International Journal of Psychology This book offers an extensive critique of individualism in psychology, a view that has been the subject of debate between philosophers such as Jerry Fodor and Tyler Burge for many years. Rob Wilson approaches individualism as an issue in the philosophy of science, and by discussing issues such as computationalism and the mind's modularity, he opens the subject up for non-philosophers in psychology and computer science.

B0000CDUXB | D.O.A. (1950)
| A faceless figure marches down an endless hallway as dark, driving music underscores his doom. It's stocky, stalwart Edmond O'Brien, who plows through the police detective's office like he's got nothing to lose. "I want to report a murder," he demands, grim and sleepy-eyed. Who was killed? "I was." It's a brilliant opening to a memorable film noir classic. O'Brien is a CPA who flees his dull job and small California town for a wild weekend in San Francisco, only to be poisoned and doomed to certain death. With only days to live, his incredulity morphs into a searing drive to find his killers and stinging regrets for what might have been. O'Brien is a familiar noir face, but he usually plays figures of authority: a cop in White Heat; an investigator in The Killers. He's a little stiff here, but his blunt, unglamorous persona is perfect for the Everyman who is randomly visited by death. Rudolph Mat, a cinematographer turned director, moves from sun-bright day scenes to busy nighttime locations with few visual flourishes, but when he takes the camera into the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco the film is energized with a gritty, restless vigor. It's one of the most relentlessly dark films noir ever made--taut, edgy, and low budget. Watch for the Bradbury building in the film's climax, made famous by its memorable use decades later in the sci-fi noir classic Blade Runner. --Sean Axmaker "The Roan Group, consistently responsible for some of the best-looking DVD editions" -- The New York Times | [

B0000CDUXJ | Blood on the Sun (1950)
| Cagney is a crusading newspaper editor in 1930s Japan who's come into possession of the "Tanaka Plan" for world domination. Amidst political intrigue and crossed loyalties, Cagney must now find a way to warn the outside world. A fine, entertaining melodrama that's based in fact, with Cagney as good as ever, but this time with judo chops. If only the Japanese knew some kind of hand-to-hand combat, they might be able to stand a chance against Cagney. Dated only by its condescension toward the Japanese, Blood on the Sun never slacks its pace, providing quick-witted patter all along in the mark of the classic Hollywood style. It seems peculiarly American (in an inadvertent way, of course) that in the film's final moments the day should be saved by none other than Ward Cleaver (Hugh Beaumont). Curiously, this is one DVD from Master Movies that does not contain optional Japanese subtitles. It does, however, have copious bios of the stars and filmmakers, and a crystal-clear picture. --Jim Gay | [

038572943X | The Center of the World
| Grade 9 UpPhil, 17, and his twin, Dianne, live at Visible, a decrepit Gothic mansion in a tiny, provincial German town. Their mother, Glass, 34, is unwed, promiscuous, and self-involved, and she doesn't give a damn about what anyone thinks of her or her children. Dianne is withdrawn and secretive, and communicates better with animals than with people. Unapologetically gay, Phil worries about everyone else's dramas and drives. He daydreams about his American father, of whom Glass refuses to speak. He's too passive to approach gorgeous Nicholas, so he's thrilled when the other boy takes the lead. They meet often for wordless sex, but Phil craves intimacy. When he includes his feisty friend, Katja, in their shenanigans, jealousy and betrayal ensue. Phil's narrative shifts from even, detached present-tense action to minute recollections of, seemingly, every day since his birth. Steinhfel's female characters are vivid and fascinating, as is Phil when featured in the endless stories he tells about them. Nicholas, however, is so shallow and flatly drawn that it calls Phil's own depth into question. The author has an expert feel for setting, and Visible and its jungle gardens are lushly rendered. While the mysterious mood holds interest, the lulling pace, repetitive detail, and intrusive time shifts derail the plot. Phil's arc from self-pitying bystander to active participant in his own drama is anticlimactic, considering the length of his confessional. Enthusiastic, sophisticated readers, if patient, will be kidnapped by the lyrical, literate prose.Johanna Lewis, New York Public Library Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. *Starred Review* Gr. 10-12. Growing up on the edge of a small provincial German town, Phil, 17, knows he is gay, and that his free-spirited mother totally accepts him. All his life he has dreamed of finding the American father who walked out on Mom. Phil loves the gorgeous athlete Nicholas, and they have great sex, but Nicholas is afraid to come out in their conservative community, which regards Phil's mother as a whore and Phil and his twin sister as the "witch's children." Then Phil makes a shocking discovery that helps him grow up and confront truth and lies about family, friends, and lovers. Weaving together Phil's past and present, this long novel, a prizewinner in Germany, is not a quick read. But Jaffa's translation is clear and immediate, and the funny, aching first-person narrative will keep many teens enthralled with the story about secrets and betrayal. As in the best writing, the surprises that seem shocking are revealed as natural parts of character and story, and they raise questions about passion, sex, and intimacy. What does Phil deny about his best friend? Why can't his twin sister speak to Mom? Always leaving space for what is not said, tension builds to the very last page. Hazel RochmanCopyright American Library Association. All rights reserved Andreas Steinhfel gathers up all preconceived notions of the crossover novel and smashes them to smithereens. As compelling and full of life as a beating heart.Meg Rosoff, winner of the Michael L. Printz Award for How I Live NowFrom the Paperback edition. Andreas Steinhfel is the author of numerous award-winning books for children and young adults. He lives in Berlin, Germany. I never even saw most of the men Glass had affairs with. They used to come to Visible late at night, when Dianne and I were fast asleep. Then doors would slam and unknown voices would penetrate our dreams. In the morning we used to find telltale signs of their existence: a warm mug of hastily gulped coffee abandoned on the kitchen table; a toothbrush wrapper in the bathroom, crumpled carelessly and dropped on the floor. Sometimes it was no more than a sleepy aroma hanging in the air like a strange shadow.Once it was the telephones. Dianne and I had spent the weekend with Tereza, and when we got home, there were the phones in our bedrooms, connected to newly laid cables, and the plaster still damp on the walls. Glass had pulled an electrician.Now each of us has our own phone, she stated smugly, with Dianne on her left arm and me on her right. Isnt that fantastic? Dont you think its terribly American?Im sprawled on my bed when the telephone rings. The July heat has wiped me out--even at night it crawls through the rooms and passages like a tired animal, looking for a place to bed down. I know who it is--Ive been waiting for this call for the past three weeks. Kat (her name is Katja, but apart from her parents and some of the teachers, no one calls her by her full name) is back from holiday.Im back again, Phil, she shrieks down the line.Sounds like it. How was it?A nightmare, and stop grinning, I can tell you are! Im suffering from parental abuse, and that island was the absolute pits, you cant imagine. I want to see you.I look at my watch. In half an hour on the castle hill?Id have died if youd said no.Join the club. Ive been bored out of my mind the last three weeks.Listen, I need a bit, longer--about an hour? Ive got to unpack.No problem.Cant wait to see you. . . . Phil?Mm?I missed you.Didnt miss you.Thought so. Asshole!I put down the phone and stay lying on my back, blinking at the blinding white ceiling for the next quarter of an hour. The scent of cypress comes wafting in waves on the summer breeze through the open windows. I roll over and get out of the sweaty bed, grab boxer shorts and T-shirt, and pad along the creaking floorboards in the passage to the shower.I hate the bathroom on this floor of the house. The door frame is so warped, you have to lean against the door with all your weight to get it open. Inside, youre met with broken black and white tiles, cracks in the ceiling, and flaking plaster. The antiquated plumbing takes three minutes before the water finally comes through. In the winter, the rusty boiler connected to it comes to life only after youve given it several hefty kicks. I turn on the tap, hear the familiar wheezing of the system, and once again regret that Glass never got involved with a plumber.For the sake of the plumbing? she asked in astonishment when I once suggested how practical such a relationship could be. What dyou take me for, darling--a hooker?Visibles architect must have been just as crazy as my aunt Stella, who discovered the house, already then in an advanced state of disrepair, a quarter of a century ago while on a trip to Europe. She fell in love with its southern charm, quite uncharacteristic of this part of the world, and promptly bought it. For peanuts, my little chick, she proudly wrote to Glass in America. Ive even got some money left over for the essential repairs!Stella was financially independent. Hers had been the classic career path of the American high school beauty, not thinking about the future until it was almost over and done with--early marriage, early divorce, overdue but relatively generous alimony payments. The money wasnt enough for Stella to live in great style, but it allowed for a life more or less free of financial worries. It was enough to buy Visible.Surrounded by an extensive plot of land, Stella wrote, the house stood on a hill overlooking the edge of a tiny town on the other side of the river. The two-story faade with its colonnaded porch, the tiny bay windows and the tall casement windows, the innumerable gables and the battlemented roof were visible for all to see from a distance of miles. Seeking to give it an appropriately American name, she quite logically called the entire estate--the house, with its outhouses and garden sheds at the rear, as well as the huge garden bordering the wood, where life-sized statues of discolored sandstone stood about like lost souls--by the name Visible. It soon became evident that the money left over from the purchase was barely enough to cover the merest fraction of the renovation costs. The masonry was crumbling, the roof leaked in several places, and the garden was a jungle.In its dilapidated state, Visible seems to be waiting and dreaming of better times, wrote Stella in one of her increasingly rare letters to Boston. And the residents of the town seem to be waiting too. They dont like this house. The tall windows scare them. And dyou know why, little one? Because you only have to see these windows from afar to know and feel they call for a broader view of the world.I grew up with photos of Stella, countless snaps that Glass had dug out from her sisters papers a few months after her death and put up all around the house. They are everywhere: in the dark entrance hall, up the staircase, in almost every room. In their cheap frames they hang there like kitschy religious images, propped up on wobbly chests of drawers and tables, crowding on windowsills and window seats.My favorite portrait of Stella shows her angular suntanned face. She had large, clear eyes and a lot of laugh lines. Its the only photo where my aunt looks soft and vulnerable. All the other pictures show a mixture of childish defiance and stormy provocation. These make Stella look like glowing steel tempered in fire.Three days before Glass arrived at Visible, my aunt Stellas broad view on the world proved her undoing. She was cleaning the windows on the second floor when she fell to the drive below, where the postman found her next day. With her head resting on one arm and her legs slightly drawn up, she looked as if she was asleep. She had broken her neck. Later Glass found the cable she herself had wired from on board ship, and the draft of a reply her older, only sister had been unable to send. Baby, looking forward to you and your offspring. Love, Stella.Stellas death affected Glass deeply. She had idolized her sister, even after she had left America. Their mother had died young of the Big C, as Glass put it, and their father had shown more interest in alcohol than in the fate of his daughters. The fact that both of them disappeared to Europe was met with drunken indifference. No one knew what had become of him. Once when I asked Glass about my grandfather, her curt reply was that the continent of America had swallowed him, and she hoped it would not spew him up again. After her initial mourning over Stella, she adopted a pragmatic attitude to her death. One of her favorite sayings was As one door closes, another opens. | [

