CIRA agent Jackson Reeves won't be denied his revenge…
He's hunted down and killed the men responsible for his family's fatal "accident"—all except the mastermind, Ash Crest. The problem is someone beat him to it, and Jackson won't rest until he finds out who, and why. His search is complicated, because he's several years into an undercover operation to take down the Cardoza Cartel and can't risk blowing his cover.
Jackson's sister Danielle is in danger from the very organization he has to pretend to support…
Camden Cardoza intends to take over the Cartel from his father, but to do so he needs a wife, and he has his sights on Danielle. Jackson knows he has to bring down the Cardozas before they claim his sister.
CIRA sends in more agents, including the beautiful and mysterious Night Stripe, whose task is to befriend Danielle and infiltrate the Cartel. Jackson struggles to find a way to communicate without giving both of them away…and falls for her in the process.
Jackson and Night Stripe walk the thin line between their mutual attraction, conflicting missions, and the danger of discovery, as Jackson's objectives threaten to overwhelm him, putting those he loves in danger.
Can Jackson defeat the Cartel, save his sister, find Ash Crest's killer, and complete his revenge—without losing his heart, mind, or life in the process?

Why Are Trans Fats Bad?
The Dangers Of Trans Fatty Acid – The Real Bad Fat
If you're wondering what trans fats are, then you're probably either health conscious or you just want to avoid them, because the likelihood is you've heard bad things.
It could well be that most of what you've heard is on the money because trans fats are bad and more than deserving of the (sometimes aggressive) derision they are met with.
Taking good, healthy fats and turning them into something bad for you is a real problem for the consumer, especially in an era where junk food is already omnipresent.
This could have a massive effect on health in the west.
Thankfully, the fight back against artificial trans fatty acid has begun.
Read on to discover what trans fats are and why they're so bad for your health.
How Are Trans Fats Made?
Trans Fat Definition – The Hideous Laboratory Fat
Trans fatty acids (TFAs) start off life as good fats like polyunsaturated fats or monounsaturated fats, but funnily enough, they don't begin as the most commonly despised fat… Saturated. Which is all kind of ironic, because it turns out that Trans fats are the worst of all.
Why are they so bad?
Because they tamper with them and turn perfectly healthy fats into what could easily be called the Frankenstein's monster of fats. "Frankenfats is you please".
They use a something called hydrogenation, which in itself sounds relatively harmless, but in reality, they warp the molecular nature adding more hydrogen atoms and in turn create a type of super saturated fat – The ultimate in bad health. (1)
What Does This All Mean Then?
Trans fats are not natural and must be created artificially. Trans fat definition = "Frankenfat"
Why Did They Create Such A Product?
Why Tamper With Nature?
The whole idea was to stabilize oil and make a butter substitute and thus sell more oil, which they did, but in the process, they single handed added one of the most unhealthy foods the world has ever seen to the tables of your average family.
There's nothing wrong with a business trying to make money. There's also nothing wrong with consumers making the choice to eat unhealthy food, but for some time, the link between trans fatty acids and poor health wasn't as well established as it is now.
Trans Fat vs Saturated Fat
For a long time, saturated fat was the demonized fat and was very unpopular, but now with a greater knowledge of the role glucose plays in fat storage and disposal, trans fat has become public fat enemy number 1.
Currently, we have a much better understanding of how fat works in the body and how the extreme saturation of trans fats can adversely affect the health of human beings.
For this reason, there's been a concerted effort in communities to move away from products containing trans fatty acids, and in some cases, there have been bans.
So, Why Did They Do It?
It was just a commercial decision so they could sell more oil. Unfortunately, it ended up being very unhealthy and now we know it.
What About Natural Trans Fats?
Ruminant Trans Fatty Acids
