Altered forms or hand written forms will not be accepted.
Alhambra, CA (March 28, 2013) – Ritz Tours, the industry's leader in escorted tours to China, has once again defined a new model for quality tours – shopping excursions will no longer be mandatory for guests, and all guests can have the recourse of a full shopping refund if they are unhappy with any purchase.
While some travelers enjoy shopping, others may not. The newly crafted Ritz Tours Shopping Policy clearly states that shopping is optional and purchases are refundable. Guests who do not wish to shop will have the choice to opt-out on shopping excursions. For shopping enthusiasts, plenty of time will be allocated at the end of the sightseeing activities and/or on free days to visit the pre-designated stores that are verified by Ritz Tours for best shopping experience. Guests will also benefit from the return policy and will have confidence that they will get their money back if they are dissatisfied with their purchases.
Max Chew, Vice President of Ritz Tours explained, "We want our clients to have a peace of mind knowing that they will never be coerced into making unnecessary purchases at grossly inflated prices, that they have the option to opt out of shopping stops that we usually arrange at end of the sightseeing day or during free days, and that all guests can choose to rest at their own leisure in the comforts of their hotels instead of shopping." He further emphasized, "We are empowering our clients in this decision making process on the ground, knowing that there have been rampant abuses on the shopping experience in cheap and dubious China tour packages that are getting more and more prevalent in the U.S. marketplace today."
He added, "Ritz Tours has decided on new ways to meet the needs of our every client. We want to stand apart with this new shopping policy in the interest of the consumers in order that they will have nothing but quality time spent in China for themselves."
The Ritz Tours Shopping Policy is not only ground-breaking in its suitability but also in its guarantee that all the guests' needs are fulfilled at the end of the tour. It provides guests a choice to participate in shopping excursions with the convenience of being escorted to quality pre-approved shopping locations, and the assurance that all guests will be pleased with their purchases. There will no longer be any buyer's remorse by following a simple return procedure. In order to process an immediate full refund, guests on Ritz Tours' China program can provide a receipt along with the merchandise to the tour guide before the end of the tour in China; or mail the unused merchandise back to the merchant with the proper receipt and in its original packaging within 14 days upon returning to the United States. The refund process will be completed by the merchant within 2 weeks after receiving the returned merchandise.
For more information about the Ritz Tours Shopping Policy, please call 1-888-345-7489 or visit www.RitzTours.com

