Red, ripe, and luscious, this popular fruit has lots of vitamin C and health-boosting antioxidants.
Season: Year-round; peak April through July.
How to Choose Strawberries
Local strawberries, available at farmers' markets and upscale grocery stores, are always sweetest. The reason: Strawberries that are shipped long distances are picked before they are ripe. Otherwise they would be too fragile to survive the trip. And they don't get any sweeter after picking. At their prime, strawberries give off an intoxicating aroma and are plump and firm, with bright red flesh. Avoid berries that have green or light tops or dry or brown leaves and those that are bruised or shriveled. The smaller varieties are generally more flavorful. Inspect plastic containers and cartons for stickiness or stains, signs that the fruit inside is damaged or past its prime.
How to Store Strawberries
Discard bruised or moldy fruit. Then enclose the container of berries loosely in a paper bag so they don't dry out. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just before using, rinse with cold water and pat dry.
How to Prepare Strawberries
Wash the berries and trim the caps just before using.
How to Use Strawberries
Strawberries are perfect in pies, just right in jams, and a sweet-tart touch in salads. But they're at their best raw, served at room temperature, topped with freshly whipped cream.

We get it. You want the perfect relationship with the perfect guy and the perfect marriage with the 2.5 perfect children and a white picket fence. Who can blame you for wanting the best for yourself?
The problem is that there is no "perfection" in the world - at least, not the world we live in. Instead, we make do, muddle along, and do the best we can.
So when you're dating and mating, don't be too picky - but don't be too permissive either! Here are some signs that you might have impossible standards.
1) You refuse to go on a date with a guy who has facial hair in his online profile picture because he MIGHT look too scuzzy.
2) You refuse to date anyone who cannot properly punctuate a sentence. Sure, it's annoying, but really, who doesn't love extra commas?
3) You refuse to consider a guy's offer to buy you a drink because you "hate that pickup line."
4) You dump a guy because you loathe the way his friends act in public - even though he's very well behaved.
5) You refuse to consider dating anyone who is vegan, vegetarian, or eats gluten-free because it "limits the places you can eat."
6) You break up with a great guy because he loves the band Rush.
7) You break up with a dude because he sees a therapist, even though you know that perfectly normal people see therapists, too.
8) You refuse to date a guy who has cats because you figure he's a Mama's boy.
9) You assume ALL men are Mama's boys.
10) You refuse a date with a guy whose last name you don't like - just in case you get married. Don't want to be saddled with a bad last name!
What are some other signs you're being too picky when it comes to dating? Have you ever been guilty of this?
Image via M.Pratter/Flickr
No cats for me either, but because I'm super allergic. No tobacco users either. My guy is a big Rush fan and if we decide to tie the knot I'll keep my last name cause I like mine better, but those would never be deal breakers. My list of must haves was fairly small-atheist or agnostic, sense of humor, fairly intelligent, decent hygiene. I found him, except he's very intelligent. Bonus! Girls who have the insanely long, ridiculously detailed lists of what they want in a man will be looking for love forever. Think of all the good guys who might have made a fantastic partner, but were overlooked because they didn't fit a list.
I dont think that being too picky because if you could just break up with (or reject) a man because of any of these reasons alone, then he clearly wasnt the right man for you.
this was gar bage
Wow, I totally LOLed at this! Why are people not seeing the humor!? My guess is that you have been married to your best friend for a long time, in which case- that's amazing, Congrats!- or you aren't getting asked out on enough dates, in which case, put yourself out there! :) I think this is hilarious and kind of true to an extent. When you date people that annoy you from the very beginning, it's very rare that you will have a long and happy relationship. Typically, you have a short and annoying relationship with a guy that you can't get to leave you alone. haha

Would you tip $10 on a $1,500 pizza delivery?
Somebody did -- and got called out for it online. For dining-industry workers, it's just the latest in a string of penny-pinching indignities.
Customers of pizza joints and casual-dining establishments should probably keep in mind that not only do the underlings they shoo away between servings of low-cost food rely on tips to live and to balance out their tax burden, but they're not afraid to call you out for being stingy. Reddit has become a compendium of such service-industry horror stories, with the latest coming Tuesday from a user named jfastman who posted the receipt showing a $10 tip added to a $1,453.95 bill.
That's less than a 1% tip, big spender. Meanwhile, one person had to haul 85 pizzas from Point A to Point B. That 10 bucks is well below the $2-per-pizza that the Cornell Hotel School considers a baseline tip for a delivery, according to CNNMoney. That would come out $170 in this case, but if that seems a bit steep, a reasonable 10% tip would set a buyer back $145.
Seriously, 5% and an apology would have at least given the poor pizza schlepper $72.50 or so to play with. But $10 for a literal wall of pizza you had no problem dropping nearly $1,500 on? Mind you, those pizzas went for a not-so-cost-effective $17 a pop.
Maybe this delivery person should look at the forlorn face of Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill he got and consider himself or herself lucky. It could be a lot worse. He or she could be the server at Applebee's (DIN) who got stiffed by someone wondering why wait staff should get an 18% tip when "I only give God 10%."
Or he or she could work for Denny's (DENN) franchise owner John Metz, who owns 30 locations in Florida and put his servers in the crossfire of the Obamacare debate. He initially proposed tacking on a 5% Obamacare fee to pay for mandated employee health care and presented customers with two options: "They can either pay it and tip 15% or 20%, or if they really feel so inclined, they can reduce the amount of tip they give to the server."
Denny's CEO John Miller then promptly spat in Metz's cereal by scolding him into an apology, but the leaders of other chains have already discussed cutting worker hours to avoid giving them mandatory health care.
Metz isn't entirely wrong, though. With the restaurant business becoming increasingly focused on value and decreasingly interested in paying for various extras, there are two options: Tip-averse customers can keep stiffing servers and get publicly ridiculed, or we can do away with the gratuity system altogether and boost the average wage.
Since plenty of Americans grouse about that second option as well, get ready for the hour-and-a-half delivery time that comes with living in the low-priority cheapskate house.
Paying money so the delivery person does not spit on it or drop it is extortion. Restaurants should pay regular wages and not rely on customers tipping employees.
HOWEVER, a tip is usual in the US and should be paid based upon the level of service. If you can't afford a tip, don't order or go spend your own gas money and pick it up yourself.
Me? I appreciate the delivery when I am too busy or too lazy to go get it myself... so I tip accordingly.
The entitlement attitude this country has created is ridiculous. Stop putting tip jars on every counter people should be happy if they have a job
It is HIGH TIME for companies to pay a wage that thier employees can live off of. Tipping should not be required. These restaraunts are charging outlandish fees for thier foods and are well able to pay a decent wage. If servers or drivers are Angered by small tips-get a job that pays a decent wage. I'm sorry but tipping is getting out of control!
Basing a pizza delivery tip on a percentage of the total order is ludicrous. I'm not saying not to tip more for a large order. But certainly don't feel obligated. We used to love taking large orders because we knew we would likely get tipped more than the standard buck (or two, if we were lucky) that was the norm in the college town where we delivered. But because we were making minimum wage and nobody was there to see the "tip" we also knew that the only tips we would be forced to claim would be those that came in written check or credit card form. I'll leave it up to your imagination how many "tips" this once struggling college student claimed...

