Using Color Balance
Using Color Balance
In this exercise, I'm going to show you how to neutralize a colorcast using the Color Balance Command, which offers the advantage of being available as an Adjustment layer. In the next exercise, I'll show you what I consider to be a more satisfactory command variation. However, you have to apply it as a static adjustment. I've gone ahead and opened this image called Tough boys.jpg. It is of course my two boys as captured in the cabin of a cruise ship. And the image photographed under incandescent light is too warm. What I need to do is cool it down.
So take it away from the reds and the yellows and so on. And I'm going to do that using Color Balance. So I could either go up to the Image menu, choose Adjustments and choose the Color Balance Command right there. Or my preferred way of working is to go over to the Adjustments panel here, and click on this little guy. I don't think that icon could possibly make any more sense. It's obviously a balance. Go ahead and Alt+Cl...

There are certain words I can never remember how to spell. Hors d'oeuvre. Conscientious. Liaison. Floccinaucinihilipilification. Quertermous. Bryon.
A certain writer I know has the misfortune of having not one but two of those tricky words in his name. Tough break for you, Conscientious Liaison! Maybe that's why you've never sold a book. Time to try a pen name, methinks.
And then there's good old Bryon Quertermous, who hasn't let a spell check-befuddling name stand in his way. He's been active on the crime fiction scene for years, first as a short story writer and fanboy/gadfly, later as an editor, and most recently as an author. His first novel, Murder Boy, tells the story of Dominick Prince, a wannabe writer who takes extreme measures (kidnapping is extreme, right?) when a teacher flunks him because his crime fiction isn't literary enough. Hilarity ensues. And murder. A recently published followup, Riot Load, found Prince stumbling into a wild, hyper-violent sperm heist.
And for this alone, Bryon Quertermous, I shall love you forever: You made it possible for me to type the words "a wild, hyper-violent sperm heist."
The perpetually bumbling, flummoxed, neurotic Prince is one of the most interesting and unique crime fiction protagonists I've run across in a long, long time. Not just because he's so obviously a reflection of the author. Because he's a warts-and-all, fun house mirror reflection -- warped, distorted and portrayed with what feels like a relentless self-loathing. Which is what led me to my first question when I got the chance to engage Byron...dammit! Engage Bryon in an email Q&A.
Me: Having just finished reading Riot Load, I've got to ask...how ya feelin', buddy?
Bryon: I'm feeling great, now. But back in my late twenties I was awful. I was awful inside and awful outside. I was broke and wandering and confused as a writer and as a person. I'd made a lot of questionable life choices and botched some really great opportunities folks had given me. I'd tried writing a couple of novels glamorizing this time in my life but they failed miserably. It wasn't until I had the perspective that only comes with age that I was able to look back and really lay into that version of me. I was very, very lucky to survive that time in my life relatively unscathed and have a great life now. Dominic got the raw end of that life and his bad choices have awful consequences for himself and for everyone he comes into contact with.
Me: Dominic definitely takes a beating -- both literally and metaphorically -- in Riot Load. It makes for a really interesting mix of wackiness and tragedy. Is that what you were aiming for? Or do you not think about your intent so much when you get started? There's an almost stream-of-consciousness vibe to the book that gives me the feeling you're a "pantser" who writes straight from the gut. Or maybe you're just good at faking it.
Bryon: I think using the word intentional for anything involving this book is trouble. It's the unintentional second book in a series I had no idea I was writing when I started the first book. But once I had really gone all in with the stream-of-consciousness, anything-can-happen vibe in the first book, I wanted to push that even further with the second book. I ran into trouble about halfway through when I kept trying to force it to be a caper novel and it really had no interest in being a caper novel. I was chatting with a friend at the same time I was working my way through some of Elmore Leonard's early books I had missed. We were talking about 52 Pick-Up and she mentioned that she liked how mean it was. And it is mean. And that's what was missing from Riot Load early on. While I would never call it anything close to realistic, I could see this character developing on his own away from the very obvious avatar he had been for me in the first book and I was seeing some effects of the awful things that had happened to him. He was still an idiot and still made bad decisions, but he was also getting meaner and once I decided to go along with that, the book rolled and I had a riot with it.
As far as the mix of wackiness and tragedy, that's just how I operate. I can't commit to any one emotional state for too long or I start to roll my eyes. Stuff that is too tragic seems melodramatic to me and stuff that is too wacky seems ridiculous to me. While the actions and storyline may be absurd, the emotions in this book are real and these are some very confused and unhappy people, so there was going to be tragedy.
Me: Is it safe to assume a third book in the series is on its way? It doesn't feel like Dominick's done changing...or f-ing up.
Bryon: Yes. I'm writing the final book in the trilogy right now. It's called Trigger Switch, and I've been pitching it as Dominick's transition from Dortmunder to Parker. I had originally planned on being done with the character after the second book, but by the time I wrote the ending of Riot Load I knew I needed one more book to complete his transformation.
Me: It's interesting that a character who started out being a variation on you has strayed so far from the original model. Is that just storytelling at work? You went where the muses took you, and Dominick had to be altered by the journey? Or is the shift a reflection of a change in your own self image and how you see yourself as a writer?
Bryon: I think, at his core, Dominick still has a lot of me in him, but as the books have progressed and my storytelling sense has progressed and my life has progressed he's gone from being a reflection of me at certain points in my life to being an outlet for the parts of me I'm less enamored of, like my anger and my temper. One of the key moments in my life happened during the writing of this book and that was losing a job I saw as my dream job. I was an editor for the new crime fiction imprint of a respected publisher and had a lot of freedom to pursue my passions in publishing and travel and have a voice in the industry, all while working from home. It was amazing and then it was ripped away from me. That bred a lot of anger and bitterness in me about the publishing industry, about art, about writing, and about my life. Meanwhile my obsession with social media was feeding into this anger by loading me up with nothing but bad news and national horrors. So I was in a foul mood while I wrote a lot of this book and instead of pushing that away, I embraced it and used it. Obviously I can't imagine doing that for a long-running series without burning out and losing the magic of what makes this weird mess work and I'm already itching to work on something that I can paint with more subtle tones and a little more slow burning.
