Come Back To Me0 Reviews
Slight AU Mai Lets Zuko go if he'll go back to her
Come Back To Me
You say you gotta go and find yourself
You say that your becoming someone else
Don't recognise the face in the mirror
Looking back at you
Mai stood beside Zuko as he told her about the war meeting.
"I was the perfect prince, the son my father wanted but I wasn't me."
Mai knew what was coming. He was going to leave.
You say your leaving
As you look away
I know there's really
Nothing left to say
"I have to leave."
Zuko whispered his forehead touching hers.
"I know"
Mai whispered before resuming their embrace. There was nothing left to say.
Just know I'm here
Whenever you need me
I'll wait for you
That night as Zuko slept in her arms Mai told him the truth. She told him everything. She concluded her speech by telling his sleeping form that she'd wait for him forever.
So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see
What you need to see
When you find you
Come back to me.
Mai knew Zuko wanted to leave and she knew what was keeping him back. Her. The eve before the Day of Black Sun, Mai visited Zuko and broke up with him.
"When you've seen what you need to see, when you've found you, come back to me."
Mai whispered before fleeing back to her house. Once inside Mai started to cry.
"I've let you go, I've set you free."
Mai whispered before curling up in her bed and sobbing.
Take your time
I won't go anywhere
Picture you with
The wind in your hair
Mai hadn't moved since she broke up with Zuko. She had no energy anymore. On the Day of Black Sun, she climbed onto the roof and just managed to see Zuko in his war balloon following the avatar. He was as beautiful as ever.
I'll keep your things
Right where you left them
I'll be here for you.
Mai surveyed her room. Her mother Lady Shien wished to burn all of Zuko's things which he had left. Mai threatened her with a knife.
Oh and I'll let you go
And I'll set you free
And when you see
What you need to see
When you find you
Come back to me
Mai couldn't believe Zuko was so stupid. She had let him go for a reason. That reason was not for him to break in to a Firenation prison AND get caught. Mai fumed all the way to the boiling rock. He was supposed to come back to her after he succeeded. Mai was not happy.
And I hope you find everything you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you
Come back to me.
It was exhilarating, for the first time in her life Mai was fighting to save someone she loved. Yes loved, she was long past the stage of denial. I'll be right here waiting to see you win.
"Come back to me!"
Mai shouted up to the gondola hoping Zuko could hear her.
I can't get close if your not there
I can't get inside if there's no soul to bear
I can't fix you
I can't save you
It's something you have to do
As Mai was sitting in the dank prison cell., she realised that she wouldn't be able to help Zuko anymore. That hurt even more than the burn that ran down her right thigh.
So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see
What you need to see
When you find you
Comeback to me
Letting him go was the best thing Mai ever did in her life. No matter how much it hurt she knew as she sat in her disgusting prison clothes. Orange, honestly. The knowledge that Zuko would come back kept her from falling into despair.
And I hope you find
Everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you
Come back to me
"I guess it means I actually kind of like you"
A/N: I think I might actually write a Zutara fic. Gosh. I hate Zutara but it is tempting.........

Downtown on the West Side, from 14th Street to 34th Street, and from Sixth Avenue to the Hudson River.
The newest Chelsea news – and some of the hottest condos for sale — are on the Far West Side, where the south section of the High Line, an elevated park that's been created from an abandoned railroad track, opened in 2009. The modern development is great for walking and people watching, and the ribbon of green is a pleasing view for many a Chelsea apartment.

