Background
Jones, James Earl was born on January 17, 1931 in Arkabutla, Mississippi, United States. Son of Robert Earl and Ruth (Williams) Jones.
('Gangs are on the rise again.' This portent of trouble co...)
'Gangs are on the rise again.' This portent of trouble comes from the FBI'S expert on gangs, Linda Schmidt. Today, there are over 30,000 gangs across America and over 800,000 gang members. Gangs are savvy and scarier than ever. Their firepower, military background and lack of restraint have made some city centers too dangerous to patrol. As gang power grows, knowledge is the best antidote and the best inducement to corrective actions. The interviews, street wisdom and advice that are used throughout this book show its heavy dose of reality. Specialist Linda Schmidt goes deep into gang territory without a badge or gun. She uses a lethal mix of wily street smarts, courage, and determination. She possesses the secret weapons of confidence and caring, and the unnerving manner and moral compass of a grandmother. There are very few in law enforcement who have gotten so far beneath the surface of gang life. Linda can look at a wall of graffiti and read the hieroglyphics that predict an impending murder. She has leaned over unidentified corpses on the cold steel of the coroner's table and told their life story by interpreting the codes of their tattoos. Linda's book is a crucial primer for anyone who needs to learn the customs and codes of the gang world. She brings you systematically through the anthropology, psychology and pathology of the gang culture. This book is not an ideology approach but rather a practical book with a set of steps to follow. It provides specific advice and ideas for actions. Interviews, photos, experiences and case studies are included to make the book much more user-friendly to prosecutors, police and corrections officials. One of the goals of this book is to provide all law enforcement (local, state, and federal) with a method for working together to get the best results when dealing with gang cases. It will make law enforcers sit up and take notice. This book will get real results in a short time if it's carefully explained advice is heeded.

(When urban vice principal, Doctor Jamison Brown, learns t...)
When urban vice principal, Doctor Jamison Brown, learns that police have designated the murder of student Roderick Davis as "Gang Related" he knows right then, the killers will probably never be caught. The police rarely investigated gang related murders thoroughly. They were probably relieved to have one less gang banger to deal with. The real shame was that everyone who knew the Roderick was absolutely sure that the popular high school junior would never be involved with any gang. This suspenseful tale intersperses shocking violence, wit, romance, humor, deceit, and deviant sexual behavior with reflections on human nature. The protagonist represents the secret alter ego of many middle-aged professional men approaching retirement. Professionally the veteran vice principal has reached the height from which he can see ahead to the end of his career path. He has also finally managed to swallow the bitter pill of disappointment that accompanies not quite hitting one's career goals. The resulting Dr. Jamison Brown is a mature man who is comfortable in his own skin and well respected within the confines of a inner-city high school. The story unfolds amid the myriad of dramas that comprise the backdrop of urban high school administration. The important characters are studies in the interplay of role playing that nearly everyone engages in on a daily basis. They illustrate the lengths to which people go to project the right image. They reveal the dishonesty dictated by the need to be politically correct in today's society. Jamison's crafted conservative appearance and no-nonsense demeanor effectively mask his tired physique, warped sense of humor and lustful musings. The matronly department chair shows her flip side as a modern day Annie Oakley. The unobtainable vixen reveals herself as a sexual predator. The unnoticed bureaucrat surfaces as a deviant and homicidal sociopath.

(Best known for his Hugo Award-winning classic A Case of C...)
Best known for his Hugo Award-winning classic A Case of Conscience, Blish was one of the first serious SF writers to involve themselves with tie-in novels, writing eleven Star Trek adaptations as well as the first original adult Star Trek novel, Spock Must Die. This omnibus contains three of his long out-of-print works: Black Easter, The Day After Judgement and The Seedling Stars. BLACK EASTER: A gripping story about primal evil: a sinister intermingling of power, politics, modern theology, the dark forces of necromancy, and what proves, all too terribly, not to be superstition. THE DAY AFTER JUDGEMENT: Develops and extends the characters from BLACK EASTER. It suggests that God may not be dead, or that demons may not be inherently self-destructive, as something appears to be restraining the actions of the demons upon Earth. THE SEEDLING STARS: You didn't make an Adapted Man with just a wave of the wand. It involved an elaborate constellation of techniques, known collectively as pantropy, that changed the human pattern in a man's shape and chemistry before he was born. And the pantropists didn't stop there. Education, thoughts, ancestors and the world itself were changed, because the Adapted Men were produced to live and thrive in the alien environments found only in space. They were crucial to a daring plan to colonize the universe.

