Most people choose a gas grill because of the convenience…
You simply turn a knob and start cooking in minutes. But, the performance of the grill can be really quite different, from one model to another, and the differences can naturally determine the quality of your food as well as the grilling process itself.
The common problems people experience with gas grills are the slow heating surface, too cold and too hot surface at different places at the same time, baking space too small, smoking process taking too long or isn't happening at all, rust, or many other.
If you want to get the most out of your backyard cooking, what you need is a well designed, responsive, and durable grill. We have put together a buyer's guide to help you in choosing your grill, and also 6 short reviews of good gas grills for under $300.
A Buyer's Guide – How To Choose A Great Gas Grill
When choosing the right gas grill for you, there are many different things to consider. There isn't necessarily the right or the wrong grill configuration, but there are certain things that are better in every situation. We will now discuss those things and other differences between gas grills, enabling you to make an informed decision and find the grill that's right for you.
Grill Burners
As you probably already know, there are two kinds of grilling: direct and indirect.
With direct grilling, you put the food right over the fire and cook it quickly, like you would for burgers or stakes. For this you need strong heat, evenly spread across the grill's surface.
When selecting a grill, check the feedback from the previous buyers and also check online if there are videos for this particular grill you want, where the grill's heating pattern has been checked. This checkup is usually performed with white bread test, where you place white bread slices all over the grill's surface.
If the heat is spread evenly across the entire surface, all of the slices will be baked to a nice golden crisp in the same time. If not, some will burn, while others will stay pale and soft.
Smoking Capability
This is what's called the indirect cooking or grilling. Here you need low and slow, steady heat over a long period of time in a closed grill. It is very important that you have burners that can bring that meat up to a 200° in a decent time frame, and keep it there. Very few grills can do this.
Also, burner placement and airflow direction are crucial for this process. Most gas grills have vents at the back of the box, and because of that the heat travels up and then across the meat to the back of the box. If the burners are placed vertically, from front to back, all those places in between the burners will be much colder than those that are directly above them.
A much better choice is a grill that has its burners placed horizontally, viewed from the cook's position, from side to side. Here, the heat travels up and then across the surface of the entire grill to the vents at the back of the box, heating and smoking your meat evenly.
Flame Tamers or Flavorizer Bars
These are the little tent-like pieces of metal that are placed over the burners but under the grill bars. They have numerous important roles, like spreading heat because they keep the heat from traveling directly up from the burners, and instead spread it quite a bit, giving you a more even heat spread.
They also catch the drippings, keeping them from hitting the burners and also allowing the drip to vaporize and smoke your meat.
So, a good grill should have as many of these as possible. There are some grills that also utilize ceramics for this, but they will cost more because of that, naturally.
The Cook Box
If the grill has a thick and heavy duty cook box it will create an oven-like effect, which will keep the heat and radiate it evenly within. If the grill has a thin and flimsy box however, this will cause a heavy temperature loss and result in many difficulties like longer cook times, inability to reach certain temperatures, etc…
Also, if the cook box has too many vents at the back, it will result in heat and smoke loss, leaving your meat undercooked.
The best way to go is to have a thick cast aluminum cook box, with ideally a single vent large enough (about a half inch wide across the entire back of the box) to keep the air flow going, but not too large to cause heat and smoke loss.
So, considering these things, a good grill should have a thick box with a single vent, with numerous flavorizer bars over the burners for heat and smoke distribution, and those burners should be positioned side to side.
Size is also important and while you may think that a small grill is good enough for your family, a larger grill will give you more versatility and allow for a simultaneous cooking, saving you time.

The grill has two stainless steel burners that both put out 26,500 BTU per hour, achieving very high temperatures with very low gas consumption rate.
The cooking grates are made of cast-iron and are porcelain enameled, but more importantly, the flavorizer bars are also porcelain enameled, which means the heat will be distributed evenly and much more efficiently than in other grills with plain bars.

Hello I'm an old-new user. Disappointed. Here, have some feedback you can ignore as per Microsoft guidelines.
1) Skydrive can't... refuse! to guarantee that my files are safe, privacy and secure. Example: megaupload.
2) Don't have a microsoft store in this country, thank spaghetti monster!
3) Stop whoring out yourself. I don't want to waste my VERY limited life watching ads. How low can microsoft sink?! Microsoft got aids! No doubt about it.
What have channel9 become?! It were nearly-useful. Now just desperately whoring out itself to whatever it can. Disgusting to say the least.
@Kate - I'm glad you didn't pull a Kelly Cuoco and hack all your hair off.

