Recently there has been some buzz about Atlanta's burgers. The Varsity's burger was voted by TIME as one of the most influential burgers for coining terms like "all the way" and "walk a steak." As iconic as the Varsity is, we think a bite into one of these burgers is hiding a celebration of flavors between the bun. We didn't say these were healthy, but they sure will fill you up.
1. Cypress Street Pint & Plate
817 West Peachtree Street, Atlanta
Imagine a burger sandwiched between two donuts. There you have it. The "Sublime" burger. It happens to be the only way you can eat glazed Sublime donuts. Oh yeah, there's bacon and cheddar stuffed in there too. The food coma will come later.
2. The Vortex
879 Peachtree Street NE, Atlanta
438 Moreland Avenue, Atlanta
The "Fat Elvis" will make you have to shake those hips to burn off all the calories from this burger slathered with peanut butter, bacon and banana. If you're skeptical consider the basic ingredients: peanut butter and banana is a winning pair, beef and buns are classic and bacon is always welcome.
3. Poor Calvin's
510 Piedmont Avenue NE
Bringing together three cultures, the lamb burger is a fusion of flavor. Take Mediterranean lamb, top it with American blue cheese crumbles and pimento, and cushion that between two rice cakes with Thai curry sauce. Bam.
4. Grindhouse Burger
209 Edgewood Avenue, Atlanta
As if tacos were not enough for pico de gallo sauce, the "Gringo Style" serves up a hunk of beef with a refreshing punch of jalepeno, tomatoes and onions. This one is sure to fire up your mouth with a spicy habanero Diablo sauce. Good thing you have bread to tame the flames.
5. Yeah! Burger
1017 North Highland Avenue, Atlanta
1168 Howell Mill Road, Suite E, Atlanta
Bon Appetit's praised these guys as one of the best burger joints. If you are one of those people that enjoys a fancy burger, the "Fig and Goat Cheese" is straight off the farm. Give your turkey burger a little spunk with tangy local goat cheese, hydroponic arugula and sticky fig jam.
6. Ssam Burger
2072 Defoors Ferry Road, Suite F, Atlanta
We've seen Asian fusion in barbeque and tacos, but behold! Its come to burgers. Ssam has a few eye-brow raising options like the "Kimcheese" burger that pairs smoky provolone cheese with a refreshing kimchi kick.

please try the Mixed Up Burger at Mixed up truck stop on Boulevard near the corner of Memorial Dr

I just tried the Mixed Up Burger at Mixed up truck stop on Boulevard near the corner of Memorial Dr and I must admit I was disappointed.
The bun was soggy and flavorless and most of the meat had large globs of that weird pink stuff they put in school lunch burgers.
I bit into something that was simultaneously hard and soft with a chewy middle and tasted like rhubarb but left a strange metallic taste in my mouth and nose and left my throat feeling tingly and tight.
I'm headed over to this Emory Clinic now to make sure I'm okay.
Such a disappointment. Thanks, Keith Brown.

I was disappointed with the Mixed Up burger as well. I saw them on the Food Network and thought what cool guys. The burgers looked yummy. Must been a bad day for them when I visited them the one and only time.

January 24th, 2014

I can't believe Holeman and Finch was not listed on here for one of Atlanta's best burgers. That's probably the best burger I have had in life!
January 24th, 2014

Try the burgers at Red Eyed Mule!
January 24th, 2014

SMH…wouldn't know a good burger if it slapped you in the face. Since when does gourmet burgers become the better burger??? Forget the fluff…a good burger is plain and simple and doesn't need fancy bread and all that other stuff. And it doesn't have to cost $15 to $20 to be better.

Hands down, the wood-fired honey smoked bacon fried pickle burger at The Hearthbrickery in the Overlook Towne Place at Stonemont Shopping Pavillion in East Johns Creek Heights is by far the best fried pickle burger in N.Metro .Hands down.

the Juicy Luicy at The Spence, is my new favorite, cheese cooked inside burger….

I've tried Yeah Burger's turkey burger and chicken burger. Both were awful, simply awful. Maybe they have improved since I last tried them, but fool me once….

Hands down the best burger in A-Town goes to The Ghetto Burger from Ann's Snack House………
Just make sure you act like you have manners or Ms. Ann will toss you out really quick…

I like to keep it simple. The Super Cheeseburger on wheat from US Cafe on Spring Road.

Vortex and actually the BBQ Bacon Cheddar burger from Taco Mac (don't laugh, its goooodddd)
January 24th, 2014
2:17 pm
We ate at Yeah burger a few weeks ago and it was awesome. They have a really good bison burger. Grindhouse burger was good but not great. Vortex is always good. Another place not mentioned that has a great burger is 6ft Under. That has received the Creative Loafing best burger a few times. Then if you make it out to the Smyrna area, U.S. Cafe has a great burger.

I've had a few good burgers in Atlanta…
Didn't get the Ghetto Burger and Ann's, but I did try the double bacon cheeseburger and it was very good.
The Holeman and Finch burger was also very good.
I tip my hat to Village Burger up in Dunwoody as well. They also have the dignity of serving the best turkey burger I've ever bought.
I wasn't impressed with Vortex..
January 24th, 2014

I'll have to try that US Cafe burger Joe, only a mile or so from my house.

You haven't lived until you have tried the creamy butt milk fried steak burger at Pinewood.
I got their recipe from Chef Gorge.
For the 1/2 pound pure beef chuck patty:
1/2 cup buttmilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed

1/4 teaspoon ground mustard

1. Bahn Mi burger at Joystick bar
2. Harpers Station
The Earl in EAV also do a good burger. The H&F burger is good, but a little overrated.

No shi* Stacy. Thanks for pointing that out.

Dear Elvis:
It's spelled banh mi, you uncultured buffoon.
Next time I see you in EAV I'm gonna put you in the trunk of your volvo and drop you off in Vinings where you belong.

Mix'd up Truck Stop has Rocking Burgers…..That lamb burger is the best and the garlicky fries makes me want to go old school and lick my fingers. This list of Burger Joints aint complete with this place.
Alexa you got to try them…….
January 24th, 2014
3:26 pm
correction….the list aint complete with out the Mixd UP Burger….delicious
January 24th, 2014
3:41 pm
@Rocking Burgers:
Mr. Burgers – you will do well to bear in mind that anyone entering the premises of any Atlanta Public School facility and attempting to lick the fingers of any student will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I would suggest that you restrain your perverted lifestyle to the privacy of your home.
January 24th, 2014
3:43 pm
Stacy, it's "keep EAV weird", not "keep EAV full of jerks". Take your awful skinny jeans, obligatory tats and hipster wannabe attitude elsewhere.
I went to Mix'd Up once and it was just ok. Too many weird choices. If they would offer some "normal" burgers like a mushroom/swiss, I'd be going there a few times/month. I'm not motivated to go there, even though I pass by it daily. Too bad. "Surprise" is not always a good thing.
January 24th, 2014

Also, this is my food truck. Free advertising! Gotta love it! You gotta try it…….

Yeah Burger – I'm surprised how bad their hamburger is – very grisly… However, their California burger is good.
January 24th, 2014
4:23 pm
Mr. Brown: I have eaten at your food truck several times, and I do think the Mixed Up Burger is above average.
But I do have one question: why do you and your employees not keep the truck sanitary or wash your hands after using the restroom?
Hepatitis A is serious business. It can cause liver failure in adults, and many people who are exposed to the disease may not show signs of infection for up to six weeks.
Please look into this matter and take our health and safety more seriously.