“Throughout the ‘90s, Lisa Pease and Jim DiEugenio covered the issues and reported on new developments in the JFK, MLK and RFK assassination cases in remarkable depth. Their book is a must-read to understand how these leaders were systematically eliminated. It is a unique volume in the literature on this subject.” — William Turner, former FBI agent and co-author of Deadly Secrets “Jim DiEugenio and Lisa Pease are archaeologists of our secret history. This volume of collected articles from Probe is a revelation to the uninitiated, a necessary witness for the rest of us, and a lasting testament to their research and courage over the years.” — Oliver Stone, director of JFK “Here is the Rite of Spring of assassination investigations. It launches huge masses of new detail, bends your mind in twelve different directions, swallows you whole, and spits you out into a steaming landscape where two different Lee Oswalds are inexorably making their way toward Dallas to change American history forever.” — Jon Rappoport, author, investigative reporter “Collaboratively compiled, organized and edited by James DiEugenio and Lisa Pease, The Assassinations is an extensive collection of articles drawn from Probe magazine concerning the murders of President John Kennedy, the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy and Malcolm X. A questing compendium of tantalizing truths, cover-ups, obvious and hidden motives, and the struggle to track trails and pin down culprits, The Assassinations is a fascinating, involving, informative and occasionally iconoclastic resource especially recommended to the attention of conspiracy buffs.” — Midwest Book Review “(T)he book is beautifully argued and boasts a phenomenal amount of brow furrowing facts and insight. The Assassinations is definitely one for those that can handle the truth.” — Dazed & Confused “Thought-provoking… One of the most chilling books you’re likely to ever read.” — Pasadena Weekly “Probing deep into four hidden histories… the material released should dispel any notions of ‘lone nuts’ or coincidence not merely in the JFK assassination, but in the assassinations of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert Kennedy as well… These articles cut a clear path through the thick jungle of disinformation that has grown around these events and expose the truly hideous teratomas that thrive and bloom under the canopy of ‘national security’… Feral House is to be commended on their courage for publishing this book in these dark times.” — New York Press “Pours new fuel into the ongoing furor vis-a-vis snafus, cover-ups, conspiracies, and alternative endings to the most famous American assassination cases of the last 50 years.” — Anneli Rufus “Steering clear of potentially crackpot theories, the editors dedicate themselves to the presentation of facts that deconstruct and devastate such insulting documents as the Warren Report… Perhaps after reading The Assassinations, the American public will pressure Congress to initiate a full-scale investigation into the Bush administration’s complicity in the 9/11 assassinations and various other crimes. For now, readers’ understanding of the ‘cataclysmic homicide’ of JFK and other potential and actual revolutionaries will be inevitably deepened by this impressive work.” — Jaye Beldo, Rain Taxi People’s Pick: “Thought-provoking… one of the most chilling books you’re likely to ever read.” — LA Alternative Press “In the wake of the failures of the Warren Commission, we are fortunate that independent scholars like Jim DiEugenio and Lisa Pease have displayed a desire to pursue the truth in regards to the assassinations of President Kennedy and those that occurred thereafter. The American people will be well served by closely reading their work on these important events.” — Robert Tannenbaum, Deputy Counsel, House Select Committee on Assassinations and Assistant Chief of Homicide, New York District Attorney’s Office

