		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve noticed several book reviews on your entertaining website.  I&#039;d like to bring to your attention my collection of short stories, Calypso: Stories of the Caribbean:  

Love and loss, sex and skullduggery, conquests, failures, foibles – these are the elements of calypso, the stories in song that personify the islands of the West Indies.  These 15 stories  seek to entertain, amuse, and poke fun at everything from inept scoundrels, errant spouses, and star-crossed lovers to those of us who think we have a corner on reality.

You can find out more about it on my website http://richarddaybell.wordpress.com/calypso-2/ or at
 http://www.amazon.com/author/richarddaybell 
I hope  you&#039;ll be interested in taking a look.  Thanks.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Greetings:
I am very excited to find out about your work and have information to share with you. Please check out my website: http://www.womenofcolorday.com which has some of the history of March 1st as Women of Color Day which was founded 27 years ago by the now inactive National Institute for Women of Color of which I was a board member for 11 years. After NIWC ceased operation, I established the International Association for Women of Color Day to promote Women of Color Day observations. To date, it has been observed in 23 states and 5 other countries. On that site, you will also see information about my book, &quot;The Constructive Extermination of Women of Color: Consequences of Perpetual Socio-Economic Marginalization.&quot; which includes 16 essays from my Women of Color column in blackcommentator.com. I am also a singer, songwriter and bandleader of The Jazz Generation with 11 CDs. My other books are poems, stories and essays.. Here are some additional webpages with related information:  http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Women-of-Color-and-Our-Allies/163848467029530

FYI: My great grandmother was born and raised in St. Thomas, USVI. I lived with her and my great grandfather for the first 4 years of my life which I am sure is responsible for my love of islands. She also spoke Spanish, as do I. So much to share. I hope we can start a lasting dialogue. My dissertation, some of which I included in the bookm is &quot;Racism and Sexism in Higher Education: The Autoethnograph of an Activist.

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for your wonderful blog! Great work!!

Here&#039;s a petition I think would be worth commenting on if you can; please help us spread the word about this through this blog! Here&#039;s the deal:

The THA (Tobago&#039;s House of Assembly, the local government body in the island of Tobago) has plans to cut down an ancient ceiba (silk-cotton tree) alleging it&#039;s undermining the road next to it (Northside Road, in Runnemede), which is absurd; that portion of the road can easily be deviated or re-routed.

The petition&#039;s link is as follows: http://www.change.org/petitions/tobago-house-of-assembly-reconsider-any-plans-to-destroy-the-runnemede-silk-cotton-tree

Thanks for any help you can give these people who are trying their best to save this work of wonder from nature!!!

Best,