Another Tack: The only thing worse
Oscar Wilde 370.
(photo credit:Sarony, Napoleon)
We can only speculate about whether Meir Dagan, ex-chief of Mossad (counterpart
to America's CIA), and Yuval Diskin, exchief of Shin Bet (counterpart to
America's FBI), are at all conversant with Oscar Wilde's
wit. Unfortunately, we've no way to evaluate their erudition. But on the
off chance that they're better- read than the average honcho, we might ponder
whether they subscribe to Wilde's insight that "the only thing worse than being
talked about is not being talked about."Wilde's dictum might go a long
way to accounting for Dagan's and Diskin's otherwise inscrutable gabbiness,
which might be no more than the product of an apparently uncontrollable urge to
generate headlines. This may be in keeping with a local penchant alluded to by
the colloquial Hebrew catchphrase for volubility: larutz lesaper lakhevreh. It
roughly translates to "run and tell your friends."But that may be no
more than an intricate ruse they want us to fall for. Their hypothetical
nothing-is-what-it-seems hoax could be in keeping with the Hebrew semi-slang idiom
hafuch al hafuch – literally "opposite on opposite"– i.e. not what you expect,
the opposite of what you assume, creating an impression that's the opposite of
what immediately looks likely.Both the above pearls of our insular
culture may contain some relevance to putting Dagan's and Diskin's spasms of
loquaciousness into some semblance of context.It may well be that both
our former top guns are giving vent to run-of-the-mill run-and-tell inclinations
so pervasive in our minuscule milieu. Most our ex-generals and other security
services higher-ups find it hard to find themselves out of the loop.Our
undersized arena bursts with an overabundance of posturing Napoleonic knock-offs
– cocky military types and prolific know-it-alls – who presume to exclusively
possess what it takes to dictate Israel's agenda.Hubris, testosterone,
bigheadedness, braggadocio and whatnot impel them to make noise hot on the heels
of their formal retirement. Paraphrasing Descartes, their motto appears to be "I
babble, therefore I am."But the "opposite-on-opposite" scenario is far
more appealing. Indeed, it's downright comforting to believe that Diskin and
Dagan are sophisticated performers in a carefully scripted plotline aimed at
swaying the whole world to accept the authenticity of the very facade against
which they ostensibly squeal at the top of their lungs. In other words, rather
than hawk sour grapes, they're in actual fact altruistic actors.It would
be reassuring to trust that these two aren't cast in the mold of assorted
self-important omniscients who proliferate in our puny provincial pond, where
they're prone to shoot off their mouths in the informal contest for which
proverbial rooster crows loudest.It's nice to imagine that the
proclivity to prattle is part of a grand cunning scheme, a clever disinformation
ploy to obfuscate, leave the enemy wondering, guessing and unsure, to throw the
whole watching world into a tizzy, to convince all and sundry that we're led by
a trigger-happy lot.The convoluted subtext is that, if not somehow
placated, we might nuke the neighborhood. This image could be essential
to induce fellow democracies to comprehend that something effective had better
be done about Iran because we're losing patience with the international
community's dalliance. The West's inaction is liable to force us to step into
the breach ourselves.Dagan and Diskin, obviously no novices in sly
stratagems, would be the wiliest choice to persuade the world to get on Iran's
case because otherwise the field would be left to Binyamin Netanyahu and Ehud
Barak, whom both exchiefs assiduously build up as a demented and dangerous
pair.In crafty collusion, the two Ds hype the scary factor of Bibi and
Barak (the two Bs).The supposed subterfuge might not be outlandishly
implausible, on condition we accept the premise that real life can be as
elaborately tricky as espionage yarns. Why else, we may be tempted to ask, would
the Ds choose this especially sensitive juncture for their frenzied verbal
regurgitation? By the scales of conspiracy theory devotees this cannot be
accidental timing. The Ds, moreover, were until recently the guardians of our
deepest national secrets. It's more than a little unexpected for them, of all
ex-hotshots, to blab in order to carp.Otherwise, how are they better
than Anat Kamm? For those who forgot, she's serving time for having duplicated
2,200 documents, while she worked in the OC Central Command's office as a young
conscript, hiding her haul, hanging on to it long after her discharge and
finally entrusting it all to Haaretz reporter Uri Blau who absconded with
it.True, the Ds didn't have to fiddle with computer files. But spilling
the beans is spilling the beans, the modus operandi notwithstanding. Even
staffers in private business firms must sign undertakings not to tattle about
confidential company data after their employment has ended.However, like
Kamm, the Ds glory in the pose of courageous whistle-blowers desperately
defending the public's right to know. Here too pseudo-moral narcissism is lauded
by this country's domineering left-leaning media as the epitome of politically
correct bon ton.Not only did the Ds, like Kamm, thumb their noses at
their elementary obligations, but their cheerleaders now tell us that, like her,
they did so out of conviction that they know best what's best for us.Yet
do they know better? Did they discover Gilad Schalit's whereabouts for five
years right under their noses? Did they foresee a smidgen of the upheaval
misnamed as the Arab Spring? Their list of failures or not-quite-successes is
too long to inspire uncritical adulation.We could kiss our national
interests goodbye if each member of our defense hierarchy – regardless of status
– were to decide that he/she is empowered to determine national policies and/or
subvert endeavors not to his/her liking. That may be precisely what assorted
varieties of leftist anarchists fervently desire. Their goal is to destabilize,
even abolish, all authority. To that end, the Ds, like Kamm a couple of years
ago, are an absolute boon.The spinmeisters embraced Kamm as a youthful
idealist purportedly entitled to impose upon Israel's democratic collective what
she deemed appropriate. These very spinmeisters now genuflect to the Ds'
professed professionalism.They wouldn't gripe without reason, we're
told. But why did the Ds conceal their mistrust of the Bs for so long? If they
were certain that we entrusted our government into inept hands, why didn't they
alert us earlier? Why did they keep working with incompetents for so long? Why
did they seek extended tenures and why did they accept them? Why didn't they
resign in protest in real time, which would have been the honorable move to
make? To grumble from the sidelines is too much like what many of us do in
Friday evening gossip and fix-the-world sessions. The Ds shouldn't be
automatically absolved of all ulterior motives. They provided no proof, only
innuendo. The fact that the insinuations in question came from ex-big
wheels hardly renders them infallible.The Ds don't know anything more
than their erstwhile bosses. The Ds had already briefed the Bs on
whatever intelligence they gathered. If the two twosomes are indeed at
loggerheads, it can only be over differing analyses of said
information. Here the Ds' opinion isn't necessarily superior. It's an
opinion.This is where things get dicey. Do the Ds really imply
that their opinion deserves to override that of members of a democratically
elected government? If so, they're in effect suggesting that spymasters should
by right and rank call the shots or at least instruct the voters how to cast
their ballots. How will the Ds react if Netanyahu is reelected? The Ds'
conceit, to resort to understatement, smells bad. The tendentious
commentators and talking heads who avidly boost the Ds need to think about the
ramifications of backing security chiefs over elected
representatives.Beyond this issue of elementary civic hygiene looms the
Iranian danger. If the tantalizing "opposite on opposite" twist of spy fiction
hasn't bizarrely manifested in this particular tawdry episode, then Dagan and
Diskin are actually pushing us into a military conflict with Iran – the very
conflict against which they rail.One of Netanyahu's and Barak's most
incontrovertible achievements is denting the indifference abroad to Iran's
machinations. To no small measure this was achieved by the threat of an Israeli
preemptive strike. Winning the ear of the US and the EU is utterly indispensable
at this point.Only concerted international action can replace an Israeli
attack. The international community will do nothing if it doubts our assessments
regarding Tehran or our determination to foil the ayatollahs.The Ds'
irresponsible nattering weakens Israel's cause overseas and thereby undermines
the likelihood that Iran's nuclear project can be defused without use of force.
The Ds' superfluous chatter jeopardizes the international coalition against
Iran, demoralizes Israelis and emboldens Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.Do
acclaimed experts like the Ds fail to understand this? Or has frustrated
ambition and cynicism blinded their judgment? If so, it's time for us all to pay
heed to two more of Wilde's peerless aphorisms: "Ambition is the last refuge of
failure" and "a cynic is one who knows the price of everything and the value of

We knew Miley Cyrus would have news about her next single "We Can't Stop" at tonight's Billboard Music Awards. While we're still holding out hope that we'll get a taste of the song during the awards show, it's looking more like she's just announcing its release date. Except, she already announced it before the show on the
red blue carpet.
Watch up top as Cyrus gets fans excited for the June 3 release of "We Can't Stop." It'll get an exclusive premiere on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, and one bit of intel she revealed: it's produced by the suddenly ubiquitous Mike WiLL Made It.