Bank of America has not yet tipped its hand about how it plans to roll out mobile payment in the U.S., but it is unlikely to use microSD cards–that is, if a recent evaluation of the technology by a bank representative is any guide.
Spanish bank Bankinter has launched its long-anticipated mobile-payments service based on host-card emulation, after being one of the first banks to propose an HCE-enabled service.
Apple, as predicted, is taking the NFC plunge, adopting the technology in its next iPhones and Apple Watch to enable a mobile-payments service, Apple Pay, and disclosing partnerships with the three largest U.S. payment networks, issuers representing more than 80% of U.S. credit card volume and major national merchants.
NFC Times Exclusive: Ofer Tziperman, CEO of Israel-based NFC reader maker OTI, has named two of its largest reader customers in the North American market in an interview with NFC Times.
NXP Semiconductors said its NTAG I²C tags, which combine an NFC Forum Type 2 NFC tag with an IC contact serial interface, will allow more complex device interfaces between smartphones and consumer electronics, such as home appliances, wearable devices, and health and fitness monitors
Quebec-based credit union Desjardins says that it expects gradual, or what it calls "progressive," adoption of the SIM-based NFC mobile payments service, which it launched commercially this week, following an earlier soft launch.
NFC Times Exclusive: Apple's scheduled announcement Tuesday of its next iPhone is expected to make it the last and also the most prominent of the major smartphone makers to adopt NFC.
The telco-owned joint venture behind the Isis Wallet announced a new name for the wallet, while the merchant-led MCX consortium finally released its consumer-facing brand and a timeframe for a planned rollout, as the U.S. mobile-payments landscape heats up.
Gemalto reported flat revenue and a drop in profit for the first half of 2014, though noted that sales for its TSM and NFC SIM business were strong, and its EMV card business in the U.S. was ramping up.
LG Electronics has signed a global licensing deal for NFC technology patents from Inside Secure, an initial win for Inside and its strategy to try to cash in on its NFC IP.
Israel-based On Track Innovations reported new orders for its NFC and contactless readers in North America, along with the first shipments of its NFC-enabled Wave attachment, driving higher revenue, though the vendor's quarterly losses continued.
U.S.-based Identiv reported higher revenue and narrowed losses for the second quarter, predicting a breakeven or positive result by the end of the year, as the company's restructuring program draws to a close.
France-based Gemalto has announced plans to acquire U.S.-based data security firm SafeNet in a cash and debt deal worth $890 million, its biggest acquisition since Gemalto was created in 2006 with the merger of what was then the two largest smart card companies, Gemplus and Axalto.