CHESTERTOWN, Md. – The Salisbury University men's and women's tennis teams split their matches with Washington (Md.) College on Thursday afternoon. The women picked up a 7-2 win while the men fell to the Shoremen by the same score.
The Salisbury women (10-9) picked up all three doubles matches with junior Victoria Handlin and freshman Allison Lutz grabbing the Sea Gulls' first point with an 8-2 win at No. 3 doubles. Junior Jillian Poppe and freshman Roxanne Alban made it 2-0 with an 8-4 win at No. 1; the victory was the duo's 12th of the season. Junior Elaina Iosue and freshman Katie Youlios finished off the doubles sweep by pulling out an 8-6 win at No. 2.
Iosue was able to put Salisbury on the brink of victory with a 6-2, 6-2 win at No. 2 singles before the Shorewomen (10-7) got their first point on the board with a win at No. 3. Handlin sealed the Salisbury win with a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 5.
Youlios earned a hard-fought win at No. 4, 7-6 (7-5), 6-2, while Lutz picked up a 6-1, 6-0 victory at No. 6.
The men (9-10) took a 1-0 lead with senior Justin Smith and junior Adam Goldberger winning 8-6 at No. 2 doubles. Washington (9-6) drew even with an 8-5 win at No. 3 and pulled ahead with a 9-8 (7-4) win from Kevin Papen and Aaron Ellison at No. 1 doubles. The loss at No. 1 for senior Daniel Barnas and freshman Daniel Albers was their first since March 21, snapping a 12-match winning streak.
Barnas earned Salisbury's lone singles win, taking his No. 1 match against Papen, 6-2, 6-2. Senior Curtis Quandt battled to a narrow 7-6 (7-5), 6-2 loss at No. 3.
The women have completed their regular season.

