Even IPCC Is Backing Off From Debunked Global Warming Hoax
The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has been a prime driver of the global warming hoax, even stooping so low as to win a Nobel Peace Prize for its shrill and pernicious propaganda. But now the IPCC admits that the jig is up. A leaked draft of its report AR5 confesses that it is the sun that makes the earth warm, not SUVs or affordable light bulbs. Via Watts Up With That:
The admission of strong evidence for enhanced solar forcing changes everything. The climate alarmists can't continue to claim that warming was almost entirely due to human activity over a period when solar warming effects, now acknowledged to be important, were at a maximum. The final draft of AR5 WG1 is not scheduled to be released for another year but the public needs to know now how the main premises and conclusions of the IPCC story line have been undercut by the IPCC itself.
The report also admits that despite all the hysterical lies "journalists" shriek in the mainstream media, the warming predicted by IPCC models has not occurred.
However, due to the state of abject ignorance in which the media keeps the American public, these revelations are unlikely to stop Obama and his crony capitalist pals from inflicting economically crippling carbon taxes in the name of a "crisis" now admitted to be a fiction.

DEFINITION of 'Master-Servant Rule'
A legal guideline stating that employers are responsible for the actions of their employees in many circumstances. If an employee acts negligently - even if the employer was not aware that the employee was doing so - the employer could face fines or a lawsuit. Since the Master-Servant Rule places the onus on the employer, it is important that the employer set the guidelines for appropriate employee behavior.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Master-Servant Rule'
For example, an accountant working for a large accounting firm intentially overlooks erroneous sales claims by a manufacturer he is balancing the books for. If the manufacturer is audited and the sales claims are disputed, the accounting firm could be held liable for the accountant's errors.

I saw the closed feature request for CSS Margins / Paddings.
Do you know when this feature will be released?
We would like to 'buy you a beer' ;-) to speed up the implementation.
kind regards
Nicola Asuni
CSS margin and padding are now parsed and the Cell/Multicell methods are ready but is still missing the implementation on WriteHTML().
Nicola Asuni
On TCPDF 5.9.010 the CSS padding and border-spacing support for tables were added.
I'd like to raise a hand for this feature request :-)
When generating a pdf from a database source containing html code (
text the vertical distance between both is too high.
Therefore I'd like to reduce the "padding-bottom" from the
tag in order to having a layout that resembles more a book text than an hml page.
I'd be very happy if you could have a look into that.
I was searching the web for a solution but couldn't find a workaround.
Like the ones that opened the feature request I am very much willing to support you i.e. with another donation
why can just anyone change this?

West's top scorer was Ryan Hill with 13 points. West ends the regular season 3-20.
North lead 28-25 at halftime, and back-to-back 3-pointers by Tyshon Walker gave it a 41-29 lead with 3 minutes, 59 seconds left in the quarter.
The Brunswick Community College baseball team improved to 4-0 on Travis Bradley's no-hitter Sunday afternoon against Danville Community College.
Bradley walked two batters and struck out six in the seven-inning game at West Brunswick High School.
Chris Eason hit a two-run home run in the third inning to give BCC a 3-0 lead. The Dolphins' first run came when Drew Alford led off with an infield single, stole second, went to third on an error on the throw and advanced home on Jordan Davis' groundout.

After beginning the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series campaign with a tough 19th-place finish at the season opener at Daytona, Chad McCumbee is looking forward to the trip west to Auto Club Speedway, a fast two-mile D-shaped oval located just east of Los Angeles.
Most importantly, McCumbee is just happy to be heading to the race that was not originally on the team's 2009 Schedule. Sponsorship from The GPS Store.com, based at Ocean Isle Beach, and Garmin has allowed the team to compete in the San Bernardino County 200.
Cedric Simmons made no comments during the brief ceremony in which his No. 44 West Brunswick High School basketball jersey was retired Friday night, but the standing-room crowd knew he was appreciative.
They knew from his smile.
With members of his family present—including parents Mae and Thynell Simmons, brother Thynell Simmons Jr., sister Jasmine Simmons, girlfriend Sabrina Acevedo and 1-year-old son Cedric Jayden Simmons—Cedric Simmons listened as short, poignant tributes were read.
Although our local waters are home to a wide variety of saltwater game fish during the majority of the year, the list narrows considerably in the winter. Warm-water fish such as Spanish mackerel, bluefish and pompano long gone are roaming areas far to the south, while prized species such as flounder are wintering in deep offshore waters. Among anglers, late February and early March aren't known for their diversity.
Each year the Carolinas Section of the PGA hosts a Merchandise Show at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. I always go to check out what's new in the world of golf.

Brandon Rankin is getting as much attention for his football skills in the West as he did in the Southeast.