It's important to make a distinction between man-made trans fats and the natural ruminant trans fatty acids ones that are not in any way tampered with.
There are naturally occurring trans fats in normal everyday foods like milk or cheese, but they make up such a small proportion of total fat, whereas manufactured foods where contrived trans fats are the main ingredient could contain anywhere up to 60 percent trans fat.
That's clearly not ideal.
So while there are bad trans fats in many items, you shouldn't worry about the ones in naturally created products, because no testing has to date been able to show ruminant trans fatty acids as being a health issue unlike the hydrogenated, artificially created variety. (2)
There's no reason to forgo milk or cheese unless you are lactose intolerant, adverse to dairy or making a personal conscience based choice.
What's The Bottom Line Here?
There are natural ruminant fats that are not to be confused with the artificial variety which are much more dangerous.
Why Are Trans Fats Bad?
The Health Risks And Dangers Of Trans Fatty Acid
So far, we've talked about how bad these awful fats are, but it's important to know some of the potentially dangerous effects of trans fat consumption. It's may be enough to make you change your eating habits.
Some of the effects of TFAs are:
Metabolic Issues
A Strain On The Body
It is thought that ordinary trans fats are hard for the body to dispose of and therefore place added strain on vital functions. As opposed to good fats like omega 3, which the body finds relatively easy to use and metabolize efficiently.
This extra strain that bad fat creates can have negative health effects that may become a bigger issue in time, especially with the constant consumption of trans fatty acids in the diet.
Just another reason to eliminate bad trans fat in your diet.
LDL Cholesterol
Bad Cholesterol
Trans Fat can raise your LDL cholesterol making them dangerous and putting you at risk of health problems that include a potential heart attack, stroke, or the development of cardiovascular disease. These are fats to be taken seriously and avoided as such. (3)
Increased Risk
There are some studies that suggest that eating a diet with trans fat, may increase one's risk of developing symptoms of diabetes and potentially becoming diabetic. (4)
That's bad news considering many of the types of food found with trans fatty acids in them are already pretty lousy nutritional choices.
What Is the Take Home Message Here?
Trans fats can make you fat, may give you high bad cholesterol, and could contribute towards diabetes. So, they're BAD!
What Is The Future Of Trans Fats
The End Is Nigh For TFAs
Knowing what we do now about the dangers of trans fatty acid, it's important to have a look at where the future may take us and how this might affect the very existence of TFAs.
They Are So Bad Some Places Have Banned Them
Going, Going, Gone!
A lot of countries have outlawed them and the regulation has been met with very little opposition other than the producers of these fats. Not a lot of people are willing to protect their freedom to sell such a product. Some states and counties in the USA have banned trans fats or tightly regulated them, restricting their availability and use by manufacturers.
There are viable alternatives, so most people view it a step in the right direction, whilst some more liberal thinkers believe it is unfair of any government to tell any business what they can and can not sell as the implications may not end there.
Companies Are (Slowly) Moving Away From Them
A Little Late, But Better Than Never
Whether it is conscience, public pressure or the risk of being sued, many companies in the USA are looking at ways of replacing trans fats and phasing them out of their products.
At the end of the day, not many companies want to be associated with a product that could have future litigation in the same vein of the legal battles over tobacco.
Though it may have some people worried that sugar and salt could be next. While it's not likely that sugar and salt will be next on the list on foods to ban, it's an interesting development, especially with areas in California trying to ban soda drinks with sugar in them.
So, Where Will This Leave Trans Fats?
Probably consigned to the pages of history and in cautionary tales.
What Are The Worst Sources Of Trans Fats?
Where Can You Find Them Still?
Having read to this point, it's a good bet that you want to eliminate these awful fats from your diet. The first step is identifying them so you can avoid them at all costs.