Sliding Doors of CSS, Part II
101 Reader CommentsBack to the Article
Hello Doug, Thank you for this wonderful tutorial, I've learned so much. I noticed the difference in the examples given for 8a and 9 and 10.
so I'm am trying to incorporate both examples of the WinIE hover fix to the targetted tab via the Id.
So far..I'm close..but it's tricky and I'm still unsuccessful. It seems that the targeted tab code gets wiggy with the rollover code.
I have the rollover code working, but the target tab ends up being the images reversed in color and orientation. I'm thinking the span tag has something to do with it.
I wondered if you have solved this and can offer a hint. I've enjoyed playing with this code and love the brevity of it.
Mahalo – Haunani
hi, I figured it out. I added span code to get the functionality working the way I wanted
#home #nav-home,
#news #nav-news,
#products #nav-products,
#about #nav-about,
#contact #nav-contact {
background-position:100% -150px;
#home #nav-home a,
#news #nav-news a,
#products #nav-products a,
#about #nav-about a,
#contact #nav-contact a {
background-position:0% -150px;
#home #nav-home a span,
#news #nav-news a span,
#products #nav-products a span,
#about #nav-about a span,
#contact #nav-contact a span{
background-position:100% -150px;
Haunani, is this a fix for the IE6/XP problem or your own personal brew? If it is the fix, please post the complete source! (example number edited, CSS changed, markup changed)
In ex: 8a, after having shifted styles around, Doug is instructing the header list items to display inline and the header anchors to float left. If the list items are already instructed to display inline, why is it necessary to float the anchors contained in the list items to the left? If you don't do this, the layout falls apart, but I can't figure out why. I'm sure there is a simple explanation, but somehow I'm not grasping it.
I've controlled the multi-word tabs from wrapping with white-space:nowrap; but the menu I have is wider than the page in low res (800×600) and the list items wrap. white-space:nowrap; doesn't seem to work if applied to #header or #header ul. Any ideas?
I used the sliding door concept at eldoradosurgicenter.com but now the customer wants the tabs and subnavbar to stay at the top when scrolling. Obviously, this can easily be done using frames. However, how does one call up the "Current" set of tab images when using frames? i.e., when a user clicks a tab, the tab that was clicked is highlighted. How do you achieve that with the sliding door concept in frames?
When I implemented the sliding door concept at eldoradosurgicenter.com, the navbar div (the one with the tabs) was superimposed on the following div which is the subnavbar when using Mozilla Firebird, Konqueror, and Galeon. This does't happen with IE 6.
In order to get around this (where one div overlaps the following div), I had to place the tabs bar and the subnavbar into a table. Obviously, I don't like that. How can I get the browsers in Linux to display one div right after the a previous one without overlapping? Btw, this only seems to occur when there are floats involved.
Truly informative article!! But with all the issues raised (some solved, some not) couldn't someone compile the source code + fixes somewhere so it's easy to copy n'paste?? Just for the sake of not having to go through the 2 articles + 7 pages of comments… :/
Hope this XP bug gets sorted. That is the only thing that makes me reluctant to use it for a client's site yet.
Pukka (delete accordingly)
Wow, this is really weird. When I started up my browser, the flicker stoped happening. Maybe this is one of those "automatic IE updates" (I read they existed on quirksmode.com, but they haven't been proved to exist). Anyone else experiencing this?
No flickering on win98se + ie6.0.2800.1106.
Btw, many great thanks for those two articles.
Thanks Doug! It's superb, especially with the niceties added in part II.
What do you recommend as a technique for centering the set of tabs in the viewport? A quick stab at putting text-align:center on the ul didn't do it.
Well, there are two different methods for centering a block in CSS. Since i'm not the expert that came up with them, here are the original sites:
Of course the second one only works if you set a width, but still check it out anyway :).
First of all, my compliments: both articles are clearly written, have great examples, demonstrate (highly!) impressive CSS acumen and the resulting tabs look great.
That said (and I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but so be it…), I have to take strong exception to the section of (Part II) entitled "No Current Tab". You just CAN'T have a set of tabs without one of them being selected. Period. Full stop. No exceptions—don't do it! (And yes, I have seen countless examples (for example, the old Yahoo) where people have attempted to do this anyway.)
To clarify, what I mean by "CAN'T" is not that it is technically impossible (of course it is possible, as Example 7 in the article demonstrates), it is just really, really unwise. So, I'm saying "can't" in the sense that you "can't" let your two year old play with a lighter or matches.
Look, these CSS-generated 'tabs' (and the similar GUI widgets that they are modeled on) are actually just visual metaphores for a real (physical) set of tabs . . . like you'd see on manila folders and on file cabinet hanging folders. Now with the physical folders, one (and only one) folder has to be in front. You can't have two (or more) of them simultaneously be front-most.
Right about now some may be thinking: hey, we're in the virtual (not physical) world here; why don't we break free of the restraints? Well, not only does having "no current tab" break the metaphore, it causes serious usability problems.
If you don't have one of the tabs selected (current), then the user does not know where they are in reference to the (implied or apparent) navigation that the set of tabs supports. And if they are unsure as to where they are now, they will also have a (much) more difficult time deciding where to go next. Now if your navigation is simple and the navigation paths are clearly labeled (again, think of Yahoo), then the latter difficulty is lessened (but is still there); for unfamiliar site/applications; poorly labeled paths; or branching navigation flows the difficulty will be worse.
For completness' sake, I should also mention that using tab sets for open-ended navigation (like Yahoo does) or for "a registration process" (as the article mentions) or any other process for that matter, is just a bad idea in the first place. If their usage is confined to just using them as they were originally intended (i.e. to space-multiplex a lot of GUI elements in an overall fixed-size area—for example: for property sheets) then these problems can be avoided.
Thanks for listening;
let the flames begin… ;-)
I ran through this excellent tutorial and am excited to try out the techniques discussed.
I thought I'd mention that IE will never cease to amaze. Throughout the article, I noticed the clickable region problems (using IE 5.5). Throughout Part 1 and including Example 7 in Part 2, my clickable region was faulty. Then in Example 8 my clickable region was fixed to include the entire tab. However in the final version (Example 9), my clickable region returned to the smaller region: the entire tab, but missing the left image area of the tab.
Figured I'd point this out since lots of people are still using IE 5.x.
Thanks for the great two-part article!
This design seems to assume that the tab content will come after all the menu items. Changing tabs involves a server round trip to update the tab content.
Is it possible to combine some of the techniques used in the suckerfish article with this article, plus a little javascript magic, to avoid this round-trip?
My markup might look like