The Best PayPal Alternatives
Even if you ignore the nearly ubiquitous consumer wallet, PayPal (see our review) is a pretty comprehensive and trusted payments solution for merchants all around the world. But of course, it's not for everyone. Whether you've had trouble with your account previously or you prefer to not deal with PayPal to start with, you can breathe a sigh of relief: There's no shortage of great PayPal alternatives.
PayPal is one of the rare payment processors that caters to nearly every sort of business. It offers payment processing for in-app, ecommerce transactions, and in-person transactions, as well as invoicing, a virtual terminal, and recurring billing. That's not to mention PayPal's developer tools and API. Not many other businesses that offer all of that rolled into one.
So to make things easier, I've broken down the list of PayPal alternatives into two categories: gateway services (including ecommerce and in-app payments) "all-in-one" processors with online and in-person solutions.
Now, with all that covered, let's get into it.
The Best PayPal Alternatives For Gateway Services
Here, we're looking at payment options that offer shopping cart integrations, buy buttons, recurring billing and credit card vaults, as well as an API and developer tools. This also includes powering in-app payments.
Here's what you can expect to pay for these services through PayPal:
- 2.9% + $0.30 per online transaction
- $30/month for PayPal Virtual Terminal
- $10/month for recurring billing
- Nonprofit and volume discounts available
If you want to know more about all of PayPal's features, I encourage you to check out our full PayPal review. And don't forget to check out the complete reviews for each of these PayPal alternatives if you want to know more!
Braintree Payment Solutions
Throwing Braintree (see our review) in here as an alternative seems like a bit of a cheat, given that PayPal owns Braintree. However, despite this (and a seamless PayPal integration) Braintree does operate mostly independently of its parent company. Instead of aggregating accounts the way PayPal does, Braintree offers individual bank-sponsored merchant accounts. Braintree is developer-friendly with extensive documentation and a powerful API that you can integrate into all kinds of mobile and online payment applications. It also handles currency conversion so you can sell globally and display items in local currencies.
Braintree offers marketplace tools, as well as APIs for sharing information, so merchants can sell directly on their own sites or through someone else's site or app, which is all pretty cool.
Braintree Pricing
- 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction
- Nonprofit and volume discounts available
- All other features included at no extra charge
Stripe (see our review) and Braintree have a lot of similarities. For one, they both target online and in-app payments. They both work on a global scale, displaying local currencies and handling the exchanging of currencies for its merchants. They make it possible to power marketplaces and share information so merchants can sell on others' platforms. Stripe is built first and foremost for developers, and its API and documentation reflect that.
The primary difference between Stripe and Braintree is that Stripe, like PayPal, is an aggregator. That is, it lumps all of its user accounts into communal merchant accounts. That means account stability more akin to PayPal than Braintree.
But despite that, Stripe has a couple of really interesting tools that Braintree doesn't. First, its Atlas program allows international entrepreneurs to get established in the US. Second, it has a tool that allows programmers to manage and organize their data through custom SQL database questions.
Stripe Pricing
- 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction
- Nonprofit and volume discounts available
- Marketplace costs may differ
- All other features included at no extra charge
PayJunction (see our review) is one of our top-rated merchant account providers. Its defining characteristic is its paperless payments, which is awesome to see. But dig a little bit deeper and you'll find a developer-friendly payment solution that works not just with retail, but with online payments as well. In addition to the virtual terminal (that even accepts checks), recurring billing, and credit card vault, PayJunction offers a free shopping cart of its own plus several integrations. There's also a full-stack API to play with. And you can collect signatures for card-not-present transactions.
The major advantage to PayJunction is that you get your own merchant account, which leads to greater account stability. PayJunction also offers an interchange-plus plan. However, this option is best suited for merchants who consistently process more than $10,000 per month. Below that and you'll encounter a monthly fee.
PayJunction Pricing
- Interchange plus 0.75% markup
- $35 monthly fee for users processing less than $10,000/month
- No other monthly fees
- Rate match available
The Best PayPal Alternatives For All-In-One Solutions
One of the biggest draws for PayPal is its unified platform. You really can accept payments anywhere, anytime, and send all of the funds right to your PayPal account. If you need that seamless, all-in-one experience, here are our favorite options:
CDGcommerce (see our review) presents itself as a merchant account provider specializing in ecommerce, which I don't see very often. However, it does offer a solid mix of online and in-person transaction features — plus an interchange-plus pricing plan and nonprofit discount to boot.
The most feature most obviously lacking is an API for custom integrations and other developer features. CDG's gateway, Quantum, is compatible with most shopping carts and has an Authorize.Net emulation mode to ensure compatibility with anything else. CDG also offers the choice of using Authorize.Net as its primary gateway at no additional charge. Every account also gets virtual terminal access at no extra charge.
If you want in-person payments, you can get a POS app or an mPOS app in addition to all the ecommerce features.
CDGcommerce Pricing
- Interchange plus 0.30% + $0.15 for online transactions
- Interchange plus 0.25% + $0.10 for swiped transactions
- Interchange plus 0.20% + $0.10 for nonprofits
- $10 monthly support fee
Authorize.Net (see our review) started strictly as a gateway, but these days it's started bundling its own processing service. It's a reseller relationship — meaning the company sets you up with a merchant account through a partner, though Authorize.Net doesn't disclose which one up front. You can also opt for the gateway separately. However, in many cases, it's actually less expensive to get the Auth.Net gateway through a merchant account that has a partnership. They'll often waive the setup fee and sometimes lower the monthly fees.
Authorize.Net is still one of the most trusted names in gateways, and one of the most widely compatible options. That's no small thing. Not only that, but Auth.Net has an API for you to integrate into all sorts of solutions, including in-app payments. There's even a basic mPOS app basic buy/donate buttons.
Authorize.Net Pricing
- $49 setup fee
- $25 monthly fee
- 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction (with merchant account and gateway)
- $0.10 per-transaction fee (with gateway only)
- $0.10 daily batch fee (with gateway only)
If you've heard of PayPal — especially if you dislike PayPal — the odds are pretty good you've heard of Square. What started as just an mPOS has branched out considerably over the year, becoming a full-fledged business ecosystem, as we discuss in our full review.
In addition to its free mPOS and POS integrations, Square offers a free online store, free domain, shopping cart integrations, virtual terminal, card info storage vault, and invoicing. That's not to mention the APIs or the monthly add-on services (including employee management, payroll, and appointment booking). Square's free online store is somewhat limited compared to other options, but it is extremely simple to set up. If you need something more complex, the API and ecommerce integrations allow for more advanced online stores.
Like PayPal, Square is a third-party aggregator, That means Square users do face the same inherent account instability as PayPal users. But the sheer value of what you get for nothing beyond the cost of processing is astounding, which is a major reason Square is easily the closest direct competitor to PayPal (it even has a consumer wallet, Square Cash).
Square Pricing
- 2.75% per in-person transaction
- 3.5% + $0.15 per manual transaction
- 2.9% + $0.30 per invoice or online transaction
- Additional fees apply for add-on services
Final Thoughts: Which Is The Best PayPal Alternative?
Whatever your reason for wanting to avoid PayPal, you can rest easy knowing there are plenty of reliable alternatives. It really comes down to what you need for your business: Do you only sell online or in apps? Do you need an all-in-one omnichannel commerce setup?
As always, we encourage you to do the research yourself and crunch some numbers to make sure that the rates offered by a processor work for you and your business.

