The first time I laid my eyes upon her, I knew it was love at first sight. I hadn't been with a woman in several years and had decided to go out one night; there she stood, the most beautiful woman I had ever seen with a personality that glowed as bright as the sun. Painstakingly, she was involved in a relationship with another woman. For months I dreamed of being with this lovely woman that had caught my eye, though never saw her again. Several months had passed when a friend tragically passed away of a massive heart attack. Walking into the funeral home, for there she stood; my eyes could not refrain from gazing into those of hers. Ironically, she suddenly broke off the relationship with her partner and went home with me, which began the love of a lifetime. A woman so utterly priceless, our time together seemed to consume one another as I lived for her and she lived for me. As time went by, tragedy struck again as I had become sick with my heart and dealing with the constant misdiagnoses. Painfully, Layne's mother had a serious heart condition and would not live if she did not have a heart transplant within five years. With all of my misdiagnoses and her mother being terminally ill, it began to take its toll on Layne as she could not deal with seeing me lying in the hospital in so much pain and there was nothing she could and in return, I was reminding her of her mother's terminal illness. As our relationship came to an abrupt end, I began to hate life; I wondered of how someone could meet the love of their life and suddenly become ill. I struggled in coming to terms with dealing with my heart condition and being in and out of the hospital all of the time. So much turmoil and once again, tragedy had struck; not only had I lost the love of my life, I then lost my one year old cocker spaniel. Dying of a broken heart from my love for Layne and the loss of my dog, suddenly I was rushed to the emergency room. In the midst of having emergency bypass surgery, I was attempting to deal with my own fears of hospitals. My love for Layne gave me strength to keep fighting as I had many premonitions that she would, one day, return. It was two years later when we reunited our love for one another, though due to bad first impressions that I had made in the past, we had a difficult time in seeing one another as we lived an hour apart and in different states. Tragedy struck again as her mother had a heart and I heard nothing from her. A couple of weeks later, she was late in showing up at my house and in doing so, my love for her was so unbreakable, that the pain of losing her prevailed within this soul of mine. Once again parting ways and a heart and soul ripped to shreds, it was another seven years before we saw one another again. Was the love still lingering within our souls and would we reunite or be lost forever?

Adrift in Buenos Aires, Layne Mosler was hungry--for an excellent (and cheap) meal, for a great story, for a new direction. A chance recommendation from a taxi driver helped her find all these things, and sparked a quest that would take her to three cities, meeting people from all walks of life, and finding an array of unexpected flavors. A story about following your passion, the pleasures of not always knowing your destination, and the beauty of chance encounters, Driving Hungry is a vivid, and inspiring, read from first to last.
When students repeatedly lose track of directions or take a long time to solve problems, it’s easy for teachers to see the distracted or off-task behaviour, but not always to see the root of the problem. Quite often the same child who has an underdeveloped skill may have an opposing but hidden strength: a slow processor of information may also be a deep thinker. Teaching to Every Kid’s Potential is an invitation to teachers to improve the learning in their classrooms, one student at a time, using practical, evidence-based strategies. Focusing on four big concepts from neuroscience—flexibility, readiness, connection and masking—the author shows how to apply them to build on the strengths of students. Each chapter unpacks the science; shows how talents can compensate for neural processing issues; includes the story of a real-life individual who embodies such talents; and suggests small but powerful adjustments to classroom practice that will allow kids’ gifts to emerge.
This is the story of Jonathan Smith, an average guy, who spent the majority of his life trying to find purpose and reason. The only real quest he had was for truth. He wanted more than anything to know who he really was, where he came from, and what would happen to him when he died. Jonathan had all but abandoned any hope of knowing such things when, through an unexplained occurrence, he found himself outside of time and space in a Realm of Thought and Light. Through his experience, Jonathan came to understand who he was. He once again was brought back into the knowledge of all the things he had forgotten. He saw and experienced the Entities of Light, the Beings of Light, the Light World, the World of Matter, the Entities of Self and so on. He learned the nature of good and evil and he came to understand why things appear the way they do. Jonathan, knowing he could stay in the World of Light, came back to share his story with us, that we might remember who and what we are. --Please visit www.laynelayton.com

In a provocative book about American hegemony, Christopher Layne outlines his belief that U.S. foreign policy has been consistent in its aims for more than sixty years and that the current Bush administration clings to mid-twentieth-century tactics—to no good effect. What should the nation's grand strategy look like for the next several decades? The end of the cold war profoundly and permanently altered the international landscape, yet we have seen no parallel change in the aims and shape of U.S. foreign policy. The Peace of Illusions intervenes in the ongoing debate about American grand strategy and the costs and benefits of "American empire." Layne urges the desirability of a strategy he calls "offshore balancing": rather than wield power to dominate other states, the U.S. government should engage in diplomacy to balance large states against one another. The United States should intervene, Layne asserts, only when another state threatens, regionally or locally, to destroy the established balance. Drawing on extensive archival research, Layne traces the form and aims of U.S. foreign policy since 1940, examining alternatives foregone and identifying the strategic aims of different administrations. His offshore-balancing notion, if put into practice with the goal of extending the "American Century," would be a sea change in current strategy. Layne has much to say about present-day governmental decision making, which he examines from the perspectives of both international relations theory and American diplomatic history.
In When Sex Changed, Layne Parish Craig analyzes the ways literary texts responded to the political, economic, sexual, and social values put forward by the birth control movements of the 1910s to the 1930s in the United States and Great Britain. Discussion of contraception and related topics (including feminism, religion, and eugenics) changed the way that writers depicted women, marriage, and family life. Tracing this shift, Craig compares disparate responses to the birth control controversy, from early skepticism by mainstream feminists, reflected in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s Herland, to concern about the movement’s race and class implications suggested in Nella Larsen’s Quicksand, to enthusiastic speculation about contraception’s political implications, as in Virginia Woolf’s Three Guineas.While these texts emphasized birth control’s potential to transform marriage and family life and emancipate women from the “slavery” of constant childbearing, birth control advocates also used less-than-liberatory language that excluded the poor, the mentally ill, non-whites, and others. Ultimately, Craig argues, the debates that began in these early political and literary texts—texts that document both the birth control movement’s idealism and its exclusionary rhetoric—helped shape the complex legacy of family planning and women’s rights with which the United States and the United Kingdom still struggle.
