The Biden factor
Imagining an Obama presidency without a Biden vice presidency is almost impossible.
But imagining a Biden vice presidency wasn't easy.
Story Continued Below
At the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, as he has during the past four years, Biden has a key role — but one that's completely subsumed to Obama. He doesn't get his own night. He doesn't get his own headline. He doesn't get his own agenda. The man who hadn't had a boss since his first election to the Senate at 29, who never had to answer for anyone but himself for the (many) words he said, reports to Obama.
( PHOTOS: Joe Biden over the years)
Biden has caused some problems — none greater than his ill-timed support for gay marriage and his injection of racial undertones into the campaign by asserting that Mitt Romney wants to put Americans in "chains." But there's no one the White House would rather have — on the ticket or within the administration.
Biden's political value is even more crucial this year than in 2008 — and by putting the vice president on the same night as Obama, the campaign will guarantee more coverage for him to deliver the standard base-rousing, attack-dog running mate speech and appeal to those white, working- and middle-class voters the campaign is still counting on him to swing.
Then there's the policy value: Biden played a leading role with the stimulus, health care reform, the 2010 lame-duck session, the salvaged debt ceiling breakdown and the withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan. He helped guide the White House through its relationship with the Catholic Church over birth control and the president's relentless middle-class reelection messaging. Top Biden aides Ron Klain and Cynthia Hogan were detailed to manage the Supreme Court confirmations of Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. Biden has helped shaped the underlying policy and the message — but they're all Obama policies and messages.

Biden's former chief economic adviser Jared Bernstein recalls the president capturing that sentiment in the Oval Office in April 2009, after the vice president's secret negotiations helped convince Arlen Specter to switch parties and give Democrats their 60th vote in the Senate.
"Joe Biden," Obama said, sitting back in his chair after getting off the phone with Specter, "employee of the month."
The terms of the original Obama-Biden deal are well known. Biden, finally done running for president for the first time in 40 years, was going to be the next great gray lion of the Senate. He didn't want to be vice president, and he only agreed on the condition that he would be the last person in the room on major decisions. He wouldn't be assigned special commissions or funeral duty, and every assignment would have a set expiration date. Biden and his staff, meanwhile, would put the strength of his résumé to work on behalf of the president's agenda, and they'd keep any second-guessing they might have out of the press.
Then something odd happened, especially for a D.C. deal: It worked.
"They know they're all wearing the same jersey, on the same team. There's not a junior varsity and a varsity team. Not separate teams. And they're not competing against each other," said Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Obama's first chief of staff. "That can't be said under Bush-Cheney. Towards the end, it couldn't be said under Clinton-Gore. It's what stands out in this White House."
( PHOTOS: Scheduled 2012 convention speakers)
Sports metaphors go a long way in the Obama White House. In this one, the president is the star and Biden is the older, once-promising player who'd been passed over then called back up to anchor the team.
Take the stimulus, Biden's first big assignment. He was on the phone for weeks with local leaders — many of whom he'd developed relationships with over the years — gathering their input and selling them on the plan. Within the White House, he was tempering the natural exuberance of less experienced officials coming off a blowout election, guiding them through the only-in-the-federal-government allocation of billions of dollars and telegraphing the politics of the situation, current and former aides who were in the meetings said.

We received a heartening collection of thoughtful, positive reader letters in response to Creating a Sustainable Society: Four Questions We Should Ask , written by MOTHER's publisher, Bryan Welch. The idea that creating a sustainable society can — and must — be a work of repeatable beauty, abundance and fairness, rather than a path of fear and forced asceticism, clearly resonated with you as much as it did with us. It also opened up a constructive dialogue, as readers with a range of opinions all shared respectful feedback. Not only was this refreshing, but it illuminated the power of these ideas as common ground from which we can all work together to build the best possible future.
We've printed a few of the letters below. You can find more in the comments section of the article. We'd love for you to join the discussion by posting your own comment to that article. — MOTHER
Be Mindful
The overall message of the need for a positive vision in Bryan Welch's Creating a Sustainable Society: Four Questions We Should Ask resonated with me. I think that we must not completely discount, however, that some people may only be motivated to make fundamental changes to their behavior through fear of loss. We need to both strive for abundance and beauty and be mindful of what is likely to befall us all if we don't change our current ways.
Heather Martin
Lincoln, California
Meaningful Transformation
I wholeheartedly agree with Bryan Welch's emphasis on inspiration and beauty. Certainly, we need to be aware of the depths of the ecological and social crises we face, but guilt and fear will never prove to be sufficient motivation for the radical changes that are required in the way we live. Love, beauty, creativity and joy must be at the heart of meaningful transformation.
Mark Hathaway
Iowa City, Iowa
Collective Commitment
I love Bryan Welch's approach to our mission to create sustainability. So often we hear naysayers pooh-poohing all the latest ideas and suggestions as impossible, impractical and naive. Welch, and all the writers of MOTHER EARTH NEWS, put the true issue in focus. We need to collectively commit to changing not just our light bulbs, but our way of thinking and our levels of consumption.
Yes, it's important to share food production knowledge with struggling nations, but we shouldn't teach them to overconsume as we do. We have seen that's not sustainable, responsible or Earth-focused.

A Different Kind of Pick-Me-Up
This might sound corny, but it's the truth — I use your magazine to bring me out of unhappy times. I'm working to get 27 acres in Nova Scotia and open a retreat. It's taking time, of course, but if I get down, all I need to do is pick up one of your issues and I'm good to go.

The Homestead Dream Lives On
I used to read my father's MOTHER EARTH NEWS whenever I could get my hands on it. We lived on a small farm where he turned what I was reading into reality. It's where my dreams of homesteading came into being.
As an adult with mobility problems, I'm still trying to figure out how to get some things done, but I am blessed with a creative husband. He's made drip lines for the hanging tomato plants and plans for raised platform beds. We live on a small lot in suburbia and can't have farm animals, but we're holding tight to our dream of a small piece of rural land where we can do more to lower our carbon footprint. When the dream is hard to hold on to, I turn to MOTHER EARTH NEWS. The focus returns and my dream lives on.