Last weekend marked the annual bonanza of silver-screen goodness that is the Oxford International Film Festival. Despite being only in its second year, the festival offered an impressive mixture of features, shorts, and Q and A sessions.
Jericho's Phoenix Picturehouse played host to the action, with films screened through the long weekend of 5-7 May. Top billed was Stephen Cookson's Stanley a Man of Variety, a surreal drama centring on Timothy Spall's hallucinating prison inmate. Spall himself appeared on the opening night, answering questions on his character's fantastic journey through multiple personalities and levels of sanity.
It was a weekend for short film as well, with Oscar Isaac and Ben Wishaw starring in Lightningface and One Night in Atlanta respectively. Rounded off with a strong documentary showing, including exploration of the music scene in post-Katrina New Orleans One Note at a Time, the festival was a resounding success for filmmakers and viewers alike.

Immigration matters are often considered a formality when visiting another country. If it is your first time out of your home country or your first time into Mexico we have some tips on this essential but straightforward process.
Most people arrive in Mexico by air. On your flight, your flight crew will give you documentation to fill out. One form is a customs form. The other is a "Forma Migratoria Multiple," or FMM, or commonly known as a tourist card, tourist visa, or visitors visa. You can complete these forms on the plane. The forms ask you the basics: name, nationality, passport number, date of birth, the airline and flight number you arrived on.
Tip #1. Bring a pen to complete the forms. Flight crews never have pens.
Tip #2. If the flight crew does not have the forms on board the plane, you can get the forms at the immigration at the Cancun Airport.
Immigration hack: You can get your tourist card form and complete it online.
When you go through Immigration, an immigration officer will stamp your passport and your tourist visa. The tourist visa has two parts, they keep one part, and give you back the other. It is vital that you keep this piece of paper with you.
Tip #3. DON'T LOSE YOUR TOURIST CARD
We don't mean to shout, but keeping track of your tourist card is muy importante. Losing this one piece of paper can cost you and your family a lot of money. Before leaving the country, you must turn in the half of your tourist visa to airport personnel. If you don't have your tourist visa (FMM) when leaving, you can expect to wait in line at the immigration counter at the airport terminal, complete more paperwork and pay a fine of about $40 USD per lost tourist card. You can see how this can add up if your entire family misplaces their tourist visas. Plus, it causes undue stress and possibly a missed flight if you arrived at the airport late.
Tip #4. If you are paying a fine for a lost tourist card, Immigration does not accept credit cards. Only Mexican Pesos, USD and Euros. There is an ATM in the terminal if you are out of cash.
Tip #5. It is recommended to arrive at the airport 3 hours before departure, especially in the winter season when the airport is busy.

One of the perks of traveling is having the chance to get your hands on those exotic fruits.If you are planning to visit Bali, sampling local food and fresh fruits are the easiest way to experience local culture. We love our exotic fruits in Bali, be it as desserts, snacks or fruits basket gifts for the host at a party. It is also customary to bring a fruits basket when visiting someone at a hospital as a token of well-wishes. Some of these exotic fruits are also available in another part of South East Asia. And now, without further ado let's explore the top 10 exotic fruits to try in Bali.
1. Red Dragon Fruit or Pitaya (Buah Naga or Dragon Merah)There is nothing like preparing this succulent dragon fruit for your breakfast. There are 2 kinds available at the market: red dragon fruit and white dragon fruit. Our favorite is the red ones, we find it tastier. It actually has a light sweet taste, quite juicy, it does not exactly have a strong taste. I imagine it would be a great mix in juices or dessert. You will need a knife to cut it open and scoop away with a teaspoon!
The plant itself is quite peculiar as it resembles a cactus with its "tentacles", its exotic fruits can be harvested on the 50th day after its flowers have bloomed. Harvested between September to March, the plant can live up to 30 years. Easily found during a wet season, it is sold per kilo as cheap as 10,000 IDR onward. I'll say let's get 5 kilos?

There's nothing more I'd like right now than for all of this snow to melt, and for spring to arrive. Anybody with me? Part of the reason I want to get outdoors is to watch my kids try out the new glow-in-the-dark sidewalk chalk and colored bubbles from Crayola debuting next month. This is not your childhood sidewalk chalk–and your kids get to make the magic themselves. Simply mix the colored chalk powder, special "glow activator" and water and then pour into the chalk mold tray. Once it sets (about 30 minutes later), you've got your very own Washable Glow Chalk! I'm especially eager to see the illuminating effect on nights when there's a full moon because we're situated right across the street from a pond, and the moon casts an amazing glow off the water as it is. Imagine how these colors will pop in the moonlight! We're also bubbling over with excitement for the Washable Colored Bubbles line. Available in crazy hues like Purple Pizzaz, Wild Blue Yonder and Screamin' Green, this bubbles are begging to be blown! We think they'll make a colorful addition to this spring's Easter baskets. Be sure to hop on out and pick up some for your kiddies.
In a Nutshell: Drab colors of winter making you and your little ones a little blue? Here are some fun ways to inject a little color into their lives, and a wonderful way to enhance outdoor play.