Tab 1 title
…. content of tab 1

Tab 2 title
…. content of tab 2
I can see how I can use display:none to hide the content of the inactive tabs, but how do I get the div content under the active tab to appear below ALL the tabs? I'd like the content to somehow "float" beneath all the tabs.
What about using the 'behavior' property in IE and creating an HTC file to access the background position of the parentNode instead of adding extra span tags to accomplish the same thing? And then in doing so, you could remove the box model hack and reset the height and width in the HTC. This certainly keeps your HTML simple, although, at the cost of a more complicated implementation of having to create an HTC file.
Just use a single image of both complete tabs.The way the background images are positioned and overlapped, there's no need to use seperate images for the left and right. This saves an image request and any worry that the two slices optimized my end up with slightly unmatched palettes.
Yes! I've figured out the source of the IE6/XP bug! When I was scouring the settings of the XP machine that worked, I noticed that the cache size was set to a small amount (20MB). My cache on my home machine (which displayed the bug) had a cache size of 895MB (by default). When I changed it to 20MB, everything started working. It seems that with a larger cache size the browser does not check for newer versions of files at the right time. Well, at least we know it isn't a code error!
Hey guys,,
I also moved to tableless layouts as most of you did. but there's still one situation where I use tables. when I need to keep certain graphic or text element at the bottom of the page (something like here http://www.mldgroup.com). How should I resolve this with div's?
You could actually use the same image for both the item (e.g. the LI element) and for the link. They will combine just fine.
I also had the flicker problem with IE6/W2K. Reducing the cache size to 20MB eliminated the flickering of the tabs.
I'm not sure this resolves anything, since the flicker problem remains unpredictable.
Does anyone know what is the default cache size setting for IE6? Thanks.
This works flawlessly! However we have a need to place an image of a line (not a line that can be mocked up by a border) at the bottom of the tabs and hence in the BG
Challenging, even when you adjust the padding to the depth of the imaged line, because the sliding left door wants very badly to be in front (the whole point, right!) and gets in front of the bg image no matter how you pad it.
So … we need to either bring the BG forward or slide the left door behind the bg but still in front of the right door.
Ideas? z-axis?
Here's an odd one
This flickers for mr in Windows IE 6
this does not. Exact same code. thoughts?
Okay. I'm not intelligent enough to add Step 8a's IE fix to Step 10a. Everytime I try weird stuff happens. I spent an hour on it last night and just couldn't work it out. Sad, I know. Could someone please help me or post the answer outright?
I got rid of the flicker by clearing my cache. Works fine now. The ability of the tabs to resize is awesome.
But, given this flicker problem (caused by the browser, not the code), would any professional web designers implement this technique on a highly visible site? I'm especially interested if Doug would feel secure using it on a site such as www.adaptivepath.com.
I don't think I could =/
If anyone has the full code (up to step 10a) with the IE rollover fix included, I would be grateful if you could post it here.
I am going to take a new approach for my Japanese web site.
The sliding door is a great article and definitely I want to use on my pages.
I tested all the examples (example 1-10) and I found a problem with Japanese character environment. If I reduce browser's width, it start character wrap within a tab, further reducing window width a tab itself wraps.
This does not occur in alphabet characters.
Is there any fix for this?
I forgot to tell one more point.
Tab words of example 10 is complete vertical writing regardless width of windows.
I can send html pages which show the problems if anyone challenges fixing this issue.
Does anyone have an example of turning the tabs sideways?
Did anyone correct problem with MSN for MAC OS X ? In this browser tabs looks like in Safari (100% width) without hack…

i've taken liberally from doug's techniques to add drop downs to a very similar menu layout. i've got a working solution in the latest gecko browsers, ie 5+, opera 7.11 (windows). on the mac side it works in safari and gecko browsers, but goes absolutely wacko in ie 5.2. view it here – http://rzand.homedns.org:8080/main/home
btw, this layout seems to be more browser friendly than the brainjar example, another demo i have borrowed heavily from. anyone seen this before and have any ideas?
btw, i'm sniffing the browser on the server side with php and including local styles that override those in the stylesheet rather than using css hacks.
Rz, do you think it will help win Netscape 4 users over to your viewpoint to lecture them about what browser they are using?
Actually, your site seems to work fine in Netscape 4 with JavaScript off. I just don't see your interface work.
And that's actually the great thing about the technique in this article. If you have a modern browser, you see the cool stuff. If you have Netscape 4, the site still works.
(Well, except for any links to a mid-page id, but aside from that.)
Can't upgrade to Netscape 6 until I buy a new Mac (requires OS X, which doesn't run on an 8600), iCab crashes too much on my unit, and I'd rather not use IE, even if it's IE/Mac.
Call me stubborn, but it's my attention you're trying to get, and I'm darned if I'm going to buy a new computer just to visit your site.
First off – yes, this is a great technique, and a very easy-to understand tute.
I've been using these tabs to allow navigation through a one-way process (specifically an online ordering process) – the user can see where they are in the process, and click back to see or change previous steps/tabs. However, the user shouldn't be able to click forward more than one tab at a time (if you're one step one, you can't jump straight to step 4)
So – how can we create a tab which is disabled, or greyed out? If we remove the anchor element, we no longer have a second 'sliding door' to apply the style to…
anyone got any ideas? preferably without introducing extra spans…fanks!
Actually, it isn't a broken or unusable interface. There are other homologous tab examples: cookbooks, reference books, VW Owner's Manuals. In these examples, often you'll see tabs for the referential content; but they are all still have preceding material before the first tab: cover, title page, contents, introductions.
No flame. Just rebuttal. ;)
Excellent stuff but this does not work in IE 5/Mac whereas it works perfectly in IE5.x+ for PC and also NS7 for both PC and Mac. Is there any hack to make it work for IE/Mac?
In your first article about sliding navs you mentioned the abilility to put a logo in the header# – how do you ad this?
Thanks – great CSS!
Okay, not so mind-boggling, but certainly opens the lid on what CSS can do. Who would have thought compliance could be so 'cool' ;-)
Hi, I would like to ask if there is any posiblity to center
 "tabs" to the header div. I don't want to center the header div but only ul and li. The reason is because I will dynamicly change amount of tabs and I can't center it to the page right now without changing header width. :-(
For beter understandig you can look at
Right now it looks like tabs are + – centered. But if I remove one from the list it is not centered in the header div with black border.
Thanks for your help.
Hello everyone and many thanks for the article !
Is there a way to make the tabs to evenly distribute themselfs when resizing the window ?
Either by reduce/enlarge the gaps or by changing the tabs' width.
Thanks a lot in advance,