Am I a Homesteader?
I've been reading homesteading articles in magazines for 40 years, dreaming of living a sustainable life.
Last year I retired to a small town in Arizona. Now, with a fixed income and a homestead dream, how do I improve my lot in life?
I built a raised garden and filled it with fine soil removed from a nursery's trash pile. I love the fresh veggies and reduced food bill. The savings go into making my home as green and efficient as possible — new windows, roof and low-VOC paint.
Am I a homesteader? Maybe not by most people's standards, but I've reduced my living costs, helped the environment, improved my home and the quality of my food, and stayed active doing it.
There are more things that elderly families can do to invest in the future without taxing their incomes. I intend to learn to bake bread and preserve extra produce. And when I bought my home, I put 10 percent down and avoided mortgage insurance, which can save hundreds of dollars a year.
Yes, I am a homesteader! I am doing what I can with what I have in order to live a better life and to protect the environment.

Sustainable In the Suburbs
MOTHER EARTH NEWS has been my source for learning how to live sustainably in the suburbs. I've learned how to bake bread, grow better tomatoes and use solar panels. The more we can learn to be independent from city utilities and grocery stores, the better.

Hog Wild for This Roaster
The article by Carol Watkins, How to Build a Hog Roaster , inspired me to construct my own cooker and do my first pig roast. That was in 1984. Pig roast catering is now my profession. I have since built 16 roasters and grills. I have chalked up over 1,500 pig roasts and parties since then. I'd like to thank Carol Watkins for bragging up her dad. I'd like to thank you for printing the article back then. It was really good to see it on MotherEarthNews.com.

Europeans Wise to Wood Heat
Advanced wood combustion is being pursued aggressively in Europe but is lagging in the United States. Hundreds of wood boilers run small-scale combined heat and power plants in towns across central Europe. In northern Austria, more than 40 percent of municipal buildings use wood heat. They even require fossil fuel companies to heat their buildings with wood!
Nowhere is it more obvious that the United States is far behind Europe in using wood efficiently and cleanly than in the spread of outdoor wood boilers (aka hydronic heaters) that are heavily advertised in your magazine. Most outdoor wood boilers are so polluting that some states are working to ban them. I hope none of your readers confuse advanced wood combustion with outdoor wood boilers .

The EPA is working to resolve this issue. Check out the list of EPA-certified boilers here. Also see our article, Is Wood Heating Right for You? — MOTHER
Global Warming Cult?
I am concerned that the blind acceptance of anthropological global warming is damaging to MOTHER's overall mission of conservation. There is no general acceptance of this idea. In fact, it is more of a cult following. Most contemporary research points to the sun's energy output and other factors beyond man's control. Progressive environmentalists pursue the carbon dioxide theory with religious fervor, but there is no evidence to support the theory. MOTHER should stand for the truth.

From Udder to Butter
When my sisters and I told a friend about the raw milk we buy, she encouraged us to make butter with the cream. It sounded appealing, especially because of all the nutrients in butter made from the milk of grass-fed cows. That night, I opened the June/July 2009 issue of MOTHER EARTH NEWS and found easy and illustrated instructions for making butter in How to Make Butter and Buttermilk .
This method is so simple and fast! Thanks for the encouragement and the easy instructions right when I needed them.

Perfect Whole-Wheat Bread!
Thank you for the article Healthy No-Knead Bread Recipes . It was just what I needed to get back into bread making. I had become totally discouraged with the "hockey pucks" that came out when I tried to use more than 50 percent whole-wheat in the past. I bought the book and have tried several different recipes. I can now turn out 100 percent whole-wheat perfectly! Count me as a convert. I have been spreading the word.

More on Low-Cost Tractors
Regarding the low-cost used tractor discussion , I could get a new, 40-ish horsepower diesel with loader for about $20,000 (with warranty). As for $7,000 for a used IH gas tractor with loader, you can get a much better tractor with more power for the same money — look at old Ford and John Deere diesels. I bought a '63 Massey model 65 Dieselmatic — 4-cylinder diesel with 50 horsepower, live power takeoff, power steering and differential lock — for $1,900. I have to do some wiring and rear-axle work, but for less than $3,000, I'll have a formidable tractor that will handle just about anything I want to do.

Delicious Patience Dock
I received a packet of patience dock seed from MOTHER EARTH NEWS a couple of years ago. The first (early spring) planting didn't do too well, but this year I have beautiful plants about 8 inches tall. I make a wonderful orzo pasta dish with the patience dock, some wintered-over collards, and grated Parmesan cheese and butter.

Clean Diesel Is a Crock
There is no more "clean diesel" than there is "clean coal." They don't exist. Just look up "asthma diesel fumes" to see the truth. Petrodiesel fumes contain more than 40 cancer-causing chemicals, including deadly dioxin. You really need to do some serious homework on this issue.

Nothing's Warmer Than Wool!
This is our cat Oliver sitting on the back of Ada. Ada is really old, and I'm sure she's got sheep dementia. The barn cats take full advantage: When it's cold out, they lie on her for warmth. The other sheep don't put up with it, but Ada either likes it or doesn't realize the cat is there. She is deaf and nearly blind.

A Wonderful Rediscovery
I found back issues of MOTHER EARTH NEWS at our local library's book sale and grabbed every one. I hadn't thought of this magazine in years! I've bookmarked so many pages, I can't even begin to count. And the website has been invaluable as well.
Since then, I've baked bread for the first time in years, and we're going to try making beer, wine, cider and mead. We also have plans for a small garden, a greenhouse, and someday, solar power and wind power. If our yard proves not to be a good garden site, we'll look at starting a community garden in a sunnier part of town. It seems there used to be one, but it fell into disuse.

Goofy Gourds
I thought you would like to see a photo of these beauties. A nearby farmer grew these by accident. Somehow, his pumpkins and gourds cross-bred. His seed guy was amazed and wanted him to save the seeds. Instead, the farmer sold them and I was lucky to get these gorgeous gems for Halloween decorations.
The flesh is soft and thick like a pumpkin, but the outer coating is fairly hard. The various colored warts are charming as can be. I'm in love, and hope I can grow some this coming year from the seeds I saved.

Updated Solar Education Info
Upon reading about San Juan College's solar energy programs in How to Start a Solar Career , I contacted the school to confirm the unheard-of price of tuition quoted in the article ($480/ semester for out-of-state students), and was quoted a rate of more than $4,000 for a one-year certificate.