Here are some of the biggest offenders that may include such food as:
Alternative Spreads
Butter Imitators
Margarine and shortening are the worst two foods most commonly associated with trans fatty acids.
Any butter-like spread that purports to be an alternative could be a possible source of trans fats, so it's well worth reading the label, even if they are banned in your area, they still might have been imported and somehow slipped through.
Baked Goods
Especially Long Shelf-life Baked Goods
Foods with trans fats may include bakery foods, especially sugary pastries, although with government regulations now, they will probably be naturally occurring ones if you live n a regulated area.
Some baked goods that are kept at room temperature for a long time may contain trans fat, so it can require some vigilance to check packaging and labels if you want to avoid such things.
Hidden Trans Fats
Watch Carefully For These Tricksters
Be aware of hidden TFAs in products. By law, any product that has less than .5 grams of trans fats per serving can list the amount as zero, even if that amount is along the lines of .49 grams. So it's both theoretically and entirely possible that a product you consume may have nearly half a gram of trans fatty acids every time you eat it, which could add up to hundreds of grams of TFAs every year.
Be judicious and if in doubt, put the product down and opt for natural foods.
What Does This Mean For The Average Consumer?
Junk food is going to be around no matter what, but be careful to note hidden trans fats. It may require some extra legwork.
What Fats Should You Eat
Better Fat Choices
If you want to replace the bad fats in your diet with good quality, healthy fats then you have to aim for either plant based fats or seafood sources of fat.
Plant Based
From The land
Walnuts are the best, but most nuts are excellent. Seeds are also great like sunflower, sesame and chia seeds.
Some beans like soybeans are good sources of fat. Nut butters are mostly good assuming they're natural and not containing added oils.
Seafood Sources
From The Sea
Salmon and tuna are excellent sources of omega 3 fats, most oily fish are great. Some seafood is quite low fat like calamari, crab and most mollusks, so they have very good, but small amounts of high quality fat.
The best source of good fat in the world is probably wild caught salmon. (5)
To find out more, visit this healthy fats list.
What Does This All Mean For Your Diet?
Nuts, seeds, and seafood are great, but salmon is probably the best sources of good fat.
What Are The Health Benefits Of Good Fats?
How Do They Help?
Good fats are highly beneficial to the human body because they offer a whole host of healthy characteristics.
Some of the advantages of consuming good fats may include:
Fat Burning Assistance
Omega 3 fatty acids can help to boost your metabolism and actually assist with burning stored body fat.
Relief From Inflammation
Omega 3 fats have anti-inflammatory properties that help to repress the prothrombotic agents that can cause inflammation. This also has a positive effect on helping to keep a healthy blood pressure, which is good news for those people with hypertension.
Possible Pain Relief
Eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids that are found in fish oil have been shown to reduce the pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
The Brain
A More Positive Mind
There is some evidence to suggest that omega 3 fats can have a positive mental effect on moods which may be good for people with the symptoms of depression. They may also help people who suffer from attention deficit disorder. Some students take extra fish oil supplementation before exams to ensure optimum nutrition for the brain.
So, What About These Good Health Benefits?
It looks like good fats really can make life a little better and are diametrically opposed to bad fats.
Why Are Trans Fats Bad?
The Conclusion
Eat good fats like omega 3 fats from fish and nuts, and stay away from shortening and cheap pastries, especially long life ones or the imported varieties.
Considering just how much of a health risk TFAs are, it would be wise to take a concerted effort to avoid them, by being consumer smart and aware of packaging.
Trans fats are bad, in fact, there is nothing really good that anyone can say about them and as such, most sensible people would recommend you leave them be.