Me: Do you have specific ideas you want to move on to next? If so, do they all fall within the crime genre? I'm tormented (in a First World Problems, writer way) by all the different ideas and creative impulses I have and how they're constantly shifting. If I had a theme song, it would be "My Ever Changing Moods."
Bryon: I have one very specific project I want to work on next, the ever popular Big Commercial Novel that I think I'm finally ready to write, but I do have other ideas I want to explore in the urban fantasy and cyberpunk realms that have elements of crime fiction but also cool stuff like robots and monsters.
Me: What would be your goal for the BCN? Do you feel like you should write it because that's what crime writers do at some point, and the time might be right for you soon? Or is it more organic than that -- you had an idea you liked, you realized "This feels like a BCN," et voila? I accepted a long time ago that I don't have a BCN in me. Which is sort of a bummer but liberating, too.
Bryon: I always wanted to write a Big Commercial Novel, but my first few attempts turned out as Big Pretentious Messes instead. I kept getting too caught up in the idea of the crime novel as social novel and spending time dawdling with the book's mission to the world without remembering to work on things like characters and plotting. Also, it turns out that I'm not all that socially inclined in my writing, at least not that way. I love satire and making huge grandiose gestures of humor and sarcasm to address what I see as the problems of the world. But after this trilogy I think I've had my satirical say for the time being and I want to focus more on big emotion. Ever since I've been a parent, the idea of parental grief and surviving the loss of a child has been an obsession of mine. I think too much about it and think society as a whole thinks too much about it and our kids are suffering because instead of dealing with imaginary grief head on, parents try to protect their kids to a ridiculous degree in, I think, a selfish attempt to never have to really deal with parental grief. But I'm lucky. I have a creative outlet to address this with. So that's what I want to do with my BCN: tap into this massive shared imaginary grief of parents, or really anyone who is afraid of losing someone.
Me: Yowza -- sounds like you've got all the Big Ideas you need for a BCN. Or a BN, anyway. "Commercial" can be a tricky thing to get a bead on, especially when it comes to literature. But let's say the BCN is a BGDBS (Big God Damn Best-Seller). What would you do next? Or, to put the question another (more cliched) way: What do you hope you're doing with your writing in five, 10, 20 years?
Bryon: I think Big Novel is a great way to describe it. Bigger canvas, bigger palate, bigger expectations. And yes, commercial can be so very tricky and my interests and style have never run particularly close to the commercial center, but I want to keep trying. As far as long-term hopes go, I still hold out hopes for an old fashioned-style book-a-year career. If the next book hit it big, I have another idea in mind to immediately capitalize on that success that is the ever elusive "same but different" that readers crave. I used to think I wanted to write a long-running series, but after three books I'm already sick of these characters and ready to do something else. So I see doing more stand-alone books or trilogies in the future. I'd also really like to do movie work. I know television is the in thing now and that's where everyone is clamoring, but I adore the movies and want to write adaptations of my own stuff and adaptations of other people's stuff and even original work. I have this weird desire to take something strange, like a board game, and figure out a way to make it into something awesome. I think the original Pirates of the Caribbean movie and The Lego Movie are great examples of really good writers taking incredibly stupid ideas and making something awesome out of them. Maybe I'll be the guy who writes the first movie to win an Oscar based on a breakfast cereal.
Did I mention I have a new book out? No? Well, I do! Nick and Tesla's Solar-Powered Showdown came out a few weeks ago. It's the sixth installment in the middle-grade mystery series I do with "Science Bob" Pflugfelder, and School Library Journal says it has "just the right amount of suspense, action and science to entice a wide array of readers."
Did I also mention that I have another new book out? No? Well, I do! The Wrong Wrights came out a few weeks ago. It's the first installment in the middle-grade science/adventure series I do with "Co-Writin' Chris" Kientz and "Illustrated Artistic-Lee" Nielsen, and School Library Journal says it's "a fun and action-packed exploration of aviation."
Did I also mention that I don't have another new book out? No? Well, I don't! Give the Devil His Due didn't come out a few weeks ago (though it was originally scheduled to). It's the third installment in the tarot-themed mystery series I do with "Just Lisa, Please" Falco, and School Library Journal has nothing to say about it -- but my editor's been saying "Where the hell is it, Hockensmith?"
Did I also mention that multitasking isn't one of my strong suits? No? Well, it's not! I had three projects to write last year, and only two of them got done.
Did I also mention that Give the Devil His Due is finally finished? No? Well, how could I have? I just finished it!
Did I also mention that I'm very, very tired and I'm going to bed? No? Well, I am! Good night!
I was struggling to talk my family into watching True Grit with me recently -- not even the old one! the new one! -- and my wife hit me with this: "I don't want to see a movie about cowboys."
Imagine that sentence with "cowboys" replaced with "certified accountants." Or "refrigerators." Or "fertilizer." That's how excited my wife sounded by "a movie about cowboys." (Sorry, certified accountants.)
And here's the thing: There aren't even any cowboys in True Grit! It's not about a cattle drive or cattle rustling or cattle anything. THERE ARE NO COWS! But for some people, unfortunately, Stetsons = cowboys = "cowboy movie" = fertilizer.
Forgive them, Louis L'Amour! They know not what they do!
I'm thinking about all this because I was talking Westerns with a book-loving buddy this week, and when I sent him a list of recommended novels I was struck by what a diverse herd it was. Yes, they're all set in the American West in the second half of the 19th century (or close to it) -- prime Western real estate. But in tone, style, message and intent they're all over the map...and sometimes they're so far out they go clear off the map altogether.
