    In Haiti, carnivals offer an opportunity for people to come together-to hang out, sing, dance, laugh and to generally let go. Light years away from the government- sponsored, tourist inspired carnival floats of so many other cultures, the Haitian carnival is particularly notable for its more sober political dimension, as a venue for Haitian peasants to discuss local politics, or older, nagging, historical problems dating back to the slave revolts-and as an occasion to commune with ancestors both personal and historical. With oral histories from participants, Karnaval is a fascinating combination of photography, cultural analysis and anthropology.

    Excerpt: Dark-Hunters are fictional immortal warriors in the Dark-Hunter series written by the author Sherrilyn Kenyon. Warriors who sell their souls to the Greek goddess Artemis for a single act of vengeance against those who may have facilitated their death. In return they are bound to protect mankind from the Daimons; vampires who survive by consuming human souls to prolong and elongate their own existence thereby defying Apollo's curse. Daimons are Apollites and the former children of Apollo, cursed by the god Apollo for the murder of his mistress Ryssa (Acheron's sister) and their son Apolydorus. The Apollites cannot go out in the sun or it would be their immediate death, and to survive they must feed off of each other to live, and are destined to die an excruciating death upon their 27th birthday unless they choose to become Daimon. Within the Dark-Hunter universe, when a person dies by being betrayed or misled, their soul screams out for vengeance. The strongest and most passionate screams echo throughout the halls of Olympus, to the temple of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. She then offers them the choice to become Dark-Hunters in return for a single Act of Vengeance. Once the bargain is accepted, the new Dark-Hunter is branded with Artemis's double bow-and-arrow mark. In exchange for their souls, Artemis allows all new Dark-Hunters twenty-four hours to exact vengeance on those who wronged them during their human life. Most notably the Dark-Hunters usually go after the person(s) who killed them. After the twenty-four-hour period is up, they belong to her, and Acheron, leader of the Dark-Hunters, gets sent to train the new dark-hunter(s) in their new life and how to use their powers. After the training with Acheron is over, the Dark-Hunters... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=12268842