PISCATAWAY, NJ – Junior WR Willie Foster (Miami, FL) has been named BIG EAST Special Teams Player of the Week while junior FB Brian Leonard (Gouverneur, NY) and freshman DB Courtney Greene (New Rochelle, NY), were named to the league's weekly honor roll for their efforts in the Scarlet Knights' 37-29 win over Pittsburgh on Sept. 30.
Foster returned a punt 71yards for a TD to stake the Scarlet Knights to a 17-0 first quarter lead vs. the Panthers. Foster became the first Scarlet Knight to return a punt and a kickoff for a touchdown in the same season since Ken Smith in 1980. Foster's 71-yard punt return in the first quarter was his first punt return for a TD in his career. He has also returned two kickoffs for touchdowns, an 80-yarder vs. UConn on Nov. 25, 2004, and a 93-yarder earlier this season vs. Villanova on Sept. 10, 2005. It was the first punt return for a TD for Rutgers since Tres Moses returned a punt 66 yards for a TD vs. Buffalo on August 30, 2003. Foster is averaging 17.0 yards per punt return and 32.0 yards per kickoff return.
Leonard rushed 18 times for 68 yards vs. Pittsburgh, and also caught four passes for 62 yards and two TDs. He finished with 130 all purpose yards, the 18th time in the last 19 games that he has attained 100 all purpose yards. He put Rutgers up 7-0 at the 9:25 mark of the first quarter with a 33-yard TD catch from Ryan Hart and caught his second TD pass of the game, this time an 11-yarder from Hart, with 44 seconds left in the second quarter to give Rutgers a 27-0 halftime lead. Leonard has now caught at least one pass in 26 straight games.
A true freshman, Greene had 8.5 total tackles (eight solos, one assist) to lead Rutgers against Pittsburgh. He had one sack and one tackle for loss for minus 21 yards. Greene presently leads Rutgers with 34.5 tackles for the season, including three tackles for loss, one sack, and one forced fumble.
Rutgers (3-1) returns to action this Saturday, when it hosts 4-1 West Virginia at noon. The game will be televised live locally on the MSG Network and on WB-17 in the Philadelphia market.

Leaf Peeper
It gives me great pleasure to announce the launch of my first book in collaboration with Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau.
Leaf Peeper is now available for pre order through Rokov Publishing - http://rokovpublishing.com/
The book is about "Momijigari", the Japanese tradition of visiting scenic places in autumn to see the leaves of the trees as they turn red. My photographs follow a Japanese man on the tourist trail around an Imperial villa in Kyoto as he takes endless pictures of the darkening leaves. I invited friend and long time collaborator Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau to write a short fiction in response to the photos. The text runs in parallel to the images and offers a story of insight, ignorance and blocked sinuses.

During a recent interview with The Los Angeles Times, Josh Brolin revealed that Spike Lee has a three-hour director's cut which he prefers more than the 104-minute theatrical cut, because it is "quieter with more character-centric moments." When asked about his thoughts on the version fans will see in theaters this Thanksgiving, the actor offered a diplomatic response.
Oldboy was released November 27th, 2013 and stars Elizabeth Olsen, Josh Brolin, Samuel L. Jackson, Hannah Simone, Hannah Ware, Sharlto Copley, Michael Imperioli, Max Casella. The film is directed by Spike Lee.

News Corp: The Stock Implications of the Ongoing Scandal
Jane is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Early this week News Corp's (NASDAQ: NWS) stock price held up at 19.44, with the 52-week range of 13.83 to 20.79, after the latest developments in the UK scandals. Not only that, it rose the next day to 19.78. Perhaps there's confidence in the magic touch of News Corp head Rupert Murdoch.
As the world knows by now, Reuters reported that two Sun journalists had attempted suicide and are in the hospital. Attempted suicides are no small problem. Only a few weeks ago the suicide issues at Foxconn reverberated around the news outlets. After all, this was a Chinese iPhone assembly plant, so Apple needed to address these problems head-on. Apple continues to ride high but it is paying lots more attention to corporate social responsibility in managing its global supply chain.
For investors, the subject of suicide also triggers concern about the underlying issues. After all, that kind of information could provide plenty of insight into corporate issues which could weigh on the stock price ultimately. One can interpret this latest incident in a larger ongoing saga in many different ways. Perhaps the bribery scandal has journalists fearing the implications of the crackdown. Perhaps the issues run deeper than we expected. Any diagnosis is speculative at this point, but last year's hacking investigation at the now-shuttered News Of The World lead to an alleged suicide by former reporter and whistleblower Sean Hoare. These problems don't seem to be disappearing.
Of course, beyond speculation about News Corp's suicide issues, we want to focus on the underlying business. Generally, publishing is in a sorry state in many spots globally. News Corp's Australia's newspapers helped contribute to a loss in the company's publishing segment. That is mostly due to the continuing drop in revenues from print advertising, which isn't being replaced by what's coming in from digital ads.
Here in the US, The New York Times Company (NYSE: NYT) had a loss of $39.7 million for 2011 versus a profit of 109.7 million for 2010. The Washington Post Company (NYSE: WPO) reported for fiscal 2011 net income of $116.2 million, compared with $277.2 million the year before. There is a formal deathwatch taking place regarding which newspapers, if any, could be around in 5 years.
Incidentally, one bright spot in the business and one of those which could make it during the next five years is Gannett (NYSE: GCI), at least according to a Market Watch article. Recently a number of insiders such as Director Howard Elias bought the stock. Obviously many other factors come into an analysis of a stock, but Market Watch predicts it could outperform the S&P 500 index over the next 12 months.
Likely any sale of News International, if it were to take place, would not be immediate. First the investigation has to be concluded. The legal fallout in term of lawsuits has to be wrapped up so that the companies can be sold without any legal legacy. Here in the U.S. corporations such as ARCO (NYSE: ARCO) which had, decades ago, acquired companies which had manufactured or sold lead paint, faced trial after trial regarding the alleged damage done. Because of litigation like that, those on the prowl for an acquisition now will do their legal due diligence carefully.
But a sale could happen, even though Murdoch claims those UK newspapers are "part of him" and he is described as having "ink in his veins." Last week News Corp president, chief operating officer and deputy chairman Chase Carey even explicitly said that if it were sold the stock would have a higher rating. Currently it is undervalued and with good reason since its margins – operating at 15.3%, gross at 37.33% - are low for the industry. Carey's statement paves the way for a future sale, especially if News Corp tries another run at buying BSkyB. Investors would cheer if that was the first step in ridding the company of all its newspapers holdings. For 2Q of fiscal 2012, although publishing had losses, the other segments, ranging from cable to film, grew.
Could all the newspapers go, including Murdoch's crown jewel The Wall Street Journal? Murdoch might eventually see that as useful to prevent agitation among shareholders. He has shown in many ways that he will take drastic measures to resurrect his ailing media empire.

Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight
by M.E. Thomas
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
M.E. doesn't have to convince me that she is a very different type of person than most. For me, difference is fascinating but even for those who are comfortable belonging to 'normality' the divergent paths of human nature are extremely revealing. If you are a non conforming individual of any breed, but particularly if you place a high value on logic, many of the tenets M.E.'s morality and life philosophy will resonate with you. If you aren't, they might explain why certain people around you panic when you break down and start crying.
The style is engaging and readable, I can certainly believe sociopaths are charming! and although M.E. is not, and admits to this herself, a fully mature individual; she is self reflective and intelligent in a completely new way so that her observations are extremely valuable and different than those of neurotypicals.
"What makes you a sociopath is not that you choose to do certain things, but that you are presented with an entirely different set of choices than a neurotypical person."
Interesting and entertaining. For the review, visit The Book Wheel.
Even after reading mixed reviews on the book I decided to give it a shot. The book is more autobiographical but the author freely admits to changing things to hide their identity and protect from potential lawsuits. The narrative jumps around and smugness of the book just grated on my nerves. After a while I was actively skimming looking for anything that might be interesting. I'm glad that I got this from the library because I don't think I would have wanted to have wasted my cash on this.
I've met more than a few sociopaths in my time and some of them have written books, but this is the first book I've read by someone who defines herself as a sociopath and sets out to demystify the condition.
That, alone, makes it an interesting premise for a book and this book is certainly intriguing, although not entirely successful. Since one of the markers for sociopathy/psychopathy is a lack of insight into the self or interest in self-analysis, the very fact that Thomas went to all the trouble, over the course of years, to engage in all this self-examination makes the work somewhat suspect. It should also be noted that none of the medical professionals she consulted can, because of confidentiality laws, confirm or refute any of her assertions. Quite convenient, that.
M.E. Thomas writes under a pseudonym, but has been revealed elsewhere to be a modestly successful lawyer. This is useful information in that knowing who the actual person is and knowing some facts about her life gives the reader a comparison for the grandiose claims she makes about herself in her book. Is she really so highly intelligent, so astonishingly alluring, does she really not worry about her lack of income due to her ability to play the stock market and average a 9.5% return? Well, it's best to remember that one of the hallmarks of a sociopath/psychopath is that they lie like a rug and have a highly exaggerated sense of self-worth.
M.E. Thomas may be a "successful" sociopath, as she asserts, by which she means she lives well, has relationships, and contributes, in a fashion, to society. On the other hand, she may just be a nasty bit of work, a narcissist, a liar, a user, a con artist, and a petty criminal. Either way, someone who dedicates a chapter of her book to "ruining people" is unlikely to do herself much good with this book. It has sold rather well though, so perhaps because she doesn't give a fig for other people, money is consolation enough.
One gets the sense Thomas would like to be both admired and feared, so perhaps my reaction, which is to pity her, will elicit her wrath. She does have wrath in spades, apparently. For example, when a city worker chided her for using an off-limits escalator, Thomas followed him, a "metallic" taste in her mouth, fantasizing about killing him and "how right that would feel." Violence was avoided, apparently, when she lost sight of him in the crowd. "I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to actually kill him," she says, "but I'm also relatively certain I would have assaulted him." However, she writes with what appears to be affection for a non-judgmental, Christian co-worker whose "willingness to regard me as a human begin despite her firm belief I was a sociopath offered me the possibility that I could be understood and accepted as I was. She was proof that not all people with consciences and empathy were appalled by the existence of people like me." For someone who insists she doesn't care about others and has no use for either a conscience or empathy, this is contradictory.
The book is adequately written. The prose is clean and the research is fine but, ike many such works, the writer seems to have revealed more about herself, and different things, than she intended. She says, for example, that she never engaged in any criminal behavior but also says she has a""significant history of impulsive, aggressive, and generally irresponsible conduct — things like fistfights and theft." She talks about theft quite casually. Underlying the entire work is a sort of plea to be pitied, to be accepted as her kind co-worker accepted her. One suspects such acceptance would be used only to Thomas's advantage however (as outlined in her "Emotions and the Fine Art of Ruining People" chapter). It's the sad push-me-pull-me stance of a deeply damaged person.
Where her lack of insight is in boldest relief is during her examination of her childhood, which was -- contrary to her assertions -- not normal at all. Beatings, neglect and a lack of security ought never to be considered 'normal' and the fact Thomas does consider it that way is evidence of a serious problem, although Thomas doesn't seem to understand that.
In the end, I didn't want to spend any more time than was necessary with this book and the relentless self-justification, grandiosity, arrogance and smug conceit. It was simply too sad. Consider this statement: "In a world filled with gloomy, mediocre nothings populating a go-nowhere rat race, people are attracted to the sociopath's exceptionalism like moths to a flame."
Not really. But I wish her well.
Unreliable narrators fascinate me and other people's psychological states intrigue me.
So it's not surprising that when I spotted 'Confessions of a Sociopath' it went straight onto my wish list.
What's it about?
M.E. Thomas is (apparently) a successful American law professor writing about her sociopathy under a pseudonym. Originally, she created a blog - SociopathWorld.com - which became an online community for similarly minded people. Part memoir, part exploration of what creates sociopaths and how society should deal with them, this book offers an insight into her mind, apparently in a bid to make society more tolerant of sociopaths.
What's it like?
Not as shocking as you might expect. For all her talk of "ruining" people, Thomas is neither criminal nor violent; she has never seen the inside of a police cell, although she recognises that her poor impulse control might one day change this. Essentially, her deviance involves manipulating people to get her own way, sometimes simply without regard to their feelings, sometimes in order to hurt them. As she stresses, "empaths" (her catch-all term for non-sociopaths) do these things, too. The difference is that she doesn't experience guilt, and that some people would like to imprison her just for being...her.
Minor revelations abound: she no longer uses knives because she cannot force herself to be sufficiently careful with them; her parents once abandoned her and a sibling in a local park; she deliberately cut all ties with a previously dear friend because the friend's father was diagnosed with cancer and the friend became a chore. Despite her best efforts to shock (in the opening pages she describes leaving a baby opossum to drown), prurient readers will bedisappointed. This sociopath teaches Sunday School and loves her niece.
Her very mildness has left some readers questioning whether the whole book is just a hoax. After all, what self-respecting sociopath would admit that their "ruining" of people is often mostly in their own mind? Perhaps one determined to manipulate your response to her. Personally, I see no reason to doubt her, though I would have found this appealing even if it were simply a well-written fiction.
More questionable is the book's length. At 302 pages long, its not unwieldy, but I felt that leaving out a couple of the later chapters - which really just repeated variations on material covered previously - could have strengthened the book overall. I felt her account of her sexual awakening in Brazil was given more space than it required, and the - albeit quite interesting - idea that bisexuality is a key sociopathic trait had already been discussed.
There's a good balance of personal reflection and broader discussions of how sociopaths are perceived and treated by society. How do you identify sociopaths? What do you do with them when you have? Does their amorality make them more or less culpable of the crimes they commit? Thomas argues that sociopathic traits, guided suitably, can be distinctly beneficial. This fits with ideas in Jon Ronson's non-fiction book 'The Psychopath Test', in which he recognises that many successful business men demonstrate key psychopathic / sociopathic traits.
Who would Thomas be without her sociopathy? She's not sure, but she embraces it even as she recognises that she has no "core" self, that everything she presents to the world is some kind of mask. But then, as she notes: "What's the difference between acting the part of a good lawyer and being one? What's the difference between pretending to be a valuable colleage and being one?" If you participate in a scam long enough, surely it becomes who you are? Ultimately, we all adopt different roles and play them in ways that suit us.
Final thoughts
I found this a genuinely interesting read and digested it slowly over a period of about a month. There is, of course, discussion throughout about the causes or triggers of sociopathy, how far nature and nurture are each responsible. This is particularly key in the final chapter, which considers how sociopathic children develop and how they could be treated. Of course, most researchers / counsellors etc. prefer to talk about children with callous-unemotional traits, rather than diagnosing them using such a prejudicial term, but many will grow into sociopaths. Can this be avoided? If so, how?
Perhaps keen to demonstrate how educated she is, Thomas makes repeated reference to sociopaths in literature, especially Cathy from Steinbeck's 'East of Eden', when developing her theories. Although she refers to key researchers in the field, she rates her own opinions and experiences as equally valid (standard attitude for a narcissist) so it's unsurprising to find the book entirely without references.
If you're interested in a personal take on sociopathy then this would be an interesting read; if you want rigorous research then you'll need to look elsewhere.