| Classically styled and shining with polished style, this silver-tone Invicta Men's Pro Diver OC stainless steel men's watch is a great match for professional wear as well as your scuba diving adventures. It features water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet)--suitable for recreational diving--and it's topped by a unidirectional rotating bezel with elapsed time markings and scalloped edges for a firm grip even with diving gloves. The stainless steel watch case and bracelet band feature a highly polished finish. The copper dial is complemented by Tritnite luminous dotted markers and hands (with seconds hand), small minute indexes, and a date window at 3 o'clock with a magnifier. Other features include an anti-reflective mineral crystal, Swiss quartz movement, and a screw-down case back.Pro Diver Collection Plunge into any horizon using the steadfast guidance of the Invicta Pro Diver. Stylishly classic, internal workings are forged with variations of either Swiss chronograph or 21-jewel automatic movements and willingly navigate in depths up to 300 meters. Built with confident prowess, the fortitude with which these timepieces function makes the Pro Diver the quintessential in performance. Screw Down Crowns: Many Invicta watches are equipped with a screw down crown to help prevent water infiltration. This is most common on our Diver models. In order to adjust the date and/or time on such a watch, you must first unscrew the crown before you can gently pull it out to its first or second click stop position. To do this, simply rotate the crown counterclockwise until it springs open. When you have finished setting the watch, the crown must then be pushed in and screwed back in tightly. Not doing so will cancel the water resistance of the watch and will void all warranties from the manufacturer. Overall, this process should not require a lot of effort or force. With its most inspired creations yet, Invicta demonstrates its technical and design prowess, offering timepieces of style for extreme value."We have long held firm to the belief that supremely crafted timepieces can be offered for extremely modest sums. It is the founding principle of our flagship and the radical notion that still drives us today. By being true to our convictions, we will continue to turn the balance of power, and deliver true Swiss luxury to anyone who desires it. Let all those who possess our timepieces and pass through our doors witness the quality, value and care in every piece we create, and the spirit of never-ending possibilities in everything we do."These are the words that greet visitors and motivate team members inside the Invicta Watch Group's new worldwide headquarters. Emblazoned in stainless steel, it has been the Invicta message since Day One. With each new timepiece, the company sends up a flare for those looking to be defined not by how much they spend, but how wisely they spend. With its strong collections, the gutsy Swiss brand is guaranteed to keep attracting followers. The art of the craft. Inside an Invicta WorkshopIt takes years of training and a great deal of pride to achieve glorious Swiss timepieces by hand. But it takes guts and the courage of your convictions to make those timepieces affordable for everyone who appreciates them. At our Swiss workshops, we mix time-honored traditions with a little bit of horse sense every single day to produce the greatest values in the watch-making world. | [

B000065KBM | Lost Souls [VHS] (2000)
| Lost Souls is certainly one of the most gorgeous-looking movies to come out in 2000. The cinematography has a striking, visual texture reminiscent of old photographs, all the color bleeding out into rich and evocative shades of grey and black. The movie doesn't quite live up to its look, though it's not without its pleasures. The broader outlines of its story--about a true-crime writer (Ben Chaplin) who discovers, through the efforts of a former victim of possession (Winona Ryder), that he's about to become the Antichrist--lack any surprises or ingenuity. But individual scenes are largely well-written, spookily directed, and acted with commitment and intensity. Chaplin is particularly good, Ryder does her best, and a crew of superb character actors (including John Hurt, Elias Koteas, and Philip Baker Hall) flesh out the skeletally scripted supporting characters with skill and intelligence. Some of the special effects go a little overboard, but the movie is surprisingly free of the cheesy, demonic posturing and portentous speeches that afflict too many religious thrillers. Fans of The Exorcist or The Omen may find Lost Souls to be a modest but flavorful variation on the "devil-is-coming-to-get-you" genre. --Bret Fetzer | [

0140507361 | The Dinosaur Who Lived in My Backyard (Picture Puffins)
| About midway into this story, what has appeared to be a young boy's wishful thinking becomes a smooth piece of nonfiction, charmingly packed with facts by Hennessy. The narrator tells how the dinosaur hatched, how large it grew and how much it weighed, in scenes that are part of his backyard. But soon the backgrounds change, and the dinosaur becomes part of the past, playing with the other species now extinct, on land that only millions of years later would become this child's neighborhood. Davis, illustrator of When Daddy Comes Home and Waiting for Mom, adds an appealing number of odd perspectives in what is becoming her characteristic souped-up pastels: a dinosaur foot next to a sandbox; a dinosaur jumping into the air, much larger than the house behind it; the boy and his sister, with a bushel- and wagonfull of lima beans, hoping for the dinosaur's return. Ages 3-8. Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. B.G. Hennessy is the author of Road Builders and The First Night (both Viking and Puffin). She lives in Paradise Valley, Arizona.