This vanity chair is good in workmanship, style, and color, but the chair is SHORT!! The description says the seat is 19.5 inches in height, but only if somehow the laws of mathematics changed and 17 inches is now 19.5 inches. That's right, it is a full 2.5 inches shorter than they say it is. If a shorter vanity chair is your desire, I say go for it; otherwise, be warned.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? It is like the picture, a reasonably bright gold color.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quality seems good, but it has not been "used" yet
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate as to style and color, but not height
I am using this chair in my walk in closet. It is the perfect size and height for a closet. The style can be whatever you want..traditional or modern. The color is a soft yellow. It came put together. If you have a small space this is a sweet chair.
This chair was way too short. One of the other reviews said the same thing. I may try to change the legs on the chair because I do like the style of the chair.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color was true to what was on the site.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality was good.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? The description was accurate.
Great little vanity chair. The quality of the chair is on the higher end. It came fully assembled with the legs wrapped in bubble plastic for protection. The chair was covered in a dust wrap which I chose to leave on the chair since I have an animal. I love this little chair. Its comfy for sitting to do hair & makeup. Its cushion is firm and will probably fit with almost any decor.
Cute little vanity chair. It fits perfectly with my antique vanity and looks fabulous. It is also comfortable and will tuck away easily.
I am using this vanity chair at the foot of a twin bed to maximize space and have a place to perch for putting on shoes, etc. Works perfectly!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Very accurate
perfect price...not the best quality but great for my vanity in my closet
This was a great vanity stool. The quality was very high. Unfortunately I had to return this chair because it was too short for my counter height vanity area. Definitely would have kept it if it had been taller.
Lovely and comfortable. Shorter than I expected, but my fault for not doing the measurements.
Perfect size for my dressing table and rich color. Very pleased!

Originally written on College Football Universe | Last updated 12/2/12
Boy oh boy, this is the weekend the BCS pollsters and computers gets tested when the final BCS Standings for 2012 are revealed. ESPN's Brad Edwards showed real uncertainty in his BCS Bowl projections last night and CBS Sports' Jerry Palm has Northern Illinois out of the BCS top 16 by just .0021! The real truth is that there is hope for the Huskies, but how much is really unknown.The losses by BCS No. 12 Nebraska and No. 16 UCLA is what have given the Huskies hope. They also defeated BCS No. 17 Kent State in a dramatic double overtime victory for the MAC Championship on Friday. Boise State, at 20 for week 14, also has an outside chance to bust the BCS. Of course, news of NIU coach Dave Doeren's announced departure to NC State may hurt them in the polls some, but there were very unfortunate tragic occurrences on Saturday that kept a lot of minor news off sports tickers on most channels. However, human polls in the BCS seem to not give much credit to non-BCS teams. Since it is so close...

"Jobs or Inequality"? That's No Choice at All
I would be dissatisfied with a society in which middle-class and lower-middle-class earners have no chance to better themselves. In my opinion, the opportunity for self-improvement is a fundamental human right. What's more, it's not just those individuals who lose out. When social mobility denied to any group, society loses a vast talent pool filled with people who could make things better for everyone.

In LightWave 10 Essential Training, author Dan Ablan provides thorough, step-by-step instructions on building 3D models, scenes, and animations in LightWave 10. Beginning with a tour of the interface and LightWave's two main programs, Modeler and Layout, the course covers key concepts such as building models from basic polygonal shapes, assigning textures, and employing lights and 3D cameras to build real world scenes. Also included are tutorials explaining particle animation, dynamics, and bones. Exercise files accompany the course.
If you have access to the exercise files, I want to show you how those are laid out. I am going to open up the Exercise Files folder, and what you are going to see are three folders within here: one called Scenes and one called Objects, one called Images. I strongly recommend you watch the content directory video that is going to show you how the structure of LightWave works to pick up all the necessary files when you load a scene. That being said, if you don't have the exercise files, I am going to show you how to create those. But before I do, let's take a look inside some of these. It's important to know that not every example has a scene file, so you might find a few blank folders in here.
Some of the Image folders we hadn't gotten into that yet, so Chapter 4 has some images but Chapter 3 does not. So if you see a few blanks in there, don't worry about it. But that structure is there that if you do have the exercise files and you want to save something, you can save them in those appropriate chapter folders. Now to set up your own content directory, just create a new folder on your Desktop or on your hard drive, and you can even call it Projects or Files, whatever you'd like. Then within that, you want to create three new folders: one called Scenes-- not Scene but just Scenes, make sure they are exact--Objects, and then one called Images.
And this is a typical LightWave structure. We are going to set up the content directory to point to this, so the next video I am going to strongly recommend that you watch that. It's very important because that's going to help you load your scenes, your objects, as well as your images, in LightWave 10.
There are currently no FAQs about LightWave 10 Essential Training.
Access exercise files from a button right under the course name.