Dating After Narcissistic Abuse
Ive started dating actively again, after a period of not putting myself out there. Dating in today's day & age, is TRICKY at best.
Once free from the narcissist's web, I ventured into the open waters by dipping my toe in, ever so safely:
I flirt. I think fondly of a new person, compare and contrast and analyze, to the nth degree how narcissistic they are, how reciprocal their behavior, do they have character, boundaries, do they show respect for me….
All the things I've spent the last couple of years learning and applying to my new healthy life & choices post narkopath.
The one issue that keeps arising however, is the issue of TRUST.
One of the most devastating aspects of narc abuse is how it shatters our trust. Our sense of justice, fairness, and somehow that people are basically all good – is completely annhialated by a narc's careless approach towards the human spirit.
In rebuilding the trust in life that things will be okay, that not everyone will be a ruthless predator, there's this HUGE SPACE of FEAR (Mistrust) that's inescapable. Nowhere does it appear more than in new dating relationships.
It goes something like this:
Meet new person.
Interest piqued, you pursue a little, let them know that you're attracted; maybe shoot them a text…asking them out.
You wait.
Suddenly the ALARMS GO OFF , THE BOMB SQUAD IS CALLED IN, and an in depth investigation ensues….
A-ha! Case solved! We've got an unreliable liar on our hands – is this a narc – or just a jerk…a player? Con? What issues do they possess?!!
Their text comes in…."Sure! Id love to!"
So, all the fret, worry, anxiety, catastrophizing and personalizing were for naught.
Which begs the Question:
Does our mistrust CAUSE us to experience EXACTLY WHAT WE DONT WANT, in relationships?
To be abandoned or rejected.
What if expressing our anxiety or giving life to it, through our fearful mistrust & imagination – actually PUSHES people out our lives – due to a self fulfilling prophecy.
How do we come across when we begin showing someone that an action or two of theirs causes great distress in our ability to trust them.
To me, I get the feeling Im coming off a little skiddish out of the gate.
As with everything else I've come to grow into or out of in the aftermath of a narc relatio….I will be gentle and accepting with myself. Ill let my authenticity dictate while balancing it out with being sure that I manage (am responsible for) my own mistrust and fear – and not to push that off on someone else, who's just trying to live life as well.
Dating = trusting + responsibility + self acceptance
Posted on July 28, 2012, in Narcissism. Bookmark the permalink. 9 Comments.
I have a variant of this problem. I am just starting to date a guy who is very reliable and very sweet and giving. This makes me a skittish and squirmish. I am just not used to it. I have written down and talked about all the things I want in a relationship. I have to be patient and just let it sink in, I think. I am afraid of hurting him but that means I believe I will push him away and for no good reason. I think I am acting out the "i don't deserve it" feeling. I've dated two more or less jerks who made me miserable. Critical, perfectionistic pains in the ass – more narcs. This one is NOT like that. Give me patience to get through this and let him be himself and let me be nice to him.
Sandee and Ana, I too feel the same way. Ana I have a lot of work to do shoreing up vulnerabilities and I suspect boundaries and learning to care about rather than care for are keys for me. I will be avidly reading your sight for direction on this. For the first time I'm hopeful in being able to overcome my 'trust issues' and engage with another in a healthy way, as a confident, complete self aware person.
Don't be afraid. My "narkopath" (love that term!) made my life miserable for about 18 years. I couldn't wait to get remarried, though, because I knew there were good men out there, and I was determined to find one. I dated a lot, and trusted my instincts. I didn't know what was wrong with my was-band at the time, but his terrible treatment of me taught me to recognize bad behavior in every man after him. When I met the one guy who was different, we were married 11 months later. We're coming up on our 10th anniversary. Marriage is good. 🙂
How refreshing to hear! I am coming out of a 17 yr relationship. I wouldn't marry the guy because something was offff with him. I did not know what it was at the time.. I do now…I would love to get married. Nice to know there is life after the narc!!
Those were perfectly spoken words. I feel the Same way