Apple's decline has been well-documented. One need only look at a stock chart, which shows that shares of Apple have lost more than a third of their value in nine months. Or one could look at the number of Google searches for "Apple," which peaked with the stock in September 2012 and have since dropped precipitously.
But Max Wolff says that Apple investors should look out for a variety of risk factors that haven't yet materialized. According to Wolff, chief economist and senior analyst at GreenCrest Capital, Apple faces four big risks that no one is talking about.
1. Privacy Concerns Could Disproportionately Hurt Apple
Privacy concerns raised by the NSA phone records revelations could be more troubling to people using Apple products and services than those using those of other companies, Wolff said.
(Read More: Former CIA Worker: I Leaked US Surveillance Data)
"You pay more to be in the Apple ecosystem than in anyone else's ecosystem," Wolff said, "and people might be more upset that they're paying a lot of money and they're still getting spied on."
Wolff likens it to the difference between a free concert and one that a fan pays to attend.
"If I'm going to see a show in Central Park, and it's terrible, then I'm not angry at Central Park," Wolff told CNBC.com. Contrast that to paying $500 for top-notch seats and then getting moved to worse ones.
"Google is the free ecosystem and Facebook is a walled garden, but at least it's free," Wolff said. "If you're paying more to be in the Apple ecosystem, and if you find out that your privacy is no more sacred than it is anywhere else, that actually is problematic."
(Read More: Apple Still Growing and Has Value: Fund Managers)
2. Apple's Tax Issues Could Become a Problem
Wolff points out that Apple has been remarkably good at dodging serious consumer ramifications from a tax policy that some consider evasive.
(Read More: Tim Cook: We Pay 'Every Single Dollar' in Taxes Owed)
"Every progressivey person that is upset that corporations don't pay taxes has an Apple," Wolff said. "And at the end of their email or text message about how horrible it is that companies don't pay their taxes, it says, 'By the way, this message was sent from the biggest tax cheat in American history.'"
Once again, Wolff says that the especially high cost of Apple products puts the company at a heightened risk. He notes that when buying a low-priced clothing item, a consumer should not be too shocked to learn that it was made in sub-par conditions by a young worker. "If you just paid $1,400 for a suit, on the other hand, you expect that it was made by someone who's at least 8."
Wolff said that while "Apple has been very good at being Teflon, and I don't see any reason to think that wouldn't continue, the tax issue is not going away."
(Read More: Don't Blame Tim Cook for Apple's Lack of Oomph)
3. Google's Chrome and Android Integration
Wolff notes that Google is working to integrate its Chrome and Android platforms, and this could end up being a major concern to Apple.
"If Google figures out a way to market a Chrome operating system with an Andoid tie-in, they can sell you a notebook computer which is also a tablet, and has a nice integrated operating system, for $400 or $500," Wolff said. "If they get that then they'll have a single product that is very dangerous for the Macbook Air and the iPad."
Once again, Apple's luxury pricing makes it vulnerable.
"Even if you think Google's product is less good, then $1,500 worth of Apple products nicely duplicates it," Wolff said. "It is $1,200 less good? For a lot of people that's not a question mark, because they don't have $1,200."
Even people who might be able to afford Apple's products, though, might choose Google's cheaper choice anyway. "If a lot of what I'm going to do on these devices is Google Docs and Google Drive and Gmail, and I wouldn't have to get the free frames at Lenscrafters, I could be a dangerous new kind of hipster," Wolff said.
4. The Education Battle
Wolff believes that schools are the next battleground between Apple and Google.
"One of the next big fights is going to be education spending," Wolff said. "If I'm a school system, I can buying an entire classroom [of students] these Google devices, or I can buy two of them the Apple stuff."
In the developing world, Google's Chromebooks are an even more exciting possibility. "If you're a classroom in the developing world, for $3,000, you can have a globally competitive Web system." Or you could get one fantastic Apple computer and a huge LED monitor, "and just stare at it."
The bottom line, for Wolff? "Some of these price differentials might make some difference."

BEIJING — China's top leaders kicked off their annual parliamentary meeting Tuesday with a clear statement of national priorities: Military spending this year will grow by 10.7 percent, even in the face of modest projections for economic growth.
The figures, included in a report delivered by China's outgoing Premier Wen Jiabao, came with standard praise for the past year's work. But his remarks were sprinkled with admissions of problems that he and President Hu Jintao were leaving their successors, including unsustainable development, gaping income inequality, corruption, pollution, vast differences between growth rates in rural and urban areas, and innovation that is stifled by dominant state-owned enterprises.

I recently visited Tannehill on trade day and shopped for around 30 minutes, and barely visited even a third of the booths. I looked at the food offerings at a concession stand (French fries, barbecue and other treats), but, I opted for snacks at the country store — parched peanuts, candy and packaged ice-cream treats. I walked along the creek bank near a waterfall where children were wading. My favorite part of visiting the park, though, was the ironworks furnace area. One can see the original furnaces and several old historical buildings there. Areas are well-marked with signs and memorial plaques that tell the history of Tannehill Ironworks.
The Rundown:
Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park, 12632 Confederate Parkway, McCalla
Park hours: Sunrise to sunset, seven days a week, 365 days a year
Visitor center hours: 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturdays
Cost: Main park, adults (12 and older), $3; senior citizens, $2; children 6-11, $1; under 5, free. The museum, train rides (round-trip) and fishing are $2 each.