(The untold story of the night a divide nation turned to J...)
The untold story of the night a divide nation turned to James Brown—and he delivered hope and calm in the form of an immortal concert Since James Brown's death in December 2006, the Godfather of Soul has received many stirring tributes. Yet few have addressed his contribution in the darkest hour of the Civil Rights movement. Telling for the first time the story of his historic Boston Garden concert the day after Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination, The Hardest Working Man captures the magnificent achievements that made Brown an icon of American popular culture. Sullivan details the charged atmosphere in Boston, Brown's fight against city officials to take the stage, and the electric performance he delivered. Through the prism of this one concert, Sullivan also charts Brown's incredible rise from poverty to self-made millionaire, his enormous influence on popular music, and his complex relationship with the Civil Rights movement, making The Hardest Working Man both a tribute to an unforgettable concert and a rousing biography of a revolutionary musician.

For thirty-five years and through thirteen editions, Jim Henslin's Down to Earth Sociology has opened new windows onto the social realities that shape our world. Now in its fourteenth edition, the most popular anthology in sociology includes new articles on our changing world while also retaining its classic must-read essays. Focusing on social interaction in everyday life, the forty-six selections bring students face-to-face with the twin projects of contemporary sociology: understanding the individual's experience of society and analyzing social structure. The fourteenth edition's exceptional new readings include selections on the role of sympathy in everyday life, mistaken perceptions of the American family, the effects of a criminal record on getting a job, and the major social trends affecting our future. Together with these essential new articles, the selections by Peter Berger, Herbert Gans, Erving Goffman, Donna Eder, Zella Luria, C. Wright Mills, Deborah Tannen, Barrie Thorne, Sidney Katz, Philip Zimbardo, and many others provide firsthand reporting that gives students a sense of "being there." Henslin also explains basic methods of social research, providing insight into how sociologists explore the social world. The selections in Down to Earth Sociology highlight the most significant themes of contemporary sociology, ranging from the sociology of gender, power, politics, and religion to the contemporary crises of racial tension, crime, rape, poverty, and homelessness.

This is the second of a two-volume study of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Taking into account the vast increase in our knowledge of the composer due to the Bach scholarship of the last sixty years, Richard Jones presents a vivid and in some respects radically new picture of his creative development during the Cothen (1717-23) and Leipzig years (1723-50). The approach is, as far as possible, chronological and analytical, but the author has also tried to make the book readable so that it may be accessible to music lovers and amateur performers as well as to students, scholars, and professional musicians. There are many good biographies of Bach, but this is the first, fully-comprehensive, in-depth study of his music making it indispensable for those who want to study specific pieces or learn how he developed as a composer.

(The inspiration for The Last Alaskans—the eight-part docu...)
The inspiration for The Last Alaskans—the eight-part documentary series on Animal Planet! Called “[one of] the greatest life-or-death-tales ever told” (Esquire), James Campbell’s inimitable insider account of a family’s nomadic life in the unshaped Arctic wilderness “is an icily gripping, intimate profile that stands up well beside Krakauer’s classic [Into the Wild], and it stands too, as a kind of testament to the rough beauty of improbably wild dreams” (Men’s Journal). Hundreds of hardy people have tried to carve a living in the Alaskan bush, but few have succeeded as consistently as Heimo Korth. Originally from Wisconsin, Heimo traveled to the Arctic wilderness in his feverous twenties. Now, more than three decades later, Heimo lives with his wife and two daughters approximately 200 miles from civilization—a sustainable, nomadic life bounded by the migrating caribou, the dangers of swollen rivers, and by the very exigencies of daily existence. In The Final Frontiersman, Heimo’s cousin James Campbell chronicles the Korth family’s amazing experience, their adventures, and the tragedy that continues to shape their lives. With a deft voice and in spectacular, at times unimaginable detail, Campbell invites us into Heimo’s heartland and home. The Korths wait patiently for a small plane to deliver their provisions, listen to distant chatter on the radio, and go sledding at 44° below zero—all the while cultivating the hard-learned survival skills that stand between them and a terrible fate. Awe-inspiring and memorable, The Final Frontiersman reads like a rustic version of the American Dream and reveals for the first time a life undreamed by most of us: amid encroaching environmental pressures, apart from the herd, and alone in a stunning wilderness that for now, at least, remains the final frontier.