|Exploring world history.
|Brian C. Black.
This introduction to the history of oil tells the story of how petroleum shaped human life since it was first discovered leaking inconspicuously from the soil. The author, an environmental history specialist connects the subsequent exploitation of petroleum to patterns in world history while tracing the intricate links between energy and people after 1850. For a century, human dependence on petroleum caused little discomfort as we enjoyed the heyday of cheap crude, a glorious episode of energy gluttony that was destined to end. Today, we see the disastrous results of environmental degradation, political instability, and world economic disparity in the waning years of a petroleum-powered civilization, lessons rooted in the finite nature of oil. This "crude reality" becomes tragic when we measure our overwhelming reliance on this geological ooze. Considering the nature of oil itself as well as the specifics of humans' remarkable relationship with it, this book reveals our modern conundrum and then suggests the challenges of our future without oil. It is this essential context, the author argues, that will prepare us for our energy transition. The author brings to this survey a global perspective, making it broad in scope, and a wide-ranging technical knowledge; it is a contribution to environmental history and the rapidly emerging field of energy history.

Dressed as elegantly, Sanjay Dalmia, Chairman, Dalmia Group of Companies, looks every inch the business tycoon that he is. The ornate wall hangings, costly painting and the chandelier leave no one in doubt about his patrician tastes. Once the conversation veers on freedom fighters, there comes a glint in his eye. It's the sort of topic which makes him emotional. "I get the goose bumps when someone talks to me about freedom fighters and the freedom movement. I love the passion and patriotic fervor which they had for their country," he says.
Little wonder then that Dalmia celebrates his birthday as Bhaarat Maa Gaurav Sandhya, an evening of a musical program which consists of patriotic songs, to felicitate the families of our great freedom fighters, in the remembrance of their supreme sacrifice. This is is an annual event held on 17 March, and this year, also, the event was held at the Dalmia House in the capital.
Never afraid to call a spade a spade, Sanjay Dalmia is quick to say that the genuine freedom fighters never got a fair deal. "Look I am quite certain that the genuine freedom fighters were never recognized or feted. Their descendants still continue to languish. Some of them live in penury as the government has turned their back on them," he added.
He illustrates his point by saying that the privy pass was given to principalities which sided with the British rulers but not to the rulers who opposed them. "I just cannot understand a basic thing — as to how the privy passes were denied to those rulers who fought against the British. If this was not good enough, then another major faux pass which was done was that the rulers who were with the British got this privy pass. I was very angry and made a big issue out of this — telling the government to issue the privy pass to those freedom fighting states. I could not simply stomach the fact that the freedom fighters and nationalists were being given such a raw deal," Dalmia added.
Dalmia was troubled by the government's apathy towards the descendants of freedom fighters. To prove his point, he quotes an example. He had asked for the list of the dependants of those who were housed in the Cellular Jail in Andaman. "I happened to visit this place and must say it was quite a dreadful place. Then I asked the government for a complete list of the current family members of the freedom fighters who were jailed then. The government promised to give me a complete list, but almost a decade later no list has been given to me. It just goes to prove the apathy towards our freedom fighters," said Dalmia.
When asked as to how he developed his admiration and love for the freedom fighters, Dalmia said that since childhood he used to listen to the tales of bravery of the freedom fighters. "I was very fascinated by the stories of the bravery and valour of the freedom fighters which I used to listen to as a youngster. It sort of gave me the goosebumps. My fascination for them grew as I grew older and when I came to know about their plight (how they were ignored) I wanted to do something for them. In fact, when I was an MP, I used to take up their causes," he added.
When asked what made him so sympathetic towards the families of freedom fighters, Sanjay Dalmia said, "As a responsible citizen of India, it is our duty to give back to the nation in whatever small tokens we can. It is my endeavor to lead the conversation on highlighting the supreme sacrifices which fueled our freedom struggle. Furthermore, there is a need in today's fast paced society/culture to engage with the youth and encourage them to be proud of the rich history of our great nation," he went on to say.

The link says everything the title didn't.
lol it was probably gonna suck anyway.
Spider-Man 3 sucked balls. This is good.
You need a better title, though.
Kind of off-topic, but I know Raimi's nephew...
I haven't even seen Spider man 3 yet. And another one already??
the last movie came out in 2007
Spider man 3 = the worst movie I've ever seen. Seriously.
Its probably the only movie that put me to sleep besides those barney movies when I was toddler. Even those were better. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to hire a skinny guy like Topher Grace (sp?) to play eddie brock?
hmm, spidey back in highschool? back before all the events from spiderman 1 2 and 3? yeeeeeaaa.... smart move...
but is it new cast n all, or is it just canned?
I cant say I care about another Spiderman movie. The 3rd one was horrible enough to taint the reasonably good experience that the first two gave me.
I enjoyed Spiderman 3 (I insist on Spiderman rather than Spider-Man), why is everyone else hating it?
Spiderman ended with 2 for me, 3 was just a disgrace.
I think this is a good thing honestly, since Spiderman 3 sucked and the 4th one was probably going to suck too.
The series is not dead though, it's just getting renewed (think Batman Begins and The Dark Knight).
god i can only dream of what spiderman would be like if it was make with the same quality of batman beings of even dare i day it, the dark knight? i would jizz som many times, i would hurt myself.
Goddamn Raimi and his damn World of Warcraft crap, i'd rather it be Spider-Man 4 over World of Warcraft anyday