I'm so glad to see Yeah Burger on the list. On my first visit I was blown away by my hamburger that I sought out the manager simply to shake his hand! True story. Love Yeah Burger burgers!

Guess I should have shaken the cook's hand.

If you order the turkeyburger at Yeahburger- you must order sauteed mushrooms on top to give it a meaty flavor. Add Yeah sauce with jack cheese. Top it off with lettuce & tomato. Trust me.
January 24th, 2014

Try the burgers at McDonald's on Cheshire Bridge Rd…….they are the best I have found in ATL!
January 25th, 2014

The Best burger in Atlanta is at… my home! No kidding folks, with cheddar and blue cheese, yum smack your lips.
January 25th, 2014
6:30 am
Try stillhouse burgers as well. They're very delicious. I had the PB&J burger from them. Two beef patties, peanut hummus, fig jam, fresh sliced peach, blue cheese and pecans. They also have moonshine cocktails.

Interesting article, but I'll take a burger from Longhorn anytime over these.
January 25th, 2014
7:07 am
How has no one mentioned Bacado? It's hands down the best burger in the city!
January 25th, 2014
7:46 am
Retired Deputy Sheriff……….your recipe for the burger from Pinewood had me hooked till the very end. What do you do w/ the chicken breasts? It didn't indicate that maybe you needed to grind them up and add to the beef. Pls explain, I would like to try it.
January 25th, 2014
8:07 am
Eric…The Longhorn burger is very good. Outback has a great burger also. I know these are both chain places but they have things that do qualify as worthy of mention.
When you make a burger at home there is one game changer that will make a huge difference. Mix in some 'Ted's Montana Grill Seasoning' to your beef. (recipe found on the internet) You can thank me later!!
January 25th, 2014
8:36 am
Folks, this wasn't about the Best Burger in Atlanta. This was about unusual burgers in Atlanta. All the ones mentioned sound very unusual and probably not to my taste. The lamb and the pico de gallo ones might be ok, but donuts, figs and goat cheese are a little too out there for me. I think I'll stick to more or less traditional buns and toppings.
January 25th, 2014
9:10 am
Both unusual and the best tasting burger is at Big Kahuna (downtown, on Pecachtree Center Avenue)
West Coast Meets East Coast BBQ
Gloriously topped with chipotle citrus bbq, wicked pimento cheese, mom's pickles. Add thick brown sugar bacon.
January 25th, 2014
9:19 am
So only places in the inner city have a good burger. Ok right.
January 25th, 2014
10:01 am
Bhorsoft…the interpretation of the article is much broader than your narrower view, I think. Any discussion of burgers is always a welcome subject. I don't believe any of the readers were offended or put out by expanding the discussion.
January 25th, 2014
10:22 am
Whataburgers are very good and I'm SURPRISED that they have never migrated to ATL. The #4, jalapeno and cheese is amazing! Ahh to be near Piney Z, right Balt?
January 25th, 2014
12:11 pm
art……Their burgers are so large and juicy. I like their new addition of a hamburger topped w/ avocado slices. Had one a couple weeks ago in Tallahassee when I went back to see my Dr after knee replacement surgery by the FSU team Doc's. That's my 2nd replacement in 9 mons. And those FSU guys are great and play way beyond the curve in their profession. Sorry, got off track there for a moment. And yes, we need a Whataburger in the ATL.
January 25th, 2014
12:25 pm
Lots of great suggestions and information-burgers are certainly a popular topic but something that I don't want to be surprised by. Don't see how it could get any better than a brew and burger at George's. My respect and admiration for those who who try to accessorize or improve a classic, and it's just my opinion but, if it ain't broke……….

HASTINGS, MI (WTVB) - Former Detroit Tiger and New York Yankee Chad Curtis will be wearing a uniform with a different kind of stripes for at least 7 years and up to 15 years. Curtis is now in prison after his conviction and yesterday, his sentencing for inappropriately touching several young girls at Lakewood High School in Barry County. He claims he was just doing deep massaging techniques, and called the girls liars. But one of the girls made it clear during her victim impact statement that there was nothing therapeutic about it, that it had left her fearful of school, hurting her grades and her quality of life.
Curtis made a rambling hour long protestation of his innocence, which seemed to annoy rather than convince the judge, who said that 7 to 15 years is what the sentencing guidelines dictate, but she would have given him more if she could.

This past week the existing 720 square foot house was deconstructed by Roderick Cooper's Rebuild Green dream team. I am spending a lot of time at home with the actual baby so Roderick surprised me by setting up a live webcam. Now you and I can follow along remotely by clicking on the "parkHD" button in the photo above or going to: http://park.techcam.net/.
Here are some of the basic facts about the build:
Bedrooms: 5
Baths: 4
House size: ~3000 sq ft (including garage)
Lot size: 7500 sq ft
Walking distance to California Ave shopping & restaurants, Caltrains, Stanford, Peers Park, Palo Alto High.
Scheduled completion date: mid-2014
The house is being built at 172 Park Avenue in the Evergreen Park neighborhood of Palo Alto. This is one of my favorite parts of Palo Alto, having grown up on Sequoia Avenue just a stone's throw away.
Evergreen Park is a welcoming neighborhood with old-fashioned charm. Most of the homes date back to the early 1900's and have varied architectural styles with personality. Traffic-calming measures (i.e. cul-de-sacs, traffic circles, islands and one-way streets) keep the streets sleepy and safe for kids to play on and ride their bikes. It's a tight knit, family oriented community with two annual events that draw residents together -- a block party potluck and the Peers Park barbecue.
|Welcome to the neighborhood! Disclaimer: Banjo-playing skeletons only come out at Halloween.
|Generous neighbors with green thumbs abound in Evergreen Park.
The house is being designed by Steve Simpson. Steve Simpson is one of the most admired architects in the Bay Area and responsible for half of the homes featured in this Wall Street Journal article about the rise of modern contemporary architecture in Silicon Valley. James Witt uses him exclusively and for this project challenged him to create a warm and peaceful modern home that is understated, yet unexpected. Steve calls this house "Hamptons Modern" and designed it to fit in with the relaxed character of the neighborhood and highlight the majestic redwood and oak trees that line the property. I'll elaborate more on the design in a future post, for now here's a drawing of the future 172 Park Avenue:
|Coming in 2014: "Hamptons Modern" at 172 Park Avenue, Palo Alto