Girl Next Door
For all you 'hook up' daters out there, you should probably move on. For those of you serious about dating and finding a partner, keep reading: Me: Strong in faith, intelligent, loyal (sometimes to a fault), driven, career oriented, witty, fun, outdoor lover, traditional and family oriented. You: Hopefully some of those same qualities thrown in the mix. I absolutely love someone who is intelligent, witty and can make me laugh. I take a lot of pride in my work/career and my relationships in general. I prefer others that take that some sort of pride in their lives as well. To note, if you can use the words 'your' and 'you're' correctly and interchangeably in a sentence, we might be on to something. So I'm obviously kidding (kind of?), but in all honesty, I take this process seriously as my job takes up a lot of my time during the week. If you aren't serious about dating, marriage and having a family (including but not limited to having more children), please move on to the next girl. I'm not looking for a fling. My house is in order and I'm looking for someone to help complete it. Now that the 'serious' talk is over, I think the rest of this will have to be sorted out over a cocktail/coffee and conversation since we all know that's the best way to get to know someone anyhow.

The national numbers recorded on Polling Report are dismal.
The American economic debate in the face of these looming challenges has been dismal.
Tony Blair (who also left office with dismal approval ratings) was paid $500,000 for a November 2007 trip to China.
c.1400, from Anglo-French dismal (mid-13c.), from Old French (li) dis mals "(the) bad days," from Medieval Latin dies mali "evil or unlucky days" (also called dies Ægyptiaci), from Latin dies "days" (see diurnal) + mali, plural of malus "bad" (see mal-).
Through the Middle Ages, calendars marked two days of each month as unlucky, supposedly based on the ancient calculations of Egyptian astrologers (Jan. 1, 25; Feb. 4, 26; March 1, 28; April 10, 20; May 3, 25; June 10, 16; July 13, 22; Aug. 1, 30; Sept. 3, 21; Oct. 3, 22; Nov. 5, 28; Dec. 7, 22). Modern sense of "gloomy, dreary" first recorded in English 1590s, in reference to sounds. Related: Dismally.

Traveled to San Francisco from LA during Fathers Day weekend. Usually, a trip to San Francisco meant staying at a hotel by the Embarcadero, but after our last unfortunate hotel experience there, we decided to expand our search and looked at staying East of the city, as driving was not going to be an issue. I found a deal on Groupon and was very pleased to find a resort hotel for half the price of stay at a Holiday Inn or Best Western in the city itself. I always worry when hotels advertise themselves as "resorts"-- that all they have may just be a pool, and now they have an excuse to tack on a "Resort Fee". We didn't have much of an itinerary, so majority of the weekend was really just going to be spent lounging around the hotel (and therefore it had to be good). So fingers crossed, I went and booked our stay. We upgraded the room to a Spa Room.
My husband arrived at the hotel a day before, I and our baby flew in the next day. He calls me at work to rave "the place is awesome!" as he is on his way to spin class. The place indeed was awesome. The Spa Room was very spacious, came with a king bed and had a sitting area with a couch that converts to a bed too. The bathrooms were clean and spacious. Because we had a baby with us, I noticed that areas under tables and by appliances were dusty (the things you see when you have to get down on the floor). I guess either they are not very meticulous with cleaning, or their big vacuum cleaners just cant squeeze into those spaces. Overall the room was clean, sheets looked and smelled fresh.
Our rooms were right on the Spa floor, so we got in our bathrobes and walked a few steps to the spa to get our hydrotherapy sessions. I have to say the hydrotherapy area is gorgeous-- think jacuzzis and jet tubs with views of the Golden Gate Bridge, and showers of every kind. The Spa floor also had convenient access to the back parking lot, the tennis courts, the swimming pool and the Club. As Hotel guests, we had access to their members-only health club and pools. My husband was ecstatic over the spin classes, he made me bring his bike shorts and shoes in (see, I told his there were spin classes, but he didnt think he'd go). I went to the Pilates classes-- the instructors were so good, I felt taller and leaner after each class. As for the pool area, all I can speak of is the kiddie pool :)
We had drinks at the Paragon two nights in a row. Their bar food is yummy. There was a jazz band playing on Saturday night. We tried the Sunday brunch at the Meritage, and that was exceptional. It was mildly irritating that we asked at the front desk about it, and they totally gave us incorrect information about the price, then called the restaurant and was told it was fully booked for the 11AM slot, recommended we go to a different hotel brunch. After calling other hotels, I called the restaurant again and asked "Do you have openings for any other time in the day?" and that's when they said "you can come in at 2PM!". Sigh, I wish they had just offered that when I called in the first place... save me the stress and the runaround (hence the low grade for service). There was a carving stations, loads and loads of crab legs, overflowing champagne, ample hot and cold food selection, an awesome dessert bar. We met up with friends and their daughter said "Can we stay here too?!"
So what else can I say? It was a very relaxing and refreshing weekend at a beautiful hotel/resort. The Club & Spa really made the difference. Without the Groupon, I would not have thought to check this place out, too intimidated by the cost. I am so glad I did (giving myself pats on the back for a great find). Still giving them 5 stars because overall loved the place, the good outweighed the bad. Would definitely come back, even if I had to pay full price :)

