring. But very few are drawn to the pain. Rex Carter lives behind a wall of indifference. The demons from his childhood act as an anesthetic, keeping him distant from emotional connections. Only the ache from a knock to the jaw, the sting of a tattoo needle, or the heat from a piercing can jolt him back from the numbness. The fiery pain is all he can feel, and nothing compares to the burn."
6. Sex Love Repeat by Alessandra Torre: "I love two men. I screw two men. I am in a relationship with them both, and they are both aware there is another. That is all they need to know, that is all I let them know. They don't need to know a name; they don't need to know anything but that they are not alone in my heart."
7. Married by Midnight by Julianne MacLean: "For seven years, Lord Garrett Sinclair– the ruggedly handsome illegitimate son of the Duke of Pembroke–has been traveling abroad with no intention of ever returning home to Pembroke Palace… until his father commands that he must marry by Christmas in order to thwart a family curse or lose his inheritance forever. Haunted by a tragic accident that has hardened his soul, Garrett entrusts his brothers to seek out a bride who will agree to a marriage in name only. Her reward? A sizable share of his inheritance–payable immediately after the wedding night…."
8. Bender (The Core Four) by Stacy Borel: "All Keegan wanted was a roommate who was quiet, minded their own business, and paid for part of the rent. Instead, she got Camden Brooks. Camden, with his sinful body, sharp tongue, and the inability to stay out of Keegan's personal space, couldn't seem to curb his interest in the new girl who wouldn't put up with his domineering ways."
9. Obsessed: Part Three by Deborah Bladon: "Ivy wanted Jax to be the man of her dreams. After all the lies, the mysteries and the manipulations she was ready to start on the path towards a new beginning. That all came to a crashing halt that blindsided them both. The images that flashed across his computer screen are burned forever in her memory. They're inescapable and the only way out of the darkness leads straight back to him."
10. Obsessed: Part Two by Deborah Bladon: "When Ivy first met Jax, she knew he was everything she wanted, but she didn't need. She couldn't have been more right. She thought she was done with the lies, the secrets and the betrayals, but her past is inescapable, no matter how hard she tries. That pain that she once thought was buried forever is slowly starting to resurface and it may just be too much for her already fragile heart to take."

Amy, Crunchy Domestic Goddess that she is, wants us to know that October 1 is World Vegetarian Day and she is asking you to go veggie for a day.
I'm a vegetarian every day, and have been since I was 12. I could attempt to convince Captain Dad. Although he does eat some veggie meals now, he is very much a carnivore and usually has at least one meal with meat a day.
I became a vegetarian gradually. First I stopped eating veal. Then I stopped eating red meat because I never really was a red meat fan. Finally I just decided I did not want to eat any meat because I just did not like the idea. My mom probably thought it was a stage…but here I am, still a vegetarian.
I do, however, cook meat. And Baby Diva has chicken and turkey. I do not have any moral issue with eating meat. I just, personally, don't.
However, I agree with Amy that it would be good on several levels if people in general cut back a little on meat consumption.
I asked my husband which of my veggie recipes I should share and he suggested "Peanut Noodles." This goes well with a tofu and veggie stir-fry.
package linguine
2 parts peanut butter
2 parts soy sauce
1 part honey
spices: ginger, cayenne pepper, garlic powder to taste
Dash of sesame oil (optional)
garnish: chopped peanuts and cilantro (optional)
1. Cook linguine to package directions. Blanch and drain.
2. Mix peanut butter, soy sauce, honey and spices.
3. Combine noodles with sauce and refrigerate for at least an hour. Garnish as desired.
Enjoy World Vegetarian Day!