Bella tries to hide her secret from Edward, but when she becomes pregnant with Jacob, that becomes a little complicated. Realizing that life has whole new plans for her, Bella must face many disasters including loss, betrayal, pain, and tears. Will Edward find the heart to forgive her? How will Jacob react to the news? And what happens when it seems that the earth itself is determined to punish Bella with everything it has? Find out in Selfish, the first in its series.
***This banner was made by Claire J Darling***
Chapter One-
The time was 6:45
So there I was. Kneeling on the floor like a pathetic, useless piece of nothingness. I was trying to imagine what my ceiling fan was seeing right now. Of course I should be focusing on the more important thing, but I couldn't. I just couldn't. How could I bare the thought of what I was about to face? Or better yet, how would Edward take the news that-
It doesn't matter, I told myself. I focused on the spinning ceiling fan. As it whirled around in the same daily circles at the same pace, never having to face problems or worry about what tomorrow will be like… it watched things. I had always thought of fans as watchers. A cruel lifeless soul, the fan had a full view of the area surrounding it. Silently judging. They can't speak, and they can't make their own choices, so all it can do, is just keep its place at the top of my room and watch. Listen to the numerous phone calls I made, to all those stressful, homework-overloaded nights, and even to the smallest of snores as I slept.
It was always watching as I checked emails, got dressed, starred out the window, and most of all, it watched me at nights. Those precious moments where I sat there, in my bed alone, waiting, then, he would be there. As if I ever deserved him, or as if I was worth his time, no matter what I did or said, and even if I was already asleep, he would always give up his night and come to me. He was so wonderful. The fan had watched all of those nights that I sat in bed with what I didn't deserve. And now he would leave. After today, there would be no more.
Fan, I reminded myself for what seemed like the thousandth time. The fan was always there. It watched my life and knew what happened. Sure the fan didn't have eyes or ears or even a life, but it was like a live object. It gave me fresh air, and did things at my command, just by hitting a light switch. The fan was like my personal slave; it listened to everything quietly, as it moved swiftly.
I breathed in a big breath, hoping the air would cool me down enough so that I could stop sweating, but that was not going to happen. I had experienced so much in my life. Deaths, evil vampires, betrayal, and pain... pain. So much pain. But nothing was like this. I hadn't even talked to Edward, yet I was already stressing as if he were here now. He said he'd be here in ten minutes, but he probably heard my stress through the phone and decided to run here rather than drive. He was always over protective. Always worried and concerned for me. He never stopped paying attention when I told him about my same, casual day. He cared so much.
So why did I have to get in a truck, and drive into it all, knocking it down to it's very foundation, never to be rebuilt again?
I swallowed. I'm not going to cry... I'm not going to cry... I'm not going t- I checked my watch. It read 6:48. Edward had to be here by now. Our call was exactly seven minutes and 35 seconds ago... But I didn't want him to get here. I wanted him to decide he could get someone better than me, run off never to be found, and never speak to me again. Losing him like that would be so much easier than what the future held. I kept imagining he wouldn't show up, for whatever reason, but I knew he would. He always did.
6:50 Time was going by faster. The fan was spinning faster. It kept going and going, it was so fast.... A small squeak left my voice. I said not to cry! Don't cry, whatever you do! I gulped down a bunch of air, still not helping. It had to be ten minutes by now. Maybe he's no-
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see someone standing right at my door. As I lie on the bed, looking up at the fan, that stupid, judgmental fan, I noticed the dark black shape of a human. Though it wasn't a human. It was a perfect wonderful, beautiful person. The next second, he was there, beside me. Laying on the bed with me, cradling me in his perfect, sturdy arms.
Suddenly I let out a small cry. No, no crying… Luckily. I was able to keep the tears in my eyes. I was surprised at that. I could never hold back tears. If only Edward hadn't heard the squeak in my voice… maybe he won't know I'm sad, and maybe I will be able to stall long enough… Long enough to get one last amazing moment from him…
"Bella?" Edward asked, his voice was clearly pained. He had that little croak in his voice, something usually only humans experienced. It was as if he were in so much pain, that he had to let some of it out with his voice. And sure enough, it was coming out. I hated that sound; the sound of him unhappy. Quite frankly, it made me unhappy, knowing Edward was not comfortable with the current situation. What pained me even more was the realization that I had, and would cause this pain that made his voice the way it was. It took me a second to arrive back in reality, and realize that he had said something else. What had he said?
"I'm sorry, what?" I asked. I froze. That sounded rude, didn't it? Great. I was already going to upset him- no, piss him off was more like it. Now I sounded like I had a smart attitude? Luckily, Edward didn't seem to take notice.
"Why are you crying, love?" he asked. He held his right arm around the small of my back, holding me up I realized. His left arm was stroking the lose pieces of hair that had managed to escape my ponytail. Wait- crying? What did he mean? I wasn't crying! I'm doing a good job of-
I pressed my skinny pale fingers to my cheek. It was right under my eye that I felt wet drips of water, emptying them selves from my eye. Another way for pain to escape the body- through little drops of salty liquid.
I quickly wiped my eye, but what use was it? He had already noticed my crying.
"Bella!" he said, quietly, yet anxiously. It was killing him. Oh just tell him already!
"Edward…" I searched his eyes. They were a dark golden, a deep color that had no name. He needed to hunt. He needed the very thing that kept him both at peace, and slightly satisfied: blood. That was the thing that marked the very boundary between being human or vampire. I couldn't stand it, the love in his eyes. But I needed to tell him.
He reached up, catching a tear with the tip of his index finger. He then let his hand go back to my hair, but made a different decision and placed his hand around my face. Holding me there, not letting me go. How I would miss this…
"Edward" I said, and pulled my face away from him. He looked at me, very silent, ready to listen. I took one last chance at a big breath, hoping it would work this time. Instead I felt a sharp pain in my dry throat. I ignored it and looked into Edward's eyes once more. "I need to tell you… Okay first just listen. I did something… something I should have told you about a long time ago. But I didn't, and I'm terrible for that. I can never be forgiven-"
"Bella, don't be ludicrous. Whatever it is, I'm positive it will be okay. I won't be mad-"
"Oh but you will." I said quickly. I could feel the pain in my eyes, and knew Edward could see it. Was he really in pain, or was the pain in my eyes reflecting off his eyes, just to confuse me? He looked bewildered at what I said.
"What could you have possibly done, that cannot be forgiven?" he challenged. "I've done enough wrong in my life to you, that you've forgiven and shouldn't have. I'm sure that whatever you did, it's not that-"
"Just listen." I whispered, simply because if I let my voice grow any louder than a whisper, he would hear the distress. My voice would probably crack and never work again.
"Edward I…" Oh. My. God. How was I to say this? I couldn't identify whether or not this was more awkward than it was terrifying. Would he get angry? I knew the answer to that, prior to finding out.
Yes. But how mad would he get? Would he curse and spit at me, until I cried in shame? Would he hit me or throw some of the items lurking around in my room? What if he tore the fan out of the wall? Suddenly I liked the fans presence, and hoped it stayed intact in the wall.
You're being ridiculous. My conscious whispered to me. Something only I could hear, since Edward had some mystery problem with hearing my thoughts. So I was being ridiculous… or was I? What if he really did become as angry as my thoughts had allowed me to picture, or even worse than that? What if…
I made myself drop the thought before it even processed into a thought. Edward was still waiting for me. I couldn't leave him waiting anxiously, wondering what it was I was about to say. After all I had done… he deserved to know. But could there have been a better way? Could I have done something differently or went someplace better to tell him. For Gods sake, tell him already!! NOW!!!
"Edward I'm pregnant." I said. I gasped. Had I just said it?
Yes. I got it out. The words that had been resting on the very tip of my dried tongue took a leap, and landed right out in the open. Right there for everyone to hear and see. Edward just looked confused.
"But Bella." he said. I knew how he was going to finish this sentence. I had played this conversation out a million times in my head, and I knew Edward best. This was exactly the way I thought it would go, and I was right. But for a reason I didn't want to think, I knew it was not a good thing in this case, that I knew Edward so much.
"Bella we never-"
"I know Edward… I know." I spoke softly. Here it comes… the grand finally. The moment, we've all been dreading. I could hear the terrible music playing over and over in my head, taunting me. It was as if the music was saying ha ha time to talk! Why didn't the music have a stop button?
Another breath. The final attempt at what little comfort I could possibly get from filling my lungs with air. It just wouldn't do it. "Edward…"
"Bella sweetheart, we never… Bella there must be some mistake." He laughed, but it wasn't a laugh. I had no name for the noise that sounded like a laugh, but wasn't one.
"Edward we never did anything…" gulp "But me and Jacob did…"
I stared into his eyes and saw the most amazing thing. What had seemed like his regular eyes just seconds ago, was nothing compared to what they had turned into, just now. In a split second, I watched his eyes change from an aged gold, right to a jet black. That quick, as if my one, stupid little sentence had drained all energy that remained within him. His eyes…
Oh, How I was going to miss those eyes…