My Five Favorite Western (Not Cowboy!) Novels
Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
So there are these cowboys, see, and they have to get this herd to...doh! O.K, yes -- there are cowboys in my favorite Western novel. And there are cows. Lots and lots of cows. But not only is it the most enthralling novel about cowboys and cows I've ever read, it's one of the most enthralling novels about people I've ever read. I mean, when Blue Duck kills that kid and that deputy dude I actually burst into tears. LARRY McMURTRY, YOU MADE ME CRY!!! And I love you for it.
True Grit by Charles Portis
You want to know why it's been made into a movie twice? And why both movies are really good? Because the book is bleeping great. The hero -- doggedly determined 14-year-old dynamo Mattie Ross -- is one of the most unique, funny, authentic first-person narrator's ever. For my money, the only novel that comes close, first-person genius-wise, is a little gem called --
Little Big Man by Thomas Berger
Funny, sad, silly, profound, sarcastic, sincere, light, dark. And did I mention funny? But sad? Oh, I did? Maybe my memory's not so reliable anymore. Kind of like 111-year-old Jack Crabb, the narrator of this haunting (but hilarious!) look back at the Way the West Was Won (and our innocence was lost).
Appaloosa by Robert B. Parker
Parker took the stripped down, minimalist style of an old detective novel, applied it to the Western and voila! (to use a very un-Western phrase): a classic. Parker's three sequels about deadly-but-honorable guns-for-hire Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch quickly descend into lazy self parody, but the book that kicked off the series is pure pleasure.
The Shootist by Glendon Swarthout
An old gunslinger gets ready to die...and hopes it's a good death. That's about it. There's a little action in the beginning, a little action at the end, and lots of talking in between. And it works beautifully. Swarthout also wrote The Homesman, which has a fantastic premise and an execution so sexist, wrong-headed and discursive it made me furious. But hey -- all (or most) is forgiven, Glendon. Because The Shootist still rocks.
Honorable mention: Deadwood by Pete Dexter, The Hawkline Monster by Richard Brautigan, Cottonwood by Scott Phillips, The Thicket by Joe Lansdale, The Hanging Tree by Dorothy M. Johnson, Monte Walsh by Jack Schaefer and Doc by Mary Doria Russell (though, man, does she let Wyatt Earp off the hook -- that guy was a scumbag!).
Oh, and by the way -- my wife and daughter did watch True Grit with me. And they loved it.
As the cowboys might say: Yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaa!!!!

Biosynthesis of mycobacterial arabinogalactan: identification of a novel α(1→3) arabinofuranosyltransferase

The cell wall mycolyl-arabinogalactan–peptidoglycan complex is essential in mycobacterial species, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is the target of several antitubercular drugs. For instance, ethambutol targets arabinogalactan biosynthesis through inhibition of the arabinofuranosyltransferases Mt-EmbA and Mt-EmbB. A bioinformatics approach identified putative integral membrane proteins, MSMEG2785 in Mycobacterium smegmatis, Rv2673 in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and NCgl1822 in Corynebacterium glutamicum, with 10 predicted transmembrane domains and a glycosyltransferase motif (DDX), features that are common to the GT-C superfamily of glycosyltransferases. Deletion of M. smegmatis MSMEG2785 resulted in altered growth and glycosyl linkage analysis revealed the absence of AG α(1→3)-linked arabinofuranosyl (Araf) residues. Complementation of the M. smegmatis deletion mutant was fully restored to a wild-type phenotype by MSMEG2785 and Rv2673, and as a result, we have now termed this previously uncharacterized open reading frame, arabinofuranosyltransferase C (aftC). Enzyme assays using the sugar donor β-d-arabinofuranosyl-1-monophosphoryl-decaprenol (DPA) and a newly synthesized linear α(1→5)-linked Ara5 neoglycolipid acceptor together with chemical identification of products formed, clearly identified AftC as a branching α(1→3) arabinofuranosyltransferase. This newly discovered glycosyltransferase sheds further light on the complexities of Mycobacterium cell wall biosynthesis, such as in M. tuberculosis and related species and represents a potential new drug target.

Ron Chernow, whom the New York Times called "as elegant an architect of monumental histories as we've seen in decades", now brings to startling life the man who was arguably the most important figure in American history, who never attained the presidency, but who had a far more lasting impact than many who did.
"An Outstanding & Riveting Book!"
Dinesh D'Souza, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller America, is back with this darkly entertaining deconstruction of Hillary Clinton's flawed character and ideology. From her Alinskyite past to her hopes for America's progressive future, the presumptive Democratic nominee is revealed to be little more than a political gangster intent on controlling the nation's wealth.
"Must Read!"
Abigail Adams offers a fresh perspective on the famous events of Adams's life, and along the way, Woody Holton, a renowned historian of the American Revolution, takes on numerous myths about the men and women of the founding era. But the book also demonstrates that domestic dramas---from unplanned pregnancies to untimely deaths---could be just as heartbreaking, significant, and inspiring as the actions of statesmen and soldiers.
"A Remarkable Woman"
Here is Trump in action - how he runs his organization and how he runs his life - as he meets the people he needs to meet, chats with family and friends, clashes with enemies, and challenges conventional thinking. But even a maverick plays by rules, and Trump has formulated time-tested guidelines for success. He isolates the common elements in his greatest accomplishments; he shatters myths; he names names, spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal maker's art.
"Great way to understand who he is"
When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive. Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York.
"So much more than expected..."
Nearly a half century into being a feminist and legal pioneer, something funny happened to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The octogenarian won the Internet. Across America, people who weren't even born when Ginsburg made her name are tattooing themselves with her face, setting her famously searing dissents to music, and making viral videos in tribute.
"Great story about a fascinating person, however..."