0399133046 | The Killing House
| When Special Air Services Capt. Timothy Bell guns down two captive Irish terrorists in cold blood, the elite British commando group fears it has blood on its hands. So, it washes them by firing Bell. Embittered and on his uppers, the ex-SAS man persuades a left-leaning plutocrat allied with radical Palestinians to bankroll the hijacking of pro-Israeli bigwigs at a banquet to be held at a posh restaurant in New York's World Trade Center. The troops enlisted to carry out this endeavor are the neo-fascist Anglo-Saxon Brethren. Rivers, whose most recent thriller, The Specialist, concerned counterterrorist operations, has here produced a fairly typical specimen of the paranoid terrorist novel. In addition to grappling with the various, implausible political factions involved in the plot, the reader suffers confused sympathies: Should we empathize with Bell, the put-upon ex-hero who has now turned into a heartless killing machine, or with the somewhat inept forces of law and order? The author's intentions are unclear. Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. | [

0300104685 | The Siege of Budapest: 100 Days in World War II
| This book provides the first acceptable assessment and analysis of the siege of Budapest, a monumental confrontation during the Second World War. Krisztin Ungvry makes use of a wealth of fresh historical evidence locked until recently in the secret archives of Russia and eastern Germany. He draws on the diaries and personal recollection of survivors, both civilian and soldiers . . . most of whom have never got over their experience. The result is excellent scholarship and gripping reading. . . . [It] deserves to be widely read.Thomas Land, Times Literary SupplementThe Siege of Budapest is an important and exciting contribution to World War II history. The siege was a crucial event in the final year of the war. No other European capital--apart from Berlin and Warsaw--suffered a similar fate. It is a source of endless horror as well as fascination to read about how more than 800,000 civilians, including well over 100,000 Jews in a ghetto or in hiding, coped while German and Red Army soldiers engaged in hand-to-hand combat in the very buildings they inhabited.--Istvn Dek, Columbia UniversityExcellent scholarship and [a] gripping read. (Thomas Orszg-Land The Jerusalem Report ) This definitive history of one of the fiercest battles of World War II describes the siege of Budapest in unprecedented detail. Both Stalin and Hitler demanded victory at all costs, and the cost was extreme: 80,000 Soviet troops, 38,000 German and Hungarian soldiers, and 38,000 Hungarian civilians perished. The book provides the first full account of this shocking battle. Krisztin Ungvry is a research fellow at the Institute for the History of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.

1580082653 | Dinosaur Bar-B-Que: An American Roadhouse
| Dinosaur Bar-B-Que kicked into gear in 1983 when John Stage, a Harley-loving biker with a taste for barbecue, took to the road cooking sandwiches on a sawed-in-half 55-gallon drum at "biker gigs" up and down the East Coast. Stage sampled world-class barbecue in Virginia, Texas, North Carolina, and Memphis, soaking up "the Southern barbecue vibe" (and picking up Creole, Asian, and Cuban influences along the way) before setting up shop in Syracuse, New York, in 1988.

] | Dinosaur Bar-B-Que: An American Roadhouse
Dinosaur Bar-B-Que kicked into gear in 1983 when John Stage, a Harley-loving biker with a taste for barbecue, took to the road cooking sandwiches on a sawed-in-half 55-gallon drum at "biker gigs" up and down the East Coast. Stage sampled world-class barbecue in Virginia, Texas, North Carolina, and Memphis, soaking up "the Southern barbecue vibe" (and picking up Creole, Asian, and Cuban influences along the way) before setting up shop in Syracuse, New York, in 1988. Dinosaur Bar-B-Que: An American Roadhouse captures the reach-out-and-taste-it smell of slow-cooked barbecue that hits you two blocks away from the "genuine honky-tonk rib joint," where outfront a row of gleaming Harleys stand at attention and inside a sassy, ready-to-bust-your-chops wait staff cuts through the eclectic crowd of bikers, students, suits, and blues lovers (there's live music almost nightly), serving up half-racks of Dinosaur-Style Ribs, Texas Beef Brisket, and Honey Hush Corn Bread.

1891620401 | Black Mass: The Irish Mob, The FBI and A Devil's Deal
| In the spring of 1988, Boston Globe reporters Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill set out to write the story of two infamous brothers from the insular Irish enclave of South Boston: Jim "Whitey" Bulger and his younger brother Billy. Whitey was the city's most powerful gangster and a living legend--tough, cunning, without conscience, and above all, smart. Billy, president of the state Senate, was a political heavyweight in Massachusetts. These facts alone make for an intriguing story, but as Lehr and O'Neill found out, this was only the beginning. John Connolly, a rising FBI agent and fellow "Southie," had known the Bulgers since boyhood when Whitey rescued him from a playground fight. After investigating organized crime in New York, Connolly was reassigned to the bureau's Boston office in 1975, and was determined to make a name for himself by relying on his old connections. He succeeded in a big way by lining up Whitey as an FBI informant in an effort to bring down the Italian Mafia--a major coup for both the FBI and Connolly. In exchange, Bulger received protection. Though heavily involved in extortion, intimidation, assassination, and drug trafficking, Connolly's "good bad guy" did not receive so much as a traffic infraction for over 20 years. In time, however, the deal changed, and information began flowing the other direction, with Bulger manipulating Connolly and a small group of corrupt FBI agents to further his nefarious network. The criminals and the lawmen eventually became virtually indistinguishable. Black Mass expertly details the twists and turns of this complex story, painting a vivid portrait of Boston's underbelly and its inclusive political machine, as well as exposing one of the worst scandals in FBI history. It's also an examination of loyalty--to family, home, and heritage--and "a cautionary tale about the abuse of power that goes unchecked." As a final favor, Connolly tipped off Bulger that he was to be indicted on racketeering charges in 1995, allowing him time to go on the lam (he's reported to have access to secret bank accounts across the country). He was added to the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted List" in 1999. --Sharon M. Brown A triumph of investigative reporting, this full-bodied true-crime saga by two Boston Globe reporters is a cautionary tale about FBI corruption and the abuse of power. Gangster James "Whitey" Bulger ruled Boston's Irish mob, and his wary collaboration with the Italian Mafia, which he detested, was the cornerstone of the city's balkanized criminal underworld. (His younger brother, Billy Bulger, was the iron-fisted president of the state senate and later president of the University of Massachusetts.) Few suspected that Whitey Bulger and his partner, crime boss Stevie Flemmi, were both FBI informants; their squealing helped the FBI to put a score of mobsters in jail and wipe out the Angiulo crime family. Here O'Neill and Lehr (Pulitzer winner and Pulitzer finalist, respectively, and coauthors of The Underboss: The Rise and Fall of a Mafia Family) maintain that overzealous FBI Agent John Connolly, who was Whitey's handler, and Agent John Morris, Flemmi's handler, "coddled, conspired and protected the mobsters in a way that for all practical purposes had given them a license to kill." FBI agents looked the other way while Bulger and Flemmi went on a 1980s crime spree that, according to witnesses, included extortion, bank robberies, drug trafficking and a string of unsolved murders. This complex, dramatic tale climaxes with a 1998 federal hearing that found that Connolly and Morris had essentially fictionalized FBI internal records to downplay the stoolies' crimes while overstating their value to the Bureau. In 1999, a grand jury probe launched by Attorney General Janet Reno led to Connolly's arrest on charges of racketeering and obstruction of justice (he's now out on bail). Also named in the indictment were Flemmi, already arrested by state police in 1995, and Bulger, now a fugitive on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List. This in-depth look at the FBI's war against the Mafia includes the first-ever secret recording of a Mafia induction ceremony, complete with pricking of fingers and blood oaths. (June) Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc. Lehr and O'Neill, an editor and reporter, respectively, at the Boston Globe, have worked closely on many pieces of investigative journalism as well as on their 1989 book, The Underboss: The Rise and Fall of a Mafia Family. Their new book is another work of crime reporting, this time centering on FBI agent John Connolly's acquiring the legendary Irish gangster James "Whitey" Bulger as an informant in 1975 and some of the more regrettable consequences of their collaboration. In a highly detailed text, complete with an extensive notes section, the authors vividly capture the turbulent culture and conflicting loyalties of the Boston underworld. This is essential for Boston-area libraries because of its local focus, but elsewhere it will be of interest only to libraries with extensive criminal justice collections elsewhere in the country. [Whitey Bulger is still at large and high on the FBI's "10 Most Wanted" list.DEd.]DCharlie Cowling, SUNY at Brockport Lib.-DCharlie Cowling, SUNY at Brockport Lib. Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc. An eye-opening true-crimer that recounts a cooperative arrangement in which two Boston mobsters, in exchange for acting as informants for an FBI agent and his supervisor, were permitted to take over most of Boston's organized crime.Boston Globe reporters Lehr and O'Neill can be forgiven some of their caustic bitterness in their second book about Boston's organized crime. Their first, The Underboss (1989, not reviewed), portrayed FBI Agent John J. Connolly Jr. as a sharp-dressing South Boston scrapper whose audacious bugging of a Mafia headquarters ended the Italian mob's control of Boston street crime. Unknown to the reporters, Connolly and his boss, Dick Morris, were relying on information about the Italians from James Whitey Bulger, an Irish Southie street punk with a penchant for rape and robbery who was also the older brother of rising political star William Bulger (who would go on to become president of the Massachusetts Senate, is currently president of Massachusetts State University, and has maintained that he has no involvement with his brother's criminal life). In 1975 Connolly recruited Whitey and fellow hood Steve Flammi. Connolly and Morris then shielded their informants from a federal racetrack-fixing indictment; in return, Whitey fingered competing crooks and possibly saved the life of an undercover FBI agent who had infiltrated a truck-hijacking ring. For the next two decades the FBI made many publicized arrests while Whitey Bulger reigned as Boston's organized crime boss until 1995, when he escaped arrest and has been missing ever since. In a sensational 1999 corruption investigation, the disgraced Morris admitted to taking bribes from Whitey and, with Connolly's alleged assistance, aided and abetted criminal activities involving narcotics, extortion, and murder. Connolly, now a lobbyist currently awaiting trial on this matter, has maintained his innocence.With enough unanswered questions for two sequels, the authors offer a pile of evidence that (in South Boston at least) politics is all too local.