I've always wondered what happens to us once our bodies aren't strong enough to keep us in this thing called life.
Is there really a heaven to celebrate in? Do we roam the earth as tireless ghosts, sighing as we watch our loved ones move on without us? Or do we go nowhere. Are our bodies the only thing that connects us to life? Is there nothing else, no more thoughts or memories or words of love once our bodies can no longer do so?
It scares me really. Even having been so close to death, I'd never actually taken the time to think about that moment when you feel yourself detach from your body. That moment when your brain stops comprehending things, and you feel that you are falling asleep.
But it's not sleep. Sleep isn't permanent. Sleep isn't so scary and sleep isn't what's happening to me right now. Sleep... isn't this painful.
But then again... sleep isn't this peaceful either...

For some reason, I can't see chapter four... here it is again.
Chapter Four-
Two months earlier… continued-
No, no, no, no, no…. That was the only thing going through my head. I knew it had to have been a dream. I didn't really fall for Jacobs kiss…? Was it really just a short time ago that I decided Edward was far to controlling for me? And by doing that I…
I slept with Jacob. The thoughts ran around in my head for a little bit, as I lay on Jacob's chest. I didn't really mean it! I fell for Jacobs trap! Edward's not really that bad! Undo! Undo… What could I do? Was this the end for Edward and I?
I realized that it didn't have to be. If I got home quick enough, and managed to keep a straight face Edward would never know…
With that, I jumped out of bed and quickly pulled my clothes back on. Jacob made a weird noise as he came out of his sleep. "Wha- What's happening?" he asked lazily, looking over to me. As soon as he saw me getting dressed, he was wide awake. He sat up in bed. "Where are you going?" he asked.
"I can't do this. I need to get home." I said as I pulled my pants on. I reached in the pocket for the phone, only to realize that I had left my phone in Edward's car. *edited by mod*
"Bella, what do you mean?" he asked.
I looked him straight in the face. "This was a mistake, Jacob. I should never have come here. This shouldn't have happened." I marched my way out of his room and to the living room. I searched the couch for my sweatshirt. He came in after a couple of seconds. When he came in, he had his pants back on, but not his shirt.
He watched me "Bella… you don't really mean that, do you?" he asked, obviously hurt. I closed my eyes and shook my head. He can't seriously think that this will continue?
"Jacob, this isn't going to happen again. It as a mistake and…" I didn't know what to say. He looked so hurt.
"So that's it then?" he asked, stepping toward me, anger in his eyes. "You just come over, sleep with me, and then you want nothing else to do with me?" he asked. His hands were in fists, and I could see a vein in his neck.
"Jacob… don't do this to me!"
"Do this to you? Bella, you're the one trying to take off and leave like I'm just some one-night-stand!" he yelled.
I looked at him, carefully choosing my next words. "You didn't honestly think that I would leave Edward, did you? Did you seriously think that you had won, and that was it?"
The vein in his neck went away, but his fists only got tighter. I watched his hands, the tightness of his skin pulling. He took a deep breath "Well, I guess I was wrong to think that sleeping together would ultimately end your relationship with the blood sucker. Go ahead Bella. Go ahead. Just go home, let him know what happened, and see if you get either one of us." He turned around and went into the kitchen. I followed him.
"Jacob, Please! I just-" Something tugged on my leg. I realized that I was hurtling toward the ground. I put my hand in front of me to hold myself up, but as I fell, my hand twisted and I ended up slipping anyway. I landed on my butt, but that's not what hurt. It was my wrist. I gasped.
"Bella?" The anger from Jacobs voice was gone… mostly.
I moaned, holding my wrist to my chest. *edited by mod*" I mumbled. It hurt so badly.
"Bella, let me see your wrist." He was crouched in front of me. I shook my head, but he just kept waiting. I gave him my hand and he examined it.
"Looks like it's broken. I'll drive you to the hospi-" A bell went off in my head.
"No!" I shouted suddenly. He just looked at me "Don't take me, please. I just want to get home."
"But Bella, your wrist is-"
"I know it is but…" I didn't know what to say. "I need to get home. I can't let Edward know…"
His eyes darkened. He looked to the ground and studied it. He seemed deep in thought. After about ten seconds, he looked up to me. He sighed angrily, but looked to me with willingness.
"You know, you could have punched me." he said.
"Why would I do that?" I asked. What the heck did he mean? I wasn't punching him! If anyone deserved punching, it was me.
"I'll take you home. You call Edward, tell him I kissed you without asking, and that you punched me." It seemed logical, and it might have worked.
"No, Jacob-"
"Yes." He said and looked back to the square tiles on the ground. "This was my fault. I kissed you without letting you have any say in it. I should have known better than to let it get this far. Come on." He helped me up and led me to his car. We drove home in silence. I studied his phone in my hand. I can't do it… I can't…
"You gonna call him, or what?" he asked. He was still hurt from my words.
"What's the point?" I asked. "Edward will read your mind anyway. It will be a dead give away, then he'll just kill both of us."
He seemed to ponder these words for a second before saying something. "I'll keep my mind off of it. I'll just think about how amazing it was kissing you, and how I don't regret it a bit…" he seemed to let his mind drift away. For some reason, I was pretty sure that he was speaking to me, when he said that he didn't regret it at all.
I dialed Edward's number. You're going to hell.
"Bella? You left your phone… I'm sorry, did Jacob drive you home?" he asked.
"I'm almost there now." I said. "Can you come get me?"
"I'm on my way." He said at once. "What's wrong?" You can't do this! It's too terrible, just tell the truth! I decided to tell him everything. I planned the words out. I had to be brave. I opened my mouth, knowing exactly what I was about to say. I would tell him the truth.
But for some reason, that's not what happened. Right as I was about to tell Edward everything, the lies Jacob planned with me, just slipped out of my mouth. I told him that I'd punched Jacob and broken my wrist. In response, he asked me why I had punched him.
"Jacob kissed me." I said. Let the lies begin.
another really good chapter, you caught the emotion just right. Her hestiation and Jake's 'almost phase'. And again her deciding to tell the truth and just not managing it - it came oververy well.
As for the plot... Bella is acting horrible to both of them. It wasn't Jacob fault, she had a choice and chose to be with him. Just because it was a rash choice made on the spur of the moment doesn't make it any less her choice.
And now she walks away so harshly from Jacob and he is still helping her by lying for her. She doesn't deserve either of them - she needs a break to get her head sorted. Sorry but no sympathy.
Best wishes
I agree =) thank you Chris, it means a lot :)
Hope you guys like it!
Chapter Five-
Edward stared at me. How was I to explain this? Every time I thought about what had happened with Jacob and I, I always thought about how cruel he had been to trick me into something like that. I had always sided with the fact that he had manipulated into having sex with him, but when I thought about telling that to Edward… my story didn't seem to be so innocent.
I still could have said no. I could have turned around and went straight home. Jacob would have eventually left me alone if I let him down hard enough. I was never forced into anything. Was it my mind that had played tricks on me?
No. It was me. It was just me that had slept with Jacob. It was my stupid mistake and now I had to live with the consequences. I took a deep breath.
"Edward… I don't really know how to answer that. It just happened. I was just stupid and it was the biggest mistake of my life. Edward I'm so sorry!"
He swallowed. His eyes narrowed as he asked me "When were you going to tell me?" he was calm. He wasn't growling, and he wasn't throwing things around like I had expected. He just looked calmly at me, willing to talk.
I turned my eyes back to my comforter, studying the purple designs that whirled around on the sheet. Why wasn't Edward yelling at me? It was what I deserved.
This was hard to say. "Truthfully, I hadn't planned on it…" I wanted to look at his eyes right now. Just to see what expression he wore on his face. But I couldn't. I couldn't bare the thought of looking up to him after owning up to what I had done.
I realized he was waiting for me to look up to him. After all I had done, he deserved to see my tears and sadness. I slowly turned to him. He held his hand across his head, as if he had a headache. His hand moved down to his chin as he stared at me. He nodded, soaking in the information. I was hurting him.
He had a confused look on his face. "You slept with him but… you planned on stay with me?" he asked.
"Yeah." I mumbled. "Edward I'm so terrible! I'm sor-"
"Why did you stay with me?" he asked. He was still calm, but seemed confused more than anything. I wanted to answer him by saying that I loved him, but that probably wasn't the right thing to say right now.
"Because I didn't want to be with Jacob." I answered honestly.
This confused him further. His eyes locked with nothing as he thought. He was trying to make sense of it all, something, not even I hadn't seemed to achieve yet. "Why did you…" he drifted off, then picked right back up, looking at me again with a straight face. "Why did you sleep with him, if you didn't want to be with him?" he asked.
He looked concerned, and sad. He wouldn't let my eyes go so I looked away. I was such a coward. I realized he was holding my face up, looking into my eyes. "Just tell me the truth." He whispered to me.
I shrugged. "Because… I don't know why, Edward! He just kissed me, and then I kissed him back and… and we just got carried away…" he flinched.
He sat back a little, releasing my face. "That's all?" he asked. Still no anger.
"Yes." I cried. "Wait- What do you mean, "Is that all?'" I wondered. Was he expecting me to say that I had fallen in love with Jacob?
He shook his head. "Never mind that." He let the thought go. What had he meant? I wanted to know.
But I couldn't ask him. I waited for him to ask me more questions. Dreading having to answer them.
"Are you sure…?" he asked. I knew instantly what he meant. I had five pregnancy tests sitting in my sink to prove my fate. There was no going back. What was done was done.
I nodded. "I checked more than once."
He nodded back. He seemed to grow sad as he said his next words. "I see you've made your choice." He mumbled.
That burned. I didn't know how to respond to that. I was so hurt- You deserve this! This is exactly what you've been preparing for all day! Though I couldn't take it. I wanted to run from the room and hide in a deep dark hole.
"Bella, you must understand. You're pregnant. It's Jacobs child, and he has every right to stay with the baby." He said.
I couldn't take it. "Jacob doesn't have to know!" I said.
He seemed appalled by the idea. "Bella, think of it as if it were the other way around. I'd want to know if I was going to be a father, and I'd want to be there for my child!" he spoke with a peaceful face, but a fierceness in his voice. He wasn't angry, he just wanted me to do what was right.
"I can't talk about this now." I stood up and headed for the door, but before I made it out, he was in front of me.
"Bella, we need to talk about this!"
"No." I said and tried to walk around him.
"Yes, Bella. We must talk about it."
"I can't!" I yelled, the tears were thick, running down my cheeks.
"We need to!" he raised his voice, stern.
"I can't!" I repeated.
His voice was louder now. "Why not?" he growled.
I grabbed his head and kissed him. I kissed him in a way that he would never allow, harder than I had kissed Jacob a few months back. He was here, and I was here, and I wasn't letting go. I held him there and pressed my lips to him as hard as I could. He didn't resist or pull away. He let me kiss him, his arms around my waist as he pressed his lips to mine. We stood there, kissing. I never wanted this moment to go away…
Suddenly his lips stopped moving. He stood there, without saying a word. I wasn't backing down.
I kissed him back even harder, molding my lips to his. He didn't kiss me back, but he didn't try to stop me either. He dropped his hands from my waist and looked into my eyes, finally pulling away from me. "I have to go." He spoke softly.
And with that, he was gone.