Sharp Criticisms of Max
I have been an automotive powertrain engineer for more than 20 years. I can tell you with some authority that the MAX project ( Our DIY Car: The Quest for 100 MPG ) is nothing but a high school experiment. You have to ask: 1) Does it meet all regulations from the myriad of safety and environmental regulatory agencies? 2) Is it safe? 3) Is it saleable — does anyone besides a select few want to buy it?
The Kubota diesel engine MAX uses doesn't meet emissions standards for cars. Does MAX have the mandated air bags? Can it sustain a 15-mph crash? What about protection for rollover, side impacts and rear-end collisions? There are no bumpers. I see the fuel tank hanging off the back. What happens when a truck rear-ends MAX? Correcting all these issues adds weight and cost to a vehicle that can be sold in the United States.
The author says that MAX goes from zero to 60 mph in 20 seconds. That means pulling out of Burger King and getting to the 45 mph speed limit will take about 15 seconds and 520 feet. That's a long time and not a safe way to get into even moderate traffic flow. It's not performance; it's safety. Good traction and stability in all types of weather are also necessities.
The MAX project should be shown for what it is — a vehicle that may achieve 100 mpg, but does so by rejecting all regulations on emissions and safety. MAX is a one-off experiment that in no way compares to an actual modern-day vehicle.
Richard Kacel
Waterford, Michigan
Jack McCornack, creator of MAX, responds:
Richard, I agree with many of your observations, but only halfway agree with your conclusions. For example, what's so great about an "actual modern-day vehicle"? And what's so bad about a "high school experiment"?
MAX is designed so it can be built by high school students and other amateur doit- yourselfers. Does MAX meet government regulations? You bet! Lucky for us, the government regulations for a car you build yourself are not as strict as the regulations for production cars. For example, air bags are not mandated on home-built cars. They wouldn't be mandated on production cars either if everybody wore five-point racing harnesses like those in MAX.
I'd say MAX gets a nod on all safety issues except side impact protection, and we're working on that. And MAX has superb stability, rollover resistance and braking capability without needing stability control, traction control or antilock brakes to make up for design deficiencies.
What would happen if a truck were to rear-end MAX? The fuel tank didn't rupture when I was rear-ended several months ago because (even though it's visible) it's protected by a tubular steel structure.
I wouldn't call MAX a modern-day vehicle; it's more like a newly built 50-year-old vehicle. MAX is slow, but not dangerously slow. I will admit that I wait for big gaps between cars before I pull out in traffic.
I doubt that MAX scares Detroit, but it might help show there is a market for a small, efficient, no-frills, inexpensive automobile, conceived that way from the getgo — perhaps a small market, but a market worth serving.

Two Tips For Easy Garden Planning
Kudos for the Maintain Healthy Garden Soil with Crop Rotations article. For planning that's much more efficient than using graph paper, try using a spreadsheet program such as Excel. You can change the grid to quarter-inch squares and scale them to the size of your garden with the scale of one square = 1 foot. Merging the cells to represent rows gives you an excellent tool that has the flexibility to plan, alter and design the garden using companion planting and crop rotation ideas before you even break ground for the year.
The next year, copy the plan to a new worksheet, and you can move things around based on the previous year/ season. I also use it to keep track of germination rates, seed sources, harvests, variety performance, rainfall rates, fertilizer blends and potential harvest dates. Planning like this also is a great way to burn time in the nongrowing months to get it just right for the season.

I. Call to Order
II. Adoption of Agenda
III. Approval of Minutes of July 12, 2001
IV. Review and Approval of Proposal for Rasmuson Economics Chair
References 1-2
As requested at the July 12, 2001 meeting of the committee, attached are the following:
Reference 1: Financial Report on Status of Rasmuson Economics Chair Endowment Held by the University of Alaska Foundation
Reference 2: Timeline for Growth and use of Endowment for Rasmuson Economics Chair
Also requested at the previous meeting was a proposal from the administration regarding the Rasmuson Economic Chair as well as guidance to the selection committee.
Guidance to Selection Committee
The following is recommended as guidance to the selection committee:
Of the many qualities of the candidates for the Rasmuson Chair, special consideration will be given to candidates whose area of distinction in economics is compatible with the existing and emerging fields of most relevance to Alaska. An individual with proven expertise in the areas of [e.g., global logistics / supply chain management or fisheries? This is neither a complete list nor necessarily the most desirable] would be more desirable than a distinguished professor whose expertise is in an area not so directly associated with Alaska's economy.
The selected Chair will be expected to teach at least one class per semester, not to include directed individual studies (if any.)
The term of the position is negotiable between one and five years, with renewal an option of the Chancellor and President. It is desirable that the term be, initially, in the mid range; however, this guidance is not as important as the above.
Creation of Endowed Chair(s) in Economics at the University of Alaska Anchorage
The President recommends that:
"The Rasmuson Economics Chair Committee recommends that, pursuant to the generosity and wishes of Elmer Rasmuson, the Board of Regents hereby establishes an endowed chair of Economics at the University of Alaska Anchorage to be called 'The Rasmuson Chair of Economics'.
The purpose of the chair is to bring to UAA distinction and leadership to the study of economics and its relevance to Alaska's future.
The person holding the chair is to have achieved distinction in the field of economics. The chair is also to have the talent and desire to inspire learning in economics, both in formal teaching and in outreach activities, and the leadership abilities to demonstrate, through research applications, the relevance of economics to Alaska's future.
Applicants shall be solicited via a national search. The Chancellor of UAA shall appoint the search committee, consisting of at least a majority of tenured faculty in economics at UAA. The search committee shall nominate a candidate, or candidates, in the case of more than one chair, to the Dean of the College. The Chancellor of UAA will recommend, upon the Dean's concurrence, a candidate to the President of UA for his final approval.
The term of the endowed chair shall be for not less than one nor more than five years. The term may be renewed within the terms, subject to the recommendation of the Chancellor of UAA and the approval of the President of the University of Alaska.
The compensation and benefits including travel and administrative assistance and other terms and conditions of appointment shall be recommended by the Dean and approved by the Chancellor. The initial chair shall be limited to one and the total support shall not exceed $200,000 per academic year. In the instance of either single or multiple chairs, the financial obligation to the chair(s) may not exceed the 5 percent of the endowed principle.
Upon the recommendation of the President and the approval of the Board of Regents, UAA may request authority to supplement the earnings of the endowment to provide sufficient funds to secure one or more chairs.
This motion is effective August 21, 2001."

So I want to try something new here. Each week I'll post a question thread, and then we all can post any questions at all we have about this week's section in the comments. This can be anything, from, What does the story about X mean? to How do you translate trompe-l'œil, and what exactly is it? to Where did we last see Madame de Beaumont?
I'll do my best to answer all the questions, but I'd like everyone else to provide answers as well!
I'll get things started: Does anyone know if the Kubus, the tribe that Appenzzell attempted to live with, actually existed, or if existed any kind of similar tribe?