New Kid's View
Family lured Jerrianne and her husband to South Milwaukee in 2002 from Southern California where she worked as, first, a journalist, then, as a court information officer. She now stays busy with media-relations consulting, playing with her three grandchildren (part of the lure), writing, discovering her new environs, and hoping her garden will produce before the first fall frost.
Garlic Mustard Pickers Celebrate St. Paddy's Day
Here's news from South Milwaukee's favorite Celtic band, the Garlic Mustard Pickers:

2013 "Pullin' O' The Green, Oh My!
Garlic Mustard Pickers help make for a fun evening at Grant Park Clubhouse. More below photo.
While lots of people partake of what has become a fantastic annual event -- two seatings, full house for each -- it's possible not all know who does the coordinating and work and what the purpose of it is -- except to have a great time, eat great food and listen to great food. I asked one of the organizers, Betsy Abert, for a list of those who should be thanked. She did such a great job letting me know who they are, what they did and the work that will be done with the funs that were raised, here is her reply in her own words. Thank you, Betsy!
Save Treblemakers Show Date!
I've seen this women's a capella choral group perform. They are great! And to think, this show is free! And convenient.
Poem-Savvy 1st & 2nd Graders
It's pretty awesome in my book when some sharp and obviously well-versed 1st and 2nd graders can call out the state poet laureate -- and me -- on a faulty attribution.
When I heard the rebroadcast on December 24 of Kathleen Dunn's April 5, 2012, program on WPR celebrating National Poetry Month I couldn't wait to tell Mrs. Janet Horrigan's students at E.W. Luther Elementary School where I help out on occasion. The reason is the poet, Bruce Dethlefsen, read and exclaimed over a poem he said was written by a Sun Prairie 2nd grader.

German lawmakers are preparing for a Greek eurozone exit - Handelsblatt via Zero Hedge | But...but...they said it would never happen!
New documents shine a light on euro birth defects - Der Spiegel | Imagine that: a pol instituting austerity measures as window dressing.
Borrowers face big delays in refinancing mortgages - Wall Street Journal | Still, the refinancing burst has been lackluster by historical standards due to the fact that fewer people are employed and due to the fact that lending institutions have become stricter in their lending standards.
The grim future of the Supreme Court - Mother Jones | The power of the Senate is laid bare, and people aren't liking what they're seeing.
Here they come: Greek left attacks "barbarous" austerity - Financial Times | The thing is, Left or Right, austerity will never, ever be truly implemented because no pol wants to see his country's buildings burned in protest.
If you want to understand the full complicity of Wall Street in the Great Recession, read these emails - Bloomberg | "The Bros always wins!!" [sic]
Still think gold is in a bubble? More people own Apple stock than gold. - GoldCore | "Apple, frankincense, and myrrh?" No. "Coin of the realm, frankincense, and myrrh?" No.

Sinn Fein joins Ireland's austerity backlash - Financial Times | Guess how regional wars start? As civil wars.
Death to austerity - Truthdig | Nothing like "growth" to become more important than cutting government spending. But spending will never and can never be cut, at this point.

Wednesday, September 23, 2009
Formerly a stalwart on the Valparaiso men's soccer team back line, Andrew Stewart has signed a deal to continue playing soccer on the professional level, inking a contract in Scotland with reigning Scottish Junior Football North Premier League champions Banks o' Dee F.C.
Stewart stepped right into a spot on the Crusader defense when he arrived on campus as a freshman, playing in 71 of Valpo's 72 matches over his four-year career on the back line and making 68 starts. Over the course of his career, he was part of three of the five stingiest defensive teams in program history in terms of goals allowed. He also won the USASA U-23 National Championship with ELA Elite in between his junior and senior seasons.
Banks o' Dee captured the North Superleague title for the 2008-2009 season, its second straight year earning the league crown. Banks o' Dee, which sits at 4-0-2 in the current Superleague season, also advanced to the final of the Aberdeenshire Shield in 2008-2009, its first-ever appearance in a Highland football league final.
Stewart had ties to Scotland through his father, Donald, who was originally from Glasgow and played for Arbroath F.C. He becomes the second Crusader from last season's senior class to sign to play professionally, following Oscar Lomeli, and is the 23rd player that head coach Mike Avery has coached that has gone on to play professional soccer.