NEW EDITION, REVISED AND UPDATED In America, organizations spend $175 billion in training initiatives and more than $500 billion in human resource solutions every year yet often have little to show for it. One reason is that people “jump to solutions” before they identify the causes of the problem. Performance consultants are effective because they partner with clients to clarify business goals and determine root causes for gaps between desired and current results. Only then are specific solutions agreed upon and implemented. This third edition of the classic book that introduced performance consulting adds a wealth of new material. There are new case examples throughout and four new chapters providing detailed steps for measuring results from performance consulting initiatives on five different levels, including ROI. The book includes a never-before-published Alignment and Measurement Model, allowing you to connect organizational needs and performance consulting initiatives designed to address those needs with the appropriate level of measurement. This remains a profoundly practical book, featuring tools, models, and checklists. It will enable you to make a difference in your organization that is valued, measurable, and sustainable.

“Throughout the ‘90s, Lisa Pease and Jim DiEugenio covered the issues and reported on new developments in the JFK, MLK and RFK assassination cases in remarkable depth. Their book is a must-read to understand how these leaders were systematically eliminated. It is a unique volume in the literature on this subject.” — William Turner, former FBI agent and co-author of Deadly Secrets “Jim DiEugenio and Lisa Pease are archaeologists of our secret history. This volume of collected articles from Probe is a revelation to the uninitiated, a necessary witness for the rest of us, and a lasting testament to their research and courage over the years.” — Oliver Stone, director of JFK “Here is the Rite of Spring of assassination investigations. It launches huge masses of new detail, bends your mind in twelve different directions, swallows you whole, and spits you out into a steaming landscape where two different Lee Oswalds are inexorably making their way toward Dallas to change American history forever.” — Jon Rappoport, author, investigative reporter “Collaboratively compiled, organized and edited by James DiEugenio and Lisa Pease, The Assassinations is an extensive collection of articles drawn from Probe magazine concerning the murders of President John Kennedy, the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy and Malcolm X. A questing compendium of tantalizing truths, cover-ups, obvious and hidden motives, and the struggle to track trails and pin down culprits, The Assassinations is a fascinating, involving, informative and occasionally iconoclastic resource especially recommended to the attention of conspiracy buffs.” — Midwest Book Review “(T)he book is beautifully argued and boasts a phenomenal amount of brow furrowing facts and insight. The Assassinations is definitely one for those that can handle the truth.” — Dazed & Confused “Thought-provoking… One of the most chilling books you’re likely to ever read.” — Pasadena Weekly “Probing deep into four hidden histories… the material released should dispel any notions of ‘lone nuts’ or coincidence not merely in the JFK assassination, but in the assassinations of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert Kennedy as well… These articles cut a clear path through the thick jungle of disinformation that has grown around these events and expose the truly hideous teratomas that thrive and bloom under the canopy of ‘national security’… Feral House is to be commended on their courage for publishing this book in these dark times.” — New York Press “Pours new fuel into the ongoing furor vis-a-vis snafus, cover-ups, conspiracies, and alternative endings to the most famous American assassination cases of the last 50 years.” — Anneli Rufus “Steering clear of potentially crackpot theories, the editors dedicate themselves to the presentation of facts that deconstruct and devastate such insulting documents as the Warren Report… Perhaps after reading The Assassinations, the American public will pressure Congress to initiate a full-scale investigation into the Bush administration’s complicity in the 9/11 assassinations and various other crimes. For now, readers’ understanding of the ‘cataclysmic homicide’ of JFK and other potential and actual revolutionaries will be inevitably deepened by this impressive work.” — Jaye Beldo, Rain Taxi People’s Pick: “Thought-provoking… one of the most chilling books you’re likely to ever read.” — LA Alternative Press “In the wake of the failures of the Warren Commission, we are fortunate that independent scholars like Jim DiEugenio and Lisa Pease have displayed a desire to pursue the truth in regards to the assassinations of President Kennedy and those that occurred thereafter. The American people will be well served by closely reading their work on these important events.” — Robert Tannenbaum, Deputy Counsel, House Select Committee on Assassinations and Assistant Chief of Homicide, New York District Attorney’s Office

