True Love Lives Here
True Love Lives Here is a true love story that takes us from two persons who had given up on love as something only found in fairy tales and romantic stories, to the heights of true love and beyond. David and Sharon were on different roads that through the twists and turns of life had crossed many times, but they never realized what God had planned. Each having given up on love, they both were apprehensive of sharing their lives with another until a series of synchronistic events brought them together. With their hope and faith in God, they learned to trust then love each other. They find that true love is a manifestation of God's love for us. Their story takes us through having given up on ...

Baseball Team Names
Professional baseball is full of arcane team names. The Los Angeles Dodgers, for instance, owe their nickname to the trolley tracks that honeycombed Brooklyn in the early 1880s. (Residents were "trolley dodgers.") From the Negro Leagues, there were the Pittsburgh Crawfords (sponsored early by the Crawford Bath House and Recreation Center); from the minors, the Tucson Waddies (slang for cowboy) and, later, the Montgomery Biscuits (for the would-be concessions staple); from overseas, the Adelaide, Australia, Bite (a shark reference but also a pun for bight) and the Bussum, Netherlands, Mr. Cocker HCAW (the sponsoring restaurant chain, followed by the acronym for the official team name, Honkbalclub Allan Weerbaar). This comprehensive reference book explains the nicknames of thousands of major and minor league franchises, Negro League and early independent black clubs, and international teams--from 1869 through 2011.
Strange Kin
The ties between Ireland and the American South span four centuries and include shared ancestries, cultures, and sympathies. The striking parallels between the two regions are all the more fascinating because, studded with contrasts, they are so complex. Kieran Quinlan, a native of Ireland who now resides in Alabama, is ideally suited to offer the first in-depth exploration of this neglected subject, which he does to a brilliant degree in Strange Kin.

He shows how a significant component of the southern population has Irish origins that are far more tangled than the simplistic ...