"More than an expos on the abuses of power, Black Mass tells of the shameful betrayal of all things decent by two of our own native sons who climbed the ranks of both the underworld and the FBI. The good qualities of loyalty and pride that we were raised on in Southie, were manipulated and perverted for their own gain as they promoted a culture of drugs, denial, and death on our streets. Lehr and O'Neill give us all the details with a journalistic precision that does not sacrifice the power of the story. After reading Black Mass, you might wonder if any of us really knows who are the good guys and who are the bad guys." -- Michael Patrick MacDonald, author of All Souls: A Family Story from SouthieIt is at once a uniquely Boston tale about Italian-Irish rivalries in organized crime, law enforcement and politics, and a parable of what happens when law enforcement officers get too close to their informers. -- The New York Times Book Review, Alan M. DershowitzThis is a heartbreaking and enraging story of corruption and crime, but it has its heroes, especially Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill. These reporters were among the first to shine light on the shadowy collusion of heinous murderers and an FBI cut loose from its moral center. Now, with this powerful book, Lehr and O'Neill bring the whole story into the open. Black Mass is a work of rare lucidity, high drama, journalistic integrity, and plain courage." -- James Carroll, author of An American Requiem and Boston Globe columnist Gerard O'Neill is the editor of the Boston Globe's Spotlight Team, one of the nation's top investigative reporting units. He started at the Globe in 1966, and has won a Pulitzer Prize, been a Pulitzer finalist, won the Hancock Award, the Loeb Award, and many others. Dick Lehr joined the Boston Globe in 1985. Lehr has also been a Pulitzer Finalist, and he too has won the Hancock and Loeb awards, among others. O'Neill and Lehr are the authors of The Underboss: The Rise and Fall of a Mafia Family. The men stepped into the house carrying a brown-paper bag, and Stephen followed them into the kitchen of him home. Bulger and Flemmi sat down. Weeks stayed on his feet nearby. Bulger was in charge. "We're going to buy your store," he announced firmly. Rakes fidgeted. "It's not for sale," he replied. It was the last peep of protest Stephen Rakes would make. His little girl had wandered into the kitchen, curious about what was going on. Flemmi lifted her onto his lap. He tussled her blonde hair. Leaning back, he pulled out a handgun from his waist. The hard metal caught the little girl's attention, and she reached for it. Flemmi let her touch it, and the little girl put part of the gun in her mouth. "Isn't she cute?" Flemmi observed. Stephen Rakes watched in horror. Bulger continued. "You don't understand, we're buying your liquor store." Rakes sat still and listened. Bulger explained that inside the paper bag, packed in neatly folded bunches, was $67,000 in cash. Never mind that Stephen and Julie had actually put about $100,000 into their new business--between the cost of the lease, the renovation, the refrigerators and the stock--all of which they fully expected to make back and more. Bulger had set his own price, and this was Bulgertown. This investigative report / history of the corruption of some Boston FBI agents and their Irish Mob informants is fascinating and unnerving at the same time. John Connolly, an FBI agent born in South Boston and James 'Whitey' Bulger, also of South Boston but a mobster, grew up on the same streets. Reconnecting after Connolly joins the FBI movement to get 'the Mafia', Bulger and his partner Stevey Flemmy become informants, while given a free hand to commit crimes. Rubinstein's narration sounds like a 60 Minutes expose, broken only by dialog in an Boston accent, easily identifiable to non-New Englanders. As the investigation gains momentum and more 'bad guys' are captured, the noose tightens on Connolly and Bulger and their activities. Cover up and deceit are common themes uncovered by the investigation. One is left wondering what other crimes and corruption have infiltrated our 'law enforcement' agencies. M.B.K.

The good qualities of loyalty and pride that we were raised on in Southie, were manipulated and perverted for their own gain as they promoted a culture of drugs, denial, and death on our streets. Lehr and O'Neill give us all the details with a journalistic precision that does not sacrifice the power of the story. After reading Black Mass, you might wonder if any of us really knows who are the good guys and who are the bad guys." -- Michael Patrick MacDonald, author of All Souls: A Family Story from SouthieIt is at once a uniquely Boston tale about Italian-Irish rivalries in organized crime, law enforcement and politics, and a parable of what happens when law enforcement officers get too close to their informers. -- The New York Times Book Review, Alan M. DershowitzThis is a heartbreaking and enraging story of corruption and crime, but it has its heroes, especially Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill. These reporters were among the first to shine light on the shadowy collusion of heinous murderers and an FBI cut loose from its moral center. Now, with this powerful book, Lehr and O'Neill bring the whole story into the open. Black Mass is a work of rare lucidity, high drama, journalistic integrity, and plain courage." -- James Carroll, author of An American Requiem and Boston Globe columnist Gerard O'Neill is the editor of the Boston Globe's Spotlight Team, one of the nation's top investigative reporting units. He started at the Globe in 1966, and has won a Pulitzer Prize, been a Pulitzer finalist, won the Hancock Award, the Loeb Award, and many others. Dick Lehr joined the Boston Globe in 1985. Lehr has also been a Pulitzer Finalist, and he too has won the Hancock and Loeb awards, among others. O'Neill and Lehr are the authors of The Underboss: The Rise and Fall of a Mafia Family. The men stepped into the house carrying a brown-paper bag, and Stephen followed them into the kitchen of him home. Bulger and Flemmi sat down. Weeks stayed on his feet nearby. Bulger was in charge. "We're going to buy your store," he announced firmly. Rakes fidgeted. "It's not for sale," he replied. It was the last peep of protest Stephen Rakes would make. His little girl had wandered into the kitchen, curious about what was going on. Flemmi lifted her onto his lap. He tussled her blonde hair. Leaning back, he pulled out a handgun from his waist. The hard metal caught the little girl's attention, and she reached for it. Flemmi let her touch it, and the little girl put part of the gun in her mouth. "Isn't she cute?" Flemmi observed. Stephen Rakes watched in horror. Bulger continued. "You don't understand, we're buying your liquor store." Rakes sat still and listened. Bulger explained that inside the paper bag, packed in neatly folded bunches, was $67,000 in cash. Never mind that Stephen and Julie had actually put about $100,000 into their new business--between the cost of the lease, the renovation, the refrigerators and the stock--all of which they fully expected to make back and more. Bulger had set his own price, and this was Bulgertown. This investigative report / history of the corruption of some Boston FBI agents and their Irish Mob informants is fascinating and unnerving at the same time. John Connolly, an FBI agent born in South Boston and James 'Whitey' Bulger, also of South Boston but a mobster, grew up on the same streets. Reconnecting after Connolly joins the FBI movement to get 'the Mafia', Bulger and his partner Stevey Flemmy become informants, while given a free hand to commit crimes. Rubinstein's narration sounds like a 60 Minutes expose, broken only by dialog in an Boston accent, easily identifiable to non-New Englanders. As the investigation gains momentum and more 'bad guys' are captured, the noose tightens on Connolly and Bulger and their activities. Cover up and deceit are common themes uncovered by the investigation. One is left wondering what other crimes and corruption have infiltrated our 'law enforcement' agencies. M.B.K.

