William Elliott Whitmore has never sounded more urgent than on his new album, Radium Death, which is available now.
Known for the sparse, haunting qualities of the mostly solo recordings he refers to as "roots-folk music," in which his voice is often accompanied by little more than a banjo or acoustic guitar, Whitmore began writing songs last year with some changes in mind. "I purposefully went into it wanting to make a little bit of a departure, sonically, using an electric guitar a little bit more and adding more instrumentation, more full-band type stuff," he says.

What do you think of photographers in real life? Guys and girls with awesome jobs? Creepy paparazzi who sell their soul to TMZ? Truth tellers? Lighting obsessed? Here is how movies portray photographers.
The supercut of Hollywood movies was made by English artists Mishka Henner and David Oates. They watched over a hundred movies involving photographers in some way and spliced 'em all together into one sequence. Henner told Wired:
"Blow-Up, Peeping Tom and Full Metal Jacket stand head and shoulders above the rest for the sheer quality of cinematography, storytelling, and the performances. But it's impossible not to like even the worst performances and characterizations – being a photographer is complicated and even the worst stereotypes contain grains of truth"
It's definitely interesting to see photographers in front of the camera since they're so often behind it. Read more about the project here [Wired]

Hi fellow genealogists,
I am posting this in case you want to join in and send MOM a card. She will be 90 on the 29th and due to my siblings illness we are not able to host her a party so it was advised I try a Happy Birthday Card Party.
Remember she is turning 90 so larger print is easier to see, My relative said she would read the cards to her that she can not see though.
Because she has a PO BOX I think this is okay and the post office is prepared for her to receive mail for her 90th birthday.
I spoke to them before I posted in case it would be a problem.
She is the reason I started Genealogy when I was young to help her and then to help myself and my new born son.
He by the way just turned 50. So do your medical genealogy it may save a life.
Need help contact me.
send card to Dorothy JONES P O Box 253, Valley Ford, California 94972
Ancestor Seekers by the Root Bound is a group of people that meet at the Lemon Grove Library once a month to share their genealogical data. We welcome beginners to advanced to attend. We meet the 3rd Wed of every month at the Lemon Grove Library from 6 to 8 pm. All are welcome to attend.

The PGA Championship History Exhibit, located at The Shops at Woodlake Kohler, located in the Village of Kohler, Wis., will be open daily from noon to 4 p.m. CDT. Hours of operation during PGA Championship week are from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. CDT, Aug. 9-14, and from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. CDT on Aug. 15.

The 92nd PGA Championship will be conducted Aug. 9-15, at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wis.
The PGA Championship History Exhibit debuted in Louisville in 2000, and travels to future host PGA Championship cities. The exhibit features memorabilia spanning from Jim Barnes' driver to capture the inaugural Championship in 1916; a walking stick once used by the legendary Walter Hagen; Gene Sarazen's niblick (today's 9-iron); Jack Nicklaus' wedge, which he used to capture the 1980 PGA Championship; Phil Mickelson's wedge that clinched his 2005 victory; and Y.E. Yang's 3-hybrid that sealed his historic 2009 triumph.
"The PGA Championship History Exhibit is a special journey behind the great Champions who have been both premier performers but also among the leaders of the advancement of golf in this country," said PGA of America President Jim Remy. "The PGA of America is pleased that The Shops at Woodlake Kohler, a popular destination for both those in Wisconsin and tourists from around the world, will serve as host to this remarkable collection. Wisconsin is one of the great sports participation states in the country and we anticipate we will have outstanding support once again leading up to the 92nd PGA Championship this summer."
The Shops at Woodlake Kohler are part of Kohler's luxury resort destination that is owned and operated by Kohler Co, a world leader in products for the kitchen and bath.

Higa & Gipson, LLP
The law firm is comprised of two lawyers who are dedicated to providing top notch legal representation in the following fields of law: civil litigation, business consulting and transactions; and criminal defense work. Our civil litigation work will include transportation law consisting of representation of businesses in the following industries: aviation, maritime, and motor carriers.
The two partners have spent the last 5 to 7 years working for medium and big sized law firms and are striking out on their own to have more control over the matters handled for clients in an effort to provide a more cost efficient service.
One aspect of our target client base includes insurance companies who need counsel to represent their Insureds who have commercial general liability policies and are being sued based on their business operations. The next segment of our target client base includes small and medium sized businesses who need legal counsel to reduce their risk of being sued but who cannot afford to maintain an in-house counsel department. The final segment of our target client base includes individuals who need criminal defense counsel both for alleged business and non-business crimes.
Creativity is what we are looking for most. We don't want to have a firm identity that looks like every other law firm in the market. We want the identity to be distinct but still professional. The law firm will be based in San Francisco and have an office in Oakland. The website proposals should be straight forward without a lot of clutter. Ideally, we would like a website page proposal that has buttons linked to separate pages for Publications; Attorney Profiles; Practice Area Descriptions. As an exemplar of the direction that we are striving for, take a look at the following website: http://www.collette.com/.
Good Luck.