Benjamin Franklin is the founding father who winks at us - an ambitious urban entrepreneur who rose up the social ladder, from leather-aproned shopkeeper to dining with kings. In best-selling author Walter Isaacson's vivid and witty full-scale biography, we discover why Franklin turns to us from history's stage with eyes that twinkle from behind his new-fangled spectacles. In Benjamin Franklin, Isaacson shows how Franklin defines both his own time and ours. The most interesting thing that Franklin invented, and continually reinvented, was himself.
"Good book, not crazy about the narrator"
In Washington: A Life celebrated biographer Ron Chernow provides a richly nuanced portrait of the father of our nation. This crisply paced narrative carries the reader through his troubled boyhood, his precocious feats in the French and Indian War, his creation of Mount Vernon, his heroic exploits with the Continental Army, his presiding over the Constitutional Convention, and his magnificent performance as America's first president.
"Great book!"
Hillary Rodham Clinton's inside account of the crises, choices, and challenges she faced during her four years as America's 67th Secretary of State, and how those experiences drive her view of the future. In the aftermath of her 2008 presidential run, she expected to return to representing New York in the United States Senate. To her surprise, her former rival for the Democratic Party nomination, newly elected President Barack Obama, asked her to serve in his administration as Secretary of State. This memoir is the story of the four extraordinary and historic years that followed.
"An Excellent book on Modern History"
McCullough's John Adams has the sweep and vitality of a great novel. This is history on a grand scale, an audiobook about politics, war, and social issues, but also about human nature, love, religious faith, virtue, ambition, friendship, and betrayal, and the far-reaching consequences of noble ideas. Above all, it is an enthralling, often surprising story of one of the most important and fascinating Americans who ever lived.
"An outstanding biography"
On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry. Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war.
"Beautiful, Heartbreaking, and Informative"
The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in 25 years than the Romans did in 400. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization.
"Brilliant, insightful, intriguing."
In this magnificent biography, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Lion and Franklin and Winston brings vividly to life an extraordinary man and his remarkable times. Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power gives us Jefferson the politician and president, a great and complex human being forever engaged in the wars of his era. Philosophers think; politicians maneuver. Jefferson's genius was that he was both and could do both, often simultaneously. Such is the art of power.
"A Man and Biography Relevant to Our Day"
Meditations is former U.S. President Bill Clinton's favorite book. This audio consists of a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor 161-180 AD, setting forth his ideas on Stoic philosophy.
"The reading made it impossible to focus on content"
History remembers Robert F. Kennedy as a racial healer, a tribune for the poor, and the last progressive knight of a bygone era of American politics. But Kennedy's enshrinement in the liberal pantheon was actually the final stage of a journey that had its beginnings in the conservative 1950s. In Bobby Kennedy, Larry Tye peels away layers of myth and misconception to paint a complete portrait of this singularly fascinating figure.
"For 11 brief shining hours Larry Tye brings RFK back to life with all warts and promise"
In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father, a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man, has been killed in a car accident.
"A wonderful, insightful, non-political story"
Andrew Roberts' Napoleon is the first one-volume biography to take advantage of the recent publication of Napoleon's thirty-three thousand letters, which radically transform our understanding of his character and motivation. At last we see him as he was: protean multitasker, decisive, surprisingly willing to forgive his enemies and his errant wife Josephine.
"Excellent Book"
In Clouds of Glory: The Life and Legend of Robert E. Lee, Michael Korda, the New York Times best-selling biographer of Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ulysses S. Grant, and T. E. Lawrence, has written the first major biography of Lee in nearly 20 years, bringing to life America's greatest and most iconic hero. Korda paints a vivid and admiring portrait of Lee as a general and a devoted family man
"A brilliant Man"
"secret genius"
Hailed by critics as an American masterpiece, David McCullough's sweeping biography of Harry S. Truman captured the heart of the nation. The life and times of the 33rd president of the United States, Truman provides a deeply moving look at an extraordinary, singular American.
"That Mousy Little Man From Missouri Revisited"
In this autobiography, Jimmy Carter details the youth and experiences that led him to seek the highest office in the land. He describes his idyllic childhood, his naval career, his strong Christian underpinnings, and the values of his mother and father.
In this book, you will learn how the author of the Federalist Papers and the first Secretary of the Treasury nearly ruined his career by fighting duels, seducing women, and getting involved in America's first sex scandal. The duel that killed Alexander Hamilton is the most famous duel in American history, but you'll have to come up with your own answer to its greatest mystery: who shot first, Hamilton or Burr?
When Lee H. Hamilton joined Congress in 1965 as a US Representative from southern Indiana, he began writing commentaries for his constituents describing his experiences, impressions, and developing views of what was right and wrong in American politics. He continued to write regularly throughout his 34 years in office and up to the present. Lively and full of his distinctive insights, Hamilton's essays provide vivid accounts of national milestones over the past 50 years.
President Bill Clinton's My Life is the strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided early in life to devote his intellectual and political gifts, and his extraordinary capacity for hard work, to serving the public. It shows us the progress of a remarkable American who, through his own enormous energies and efforts, made the unlikely journey from Hope, Arkansas, to the White House - a journey fueled by an impassioned interest in the political process that manifested itself at every stage of his life.
In 1999 John McCain wrote one of the most acclaimed and best-selling memoirs of the decade, Faith of My Fathers. That book ended in 1972, with McCain's release from imprisonment in Vietnam. This is the rest of his story, about his great American journey from the US Navy to his electrifying run for the presidency, interwoven with heartfelt portraits of the mavericks who have inspired him through the years - Ted Williams, Theodore Roosevelt, visionary aviation proponent Billy Mitchell, Marlon Brando in Viva Zapata!, and, most indelibly, Robert Jordan.