What I recommend is individuals to purchase one of the best they will afford and the goal is to all the time make better and higher alpacas. If you buy cheaper alpacas you continue to have a approach to go to get a good herd. It is quality versus quantity. I put collectively packages with a pair females and a male which are pretty cheap. It is actually a wide range relying on what you might be looking for. Every time he walks right into a ring he wins a championship.

2nd Sunday of Advent
Originally delivered on December 8, 1991
Readings: Readings: Baruch 5:1-9; Philippians 1:4-6,8-11; Luke 3:1-6
We are challenged to let the martyrs in El Salvador to make us wonder how well we receive the Gospel to level the mountains and fill up the valleys. Are we answering the call to our own prophesy? Furthermore, we are reminded that the goal of the prophet is not to always be right, but rather, to be be sincere to our conscience. The words of today's Gospel should be our encouragement because we will see the glory of our God.
15th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Readings: Amos 7: 12-15; Ephesians 1:3-14; Mark 6:7-13
Originally delivered on July 14, 1991
We are reminded today that it's easy to miss the full meaning of repentance beyond being sorry. It means expressing one's sorrow, regret, and shame for having done something wrong, and also turning oneself around. In today's Gospel, we hear several important considerations from Jesus to his disciples. Those are that He sent them out in pairs, told them to go without many things, and to trust in Him to provide through those they would meet. In the first reading, we also hear about the challenges faced by the prophet Amos. He was an ordinary person, a shepherd, just as we are ordinary people called to a prophetic ministry of challenge and confrontation to those that victimize others. Like Amos and Jesus, as we heard in last week's reading, as prophets, we will be challenged and rebuked. Nevertheless, we are called to challenge the comfortable notions of those that make the arrangements that leave some of our sisters and brothers marginalized. When confronted and asked who sent us, like Amos, we can be confident that God called us to be prophets.
14th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Readings: Ezekiel 2:2-5; Corinthians 12: 7-10; Mark 6:1-6
Originally delivered on July 7, 1991
Fr. Healy reminds us today that we are each called to be a prophet. And yet we must sort out what we think and believe with what is truly God's. We hear in the second reading that our humanity (sinfulness) does not excuse us from this calling of prophecy in the name of Jesus. In the gospel, through Jesus's own experience, we know that prophets are not that well received at home where they are known. We are also reminded that our most important ministry is to serve the needs of our sisters and brothers. We are asked to make personal the words in the first reading, "But you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God! And whether they heed or resist – for they are a rebellious house – they shall know that a prophet has been among them."
4th Sunday of Ordinary Time
Readings: Deuteronomy 18:15-20; Corinthians 7:32-35; Mark 1:21-28
Originally delivered on January 31, 1988
In the first reading, we hear that God will speak to us, His people, through the prophets. And to the prophets, God makes it clear that the prophets but speak for Him and not for themselves or someone other than God. In the Gospel then, we hear that Jesus spellbound those in the synagogue with his teaching with his ability to recognize and drive out evil. In the second reading, Paul speaks to the Corinthians about serving the Lord and dealing with life as married people. Fr. Healy explains that Paul, who believes that God's kingdom is near, was offering his thoughts but that others since have used his words beyond what Paul may have intended. We are implored to be discerning followers of Christ. (note that unfortunately, the tape of this homily is incomplete.)
2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Originally delivered on January 17, 1988
Readings: Samuel 3: 3-10, 19; Corinthians 6:13-15, 17-20; John 1:35-42
We are each challenged to be witnesses of Christ and have our words and deeds be in harmony with God's calling of us to be His prophets. But we also must use of gift of discernment to recognize the authentic word of God spoken by our sisters and brothers and distinguish it from the pretense of some who actually speak in their own name. Originally delivered on the eve of the celebration of the national holiday honoring Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., we are reminded that some try to question the credentials of those that preach the message of Jesus. But we are reminded that the measure for true prophecy is whether the preacher echoes the Gospel of love for all people, without exception.

He also tells Piccolo that the person who sent him back into the time machine was himself;he had to revert himself back into egg form to fit inside the time machine. The monsters suprises Piccolo by using the Kamehameha technique on Piccolo and then teleports behind Piccolo and starts sucking the life out of Piccolo's arm. Piccolo escapes with a shriveled arm by headbutting the monster in the head. The monster states that his name is Cell and that he is an android.