This stone at Baltimore‐Geohegan Cemetery is small, maybe three or four feet long. It is weathered and worn with no visible carvings. Is it an old gravestone, broken and fallen over? An ordinary but worn field stone?
Or could it be—as it looks to me—a child-sized, coffin‑shaped marker?
Maybe my graveyard imagination is getting the best of me. What do you see?
Baltimore‐Geohegan Cemetery, Fairfield County, Ohio

Oh, I see it too. Is it a cemetery with plotted records that you could check? I don't like finding those I can't get answers for :)ReplyDelete
I'll need to do some detective work, for sure. It's a small cemetery with no on-site office--unless perhaps in the church across the street. Hmm. This one goes on my research list!ReplyDelete
I remember seeing one very similar in a churchyard when I was a child and was told by an adult, that it was the grave of a baby who had to remain anonymous, as it's Mother had been unmarried at the time and so a proper headstone could not be used.ReplyDelete
True or False, it left a big impression on me at the time and it really does make you wonder.
Holi, completely believable explanation!ReplyDelete

Marmol unable to contain Mets in Cubs' loss
NEW YORK --There's something about those final three outs. Carlos Marmol has been mostly effective since becoming the setup man for the Cubs, but in the times he's been called on to close out games, Marmol hasn't been as dependable.
He's had five save opportunities this season. He's blown three of them.View Full Game Coverage
NEW YORK --There's something about those final three outs. Carlos Marmol has been mostly effective since becoming the setup man for the Cubs, but in the times he's been called on to close out games, Marmol hasn't been as dependable.
He's had five save opportunities this season. He's blown three of them.View Full Game Coverage
"All the other innings, he's done a pretty good job," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "He's having trouble with those last three outs."
After Matt Garza pitched seven strong innings, continuously working out of trouble to keep the Mets from getting any timely hits, Marmol gave up a three-run walk-off home run to outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis to give the Mets a 4-3 win in front of 30,256 fans at Citi Field.
Marmol entered the game for the bottom of the ninth with a three-run lead. Sveum said it gave Marmol -- who's known to be erratic with now 21 walks this season -- some leeway in case he walked a couple batters.
It turned out that leeway wasn't enough.
Marmol surrendered a long home run to Mets outfielder Marlon Byrd to start the bottom of the ninth inning, and then walked Lucas Duda and gave up a single to John Buck.
"When Marlon hit the home run, it was a huge bolt of energy going through the bench," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "When Lucas walked, there were guys saying we were going to win."
Two batters later, they did.
Nieuwenhuis, who carried a .103 average into the game, hit a three-run home run of the facing of the second deck in right field to snap the Mets' three-game losing streak.
"You blow the save and lose the game. It's tough," said Marmol, who's now given up six home runs in 26 2/3 innings. "I left the pitch up, and it was right down the middle."
The loss also spoiled a solid performance by Garza.
He's had an inconsistent season, showing flashes of effectiveness interspersed among woeful outings. On Sunday, he looked vulnerable at times but made the pitches he needed to work out of trouble over seven innings, limiting the Mets to three hits with five strikeouts and two walks. He was in line for the win until Marmol gave it away.
"I felt pretty good about it," Garza said of his performance. "My location wasn't really there all the time. But I found a way to get through some jams. I just felt comfortable, and I felt like I had a little bit of a rhythm."
The Cubs' lineup couldn't get much going off Mets starter Jeremy Hefner. Chicago scored its first run in the first inning on an RBI single from Alfonso Soriano. Then the Cubs scored two more runs on a play that showed just how much the Mets were struggling.
With two outs in the top of the fifth, Starlin Castro singled and Nate Schierholtz walked. Soriano then hit a grounder to third baseman David Wright, who threw way wide of first base, which allowed Castro to score on the errant throw.
Then Mets first baseman Daniel Murphy retrieved the ball, and threw home. But like Wright's, his throw was way off and flew past catcher John Buck to the backstop. That allowed Schierholtz to score, giving the Cubs a 3-0 lead.
With the way Garza was pitching, it looked like that lead would be enough.
The Mets had runners at first and second with two outs in the fifth, but couldn't drive them in. They had runners at first and second with no outs in the sixth, and again, couldn't get the big hit.
Everything was in line for a win and sweep for the Cubs, until the bottom of the ninth.
"Just another strong outing from our starter is wasted again," Sveum said. "Garza was really good."
Sveum said he didn't want to use his normal closer, Kevin Gregg, for the ninth inning because he had already pitched four games in a row. Sveum wouldn't push it to five.
No one else in the bullpen has much experience closing. Sveum said he didn't want to use Shawn Camp, since he was just activated from the 15-day disabled list on Saturday.
So Sveum went to Marmol, who has 117 career saves, to get the last three outs. But Marmol couldn't nail down the win for the Cubs.
It came down to those final three outs.
"We all know that he's gotten a lot of saves in his career," Sveum said. "Still something's going on in the other innings that's not going on in that last inning."