This course is the definitive guide to the principles of sound dog breeding. If you're a veterinary assistant or preparing to become one, this course will help you understand the essential facts so you can knowledgeably converse with clients on the complexities of canine reproduction.
Candidates for a breeding program need to be assessed not only for conformation, but also for health. They need a thorough reproductive examination and they should be screened for hereditary conditions such as hip dysplasia and eye diseases. Once selected, individual dogs are prepared for breeding with the help of proper nutrition, good parasite control, and appropriate vaccination programs.
By studying the hormonal cycle of the female dog in depth, the optimal time for breeding, for both natural mating and artificial insemination, can be identified. When a female fails to conceive, it is important to understand the potential causes. She may be suffering from infertility, but so may the male dog. You'll find out why.
Once the female has been confirmed pregnant, her needs must be met and preparations made for whelping (by knowing what is normal, when to intercede, and when to seek professional help). Postpartum complications in the female must be considered and close attention given to the needs of the puppies to ensure they reach weaning time in good health.
Jeff Grognet has been a companion animal veterinarian for 25 years. He was a pioneer in the field of veterinary assistant teaching, developing his first course almost 20 years ago. The overwhelming success of his veterinary receptionist/assistant college courses led him to expand his teaching into other areas in high demand, including pet first aid and alternative medical therapies for companion animals. He practices with his wife at a Veterinary Hospital in BC, Canada. Jeff has published a large and diverse number of articles and is a regular contributing author to several magazines.

The Lexus IS350 is an entry-level luxury sedan. Entry-level typically implies a compromise. Perhaps a given entry-level car in this class will have a beautiful and flawless interior that presents a great deal of luxury, but the performance lags compared to the competition. Since there is only so much a maker can do at a given price point, Lexus makes several entry-level luxury sedans, each with a different emphasis. The IS line specifies the performance end of the luxury sedan spectrum.
Lexus introduced the IS350 in 2006, and it continues to be something of a Lexus staple. This car has great handle reflexes and some serious V-6 power to go along with aggressive lines and sport sedan styling that broadcasts its intentions as an athletic performance vehicle. Throughout the history of the IS350, Lexus has not once waivered from the stated goal of making an entry-level luxury sedan that emphasizes performance above all else.
This Lexus sedan is a beefier version of the IS250 and comes in a few variations. The IS-F boasts even more performance while the IS350C is the hardtop convertible version. These cars in the IS series compete in class with the BMW 3 Series and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. That's a tall order for a vehicle that is basically a Toyota with fancier seats and a wood-grain trim. The BMW and Mercedes models bring to the table a greater brand name value and a longer history of high-end vehicle production.
The IS series shows little change throughout its production run thus far. On the one hand, ""If it ain't broke, don't fix it,"" on the other hand, time has caught up with the IS series as its competition has switched to newer, more efficient, and high-performing turbo charged four-cylinder engines for similar products in the entry-level luxury performance sedan class.
The IS350 replaces the IS300, a sedan and wagon model made from 2000 to 2005. The IS300 is inferior to the IS350, but still offers an affordable used luxury car option.
Other factors that contribute to the IS350's reputation include a surprising amount of features for a performance-oriented car. Available in a base package with either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (AWD), this Lexus sedan comes loaded with 17-inch wheels, leather seats, xenon headlights, power front seats, a sunroof, automatic dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth, and a 13-speaker sound system. To the base package, buyers can add options such as a voice-activated navigation system; adaptive headlights; heated and ventilated seats; a Mark Levinson, 14-speaker surround sound system; 18-inch alloy wheels; rain-sensing windshield wipers; and a backup camera with front and rear parking sensors. For real performance enthusiasts there's the F Sport package that includes a sport-tuned suspension and sport seats.
The 2012 Lexus IS350 continues to use the 306 hp, 3.5-liter V-6 with 277 lb-ft of torque coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission. It employs larger brakes than the IS250 to stop all that power. The convertible has rear-wheel drive only, but the base and F models continue to offer four-wheel drive as an option.
This model year boasts Lexus' Safety Connect service, which automatically notifies authorities in the event of a crash. It's a standard feature but requires a fee for use after an initial first year on Lexus. Other standard safety features include all-disc anti-lock brakes; an electronic stability system; Vehicle Dynamic Integrated Management, a feature meant to integrate all systems to anticipate skids and react faster than an electronic stability system alone; knee airbags for front row occupants; side-impact airbags for the front seats; and side curtain airbags for both rows.
As mentioned earlier, the competition in this vehicle's class is being updated with cutting-edge design revisions and additions while the IS350 remains largely unchanged since its debut in 2006. Without a major revision or change, Lexus has made only minor alterations to the appearance, and it upgraded the interior technology in 2010, adding a new iPod interface, enhanced Bluetooth, and a hard-drive-based navigation system. Most notable is that all 2006 to 2010 IS350s offer rear-wheel drive only.
2016 Lexus IS350
Luxury, Sedan
2015 Lexus IS350
Convertible, Luxury, Sedan, Sports
2014 Lexus IS350
2013 Lexus IS350
2012 Lexus IS350
The Lexus IS350 is sort of the middle child of the IS line, with more to offer than the more affordably priced IS250, but not quite the breeding of the IS F.
2011 Lexus IS350
The 2011 Lexus IS350 proves that there really is a Lexus IS model that fits any taste, and this one would be a little bit less than extra-spicy.
2010 Lexus IS350
2009 Lexus IS350
Just because consumers happen to enjoy driving does not mean they want a massive car taking up too much space.
2008 Lexus IS350
The 2008 Lexus IS350 is an entry into the highly-competitive compact sport sedan segment that the BMW 3 Series has ruled for years.
2007 Lexus IS350
2006 Lexus IS350
The IS 300 series made its debut in 1991 as a direct competitor to the BMW 3 Series.

The Patriots are expected to bring in ex-Cardinals strong safety Adrian Wilson for a visit, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network said Thursday night.
The Patriots have some questions in the secondary, but at the moment, most of them would appear to be at cornerback, what with Aqib Talib and Kyle Arrington unrestricted free agents and Alfonzo Dennard facing sentencing in April after being found guilty of assaulting a police officer.
That said, the Patriots do have some flexibility in the defensive backfield. Devin McCourty can play safety or cornerback; he made half of his regular-season starts at each position. At safety, they still have Steve Gregory (12 starts last season) in the fold, and second-year pro Tavon Wilson intercepted four passes as a rookie and played all 16 games.
The Cardinals released Adrian Wilson last week in part of a makeover of their defensive back corps. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound Wilson would bring a physical presence and healthy dose of experience to any secondary. The Patriots' interest in at least meeting with Wilson is intriguing.
So too is how the Patriots' cornerback depth chart will look in 2013.