Lyndon Orr published his story of Aaron Burr in 1912 within his Famous Affinities of History. Here he briefly and simply compares Burr's life with Alexander Hamilton's and attempts to dispel some of the negative opinions that surrounded him as the "villain" who shot and killed one of the Founding Fathers of the USA in a duel. Orr also describes Burr's strong relationships and the mysteries surrounding the women in his life, particularly his daughter.
John Boyd may be the most remarkable unsung hero in all of American military history. Some remember him as the greatest US fighter pilot ever - the man who, in simulated air-to-air combat, defeated every challenger in less than 40 seconds. Some recall him as the father of our country's most legendary fighter aircraft - the F-15 and F-16. Still, others think of Boyd as the most influential military theorist since Sun Tzu. They know only half the story.
Andrew Jackson remains one of the most controversial presidents of the United States. This biography, written for ages 12 and up, reports on his life, friends, war, and family. It also explains the choices that Andrew Jackson made while he was president to make him both loved and hated.
From the National Book Award-winning and best-selling author Timothy Egan comes the epic story of one of the most fascinating and colorful Irishman in 19th-century America. The Irish-American story, with all its twists and triumphs, is told through the improbable life of one man. A dashing young orator during the Great Famine of the 1840s, in which a million of his Irish countrymen died, Thomas Francis Meagher led a failed uprising against British rule, for which he was banished to a Tasmanian prison colony.
In this, the third volume of the work, William Hazlitt takes us through the a critical period in Napoleon's life: his leadership of France as first consul. He shows us how the political developments of the time coincided with Napoleon's personal development, the experiences that convinced him that France needed a new leader, and how he came to believe that he himself was that leader. This volume ends with the greatest transition of all, from first consul to emperor.
Without Churchill's inspiring leadership, Britain could not have survived its darkest hour and repelled the Nazi menace. Without his wife, Clementine, however, he might never have become Prime Minister. By his own admission, the Second World War would have been 'impossible without her'. Clementine was Winston's emotional rock and his most trusted confidante. Yet her ability to charm Britain's allies and her humanitarian efforts on the home front earned her deep respect.
Ever since Donald Trump entered the presidential race - in a press conference attended by paid actors, in which he slandered Mexican immigrants - he has dominated headlines, becoming the unrestrained id at the center of one of the most bizarre and alarming elections in American history. It was not always so. In 1996, longtime New Yorker writer Mark Singer was conscripted by his editor to profile Donald Trump. At that time Trump was a mere Manhattan-centric megalomaniac, a failing casino operator mired in his second divorce.
"Hilarious & Terrifying Simultaneously"
Eleanor Roosevelt was born into the privileges and prejudices of American aristocracy and into a family ravaged by alcoholism. She overcame debilitating roots: in her public life, fighting against racism and injustice and advancing the rights of women; and in her private life, forming lasting intimate friendships with some of the great men and women of her time.
Historians, politicians, feminists, critics, and reviewers everywhere have praised Blanche Wiesen Cook's monumental Eleanor Roosevelt as the definitive portrait of this towering female figure of the 20th century. Now, in her long-awaited, majestic second volume, Cook takes listeners through the tumultuous era of the Great Depression, the New Deal, and the gathering storms of World War II - the years of the Roosevelts' greatest challenges and finest achievements.
Jimmy Carter Jr., is an American politician and author who served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the Carter Center. Carter, a Democrat raised in rural Georgia, was a peanut farmer who served two terms as a Georgia State Senator, from 1963 to 1967, and one as the Governor of Georgia, from 1971 to 1975. He was elected President in 1976, defeating incumbent President Gerald Ford in a relatively close election.
Ron Chernow's 2010 biography Washington: A Life is a Pulitzer Prize-winning account of George Washington's life from birth to death. It is based on newly available archival material from the most recent edition of Washington's papers, which allows Chernow to focus on Washington as a public and especially as a private figure. For example, the biography dwells on Washington's relationship with his difficult mother, Mary.
Political analyst and Democratic campaign veteran Mark Hannah gives Barack Obama the victory lap he deserves in this compendium that takes the president's critics head-on and celebrates the president's many underappreciated triumphs.
Please note: This is summary and analysis of the book and not the original book. David McCullough's John Adams is a biography designed to establish Adams's place beside, or even above, better known figures such as Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington in the pantheon of national founders. Adams was the son of a farmer in the small town of Braintree, Massachusetts.
The decade of the 1790s has been called the age of passion. Fervor ran high as rival factions battled over the course of the new republic - each side convinced that the others' goals would betray the legacy of the Revolution so recently fought and so dearly won. All understood as well that what was at stake was not a moment's political advantage, but the future course of the American experiment in democracy. In this epochal debate, no two figures loomed larger than Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.
"Well presented and insightful"
An inspiring story of a modern American icon, here is the first comprehensive account of the life and times of Michelle Obama. With disciplined reporting and a storyteller's eye for revealing detail, Peter Slevin follows Michelle to the White House from her working-class childhood on Chicago's largely segregated South Side. He illuminates her tribulations at Princeton University and Harvard Law School during the racially charged 1980s and the dilemmas she faced in Chicago.
"Inspiring life story"
This is the story of the rise to national power of a desperately poor young man from the Texas Hill Country. The Path to Power reveals in extraordinary detail the genesis of the almost superhuman drive, energy, and ambition that set LBJ apart. It follows him from the Hill Country to New Deal Washington, from his boyhood through the years of the Depression to his debut as Congressman, his heartbreaking defeat in his first race for the Senate, and his attainment, nonetheless, at age 31, of the national power for which he hungered.
"The Best of all Biographies"
Robert A. Caro's life of Lyndon Johnson continues - one of the richest, most intensive, and most revealing examinations ever undertaken of an American President. The Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer/historian carries Johnson through his service in World War II and the foundation of his long-concealed fortune and the facts behind the myths he created about it. But the explosive heart of the book is Caro's revelation of the true story of the fiercely contested 1948 senatorial election.