'Butter' (English)
Director: Jim Field Smith
Cast: Ty Burrell, Jennifer Garner, Olivia Wilde and others
Having a taste for "Butter" depends almost entirely on whether you find the comedy of condescension and ridicule a hoot or a very cheap form of amusement. This satire on self-righteous, homily-spewing Red Staters and the cutthroat world of butter carving trades almost entirely on making jokes at the expense of others, most of all an obsessed, venal woman who could pass as a kissin' cousin to two prominent female Republicans of the pre-primary season ("Butter" was made in 2011). Decidedly not a critics' picture, "Butter" brandishes the sort of snide humor that plays well with a large public, but a fair slice of that audience could well be put off by the whiff of agenda that's hard to miss. This odd film, which was debuted at last year's Telluride Film Festival, has a commercial shot but a rather long one that will put any and all marketing wizards involved to the test.
The vaguely insalubrious title of the first feature written by Jason Micallef and the second directed by Jim Field Smith ("She's Out of My League") refers to the competitive pastime of butter sculpting that consumes the lives of a sufficient number of Iowans to have made it a statewide sport. The undisputed champion for 15 years running is Bob Pickler (Ty Burrell), whose latest creation — a full-sized rendering of The Last Supper — is considered such a celestial masterpiece that he's asked to step aside to give someone else a chance.
Furious at this blow to family eminence, Bob's wife, Laura (Jennifer Garner), takes up the carving knife herself. Laura is the sort of prim, flag-waving, self-satisfied do-gooder whose pasted-on smile can't disguise incisors ready to rip into anyone she finds wanting or threatening. When not on public view, Laura cusses like a David Mamet character and vents about every perceived threat to her position or worldview, as if the stars arranged themselves exclusively to assault her sense of security.
As it is, she finds no solace at home; Bob momentarily takes up with trampy, extortionist stripper Brooke (Olivia Wilde), who in turn exerts an unhealthy influence on Laura's already checked-out stepdaughter (Kristen Schaal). But the most serious menace comes from an adorable 10-year-old girl with the loaded name of Destiny (Yara Shahidi), who has bounced from one foster family to another until winding up with locals (Rob Corddry, Alicia Silverstone) who bend over backward to please.
Almost absurdly well-adjusted and ever-keeled for her age and background, even if prone to comments like, "Are these crackers for real?" in the face of weird behavior by adults, Destiny is revealed as the Mozart of butter carvers, a natural genius in an enterprise her new mom admits is "kinda rednecky." Faced with likely defeat in both the regional and state competitions, where Destiny does remarkable work sculpting the Freedom Train and a pieta-like rendering of herself and her imagined real mother, Laura resorts to deceit in league with a good-ol'-boy former flame (an amusing cameo by Hugh Jackman), revealing her whiny, self-pitying true self in the process.
Playing a thoroughly unpleasant character, Garner, who also co-produced, somewhat overdoes Laura's initial phoniness and her overriding shrillness. That someone, nay, anyone, would become so psychotically preoccupied by butter carving is part of the joke, that being that human beings are capable of becoming fixated on almost anything. But Laura is not endowed with a single human quality worth admiring, and her priorities are entirely upside down. When she discovers that her ineffectual husband, whom she once regarded as worthy of high office, has cheated on her with a conniving skank, she sweeps it under the rug of her artistic ambitions, which in the end include a technically proficient but bad-taste rendering of the Kennedy assassination.
Wilde lives up to her name as the go-for-broke exotic dancer as dim as she is unlucky, while the rest of the cast, excepting the dignified Shahidi, works in bright-eyed caricature mode.

text: Westeros #1 Posted July 26, 2010 It was recently noted by an extra, known as Rimshot, working on the production that the show was preparing to film a three-episode production block. This has led to a good deal of confusion as to just what that means, but thankfully Adam Whitehead, U.K.-based book blogger, steps in to explain this over at the A Song of Ice and Fire Forum. Here's the key paragraph:"The block system sees several episodes combined into one solid block of filming and production lasting many weeks, maybe a month to two months. This block will involve the same behind-the-scenes personnel, and will be designed to maximise efficiency and minimize costs, so episodes set in the same location, using the same guest or recurring actors and so on will be combined, regardless of the actual transmission order of the episodes. Most notably, the same director will be assigned to the entire block. The block will be prepped, read-through, go through pre-production and budget meetings and then filmed and put through post in one long process. Usually whilst one block is filming, the next director will be stepping up and prepping the next block so the actors go from filming one block to the next (sometimes with a short break between them)."Do check the rest of his post, as Adam compares to the more usual American network production method, and details how Doctor Who has used the production block method.Visit the Site!