Easy Piano Songs
Stephen Rampur
Sep 29, 2018
We hold the opinion that everyone should learn some form of music in their lifetime, the piano being the best one of them all. And the simplest way to start up is to learn some easy and fun to play songs that you can enjoy.
It is certain that once you get to learn the basics of playing the piano, your mind is all set to try out a few piano songs. There are many different types of songs that are really easy for a novice pianist or keyboardist to play.
These simple songs contain easy-to-play notations which are very useful in getting a fair idea of how advanced chords and songs can be. After your music teacher realizes that you have got all required knowledge to play a particular song, he himself may suggest some good piano songs.

Easy Piano Songs for Kids
The best idea for teaching kids to use notes and chords on a song is to make them play the children's poems that they normally learn in school. In such a manner, they will learn piano basics and lessons in an enjoyable way.
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Baa Baa Black Sheep
London Bridge
Mary Had a Little Lamb
Yankee Doodle
Row, Row Row your Boat
Jingle Bells
Jolly Old Saint Nicholas
Hot Cross Buns
Ode to Joy
A majority of people and kids directly try to play piano songs without getting to know the fundamentals of playing the piano. By doing so, they may learn to play that particular song well, but do not get the basic understanding of playing the piano that is required to play other songs too.
Therefore, before experimenting with few of these piano songs to play, it is recommended to take some piano lessons.
After you have learned the basics of playing the piano, do not rush to play a song with both hands. First get acquainted to the single notes with your right hand, and after you get a hold of them, you can try chording techniques with the left hand.
This is just a small list of simple piano songs that can be played after you learn piano chords, notes, and scales. Hope you enjoy playing these songs with learning a lot from their tones.

Prisoner of Night and Fog
The girl known as Gretchen Whitestone has a secret: she used to be part of Adolf Hitler's inner circle. More than a year ago, she made an enemy of her old family friend and fled Munich to live in Oxford, posing as an ordinary German immigrant. Her love, Daniel Cohen, is a reporter in town, and Gretchen is content. Then a telegram sends Daniel back to Germany, and her world turns upside-down when she learns that Daniel is wanted for murder. To save him, she must return to her homeland and somehow avoid capture and recognition by her former friends, the Nazi elite. And as she and Daniel work to clear his name, they discover a deadly conspiracy stretching from the slums of Berlin to the Reichstag itself. Can they dig up the explosive truth and escape in time – or will Hitler discover them first?
I absolutely adored Prisoner of Night and Fog. I have to admit, I was worried when I heard that there was going to be a sequel, but I needn't have worried. I didn't think Conspiracy of Blood and Smoke matched the first book which I rated 5 stars, but it was still a fantastic book which I would definitely recommend.
Conspiracy of Blood and Smoke leads nicely on from the first book. Gretchen and Daniel are living away from their hometown and are feeling much safer. Daniel receives a telegram which sends him back to Germany. Gretchen ends up following him. Of course, things aren't easy in Germany. Daniel is wanted for murder and has to clear his name before they can return to their new lives. However, Gretchen and Daniel have bitten off more than they can chew, and whilst they investigate the murder they find out that they're in much more trouble than they had anticipated.
This book is definitely a fast paced read. I love that it does have some historical facts within the story. It makes it much more gritty. I also found it incredibly easy to get back into, given that it's been over a year since I read the first book in the series. I think this shows just how great Anne Blankman's writing is! The characters felt familar. It was wonderful.
The characters in this series are fantastic. I really like Gretchen and feel she has grown as a character across the books. Her beliefs have been challenged and readjusted. I felt like this book dealt with Daniel much more as well. I loved their relationship and seeing how they tackled the challenges that came their way.
Would I recommend it?:
Yes! 3.5 stars!