""If You Do Everything, You'll Win""
J. B. West, chief usher of the White House, directed the operations and maintenance of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue - and coordinated its daily life - at the request of the president and his family. He directed state functions; planned parties, weddings, funerals, gardens, playgrounds, and extensive renovations; and with a large staff, supervised every activity in the presidential home.
Hailed as the most compelling biography of the German dictator yet written, Ian Kershaw's Hitler brings us closer than ever before to the heart of its subject's immense darkness. From his illegitimate birth in a small Austrian village to his fiery death in a bunker under the Reich chancellery in Berlin, Adolf Hitler left a murky trail, strewn with contradictory tales and overgrown with self-created myths. One truth prevails: the sheer scale of the evils that he unleashed on the world has made him a demonic figure without equal in the 20th century.
In this lively and compelling biography, Harlow Giles Unger reveals the dominant political figure of a generation. A fierce fighter in four critical Revolutionary War battles and a courageous survivor of Valley Forge and a near-fatal wound at the Battle of Trenton, James Monroe (1751 - 1831) went on to become America's first full-time politician, dedicating his life to securing America's national and international durability.
"Readable, but more hero worship than history"
In this fresh and lively biography rich in literary analysis and new historical detail, Fred Kaplan brings into focus the dramatic life of John Quincy Adams - the little known and much misunderstood sixth president of the United States and the first son of John and Abigail Adams - and persuasively demonstrates how Adams's inspiring, progressive vision guided his life and helped shape the course of America.
"Freshly retired 71 yr old lawyer"
Princess describes the life of Princess Sultana Al Sa'ud, a princess in the royal house of Saudi Arabia. Hidden behind her black veil, she is a prisoner, jailed by her father, her husband, and her country. Sultana tells of appalling oppressions, everyday occurrences that in any other culture would be seen as shocking human rights violations: 13-year-old girls forced to marry men five times their age; young women killed by drowning, stoning, or isolation in the "women's room". Princess is a testimony to a woman of indomitable spirit and courage.
One of the classic volumes of autobiography, My Early Life is a lively and colourful account of a young man's quest for action, adventure and danger. Churchill's schooldays are undistinguished, but he is admitted to Sandhurst and embarks on a career as a soldier and a war correspondent, seeing action in Cuba, in India, in the Sudan - where he took part in the battle of Omdurman, of which he gives us a stirring account - and finally in South Africa.
"The Adventures of a Glow Worm"
French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre said that "words are loaded pistols". In the hands of Russ Baker, they are hydrogen bombs. On each and every page of his masterpiece, Family of Secrets, he explodes the myths and lies that powerful forces have perpetrated on the American consciousness. He digs beneath the surface in a form of journalistic archeology to reveal the hidden history of one of America's most powerful families, leaving no stone unturned.
"Still Relevant, Impossible to Put Down"
In his introduction to The Life of Abraham Lincoln, Henry Ketcham notes that there has been so much written about Lincoln that the legend has begun to obscure, if not to efface, the man. "In this biography the single purpose has been to present the living man with such distinctness of outline that the reader may have a sort of feeling of being acquainted with him."
"Good overview of Lincoln's life"
In this groundbreaking epic biography, Douglas Brinkley draws on never-before-published materials to examine the life and achievements of our "naturalist president." By setting aside more than 230 million acres of wild America for posterity between 1901 and 1909, Theodore Roosevelt made conservation a universal endeavor. This crusade for the American wilderness was perhaps the greatest U.S. presidential initiative between the Civil War and World War I.
Michael Bloomberg is not only New York City's 108th mayor; he is a business genius and self-made billionaire. He has run the toughest city in America with an independence and show of ego that first brought him great success and eventually threatened it. Yet while Bloomberg is internationally known and admired, few people know the man behind the carefully crafted public persona.
"A great and relevant read"
Bernie Sanders' campaign for the presidency of the United States has galvanized supporters all over the country, drawing attention to issues of economic, racial, and social justice and spotlighting one of the most interesting and unconventional candidates in decades.
"Behind the Scenes with Bernie--- WORTH it!"
At the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, the British Empire withdrew from India, igniting the exhilaration and turmoil of a newly free society. In this vivid, atmospheric popular history, Alex von Tunzelmann chronicles these times through the most prominent figures.
"Such an interesting piece of History made easy"
A rousing tale of espionage and unsung valor, this is the captivating true story of Vera Atkins, Great Britain's spymistress from the age of 25. With her fierce intelligence, blunt manner, personal courage, and exceptional informants, Vera ran countless missions throughout the 1930s. After rising to the leadership echelon in the Special Operations Executive (SOE), a covert intelligence agency formed by Winston Churchill, she became head of a clandestine army in World War II.
"Great Story - Unfortunately Monotone Performance"
A century after his death, Grigory Rasputin remains fascinating: the Russian peasant with hypnotic eyes who befriended Tsar Nicholas II and helped destroy the Russian Empire, but the truth about his strange life has never fully been told. Written by the world's leading authority on Rasputin, this new biography draws on previously closed Soviet archives to offer new information on Rasputin's relationship with Empress Alexandra, sensational revelations about his sexual conquests, a re-examination of his murder, and more.
"The Legend of Rasputin"
Theodore Roosevelt in the Badlands chronicles the turbulent years Roosevelt spent as a rancher in the Badlands of Dakota Territory, following the sudden deaths on February 14, 1884, of his wife, two days after giving birth, and of his mother. Grief-stricken - and driven by doubts about his career after failed attempts as a reformer fighting political corruption -the young, Harvard-educated New York politician left his infant daughter in his sister's care and went to live on a Badlands ranch he had bought a year earlier.