This page is a howto for connecting your Windows Mobile device with Archlinux. Afterwards you can sync and install cabs just like you can do with activesync in windows. It uses the kde app synce-kde, but gnome and *box users can relax, the only qt-deps are qscintilla-2.3.2-2 and pyqt-4.4.4-2. And they are small.
- Install synce-odccmAUR and synce-kde,available in the Official repositories.
- Install synce-sync-engine, available in the Official repositories.
Connecting to your phone
- Start odccm:
# odccm
- Start sync-engine. You can use "sync-engine -d" to have it running in the background as a daemon.
- Start synce-kpm
- Connect your WM phone.
Now you can sync your phone, install cabs and so on. Have fun.Before syncing you will have to create a partnership with your phone. Just as with active sync in Windows.
If your phone does not show in synce-kpm, make sure the activesync-setting in your phone is set to "activesync", and not "mass storage device"" or similar. (Settings → Connections → USB connection settings)
Other problems
There is only one problem I have experienced with this. Sometimes it will stop working, and you will get an error report on your phone saying device.exe had a problem and was teminated. To fix this, simply go to USB-connection setting, choose "mass storage device" and select Ok, and then select "active sync" and again ok.
If the above did not work, you might have to quit/kill sync-engine and odccm, and restart them. Start odccm first. This seems to be necessary when sync-engine is stuck at " Authorization pending - waiting for password on device" You will get output if you start sync-engine without the -d option.
I think this problem arises after the phone has suspended, but I'm not quite sure what really causes it.
Work with PocketPC files from file manager
There is a SynCE FS project, which is aimed to provide a possibility to work with winmobile device filesystem as a remote filesystem. It ts based on SynCE and Coda.
Install syncefsAUR, available in the Arch User Repository. To use SynCE FS, you need a working SynCE installation.
At the first step you need to load
coda kernel module.
At the next step you need to start SynCE tools:
odccm and
Finally you can mount your PocketPC filesystem with a command:
mount /mnt/synce
(Directory /mnt/synce is normally created during installation. If not - please create it manually.)
Now you can use your PocketPC filesystem from /mnt/synce directory.
To mount PocketPC filesystem as ordinal user (non-root), you need to add the following to your fstab:
none /mnt/synce cefs rw,user,noauto,codadev=/dev/cfs0 0 0

I am wondering if cilantro is one of those fussy plantings. I have tried starting from seed; I have tried purchasing starter plants; this year, I even allowed a large crop of volunteer plants (from seeds dropped last year) to take over a corner of the garden. Still, I only have foliage that is recognizable as sprigs of cilantro for a very short time. In the blink of an eye, the plants shoot up, the leaves become thinner, flowers appear, seeds develop, and I have no real cilantro to harvest.
I am befuddled. Does cilantro normally grow that quickly? Does it have to be constantly replanted in order to harvest perfect little shoots of leaves? Am I doomed to planning my fresh salsas, herb salads, and even the basting marinade for some great pork chops around the never-there-when-you-want-it availability of cilantro in the grocery store? I am clueless.
If you aren't as clueless as me, and know the secret to growing cilantro (or if you have access to a grocery that always stocks this herb), there should be no major planning involved in making some moist and perfectly seasoned pork chops with a cilantro-lime marinade for basting. All prep for the chops can be done while waiting for the grill to heat. The cut of the chop is up to you. I have used bone-in or boneless depending on what I had on hand, and this time, I divided some butterflied chops (that I had originally planned to stuff & bake on one of our rainy days). It is a simple recipe that pairs really well with baked sweet potatoes and a salad for a no stress meal any night of the week.
I maybe be clueless about growing cilantro, but I have no doubts about using it for Cilantro and Lime Pork Chops to land On My Plate.
4 boneless pork loin chops, 1-inch thick
1 1/4 teaspoons garlic pepper seasoning
3/4 teaspoon onion salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Sprinkle chops with garlic pepper seasoning and onion salt; rub to coat.Set aside.
Whisk remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
Place chops on grill.
Baste with oil and cilantro mixture.
Turn chops over and grill 3-5 minutes per side or until internal temperature is 160F.
Baste again and turn once. (Serves 4)

