Finally - I got the slide show of the Kennedy Space Center's Airshow, featuring the Navy's BLUE ANGELS up. These slides were taken by my daughter, Jessica, with her Cannon 8mpx and she then put a slide show together using some of the photos, out of over a thousand, she took that day. What a SHOW! I swear at times it was almost like being INSIDE of one of the fabulous aircraft. This slide show when viewed on the television screen is even more impressive. I hope you will enjoy watching the small version

e-book piracy
This is my first official RANT!
I have no patience with piracy of any kind - with the exception of in the flowery fiction of a romance novel! E-book piracy or that of any type of artist created material is not to be tolerated and as authors we must find a way to stop it or at the very least fight against it. I do not have answers - if I did I would put them into action. I do however agree with Charlee's well written article one http://bittenbybooks.com/?p=3151 She say it all so very well. This latest one on esnips I think is one of the most blatant ones I've seen. This person actual gloats that she is costing us money. How ridiculous and in this economy too! The only thing I can think of is to e-mail each one of her "friends" and let them know what they are doing is wrong and how badly it affects the people who are writing the very books they enjoy so much. This is really a very weak thing to do but unless esnips removes this person's site I don't know what else we can do unless there is a legal action to be taken as a group??? Possibly if enough e-mails cram their boxes they'll get the picture.