I occasionally have a problem where it appears that TeamCity checks out an old version of a file. For instance
- I fixed a failing test, but TeamCity didn't get the latest version, so it kept failing.
- I updated an install script on a new branch, but TeamCity didn't get the latest version, so it kept running the script with the old path.
The only thing that seems to fix the problem is to check "Enforce overwrite all files" in the VCS root configuration. But, the latest version of the docs do not mention this option. What does it do and why might that fix my problem?
My build configurations use

Photo Coverage: DKNY S/S 2014 Collection Preview!
It's DKNY's 25th birthday and to celebrate, Donna Karan infused a dose of urban energy into her latest collection. The S/S 2014 collection highlighted elements that has made the brand successful over the past 25 years but with an updated street savvy. There was a lot of black-and-white, cool denim, parachute designs, Easter egg colors and bold logos.
Check out photos below from the DKNY S/S 2014 runway show!
About DKNY:
Inspired by her daughter Gabby, Donna Karan created DKNY in 1989 as a lower-priced offshoot of her Collection line. She established herself as a pioneer in the world of fast-fashion secondary lines, which she has called the "pizza to Collection's caviar." Like the original Donna Karan collection, DKNY was purchased in 1996 by LVMH, Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton Inc.

Tough decision? Flip a coin
If you're stuck between two choices, simply flip a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you, but because in that brief moment when the coin is in the air, you suddenly know what you are hoping for. —Unknown
After a full day of driving that included a stretch of dreadful construction through the Big Horn Mountains, we were ready to land in Yellowstone National Park.
Two days into the annual girlfriend tenting trip, we reached the east entrance.
The ranger collecting our fee studied us carefully after we asked about available tent camping.
It's Yellowstone, after all. Bears are so plentiful and unforgiving that there are only two campsites that allow tents.
The one with spots available that night was more than two hours across the park and would likely be full by the time we got there.
A better option, the ranger suggested, was to turn back 16 miles toward a more tent-friendly place outside the park.
Now the two of us might certainly be labeled as risk-takers, but I don't think anyone would call either of us on-the-spot decision makers.
We were torn.
We had driven across Wyoming to experience Yellowstone, to witness Old Faithful and, most of all, to see a bear. We had not traveled 900 miles to turn back.
On the other hand, neither of us wanted to get to the other side and find out we would have to leave the park anyway because the campground was full.
So we resorted to what any grown women would do.
We flipped a coin.
Heads we stay, tails we go. It seems pretty elementary.
Then you add the element of trust.
Very early in our friendship, we began picking up every penny—every coin—we see on our almost nightly walks.
We were inspired by an e-mail that had circulated for years about a wealthy businessman who paused in prayer at every coin he encountered on the ground, slipping it into his pocket while reciting the inscription, "In God we trust."
It became something of a mantra for us and we tested it once again with this flip of the coin.
Sitting in the passenger seat with the car still moving forward, I balanced the quarter loosely on my thumb.
In unison we chanted, "In God we trust," and I let it fly.
When we reached the northern-most Yellowstone campground, there were exactly six sites left and not all of them were for tents.
We had both known when the quarter sailed into the air which way we wanted it to turn out. We trusted a higher power to reassure us.
We would have made the most of either side of the coin but, of course, it ended up just the way it was supposed to. It was a beautiful night in Yellowstone.

I stayed at the Harborside Hotel at the end of July with my husband for our 35th anniversary. We arrived in the early afternoon and our room was ready. What a nice surprise to find a chilled bottle of champagne in the room! It was our third time there and, once again, our stay was fantastic. The room was beautiful and clean, with a good size balcony. We had an island view room. We did not mind the view of the parking lot, as we were able to see sandbar and the ocean in the back.
The hotel was very busy, but all the staff was friendly and polite. Everybody, from housekeeping to front desk and bellmen was saying hi, whenever we were walking in the lobby or in the hallways. The front desk team was always smiling, and prompt to take care of our requests, even if it was late and busy.
Bar Harbor is a great town and we felt like everyone wanted us to have an enjoyable stay, especially Isabel, the manager, who went out of her way multiple times to ensure our stay was memorable. She is definitely an asset to your company.
We love it there and can't wait to return!