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" fan favorite NeNe Leakes has landed her own spinoff on Bravo, which will center on her second wedding to Gregg Leakes, the network announced on Thursday. "I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding" (the title could change) will premiere in the fall.
"YES the rumors r true! I will marry my love AGAIN!" NeNe tweeted of the happy news. "I Dream Of Nene-The Wedding special coming soon." The "New Normal" star also posted a supercute photo of the couple.
READ: Hear how NeNe is healping her "Real Housewives" costar through an ugly divorce
In a press release, Bravo reveals that each episode will follow NeNe as she plans the wedding of a lifetime, enlisting the help of celebrity wedding planner Tiffany Cook to make it happen. NeNe's bridal party will also be featured in the series, including Cynthia Bailey and Marlo Hampton.
Fans have followed NeNe and Gregg's journey from a happy marriage to a devastating divorce on "The Real Housewives," which also documented their reconnection. Hoping to start their second marriage with a clean slate, NeNe is looking to rebuild relationships with Gregg's children, as well as reunite with her father figure Curtis.
Of course, news of NeNe's upcoming nuptials filmed by Bravo's cameras shouldn't come as too much of a surprise as the "Glee" guest star told us back in January, "It's kind of getting big, and it might be on television." Gregg added, "It doesn't matter if it was on television or another planet, I'll take her wherever I can get her!" Awww!