B00004U1QX | Pokemon Puzzle League
| Sure, you're good at capturing and battling Pokmon, but how good are you at solving puzzles? In Pokmon Puzzle League, you're after a new hotshot, the mysterious Puzzle Master. To get him, you'll need to outdo 16 trainers in fast-paced competition. The game itself is simple enough: match three blocks of the same color and make them disappear, sending the above blocks down. You can even create combos that will add garbage blocks to your competition's pile of woes. Pokmon Puzzle League features six different modes of play, including a competitive two-player mode. Although the Pokmon aspect of Pokmon Puzzle League is purely thematic--which might disappoint lovers of Pikachu, while still warding off nonfans--the fun and challenging gameplay here makes this title one of the best in the puzzle genre. Gameplay in Pokmon Puzzle League is a variation on the puzzle classic Tetris: players must clear blocks off the screen by switching adjacent horizontal blocks to create horizontal and vertical lines of three or more identically colored blocks. Blocks rise in rows from the bottom of the screen, and, once they reach the top, the game is over. While it's deceptively easy at first, the steadily increasing speed of the rising blocks requires players to make combos (more than three blocks in a line) and chains (creating multiple lines simultaneously), both of which pause the rise of the blocks temporarily. Featuring six gaming modes and puzzles in both 2-D and 3-D, Pokmon Puzzle League is best played by one player versus the computer (in the Stadium) or in two-player "versus" mode. In these modes, creating combos and chains causes "garbage" blocks to fall from the top of your opponent's screen, which results in some villainously vindictive gameplay.--Joe Hon Pros: Fun and challenging Tetris-like game for all ages Outstanding two-player "versus" gameplay 2-D and 3-D puzzles, six gaming modes, and very thorough tutorials "Puzzle University" mode lets players create their own puzzles Cons: Pokmon aspect of the game is purely thematic | [

0975870998 | Stranger Danger: The Reluctantly Written but Absolutely Necessary Book for Todays Boys And Girls!
| When someone asks me how long Ive been writing, I can quite honestly say, "Most of my life!" I had my first poem published in Wee Wisdom Magazine in the summer of 1963. I was 10 years old. Since then I have always had the burning desire in my heart to write,and write I did! From love notes to poems and greeting cards, to short stories to letters to the editors, I wrote almost daily. Even when I worked full time as a sales representative (for many years) I wrote on the side. Ive written for more than 20 national magazines (with more than 300 articles published), like Quilt, Romantic Homes, Victorian Homes, Ohio, and many others. Ive published 10 books and have written another 12 that are in the process of being published. My wonderful husband, Rick and I are also both photographers and he has photographed the homes for the magazines for which Ive written. We work together as a team and also photograph weddings, families and other events. Eventually, I left my full time job and decided to go into writing full time. I took a position as a reporter for the Pulse Journal, a weekly paper in Mason, Ohio. When an opening came available the following year, I became editor at the Fairfield Echo. The hours were long and the pay was minimal so I went back to being a reporter and within the following year I started Journey Stone Creations, LLC. I continue to write for the Echo in a weekly column. In addition to writing, Ive always been involved in my church and I am co-president of our ladies group, Women on Mission. I teach a ladies class for Sunday School, and belong to a wonderful group of ladies called the BRATs: Beautiful Radiant Angel Team. They are my inspiration. On a personal note, Ive been married to my first love, Rick, for 36 years (on May 9th), have three grown and married children: Billy, married to Jill; Mylina, married to Steve; and Eric, married to Nyki. In the last two years we have been blessed with two grandchildren from Billy and Jill: Sierra, who will be two in May, and Parker, who will be one in August. | [

B000IZPY3K | Vetri-Science Perio-Support, 4.2 Ounce.
| Perio-Support Powder Perio-Support Powder is a unique product designed to support periodontal health in cats and dogs. Periodontal disease is the number one health issue diagnosed in dogs and cats. It's difficult to floss and brush dogs' and cats' teeth, so many owners don't. That means it's especially important to support normal periodontal health from the start. Perio-Support Powder is recommended for: Maintaining clean teethFreshening breathControlling plaque formationSupporting gum healthDaily use between dental cleanings Unique Ingredients Vetri Science Laboratories' Perio-Support Powder includes unique ingredients like natural zeolites, minerals that help prevent plaque formation and retention. Perio-Support also features: Cranberry A source of antioxidants and rich in bioflavonoids, cranberry supports gum tissue health. These bioflavonoids also help reduce the build-up of undesirable bacteria that leads to plaque accumulation and tissue and gum destruction. Natural Zeolites These unique minerals help prevent plaque from forming and sticking to teeth. Zinc The inclusion of zinc results in less plaque formation because zinc can penetrate and oxidize plaque on the teeth. Plaque formation influences bad breath, so zinc is also meant to reduce the incidents of foul-smelling breath. Bacteria Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Enterococcus Faecium are friendly bacteria that help restore bacterial balance in the mouth and gut. They displace unhealthy bacteria that cause plaque in order to support healthy gum tissue and fresher breath. Vegetable Fats Vegetable fats greatly contribute to the product's high palatability, and help ingredients adhere to the teeth. Vegetable fats also support gum health through the provision of essential fatty acids. Taurine Taurine and zinc work together to support gum tissue health and strength, thereby providing less dead tissue on which harmful bacteria can feed. Vetri Science Laboratories' Perio-Suport is: Easy to use Easy to remember Easy to give due to its great taste and smell A no stress, no mess, no hassle daily dental program A guilt-free way to support periodontal health So do your pet a favor sprinkle some Perio-Support with eat meal! Active Ingredients Per 2.5 g (approx. 1 Teaspoon): Natural Zeolites, 500 mg; Cranberry Extract, 25 mg; Yucca Schidigera Extract, 7 mg; Taurine, 1.25 mg; Zinc (as Zn Ascorbate), 0.8 mg; Lactobacillus Acidophilus, 5,500 CFU; Enterococcus Faecium, 5,500 CFU.

| Why recommend this title when the number of fat-free recipes probably exceeds the number of dieters in the U.S.? For two reasons: Wolfe's wicked sense of humor (e.g., one of his ideas for the disposition of unused egg yolks is to "blend them with latex for a beautiful yellow paint. Note, however, that the room may take on the smell of sulfur."), and concrete ways to recognize and deal with food cravings instead of ignoring the pangs. And these methods not only feature 100 junk-food-like recipes but also include some very practical coping techniques and weight-loss guidelines, such as tricks to avoid gaining poundage during the holidays and instructions for reading food labels between the lines. For convenience treats for the entire family, from easy cheesy fondue to death-by-chocolate-and-then-gone-to-heaven pudding.

B0028O9VE2 | Spanglish
| Anyone familiar with writer/director James L. Brooks (Broadcast News, As Good As It Gets) knows the man has a real feel for interesting women and a disarming way with a one-liner. The main women in Spanglish are Deborah Clasky (Ta Leoni), a moneyed SoCal mom, and non-English speaking Flor Moreno (Paz Vega), the beautiful Latina whom Deborah hires as a housekeeper. The one-liners, some of them amusing, are everywhere. Brooks provides an intriguing set-up for the two women to butt heads--Deborah's pudgy daughter Bernice (Sarah Steele) needs the affection at which Flor excels, while Flor's clever, bi-lingual daughter Cristina (Shelbie Bruce) is enamored of the financial advantages Deborah can provide--then proceeds to make Deborah so hatefully ignorant you can't imagine why her neuroses are the main thrust of the film. And Deborah's celebrated chef husband John (Adam Sandler, way over his head) is such a perfect parent he doesn't seem human--what happened to the Brooks who had Terms of Endearment mom Debra Winger turn to her scowling little boy and grunt "Don't make me hit you in the street"? Cloris Leachman has a nifty supporting role as Deborah's boozy, ex-jazz singer mother, but it's only one offbeat chord in an earnest film that hits all the wrong notes. --Steve Wiecking | [

B00004YVV7 | Tombstone (1993)
| This Western has become a modest cult favorite since its release in 1993, when the film was met with mixed reviews but the performances of Kurt Russell (as Wyatt Earp) and especially Val Kilmer, for his memorably eccentric performance as the dying gunslinger Doc Holliday, garnered high praise. The movie opens with Wyatt Earp trying to put his violent past behind him, living happily in Tombstone with his brothers and the woman (Dana Delany) who puts his soul at ease. But a murderous gang called the Cowboys has burst on the scene, and Earp can't keep his gun belt off any longer. The plot sounds routine, and in many ways it is, but Western buffs won't mind a bit thanks to a fine cast and some well-handled action on the part of Rambo director George P. Cosmatos, who has yet to make a better film than this. --Jeff Shannon | [

B000002NHU | What's Your Name
| Among his Saturday Night Live peers--Chris Rock, Chris Farley, David Spade--Adam Sandler has always been the most musically inclined. It's only natural then that the creator of Opera Man and "The Hanukkah Song" would record What's Your Name, an entirely song-based, and often hilarious, musical parody record. The album's first song commences with one of Sandler's trademark nonsense words--a menacing "Schnoin!"--then goes on to tell the tale of a neighborly old man whose hobby is "Moyda" (or murder). There's also two spot-on snipes at Bruce Springsteen, "The Lonesome Kicker" and "Listenin' to the Radio," and one of the most unsettling dance-floor throw downs you'll ever hear--the P-Funk meets Ween booty-shake of "Dance Like You Just Shit Your Pants." Sandler ransacks just about every musical genre known to western humanity, but it's his unrepentant immaturity, more than his chops, that's sure to make What's Your Name a junior high school bus classic for years to come. --Matt Hanks CD Warner Bros.

