Jason Stackhouse is the older brother of Sookie Stackhouse, the main character of Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire Mysteries.
Jason Stackhouse is a man in his late twenties, tall, blond, and popular with the ladies. His best friend is Hoyt Fortenberry, and he is seen in Merlotte's regularly with Hoyt, getting a drink.
Jason In The Series
In Dead Until Dark, Jason is portrayed as Sookie's lovable-yet-troublesom older brother. He doesn't have a steady girlfriend, instead sleeping around with many women Sookie knows. When one of those women is found murdered, Jason comes under suspicion, eventually being arrested. The true identity of the killer is revealed, and Jason is released from jail.
In Living Dead in Dallas, Jason fills his role of older brother with a certain aplomb. He talks to Sookie when her relationship with Bill becomes strained.
Jason is not a major part of the third book in the series, Club Dead.
In Dead To The World, Jason is both a minor character and the center of a major plot of the book. In the book, Jason is abducted by a relative of his girlfriend, Crystal Norris. Much of the novel is Bon Temps' search for Jason. It is revealed that Crystal's relative (and suitor) kidnapped Jason so that he could repeatedly bite him, thus turning him into a type of werepanther. Because Jason was bitten, and not born, into the state of were, he does not fully turn into a panther at the full moon.
In Dead As A Doornail, Jason once again comes under scrutiny for crimes he didn't commit, though this time it's from the werepanther community in nearby town Hot Shot. A sniper has killed many Weres and shifters locally, and many believe Jason to be the killer because of possible anger at the shifters for his two-naturedness. This proves to be false (he loves the monthly transformation).
Definitely Dead is a serious book for Jason--his fiancèe Crystal Norris miscarries their child.
All Together Dead is possibly a pivotal point for Jason. He marries Crystal Norris and enters the Hot Shot community. He agrees to adhere to the code of the shifters, and if he doesn't and is unable to pay the consequences, his sister Sookie agrees to stand in for him, a choice that may have far-reaching consequences. Crystal is pregnant again.
Jason In "True Blood"
Jason Stackhouse will be portrayed by Ryan Kwanten in at least two episodes of Alan Ball's upcoming series based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries, "True Blood".

Personal Taxonomy (c. July, 2005) is a concept for organization of private information or an application of ontology. Personal Taxonomy as a subject is in the midst of shaping the information of individuals, before they attain the state colloquially known as "the technological singularity preceding the development of the transhuman self."
Personal Taxonomy Application of Information Defined
To breakdown individual pieces of information structure using causality, dates and events for filing of historical artifacts associated with the self. Then crossing over to sweep data related to the self from multiple axes of measurement. The thorough combination of elemental axial views may be used to develop the taxonomic boundaries. Extents of range though are also limited by the individual application of tools available or skills embodied via the actualization learned then translated.
Date Based Information
Currently coding and ranking is the main emphasis with year precedent ahead of month and day.

Epiphany and self actualization still is best with date and rank, but removed to its own notebook of sorts. Blogging may in the future have added meta data to unveil these events affecting a psyche with subsequent conveyance to others.

Lakshmi Tatama is a 2 year old Indian girl born in 2005 in a village in Araria district, Bihar, having "4 arms and 4 legs." She was actually a pair of ischiopagus conjoined twins where one twin was headless due to its head atrophying and chest under-developing in the womb. The result looked like one child with four arms and four legs.
Background
Her father, Shambhu, and mother, Poonam, are day laborers who earn less than 1, and were unable to afford a separation surgery for their daughter. The daughter was named after Lakshmi, the multi-limbed Hindu goddess of wealth. At one point, a circus had offered the couple a sum of money to buy Lakshmi as a sideshow, which forced them into hiding. At the time of being found by Dr. Patil, she was suffering from an infected sore and continuous fevers.
Surgery
She was the subject of a surgery carried out by Dr. Sharan Patil and 30 other orthopedics at Sparsh Hospital in Bangalore, India.
Specifically, the stomach, arms, legs, kidney, spine, among other limbs and organs, of the parasitic twin merged with the girl's body. The twins' spines were joined and nerves entangled. Lakshmi was not able to crawl or walk; doctors surmised early that without the operation, the girl would not be able to live into her teens. The surgery was initiated on Tuesday, November 6, 2007, at 7 AM IST (1:30 AM UTC), and was planned to last 40 hours at the most. An estimated cost of over 625,000, is being paid entirely by the hospital's non-profit foundation.
Prior to the operation, Lakshmi was suffering from an infected sore and continuous fever. After allowing her to recover from this, a team of more than 30 surgeons in the southern city of Bangalore worked in shifts to separate Lakshmi's spinal column and kidney from those of her twin. The surgery lasted for 27 hours. The doctors gave Lakshmi a 75-80% chance of survival during the surgery.
Lakshmi's recovery so far has been swift and satisfactory. Within a week after the surgery, the doctors held a press conference showing a healthy looking Lakshmi with feet still bandaged being carried by her father.

The Gardenia (known colloquially as Gardies or "Gardi's") is a takeaway restaurant near Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. The shop, located on Rose Crescent, is well known to most students at the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University. The owner, Vasilis Anastasiou, covers the walls with pictures of student-customers.
Menu
The menu comprises mainly traditional Greek dishes such as souvlaki and Dolma, but also items like chips or pizza.
Lease Renewal
In 2003, the landlords, Gonville and Caius College, announced that after the restaurant's lease, due to expire in 2005, ran out it would not be renewed and student accommodation would be built in its place. The student newspaper Varsity launched a campaign to 'Save Gardies'. A petition sponsored by the newspaper received more than 8000 signatures including those of MP Michael Portillo and comedian Stephen Fry. The college decided to allow Gardies to stay until 2011. The decision inspired not only widespread jollity but also Gardi's: The Opera, a comic musical which premiered at the Fitzpatrick Hall Theatre, , on 9th November 2005, running for four nights. The opera was performed twice more the following summer, at the Cambridge Union, on the 17th and 18th June 2006.