The Self-Tanner That Lasts Longer Than The Real Thing
Ever since I gave up sunbathing, it's been my quest to find the perfect self-tanning product. My goal is to find something natural looking (but still intense enough to show up on my olive skin), long lasting, easy to apply, and shouldn't streak—a tall order, indeed.
Enter Vita Liberata's pHenomenal 2-3 Week Tan Mousse ($54). The olive-toned formula never looks orange, rubs in smoothly, and dries in under a minute. In order to get the two to three week lasting power, you just have to apply, wait 8-24 hours, rinse, and repeat a few times. Three applications over the course of one to three days may seem like a big commitment, but the moisturizing formula can take the place of your post-shower lotion. Plus, I've found it lasts much better than traditional single-use formulas, even through sweat and humidity.
So instead of spending hours working on my tan this summer, I'll be taking a few extra minutes to get a perfect—damage-free—glow at my bathroom counter.

The peppermint industry in Ashfield, which eventually included spearmint, hemlock, spruce, tansy, and wintergreen, flourished in the first half of the 19th century. In 1821, there were five distilleries in the town, and by 1830, there were ten. The oils were processed into essences and soon peddlers began to go out from Ashfield into other New England states and west to New York State. When it was discovered that the plants could be more easily cultivated in the richer soils of New York State, the industry gradually waned in Ashfield and grew in the state to the west. By 1892, over $400,000 worth of peppermint oil was manufactured annually in Wayne County, New York. As a result of the industry's move, many Ashfield families also left New England for points west; some moved as far as Michigan where they again grew peppermint.

Powerful Natural Cooling
The Port-A-Cool PAC2K163SHD is a very powerful machine, but it works as a natural cooling unit. It has a 16" diameter fan and a ?? horsepower motor. The cooler is energy efficient because it reduces heat without the need for chemicals. The cooler can lower temperatures up to 30°F, and features three fan speeds: low, medium and high. It is also a very quiet unit, so you won't even notice it is there. It pulls in 3,900 cubic feet of air per minute at 24.8 decibels. The lowest setting will process 2,500 cubic feet of air at 19.4 decibels.

Inexpensive to Operate and Environment Friendly
The Port-A-Cool PAC2K163SHD is very inexpensive to operate, so it is budget friendly. It operates with an evaporative swamp cooler with no compressor. It also doesn't use the harmful chemicals that a regular air conditioning unit uses.
Easy to Use
This unit could not be easier to use. The Port-A-Cool PAC2K163SHD arrives fully assembled and ready to use right out of the box. All you have to do is connect a 3/4" garden-type hose to supply the water. There are actually two ways to replenish the water tank. You can either do this manually or use the hose. The next thing you know, there will be a fresh, cool breeze to help on any warm day or evening. It works very well in dry climates. The cooler also doubles as a fan.

Natural Essentials wanted a website that helped educate their customers about their unique natural ingredients.
Together, we developed an interactive map that introduced them to the world of Natural Essentials' ingredients and helped educate consumers on where each ingredient comes from and why it's a core component in each products.
Websites are harder to build these days: They need to be fully functional on more devices than ever before, they need to be ultra fast (even on mobile) and they need to look fantastic and stay that way for years to come. Luckily for you, we've been doing this for 15 years.
Apps make lives easier. Well, they're supposed to, but that isn't always the case. Thousands of terrible apps plague the app stores. Don't let yours be one of them. We build apps for iOS (iPhone & iPad) and Android and we sacrifice nothing to make sure apps look and work perfectly on all platforms.
From websites to mobile apps, to massive web-based platforms that handle millions of transactions per day: we've done it all.

Whether you run a brand new start-up, an established business, or a Fortune 500 company, our experience can help solve your problems and make your company run smoother.
Your idea might be great, but our industry knowledge can help polish it further. There's no such thing as a perfect idea, but we promise we'll get you as close as possible.
We work with our clients to bring out the simplicity in their ideas. This stage in our process serves to clarify expectations while also ensuring a pure concept to work off of.
Our premier expertise is our ability to take your project from idea to reality. Depending on the project, this could include wire-frames & mock-ups, specifications, or even prototypes (for those particularly large projects).
We work closely with our clients to outline a concise plan and make sure that they're constantly in-tune with the everyday movements of the project.
We walk all of our clients through the entire process of launching. Getting your project out of the development phase and into the real-world isn't easy, but with our assistance, it couldn't be easier.
Then, once you've launched, it's time to go back to square one and start iterating. We'll work with you to improve upon your project as needed. Our clients become life-long partners, and we have no intention of hanging you out to dry once we've finished.

16 US Youth Soccer alumni on U.S. Men's National Team's final roster for 2014 FIFA World Cup
FRISCO, Texas (May 23, 2014) — US Youth Soccer would like to congratulate its 16 alumni, as well as the seven other American players, who will be representing U.S. Soccer at the 2014 FIFA World Cup this summer in Brazil.
All 16 players from the 23-man roster who grew up playing soccer in the United States are US Youth Soccer alums, with the other seven players having been raised primarily overseas. Fourteen players in the squad developed their skills as members of the US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program (US Youth Soccer ODP), the nation's original player identification program that has continued its tradition of elite competition and player development for more than 30 years.
US Youth Soccer ODP alum DaMarcus Beasley enters the tournament as the most experienced player in the U.S. squad, making his fourth World Cup roster. Clint Dempsey and Tim Howard, both former US Youth Soccer ODP players, are each making their third World Cup appearance this year.
"US Youth Soccer is proud to have 16 former players heading to compete on the game's biggest stage this summer at the World Cup," said Sam Snow, US Youth Soccer's Director of Coaching. "The honor of being chosen for the squad is a testament to the dedication and support of the parents and youth coaches who helped lay the players' foundation for success, but most notably is a reflection of the hard work each individual has put forth throughout his soccer career."

Nudist Colony Plays at Kiss Monster Mini Golf Course
It's become a cliche for Kiss fans to take pictures of themselves dressed and made up as their heroes. But one organization has gone in the opposite direction. On Sunday (June 3) a online community of nudists held a private function at the band's Monster Mini Golf course in Las Vegas, which opened in March.
The event was thrown by Nudist Clubhouse, who were holding their annual Expo (we don't need to elaborate on what was being exposed, even though that picture says enough) in Sin City last weekend. And as the old saying goes, what happens in Vegas, winds up on Kiss' website. For a morning, the players gripped their shafts and swung hard as they tried to get their balls in the holes in as few strokes as possible. But we're not going to speculate on what could have happened on the hole that features Gene Simmons' tongue.
According to the band's website, Nudist Clubhouse had so much fun that they're already planning next year's event. Maybe they can bring along noted golfer Alice Cooper. Still, we're not so sure if this wasn't an attempt by Gene to start a new photo collection after having been forced to burn his famous portfolios recently.