The only non-Japanese entrant in the world 600-class sportbike sales derby would've had the most inauspicious start of any bike in memory were it not for the amazingly awful V-Due, which bankrupted Bimota. The TT got the major dance-of-the-seven-veils press buildup two years ago, and received glowing reviews upon its launch in France. But when we finally got a production-spec TT in our clutches we found ourselves aboard a bike that ran like it needed the Heimlich maneuver: Below 4000 rpm it had a big chicken bone stuck in its throat, and above that it ran better and actually posted comparable horsepower numbers to the competition.
But the engine--more correctly, the fuel injection--clearly was not ready for prime time. Finally the Butcher delivered the coup de grace during year-2000's 600-class comparo; the TT ingested something awful, spun a bearing and had to be put down.
For '01, Triumph reprogrammed the Sagem injection computer several more times and threw in new camshafts to address low-rev driveability issues, and it was better. But the '01 model lost a little high-rev pounce in the process; not that you could much tell on the street, but you know how you people are. Spec-page performance is important, too.
Now, at last, two years late, Triumph claims to have gotten it just right with the '02 TT, and so there was nothing for it but to accept Triumph America's gracious invite to try to break one over the course of a nice, long day at the track.
Damned if they didn't get it right this time. The new TT, now on Sagem map number 13, feels like it will give any of its Japanese competitors a run for their money. OK, maybe it's down on torque a bit below 6000 rpm or so, but at least it runs nice and smooth down there. Then it pulls pretty hard to 9000 rpm, and above there you'll find-as on every 600-the real powerband. Although the torque peaks reasonably early (with 41.8 foot-pounds at 10,500 rpm) the power peak is up at 12,750 rpm (97.0 vs. the '01's 91.1). The '02 bike fills in the torque trough around 3500 rpm nicely, too.We happened to have an '02 Suzuki GSX-R600 at the track that day, which Triumph bravely allowed us to ride alongside its bikes. Off the corners and down the straights with reasonably equal riders, it seemed like the TT was able to pretty much hang with the GSX-R-quite a feat, actually-and if the Suzuki eked out a small advantage I'd have to give most of the credit to its fresh Metzeler Sportec-M1 tires. (The TT's 010 Bridgestones are fine street tires, but they already had quite a few miles on them and just aren't as trackworthy as Metzeler's latest.)
Nobody complained much about the TT chassis from day one, and, in fact, a few of our test dummies were all the more let down by the TT's engine problems because the chassis had seemed so well-sorted. Now that the engine delivers smooth power, the whole bike works much better. With 89mm of trail and a 1395mm wheelbase, the TT can't help but be nimble and quick around the Streets of Willow circuit, though tight road courses don't do anything to disguise the fact that the Triumph weighs 427 pounds before you add fuel, which is approximately 30 pounds more than its stiffest competitors-and 21 pounds heavier than the Honda CBR600F4i and Kawasaki ZX-6R.
That extra weight, or maybe slightly softer springs and damping (or maybe even just its nice cushy seat?), give the Triumph a softer, kinder ride than the hard-core Japanese 600s, and while it moves around on its suspension more than a Yamaha YZF-R6 or Suzuki GSX-R, the TT still gives highly tactile road feel that encourages early yanking of the throttle cable (and, again, better fresher tires would've helped). And Japanese brakes got nothing on the TT's. Wait, they're Japanese, too....
Most riders will be much more comfortable on the Triumph for any sort of street use, as its clip-ons are higher than the ones on the GSX-R as well as a shorter reach away. Footpegs are even higher than the GSX-R's though, and a little too rearward for some tastes. But overall, the riding position is pleasant and aided by good, compliant suspension and fine protection from the wind from the (unchanged) fairing. Unfortunately, the TT's engine is not quite as smooth as the GSX-R's.
Aside from the new fuel-injection map, Triumph says the '02 TT benefits from less internal engine friction-which we suppose could mean anything from looser bearings to thinner oil-and color-matched intake snorkels replace the previously flat-black items.
The moral of the story, then, is that now when describing the TT compared with its competitors, we have to actually give it some thought. This TT's close enough that the time has come to fall back on one of our favorite conclusions: We'll have to wait till we get all the 600s together to see just exactly where the TT stacks up. But this is definitely good news for Brit-bike fans.

In Hebrew, the phrase tikkun olam means "repairing the world."
That's exactly what 13-year-old Emily Orchant set out to do last week when she donated all of the money she received from her bat mitzvah celebration to help end the city's pet overpopulation crisis.
"I wanted to do something so animals don't get killed anymore in shelters where they have 72 hours to find a home or die," said the upper West Side eighth-grader, who loves riding horses and hanging out with her flat-coated retrievers, Ruby and Marley.
Emily has donated about $5,000 to the Toby Project, a nonprofit group run by her family's veterinarian, Dr. Andrew Kaplan.
The group provides free spay and neuter operations to low-income pet owners who could not otherwise afford to fix their pets. Emily's generous donation will cover more than 50 operations.
Left unfixed, 50 cats and dogs eventually can produce more than half a million offspring. Every day, about 70 cats and dogs are euthanized at the city Animal Care & Control shelters because there are not enough cages to hold them or people to adopt them.
This problem exists because too many pet owners allow their dogs and cats to produce unwanted litters without thinking about the consequences. It's a vicious cycle Kaplan says the city cannot adopt its way out of.
Still, one political action group leader says the city shouldn't have to rely on the generosity of New Yorkers like Emily or the handful of private organizations providing the low-cost spay and neuter operations.
"Low-cost spay and neuter clinics for low-income pet owners need to be a fundamental part of the city's services for homeless animals, not an afterthought," said Catherine Beason, president of Animal Friendly NYC.
The group has been working with the city Health Department and the Animal Care & Control shelters to create a citywide program that could dramatically reduce the number of animals that land in shelters.
A 2006 study suggested that doing 20,000 low-cost operations a year could reduce the number of animals coming into the shelters by 42% in the first year. That would not only save the city a lot of money in sheltering costs, but also would save a lot of lives.
So, where will the money come from? Dog licenses. If passed, a new bill would allow New York City to set up its own low-cost spay and neuter program using money from the $3 license surcharge required for unaltered dogs.
To date, the city Health Department has issued 29,241 dog licenses for unaltered dogs, which could generate about $10,000 - enough for more than 100 operations per month.
But the funds now go to the state-run Animal Population Control Fund, which offers spay and neuter vouchers to participating veterinarians around the state.
The bill sets up the mechanism to return those funds to city coffers, rather than being used statewide.
"It is vital that New York City receive its due share of funding from the state Animal Population Control Fund," said the bill's sponsor, Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal.
The bill passed the Assembly in June and is ready to go for a floor vote in the Senate.
Most Read
Rosenthal is urging the public to contact Senate leadership to put the bill on the agenda for the next special session.
To contact your senator, visit www.AnimalFriendlyNYC.org.
Meanwhile, the city must continue to rely on the generosity of animal lovers.
"I love animals," Emily said. "I can't think of anything else I would want to do with the money."