Ladies and gentlemen, let's compare and contrast. In her blockbuster first novel, "A Woman of Substance," Barbara Taylor Bradford pitted her fiercely determined heroine against almost insurmountable obstacles: grinding poverty, physical abuse, sexual assault, romantic betrayal, and the machinations of a powerful and pitiless nemesis. In her latest book, "Letter from A Stranger," Bradford's sweet and accommodating heroine lives a charmed life, her manners flawless, her profession glamorous, her predicament such that she is forced -- just forced! -- to jet off to sunny Istanbul, where she eats delicious meals, sleeps in elegant accommodations and discovers a riveting memoir of life in Nazi Germany. Is it possible, based on the aforementioned evidence, that Bradford, the author of 27 international bestsellers, has, well, mellowed?
Immaculate in oversized pearls, a flowing scarf and a pale pink pantsuit, Bradford considers the question. Above her the white marble fountain in the lounge of Chicago's Four Seasons Hotel radiates a dull gleam in the dim light. Across from her, her husband, TV and film producer Bob Bradford, sips a cappuccino.
"No," she says, "I don't think I have. I think every book is different. Whilst they're all about strong women, they're all very different. Wouldn't you say so, Bob?"
Her husband of 48 years nods but does not interrupt.
"Maybe you're right," she continues, "but it's not anything conscious. It's not that I've said 'Oh! I'm going to do this.' I didn't really have any bad guys in this book because I didn't really need any. I had a whole battalion or two of Nazis — Gestapo — and I think when you're writing about history, one of the most evil and horrendous events in history, you don't really need to have a lot of side heavies who are everyday people. I think it almost takes away from the murder of six million people."
She only had one true bad guy in "A Woman of Substance," she points out, the dastardly Gerald Fairley. Gerald's brother Edwin was merely "weak," she adds, her voice hardening as she dismisses poor Edwin utterly and irrevocably with a single word.
But then Bradford's ice-green gaze softens, and she begins to laugh.
"I do know one newspaper, years ago, said 27 people died in this book — and none of them in a war," she says.
"They listed them! One fell down the stairs and broke her neck. Another person died in a fire. Another one had a stroke. And I laughed because I have a very good sense of humor. As I said [earlier], I don't like to write about real people, in case I want to kill them off. You know, when you're writing a book you play God."
Mellowed or not, Bradford, at age 79, bears a striking resemblance to Emma Harte, the steely heroine of "A Woman of Substance," and it's not just those piercing green eyes and that easy charm. Both are self-made millionaires from Yorkshire who went to work at an early age — Bradford as a typist for a newspaper. Both thrived professionally without benefit of a college education. Both possess great energy and a tremendous capacity for hard work.
Even today, Bradford rises early, sometimes at 4:30 a.m. She has coffee and toast in her New York apartment, reads the British newspapers and edits the previous day's writing. When Bob, a TV and movie producer to whom she has dedicated all of her novels, gets up at about 7 a.m., she makes him two boiled eggs and then retreats to her study, where she works until 4 p.m.
"All my girlfriends know not to call before 4," she says.
That schedule has allowed her to publish 27 bestsellers in 33 years; she's currently criss-crossing the country to promote "Letter to a Stranger" while approaching a June 10 deadline for her next book. Slowing down, she says, isn't on her agenda.
"I have no children. My husband goes to an office every day; he's a very busy man. What would I do? I went to work when I was 15 and a half, for God's sake, as a typist on a newspaper. What would I do?"
Travel, swim, garden, perhaps?
"Well, I live in the middle of a city that's called Manhattan, you know."
Yes, but there's a lovely park. And theater, movies and ballet ....
"When I finish a book, I actually don't know what to do with myself."
"No, I don't know what to do. I clean a closet. I have lunch with a girlfriend. I go do some shopping. But that lasts all of about a week and then I start a new book because I'm bored."
Bradford was born the only child of a former children's nurse and a British Royal Navy veteran who struggled to find work during the Depression, according to "The Woman of Substance," a biography by Piers Dudgeon. She started writing as a child and was first paid for a piece of writing when she was 10. She wanted to write novels, she says, but journalism was a more practical choice. She rapidly rose from the typing pool at the Yorkshire Evening Post to cub reporter and then woman's page editor, before moving on to Fleet Street.
She married Bradford in December of 1963 and moved to New York, where he had been living.
"I worked as a journalist here until one day I said, 'If I don't write a novel I'll grow old and regret it,'" she says.
She wrote four unfinished novels before she started "A Woman of Substance," which has sold more than 32 million copies worldwide and was made into a TV miniseries with Deborah Kerr and Liam Neeson.
"You must want to [write a novel] so much that you can't not do it, Bradford says. "You've gotta sit down, as Hemingway said, put your backside in a chair and start writing."
Bradford's books have now been made into 10 TV movies and miniseries. In 2007 she went to Buckingham Palace to receive an Order of the British Empire medal from Queen Elizabeth II. Her reviews tend to be positive with a reservation or two: "Bradford marshals a storm of coincidences to advance her complicated story, which pushes the limits of believability. However, every novel from this acclaimed and beloved author is avidly read, and its engrossing historical dimension, family traumas, romance and vivid setting will prove irresistible," Aleksandra Walker of Booklist wrote of "Letter from a Stranger."
Bradford brings up the "coincidence" issue herself during the interview and addresses it head-on.
"Life," she says, "is made up of coincidences. Nothing is ever the way we think it is."
Case in point: She and Bob were once on a trip to London and Switzerland, and Bob was having a terrible time tracking down the director Tony Wharmby, who was filming in Hungary or Romania. Wharmby would call the Bradfords' hotel, and they'd be out. Bob would call Wharmby, and he'd be shooting a scene in the mountains and unavailable. This went on for 10 days.
Finally, the Bradfords were sitting in the airport in Geneva, waiting for a flight home to New York, when Barbara spotted Wharmby.
"Bob, you're not going to believe this, but Tony Wharmby's over there!" she said to her husband, whose nose was buried in a newspaper. The two men hammered out a deal on the spot.
Bradford's inspiration for "Letter" came, in part, from her husband, who is Jewish and escaped Nazi Germany as a young boy with his mother's jewelry stitched inside his clothes, but the more immediate influence was a friend whose ex-husband abducted their sons.
She began to think about missing children and to notice all the newspaper stories about missing women: the young mother, say, who went off to the gym and never came back.
"One day, I'd finished working and things come into my head, and I was thinking, what must it be like? What would it be like if I went out and I never came back? How would Bob feel? And the help? And the people that care about me? I kept thinking, what must it be like?"
She found herself imagining a child coming home from school to find that her mother had vanished.
"And then I thought, Nazi Germany: the Holocaust. More people went missing and were never found than in any other time in history — and I'm actually feeling it now. I got a cold chill. I was sitting on the sofa in my office and I got up and I went to the desk and I wrote down: 'Missing Grandmother. Nazi Germany. What is the link?'"
In the finished book, the blond, blue-eyed American heroine who discovers that the grandmother she assumed was dead is in fact alive, living halfway across the world and harboring family secrets that date back to World War II. Her grandmother's gripping memoir — effectively a story within the story — takes readers back to Nazi-era Germany..
Bradford winds up the interview and photo session after more than two hours, having ordered only water ("tap water is fine"), posed cheerfully and offered to answer additional questions. She returns, several times, to the question of whether she's mellowed, her tone amused and skeptical. After this, she says, she'll speak at the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center in Skokie, then return to New York to write for a few days before flying to Dallas to promote "Letter." She'll go home again, finish her next book, and then return to Chicago where she'll be the headlining author at the Tribune's Printers Row Lit Fest on June 9.
"I don't know that I've mellowed," she says, returning to her argument that a Nazi-era memoir is not exactly a project for the faint-hearted.
She's smiling sweetly as she says this, but that green-eyed gaze is firm and unwavering.