In Great Barrington, Massachusetts, a hoarder dies of emphysema. While unearthing mountains of ruined furniture, useless junk and disgusting garbage, her daughter, Liza, discovers a small fortune in $100 bills. But someone in Massachusetts disputes her claim and is willing to go to any lengths to get his money back; including torture, arson and murder. Terrified and on-the-run, Liza travels across the country desperately seeking safety.
In Bisbee, Arizona, a developmentally disabled man suffering from Alzheimer's has gone missing, requiring an all-out manhunt. Friends, neighbors and the police form teams hoping to find the gentle giant before he is lost in the Arizona desert. What could these two cases possibly have in common?
Joanna Brady, now the well-seasoned sheriff of Cochise County, must juggle two challenging investigations at once, straining budget resources and pushing her deputies to their limits. Confronting long-held family secrets and lies, Sheriff Brady must do some unearthing of her own to discover the appalling truth.
Filled with non-stop suspense, original characters, taut action and realistic police procedure, Remains of Innocence is set in the backdrop of the hauntingly beautiful Arizona desert. J. A. Jance's latest Sheriff Brady mystery is sure to please fans of Michael Connelly, Craig Johnson and Archer Mayor. New readers of Jance's work as well as fans of this series will find this a very satisfying outing.
Some books are beautifully written while others tell a fascinating story. And then there is Anthony Doerr's new novel All the Light We Cannot See, which combines exquisite prose with an engrossing and layered tale of history, science and myth set in Europe during the era of World War II.
In August of 1944, the French coastal city of St. Malo was the location of a battle between the occupying Nazi troops and the Allied forces determined to drive out the Germans. In the city, Marie-Laure LeBlanc, a 16-year-old blind girl, is home alone, hiding under her bed when the shelling begins. Across town, German army private Walter Pfennig is stationed with his radio team in the basement of the Hotel of Bees.
Doerr moves his story back and forth within a 10 year time frame. Marie-Laure was living in Paris with her father, the locksmith for the vast complex of the National Museum of Natural History. The pair fled Paris as the Occupation began, possibly carrying with them a priceless diamond steeped in legend from the museum's collection. As a boy, Werner lived in an orphanage where he repaired a radio discarded as trash. He and his little sister would tune in to French radio broadcasts about science. Gifted with an analytical mind, Werner is drafted by the Nazis, using his skills to hunt down amateur broadcasters for the Resistance. Doerr carefully unfolds each character's narrative as they gradually converge in St. Malo.
The center of this story might be a peerless gem, as cursed as the Hope diamond, both precious and horrifying. It might be the realization that both good and evil — or caring and callousness — can live within one heart. All the Light We Cannot See is a finely crafted work and deserves its place on The New York Times best sellers list. Readers of World War II literary fiction might also enjoy Tan Twan Eng's The Garden of Evening Mists, a 2012 Man Booker finalist.
We all have friends from yesteryear with whom we pine for the perfect, golden memories of whatever chapter of our lives we consider to be "the good old days." Rufi Thorpe's debut novel The Girls from Corona del Mar follows two best friends, Mia and Lorrie Ann, as their journeys take them from their California hometown to the far corners of the world and back again, testing their bond along the way.
Mia is convinced that her friend Lorrie Ann is her counterbalance in the universe. Beautiful, soft-spoken and otherwise perfect in every manner, she can do no wrong in her kindred spirit's eyes. Lorrie Ann's only flaw seems to be her terrible luck; despite being an elementally good person, she suffers three distinct, life-altering tragedies that leave her reeling and unsure of her purpose in life. Mia feels powerless, remorseful and guilty, as if her best friend was being punished for her own shortcomings.
As the two grow older, their lives become disparate; Mia marries and moves to Turkey to develop her career while Lorrie Ann is swallowed up by the world. After years of sporadic contact, Mia is shocked when her best friend turns up in Istanbul, battered and in need of help. What transpires after the two are reunited challenges the temper of their time-forged companionship.
The Girls from Corona del Mar is a tragic, beautiful reckoning of the worst catastrophes life can muster, and illustrates just how powerful and enduring friendship can be, despite the fragility of youth. Anyone who has lost a best friend to time or distance will sympathize as Mia and Lorrie Ann's story progresses. Rufi Thorpe has written a wonderful debut that will be enjoyed by fans of literary fiction or women's literature.
2013 was a banner year for Rainbow Rowell, having published two major hits: the popular Fangirl and the critically lauded Eleanor and Park, which won a Michael L. Printz Honor for Excellence in Young Adult Fiction. Rowell fans can rejoice as her hotly anticipated adult novel, Landline, hits BCPL's shelves today.
Georgie McCool is on the verge of a major breakthrough in her career. She and her writing partner have a huge meeting with a studio executive the day after Christmas to pitch their very own TV show. It's everything she's ever dreamed of, but the meeting means her family won't be able to go to Omaha to visit her mother-in-law. Georgie's husband, Neal, decides to take their daughters anyway, leaving Georgie alone on Christmas to contemplate their marriage, her career and how her marriage has turned into something unfamiliar and uncomfortable. She goes to her mother's house and finds an old-fashioned rotary phone in her childhood bedroom and uses it to call Neal in Nebraska. Neal answers, but not her husband of 14 years; it's Neal of 1998, right before he is about to propose, and suddenly Georgie wonders if she's destined to reroute their shared history by talking him out of their marriage before it even begins.