Cole and Lizzy's story is truly one you don't see very often. Their connection and love for each other is absolutely beautiful. I enjoyed the way Lizzy was with Cole and she didn't let her emotions control everything. It was refreshing to see a character who didn't fly off the handle when something happened to cause her to question her man...until the proof was in her face. Even then, she trusted their connection enough to find the truth in it.
I enjoyed this book a lot.
White trash from the wrong side of the tracks meets high society's golden boy and a bond is formed that only strengthens with time! Julia Goda has a way of spinning a story that cannot be categorized as only a romance. Her first book in the Girl series, Wrong Side Girl is exceptionally well done. The characters are bigger than life while staying realistic and the storyline is action packed. The relationship Ms. Goda builds between her two main characters is a story you will want to read more than once. Lizzy and Cole's journey from childhood into adulthood is heartbreaking, moving, sizzling and finally a happily ever after!
Lizzy childhood was spent with an abusive and neglectful mother. She was a mother that became known as the town whore, a woman that liked to party hard and drown her memories. On Lizzy's tenth birthday, she met a boy that changed her world. He became her best friend, protector, her family and the only person that cared for her. As they grew into adults, their bond became stronger and to Lizzy the only thing that would make it better is if Cole could be hers. But dreams like that don't come true for a girl like her from the wrong side of town.
From the moment he found Lizzy crying in her special place, twelve year old Cole she became his. His protective instincts and possessiveness grew as they matured. He tried to keep his hands off of her, because he did not feel worthy of the beautiful woman his Lizzy had turned into. It became impossible for him to deny his feelings for her and that left only one thing for him to do, claim her. But because of the years he spent running and hiding his true feelings for her, he had earned a reputation as a love and leave him guy.Read more ›
A girl from the wrong side of the tracks meeting a boy who'll change her live irrevocably.
Lizzy and Cole are one of those couple that are fated and destined to be with one another for the long term.
Of course life isn't all sunshine and roses and the years pass by without them being actually together.
Lizzy has always been in love with Cole and vice verse, although he wasn't one to be settled down all that quickly but couldn't help to go all alpha male on her either.
So when the fates finally seem to be in favor of them it'll go quick and it'll be fierce.
You think that's it? Wrong again.
Some major curve balls will be thrown at them and their relationship will be thoroughly tested before they'll finally get their happily ever after.
A book full of intrigues, alpha male goodness and an epic love story!
* Written in dual p.o.v.
* Contains flashbacks
"Cole has been Lizzy's best friend from the moment he found her crying in the woods two weeks before her tenth birthday. Growing up without a father, Lizzy was raised by her alcoholic and drug-addicted mother. Being branded as the town whore's daughter, she had one bright spot in her dark world: Cole. He was the one constant in her life, the only person she trusted would never let her down.
He's her savior, her protector…and the secret love of her life.
Now, sixteen years later, they both live successful lives in Boston. But while Lizzy still harbors hope that one day Cole will come around and see what's right in front of his eyes, Cole enjoys his bachelor lifestyle with no intentions of slowing down.
It's time for Lizzy to move on.
Cole has been in love with Lizzy since he can remember. Those gorgeous but sad green eyes of hers have held him captive since he was twelve years old.
But she is too pure, too perfect, too innocent for him and his lustful and promiscuous thoughts.
He has promised himself he won't touch her.
That is, until he doesn't have a choice but to claim her as his or lose her forever.
Is it possible for them to have what both their hearts desire or will the cruelty of life keep them apart?"
*** WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! This is the first book of Julia Goda I read and I love this author already. What a great love story! I LOVED IT! This is a friends to lovers book, one of my favorites. This book is written in dual POV and alternating past and present which I really like because you get to see what is in both of the characters' minds.
Lizzy has a very difficult childhood but she is strong and determined to leave the past behind.Read more ›

Marlins' Oviedo suspended 8 weeks for ID fraud
Associated Press | Last updated May 28, 2012
Miami Marlins pitcher Juan Carlos Oviedo has been suspended for eight weeks by Major League Baseball for age and identity fraud. The reliever can participate in extended spring training and will be eligible to play in the major leagues July 23. He'll be eligible for one rehabilitation assignment in the minor leagues for a maximum 16 days. Oviedo was caught playing under the fake name of Leo Nunez and spent the offseason in the Dominican Republic clearing up his immigration status. He said Friday he had received a visa from the U.S. government and would be in Florida on Monday. Now 30, a year older than previously listed, he played as Nunez for seven major league seasons and had 36 saves and a 4.06 ERA in 68 games for the Marlins in 2011.

Phoenix mom Shanesha Taylor awarded custody of 2 sons
PHOENIX — A Phoenix woman who left her two children in a hot car while she
attended a job interview was given custody of her two sons Thursday.
Shanesha Taylor's attorney, Benjamin Taylor, said she could be reunited with her children as soon as Thursday. The children are currently with Child Protective Services and she sees them on weekends.
"This (ruling) allows her to have her children in-house with her," the attorney said, adding there still is a few details to work out in the case.
She faced a judge Wednesday in criminal proceedings related to the incident. She faced two counts of child abuse before the Maricopa County Attorney's Office suspended prosecution so long as she met certain stipulations.
The 35-year-old single mother must meet certain conditions in order to have the
charges against her dismissed.
Taylor told the judge that she's completed five of the 26 parenting classes required of her.
She also is establishing trust funds for the future education and child care
needs of her 2-year-old and 8-month-old sons.
Taylor was arrested March 20 after bystanders reported seeing her children
alone in her car in Scottsdale. Authorities say the temperature inside the car
was above 100 degrees. Firefighters on the scene said both children were sweating and the baby was swaddled in a blanket.
Taylor told investigators that she didn't have anyone to watch her children while she was at a job interview. Her case attracted national attention with people rallying to her defense online to raise money for her case.
Taylor is still looking for work, according to her attorney.

Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk (original 2012; edition 2012)
by Ben Fountain
Work details
Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk by Ben Fountain (2012)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Set in Texas during the war in Iraq, this novel explores the huge gap between the war at home and the real one abroad. The focus is on the surviving members of Bravo Squad at one their exhaustive media stops in Dallas during their "VictoryTour." Remarkable.
Energetic, sharp, insightful prose. So good it made me envious of the writer.
Incredible and such a pleasure to read.
This novel is to the Iraq/Afghanistan generation as Catch 22 was to WW II and Vietnam. Billy Lynn, conscripted by a mean judge into jail or the service at age 19, performs a dramatic rescue during a firefight in Iraq. His Bravo Company, minus the dead, are brought back to the US for a VICTORY TOUR culminating in a halftime appearance at Dallas Stadium for Thanksgiving. It's so ridiculous, even to the naïve Billy, that all the guys get shitfaced and stoned as quickly as possible. And Billy's on track to lose his virginity to a Dallas cheerleader. And to perform with Beyoncé at halftime. And then to be shipped back to Iraq.
The hypocrisy, expressed in perfect word clouds, is strong in this one. Laughter and tears are very close. This novel is a triumph that I hope will not be ruined by the upcoming film. YOU MUST READ THIS FIRST.
It's almost horrible that the first two books I have read in 2016 have been as good as they were; it will seem like every book from here out will be a let down.
Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk is a powerful book about a heroic squad of soldiers who come home to be honored and then they are invited to the spectacle of a Thanksgiving Cowboys game where the juxtaposition between that world, the one of the commercial, professional football business with all of its free-flowing money and materials, and the soldiers' world, where very little is free-flowing except Iraqi animosity and shrapnel, sears.
Unflinching and very much worth reading.
Every two or three years, if I'm lucky, I get my hands on a novel that I simply can't shut up about, a novel I shout from my humble mountaintop to anyone who will listen, a novel that I hand-sell any time I have a literate audience of one or more. In many cases, I'll purchase this novel, over and over and over, and put it in the hands of readers....One novel this year blew the top of my head off like no other, and that was Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk by Ben Fountain....
No brow-beating, no navel gazing and no ranting. Just great storytelling, fully realized characters and sentences that crackle. In short, Fountain makes it look easy.
The novel is niftily postmodern, in that it deals with a heavily mediated reality. Bravo squad aren't even called Bravo squad, but that was what the "Fox embed" christened them. They hear their story being spun in real time: "Carl, what can I say?" says Albert, the movie producer, on the phone. "It's a war picture – not everybody gets out alive." The stadium is dominated by the huge "Jumbotron" screen; Billy wonders whether "maybe the game is just an ad for the ads". But Fountain, like better-known writers of his generation such as Jonathan Franzen and David Foster Wallace, has dragged this ironic, media-saturated style back in the direction of sincerity, with rich, sharply drawn characters that you care about. Beneath the dazzle, there's a story as old and simple as Kipling's poem "Tommy": "They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls, / But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!"
The irony, sorrow, anger and examples of cognitive dissonance that suffuse this novel make it one of the most moving and remarkable novels I've ever read.
There's hardly a false note, or even a slightly off-pitch one, in Fountain's sympathetic, damning and structurally ambitious novel. (The whole story, with the exception of a flashback or two, takes place during the course of a single afternoon.) Billy and the other Bravos are, for the most part, uneducated, but they possess a rare intelligence that allows them to see things as they really are, which is not exactly the way the pro-war meme generators want Americans to see them.
By the novel's end, we're forced to reassess what it means to "support the troops." Does it simply mean letting them know they're in our prayers as we send them back into battle and go about our business? Does it mean turning them into gaudy celebrities? Or could there perhaps be a more honorable and appropriately humble way to commemorate their service? "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" asks us to consider the uncomfortable possibility that we don't really know the answer anymore.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0060885599, Hardcover)Amazon Best Books of the Month, May 2012: Billy Lynn and his Bravo squad mates have become heroes thanks to an embedded Fox News crew's footage of their firefight against Iraqi insurgents. During one day of their bizarre Victory Tour, set mostly at a Thanksgiving Day football game at Texas Stadium, they're wooed by Hollywood producers, smitten by Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, and share a stage at halftime with Beyonce. Guzzling Jack and Cokes and scuffling with fans, the Bravos are conflicted soldiers. "Okay, so maybe they aren't the greatest generation," writes debut author (!) Ben Fountain, who manages a sly feat: giving us a maddening and believable cast of characters who make us feel what it must be like to go to war. Veering from euphoria to dread to hope, Billy Lynn is a propulsive story that feels real and true. With fierce and fearless writing, Fountain is a writer worth every accolade about to come his way. --Neal Thompson
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:18:53 -0400)

Follows the surviving members of the heroic Bravo Squad through one exhausting stop in their media-intensive "Victory Tour" at Texas Stadium, football mecca of the Dallas Cowboys, their fans, promoters, and cheerleaders.… (more)

We study the time evolution of a rotating, axisymmetric, viscous accretion flow around black holes using a grid-based finite difference method. We use the Shakura–Sunyaev viscosity prescription. However, we compare with the results obtained when all the three independent components of the viscous stress are kept. We show that the centrifugal pressure supported shocks became weaker with the inclusion of viscosity. The shock is formed farther out when the viscosity is increased. When the viscosity is above a critical value, the shock disappears altogether and the flow becomes subsonic and Keplerian everywhere except in a region close to the horizon, where it remains supersonic. We also find that as the viscosity is increased, the amount of outflowing matter in the wind is decreased to less than a percentage of the inflow matter. Since the post-shock region could act as a reservoir of hot electrons or the so-called 'Compton cloud', the size of which changes with viscosity, the spectral properties are expected to depend on viscosity strongly: the harder states are dominated by low angular momentum and the low-viscosity flow with significant outflows while the softer states are dominated by the high-viscosity Keplerian flow having very few outflows.