The annual three-day competition in Washington, D.C., consists of preliminary, semifinal and championship sections where the 281 contestants ranging in ages 8 to 14 receive combined scores from computer-generated vocabulary and on-stage spelling tests. This year is the first time in the bee's history that vocabulary tests contributed to the contestant's overall scores.
Giri, an eighth-grader at Donoho Middle School and aspiring neurosurgeon, is no newcomer to spelling competitions. In February, she won the Calhoun County spelling bee for the third consecutive year. She advanced to the state spelling bee in Birmingham in March where her winning word "inaccurate" landed her a spot in the national bee. Birmingham's Adventure Travel sponsored Giri during the national competition.
The championship finals will be held this evening — ESPN will begin coverage starting at 7 p.m. — and will result in one winner taking home a $30,000 cash prize that includes a U.S. savings bond and full reference library from Merriam-Webster and Encyclopedia-Britannica. For live bee updates and competition results, visit spellingbee.com or follow on Twitter at @ScrippsBee.

Twice as many Americans used the Internet as their primary source of news about the 2006 campaign compared with the most recent mid-term election in 2002, according to a survey by the Pew Internet and American Life Project and the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
Some 15% of all American adults say the Internet was the place where they got most of their campaign news during the election, up from 7% in the mid-term election of 2002.
A post-election survey shows that the 2006 race also produced a notable class of online political activists. Some 23% of those who used the internet for political purposes – the people we call campaign Internet users – actually created or forwarded online original political commentary or politically-related videos.
The Pew Health Group's new Web site informs and engages people about issues that affect their health and well-being.

Tampa >
Travel >Howard Johnson Plaza Tampa Hotels
111 West Fortune Street, Tampa, FL | Directions 3360227.953256 -82.463794
Neighborhoods: Northeast, Downtown
An ideal location for events at Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. – The Scene
Performers can often be found on the guest list at this hotel right next door to the very busy Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. The center is the city's premier venue for touring Broadway shows, concerts, guest artists and numerous other regional and local productions. For out-of-towners wanting to catch a show without having to suffer a long ride home afterward, this place is ideal.
The Details
The basic, dependable rooms here feature king-sized or a pair of double beds. For business travelers there are two phones with voice mail and data ports. Standard amenities include cable TV, coffee makers and the like. There is a fitness center on-site. Room service is available. And as for location, proximity to the arts center is just the beginning. Corporate travelers are close to many downtown businesses and the convention center, and it's just a short ride to ice hockey at St. Pete Times Forum. Also nearby is the Latin entertainment and shopping district of Ybor City. The Tampa International Airport is six miles away.
Needs a holiday for makeover – This aging giant is located right down town. Its one saving grace is that it's more affordable for the non-Fortune 500 company business types and budget-minded families since the other hotels downtown are much more up$cale; like the new Marriott, and the Hyatt and Wyndham.
But, this place has gone too long between refurbishings. It is approaching "run-down" but it's not quite there yet. Affordable shouldn't mean sub-standard and this one is. Fabulous location tho', right on river.

West Africa ToursPosted on April 3rd, 2009 No comments
Over the last four years I had the pleasure and also faced the challenge to develop and lead our Adventures Abroad West African series. This is not a trip for the faint-hearted. The going is tough. We link together six different West African countries. And most of them are among the least economically developed nations in Africa. A lot of travel is done overland. In often difficult road conditions across serious bush country. We reach remote destinations where the infrastructure is poor. No fancy restaurant or super lodge at the end of a long day.
But the rewards are many. The natural and cultural diversity is incredible, the sites fantastic. They resonate like drum beats in the night. They bring you right back to the origins of civilization in Africa: the arid Sahel; the acacia-studded savannah region; the living rainforest; the Senegal River; the Niger Inland Delta; the stunning Bandiagara escarpment; Dakar; Bamako; Ancient Djenne; fabled Timbuktu; the Kumasi market; the Abomey palaces.
Great peoples form an interwoven fabric of countless languages and traditions. Wolofs, Bambaras, Dogons, Tuaregs, Lobis, Ashantis, Ewes, Dahomeys. Ancestral beliefs, fertility cults, Voodoo spirituality, Christianity, Islam.
Nomadic cattle herders share the land with sedentary farmers in vast seasonal cycles. People and land form one. Spectacular traditional architecture provide the background to village markets and celebrations where music, mask dances and rituals bring you back to the true values of the African spirit.
I strongly believe that Adventures Abroad offers here in West Africa the most extensive and comprehensive tour ever, unequalled by anyone else in the field in its scope and approach. It is a real odyssey.
We take our people from one end of West Africa to the other providing our travellers, along this dusty West African track, in this modern age of technology, movement and globality, a true human connection and a deep personal experience.