In Landline, unlike Rowell's other novels, the main relationship isn't a burgeoning romance: It's a marriage of 14 years. There's too much at stake to let it falter, and the tension between Georgie and the past and present Neals will keep readers itching to skip to the last page to see how it all turns out. There is a lot to laugh about in the book as well: funny, relatable characters; a pug in labor and tons of pop culture references. Landline is a winner for a great summer read, especially if you recognize the phone on the cover as something you had in your own bedroom (or just begged your parents for when you were in junior high).
To commemorate the centennial of the outbreak of World War I this summer, many new books have been and will continue to be released. They range from new analyses of battles, biographies of personalities of the era and wide-ranging assessments of how the 'War to End All Wars' set the history of the 20th and 21st century and its continuing conflicts in motion. A furry character study for young readers comes in Ann Bausum's Stubby the War Dog: The True Story of World War I's Bravest Dog. As the United States was at last pulled into the war in 1917, a stray, brindle-colored Boston Bull Terrier wandered onto a soldiers' training ground at Yale University. The soldiers all took a liking to this sweet, short-tailed dog, but none more than enlisted man James Conroy.
Training complete (for both men and dog), the soldiers were sent to sea, and Conroy smuggled the pup onto the ship bound for France. Now considered a mascot, Stubby had been taught to stand on his rear legs and lift his right paw to salute high-ranking officers. This endeared Stubby to all he met, including women of the French resistance, who sewed him a natty uniform. The dog turned out to be a valiant and useful addition to the men in the trenches, as he aided with rat removal, alerted the men to enemies approaching and was even temporarily wounded in action while helping to discover landmines. Bausum illustrates the history of the four-legged hero with plenty of period photographs from the Conroy family collection and other ephemera of the WWI era. Her impeccable research is outlined in endnotes and an extensive bibliography. She also tells of this famous dog in Sergeant Stubby: How a Stray Dog and His Best Friend Helped Win World War I and Stole the Heart of a Nation, written for adult readers. This title covers even more of Stubby's exploits during and after the war. Both books are published by National Geographic, and are excellent avenues into this period. They will be enjoyed by dog lovers as well as by history buffs.
Malla Nunn and Kwei Quartey present two African mysteries that are sure to thrill the armchair traveler looking for a suspenseful police investigation.
Racism and police corruption during Apartheid in Johannesburg, South Africa are the subjects Nunn tackles in her novel, Present Darkness. Emmanuel Cooper is a flawed detective who rose from the mean streets of Sophiatown to enter the police force and must hide the fact that he is in an illegal relationship with a woman of color. When a European couple is found severely beaten in their home and the main suspect is a Zulu named Aaron Shabalala, the youngest son of Cooper's friend and colleague, Cooper is cautioned strongly not to investigate. Cooper as he ignores the direct order of his supervisor in order to save the son of a man to whom he owes his life. Nunn's exploration of this difficult time in South African history is compelling, and her thoughtful prose creates a chilling atmosphere that is sure to enthrall the reader until the novel's heart-stopping conclusion.
In Murder at Cape Three Points, Quartey introduces the reader to Detective Inspector Darko Dawson, who works in Accra on the coast of Ghana. Late one night, a canoe is found drifting near an off-shore oil rig. In the canoe are the bodies of the Smith-Aidoos, an influential, highly educated couple. Darko digs deeper and uncovers corrupt real estate deals and bribery, all threatening to the local fishing trade and seeming to stem from the oil industry. With a growing list of suspects and a tenacious family member looking for results, Darko must put all of his skills to the test. Quartey has a more traditional approach to crime solving, and fans of police procedurals will enjoy this novel.
Both writers excel at detailed descriptions of their respective countries and will appeal to readers who love visiting an exotic locale. Readers who enjoy these selections can find earlier novels in the series from both authors. Those who like the African setting and are longing for more should try Michael Stanley and Deon Meyer.
It's 1938, and while San Francisco is prepping for a world's fair and a war is percolating overseas, three young girls are focused on making it as showgirls in the city's most exclusive Asian revue. Lisa See introduces us to Ruby, Helen and Grace in China Dolls, a captivating novel which takes readers to the dazzling and debauched world of burlesque while detailing the intricate relationships of women and the impact history and fate has on their lives and friendships.
Grace Lee, an American-born Chinese girl, has fled the Midwest and an abusive father. Helen Fong lives with her extended and very traditional family in Chinatown. And Ruby Tom is stunning, independent and ambitious, but has a closely guarded secret. These three young women from diverse backgrounds find themselves competing for the same jobs, but still become fast friends sharing secrets, hopes and dreams. Everything changes with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. As the U.S. government sends innocent Japanese citizens to internment camps, Ruby's true heritage is exposed and she is sent to a camp in Utah. Did one of her friends betray her secret?
Paranoia and suspicion set in, and their friendships become increasingly fragile as the war intensifies. However, bleak times demand support, and the trio always manages to find a way back to one another. Lisa See once again delivers a faultlessly researched historical saga spanning a half century. This story of female friendship, ambition and betrayal is highlighted by the magnificent milieu of Asian burlesque entertainment. The colorful details create a beautiful backdrop for sharing the life journey of these three remarkable and dynamic women.
