In honor of Reading Is Sexy's grand opening, I'm going to start off with the series that's has been holding me in a chockhold for going on 10 years now.
Nora Roberts, writing as JD Robb in her not so far distant future has captured my attention since my very good friend lend me a copy of the 1st of the series, Naked In Death. That copy started me on my 10 year journey of hunting and gathering mission to find and read every one of the books in the series.

I am posting this at the request of an online granddaughter, who wanted me to post on other topics. :fogey:
Turkey:
Discovery of 12,000-Year-Old Temple Complex
Could Alter Theory of Human Development
7,000 years older than Stonehenge
NICOLAS BIRCH / Eurasianet 17apr2008
As a child, Klaus Schmidt used to grub around in caves in his native Germany in the hope of finding prehistoric paintings. Thirty years later, representing the German Archaeological Institute, he found something infinitely more important — a temple complex almost twice as old as anything comparable on the planet.

We belong together
Like the open seas and shores
Wedded by the planet force
We've all been spoken for
The hammer may strike, me dead on the ground
A nail to my hand, a cross on his crown
We're done if we're undone
Finished if we are incomplete
As one we are everything
We are everything we need
We belong together
Like the open seas and shores
Wedded by the planet force
We've all been spoken for
What good is a life, with no one to share
The light of the moon, the honor of a swear
We can try to live the way of which you speak
Taste the milk of your mother earth's love
Spread the word of consciousness you see
We are everything we need
We belong together
Like the open seas and shores
Wedded by the planet force
We've all been spoken for
All this indecision
All this independent strength
Still, we've got our hearts on save
We've got our hearts on save
Someday when you're lonely
Sometime after all this bliss
Somewhere lost in emptiness
I hope you find this gift...
I hope you find this gift...
I hope you find this gift.

Q&A with Tom Carter, author of CHINA: Portrait of a People
American photojournalist Tom Carter has spent the past four years in the People’s Republic of China, traversing all 33 provinces and autonomous regions not just once but twice. The San Francisco native’s hardback book, a definitive 800-image volume aptly entitled CHINA: Portrait of a People, is due out this winter from Hong Kong publisher Blacksmith Books. Tom took a day off from travelling to discuss the challenges of taking pictures in China, how he evaded censorship in the tightly-controlled republic, and to share a few insider tips on visiting what is to become the world’s largest tourism market.

MADISON - It can be a lonely feeling when the phone doesn't ring.
And even though, yes, you could pick up the phone and call someone, sometimes you just need someone else to reach out first.
Ryan Paulson knows that feeling.

This was pre-milkshake days when her music was really good.
Don't need no paper
Don't need no pencils
Don't need no love letters
Cause I just wanna get along with you
No beeper, don't need no cellular
Though Digital's better, listen
I just wanna get along with you
[1] - Try me cause I'd be
The one that makes you happy
But the part that I don't get is
Why me? You deny me
Now I'm forced to roam this planet
Sadly, lonely like some used briget
[2] - You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love?

So you singles-in-love-therefore-brokenhearted, here are some ways to mend your achy-breaky heart
1) BAWL -Inevitably, this must be quite instinctive for those suffering with broken hearts. Therefore, this is chicken. If you start crying, don't let up until you finally have the resolve to accept your fate.

I dedicate this to Sophie Allison Sergeant. You never saw this world, and yet I hope your heaven is a thousand times better. Rest in peace.

There’s all levels of crazy when it comes to actors. There’s a little kooky, then there’s the people that get a little too into character, the method actors, and finally the Britney Spears level of actually certifiable. Randy Quaid, brother of much more famous actor Dennis Quaid, is closer to the Britney Spears end of things.