Sharks aim to end skid against Bluesby Brian Compton
SHARKS (7-4-3) at BLUES (9-5-1)
Last 10: San Jose 3-4-3; St. Louis 5-4-1.
Season series: This is the first of three meetings. They last met in the 2012 Western Conference Quarterfinals, a series that the Blues won in five games.
Big story: Behind rookie goaltender Jake Allen, the Blues return home after going 3-0 on their recent road trip, earning victories in Detroit, Calgary and Vancouver. Meanwhile, their opponent Tuesday night has yet to win February, as the Sharks are 0-4-3 this month. It's their longest losing streak since an 0-7-3 funk from Nov. 5-30, 2005.
Team scope:
Sharks: The woes continued for San Jose on Friday night, when it suffered a 4-1 loss against the red-hot Chicago Blackhawks. Tim Kennedy had the lone goal for the Sharks, who are only halfway through their six-game road trip.
"We just have to keep working," Sharks captain Joe Thornton said. "We'll work our way out of this and that's all we can do. It's tough, but we have a lot of veterans here."
Blues: With Jaroslav Halak injured (groin) and Brian Elliott struggling mightily (.849 save percentage), Allen has been a godsend for the Blues. He had a 2.58 goals-against average on the road trip and made 28 saves in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win against the Canucks.
With Halak now healthy, it's up to Blues coach Ken Hitchcock to find playing time for both – and he says he will. St. Louis will visit Colorado on Wednesday night.
"(Allen) has really helped stabilize us," Hitchcock said. "He's just a solid guy. There's no holes in his game. It's a big step for us."
Who's hot: Even with Friday's performance (four goals on 37 shots), Sharks netminder Antti Niemi has still only allowed five goals in his past three appearances. He's boasting a 1.94 GAA and .930 save percentage in 11 games this season. … Blues winger Alexander Steen has four goals and eight points over the past five games.
Injury report: Sharks forwards Andrew Desjardins (flu-like symptoms) and James Sheppard (lower body) are on injured reserve. … Blues winger Jamie Langenbrunner (hip) is out for the season.

It's not that we can't appreciate the originality of these designs. And to be honest, we're quite happy to hear the panels are made from recycled sugar cane stalks. It's just that we can't get past the fact that every wall that's covered in this material adds about two more hours to our cleaning regiments. In fact, this is one of those rare times when we would actually prefer the 3D effect to be entirely dependent on wearing annoying glasses.

Product Highlights
This item is noncancelable and nonreturnable.
The Draper 60 x 96" StageScreen Portable Projection Screen is a breakthrough in projection screen technology. It is designed to be flown (suspended) but can be used with an optional set of legs. This is a very strong and rugged screen that is marketed towards AV rental dealers. From a retail point of view, this means not having to maintain a larger inventory of separate screens since this screen can serve a wide variety of uses. From a user point of view, it saves you the cost of purchasing several screens. It is a wonderful choice for an easy-to-use, portable screen that sets up and breaks down in no time and with a minimum of effort.
In its smaller version, it is an excellent choice for point-of-purchase displays while in larger sizes, it serves well in auditoriums, gymnasiums and lecture halls. Draper tests showed it to be over 60% stronger than a traditional folding truss screen.
The system is completely modular with optional color coded legs designed for rapid, easy assembly. There are only 6 sections to put together - and if one of the sections is damaged, it can be readily replaced without any tools. The 8" truss design is considerably stronger than similar systems. The legs are manufactured with the same kind of sections as the frame itself.
The screen surface is held in place by Duraloops - which are bungee cords with pull-tabs. All you need do is attach the tabs to the frame and you're ready to go. No more snaps that can pop out. The screen surface is tensioned and held perfectly flat yielding an undistorted image.
Another "wow" point of this screen is that it can be used as a "Multi-Format" screen by exchanging or removing a few frame sections (separate viewing surface required). In addition to being a flexible system, it also cost-effective since you now have one screen that can serve a variety of formats - without the need to buy different sized screens and legs. The StageScreen is available in a variety of surfaces for front or rear projection. There is also an optional Dress Kit to further enhance the appearance of the screen and your presentation.

Mio dominates the rematch in round one of the playoffs
MIO AU SABLE - Oct. 31, 2008 - AuGres-Sims had eagerly anticipated its first-round playoff contest at Mio AuSable on Friday. But what the Wolverines had looked forward to quickly became a Halloween nightmare as the Thunderbolts blasted to a 44-0 halftime lead on the way to a 44-12 Mio victory.
The Thunderbolts (7-3) move on to play for a district championship Friday, Nov. 7, at Bay City All Saints.
"They did exactly what we hoped they wouldn't do," said AGS coach Dr. Scott McAlindon. "They went to a raw power game and they didn't vary from it.
"When they played us the first time, they had a lot of success with it but they tried some other things. This time they stuck with it, and we couldn't stop them."
The Thunderbolts rushed for nearly 400 yards despite the entire second half being played under a running clock.
On top of that, the Wolverines turned the ball over three times in the first half to short-circuit their chances of winning in a high-scoring shootout.
"We didn't protect the ball," McAlindon said. "Once that happened, we really were in trouble.
"They came hard at us. They were there to win. Not that we weren't; we came in feeling pretty confident, and boom-boom-boom, we're down three touchdowns."
Mio took a 22-0 lead in the first quarter on a 14-yard run by Josh Chartier, a 4-yard Michael Kososky run and Garrett Price's 25-yard run.
Kososky added his second touchdown on a 1-yard run, Aaron Smith added a 15-yard run and Kososky hit twin brother Aaron Kososky with a 56-yard scoring pass with less than 30 seconds before halftime.
The Wolverines scored in the fourth quarter on a 10-yard pass from Alex Lutz to Chad Taylor, and Lutz added a 2-yard scoring run late.
Smith led Mio with 156 yards rushing.
For the Wolverines (6-4), Lutz finished with 16-of-30 passing for 181 yards and rushed for 75 yards on 14 carries. Travis Byard had six catches for 43 yards and Taylor added five grabs for 82 yards.
Nathan Trapp led the defense with 11 solo tackles and four assists.
For the Wolverines, it was a tough way to end an otherwise successful season that saw the offense transform from the run-first attack of speedy running backs like Justin and Brandon Kelly to the pass-happy spread attack led by Lutz and receivers like Taylor, Byard, Kyle Gingerich and Colton Liddell.
"I'm proud of our season," McAlindon said. "The seniors were a great group, which is especially nice considering there were so few of them. But I thought we accomplished as much as we could with as few players as we had coming back and all the changes we made."