Mimi Pond is an artist and illustrator, whose work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times and Seventeen and on the animated series, The Simpsons. In her new graphic novel biography, Over Easy, Pond revisits a unique time and place: the late 1970s in Northern California. During this time of transition, the beat and hippie cultures were fighting a rear-guard action to stay culturally relevant; punk was new on the scene and grabbing everyone by the throat, lyrically and sometimes literally; and disco was just starting to die a slow overly choreographed and elaborately coiffed death. Pond abruptly finds herself tossed out of art school in her final year when her financial aid runs dry. Sitting in the Imperial Café, a popular local diner and one of her favorite places to sketch, she takes a chance and asks the diner's manager and comical free-spirit, Lazlo, for a job. He hands her an application and tells her to only write one thing: the funniest joke she can think of. Pond lands the gig and finds herself in the exalted position of dishwasher. The work is hard, long, and brutal, but it clearly gives Pond the perfect vantage point to observe the hothouse environment of the diner. From the sexual roulette and rabid drug use that seems to be her co-workers' chief occupations to the dreams and ambitions that each holds dear, Pond sees all. Seizing an unexpected opportunity, Pond graduates to waitress and takes the chance to reinvent herself personally, and finally finds acceptance as a member of the diner's family.
Pond's illustrations are cool and clear, the slight cartoonish-ness of them playing well against the serious themes. The monochromatic colors speak to the nature of the transitions happening in this period with the promise of color reserved for a world not yet born. The illustrations resemble a series of sketches done mid-shift on the back of napkins and menus, stolen moments of observation while clearing a four top. The unconventional tale moves at a staccato pace like a free-styling beat poet at open mic night. It is a story that stops but doesn't really end; perhaps a hint of more to come? You will find yourself wondering what will become of this child of hippies on the cusp of the Reagan-era love of materialism and excess. Will she stay true to herself while navigating the changing times? Perhaps it isn't too much to ask that Pond grace us with further unique volumes of her work and share her incredible talent as a storyteller.
For a Mature Audience due to themes of sex and drug use.
Where can you find out about the hottest new books before they're published? LibraryReads features 10 new titles published each month that have caught the eyes of librarians across the country. The July LibraryReads list is a mix of books by returning favorite authors as well as some fresh debuts. Don't forget to pack these two in your beach bag this summer!
Many American readers were introduced to Jojo Moyes when they read her runaway bestseller Me Before You, which Between the Covers blogger Laura told us about early last year. This summer, Moyes returns with One Plus One. Jess, single mom to a genius daughter and an outcast stepson, needs cash fast, so she embarks on a road trip to the Math Olympiad with her family in tow, hoping to use the prize money to pay her daughter's tuition. Throw in one large, smelly dog and a disgraced tech geek to round out the party, and you have a charming story about a quirky band of misfits who somehow fit together. Fans of the movie Little Miss Sunshine will love this novel.
Told in alternating chapters, Lori Rader-Day's The Black Hour brings together the stories of Amelia Emmet, a sociology professor recovering from a seemingly random shooting that left her injured and a student dead 10 months earlier, and Nathaniel Barber, her teaching assistant who wants to write his dissertation about the attack. Rader-Day masterfully builds tension as both Amelia and Nath seek answers about why the shooting happened. This darkly suspenseful debut is a perfect match for readers who enjoy novels by Gillian Flynn and S. J. Watson.
We asked some popular thriller authors what books kept them up all night. Their responses include a host of reading suggestions that will help you build the perfect summer reading list.
Chris Pavone, author of The Accident, recommends Donna Tartt's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Goldfinch. He writes, "I couldn't put down Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch, which I suspect no one is referring to as a thriller, despite its tremendously thrilling elements. I think it's a great book in every way, but in particular I found it heartbreakingly beautiful on the sentence level–one wonderful sentence after another after another, for nearly 800 pages–and filled with moments of truth and insight. Then, of course, there's the terrorist bombing and the stolen priceless painting and drug deals and death by gunshot and hiding out in an Amsterdam hotel. How can you go to sleep with this type of stuff going on?"
Brad Meltzer couldn't put down Markus Zusak's The Book Thief, which he says is "[m]ore history, less thriller, but had me to my soul." The novel, which has been a favorite of readers since its publication in 2006, was also recently made into a movie.
M. J. Rose, co-president of International Thriller Writers and author of The Collector of Dying Breaths, shared two of her favorite authors. "Two authors guaranteed to keep me up all night are Lee Child and Steve Berry – they both have new books coming out soon [that are] sure to be as un-put-downable as the last." Find Child's Personal: A Jack Reacher Novel (available to be placed on hold) and Berry's The Lincoln Myth in BCPL's catalog. Rose continues, "Both of them are consummate professionals who never miss a chance to stop a chapter with a cliffhanger and get their characters into what seem like impossible situations. These guys can write!"
Matthew Quirk, whose new novel The Directive was just published, recommends a classic. "I recently re-read Marathon Man by William Goldman and couldn't put it down. It has a great voice and unforgettable scenes (you'll never look at a dentist the same way again). It taught me so much about what drives a thriller: relentless threats to your protagonist as you ratchet up the stakes."