Ultimate Blog Party 2009
Ultimate Blog Party 2009 Check it out click on the button on the right side bar.
There are prizes: I would like to win prize #20, 32, 12, or 3 or any gift certificate, but I don't win very often. I have not hit the Lotto yet either. I couldn't hit my butt with both hands and it is a pretty big target!
I love a good party! It seems it has been forever since I had one though my two year old son Davey is a very willful and demanding child and I don't really feel comfortable living him with sitters. I do however have two wonderful "built-in-baby-sitters" as some people have called them; my daughter, Kattie who is 19 and my son, RJ who is 16. The problem with the idea that your teenagers would ever be around to babysit is that they are old enough to have a life of their own and are NOT around to baby sit. Not quite built in now is it.
That is fine by me though a two year old needs his Mommy and Daddy and Davey is thriving! I will have to say he is really makes me wonder sometimes where he comes up with some of the stuff that he does or says. He has a serious imagination!
Just the other day in the tub he was playing with his boats and he said Aye Aye Captain!
My other son RJ is very talented. He can play the guitar and has been playing for Davey since Davey was born. RJ loves Rock'n Roll. What teenage boy doesn't? This has made Davey a HUGE music fan. RJ bought Davey a ukulele, (and I had to google that word to make sure I spelled it right!) This is a perfect size guitar for a two year old boy. Dad did have to gorilla glue the neck back on after Davey gave a smashing performance.
But Davey strums that ukulele like he was meant to do it. Moving his leg and rocking back and forth along with the beat. Just turn on the radio or a music video and Davey runs for his guitar yelling "GUITAR, ROCK'N ROLL" the whole way.
Kattie my daughter was always doing crazy things too. When she was about four she made her first snow man all by her self. (OK it was a bit lumpy and looked like a huge snow square with a blob of snow on top of it) But it had sticks for arms and some not so well placed rocks for eyes. "I said to her Oh Kattie what a nice snow man!" She told me with her hand on her hip that it was not a snow MAN it was a "SNOW WOMAN!"
Now she is in her first year of college, man where has the time gone? I just don't party like I used to. I hate having to listen to a two year old scream for chocolate milk first thing in the morning with a hang over! So I am a light weight, so what! I used to dance and party all night long, but I am just to tired now to do it! hehe Maybe someday...

Thousands of Americans are on the same boat, with many of them carrying huge debt significant. It doesn't matter how much money you initiate.

otherwise. As soon as you set foot with the auto mechanic in Brandon FL,
discover how the mechanics and other staff treat you. Indeed, there
always be some mechanic guys that will look recorded on you, convinced
that you don't a thing about car repair. If get experienced any signs of

love seeing overweight people go to your gym and then climb perfect car,

trips and services training.

How would I create a choice list that displays email and fullname on same line?
How would I create a choice list that displays email and fullname on same line?
Hello Tony,
here is my solution (but not supported from IBM!):
I change the key from record-type users.
This change you can direct in the database (table: m_unique_key_def) only!
Best regards,
In a case like this, I would step back and ask why you wish to display both in a choice list.
A better approach would be to have separate fields for the full name and email. When a full name is selected from the choice list, activate a hook to populate the user's email address in the email address field.
Presentation of this data in query results will be neater.
My few cents-
You may think of writing a hook code/script which can get values of fullname and email. Then concatenate these two strings and push them into the ChoiceList. I feel it is possible, but I have not tried this approach.