Registry myths bustedMust you always register for 12 place settings? Is registering for mountain bikes totally taboo? Here, 11 registry myths are debunked. Get the new rules on registering for wedding gifts.
We can see it clearly: You've made it to the department store, fiance by your side, scan gun in hand, preparing to kick off your registry ... then, out of nowhere, you hear a voice urging you to pick the stainless steel mixer over a fire-engine red one. You see an image of a head shaking in disappointment when your place settings total 13 rather than 12. What's right? What's wrong? Now you can put an end to the guessing game. We asked two masters of the trade to give us the real deal on what's fact and what's plain fiction. At last, here are the answers.
Myth 1: You have to register for both everyday and formal china.
Yes and no. If you've been dying for your own formal set, then by all means, add it on. But if you're looking forward to some day receiving the china that's been in your family for decades, then hold out if you can. Is your entertaining style pretty low maintenance and casual? Then consider doubling up on the everyday. Yes, this really can be done. Jorge Perez, Waterford Crystal's US Director of Bridal and Special Events, suggests that you add two different patterns to your registry to make it a bit more playful and to separate your everyday china from your entertaining dishes.
More from The Knot: 10 marriage proposals gone wrong!
Myth 2: You must add silverware to the list.
"Must" is a very strong word. Silver is definitely more formal and pretty pricey, but if you're sure you'll use it and think your guests would be willing to buy it, then add it on. Perez advises couples to register according to their lifestyle. If you ask for the sterling silver, be prepared to actually break it out and to keep it polished.
Myth 3: Trends will never last. Skip them.
Before jumping on any bandwagon, step back and think about what you and your fiancé like. Tangerine and turquoise might be the hottest colors of the season, but will they still be as fresh on your table 10 years from now? View your registry as a companion to your marriage. Sure, new pieces come with time, but they'll be additions to what you already have, not their replacements. Add the trendier items as accents. Go for the golden-edged serving bowl, even if your china has a platinum band. Let your registry show off your sense of style.
More from The Knot: Celebrity engagement ring look-alikes
Myth 4: Bedding always needs to match.
If you're a pair who likes coordinating sets, then you should stick to it. But if you're a daring duo who prefers the look of striped sheets with a damask duvet cover, then let your creative spirit run wild and add both to your registry. Having access to different patterns means that you can make quick seasonal swaps without a complete room décor overhaul.
Myth 5: Monogramming is so old-school.
On the contrary, we like to describe it as classic with serious staying power. Today's choices for fonts and colors make this a chic and updated accent to just about every home item. Celebrity wedding and event planner Mindy Weiss loves monogramming: "It's a special and personal way of setting your gift apart from someone else's. Plus, it makes it only for the two of you." Almost anything can be monogrammed, from pillows and blankets to barware and coasters. Our advice: Keep it tasteful by not going on initial overload. Avoid clicking the "Personalize It" button for every item on your registry.

Myth 6: It's greedy to have a registry at more than one store.
Greedy? No. Smart? Yes. We recommend that couples select two or even three places to make gift buying as convenient as possible for guests, especially the out-of-towners. Try your best to be considerate here: Don't just set up a registry at a little boutique that's near your house because they carry one fancy vase that you love. Making a special trip there is a lot to expect of your guests. Instead, you should set up at least one registry at a major department store (with a website) so all of your guests have easy access to what you want. Keep in mind that if you end up registering at too many places, returns will become an even bigger hassle for you!
Myth 7: Never register for items that are too pricey. You'll look tacky.
Nothing should be off-limits, but you need to maintain your perspective. Register for an assortment of gifts that target different price ranges you want to have a variety. Chances are that avocado scooper will be just as handy as the KitchenAid mixer. Guests actually like to look at your lists and handpick items they know you'll enjoy. They can bundle some of the less expensive items together. For pricey items, don't forget about the group gift. Coworkers, schoolmates and friends like to chip in together so they can buy a more expensive present. "Go on, give them the chance!" says Perez.