The Global Volcanism Program has no activity reports for Rumble IV.
The Global Volcanism Program has no Weekly Reports available for Rumble IV.
Reports are organized chronologically and indexed below by Month/Year (Publication Volume:Number), and include a one-line summary. Click on the index link or scroll down to read the reports.
06/1992 (BGVN 17:06) Gas bubbles detected; summit 450 m below surface
06/1992 (BGVN 17:06) Gas bubbles detected; summit 450 m below surface
Three previously unknown submarine arc stratovolcanoes have been identified at the S end of the Kermadec Ridge: Rumble V (36.140°S, 178.195°E, summit 700 m below sea level); Tangaroa (36.318°S, 178.031°E, summit 1,350 m below sea level); and Clark (36.423°S, 177.845°E, summit 1,150 m below sea level) (figure 1). All three have basal diameters of 16-18 km and rise from the seafloor at ~2,300 m depth. The first evidence of the volcanoes was from GLORIA side-scan mapping of the southern Havre Trough-Kermadec Ridge region in 1988 (Wright, 1990). Later investigations, including a photographic and rock-dredge study during the 3-week Rapuhia cruise (early 1992), confirmed previous interpretations. Side-scan and photographic data show a complex terrain of lava flows and talus fans on the flanks of all three volcanoes, with the most pristine-looking morphology at Rumble V. During the 1992 cruise, gas bubbles were detected acoustically, rising from the crests of Rumble III, IV, and V. No gas bubbling was evident from Tangaroa or Clark. Bathymetric surveys indicated that the summits of the shallowest volcanoes, Rumble III and IV, were at ~140 and 450 m, respectively, below the sea surface.

The submarine volcano Rumble IV was thought to have been active from April to December of 1966, based on hydrophone signals (Kibblewhite, 1967), but later evidence indicates that the hydrophone array had been damaged and that the signals originated from Rumble III (Hall, 1985). Fresh, glassy andesitic lava was dredged from the summit of Rumble IV. In 1992 gas bubbles were acoustically detected rising from Rumble IV (Global Volcanism Network Bulletin).