A lot of experimenting went into the La Gloria Cubana Artesanos, and Ernesto Perez-Carrillo finally settled on a Nicaraguan wrapper, Ecuadorian binder and a hearty blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos.
They all come together to become a bold, rich cigar with a full-bodied character. If you've never had the opportunity to smoke a La Gloria Cubana, what better way to start?

I have been smoking La Gloria's for over 20 years and they are one of the most consistent brands in the market today.

In a year that highlighted the conflicts of interest in Wall Street deals, Freeport's $9 billion bid to buy a former subsidiary and a related company took the prize. More than half of the directors of McMoRan (MMR) also sit on the board ofFreeport (FCX, Fortune 500). The chairman of Freeport, Jim Bob Moffett, is also the CEO of McMoRan. So perhaps it's not surprising that Freeport agreed to pay 74% more for McMoRan than what investors were previously saying the company was worth.
Freeport's own board members stand to gain. And that would all be alright if investors thought the deal was a good one. They don't. On the conference call to announce the deal, Blackrock portfolio manager Evy Hambro said, "Congratulations on making one of the worst teleconferences I've ever heard to justify a deal." He didn't think the deal was so hot either.
Management changes, backpedaling, and a new sales contender. Some automakers had a great 2012, and some would like to move on to 2013.

Visit to Mt. Tabor
April 17, 2014
On 15 April, Luang Por Pasanno and a small contingent of monks and lay supporters went to visit our nearby neighbors, the community of monks at the Holy Transfiguration Monastery, also known simply as Mt. Tabor. Photos from the Mt. Tabor visit The group was warmly greeted by the Mt. Tabor Abbot, father Damian, who led us on a tour of the monastery including their beautiful church and outdoor precessional shrine. We were treated to an exposition and all-too-brief overview of the icons and iconography involved in the altar, dome, and walls of the church. Father Damian is a master iconographer and his lyrical explanation of the symbology unders...

Latest Reflection
Abhayagiri is Complete
Ajahn Amaro
I'm experiencing a very worldly delight in non-involvement, non-responsibility. It's very lovely to be visiting and not having to feel responsible for making all the threads come together. But, it's also important, and the thing I like to reflect on a lot, that the complications that are difficult are not the external ones, like the logistical nightmares of the work monk. It's more the logistical nightmares inside, that are the real troublemakers. It's always good to bring that to mind. It's not the external complications that really make the essential difference but the way we pick t...

Reception Hall Construction Updates
Reception Hall Phase 1 Completed -- Phase 2 on Hold
January 4, 2014
In mid July of 2013 we began phase 1 of construction to the new Reception Hall. Ideally, starting construction work in April is preferred; starting in July was a bit risky as we feared early fall rains would cause delays and create a messy work environment. Our contractor assured us he could get the job done, so we proceeded. Little did we know rain was not going to be a problem. All of this work was completed on time, the work was well done and it all came in at, or under, budget. Here is a brief list of all the items we completed in phase 1. structural foundations retaining walls ...