SAN DIEGO — The Burroughs boys basketball team has made steady progress throughout the summer, and things came together for the Burros in their final summer tournament.
SAN DIEGO — The Burroughs boys basketball team has made steady progress throughout the summer, and things came together for the Burros in their final summer tournament. Burroughs went undefeated at the Grossmont Tournament, winning five games in three days to bring its summer campaign to a successful end.
"I really think we're on the right path — we're where we need to be with the summer ending," Burroughs head coach Doug Hayes said.
Burroughs saved one of its better performances of the summer for its final game of the Grossmont Tournament, a one-point comeback win over Monte Vista (Spring Valley). After a back and forth first half, the Monarchs jumped in front the Burros midway through the second half.
"We got into some foul situations down the stretch, and with about 13 minutes left we quit rebounding as well as we should," Hayes said. "That allowed them to get the lead, which they held for a long time."
Burroughs rallied to tie the game with less than a minute left, and trailed by two with 20 seconds left after a pair of Monte Vista free throws and a turnover. Without the ball the Burros needed their full-court man-to-man defense to create a turnover, and after two straight deflections out of bounds the Monarchs' inbounds pass was deflected to Michael Polman.
Polman drove the length of the court and passed the ball to Caleb Felix, who made a layup, got fouled and knocked down the ensuing free throw to put the Burros ahead one with six seconds left. The Burros' defense didn't allow Monte Vista past half court, and the Monarchs shot a desperation airball as time expired.
"It was hard-fought and they earned it," Hayes said. "We earned every bit of that win and it was kind of a statement to the guys that if we lock it down, play hard, and go at it we're very capable. Monte Vista was extremely athletic and all the way around bigger than we were. That was a very good win for us."
In its second game on Saturday, Burroughs held off University City for a 41-39 victory. The Burros opened up a six-point lead late in the second half and had to hang on down the stretch without starting point guard Michael Polman, whose contact was knocked out of his eye.
"We actually played the last six minutes with Will Christman on the floor while we were trying to get that contact issue fixed," Hayes said. "Will did a great job of handling the pressure and turning and facing the basket better — all of the things that we're working on with him.
"To allow Michael to play as hard as we need him to, we need to have that out of Will. I thought he stepped up and did some really good things that game."
Burroughs beat Olympian (Chula Vista) 70-49 on Friday, Oceanside 58-47 on Saturday and Hilltop (Chula Vista) by 35 on Sunday in its other three tournament wins. The Burros traveled to San Diego without Calvin Martin and Biggie Hernandez, and Hayes said that every player that made the trip played well when given the opportunity.
"We got some big time minutes from our bench guys in a couple of games this weekend — they came into games and not only protected a lead we established, but also extended it. That's really what we're looking for our bench to do in those situations," Hayes said. "It was a huge end of the summer for our bench crew."
During the summer, Hayes said varsity newcomers that improved included Christman, Jaelin Cross, Darnell Prince and Alex Rockwell. He also said he liked what he saw from the returning core of eight players that includes Matthew and Michael Polman, Martin, Alexander Ledford and Tyron Jones.
"Our core guys are producing and steadfast on that path to becoming really good players — it's really fun to watch them develop and be more and more confident in what they are doing," Hayes said. "They're starting to figure it out — here's when I shoot, here's when I drive, here's when I can pass."
Hayes has also been pleased with the progression of the Burros' offense, a motion set that allows for more freedom and decision making. He said he saw the team grow more comfortable with the offense during the past two months.
"It's a freelance-type offense, and to be able to play in that and generate as many points as we have without going to any kind of special plays says a lot about where we are," Hayes said. "The time we spent on the offense was probably the No. 1 thing that we did all summer, becoming more confident and more adaptable in the reads. They have definitely made the right steps to being successful in this system."
Burroughs finishes the summer with a 14-8 record, a mark that doesn't include an eight wins and the championship in the Cerro Coso Tournament where they played a mix of freshman, junior varsity and varsity players. The Burros hope to build on their summer progress when fall practices resume in October, focused on their goal of winning a Desert Sky League title.

iFinity Software
iFinity software operates in the marketplace for the open source DotNetNuke web application platform. The company is positioning itself as a quality provider of software products and services centered around search engine optimisation.
The target audience for the banner ad are people who are actively building and administrating websites built with the DotNetNuke framework. The banner ad will initially be displayed at dotnetnuke.com, the central location for the project.
The aim for the banner ad is specifically for the Url Master module, which can be seen at http://www.ifinity.com.au/Url_Maste…N_SEO_Urls and also at http://url-master.com The tag line for the product is 'total control over DotNetNuke Urls' or a close derivative.
The size required is 180x150 px. I would prefer an animated gif that runs a graphic animation for a few seconds.
The theme I would like for the banner is to revolve around the concept of
"using the software to rank higher in google result pages with very little effort".
The key features of the product are:
- easy installation and use
- creates elegant simple Urls
- full compatibility with DotNetNuke and other modules
- simple to create customised Urls
- elimination of duplicate content
- customised 404 handling
- built-in multi-language support
Note these don't all need to be in an ad, I'm just listing them all to round out the product.
I had a concept of seeing a small representation of a google search page, and a mouse pointer clicking and dragging an entry from the bottom of the page and dropping it at the top. Then some benefits would superimpose, such as 'compatible', 'simple to use', 'simple Urls', and then end up with something like 'ifinity url master - take control of your DotNetNuke Urls'. I'm open to other ideas, I'm looking for someway to visually represent the benefits of better SEO.