"For the Billy Crystal fan in all of us"
This is a fun diversion from the history / lecture series' I normally listen to. A warm uplifting book fill with Billy's memories.
The BEST part of this book are Mr. Crystal's stories of the great Micky Mantle and Muhammad Ali. A human face is painted on these sports legends that very few have seen. The chapter on the filming of his HBO movie 61 was probably the best chapter in the book. As a youngster, my father took me to Yankee Stadium to watch these very same legends play. Tears swelled up inside.
The book also has its slow chapters. One can sense that Mr. Crystal has a preoccupation with death. He deals alot with dying which detracts from the otherwise brisk flow of the book.
This book is highly recommended,
BTW, you look marvelous
The history of Nazi Germany told in bullet-point fashion. One gets the feeling that the narrator is reading from a stack of Post It Notes rather than from a book. I had to put this book down; maybe Ill come back to it sometime.
"What a great listen."
Professor McWhorter is FANTASTIC to listen to. I would give him 7 stars for performance but Audible only allows a maximum of 5 stars. The delivery and style are exhilarating. Just the right blend of wit adds to this wonderful listen. Don.t take my word for it, listen to the sample.
Where I fault the series is that way too much information is presented here for the introductory course. I did manage to totally enjoy this listen even though I felt at times over my head.
I totally recommend this audiobook.
"Very disappointed"
There are so many bad points, where to begin ....
This is a five hour audiobook but way too much time is spent on WWI (over 1 hour)
Generals like Omar Bradley, Douglas MacArthur, and Sir Bernard Law Montgomery are hardly even mentioned
Many instances of historically incorrect information.
Many battles ( Market Garden, Kursk, Monte Casino and alot more ) aren't mentioned
Need I saw more?
I bought this audiobook mostly because of George C. Scott however, the performance was dry and fast paced making the audiobook very boring to listen to.
There are many books out there on WWII far better then this one.
Do yourself a favor and check them out before buying this one
"A good listen"
Very very very good account of the relationships of Pope Pius XI and the future Pius XII with Benito Musillini and to a lesser degree, Adolph Hitler.
Pius XI originally was please to find a working partner in Il Duce as he saw the chance for the Vatican to grow in influence against Pius XI's two ideological enemies, the Protestant Movement and Communism. Additionally Pius XI did not believe in a representational type of government.
Where Pius XI began to have serious rifts with Musillini was over the newly passed anti-Semitic laws. Pius XI believed that christian compassion should extend to the Jews. Additionally, Pius XI also held different ideas when it came to baptized catholic jews.
The future Piux XII, the papal secretary of state, favored strong ties to Mussilini and by extension, Adolph Hitler. Upon XI's death, XII ordered the total ban on the yet unpublished XI's papal encyclical which was viewed as very unfavorable to Hitler and Musillini. Both XI and XII have "a lot of 'splanin to do." Pius XII always had a cloud of antisemitism hanging over his head and this book greatly adds to that belief
Buyer beware tho ..... Lots and lots of Italian names most of which are superfluous to the main story.
"A return to 1972"
This book is about the history of the 1972 Munich Olympics. These games most remembered for the terrorist attack on the Israeli athletes, is not the main topic of the book This is a complete history of Munich games from the very beginning stages the the final ending ceremonies.
This audiobook is broken into two parts. FEEL FREE TO FAST FORWARD THROUGH THE FIRST PART, as most of this part is boring. I just couldnt get into the history of german architecture.
The second part is the main gusto of the book. It is here where all of the action takes place. From Marck Spitz to Olga Korbut, the full flavor of the games come to life. As if that wasnt enough, the mens finals in basketball between the US and USSR is detailed
There was a lot more to the Munich games besides terrorism. This book succeeds in telling us.
"A hard review to write"
This is a book written by Otto Dietrich. Dietrich was Press Chief for the Nazi party and Adolph Hitler beginning in 1931.In addition, he joined the SS and rose to the rank of SS-Obergruppenführer ( roughly equivalent to 2-star major general.
Make no mistake about it, Dietrich was a hard core Nazi.
Dietrich had a familiar relationship with Hitler but never pierced his inner circle. Because of this lack of intimacy, most of what is in this book is common knowledge. In addition, in areas where he could have imparted a lot of information ( ex. Geli Raubau and Eva Braun ) hardly any information is given.
The book however has its strong points. The author describes Joseph Goebbels and Joachim von Ribbentrop ( Dietrich's superiors ) in great detail. The author obviously disliked both men intensely. In addition, Martin Bormann and Rudolph Hess get alot of attention.
After listening to this book, I feel that Otto Dietrichs buyers remorse when it comes to Hitler is not genuine. One did not become an SS-Obergruppenführer without being an ardent nazi inside and out.
Despite this, if you had an extra credit lying around, you could use it here. If you get used to the narrators delivery style, the book is an easy listen.
"Great lecture series"
This is only the third audiobook Ive given 5 / 5 / 5 stars to
A tremendous lecture series presented by Prof. Gallagher. The professor does such a great job presenting this course to us that no maps are necessary as you need for so many other military works. Each general is presented with both his strengths and faults not only individually but how each general inter reacted with each other and how this affected the total picture
On a personal note Id have liked to hear about Nathen Bedford Forrest
Buy this series
"A good book but ....."
.... the narrator ruins the listen by his constant mispronunciation of many German names and cities. How anyone could pronounce the name KEITEL as Kah-tall is beyond me.
The author disagrees with most historians on the point of whether or not England or France could have stopped Hitler prior to 1939. The author believes that England and France were not of the mindset to successfully challenge Hitler in any way militarily. While most historians believe this to be true, the author takes it a step further and believes that Germany would have been victorious in any pre-1939 engagement. Even though the conclusions the author reaches are not universally accepted, the book is still a good listen and is recommended. If only a better narrator had been employed .....
"Hot and Cold."
Im going to keep this review kind of short because the main problem with this book is that for half of the book, it is totally boring. The overall history of the trial is presented with way too much useless information. Just when the book actually gets interesting and you feel the story taking on speed, the author feels compelled to ruin, it. Then it gets going again and again it hits a brick wall.
There is alot of information presented here and the history buff, if he can plow through it, might enjoy this book more then I did.
"Charles K, author and narrator ..... enuf said"
Charles Krauthammer is by far the most revered and most respected political columnist in Washington today. For thirty years, he has written editorials first as a Mondale democrat and today as a born again conservative. This book is a collection of Charles' writings that go back 30 some odd years.
It is interesting to witness the author's evolution from liberal to conservatism. According to the author, he didnt leave the democratic party, they left him. The chapter dealing with his brother Marcel was heart warming.
I have a challenge to all liberals who feel compelled to vote no on this review simply because the author is a conservative fox news commentator. Listen to the 5 minute sample. If there are any factual errors, then feel free to vote no. But if everything the author said is true, then spend the credit and buy this book. Even if you disagree with the authors political stance, there are many areas of this book that will grip you.
The best part of this book is the author reading this to us instead of someone else.

Google's official announcement regarding its new approach to China has been escalated to the diplomatic exchange between Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chinese officials, who denied any role in the attacks.
Although the decision may be business in nature, Google's market share in China is not big while there are more and more political risks in keeping their business in China. The 10 years sentence of mainland Chinese journalist Shi Tao is the most well known case in which Yahoo! (Hong Kong) provided the Chinese government with Shi's email information as evidence for the prosecution.
After global petition to the Korean Film Council (KOFIC), it released a public letter to explain the fact and situation. It explained that it conducted a public tender to find a managing team for the Media Center in 2009, instead of appointing MediACT as the operator. However, considering MediACT's 7 years of experience and 300-pages planning document, some critics still questioned the fairness of the procedure. The formal response from MediACT is yet to be seen. But some independent people already raise some issues and questions. For example, why is a new management team able to oust MediACT who had been running the center for 7 years.
The public letter by KOFIC is shown as below:
What could we learn from Google's withdrawal in China? Evan Williams, the co-founder and CEO of Twitter, had an idea. "We are partially blocked in China and other places and we were in Iran as well," he said at the World Economic Forum in Davos. "The most productive way to fight that is not by trying to engage China and other governments whose very being is against what we are about." Moreover, Williams mentioned that Twitter is now developing technology to prevent government censorship. In fact, Twitter runs across multiple mediums including the Internet and mobile devices, as well as modify the Hosts file, use Tweeter tool to set up their own Twitter API and use Dabr and other third-party sites and softwares, secure their advantage over a singular website to avoid government censorship.
*Liu Shih-Diing and Lou Lai-Chu Ivy have just published an article titled "The Internet as Macau's Alternative Public Sphere." in Mass Communication Research(Issue no. 102, January, 2010, p. 253-293). What follows is a summary. For the full version, please go here.
Liu and Lou highlight the importance of the resistant or alternative meanings generated in the Internet in Macau, a city in which the mainstream media and political institutions fail to help people to voice out and monitor the government. Hence, the Internet becomes a field formed by contesting discourses in which the people engage in the struggle for discursive power and resistant spaces. Since the handover in 1999, the Internet has played an important role in engaging people in political and social controversies. However, according to the authors' observation, the public sphere enabled by the Internet in Macau is still a "weak" one without substantial power to initiate social reform.
There are several online communities active in political and social mobilization in Hong Kong. One of them is Hong Kong Golden forum, its members are very critical of the Government and active in coordinating protests and demonstrations. However, recently, the CEO of the forum, Joe Lam (林祖舜)openly supported more legislation on cyber bullying.