Contributing Fluid Dynamics Videos to the arXiv System
A. Write a brief article (may be just a page or a full paper) in Latex describing the video.
- See sample input file and resulting output
- To facilitate subsequent searching, use the exact phrase "fluid dynamics video" in the abstract.
- Note: Although the arXiv site lists .docx files as a possible format; however, they cannot be used for Gallery submissions because they don't work with ancillary files (see B2 below).
- If you don't have a tex compiler on your computer you can try an online tex compiler
- Create a directory "APSpackage" and place the tex file of your article in it
- Create a subdirectory called "anc" (for ancillary) and place the videos in this folder
- Give the videos short descriptive names with .mpg extension.
- See http://arxiv.org/help/ancillary_files for more details.
- tar or zip the "APSpackage" directory
- If you are not already registered with arXiv, go to http://arxiv.org/register and register.
- Note: Fluid dynamics is a subcategory of physics
- If you are unfamiliar with arXiv, go to http://arxiv.org/help/submit for general instructions on submitting papers.
- Go to http://arxiv.org/submit to submit the paper:
- "Start" page: in "Archive and Subject Class" section select "Physics", "Fluid Dynamics" section.
- "Add Files" page: upload the tar or zip archive of your submission.
NOTE: You will receive a warning from the arXiv submission system that your submission exceeds the automatic size limits. For now, continue with instructions iii through viii because you must "Submit" your article in step vi below before an exception to the size limit can be made by the administrator. Submissions of up to 150MB total will be accepted for Gallery videos.
- Once the zip archive is uploaded, you should see the video file(s) listed under the "Ancillary files" directory.
- "Process" page: will check pdflatex processing.
- "Metadata" page: enter title, authors, abstract, etc. as normal. You may wish to mention in the comments that there are videos included.
- "Preview" page: check that the metadata is correct, check processed PDF, and then click "Submit" to put the article in arXiv's queue. (Note: The submit button will not appear on the Preview page until the PDF has been viewed.)
- You will receive an email from arXiv confirming your submission and containing a temporary submission URL. Do not publish this URL.
- Please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com requesting an exception for the large files uploaded and state that they are fluid dynamics videos. NOTE: you must include your submission id given in the confirmation email you received in both the subject and text as id: submit/######. Also, make sure that the first characters in the body of the email are "Dear arXiv" (this will help your email avoid the arXiv span filter, see http://arxiv.org/help/contact).
When the submission has been processed and announced at arXiv, the video files will be available as links on the right hand side of the abstract page. See for example http://arxiv.org/abs/0911.0033

2nd REG JOINS THE FFL
The Following account is based on an interview with Paul Lo, who escaped the Communist regime in Laos for fear of retribution on his father who had been a military official working with the U.S. supported government in Laos before the Communists took over. Here is his story as adapted for SOF. I chose to present it as a narrative rather than in an interview format in order to give the tale the greatest impact and continuity.
Paul Lo, who escaped Laos after the communists took over, came to our office. I asked him how he had escaped. Lo told his story in his very broken, but good English. (See THE ESCAPE in this issue) Lo is a vivacious, outspoken advocate for Laotian refugees, specifically the Hmong. He has a wonderful sense of humor and a real zest for life in the United States. When the U.S.
Charter Arms is known for their line of self-defense revolvers.
Well, it didn't take much of a sales job or convincing by Steve Langford, longtime hunting buddy of SOF and product development manager for Bushnell. "Brown," he yelled over the phone, "let's go hunt some pigs!"
Tons of conjecture and so called eye witness accounts have been made regarding the SEAL piracy rescue, but nothing from any of the operational commands, as it should be. While the Commander in Chief clearly maintained a low profile during the hostage event, it is easy to assume he was avoiding direct on-scene contact. That may or may not have been the case; I do believe he was briefed constantly by NCA staff, and perhaps communicated with SECDEF throughout.
The traveling, never-ending campaign road show came home this week [10 April]. The president of the United States is back in Washington from his "I like you, you like me" excellent adventure in Europe and "surprise" trip to Baghdad. It was nice of POTUS to thank the troops. He should have bowed to them instead of to King Abdullah.