City Streets (Richmond and our Ancestry) ...for a long time, Richmond stayed unchanged and very Southern. The town my grandparents, parents, and I knew, is rapidly slipping away. This part of the Book alsofocuses on four very Southern women, all of whom had, and continue to have, a tremendous impact on me, and through me, on Katherine and her brother, Tom. Elon (Etc.) ...Katherine attends Elon University and will graduate in 2014.I graduated in 1980 (when it was Elon College).Elon, along withsome "random writings," make-up the final section of the Book.

(This is the second of a two-volume study of the music of ...)
This is the second of a two-volume study of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Taking into account the vast increase in our knowledge of the composer due to the Bach scholarship of the last sixty years, Richard Jones presents a vivid and in some respects radically new picture of his creative development during the Cothen (1717-23) and Leipzig years (1723-50). The approach is, as far as possible, chronological and analytical, but the author has also tried to make the book readable so that it may be accessible to music lovers and amateur performers as well as to students, scholars, and professional musicians. There are many good biographies of Bach, but this is the first, fully-comprehensive, in-depth study of his music making it indispensable for those who want to study specific pieces or learn how he developed as a composer.

(This book gives an account of the individual works of one...)
This book gives an account of the individual works of one of the greatest composers. The first volume of a two-volume study of the music of J. S. Bach covers the earlier part of his composing career, 1695-1717. By studying the music chronologically a coherent picture of the composer's creative development emerges, drawing together all the strands of the individual repertoires (e.g. the cantatas, the organ music, the keyboard music). The volume is divided into two parts, covering the early works and the mature Weimar compositions respectively. Each part deals with four categories of composition in turn: large-scale keyboard works; preludes, fantasias, and fugues; organ chorales; and cantatas. Within each category, the discussion is prefaced by a list of the works to be considered, together with details of their original titles, catalogue numbers, and earliest sources. The study is thus usable as a handbook on Bach's works as well as a connected study of his creative development. As indicated by the subtitle Music to Delight the Spirit,, borrowed from Bach's own title-pages, Richard Jones draws attention to another important aspect of the book: not only is it a study of style and technique but a work of criticism, an analytical evaluation of Bach's music and an appreciation of its extraordinary qualities. It also takes account of the remarkable advances in Bach scholarship that have been made over the last 50 years, including the many studies that have appeared relating to various aspects of Bach's early music, such as the varied influences to which he was subjected and the problematic issues of dating and authenticity that arise. In doing so, it attempts to build up a coherent picture of his development as a creative artist, helping us to understand what distinguishes Bach's mature music from his early works and from the music of his predecessors and contemporaries. Hence we learn why it is that his later works are instantly recognizable as 'Bachian'.