Best Kids Parties: Wild Wonders
My Party
Name: Noah, 7
Location: Springville, UT
My son Noah just turned 7 and he had such a fun party. I heard a couple of months ago about a company called Wild Wonders here in Utah that you can hire to bring animals to your party. Noah loves animals and was beyond thrilled.
Thanks, Rachael! You can see more at the Olson Family blog...

How fun!! I would have loved wild exotic animals to come to my party as a kid. Heck I would like it now! What a great idea. I really love the colors of the party too.Noah is a very lucky boy!
Very neat - love the blue/green colors too. Did you make the "happy birthday" banner? I love it!
julie_k. Thanks! We did make it. We just printed the letters off the computer, cut them out, punched holes in them and hung them with bakers twine.

This is ready for grading. Please grade it before gift claiming on the 26th.
It was Christmas eve. A little girl, Shadow, crept down the staircase. The living room was glowing with light from the fire. The tree stood in the left corner and was visible from the stairs. There were little lights strung all over it, with ornaments of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Long dark brown hair tumbled around a pretty face still round with baby fat. Large brown eyes took on a orange gleam as the fire reflected off them. Shadow gasped as she saw a man in red and white bending over near the fireplace. She slipped down the stairs and looked at the man.
"Who are you?" she said, startling the man. He jumped, banging his head on the top of the fireplace. He fell backwards, nearly flattening Shadow. Stunned, Shadow just looked at the man.
"Death!" She cried, fat tears rolling down her cheeks. At once, her older brother, Deathius, came running down the stairs. His inky black hair fell into his blue eyes. He brushed the hair out of his eyes and pulled his white T-shirt down over his black pajama pants.
"What is it, Firebird?" Deathius used the pet name he had come up with for his sister.
"I think I killed Santa!" Shadow shut her eyes as more tears leaked out. Deathius wiped her tears away with his shirt.
"Calm down, Firebird. You didn't kill anyone." Deathius gave his sister a quick hug before peering over at the man on the floor. He was laying on his stomach, so Deathius rolled him over. Shadow looked at him. He had dark skin and really long black hair. He wasn't fat, Shadow noticed. Santa was fat. Was this guy really Santa? He had to be, Shadow decided. He was dressed in red and white, wasn't he? She thought to herself.
"Dang, Firebird. What did you do to him?" Deathius looked over at her.
"I asked him who he was. Then he died." Shadow's lower lip trembled as tears threatened to spill over.
"He's not dead, just unconscious." Unconscious. Shadow whispered the word to herself as she poked Santa Claus. "Stop that!" Deathius whispered, frowning. Shadow poked him again.
"Firebird," Deathius warned. "Stop that."
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to touch dead Santa."
"What am I going to do with you, Firebird?" He sighed, rubbing his hand against his temple. The little voice inside Shadow's head told her to poke dead Santa again. Making sure that Deathius wasn't looking before she sank her finger into his side.
"Kid, you got to stop doing that." The man moaned, rubbing his head. Shadow stared at him for a few seconds before screaming. Her scream jolted Deathius out of the dream he had just been having.
"Firebird!" Deathius rushed over to Shadow, who was hiding in a corner. "What's wrong?"
"Santa's not dead!" she yelled, terrified. "He's definitely not dead, Death."
"Shush, Firebird," Deathius said. "Take my hand and we'll find him." Scooping up her favorite stuffed animal, Shadow grasped Deathius' pinkie finger. For every step Deathius took, Shadow had to take three. She frowned as she tried to keep up. They entered the living room again.
"See? He's gone! I think he wants to kill us in return for killing him." Shadow peeked behind her to make sure Santa wasn't sneaking up to stab them.
"Where do you get these ideas? And even if he wanted revenge, you'd be the one he'd kill since you killed him." Deathius whispered.
"They just pop in my head," Shadow replied. "Usually when I'm going potty. And you just said he didn't die." Deathius sighed when he heard his sister's words.
"Dad," Deathius looked up at the ceiling. "Why did you have to die and leave me with Shadow?"
"Because you need to exorcist some patience." Shadows smiled up at her brother.
"It's exercise." Deathius ruffled her hair.
"Oh. Is he still going to kill us?"
"No, Firebird."
"All right, but when I die, I'm going to haunt you for the rest of your life." Deathius looked down at his four year old sister, who was all wide eyed innocence. "Since we're here now, can we open presents?" Shadow gave Deathius a smile.
"No. We still have to find Santa, remember?"
"Oh, yeah. He's hiding behind the couch."
"What?" Deathius let go of Shadow's hand and peeked around the couch. Sure enough, Santa was hiding behind it. "Who are you?" He demanded.
"I'm your uncle, Ronnie. I decided since your parents died I would bring you presents to get over the pain."
"Mom died four years ago. Dad died two years after."
"Oh. I thought it happened this year."
"Get out."
"Right, kid." The man, Ronnie, hitched his pants up. "You might want to keep an eye out for that one. She's going to end up murdering someone."
"Out!" Deathius pointed to the front door, a few feet away.
Shadow hopped out of bed, screaming in delight as she ran down the hall to the living room. She found the gifts with her name on them, beautifully wrapped. She tore open the boxes and screamed even louder. One was a Poke Ball. Shadow smoothed her hand over the red and white ball. She pressed the button in the middle. Red light shot out and a small orange Pokemon came out. It had wings that fluttered so fast. The little Pokemon had three faces that grinned at her.
"Death!" Shadow shouted. "Look what I got for Christmas!"
"Yeah," Deathius' voice came from behind her. "It's a Combee."
"What happened then?" Dante's voice broke through the illusion my story had made. I frowned. He looked like a little boy, even though he was sixteen. Dante had white hair, pure green eyes, and pale skin.
"Well, A few days later, my Combee splattered all over someone's windshield." My face fell at the memory. "Poor Honey died." That was what I had named her.
"Oh, my gosh," Dante said, his jaw dropping. "It died?"
"Broken Shadows Phoenix, I know you are not telling lies to Dante."
"It's not a lie if he believes them!" I grinned as I raced away from my angry uncle, Valkyrian. His dark green eyes held a world of emotions. "And that's how I killed Santa!" I called over my shoulder. I raced on until I fell into a creek. I guess that's what I got for lying. Being me was so hard.