0767905784 | The African American Guide to Writing & Publishing Non Fiction
| Telling life stories is a cultural heritage that African Americans can trace back hundreds of years, to the West African storytellers-musicians-historians called griots. In The African American Guide to Writing and Publishing Nonfiction, Jewell Parker Rhodes encourages African American writers to be modern-day griots, acquainting themselves with the work of earlier writers and committing their own lives and the lives of others to paper. As with Free Within Ourselves, in which Rhodes focused on fiction writing, it would be a shame for non-African Americans to overlook this book. Rhodes's advice on writing (autobiography, memoir, and personal essays), revising, and getting published is solid, clear, and specific. She manages to make cheery affirmations not seem cloying. And she provides copious excerpts from a compelling African American canon, including longer pieces by Nathan McCall, Maya Angelou, Patrice Gaines, and Lorene Cary. The book concludes with advice from more than 30 black writers, including Pearl Cleage. "Tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth," Cleage urges, "especially about the stuff you'd rather lie about." --Jane Steinberg Rhodes, former director of a university writing program, begins by conveying the necessity of writers, particularly African American writers, to find their voice and write about their experiences. She notes that since slave narratives, African Americans have recognized the need to merge African oral traditions and Western written traditions. Rhodes catalogs black literary ancestors and provides solid advice on gathering ideas from life's joys and disappointments and using source materials from interviews with relatives to libraries and Web sites. After each chapter, Rhodes offers exercises that include reading a variety of nonfiction. She asks the reader to take careful note of how writers execute tone, texture, and rhythm and convey information. She provides helpful advice on writing autobiography and includes samples from such famous authors as Maya Angelou, Lorene Cary, and Nathan McCall. Finally, Rhodes provides information on getting published. She includes wisdom and advice from other black writers, a recommended reading list, and enthusiastic encouragement. Although the information is culturally specific to African Americans, any reader interested in writing will enjoy this book. Vanessa BushCopyright American Library Association. All rights reserved In college and graduate school, Jewell Parker Rhodes never encountered a single reading assignment or exercise that featured a person of color. Now she has made it her mission to rectify the situation, gathering advice and inspiring tips tailored for African Americans seeking to express their life experiences. Comprehensive and totally energizing, the African American Guide to Writing and Publishing Nonfiction bursts with supportive topics such as: Finding your voiceGetting to know your literary ancestorsOvercoming a bruised ego and finding the determination to pursue your dreamsGathering material and conducting researchTapping sweet, bittersweet, and joyful memoriesKnowing when to keep revising, and when to let goThe guide also features unforgettable excerpts from luminaries such as Maya Angelou, Brent Staples, Houston Baker, and pointers from bestselling African American authors Patrice Gaines, E. Lynn Harris, James McBride, John Hope Franklin, Pearl Cleage, Edwidge Danticat, and many others. It is a uniquely nurturing and informative touchstone for affirming, bearing witness, leaving a legacy, and celebrating the remarkable journey of the self. Dr. Jewell Parker Rhodes is the former director of the graduate-level creative writing program at Arizona State University. She is the author of Free Within Ourselves: Fiction Lessons for Black Authors and the works Magic City, Voodoo Dreams, and the forthcoming Frederick Douglass Women. A recipient of fellowships from Yaddo and the National Endowment for the Arts, she lives in Phoenix, Arizona. ONEFINDING YOUR VOICEWhether it's the first time, the hundredth or the thousandth time, give yourself permission to speak, to write your heart and soul down on paper.Always believe--there is no better voice than your own unique voice. No better story than the one you need to write.Select a journal--a three-ring binder, a legal pad, a leather-bound blank book, whatever's most comfortable for you. This journal is your life line to writing more effectively and productively. Select a special pen--a felt tip, roller ball, fountain pen, or a profusion of rainbow gels. Journal writing should be a tactile experience, alive with the joy of your hand moving across the page, of leaving colored markings that speak about your self and the world at large.On page one, write:I Am (your name)I Believe in MyselfI Have Something to SayWhen you feel doubtful about your voice, reread the first page of your journal. Remind yourself that this journal is your song, your celebration of how you observe and experience the world. It is your private practice field. You'll collect ideas and feelings, but you'll explore how best to express them--how best to sing your song, speak your mind, and say what needs to be said!A journal is for shouts and whispers, cries and laughter. It is never a place for silence. With each sentence you write in your journal, you affirm and improve your voice, the power of your words.Just as musicians play scales to strengthen their rhythm and tone, to limber their fingers, hands, and mouths, so, too, a writer must practice the basics of writing prose. Observation, clarity, description, voice, sentence structure, and rhythm are all essential skills that require continual practice.Don't try to do the following exercises all at once. Take time between exercises to experience, observe, reflect, and revise. If you're struggling with an exercise, repeat it. Move on when you feel your writing is improving. By doing the exercises in this book, you'll be allowed to make mistakes and to explore thoughts and feelings. After practicing these exercises, when you do sit down to write an essay or book, you'll be much better prepared to succeed.MY BEST ADVICETreasure your journal. A journal begins the process of crafting ideas into art.For those of you who are new to writing, this chapter will help limber your skills of observing, listening, recording, and assembling portraits of your world. For those of you who have been writing for a while, these opening exercises will give you the opportunity to sharpen your skills and reflect again how heritage can influence and deepen your writing.In either case, don't hurry your growth. Writing is a process. Nothing is discrete; everything is interconnected. Who you are, what subjects you select, what skills you learn, and what nonfiction you choose to write are integrated, much like single grains of sand shaping a shoreline.REMEMBER: There are many trails to follow as a writer, but the main toll road is the same--a willingness to explore who you are and a belief that your voice matters.When you're anxious or filled with self-doubt, remember: the collective spirit of our people is with you. Your journey to discover the power of voice, your words are an affirmation of all of us. Your journal is your life line, life support, and key to finding your voice!Open your journal. Take a deep breath. The adventure begins.EXERCISE 1EXPERIENCING A COMMUNITY EVENTLike a cub reporter, go out and observe an event worth celebrating. It can be a political rally, church service, a family reunion, or lunchtime at your community park. Write quickly for twenty minutes; don't edit.When you've finished, reread your description and ask yourself: Is it specific? Are there sounds in your description? Are there colors, textures, smells, tastes? What did you fail to observe? What did you leave out? What did you write just right?For twenty minutes, rewrite the description, adding more details.Compare the two versions and decide which one you like best, which conveys the more complete picture.EXERCISE 2EXPERIENCING THE FOLKLook for a person to describe, someone worth focusing on and writing about. It can be someone you know, a trusted teacher, a performance poet, or young girl playing defense in a pick-up game of basketball. Write quickly for twenty minutes; don't edit.When you've finished, reread your description. How well did you describe the person? Would I recognize them if I saw them on the street, saw them in action? How does your person dress, talk, move? What do they feel--joy, anger, exhilaration? How can you tell? What outward signs, what actions best express personality? How do they react to others? How do they react to touch, sight, taste, and sound?What makes this person special to you? What about them are you highlighting?Revise your description for twenty minutes, adding new details.Compare the two versions and decide which one you like best. Which version is more accurate? The most vibrant and lifelike?EXERCISE 3TALKING THAT TALK: COMMUNITY STORYTELLERSStorytelling is a fundamental human activity--some stories are short (leaving you breathless for more), some are long and twisting, some teach, some give praise, some slander, some help you imagine a time and place where you've never lived. In Africa, the griot was honored as master storyteller, responsible for maintaining the stories and legends of the tribe. The griot tradition did not die with the advent of American slavery. Indeed, cultural storytelling kept the past alive and sustained a newly born people. Slaves were not blank slates but a community who mirrored, shaped, celebrated, informed, and inspired themselves through stories.Many of us when we hear or see the word story immediately think fiction, think only of stories as untrue, created out of the imagination. Not necessarily so. Stories can be true, drawn from concrete reality. But even while you may be recording a true story, you'll want to write it as interesting as fiction--you'll want to capture sensory details, characterization, and the voice of the storyteller!Go out and find a storyteller--a former diva who used to sing for Motown, a young adult remembering the glamor of prom night, a grandmother on the front porch spinning stories about her childhood and her family's migration north. Go to the local barbershop or beauty salon and talk to the elders or the most colorful person in the room.Listen to the voice of this storyteller, the rhythms in his or her speech. Is the talk slow and meandering or fast and focused? Is the voice loud or soft, rough or smooth? Is the voice conversational or formal? Write a page in the voice of the storyteller you've studied. Try to recapture their story--feel free to elaborate, to improve upon your memory. The important thing is to keep writing the voice of the storyteller you've heard. To keep imitating the rhythm, sounds, and speech.Reread your writing. Can you hear the storyteller's voice? Rewrite any sentences that don't sound like your storyteller.Repeat this exercise with two other people. If you first wrote a young man's tale of valor, try capturing the scratchy cadences of a deejay or the ebullient voice of a teenager. Stretch yourself--look for a variety of voices to challenge you. If you haven't heard enough good storytellers, don't underestimate the power of simply asking: Please, tell me a story. Tell me about something that happened to you. You'll be surprised by the truths you may hear.Once you've captured three storytellers, list the differences among the three voices. Which voice did you capture best? Who told the best story? Why was it the best? How did the voice make the story more interesting?Over time you'll train yourself to hear nuances of speech, differences of grammar, word choice, rhythm, and sound.For now, listen up! As a writer, you need daily practice in listening to people talk--becoming more in tune with the full range of human sounds.For one week, listen more and talk less. Record your experiences in your journal.EXERCISE 4TALKING THAT TALK: FAMILY TALESOur ancestors shape our family's stories. Talk to an aunt, a grandparent, a second cousin, about your family's heritage. Ask to see pictures, mementos, genealogy charts, family Bibles. What stories are attached to these objects? What do these stories reveal about the African American spirit in your family? What makes them dramatic and intriguing?Certain stories are easily passed down through the generations within families. Other stories are told in whispers, with long silences between incidents. Listen for the gaps in one of your family's stories. Listen for the silences, for what might be left unsaid, the secrets, then--explore, investigate.For an hour, write the family tale you found; write the story just as your family member told it.Next, put a star by all the points in the story where you don't know what happened. These starred points represent opportunities for research.For example, in my family, my mother often told how her grandmother was a slave owned by a Georgia planter with the surname Wright:When Master decided to sell Grandmother, she begged to be sold with her husband and infant. Master agreed; and years later, when the family was emancipated, they kept the Wright name.Mother's tale has been passed down for three generations; nonetheless, I wasn't sure the tale was entirely true. Having a slave family sold intact was highly unusual. And while many slaves kept their masters' names, why did my ancestors keep the Wright name? Was it an expression of appreciation? Had they refused to adopt the name of their last owner? Why didn't they just... | [