(A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . . Bestsel...)
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . . Bestselling Star Wars veteran James Luceno gives Grand Moff Tarkin the Star Wars: Darth Plagueis treatment, bringing the legendary character from A New Hope to full, fascinating life. He’s the scion of an honorable and revered family. A dedicated soldier and distinguished legislator. Loyal proponent of the Republic and trusted ally of the Jedi Order. Groomed by the ruthless politician and Sith Lord who would be Emperor, Governor Wilhuff Tarkin rises through the Imperial ranks, enforcing his authority ever more mercilessly . . . and zealously pursuing his destiny as the architect of absolute dominion. Rule through the fear of force rather than force itself, he advises his Emperor. Under Tarkin’s guidance, an ultimate weapon of unparalleled destruction moves ever closer to becoming a terrifying reality. When the so-called Death Star is completed, Tarkin is confident that the galaxy’s lingering pockets of Separatist rebellion will be brought to heel—by intimidation . . . or annihilation. Until then, however, insurgency remains a genuine threat. Escalating guerrilla attacks by resistance forces and newfound evidence of a growing Separatist conspiracy are an immediate danger the Empire must meet with swift and brutal action. And to bring down a band of elusive freedom fighters, the Emperor turns to his most formidable agents: Darth Vader, the fearsome new Sith enforcer as remorseless as he is mysterious; and Tarkin—whose tactical cunning and cold-blooded efficiency will pave the way for the Empire’s supremacy . . . and its enemies’ extinction. Praise for Tarkin “Tarkin tells a compelling tale of mystery while revealing much about a character who has fueled debate among fans since 1977, as well as the oppressive regime he represents. [James] Luceno has proven once again that the villains of Star Wars are as much fun as the good guys.”—New York Daily News “Another home run in the new canon . . . This is the highest and best distillation of Tarkin stories, old and new, we’ve ever been given.”—Big Shiny Robot “A spectacular novel, with the intrigue, action, and profound characterization we have come to expect from the pen of Luceno . . . [Tarkin] provides a nuanced, multi-faceted anti-hero who is captivating, ominous, and calculating; in many ways, this is an origin tale of the Empire [and] a fascinating portrait of one of the more popular characters in the Original Trilogy. It may very well be one my favorite Star Wars novels.”—Coffee with Kenobi “A fascinating look at the pathos of one of the galaxy’s most criminally underused characters.”—TheForce.net From the Hardcover edition.

In the year 1201, in the midst of the worst famine in recorded history, the adults of Egypt waged a war of extermination upon its children. Nearly every child of one of the wealthiest and militarily secure nations on earth, was hunted, captured, killed, and then eaten, by strangers, parents, and grandparents. Though the poor had nothing else to eat but their young and their dead, the wealthy engaged in child-eating—as well as the gourmet preparation of overweight people—as a culinary art. The travelling doctor, Abd al-Latif, left a detailed, yet reluctant, account of this year of grisly feasting. This is his story. This omnibus edition includes the novella Fruit of The Deceiver, the novel Forty Hands of Night, the never before published vignette Seeds of The Deceiver, and the short The Song of Jeannot.

In a desperate move, a few powerful men call a secret meeting to plot the overthrow of the government. Fifty-five men came to Philadelphia in May of 1787 with a congressional charter to revise the Articles of Confederation. Instead they founded the longest lasting republic in world history.

NEW EDITION, REVISED AND UPDATED In America, organizations spend $175 billion in training initiatives and more than $500 billion in human resource solutions every year yet often have little to show for it. One reason is that people “jump to solutions” before they identify the causes of the problem. Performance consultants are effective because they partner with clients to clarify business goals and determine root causes for gaps between desired and current results. Only then are specific solutions agreed upon and implemented. This third edition of the classic book that introduced performance consulting adds a wealth of new material. There are new case examples throughout and four new chapters providing detailed steps for measuring results from performance consulting initiatives on five different levels, including ROI. The book includes a never-before-published Alignment and Measurement Model, allowing you to connect organizational needs and performance consulting initiatives designed to address those needs with the appropriate level of measurement. This remains a profoundly practical book, featuring tools, models, and checklists. It will enable you to make a difference in your organization that is valued, measurable, and sustainable.

Fifty-five men came to Philadelphia in May of 1787 with a congressional charter to revise the Articles of Confederation. Instead they founded the longest lasting republic in world history.

THE CHANGING EARTH: EXPLORING GEOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, Seventh Edition, is a member of a rare breed of texts written specifically for courses covering both physical and historical geology. Three interrelated themes (plate tectonics, organic evolution, and geologic time) help students understand that Earth is a complex, integrated, and continually changing system. In the new edition authors James S. Monroe and Reed Wicander integrate new content emphasizing the economic impacts of geology. Topics such as fracking, nuclear waste, and the threat of earthquakes are covered in new Geo-Impact boxes that stress real-world applications. Lauded for their clear writing style, the authors go beyond simply explaining geology and its processes; rather, they place that knowledge within the context of human experience by consistently emphasizing relevance, resources, and the environment. New Global Geosciences Watch activities help students learn how to use an extensive database of articles on geology that are updated several times a day and are available exclusively for users of this book.