When thinking about food the first image that comes to our mind might be the so-called 'food porn' photography that the marketing industry relies upon when advertising food products. But there is also an ugly side of food the industry is not willing to portray and it involves chemical fertilisers.
Greenpeace East Asia initiated an investigation to uncover the 'ugly side of food', focusing on the Chinese province of Sichuan where major phosphate fertiliser production occurs.
The findings are indicative of wider environmental troubles across China and show evidence of hazardous chemicals within phosphate production waste (phosphogypsum), dumped in the open and, more importantly, in close proximity to local villages.
Analysis of phosphogypsum samples revealed levels of fluoride, a potentially hazardous substance, above Chinese national limits for hazardous wastes at several of the sites investigated. At one site, where a 20-metre high waste pile is located next to a village, levels of fluoride found in leachate (a fluid that comes from the phospogypsum waste) were seven times above the limits.
Jinhe Phosphate Chemical Plant, Greenpeace investigators estimate that this pile of phosphate slag heap is only 10 meters apart from the nearest field of Tingjiang Village, Shifang City, Sichuan Province.

A group of villagers, exasperated by the company and the local government's dismissive behavior, bought a land digger and started removing the waste themselves.
Although we do not approve of such potentially harmful behaviour, the villagers' actions are a sign of distress and love for their land and community. It also sends a challenging message to the authorities that failed to care for their people.
The factual and visual evidence, gathered by the Greenpeace East Asia investigation, is just another reminder of the brutal expressions of the heavily industrialised approach to our agriculture and food production systems. Industrial, chemical-intensive agriculture uses massive amounts of synthetic fertilisers [pdf], which heavily rely on intensive and wasteful processing with dire environmental and human consequences.
We believe that agriculture and food production do not need to be heavily reliant on the use of chemical fertilisers. Our vision for agriculture is based on organic fertilisation techniques (for example green manures, crop rotation and recycled nutrients), as a more environmentally friendly way to pursue farming.
Despite what the agricultural industry's propaganda repetitively tries to deny, a truly ecological system can produce food for all without the use of chemical inputs.
We must start along this ecological path now, not only for the affected Chinese communities of Sichuan but people across the globe, so that one day they won't have to pay a high environmental and human price for the food that is served on the tables all over China and elsewhere.

It's hard to believe that the United States purchases china's fluoride wastes to dump into public water supplies, but we do.
It's hard to believe that the United States purchases china's fluoride wastes to dump into public water supplies, but we do.
Most people don't know that this toxic waste from phosphate fertilizer smokestacks is trucked has hazardous waste through all the nooks and crannies of the US to be dumped unpurified into public water supplies. It's allowed to contain trace amounts of lead, arsenic, mercury and other toxins which the EPA says zero amount is safe. We should never be adding toxins in the water on purpose/ But we do because fluoridation is such a political issue and too many legislators and organized dentistry care about their own political viability than the truth that ingesting fluoride is ineffective at reducing tooth decay and harmful to health.