Myth 8: If you're already living together, you have nothing to register for.
Nothing could be further from the truth! You might have all of your place settings, but are they equipped to take on hosting Thanksgiving? Now's the time to request the turkey platter, gravy boat and soup tureen. Maybe you've been saving up to try and fill that big, bare space above the sofa. Pick out that scalloped-edge mirror or piece of modern art that you've had your eye on for months. In fact, more and more stores are adding wish list options (kind of like registries) so you can get gifts that the two of you will use. Need surround-sound speakers? Create an Amazon.com wish list. Want a new front door? Open a registry at Lowe's.
Myth 9: It's bad to put "fun" items on your registry instead of "practical" ones.
What's practical these days? If you two spend most of your weekends outside on the trails, then it makes complete sense to request new mountain bikes and accessories. If you're more the homebody types who like to host parties, then it's a good idea to add items that you'll use all the time, such as a hammock, charcoal grill and fire pit. Make practical choices to suit your lifestyle. Weiss adds: "This is your registry, so if you want fun items, then register for them!" Leave it up to your guests to decide what they would like to purchase for you.
More from The Knot: 19 problems every bride deals with
Myth 10: You need to register for no less than 12 place settings.
Not so. Think magic number eight! That's the minimum number you should aim for. But you can definitely register for more. Consider your entertaining personality before you make any decisions. For example, if you're a couple who prefers buffet-style dining, then you may want to add more dinner and charger plates than a couple who prefers hosting in a formal style.
Myth 11: It's wrong to add honeymoon activities and flat-screens to your list.
Absolutely not. Really, it's not. "This is a great option that so many brides and grooms are on to now," says Weiss. The trick to doing it well is to make a conscious effort to have traditional and nontraditional items. But don't feel guilty or weird. Friends and family want to buy you things you'll really use. You're not doing them any favors by letting them buy you a second food processor just because that's what they expect you to register for. If you have what you need, let 'em treat you to an afternoon scuba dive at the hotel where you're honeymooning.
Final Tally
We stopped keeping score. There's really only one rule we insist you obey: Create a list that caters to your lifestyle. Having a customized registry doesn't mean adding monograms to every linen and throw pillow. It does mean selecting items that you and your fiance want and need. And if you'd rather skip the double old-fashioned glasses and triple up on the margarita ones, then go for it. We promise that we won't judge (and neither will they).

10 tricks to looking taller
Dressing to look taller isn't a simple one-two punch of Aquanet-ing a 3-inch Snooki-pouf and stepping into 6-inch stilettos. Instead, lengthening a petite body type involves an entire conference of teams: necklines, hems, color palettes, print types, shoe shapes. They all affect how long and lean you look—even before you take heel height into account. (Good to know, because we can't all be Victoria Beckham and wear architectural Louboutins to the dentist, now can we?)

Thursday police received a tip that a man wanted on multiple warrants was hiding at a residence in Colleton County. The Colleton County Sheriff's Office observed the the wanted man, Samuel Campbell, arriving at the residence.
As police officers were arresting Campbell they located cocaine, methamphetamine and hypodermic needles in his vehicle. Megan De Los Santos, a passenger in the vehicle, was also subsequently taken into custody.
Authorities obtained a search warrant for the home and found a 'one pot' lab with all the ingredients and chemicals for meth production. They also discovered a multitude of hypodermic needles, digital scales, a large amount of meth waste, and an undetermined amount of methamphetamine.
DEA was notified and agents assisted with the identification and dismantling of the lab.

Deadpool Classic, Vol. 2: Joe Kelly, Ed McGuinness, Kevin Lau, Pete Woods, Shannon Denton, John Fang, Aaron Lopresti, Bernard Chang: 9780785137313: Amazon.com: Books
I say start with Vol. 2 because Vol. 1 is mostly the Rob Leifeld stuff before he was funny. Unfortunately, the very first issue of Joe Kelly's run is in Vol. 1 (because otherwise everyone would skip it, probably), but you'll be fine starting with Vol. 2. I want to warn you that this isn't Watchmen. The book doesn't really hit it's stride until later, but from here you get some good fun and a couple laughs. It's a good starting point.
I want to say that the newly released Gail Simone book would be a better starting point, but I need to re-read it first. Hopefully, my shop has the copy I order when i go to pick my books up this week and I can let you know.

Vince McMahon posted a picture of himself in the gym on Twitter.
Now that she has given birth, Taryn Terrell has started working out, in order to get in shape for wrestling again.
Since he has one of the most impressive physiques in professional wrestling, an industry filled with well toned bodies, Scott Steiner has been asked for years about his workout program, so the former WCW star released a fitness DVD, which teaches beginning, intermediate and advanced level people.
There are those backstage that are hoping that TNA does not get rid of the Joseph Park character, as they feel that he is a character that still has some life left. Plus, it seems like Christopher Parks genuinely enjoys playing the role, as he does put a lot of attention into the details.

Anyone who follows a service provider on Twitter likely has seen the get-out-the-vote pleas: Help get my restaurant/store/salon
onto one of the "Indy's best" lists. I know my timeline has been full of them lately—enough so to
make me question the business value of making the grade.
(In the interest of full disclosure, I'll admit I've been a "best of" skeptic ever since Outback was named the top steakhouse in Fort Wayne more than a decade ago. In a city full of meat-and-potatoes restaurants, I just didn't buy it.)
Of course, the lists are far from scientific. They're typically compiled by media outlets who solicit votes from their audience. And I certainly can't blame business owners for wanting a pat on the back.
But time is scarce, and money talks. So I wonder if the payoff is worth the investment. Sure, it's nice to be able to say you're the best cat wrangler in central Indiana, but does it bring customers through the door?