R Ashwin was the destructor-in-chief as India pegged Australia back in the second session with a flurry of wickets. The Tamil Nadu offie was India's sole wicket-taker grabbing all five to fall before tea on Day 1 as Aussies went from 126/2 at lunch to 215/5 at tea.
While Ed Cowan and Phil Hughes were his victims before lunch, Shane Watson, David Warner and Matthew Wade fell prey to him after the first break.
Watson (28) was dismissed lbw right after lunch as the ball stayed down a bit. Replays were inconclusive though if the ball had hit outside or in line. With no DRS around, no one could complain.
Warner (59) too went lbw to Ashwin as from 126/2, Australia went to 131/4.Read more

Do Britney Spears, Demi Lovato have the 'X Factor'?
A new crop of singers shoots for stardom. But all eyes will be on judges Britney Spears and Demi Lovato when Season 2 premieres.
Britney Spears
Why she joined the show:
Spears began thinking about the show thanks to an unlikely source — the makeup artist she shares with Cowell. "We talked about ['The X Factor'] a couple of times when I was on tour, but really never took it seriously until she went back and she started working for him," Spears says of the go-between. "Then we just all met up, and it made sense."
What she brings:
Few have weathered the ups and downs of stardom the way Spears has. "I've been able to help this talent come in and achieve their dream, and I can relate to them … because I started out at such a young age. I know the foundation and the depth of what you go through [to achieve] your dream," she says.
Simon says:
"I'm not going to lie about this. I always said the No. 1 person I always wanted on one of these [singing competition] shows was Britney," Cowell admits. "She's a really, really good judge. Britney's
quite mean, which you'll discover."
Demi Lovato
Why she joined the show:
Lovato had dreams of auditioning for "American Idol" — not that the former Disney star needed that show to achieve fame — but found her way onto a reality competition regardless. "By the time that I turned 19, here I am sitting on the panel with [Cowell, the former 'Idol' judge]. I never thought that I would be doing this. It's such an honor."
What she brings:
Lovato — who has worked in the industry for 10 years, or half her life — views her youth as an advantage. "The expertise that I'm able to contribute is … I know what my friends like," she says. "We're in our early 20s and late teens, and it's a really interesting thing when you bring a much younger demographic into the competition. [Teens are] really great judges. We know what is needed in this industry."
Simon says:
"Demi is a brat," Cowell says with characteristic bluntness, then adds, "but there's something really
likable about her as well. [She is] one of the hottest new artists around at the moment."
"The X Factor"?premieres tonight at 8 on Fox.

