The Almond
Stone sat in his living room staring at his Television as if it was on fire. He smiled with a deep appreciation of the commercial that was showing one of his favorite snacks.
"Man, I love almonds," he said, to know one in particular.
"I know you do honey," said Liz. "I brought you a can when I went to the market today."
"Great," Stone said, as he raced off to the kitchen to retrieve the can of pleasure he loved so dearly.
When he returned from the kitchen his hand was enveloped in a 15oz can… Continue

I teach journalism at Nassau Community College. News is a product. Thus, it is created. Simply because a story is not reported as news does not mean it is not news. There is a lot of news that is never reported.
Well, I have done my own "on-line" investigation thanks to the feedback received on this site. My findings are as follows: Unfortunately, the case is far from settled. The article clearly states Stewart "will" receive compensation, but not that sh...

Greetings to all my brothers and sisters of Faith, as some of you may know, I have written a book entitled; There's Something Phony About "US" the church which deals with people who say they are saved, but nothing about their lifestyle supports their claim. But what you may not know is that when you purchase my book, 10% of the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society(my grandfather died from prostate cancer), and also the American heart association(my grandmother died from a massive heart attack). You can purchase the book for just $12 by clicking on the link below. Let's help put an end to these 2 diseases that's affecting all people alike. So, on behalf of Myself, the Kingdom of God, my grandmother, and my grandfather, thank you very much for your support! May God continue to bless each and everyone of you. Please click on the link below to purchase or preview my book. Love you to Life!!!!

This is just a heads up - A new company is starting in 2009. It will publish novels for women over 40. In other words, the main character has to be a female, over 40 years of age. She does not have to be black. The writer's gender and age is not an issue. All genres welcome: general, mystery, romance, historical, etc. Write to Brenda Frazier for more information. Her email address is: writingtimes@aol.com
All best,