What The Hell Is Going On? Virgil!
Homeland Season 2 Episode 6 recap
Do you not wish you had a Virgil you could yell for when the going got kind of rough? Like what a liberating thing, to be able to literally be in two places at once, to be on both the planning and the execution side? I have missed Virgil and, as Lainey and I discussed last night, he remains pretty sexy. It's not just that Carrie yells at him and he just makes sh-t work, it's the competence and determination and the long strides, you know?
I wonder if those have a shelf life, though. If you only get a set number of long strides before you're kind of called out for only feigning confidence? I know this is the fear of so many creative types – that they'll get called out for only faking knowing what they're doing; I have to believe this is true for military types and CIA as well, no? In fact, Saul bears the mark of a man who has been called out for not knowing what he's supposed to – or not pretending hard enough, at least? You and I understand that he's the smartest man in the place, but he's been chastised for not behaving like his balls are the biggest. Had he done so, might he be David Estes now?
This is kind of comparable to Uncle Mike, or whatever we're calling him this week. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but dude just comes off as playing far above his weight class. He and Jessica trying to figure out what Brody is up to, and what part the CIA plays, are so earnest and so concerned, but so clearly have no idea what they're up against that they're basically like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. I want to pat them on the head and tell them that literally nobody would notice, at this point, if they wanted to restart their affair, which might give them both comfort in these trying times. I'm sure I underestimate Mike and that he will notice that being on the right track is what got his hand slapped by no less than the CIA but I'm not holding my breath. He's just not that stealth; he could barely tell a convincing lie to Chris, and I'm pretty sure Chris still thinks he's going to marry the Tooth Fairy when he grows up.
Dana, on the other hand…oh, man, Dana, I'm sorry you are learning the lessons you are about what happens when you have a weak man in an uncomfortable situation. I don't actually believe that Dana is any more equipped to deal with a horrifying situation like a hit and run than Finn is, but by virtue of going to the hospital to find things out (putting aside the implausibility of wandering into the ICU, the scene itself was alternately appropriately nauseating and unintentionally heavy-handed – how's that for equivocation?), she has made it her problem; just like that, she has become Finn's problem. I'm not sure I buy what the show is trying to sell me – that Dana is a "good person" because she hasn't grown up with privilege, while Finn has, but the result is going to be the same either way. This is Dana's loss of innocence, the seeds of what might not have been cynicism now firmly planted. If she's lucky, though, she might get her father in trouble… but she doesn't need the suicide of the VP's son on her head, and I'm afraid that's what she's going to get. Also, in one of my more dickish comments, I'm not sure I want to see the "anguished acting" that's going to come from him regardless.
Is Brody dumb? Do we buy that he is? He survived 8 years in captivity. There have to be some smarts there. For that matter, there have to be considerable smarts and savvy, I would think, in order to ascend to the level he was at before he left. Tactical, espionage, operations smarts. There must be.
But Brody should know better than a lot of things, and he doesn't. He should know better than to leave his gun barely locked up in the garage. Maybe that was fine last season, but now, with suspicion on his back all the time (oh, and a murder on his hands – FYI, Dana, this is what it looks like when human life doesn't trouble you that much anymore) you'd think he'd be a little more careful.
You'd think he would think ahead to know that Roya might think she was being set up. Strictly speaking I guess this is CIA territory and not Brody's, but he's the one who knows her (and her beautiful, beautiful hair). I can understand why he provides the CIA with the minimum information necessary to keep him out of handcuffs, but you'd think he might think ahead to where the fact that she and her contacts WIPE OUT seven (although next week's promo said six) intelligence agents might come back on him? I could be wrong, but I'm starting to think Brody is Dumb, and Carrie is Smart. And that's bad news.
With no disrespect to the continuing gifts of Claire Danes, I am never worried that Carrie might be out of her depth anymore. I assume she will be in the right, and can make the correct moves eventually, if not at first. Like when Brody mocked her hand on his chest, and she quickly downshifted into "I'm reasonable, and you're not". It's such skill. I wonder if this is a problem, though, since I'm not actually worried about Carrie these days. Haven't been in a while. Even Carrie crumpled against Brody's chest crying feels like, if not calculated exactly, something where she's already figured out exactly how much vulnerability she can get away with. I'm not sure Brody is skilled enough to turn the tables, particularly on Carrie. He hasn't shown me he is, not recently, at least.
But this is her first major setback since being back. She is going to falter. Her self-confidence is still fragile – not least because her schoolyard-rival-come-lately may or may not be perishing on the floor of the tailor's shop. Maybe we can get Carrie, completely upended, so our worlds can keep turning as we worry and hope for her, alternately, to cry and to stop crying.

Politics & Government
Dan Walters: Who won and who lost in California Legislature this year
The book closed on the 2013 legislative session when Gov. Jerry Brown signed or vetoed its last few bills.
Obviously, therefore, it's time to tote up the winners and losers.
Two of the bigger winners were public employee labor unions and groups representing the state's 3 million illegal immigrants.
The unions spend lavishly on legislative campaigns and have no natural enemies, at least not those with deep financial pockets.
While the business community often battles with private-sector unions, it has no stake in what the larger and more powerful public sector unions seek from the state's politicians, so the latter operate freely.
The only brakes are Democratic politicians, including a governor, that they helped elect. And while they may not have gotten everything they sought, the public unions saw gains on several fronts, including higher pay, thus cashing in on the Democratic gains and new taxes in last year's elections.
The deadlock on immigration reform in Congress gave Brown a rationale – or excuse – to sign bills aimed at semi-legalizing California's illegal residents that he had opposed in the past.
"While Washington waffles on immigration, California's forging ahead," Brown said while signing one batch of immigration bills. "I'm not waiting."
Illegal immigrants gained the rights to obtain driver's licenses and become licensed lawyers, along with bills barring discrimination against them, and forbidding police to cooperate with immigration authorities in the "Secure Communities" program.
Another winner was the business community – oddly, one might think, given the big Democratic legislative majorities and a slew of bills sponsored by unions, trial lawyers, consumer activists and environmental groups.
The California Chamber of Commerce branded the 38 highest-profile bills as "job-killers" and managed to kill or sidetrack all but one, which raises the state minimum wage to $10.
Among those four liberal groups, the most conspicuous losers were the numerous environmental groups. Most were on the losing side of legislation that regulates but does not ban "fracking" to exploit the state's shale-oil deposits, and lost when the Assembly turned back a bill to give the state Coastal Commission more enforcement powers.
While nothing happened on Brown's plea for broad reform of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Legislature did pass more limited CEQA changes that the groups opposed. The difference may have been that unions didn't like the big changes but backed the smaller changes.
The state's still-troubled economy – and the advent of more Latino legislators from districts with high unemployment rates – may have been factors in why business was successful and environmentalists weren't this year.
Or as one political consultant famously declared a couple of decades ago, "It's the economy, stupid."