As Time Goes By by Abigail Trafford
The first few notes of the song begin, and his eyes meet hers from across the room. Shyly, they smile. It's their wedding day, and this is, "Their song." She leaves her guests and approaches her new husband. He takes her hand and they dance.
Like any wedding, there are toasts and dancing children, a tossed bouquet and tearful moments, cutting the cake and tender kisses between bride and groom.
But, starry-eyed love isn't just for teenagers and 20-somethings. This is his second marriage. It's her third, and they're both in their 80s.
In the new book "As Time Goes By," author Abigail Trafford examines love, loss and loving again in the second half of life.
Once upon a time, when the average human lifespan was 50 years, people married young and stayed together "'til death do you part." Now, at a time when we can live four decades past that old milestone, relationships in the second half of life can give us a second chance at love.
But, it's not easy: Trafford calls later love, "The Big Churn." The kids are gone and it's just the two of you again. Everything is old, and it's all new. You want to stay together, but need separate lives. Past roles have flip-flopped. It's like an amusement park ride that both scares and thrills you to death.
Learning to be together anew can be difficult, Trafford says, and old issues can surface with surprising ferocity. Studies show that older couples are more likely than younger couples to "pull the plug" on a marriage that's unfulfilling. At some point, mortality may play a role: One partner suddenly decides that it's not an option to live with the status quo in whatever life they have left.
But that's not necessarily the end of love, Trafford writes. People in their 50s, 60s, and beyond are recreating "normal," with boomerang marriages, throwback romance and serial spouses, triangle marriages, marriage-without-a-spouse, newly renewed unions and fabulously single lives, with many love affairs. Wow!
I read this book with rapt fascination for two reasons: One, because there is an amazing amount of food for thought in this book. Mixing advice and societal study, Trafford includes interviews with real people, hard research and data, and stories that will sound all-too-familiar to anyone who's had a relationship.
Which brings me to the second reason I enjoyed "As Time Goes By" so much: If you are near or past 50, gay or straight, man or woman, your relationship past is in this book. Reading it will put a lot of things into perspective — not just for you, but for your friends and children. Surprisingly, because it's a cautionary look ahead, it's a good book for 30-somethings, too.
If you've ever been in love, if you are struck by the fact that the number of years you have left are fewer than the number of years you've lived, or if you're looking anew at an old relationship, you need this book. "As Time Goes By" is simply engaging.
Pop-Up House of Inventions by Robert Crowther
Hey, kids, have you ever built a pretend fort? How about a tent in the living room, made from blankets and sofa cushions? Are you lucky enough to have a kid-sized play house, or maybe a tree house? Or, are you happy with a doll house that you can decorate?
Someday, you'll have a real house of your own. You'll fill it with cool things that you like and need. And, if you read "Pop-Up House of Inventions" by Robert Crowther, you'll learn where all that cool stuff came from, who thought it up, when it became available, and other fun-to-know facts about what's in your house.
Many times, when you enter someone's home, you come through the kitchen first. It's no different in this book. Starting in the kitchen, open the fridge to learn that ice cream was first made in China around 5,000 years ago. You'll read that chewing gum won't stick to nonstick pans (go ahead and try!) You can even make the clothes spin in the washer and eggs flip in the pan.
Go relax with dad in the living room, where you can pull a DVD out of the player and learn that DVD players were invented just 13 years ago. Peek behind the painting, open the safe and learn about money. And, just like a real house, there's even a bunch of stuff (and trivia) beneath the sofa.
Every house has a bathroom, so let's go there next. Lift up the toilet lid and find out what people in the Middle Ages did with their waste. Look beneath the undies for some under-the-flap facts. Move the shower curtain aside and peek in the bathtub. Oops. 'Scuse me.
Bedrooms first appeared in royal palaces, so that's where we'll head next. Move the toy train in a circle for some true trivia, peek inside the closet and pull up the shade. Oh, and don't forget to check out the pop-up book within this pop-up book.
Before we go, let's look in the garage. Peer inside the tool box and the nail box. Open the door to see what it's like outside (and get more trivia). And — if you dare — take one last look down the drain. Eeeeuuuuwwww.
Okay. I'll admit it. I sat and tinkered with this book for awhile before I was ready to write about it. I'm well past the target age for "Pop-Up House of Inventions," but it was so much fun to play with that I couldn't resist.
Author and illustrator Robert Crowther hides dozens of facts in unlikely places inside this paper house. Each page is packed with doors to open, cabinets to peek inside, tabs to slide and flaps to flip. Each peek, slide and flip rewards kids with fun-to-know trivia. For those who aren't up to a challenge, there are factoids in plain sight, too.
Although pop-up books are usually meant for smaller children, this one is more for 8-to-12-year-olds, with curious minds. For them, "Pop-Up House of Inventions" is a book they'll want to take home.