> Joe
It's been ten years since Joe hit the music scene with his debut album, Everything. Over the past decade, the singer, songwriter and producer has gained multiple Grammy nominations and has written and produced songs for artists such as Chico DeBarge, Barry White and Tina Turner, The BackStreet Boys and Mariah Carey, to name a few. And with his latest release And Then..., set for release December 16th, it doesn't appear that Joe plans on slowing down anytime soon.
The son of two preachers, music played an important role in Joe's life early on. As a musician and singer of his parents' church, the Georgia native's early musical influences include gospel greats such as The Winans, Commissioned and Vanessa Bell Armstrong (with whom he'd later also work with). He eventually discovered secular acts like Bobby Brown and Keith Sweat and after playing in local bands, set his sites on a career in music. After graduating high school, Joe bought a one-way ticket to New York to pursue his dream. His melodic and instrument-playing skills would serve him well it enabled him to produce his own three-song demo, which eventually lead to a label deal and the 1993 release of Everything.
Between 1997 and 2002, Joe would release three more albums. All That I Am (1997), his debut for Jive, and Better Days (2002) sold well, but it was 2000's My Name Is Joe that catapulted his career to new heights. The album debuted at number-two on the Billboard Top 200 and the singles "I Wanna Know" and the remix for "Stutter" featuring Mystikal both went to the top five on the singles chart (number-one and number-four, respectively).
Though the release of Better Days was met with decent sales, it didn't compare to My Name Is Joe. "It did fairly good numbers, but I came off of selling three million records with My Name Is Joe." Every artist knows the fickle side of the industry, but only a few can weather the storm. It's Joe's love for creating music that gets him through the downswings of the business. "I just stay in on course and continue to work. Music has to continue to inspire and . I can't stop. It's important to me to make my voice and my music heard and felt passionately."
After taking time to reflect on life's heavier issues, And Then... allows Joe to get back to the subject he knows best-love. His latest release is perhaps his most sensual and passionate yet. "I've always had a few songs that sort of went in that direction," he explains, "but this album just takes you there with no hesitation. I just really wanted to keep the album fun, not too serious." The title track is a play-by-play plan for his next sexual escapade set to a mellow groove. But Joe has many clever ways to talk about the same subject. The song "Priceless" pays homage to the perfect woman; "You Dropped Your Dime" is a cautionary tale what happens if you neglect your lady (Joe is happy to step in) and "Jeep" is an inviting tale of a day of shopping at the mall followed by a little back seat bump and grind. "It Ain't Like That" deals with unjust accusations of infidelity and "Another Used to Be" celebrates hopes for a new relationship.
The disc's lead single, "More and More," was written and produced by R. Kelly. With two incredibly talented musicians, the results are explosive. The record is incredible, its simple verses are powerful. It's a good record." Joe has incredible admiration for his labelmate. "Kelly's a beast. He continues to show how talented he is. That's inspiring." The project include producers Shakespeare and Carvin and Ivan (known for their work with Musiq). And Then... is dominated by lush, incredibly produced ballads and slow-tempo tracks, an element in which Joe feels most comfortable. "I like to sing ballads more than up-tempos. You kind of showcase yourself as an R&B singer a lot better. The words are out in front as opposed to the track being the most important part. With a ballad I can really display that." Still, tracks like "Street Dreams" and "Ride Wit U" featuring G-Unit offers the head-nodding club cuts every R&B album needs.
As long as Joe has been making music, the journey continues to be exciting for him. "Music has always been a part of my life. But it's growing. It's becoming more in tune with me as an artist and where I stand and what I'm trying to do. The understanding is becoming so clear, so that's the enjoyment in what I do." And with his latest project, Joe hopes music fans can hear that growth as well. "The album is for my fans and to give them quality music every time. That's my main goal."
With ten years in the business under his belt and still going strong. Joe is back.

Set up Grindstone. Press Nose Against It. Repeatedly.Today, I finally got the editoral direction from Harper Collins on the YA I'm writing for them. I'm really excited with how my editor tweaked my idea, and I think it's going to be a great story. Yay!!! The only problem? It's due January 15.
Yep, January 15.
As in, less than a month away.
As in, I have my two page outline and my editor's two page email and that's it. No other notes or idea on this story. I can't start writing today. Or even tomorrow. Or probably even Sunday. I need to spend those days working on the story and characters before I can even think about writing. Which gives me even fewer days to write.
As in, I'm going to be spending two weeks with relatives over the holidays, relatives who don't think it's too polite for me to be hiding at my computer when I'm supposed to be socializing, relatives who live on the other side of the country who I really want to hang out with because I never see them! I guess I won't have time to help clean up after dinner... ah, the choices we must make as dedicated writers!
Yep, it is SO time to set up that grindstone and get to work.
But, on the plus side, I turned in MUST LOVE DRAGONS to my agent for a read thru, so at least that's out of my hair for the moment. That was a HUGE relief!!!!!!!!! PHEW!
And now, off to brainstorm...

PursesNovember 21, 2006
Rian has challenged us to display the contents of our purses; "If you're willing to play the game, let's see your purses, ladies".
I'm game, but I'm afraid everyone is going to fall asleep with this one. If you need a nap, read on!
My purse really isn't even a purse. It is a planner, disguised as a purse.
What sold me on it was the cool little cell phone pocket on the front. Since I don't have to scrounge around the bottom of a purse I am actually able to answer the phone before it stops ringing.
Inside are the usual things, cards, driver's license, and the planner and pen.
There is another zippered section in the back that holds checkbook, coin purse and more cards.
Viola! That's it. No skeletons in my purse!!