] | The African American Guide to Writing & Publishing Non Fiction
Telling life stories is a cultural heritage that African Americans can trace back hundreds of years, to the West African storytellers-musicians-historians called griots. In The African American Guide to Writing and Publishing Nonfiction, Jewell Parker Rhodes encourages African American writers to be modern-day griots, acquainting themselves with the work of earlier writers and committing their own lives and the lives of others to paper. As with Free Within Ourselves, in which Rhodes focused on fiction writing, it would be a shame for non-African Americans to overlook this book. Rhodes's advice on writing (autobiography, memoir, and personal essays), revising, and getting published is solid, clear, and specific. She manages to make cheery affirmations not seem cloying. And she provides copious excerpts from a compelling African American canon, including longer pieces by Nathan McCall, Maya Angelou, Patrice Gaines, and Lorene Cary. The book concludes with advice from more than 30 black writers, including Pearl Cleage. "Tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth," Cleage urges, "especially about the stuff you'd rather lie about." --Jane Steinberg Rhodes, former director of a university writing program, begins by conveying the necessity of writers, particularly African American writers, to find their voice and write about their experiences. She notes that since slave narratives, African Americans have recognized the need to merge African oral traditions and Western written traditions. Rhodes catalogs black literary ancestors and provides solid advice on gathering ideas from life's joys and disappointments and using source materials from interviews with relatives to libraries and Web sites. After each chapter, Rhodes offers exercises that include reading a variety of nonfiction. She asks the reader to take careful note of how writers execute tone, texture, and rhythm and convey information. She provides helpful advice on writing autobiography and includes samples from such famous authors as Maya Angelou, Lorene Cary, and Nathan McCall. Finally, Rhodes provides information on getting published. She includes wisdom and advice from other black writers, a recommended reading list, and enthusiastic encouragement. Although the information is culturally specific to African Americans, any reader interested in writing will enjoy this book. Vanessa BushCopyright American Library Association. All rights reserved In college and graduate school, Jewell Parker Rhodes never encountered a single reading assignment or exercise that featured a person of color. Now she has made it her mission to rectify the situation, gathering advice and inspiring tips tailored for African Americans seeking to express their life experiences. Comprehensive and totally energizing, the African American Guide to Writing and Publishing Nonfiction bursts with supportive topics such as: Finding your voiceGetting to know your literary ancestorsOvercoming a bruised ego and finding the determination to pursue your dreamsGathering material and conducting researchTapping sweet, bittersweet, and joyful memoriesKnowing when to keep revising, and when to let goThe guide also features unforgettable excerpts from luminaries such as Maya Angelou, Brent Staples, Houston Baker, and pointers from bestselling African American authors Patrice Gaines, E. Lynn Harris, James McBride, John Hope Franklin, Pearl Cleage, Edwidge Danticat, and many others. It is a uniquely nurturing and informative touchstone for affirming, bearing witness, leaving a legacy, and celebrating the remarkable journey of the self. Dr. Jewell Parker Rhodes is the former director of the graduate-level creative writing program at Arizona State University. She is the author of Free Within Ourselves: Fiction Lessons for Black Authors and the works Magic City, Voodoo Dreams, and the forthcoming Frederick Douglass Women.