Housing minister Mohamed Muizzu on Wednesday met with the arrested former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, Chief Justice Abdulla Saeed, and Supreme Court judge Ali Hameed as an envoy of President Abdulla Yameen.
In a tweet, Muizzu said that he met them at Dhoonidhoo Detention Centre where, as a delegate of the president, he had inquired after their health and where they were being detained. No further details were given about these meetings.
Gayoom and the two top court judges were arrested soon after the state of emergency was declared earlier this month. This was the first time the state had inquired about them after their arrests. Their lawyers have been constantly voicing concerns about how their clients were being treated and the conditions of their prison cells.
Judge Ali Hameed was brought to capital Male and admitted at Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) few days after his arrest. Though he has been discharged and taken back to Dhoonidhoo, his family claims that he is still not well.
Meanwhile, Abdulla Saeed's family has stated that he is diabetic and has to regularly take medications. However, they claimed that he has not been receiving the required medication. They also said that his food and drinks were not regulated, saying that his drinks have too much sugar and that Saeed had been given food in a bucket.
Abdulla Saeed's lawyers and family described his cell unfit for humans and that it resembled a zoo.
Gayoom, Saeed and Hameed are among 13 people arrested in relation to the alleged coup against the government after the SC's ruling on February 1 to reinstate 12 parliamentarians and release nine political leaders.

What is it?
Domestic Abuse Prevention Campaign is an awareness campaign developed to provide information to support prevention, intervention, and services to an Army community willing to address and stop the tolerance of domestic violence.
What has the Army done?
The Army's comprehensive approach to the prevention of domestic abuse ensures all members of the Army community have ample opportunity to prepare for challenges that can occur in intimate relationships. The Army provides varying degrees of resources everyone can use to prevent domestic abuse and develop skills to help restore stability and health if needed. The entire Army community must work together as a team to protect victims and hold offenders accountable when abuse occurs.
Why is it important to the Army?
The Army is fully committed to supporting its Soldiers and Families by overcoming harmful issues affecting health and well-being. Domestic abuse, at any degree of severity, undermines that commitment. As Soldiers and their Families live with multiple stressors, the involvement of the entire Army community is critical.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
Statistics suggests a need for the Army to build social intolerance towards domestic violence and prevent abuse by strengthening programs designed to promote awareness, encourage reporting, provide safety for victims, and ensure treatment and or administrative action for offenders with special emphasis on services for junior Soldiers and their spouse or intimate partner.
Policies and programs in the Army in existence support the prevention of domestic abuse, including support groups for young parents, reintegration programs for families experiencing deployment and redeployment stress, marital and premarital counseling, and programs on anger management, dating violence and gender issues.
Prevention plans are designed for high-risk situations to stop further harm and violence once it has occurred. Family Advocacy Victim Advocates, Unit Victim Advocates, New Parent Support-Home Visitors, the Sexual Assault Prevention program are also all in place to decrease the likelihood that violence will recur, by protecting victims and holding offenders accountable. They also provide extended services to address the negative effects of violence and abuse so that individuals, couples and families can be rehabilitated.
Family Advocacy Program's preventive educational programs are a primary resource for Army Families to learn these life skills. Additionally, the Army's Military Treatment Facility has a cadre of Licensed Clinical Social Workers/Providers available to provide treatment to offenders to prevent repeat offenses.