I'm a film major. The workload is fine, and the facilities are great. It really does open you up to so many opportunities as far as networking goes. It's a little annoying that you don't start the production track until junior year, but I believe they're changing that in the upcoming years.
I've done an internship every semester. They're incredibly beneficial and SCA really supports them.
Not easy to find a spot. Be cautious of fees.
Campus Food:
It's really expensive if you don't have the freshman meal plan. It's super convenient though.
Drug Safety:
Most people drink, but if you don't it's totally fine.
Greek Life:
I'm not a part of greek life; I know a lot of people really like it. Most people not in Greek life are either indifferent towards it or think that they're cliquey/snobby. The houses are real nice though.
Off-Campus Dining:
Perfect late night college food. Still there are a few restaurants that you can go to around.
Health & Safety:
You're safe if you use common sense, and you're totally safe on campus. Public Safety is considered a little bit of a joke at USC. They help, and they have been very helpful to me and my friends before, but they tend to over react. Still, safety isn't as bad as people say. I've lived there two years and I feel safe.
It's Southern California. The weather is amazing.
Almost everyone owns a laptop. There are computers available in the computer labs, but they're not always available. USC Wifi is almost always good, but sometimes it'll be super slow. Get and ethernet cable.
Overall Experience:
I absolutely love USC. It's really a work hard play hard school in the best way possible. Most of the people there are really passionate about something which really creates a great school environment.
Campus Housing:
I had a good time in the dorms (I lived in Pardee). It's a great atmosphere, not incredibly strict, though I think that depends on who your RA is. All of the dorms are at the center of campus, super close to classes.
I'm not a part of them, but I know USC facilities are amazing. Also a nice gym.
Off-Campus Housing:
Not the best, but it's definitely cheaper, especially if you take the time to shop around. There's a lot of different options ranging from apartments to houses to rent.
USC has a reputation for being a strong academic school. A degree from USC is valued, especially in Southern California.
Typical downtown LA traffic. Difficult to get around via public transportation.
There is tons of security because of location of campus. As long as you respect security and don't do things that will get you into trouble, you'll be fine.
Off-Campus Dining:
I live Mexican food and there are tons of great spots close to campus. You are also relatively close to a variety of trendy spots.
Being in Los Angeles you are immersed in many different cultures and socioeconomic status. USC has the largest international population in the US.
Drug Safety:
Alcohol usage most seen in Greek life.
People come to USC because of its football legacy. Sports, especially football is a major part of the school.
Very expensive. Structures always under construction. No street parking.
Local Area:
If you have a car it's ok. Surrounding neighborhood not great.
You have to be in the know about scholarship opportunities.
Campus Quality:
What you'd expect from a private school.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Students from Southern California usually love USC from the beginning and strengthen their bonds with the school as time passes. Students who travel to USC from longer distances tend to adapt more slowly, dealing at first with the culture shock that inevitably comes with a first impression of LA. Universally, those who can survive the transition into the USC way of life fall in love with the school after first semester. Typically, students entering school with a skeptical mind-set ends up getting the most pride out of being a Trojan. At the very least, they come away with a new affinity toward college football.
The opportunities on campus are plentiful, and in LA, opportunities are endless. Time flies for everyone at USC, and changes in living conditions, academic standards, and career goals come quicker than newcomers might expect. USC graduates are sure to look back on a college experience that could not have been offered anywhere else. Basically, the more that students are willing to explore the opportunities available to them, the more they endorse the idea that USC is the perfect school for its time and place.
Compared against the students in the chart, you are in the:

Nice quick and easy salad, would have been even better if it were tomato season. Still have some basil growing inside, so it almost seemed like a summer salad.
Nice salad; enjoyed this very much for lunch today. Next time I will use a different variety of tomato to see if I can get better results and bump this up to a 5!
Fantastic thanks. I used 4 large, regular tomatoes bought at a farm gate and made my own Italian dressing using Italian Herb Salad Dressing. I'm going to make this again soon with some more of my beautiful tomatoes.