Today, our friends at Public Knowledge launched the Internet Blueprint, where they will be hosting new ideas for positive policymaking where people can vote up or down ideas and help them draft legislation. We encourage you to take a look at all the bills, they're proposing. We've found one in particular we'd like to support, right out of the gate.
A much needed amendment to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 1998 has been proposed by our friends over at Public Knowledge to modernize and improve the legislation. The Strengthening and Protecting DMCA Safe Harbors Act would amend section 512 to penalize bogus takedowns — like the takedown of an anti-SOPA Techdirt post we wrote about previously.
The amendments include penalties for anyone who knowingly or recklessly misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, including liability for damages incurred by the alleged infringer and reasonable legal fees if the takedown is proven to be without merit.
The proposed legislation would require proof that the alleged infringer was served with a notice, or an explanation of why this did not occur, as a safeguard against surprise takedowns. The legislation also calls for a free, publicly accessible, and searchable database of all takedown notices and counter notices to increase transparency and guard against bogus takedowns.
Finally, the proposed amendment seeks to protect subscribers to infringing sites with due warning of takedown and prompt return of files owned, in order to protect users who subscribe to services which turn out to be infringing.
Click here to read more from PK's blueprint for DMCA Safe Harbors.
Now that the dust has settled after the fight against SOPA and PIPA, it's time to take positive action in becoming involved in shaping future policies that protect an open and vibrant internet, one which is safe for commerce and property, and one that fosters innovation. Legislation like the Safe Harbors amendment, and others already listed on the Blueprint are the kinds we at Engine would like to see more of, and the sooner more work can be done on these important issues, the better.
Today, our friends at Public Knowledge launched the Internet Blueprint, where they will be hosting new ideas for positive policymaking where people can vote up or down ideas and help them draft legislation. We encourage you to take a look at all the bills, they're proposing. We've found one in particular we'd like to support, right out of the gate.
Another SOPA-in-practice moment: Our friends at TechDirt have had an anti-SOPA/PIPA post taken down in the name of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA).
Only problem is, there's no infringing content to be found anywhere near the post. Not in the post itself, not in any of the comments. Nowhere. Which, since the post has now been surreptitiously disappeared from search engine results, is more than a little worrying, as it gives substance to the fear that anti-copyright measures can be and are used to suppress free speech. The Techdirt team was given no notification of the takedown or opportunity to remove the so-called infringing content, either. They stumbled on it a month later doing a regular Google search.
And given that the post that was taken down was a primer on how to fight SOPA/PIPA copyright legislation, it all leaves a pretty bad taste in the mouth.
Read the Techdirt post here. We'll be watching what happens.
Twitter will indeed be censoring tweets - on a country by country basis according to the laws of the country being tweeted in. So, if a country's government outlaws certain content, offending tweets will be taken down - but only in that country. Olivier Basille, from Reporters Without Borders, drafted a letter urging Twitter to reconsider a policy that from his point of view, kowtows to localized censorship and could therefore potentially contravene international free speech standards. Basille posits that the change will stifle online dissidents who have previously used Twitter to great effect to stay informed and organize protests, such as last year's social media fuelled revolution in Egypt.
But there are plenty of arguments to suggest that this won't be the case. For starters, the new policy differs from their previous one in only one respect: until now, these tweets would have had to be blocked worldwide. This means that instead of completely censoring any content deemed illegal by any government, all content will be available everywhere, with limitations only in effect for the country with the legality issue. And for those worried that localized censorship will hinder activism, John Castone over at Mashable makes a good point when he says that activists are smart enough to tweet in code if need be. Twitter explicitly says they can't block a user unless there is "valid and applicable legal order".
Furthermore, Twitter will be posting all its take downs on watchdog site ChillingEffects.org. It's also worth noting that all sites have to censor content to stay within the bounds of the law (in order to avoid being shut down) — including eBay, Google, and Facebook. Most of them just don't tweet about it.
On balance, it appears there will actually be less censorship than before - and more transparency when censorship does occur. As effective an activism tool as it has proven to be, even Twitter can't operate outside of the bounds of the law. By complying with government regulations, despite any questions as to the morality of these laws, the platform can remain in countries where activism might be needed most.
The oppressive regime in Belarus set a new law into effect today which tightens the already strict regulation of internet use by making it illegal for Belarussians to visit foreign websites. The Eastern European country established an extreme level of control over internet use last year when it issued Presidential Decree No. 60, under which ISPs are required to block access to certain types of content and specific URLs – which are so far not disclosed to the public. A similar, US version of this legislation – the Communications Decency Act of 1996 - sparked controversy in the mid-90's and was eventually overturned for violating First Amendment rights.
The new law is ostensibly to regulate online commerce – that is, making sure only domestic domains are used to provide online services – and violating it will result in a misdemeanor with a fine not to exceed the equivalent of about $125. However, the implications could be much more serious than a slap on the wrist and a small fine. The law requires that internet cafes and individuals providing internet access to other parties be responsible for any illegal browsing or e-commerce, and failure to report illegal usage of foreign sites could result in the business being shut down. This kind of excessive punishment essentially discourages public internet use. The government also has authorization to change and add to the list of banned sites – a level of governmental control that civil rights groups are distressed by (Freedom House rates Belarus' press freedom "not free" with "substantial political censorship").
Meanwhile, Spain has passed anti-piracy legislation remarkably similar to the SOPA bill. Under the new Sinde law, a special commission will be formed to react to copyright infringement complaints made by rightsholders. Slightly less draconian than SOPA, the websites will have ten days to remove the infringing material before being shut down. However, the bill has generated major opposition in Spain to what people see as a misleading law enacted for the benefit of Hollywood.
These battles mark crucial junctions for the future of open internet. Just as the rejection of the Communications Decency Act was a pivotal moment in the creation of an unrestricted and dynamic internet landscape back in 1996, laws like Decree No. 60, Sinde, and SOPA/PIPA could set the tone for a more closed, stifled, and creatively impoverished world wide web.
We included Malaysia in this list because it recently ordered various sites to be blocked for copyright reasons without meaningful due process for the affected sites — just as the current versions of SOPA and PIPA in the United States would propose to do.
The Malaysian government's desire to stop large-scale, commercial piracy is an admirable goal, and one that we agree with, but site blocking is not the right way to do it — it censors legal content unnecessarily (like the legitimate artists who use sites Megaupload to distribute their works); it is ineffective; and it threatens the security and integrity of the Internet.
By putting Malaysia in between China and Iran in that sentence, we did not mean to imply that its level of censorship and repression of free expression is akin to theirs. That would be a false comparison. To our knowledge, Malaysia's action in this particular instance of copyright is a break from their history of fostering ICT development.
It is our hope that Malaysia will take steps to ensure it has no place on this list.