At first, Angels veteran Howie Kendrick tried to lay down a bunt.
Then came a hit and run.
Finally, on a full-count pitch, Kendrick stroked the ball into the left-center field gap to score Josh Hamilton with the winning run in the 10th inning to punctuate a wild 3-2 victory Saturday over the Texas Rangers.
"That's about all the signs we have," Kendrick said, laughing.
That is why Angels manager Mike Scioscia loves Kendrick — his ability to do anything in a clutch spot.
"He's a multi-dimensional player," Scioscia said. "He can get the bunt down, he can hit and run and he can drive the ball. He got a 3-2 count and he got ahold of a pitch and split the gap. They gave him one mistake and he did not miss it."
Kendrick bailed out the Angels' much-maligned bullpen and allowed the announced Angels Stadium crowd of 37,026 to enjoy their scheduled fireworks show without interruption.
Hamilton started the 10th-inning rally off his former team with a line-drive single up the middle off the glove of pitcher Neal Cotts.
The Rangers brought in Jason Frasor to pitch to Kendrick, who worked the count full.
With Hamilton running on the pitch, Kendrick rifled a line drive into the wide-open left-center gap to easily score Hamilton with the winning run.
Kendrick rounded second, joyously threw off his helmet and was immediately mobbed by teammates after his fifth career walkoff hit. Fireworks went off and Kendrick got doused with a colorful celebratory sports drink.
"It gets more and more fun," said Kendrick, who has three career walkoffs against the Rangers. "The younger you are, the more pressure you put on yourself. The more experience you get, the more you just try to have a good at-bat and let it happen.
"We've had a lot of walkoffs. Cowgill, Trout. It seems like it's a different guy each time. Last year we had a lot of extra-inning games but we lost quite a few of those."
Lost in the walkoff aftermath was the performance of Angels starter Jered Weaver.
Not only did Weaver keep the Rangers in the park, he kept the Angels in the game.
Weaver threw eight brilliant innings, allowing just one earned run and four hits. He had five strikeouts and two walks and lowered his home career ERA against the Rangers to 2.17 (10 earned runs in 102 2/3 innings).
"Something clicked there going toward the end of the game," Weaver said. "I don't normally look at video, but I compared my last start to myself in 2011 and made a minor adjustment, and everything felt good.
"It was nice to keep us in the game and nice to obviously have Howie come through in a big way."
But Weaver was nearly matched by Rangers rookie Nick Martinez, who took a perfect game into the sixth inning and allowed two earned runs and three hits in seven innings.
Hank Conger seemed to break Martinez's spell with a double down the left field line to start the sixth inning, putting to rest any thoughts about a Kershawian performance. Conger scored on a groundout by rookie Efren Navarro.
Then the Angels appeared poised to win the game when rookie C.J. Cron launched a homer into the left-field stands in the eighth inning that deflected off the outstretched glove of leaping Rangers left-fielder Shin-Soo Choo for his fifth homer, all solo shots.
Cron received a boost of confidence earlier in the day when the Angels gave veteran slugger Raul Ibanez his outright release to free up more at-bats for the rising hitting star.
Especially if Cron keeps up that production.
"You mean a home run a night," Scioscia said, laughing. "C.J. can swing the bat. He's developing into a hitter, and he's not intimidated at the plate. He's gotten some big hits for us."
However, Choo answered in the ninth off Angels closer de jour Kevin Jepsen with a booming solo homer to center field over the leaping Mike Trout for his seventh homer of the season.
Jepsen recovered to strike out two in the ninth. Mike Morin (1-1) worked around a hit batter to strike out the side in the 10th to earn the win.

Currently home to Edge and Spoke, this building was constructed in 1903. Much like the Bill Brown Building, many uses have occupied this structure including a tavern, boarding house, theater, and hardware store.
Lodge Hall also known as Redmond Hardware was built in 1903 and is also one of the oldest remaining wood frame buildings in downtown Redmond. The two story building contains a hand dug cellar beneath the building that is accessible by a trap door from the interior. This trap cellar likely functioned as storage for beer kegs in Redmond's first saloon which was located on the first floor of the building, the upper story was used as a boarding house. By the 1920's the upper story was rented out to the Modern Woodsmen and Insurance Lodge to hold meetings, while dances were held on the first floor.
In 1924, Redmond's first hardware store, Redmond Hardware was opened by Clarence R. Pope. One of the establishments that teen-aged boys sought out for part-time employment, Redmond Hardware embedded itself as a vital part of the community. The building remained a hardware store until 1969 when the stores second owner Arthur "Art" Nesland died.
Lodge Hall has been occupied by a variety of businesses including; a tavern, theater, restaurant, Gerk's Ski and Cycle Shop, and presently Edge and Spoke. The history of Lodge Hall is a rare example of commercial structures in America in the early 1900's and a reminder of the city's early commercial development.

Emasculating Dandy
As if Matthew Broderick wasn't dandified enough…now it turns out Dandy is a Dandy because his wife insists on it. And she's not afraid to share that fact with the public either.
Says SJP - who recently took a shot at Gwen Stefani for pricing regular women out of her clothes, exorbitant of course compared to her own line Bitten retailing for under $20 an item – Matthew has no say in his wardrobe and her authoritarian approach to what he wears has resulted in a sort of style emasculation…as explained in the new issue of Glamour:
"Before he knew me, he felt very confident about dressing on his own. I seem to have sapped his confidence. He thinks I have become an interloper in his closet . . . I buy him so much that he feels it"s taken away his ability to make his own decisions."

Raleigh writer Sarah Shaber is returning to Wilmington this week. Shaber, who mixes a lot of history in her whodunnit novels, will be discussing her World War II mystery "Louise's War" at 11 a.m. Thursday, March 28, for the "Book Talk" series at the Latimer House, 126 S. Third St.
The series is sponsored by the Historical Society of the Lower Cape Fear.
For those who came in late: "Louise's War" is the first of Shaber's World War II mysteries, set in wartime Washington, D.C. Her sleuth is Louise Pearlie, a young widow from Wilmington who lands a job with a brand-new government agency — the OSS, predecessor to the CIA. She's not a spy, just a file clerk, but she keeps her eyes open, and in this opener, she aids a former classmate trying to escape Vichy France.
Shaber has already published a sequel, "Louise's Gamble," and reports that the manuscript for a third, "Louise's Dilemma," has already been shipped to her publisher, Severn House. With any luck, we'll see it later this year.
If you've never been to a Book Talk session, keep in mind: Admission is free, but seating is limited, so the Latimer House staff requests reservations. (The deadline is Monday, March 25.) For a small charge, you can order a bag lunch from Jester's Java and, after the book program, dine with Shaber in the Latimer House tea room.
For details,
call the Latimer House at 762-0492.
Incidentally, the next book talk comes up May 16, featuring Bland Simpson from UNC-Chapel Hill. (He hails from Elizabeth City but his mama was a Wilmington girl.) Simpson will be discussing his latest, "Two Captains from Carolina." One of those captains is none other than John Newland Maffitt, a Confederate naval raider and blockade runner who settled at Wrightsville Beach after the war.