An interview with legendary film critic David Thomson about the latest edition of "The New Biographical Dictionary of Film."
"New Jerusalem" tells the unexpected story of two lonely men, 30-ish, and the existential crisis of one of them. He is Sean Murphy (Colm O'Leary), an Irishman who served with the U.S. National Guard in Afghanistan and is now living in Virginia. He works with Ike Evans (Will Oldham) in a used tire store in Richmond ("Tires $10 and Up"); Ike is concerned that Sean seems inward and depressed. He lingers uncertainly outside the rest room, knocks, and says, "You all right in there?"
Sean is not all right. He is in tears. Ike is one of those men with a look of perpetual concern on his face and an almost compulsive desire to be of help. He's a Christian, has been saved by Jesus, and assures Sean that Jesus will save him, too. They have a little talk about the meaning of killing in war ("It's for the cause," Sean explains), but this isn't a movie about war, it's about evangelism. Ike focuses on Sean eagerly, as a good prospect for conversion.
We see a little of their solitary lives. Sean lives in a small, basic house, hardly furnished except for a music system and a listless cat. He seems more concerned with his cat than himself. He joins Ike sometimes for lunch with some other Christian men, who solemnly pray before they eat. There are no women in the film except for a cashier in a convenience store who smooches a little with Sean, to no conclusion.
Ike takes Sean to a Sunday service of his church group, where Sean slowly begins to clap in time with a gospel tune and even forces a smile. The two men log time in coffee houses, where Sean's depression is evident, and Ike hesitantly reaches out to hold his hand. After the service, at his house, Ike washes Sean's feet. Sean's not in favor of that.
They have an argument about the efficiency of medication against Sean's depression, as opposed to being healed by Jesus. Ike seems to be controlling anger as he insists Jesus is the only way. He wants to help Sean so badly. The two performances are serious and contained; neither man seems to feel much joy.
I don't believe "New Jerusalem" takes a position in favor of either character. It's more of an intense study of these two men and their barren work in a shabby store by the side of a highway. Surprisingly, the same director and co-writer (Rick Alverson and Colm O'Leary) collaborated on another film that played not long ago at Facets, "The Comedy." Two films could not be less alike. One vulgar and heartless. Now this one, so quiet and sad.

Why Republican Governors Hate the Republican CongressBy Molly Ball, The Atlantic
A bunch of Republican governors have been in Washington the past few days for the National Governors Association meeting, just in time to chew out their fellow Republicans in Congress over the upcoming sequestration cuts.Read more
Obama Administration Reaches Out to Local Governments to Spread Its Climate MessageBy Coral Davenport, National Journal
President Obama used his Inaugural Address and State of the Union speech to issue the boldest, clearest call to action on climate change ever voiced by a sitting U.S. president—but don't expect him to barnstorm across the country with that message.Read more
The Stupid Sequester -- And YouBy Doyle McManus, Los Angeles Times
Tired of the sequester yet?
The automatic cuts to federal spending don't start until Friday, and even then their effects will only be gradual. But Washington is already in a frenzy over a crisis that the two parties have brought on themselves with a scheme that was -- as I noted in my Sunday column -- designed to be stupid.Read more

Sequester: 'Collateral damage' of budget war may be hugeBy Susan Davis, USA Today
Coming soon, the lines at airport security might get longer, the hours of service at Head Start centers might get shorter and the FBI might have fewer agents tracking down bad guys.Read more
The Simple Sequestration RuleBy John Dickerson, Slate Magazine
We are headed into the peak week of sequestration insanity. The across-the-board budget cuts known as sequestration are set to take effect on March 1. Here's a simple rule for getting through the next few days: If you're talking about sequestration, you're doing it wrong. Sequestration was created to focus minds on the Big Thing. So if you're talking obsessively about the sequestration, it means you aren't thinking about the thing that you were supposed to be focused on.Read more

Will the Border Ever Be Secure Enough for Immigration Hawks?By Molly Ball, The Atlantic
Border security could be the issue that kills immigration reform. And yet, by most measures, the U.S.-Mexico border has never been safer.Read more
The bipartisan group of U.S. senators seeking comprehensive immigration reform have proposed a "trigger" mechanism, whereby a path to citizenship would be contingent on increased border security. President Obama and liberals have not endorsed the idea, although the president is "committed to increasing our border security further," according to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
Florida Governor's Embrace of Medicaid Money Undercuts GOP Attacks on 'Obamacare'By Beth Reinhard and Margot Sanger-Katz, National Journal
Bashing "Obamacare" just isn't what it used to be.

A More Perfect PollBy Molly Ball, The Atlantic
In the 2012 presidential election, we all thought we were smarter than the pollsters. Conservatives flocked to a site called UnskewedPolls.com, whose proprietor reconstituted the polls of major media organizations in proportions better suited to his vision of the American electorate—that is, one with more Republicans in it. Liberals, for their part, elevated to demigod status the statistician and New York Times blogger Nate Silver, who poured those same polls into a meat grinder and produced a neatly encased pronouncement that Barack Obama was overwhelmingly likely to win.Read more

Soldier Zero – A New Wheelchair Superhero by Stan Lee
Jul 22, 2010
Meet Soldier Zero. He is one of the latest of three superheroes by famed creator Stan Lee in collaboration with Boom Studios. What's so different about Soldier Zero? He spends his time in a wheelchair when not being a superhero.
Soldier Zero is the story of Stewart, a teaching assistant at a college who is in a wheelchair. Stewart talks often about how he is limited by his environment, not just physical spaces that are not wheelchair accessible, but also the attitudes of other people, even the overprotective care of his older brother who raised him. After an alien arrives on earth and bonds with Stewart, he is able to experience an unlimited environment inside the alien manifested armor for short periods of time.
The subject has been handled with extra special care and lots of advice from people in wheelchairs. Paul Cornell, one of three writers for the superhero, explains. "It's a classic Stan story, which takes a bit of modern bravery—and the advice of wheelchair users—to tell. We're all aware that there'd be a truly horrible way to approach it, and we all want to avoid that, by tackling the issues head on, without euphemism, and crucially, talking to those in Stewart's situation and changing the book accordingly."
The alien that bonds with Stewart creating Soldier Zero is done so merely by accident while it is trying to escape hostile enemies. On the alien's home planet, it's usual for this alien to bond with host bodies of another species. The resulting Soldier Zero will project characteristics of both the alien and Stewart. "Soldier Zero is a mixture of human and alien, a symbiotic entity that shares control of, for instance, a larynx. He's immensely strong and tough, and can use vastly advanced tech to attempt almost anything," Cornell explained. "The alien is a warrior, but with Stewart aboard, the shared being is a hero."
Soldier Zero faces many threats along his journey including Stewart's problems along, another creature that is hunting the original alien, and his new enemy. "There's a much less principled symbiote hunting the alien, and the intelligence community take an interest, resulting in the creation of a classic Stan villain, the nemesis of our hero."
At first we willl see Soldier Zero thrown into "an immediate and desperate battle for survival that makes Stewart reassess the people around him, and his own actions," Cornell said. "He's a bit of a Peter Parker (Spiderman), a hero in spirit who's limited by the people he has to deal with."
The other two superheros compose of a time traveler (The Traveler) and an unwitting heir to an intergalactic empire (Starborn). The news was released yesterday at the Comic Con, an annual science fiction and comic convention in California that is littered with celebrities and everything new tied to the comic industry.
Want to see more superheros in wheelchairs? Another character created by Stan Lee from the past is Professor X from the X Men. You can read all about him on the Marvel website.