ONEFINDING YOUR VOICEWhether it's the first time, the hundredth or the thousandth time, give yourself permission to speak, to write your heart and soul down on paper.Always believe--there is no better voice than your own unique voice. No better story than the one you need to write.Select a journal--a three-ring binder, a legal pad, a leather-bound blank book, whatever's most comfortable for you. This journal is your life line to writing more effectively and productively. Select a special pen--a felt tip, roller ball, fountain pen, or a profusion of rainbow gels. Journal writing should be a tactile experience, alive with the joy of your hand moving across the page, of leaving colored markings that speak about your self and the world at large.On page one, write:I Am (your name)I Believe in MyselfI Have Something to SayWhen you feel doubtful about your voice, reread the first page of your journal. Remind yourself that this journal is your song, your celebration of how you observe and experience the world. It is your private practice field. You'll collect ideas and feelings, but you'll explore how best to express them--how best to sing your song, speak your mind, and say what needs to be said!A journal is for shouts and whispers, cries and laughter. It is never a place for silence. With each sentence you write in your journal, you affirm and improve your voice, the power of your words.Just as musicians play scales to strengthen their rhythm and tone, to limber their fingers, hands, and mouths, so, too, a writer must practice the basics of writing prose. Observation, clarity, description, voice, sentence structure, and rhythm are all essential skills that require continual practice.Don't try to do the following exercises all at once. Take time between exercises to experience, observe, reflect, and revise. If you're struggling with an exercise, repeat it. Move on when you feel your writing is improving. By doing the exercises in this book, you'll be allowed to make mistakes and to explore thoughts and feelings. After practicing these exercises, when you do sit down to write an essay or book, you'll be much better prepared to succeed.MY BEST ADVICETreasure your journal. A journal begins the process of crafting ideas into art.For those of you who are new to writing, this chapter will help limber your skills of observing, listening, recording, and assembling portraits of your world. For those of you who have been writing for a while, these opening exercises will give you the opportunity to sharpen your skills and reflect again how heritage can influence and deepen your writing.In either case, don't hurry your growth. Writing is a process. Nothing is discrete; everything is interconnected. Who you are, what subjects you select, what skills you learn, and what nonfiction you choose to write are integrated, much like single grains of sand shaping a shoreline.REMEMBER: There are many trails to follow as a writer, but the main toll road is the same--a willingness to explore who you are and a belief that your voice matters.When you're anxious or filled with self-doubt, remember: the collective spirit of our people is with you. Your journey to discover the power of voice, your words are an affirmation of all of us. Your journal is your life line, life support, and key to finding your voice!Open your journal. Take a deep breath. The adventure begins.EXERCISE 1EXPERIENCING A COMMUNITY EVENTLike a cub reporter, go out and observe an event worth celebrating. It can be a political rally, church service, a family reunion, or lunchtime at your community park. Write quickly for twenty minutes; don't edit.When you've finished, reread your description and ask yourself: Is it specific? Are there sounds in your description? Are there colors, textures, smells, tastes? What did you fail to observe? What did you leave out? What did you write just right?For twenty minutes, rewrite the description, adding more details.Compare the two versions and decide which one you like best, which conveys the more complete picture.EXERCISE 2EXPERIENCING THE FOLKLook for a person to describe, someone worth focusing on and writing about.

B00001O2V8 | The Ladder
| Thirty years and a dozen-plus personnel changes after it helped launch the English progressive rock movement, Yes bills The Ladder as a "return to form." The question is: Which form? Though opening with a sound wash and rhythmic sleight-of-hand that suggests Close to the Edge and Tales from Topographic Oceans, it soon becomes apparent that the reunited core of the band's early 70's prime (vocalist Jon Anderson, bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White, augmented by Billy Sherwood and Igor Khoroshev on guitar and keyboard, respectively) has remembered a thing or two from Yes's metamorphosis into a pop hit-maker ("Owner of a Lonely Heart") in the 1980s without sacrificing their willingness to occasionally take their music effortlessly off the wall. (Economic adventure, if you will.) The band takes playful, virtuosic swipes at Afro-Cuban percussion, as well as jazz, funk, and classical, and even concocts an unlikely tribute to Bob Marley that sounds about as reggae-fied as, well, Yes. And if their utopian-counterculture lyrical bent remains unbowed, it now seems like a spit in the face of the overarching cynicism of the age. --Jerry McCulley 11 tracks. | [

B00001O2V3 | Plains
| Having exhausted the seasons and then dallying with Vince Guaraldi's music on Linus & Lucy, pianist George Winston returns to a favorite field of exploration, American landscapes. He started out with Forest in 1994 and now returns with Plains, his first new album in three years. Inspired largely by the open spaces of Montana where he grew up, Plains nevertheless mixes in traditional Irish and Hawaiian traditional, as well as standards from Sammy Cahn and Chet Atkins. Always an astute listener, Winston also finds contemporary gems from Angelo Badalamenti and Sarah McLachlan. Winston has two styles. One is the open, flowing liquid drops of sound heard on his original compositions that have made him a favorite since his Windham Hill debut, Autumn; the other is a rootsy Americana. Winston is competent and sincere, but undistinguished in the latter terrain, playing Cahn's "Teach Me Tonight" like any number of long-forgotten cocktail lounge pianists. But on originals like "Rainsong," "Cloudburst," and "Plains," Winston's piano rings out like an echo from the big sky. A special limited edition of the disc includes two songs on acoustic guitar. --John Diliberto 1999 album from the Grammy-winning pianist. Plains captures the beauty and wilderness of George's home state, Montana. Features 16 tracks including George's rendition of Garth Brooks' hit "The Dance," Sarah McLachlan's "Angel," and "Dubuque." | [

B000FFKZX2 | Sharmane
| Sharmane is the kind of album that plays in your soul after the last track has ended. --Laura Crouch, Writing Services, February 18, 2006 Contemporary Christian solo artist Sharmane believes music is a venue for healing the soul. She sings out of a desire to bring people into worship to God and this focus shines throughout her newly released second solo album self-titled, Sharmane. With her sweet and comforting voice aloft a stream of captivating melodies, Sharmane answers the desire for more music from this inspired artist. Her debut album released in 2002, Prayerful Hearts, reached No. 5 atop the Catholic Music Sales Charts from Catholic Music Network. Her music has been aired on radio stations around the globe. Sharmanes lovely sound is best described not by the characteristics of her voice, but by the character her music embodies. One hears the sound of sincerity, joy, and the peace that comes from embracing the moment. Listeners might glean a likeness to Jenny Owens or the innocence of a young Olivia Newton John. The same musical gift Sharmane shares with others of all ages has impacted her own life. Sharmane has been singing her entire life, from performing in pageants and teaching music and voice to serving as a cantor and singing at numerous church events. She also composed several of her recorded songs. Sharmane was recently the lead singer in John 6, a contemporary Christian band. She currently travels as a concert musician and workshop clinician, performing and speaking at music and liturgy conferences. Sharmane is a member of UCMVA (United Catholic Music & Video Association) and CAM (Catholic Association of Musicians). Sharmanes music ministry complements her first calling of being a wife and mother. She lives on the waterfront in Florida with her husband and two children. Sharmane is a contemporary Christian CD featuring praise and worship songs sung by solo Christian artist Sharmane Adams. Produced and engineered by Robert Bryan of Bryan-Presley Studios, the albums 10 songs were written by various Christian composers. The album also features Charlie Goddard, formerly of the Jeff Deyo Band, on guitar. This self-titled work is the second album for Sharmane, following Prayerful Hearts which debuted in 2002. | [

0931722780 | Children of Open Adoption and Their Families
| Silber and Dorner, who have developed and implemented open adoption policies in Texas, here define this unconventional practice as one that "includes the birthparents and adoptive parents meeting one another, sharing full identifying information, and having access to ongoing contact over the years"; they further advocate that the biological parents be considered extended family, like other relatives of the adoptive family. On these terms, suggests this balanced evaluation, adoptees can be spared much of the anguish afflicting those for whom the circumstances of birth remain unknown; birth parents can better cope with their grief and accept their own choice; adoptive parents will almost always be reassured, both because they feel "accepted" by the birth parents and because they better realize that the birth parents will not reverse their decision. Case studies, including letters by involved parties, bolster the authors' practical guidelines as well as their astute analysis of the complex emotions surrounding adoption. Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc. Kathleen Silber was born and reared in Stockton, California, graduated from the University of California at Davis and received her Master's degree in Social Welfare from the University of California at Berkeley. She is nationally known for her pioneering work in open adoption. Kathleen and her husband and two children live in California, where she is Associate Executive Director of the Independent Adoption Center in Pleasant Hill. Patricia M. Dorner has been a vocal proponent of open adoption as well as search and reunion. She graduated from McGill University and received her Master's degree in Counseling from San Francisco State University. Living in San Antonio with her family, she has an adoption-focused private practice incorporating counseling, searching, training and education. | [

| Vocalist Rebecca Hilton has a tremendous gift for expressing light through her music. Combined with the tremendous talent of Wen Boley, Twinflame offers a haunting celtic sound that is truly soulful and spiritually mature. The clarity of pitch in her voice, the masterful way in which the music is structured, companioned with the endless echo of love present in this album carved a home within me in just a few moments of listening. This is one of the most gorgeous soprano voices I've ever experienced. Delicately ornate and at the same time undeniably strong, much like the base of a pillar is required to be when supporting the throne of heaven, this peace-loving duo more than fulfills the promise of raising consciousness through their works of art. This beautiful CD guides the listeners through consciously creating their day to be filled with miracles of health, flow of time, money, relationships, wisdom, protection, life purpose, and service to humanity. From the mundane to the magical, life becomes more fun as miracles become possible, likely, probable and now, inevitable! | [