When I was a kid, my grandparents discovered a cool Chicago-style deep dish pizza restaurant in Commack, NY. (I have no idea whether it is still there.) Every time my parents told me we were going there, I'd be so excited! The deep, doughy, cheesy pie was so very different from the traditional NY-area pies we got at our local pizzeria.
In the years since, I've had Pizzeria Uno's deep-dish pies, but never again anything like that unnamed restaurant. Until this week. You see, I was in Chicago on business, in meetings all evening Wednesday and Thursday. On Wednesday night, we were served sandwiches and salads, and I took my opportunity to say "Hey, these sandwiches are great, but do you think tomorrow night we could have deep dish pizza?
Luckily, I wasn't the only one interested, and the very next night three delightfully gigantic pizzas showed up around dinnertime. Mmmm! One meat, one veggie, and one plain. I went for the plain first.
It was delicious! The crust was sort of pastry-like (think Bisquick-ish) and the mozzarella filling practically shouted at me "I'm about to raise your cholesterol!". The barely-seasoned sauce was on top of the whole thing, which was nice for me because it was just the slightest bit drier than sauce that sits under the cheese on a standard NY-style slice. And of course I topped it with grated cheese, because clearly there wasn't enough cheese already.
Delicious. So good in fact that I had to try the veggie.
And that was even more delicious! The onions, the green peppers, the mushrooms all came together with the cheese and the sauce and the dough to form a perfectly zesty, flavorful, deep taste sensation! I ate way more than my stomach had room for, just to really get the most out of this experience.
By the time I went to sleep that night, I still felt completely full. Like Thanksgiving dinner full. But it was worth it—and I also comforted myself with the knowlege that I'd never eat pizza like that (or in that quantity!) again. At least until my next trip to Chicago.

Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge Complex is continuing to develop Comprehensive Conservation Plans (CCP) for Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge and the Black River Unit of Nisqually NWR with the help of the public, partners, and interested stakeholders. The CCPs will guide management of these Refuges over the next 15 years.
Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge Complex includes Nisqually and Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuges.
Nisqually is managed as part of the Nisqually NWR Complex.
The National Wildlife Refuge System, within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, manages a national network of lands and waters set aside to conserve America's fish, wildlife, and plants.
On the beautiful, sunny morning of June 6, the Refuge Visitor Center was officially named in honor of Retired Congressman Norm Dicks, whose efforts were of exceptional importance in the shaping of Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. In additional to the guest of honor, the ceremony was attended by over 200 individuals.
What's it all about? What is there to see? If you're eager to learn more about the wildlife and history at Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, consider joining us for a class or a walk around the estuary's complex blend of habitats, led by a passionate and experienced guide.
In the spring of 2008, the Refuge released a quarterly newsletter called The Flyway. The newsletter chonicles the estuary restoration, has articles about wildlife, contains event reminders and schedules, and generally describes what's been going on at the Refuge.

To Prepare for an Predictably Unpredictable Future, Learn to Unlearn

"I don't understand," said the … [Read More...]
Unlearning: Learning For The Thinking Person

One of Ford's big announcements at this year's NAIAS is the indian generic viagra new C-Max, a car which will be available in two different models with different styles of hybrid propulsion on the same body and buy cheap levitra online frame. Ford has seen competitors Toyota and Chevrolet going after the hybrid and electric vehicle market with two different approaches. Toyota has the hybrid Prius which couples electric drive with a gas engine; Chevrolet has the Volt which is an electric drive car that uses its gas engine as a generator for extended range travel. The competition between the two strategies doesn't have a clear winner, so Ford is http://eatingdisorderrecovery.com/levitra-cheapest pursuing both rather than picking one over the other.
The Ford C-Max Energi will be a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. Like the Chevy Volt, it will be able to travel in all-electric mode, though its range has not yet been established. However, Ford has announced that the cheap discount viagra total range for the vehicle once the gas engine kicks in will be more than 500 miles (800 kilometers), more than any other plug-in or extended-range electric vehicle. Ford also says the C-Max Energi will have better charge-sustaining fuel economy than the Chevrolet Volt.
The other model will be the Ford C-Max Hybrid. Like the Toyota Prius, it will be a very efficient hybrid using electric motor in conjunction with the gas engine to make a vehicle that is "targeted to deliver better fuel economy than the 41 mpg Ford Fusion Hybrid."
Both versions of the levitra C-Max will use new lithium-ion batteries, which are increasingly being chosen for their lighter weight and greater energy storage capacity. Another feature will be the "Brake Coach" which helps drivers learn to take best advantage of www.strattonpublishing.com the regenerative braking capapbilities offered on both versions of the car. The C-Max is based on what Ford calls the "global C-car platform" five-passenger multi-activity vehicle which has been available in Europe for several years. Both C-Max vehicles will be available in North America in 2012 and Europe in 2013.