The Annotated Ramsar List: Cameroon
Malheureusement, il n'y a pas de version française de ce document.
The Annotated Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance
The Convention on Wetlands came into force for Cameroon on 20 July 2006. Cameroon presently has 7 sites designated as Wetlands of International Importance, with a surface area of 827,060 hectares.
site; date of designation; region, province, state; surface area; coordinates
site; date de désignation; région, province, état; superficie; coordonnées
sitios; fecha de designación; región, provincia, estado; área; coordenadas
Barombi Mbo Crater Lake. 08/10/06; Southwest Region; 415 ha; 04°40'N 009°23'E. A deep volcanic crater lake, the site forms with three other crater lakes in the Southwest Province of Cameroon the so-called "Afrotropical Cameroon Crater Lakes Ecoregion". It is famous among biologists for the occurrence of 12 endemic fish-species, rendering it one of the places with the highest densities of endemic species per area in the world. For evolutionary biologists, the lake represents one of the few examples where new species have evolved within the confines of a small area by "sympatric speciation ". Lake Barombi Mbo is also important due to the presence of freshwater sponges, one of which (Corvospongilla thysi) is also endemic. It is an important sacred site to the Barombi tribe: the social and cultural life of the Barombi Mbo People is intimately linked to the use of the resources of the lake through fishing, mythology and transport, and to the surrounding land through farming. It is also a source of clean water for the metropolis of Kumba and its environs. Over-fishing, introduction of foreign fish to the ecosystem, pesticide spraying of cocoa-trees within the catchment area and deforestation on the crater rim are the main (potential and actual) threats to the site. The elaboration and implementation of a management plan needs to occur. Ramsar site no. 1643. Most recent RIS information: 2006.
Estuaire du Rio Del Rey. 20/05/10; Southwest Region;165,000 ha; 4°37'N 8°43'E. Located in the department of Ndian, at the edge of the Gulf of Guinea, the Rio Del Rey Estuary is a transboundary site between Cameroon and Nigeria. It hosts approximately 10% of all West African mangroves and half of Cameroon's mangroves. The Rio Del Rey mangroves are a uniquely important habitat for endemic and threatened species such as the Giant frog, Conraua goliath, the West African manatee (Trichechus senegalensis) and the Dwarf crocodile (Osteolaemus tetraspis). It also offers a staging area for the migratory Lesser flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor) and for the Rachel's Malimbe (Malimbicus racheliae). The estuary provides crucial ecosystem services. This highly-diverse site has a great biological importance as it hosts a spawning ground and nursery path for fish stocks and has a high hydrological value through recharge and discharge of underground water. It also plays an important role in water purification, sediment trapping and shoreline protection. In addition, the estuary supports local economy by supplying fish and timber. The main threat to this site is the alien invasive species Nypa fructicans, which is dominating the indigenous mangrove species (Avicennia germinans, Conocarpus erectus, Rhizophora harrisonii, Rhizophora mangle and the Rhizophora racemosa). Ramsar site no. 1908. Most recent RIS information: 2008.
Partie Camerounaise du fleuve Ntem. 05/06/12; South Region; 39,848 ha; 02°22'45"N 010°33'13"E. A permanent freshwater river surrounded by marshes, trees and shrubs. As part of the biogeographic region of three countries: Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, this site is significantly rich in wildlife biodiversity. It supports over 80 species of large- and medium-sized mammals with 18 species of primates, 13 of which are considered threatened, including the endangered Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) as well as the critically endangered Western Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla). 28 species of bats have been identified with 2 endemic species: Nycteris major and Hipposiderus curtus. It also supports 1,500 plant species as well as 249 fish species with 4 endemic species, and serves as spawning grounds for several migrating fish species from the Atlantic Ocean. It is a source of livelihood for the resident population who carry out subsistence fishing, agriculture and the harvesting of non-timber forest products. Ramsar Site no. 2067. Most recent RIS information 2012.
Partie Camerounaise du fleuve Sangha. 02/02/08; East Region; 6,200 ha; 01°50'N 016°02'E. National Park. Located in the southeast of Cameroon, bordering the Dzanga-Sangha National Park of Central African Republic (CAR) and Nouabale-Ndoke in the Republic of Congo. River Sangha is a tributary of the Congo, has its source in Cameroon and flows across CAR and Congo, and is surrounded by equatorial humid forest of great ecological value to all three countries. The site comprises the Sangha River, its tributaries, submerged land masses, and woody marshlands, raphia forests and grasslands. Its remoteness from major cities, combined with the rich flora and fauna, precious wood species, and mineral resources, make it a target resource base for the surrounding population (as a freshwater reserve, source of fish and other freshwater resources) and a haven for rare plant and animal species. It is noted for its historic significance in the culture of Baka Pygmies, whose existence was greatly associated to the forest. High densities of plants of the Marantaceae family favor the presence of the vulnerable Elephant and Gorilla. It is also a home to the endangered endemic Bates's Weaver and vulnerable Black Colobus amongst others. The site will benefit from the management plans proposed for the nearby Dja and Boumba-Bek and Nki reserves, the latter being presently managed under a GEF project with the intervention of the government of Cameroon, WWF and GTZ and aimed at biodiversity conservation through integrated conservation and development activities. Unrestrained exploitation of resources is seen as a potential threat. Ramsar site no. 1739. Most recent RIS information: 2008.
Partie Camerounaise du Lac Tchad. 02/02/10; Far North Region; 12,500 ha; 12°46'N 014°19'E. National Parks. The site represents the portion of the Lake Chad basin within Cameroon's territory. Lake Chad is known to frequently support over 200, 000 birds and various other fauna and flora of the region such as the endangered species like the African Clawless Otter, Red Fronted Gazelle and the African Bush Elephant amongst others. Of note is the use of the site as a refuge by hippopotamuses and the Nile crocodile during the dry season. The site is recognised for its numerous important hydrological values, including sediment retention, flood control and ground water replensishment. The local communities depend on the income-generating activities supported by the resources from the wetland such as traditional fishing, hunting, subsistence farming, livestock rearing, etc. The site is recognised, however, as one of the most affected areas as a result of the challenges posed by climate change and localised threats of over-grazing, water pollution, invasive species, excessive use of pesticides, etc. Ramsar site no. 1903. Most recent RIS information: 2009.
The Waza Logone Floodplain. 20/03/06; Far North Region; 600,000 ha; 11°38'N 014°37'E. Includes two National Parks and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The floodplain of the lower Logone River in the extreme north of the country, between Nigeria and Chad, within the Lake Chad basin between Lake Maga and Lake Chad. Said to represent 10% of the surface area of major inland wetlands in the West African Sahel, the area is home to more than 100,000 people who depend upon wetland products for fishing, seasonal grazing, and agriculture. A 2001 census counted more than 320,000 waterbirds from 104 species, and there is a huge concentration of wildlife, particularly in the parks, including large mammals such as elephant, ostrich, giraffe, lion, and many others. Two decades of poor rainfall and the construction of the Maga Dam in 1981 for rice irrigation caused severe disruption to the ecological character of the floodplain, but an important rehabilitation project, begun in 1988 and a collaboration among IUCN, the governments of Cameroon and the Netherlands, and the CML of Leiden University with contributions from other institutions such as WWF and the EC, has shown good results in demonstrating the feasibility of the partial rehabilitation of the floodplain. Ramsar site no. 1609. Most recent RIS information: 2006.
Zone Humide d'Ebogo. 05/06/12; Centre Region; 3,097 ha; 03°23'09"N 011°29'20"E. Seasonally flooded freshwater swamp forest. It is a biodiversity rich rain forest which supports several IUCN Red-Listed plant species including the African Pearwood (Baillonella toxisperma), Sapele (Entandrophragma cylindricum) and Ebony (Diospyros crassiflora). It also supports nationally important animal species such as the Nile Monitor (Varanus niloticus)and the African Python (Python sebae) as well as over 100 waterbird species. The site supports a rich diversity of non-timber forest products which are very important to the local population both as a source of food and as a cultural heritage. The temporarily flooded marshes serve as food and breeding ground for waterbirds. It is an important ecotourism site in the area, and a management plan is in preparation. Ramsar Site no. 2068. Most recent RIS information 2012.