They call him the GOAT - the greatest of all time. At just twenty years of age Cassius Clay defeated the terrifying Sonny Liston to become the Heavyweight Champion of the World.

Ali was still undefeated in the ring when he was stripped of the title over his refusal to fight in the Vietnam War. Reviled by the media and much of the public, it seemed as though he was finished. Against all the odds, Ali returned to reclaim his title and become one of the best-loved individuals on the planet. This is the incredible story of Muhammad Ali.

But when Susan pays Pastor Luke Bowers a visit, he's disturbed by what she shares with him. Her husband has a short temper, she says, and recently threatened to make her "disappear" because of a photo Susan took on her phone. Luke is concerned enough to tip off Tidewater County's chief homicide investigator, Amy Hunter. That night, Susan's body is found at the foot of the Widow's Point bluff. Hunter soon discovers Susan left behind clues that may connect her fate to a series of killings in the Northeast, a powerful criminal enterprise, and to a missing Rembrandt masterpiece, The Storm on the Sea of Galilee. Whoever is behind the killings has created a storm of deception and betrayal, a deliberate "tempest" designed to obscure the truth. Now Hunter and Bowers must join forces to trace the dangerous secret glimpsed in Susan's photo. But will they be the next targets on a killer's deadly agenda . . . ?

My friends and family seem not to know of my verses, my verse writing was unlike my action adventure novels of my off road racing days in Mexico. It gave me pleasure forming verses into the biography of my life, which could be shared with others. My verses suggest that I may have been a closed hopeless romantic, only subject to the verses I wrote for even the girl next door can tell by the reflections of my heart. Whether it's true or distorted, it can be passed through generations or the common reader. I was wise enough to know that there was certain fun in the forming and publishing. There are extremes of mood in my verses, at one extreme is in beneath me, always, and winged path, first describes my first love and the second projects the day we met, and the loss after she left. And serious grim in Blasphemy, is the catastrophe that befell on me after my autistic sons mother denied him. A loss for my children, having a mother periodically coming into their lives a couple times a year. A couple of my other themes Saplings and Heaven are of the happiness and joy of my two youngest children laughing and smiling onto the world. Between these extremes of mood comes depression. Into me, is a verse coming from my past loves in and out of my children and my lives. There is an occasional note of explanation or background in my verses. As in the verse "Thayer" I had hoped that one day to return to white picket fences in the mid west, so I could live in peace love and happiness in my forty years remained.

Man up; it’s the best thing you can do for others—and yourself Men are so busy doing so many different things; when not working, their free time is often full of the trivial or sinful. But what society and church so desperately need are men who embrace all that God created them to be, who long to follow God without limits and meet the needs of those around them without hesitation. To get there, we need what Pastor James MacDonald calls “radical surgery”—a deep, probing exploration and reparation of all that it means to be a man. In his definitive, bold voice, MacDonald calls men to be watchful, firm in their faith, strong, and loving. This isn’t a call for bravado and bluster. It’s a call for men to mix tender and tough, to be humble, to follow Jesus. It is a call to be leaders, men of God, husbands who are present and caring and strong. It is straight talk—no posturing or posing or beating around the bush—inviting men to redemption and restoration in their manhood. Read Act Like Men and take bold steps toward being all that God designed you to be.

A superhuman with a mission to save the world. She's gone to the ends of the earth seeking her destiny. And now the end isn't just near...it's here.

He has a voice that everyone recognizes, even if we cannot always name it. It is one of the great basses of our time, selling things on TV or emanating from behind the visor ol Darth Wider in Star Wars (77, George Lucas), The Empire Strikes Back (80, Irvin Kershner), and Return of the Jedi (83, Richard Marquand).