Today, nearly 40 million immigrants call the United States their home, including almost 3 million in California alone. The country's immigrants include 11 million new Americans who are living and working in the shadows because the U.S. immigration system is broken. It's time to create a fairer immigration process that is worthy of our country's highest ideals, and that strengthens our communities and our economy.
Why This Work is Important
Immigrants come to the United States seeking the same things that have attracted so many others over decades and centuries before – freedom from poverty and prejudice, a chance at a better life for themselves and their families. And yet millions of immigrants still face enormous obstacles to their full participation in American society – from denial of employment and education opportunities to exploitation at work to discriminatory law enforcement practices and more.
Where There's Progress
The immigrant rights movement has built a strong base of activists, significant communications muscle, and solid relationships with labor and faith groups, as well as parts of the business community that rely on employing immigrants. Because of these strengths, the movement has achieved important gains in recent years. Chief among these was President Obama's announcement in 2012 that the federal government would stop deporting the children of undocumented immigrants (Dreamers) and provide them with temporary work permits. But none of the recent wins for the movement is a substitute for federal immigration reform offering a roadmap to citizenship for aspiring Americans.
What We're Doing
The Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund has a long history of working to lift up the voice, leadership, and civic participation of immigrant communities. Building on this commitment, we were one of the first foundations to get involved in supporting the movement for federal immigration reform. We were an early investor in the Four Freedoms Fund, the national funding collaborative for the immigration movement. In addition, we have supported many of the key organizations educating the public about the need for reform, while at the same time investing in California-based immigrant groups working on this issue. Since the launch of the Immigrant Rights and Integration program in 1999, the Haas, Jr. Fund has made grants totaling more than $35 million in this area.
How We'll Get There
Immigration policy is one of the most hotly contested issues of our time. But creating a roadmap to citizenship for aspiring Americans is within reach. In the months ahead, our work will focus on the following activities:
- Creating greater understanding of the need for federal and state policy reform. We are supporting non-lobbying educational activities to create greater understanding about the need for federal immigration reform that puts 11 million aspiring Americans on a path to citizenship and addresses other movement priorities. At the state level, we are supporting organizations (such as the California Immigrant Policy Center and MALDEF) to educate the public and decision-makers about policy changes necessary to support immigrant rights and integration in California and make the state a model for the country.
- Encouraging grassroots involvement of immigrants. We are working with our partners in California Civic Participation Funders to increase nonpartisan voter engagement and organizing in immigrant communities in San Diego, Orange County and the Inland Empire. In the years ahead, we will continue to support efforts aimed at engaging new and infrequent immigrant voters.
- Increasing the number of citizens in California and nationally. We are playing a leadership role in the New Americans Campaign, which aims to ease the path to citizenship for legal permanent residents (also known as green card holders). Since NAC started in mid-2011, over 52,000 citizenship applications have been completed. The New Americans Campaign seeks to help another 30,000 people overcome the barriers to becoming citizens this year.
- Building a stronger immigrant rights movement. We are helping the immigrant rights movement's national leaders, including the National Immigration Forum, United We Dream and Center for Community Change, to craft messages and education campaigns that advance the cause of reform. We are supporting regional immigration coalitions, Dreamer networks and local groups (such as CHIRLA, SIREN and the Justice for Immigrants Coalition) as they carry out education efforts about the needs of immigrants. In addition, we support efforts to strengthen California's voice in national policy debates such as the process that led to the development of the California Values Statement for Immigration Reform.
- Advancing the cause of the Dreamers. We are working with our movement partners to promote greater awareness of the unique needs of Dreamers. In December 2012, we awarded $1 million to UC Berkeley, the nation's single-largest gift for scholarships for undocumented students. We are also supporting legal services and outreach to assist as many California Dreamers as possible to obtain authorization and temporary work permits under President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
- Nurturing movement leaders. We are investing to build the skills of immigrant movement leaders across the state through the Fellowships for a New California. In addition, we are providing convening opportunities for the leaders of statewide immigration policy groups in California in order to increase collaboration within the movement.

University of Toronto has developed efficient, flexible OLED on plastic engineered
An advanced optical thin-film coating that allows organic LEDs on plastic to be as efficient as those made on rigid glass unlocks the potential of OLEDs and leads the way toward flexible, lighter, less expensive and impact-resistant displays.
The developers, researchers in the University of Toronto's Department of Materials Science & Engineering, believe that their OLED on plastic device is comparable to the best glass-based OLEDs.

PALM BAY - Wine enthusiasts from Brevard County and beyond will gather at the Riverhouse Farm and Vineyard in Palm Bay Saturday, Aug. 18 for the 10th annual Grape Stomp event.
Coordinated with the Space Coast Wine Guild, the event will feature wine tastings, live music with the Bob Parker Band and wine and jelly-making demonstrations.
Riverhouse Farm and Vineyard, owned by Bob and Ruth Anne Parker, is a 9-acre property with one acre devoted entirely to grape-growing.
The unique property features a 1940s home that Mr. Parker relocated from Riverside Drive in Cocoa in 2003. Mr. Parker said he stumbled across the house around the same time he was planning on turning the Palm Bay property into a vineyard.
All of the grapes grown at Riverhouse Farm are of the muscadine variety, which thrives in Florida's climate, Mr. Parker said.
Muscadines are native to the Southeast, he said.
Mr. Parker and his wife care for 160 vines in the vineyard. Mr. Parker said it takes three years from the time the vines are planted to the first production. The vines go dormant in the winter, the first buds appear in the spring, and the grapes ripen in August and September.
"The muscadines are not like the California grapes; they don't get ripe at the same time," Mr. Parker said. "We spend several weeks working through the vineyard. These grapes are pulled individually - not like the European grapes."
Though the name of the upcoming event may conjure up images of Lucille Ball, crushing grapes with her feet in a giant barrel, Mr. Parker said his grapes are juiced using a mechanical crusher.
Mr. Parker said he and his wife became interested in having a grape farm almost by accident.
"We noticed that wild grapes grew well out here," he said. "So we thought maybe we should try planting them and selling them."
Mr. Parker said that at the time, he didn't know of winemakers in Brevard. He soon discovered the Space Coast Wine Guild.
"We had people here in Brevard winning medals for their wine," Mr. Parker said.
Over the years, Mr. Parker has fine-tuned caring for the vines.
He said that insects are not a problem with the Muscadine grapes, so no pesticides are used. He said the grapes are organic, except for the use of a fungicide.
"We will stop using the fungicide two weeks before harvest," Mr. Parker said.
While insects are not a problem, local raccoons have found the grapes to be irresistible.
"It's almost comical what we have to do to keep the raccoons out," Mr. Parker said.
During season, the farm is open six days a week from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Visitors can self-pick grapes for eating or to make wine. Both white and red grapes are available.