My counter tops are solid surface.
Last year I had gotten a cleaner from Lowe's that made
them shine. Then you might know it, they stop carrying it.
So I purchased Magic that had they offered for my surface.
Big mistake, turned my counter tops were dull. I believed
this stuff stripped the finish off. Every time I went in Lowe's
I would look for something else.
and headed to the back to the counter tops. Found the solid surface
samples and asked the sales guy if he had a rag. The look he gave me
was priceless. Then I explain what happen with the Magic and
I wanted to try this polish before spending more money.
The granite polish have other surfaces listed you could
use it on and to my surprise, it worked !

- Share with us two (2) 'teaser' sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
- You also need to share the title and author of the book that you're getting your 'teaser' from .. that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you've given!
Doubtless you know of the huge memorial Victoria had built for her beloved consort, Prince Albert. It is the jewel in the crown of Kensington Gardens - a monument to the Queen's refined taste as well as to the Departed.An old dowager gets up steam in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows - our book group(!) book of the month. The book takes the form of a set of letters written shortly after WWII and reflecting on the Nazi occupation of the Channel Islands.
Yes, this should have been posted yesterday but it kept slipping my mind!

Although it has been in place since the end of 2010, the Affordable Care Act is still evolving and seniors have many questions about how it affects their lives.
What is the Affordable Care Act?
Also known as "Obamacare", the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is an overhaul of the health care insurance system in the United States designed to bring affordable coverage to the 45 million people who currently do not have insurance. In addition to revamping the insurance system, the ACA also included an increase in coverage for Medicaid which is designed to offer insurance to the working poor in the country.
How does the Affordable Care Act Work for Seniors over 70?
The Affordable Care Act for seniors over 70 years old affects them in an indirect way. Specifically, Medicare is the primary insurance for seniors who have reached the age of 65 and Medicaid is designed to help cover those whose income is below a pre-determined amount.
This means that you will not see any direct results of the Affordable Care Act elderly patients who need medical, prescription medication, or other health insurance coverage. However, there are some benefits that the ACA provides for seniors.
- Strengthens Fraud Protection for Medicare
- Safeguards the Medicare Trust Fund
- Stronger Preventative Care for Seniors without Co-Pay
- Medicare Benefits Remain Untouched
- Closes the "Doughnut Hole"
The doughnut hole was a gap in Medicare prescription medication coverage that was closed by the ACA. This means that seniors will get the financial support needed to cover their prescription medication expenses no matter their income levels.
Overall, while the effect of the Affordable Care Act seniors may not see directly, there are some powerful, indirect benefits that are working today to protect the elderly thanks to the passing of the ACA.
Affordable Care Act Myths and Facts:
There are a few myths and facts about the Affordable Care Act that seniors should be aware of when considering the totality of this legislation.
The ACA Robs the Medicare Trust Fund: That is simply not true as the money is still available in Medicare just as it was before the passing of the ACA.
The ACA Benefits Seniors: While the benefits are mostly of an indirect nature that you may not see on a day to day basis, the truth is that the ACA is helping out seniors with affordable preventative care with no co-pay and closes up the area of non-coverage for prescription medication.
The ACA Hurts Seniors: The truth is that the Affordable Care Act provides the type of security needed to support programs such as Medicare and Medicaid which work to cover seniors on a daily basis.
While the ACA does not provide life insurance to seniors over 70, it does provide a solid foundation that seniors can rely upon for their medical needs. This is why it is important for seniors to fully understand what the ACA is and how it affects them when it comes to getting the right prescription medications and paying less for preventative care that leads to longer, healthier lives.

Gelzinis: Boston's new top cop has persevered
Credit: Arthur Pollock
For three-quarters of his adult life, Billy Evans has been a cop. And not just a cop, but one tough enough and wise enough to complete the journey from Boston police cadet to Boston police Commissioner.
And yet the phrase he kept falling back on yesterday over breakfast was, "But for the grace of God …"
He used it to preface a personal story worthy of Dickens. Death claimed his mother when he was 3. At 14, his father died. He lost a brother who was struck and killed by a car.
