Mama used to say she could read the stars. We used to sit on the porch swing at night. I'd snuggle into her side, and she'd look up and read the future. A letter had been left behind for his twin brother, by their now deceased mother. In it, she spoke of how Dusty would be the next in the family to fall in love and get married. Mama said that he was to go to the movies and watch the teddy bear... Dusty had already met Teddy Steel, had kissed her too, before he'd seen the letter. And after watching the sparks fly as the family had fought his sister's fated love, and then as Rusty was literally hit over the head to get him to follow his fate, he's taking no chances. He's onboard with the whole 'Teddy Steel is my destiny' idea. Only, he's much more enthusiastic over the pairing than she is. Teddy is ready to have stalking and harassment charges brought up on the man. She doesn't know why he's singled her out, but she's not happy about it. Spending time with the ridiculous man was like riding a roller coaster. She'd come to town to re-open a long forgotten business, and the repair and construction work required was intimidating. Quite frankly, she just didn't have the time or patience to deal with him, and she had the to-do lists to prove it. But damned if he wasn't managing to wiggle his way into her heart. When he wasn't acting like a jealous idiot, she was inexplicably drawn to him, almost as if by fate...

This book is in short story form of poems. Each Poem was created behind something over my life, my families' lives or a friend's life that targets the story. Some are very gray and others are very happy and heart-warming and filled with fun and love. Some of the poems may target anyone of my readers to remember something in their life. Pick out one relating to something that's happen to you. Romantic, fears, or happy times! We all have treasures and fears not forgotten. Sometime the greatest gift is sharing them with others. I hope you enjoy!

User modeling researchers look for ways of enabling interactive software systems to adapt to their users-by constructing, maintaining, and exploiting user models, which are representations of properties of individual users. User modeling has been found to enhance the effectiveness and/or usability of software systems in a wide variety of situations. Techniques for user modeling have been developed and evaluated by researchers in a number of fields, including artificial intelligence, education, psychology, linguistics, human-computer interaction, and information science. The biennial series of International Conferences on User Modeling provides a forum in which academic and industrial researchers from all of these fields can exchange their complementary insights on user modeling issues. The published proceedings of these conferences represent a major source of information about developments in this area.