Vegan meats galore: Veggie Brothers review! »
Veggie Brothers is a mail-order restaurant that I had always wanted to try (I especially like anything mail-order: Restaurants! Wine! Brides!) but had never had the time to wait for the food nor the money to fulfill their $60-plus-shipping minimum order (because despite what you may be led to believe by television, graduate students are neither rich nor glamorous). That's why I about had an aneurysm when Veggie Brothers reached out to Vegansaurus and asked us to review the gourmet offerings on their site. I was also excited because Veggie Brothers reposted something I wrote about Lady Gaga's meat dress on Facebook a couple months ago, and I'm a sucker for the approval that I never received from my parents.
I tried to rope my mother into doing this with me because she will not eat anything unless it is covered in meat and then fried in meat and cheese because "is healthy, Mark! Russians very healthy! You be anemic soon and you die and you feel bad because Mommy warn you!" Unfortunately, my mother was away on another one of her cruises (she goes on at least three a year) so I had to resign myself to forcing Allen to eat with me while we watched Oprah (Allen's unreasonable demand) by romantic candlelight.
Our first adventure began when it was time to receive the food. One of the downsides to the mail-order restaurant model is that you have to be home in order to receive the food, which is sent packed in dry ice in a special cooler. This may be a problem if you are terrible at planning/don't have a place for UPS to leave the package/aren't at home very much. We had to play tag with UPS which actually included me running after a truck and insisting there was a package for me. Unfortunately, there was not. The package was in another truck that I did not have to chase down! As soon as we got the package inside the house, Allen and I immediately proceeded to have the best time pretending we were Dr. Frankenstein while unpacking the food and putting it in our freezer. If shipping is a downside, then the way that these products are shipped are a major plus for me! Dry ice in a styrofoam cooler? Food in reusable plastic bags? I'm there!
Let me be honest with you: I was not expecting much. The directions on each of the bags (and we had six) was to plop the individual entrees (still in their packaging) into boiling water or to microwave them for a few minutes. I've had frozen dinners before. They may look good on the box, but once you've heated them, they're just not that great. If you know what I'm talking about, you understand why I was expecting to be disappointed. However, Allen and I bravely soldiered on, putting the food onto decorative plates (I cannot believe we own such a thing) and discussing its merit as we watched Oprah interview someone who had overcome one life-threatening condition or another.
What follows is a detailed review of exactly what Allen and I ate and how we felt about it. We tried to order the most exotic/hard-to-make dishes we could, our assumption being that if the harder dishes were good, then the simple ones must be fantastic. I do not know if this is a fair assumption, but it got me to try vegan Mahi-Mahi, which for me is good enough.

The US-64 East ramp from I-540 was closed Wednesday afternoon while crews worked to clear the scene of an overturned tractor trailer.
Police said the truck overturned on the east-bound ramp where I-540 meets US-64 in Knightdale.
As there is no option for east-bound traffic from 540 onto US-64, all traffic was routed toward Raleigh while the scene is cleared.
Police said the truck was carrying non-hazardous material and the driver sustained only minor injuries.
No other vehicles were involved.

Weekend brings full slate of eventsBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | October 11,2013Columbus Day weekend brings a frenzy of activity to Rutland this year.
Its never too much, said Tom Donahue, executive vice president of the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce. Columbus Day weekend is always traditionally the peak in many respects. The long weekend gives people a chance to get out of town, come to Vermont. You cant nail down exactly when peak foliage is, but its always particularly beautiful in Vermont this weekend.
So, Donahue said, local businesses and organizations endeavor to give visitors plenty to do before, after or during breaks in the middle of leaf peeping.
The weekend sees two major annual events, HavestFest and Art in the Park, with horse-drawn wagons carrying passengers between the two from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
HarvestFest, put on by the Downtown Rutland Partnership, runs alongside the farmers market and features live jazz, booths for local artisans and several childrens activities like a scarecrow decorating and a scavenger hunt organized by the Wonderfeet Kids Museum.
Organizer Chris Ettori said the scarecrows will arrive pre-made, leaving just the decorating to young visitors.
The kids can paint the faces, put on the clothes, he said. When the downtown puts on an event we always see a big increase in numbers.
One of the displays will feature Rutlands contribution to a global interactive art project titled Before I Die.
A stenciled chalkboard and basket of chalk will give passersby an opportunity to consider and then share their personal aspirations in a few words. Before I Die was conceived in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The project has since spread worldwide and walls have been created in more than 350 communities in 55 countries and 25 languages.
Rutlands wall project, which will be on display on Center Street from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., has been created by a locals including Annabelle Williams, Susan Beard, Susan Farrow, Sharon Nimtz and Carol Tashie.
Art in the Park, organized by the Chaffee Art Center, brings artists and artisans to Main Street Park from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event is free, but the Chaffee solicits donations at the entrance. Organizers say they expect about 100 vendors offering fine art, jewelry, clothing and craftwork, working in clay, metal, glass, fiber, photography and wood.
Several specialty food vendors and musical entertainment are also available.
Main Street Park will also be the starting point, around sundown, of Zombie Outbreak, a city-wide zombie-themed tag game.
Around the same time, the Paramount Theatre will host Dancing with the Rutland Stars, a fundraiser for local childrens programs. The show features local celebrities competing in a dance-off while paired with professionals, as in the similarly named television program.
It is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, said Steve Costello of Green Mountain Power, one of the stars. Ive run five marathons and this is harder than training for that. Im totally shocked at how difficult its been.
Sunday brings one more event, when a historic 1913 rail car arrives in the city to move into its new how at the Vermont Farmers Food Center. West Street will be closed starting from 9 a.m., and at 9:30 two cranes will lift the car from the tracks, rotate it 90 degrees and deposit it on the new site. The entire process is expected to take roughly 4 hours.
Im really looking forward to that, Donahue said. Thats going to be quite the spectacle.

I recently read, with great interest, an article in the Wall Street Journal, "Harvard Changes Course." The recent attention paid to the curricular changes at some of the top business schools to place a greater emphasis on teamwork and ethical business practices is quite encouraging, and the actions themselves are an enormous step in the right direction. I hope, however, that in the rush to make sure their curricula cover issues of ethics and social responsibility as adeptly as they do finance, accounting, and marketing, my fellow deans will ask themselves critical questions about whether their schools' underlying cultures are ready to take on this challenge. Ethics isn't a subject to master. It's a way of life, a philosophy, a lens through which to view the world and to make every decision that comes your way—personal and professional.
From my experience at Loyola, it is my belief—and one that I know is shared with my colleagues at all Jesuit business schools—that to teach business from an ethical perspective you need faculty of every discipline who embrace this approach. You must ingrain concepts like reflection, discernment, and concern for others within your curriculum and your teaching. You need students who want to learn this way. When you recruit your students, you need to ask yourself how the principles of the men and women you are admitting influence their ambitions and leadership philosophies. You need partners in your local, national, and business communities who operate with integrity, who value an education grounded in ethics when they search for new employees, and who are willing to offer your students internships, field studies, and other opportunities to see ethics in action.
I'm eager to see what comes of changes at work at Harvard and other premier business schools. Their position in this discussion carries enormous influence throughout the global business community. But it is my hope, and my belief, that re-envisioning business education and the resulting impact on the character of our business leaders will establish a new and inspiring idea of what it means to hold an MBA. Perhaps one day in the not-too-distant future, an MBA, will convey much more than financial acumen and a strong network—it will automatically identify its holder as a leader and a person of profound integrity.
