AEG Electric Tools GmbH Creates Cool Power Tools Faster with FloEFD Flow Simulation
July 2008
AEG Electric Tools GmbH, one of the market-leading manufacturers of heavy-duty portable electric power tools for professionals, uses Flomerics FloEFD fluid flow and heat transfer simulation software for optimizing airflow and cooling effects in their power tools. "On a recent project we used FloEFD and we were able to get the engine running 20% cooler, and also we obtained this improvement much faster than before," said Markus Wörner, design engineer at AEG. "Because power tools are getting more compact, we investigate airflow and cooling issues to better understand the effectiveness of the method used. We used to rely on our prior experience or on the results from physical prototype testing. But now we use FloEFD to complement information we have gained from experience; therefore, we have a much better idea of how our products will perform well in advance of the physical testing stage."
Recognized as a member of the "Top 100 Most Innovative Companies in Germany's SME Sector," AEG's product portfolio includes more than 100 different types of tools for the professional market including hammers, percussion and diamond drills, angle as well as straight grinders and jig- and circular saws. AEG products are meticulously tested before market introduction to ensure high quality and reliability. To test new design concepts created with PTC's Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2, the design team uses FloEFD for thermal and airflow conditions. "We chose FloEFD because it was easy to use. For example, with FloEFD we do not need to define the fluid area – the software does this automatically." Most traditional fluid flow simulation programs require users to create "phantom" solid parts to represent the (empty) fluid regions – an extremely time consuming process since users need to identify each region manually and then create geometry to fill it. FloEFD saves users time and effort by automatically differentiating between solid and fluid regions for internal and external flows to create the fluid domain. Testing prototypes with FloEFD enables the AEG design team to fine-tune new design concepts by using information that they have amassed over the years as the basic building block for their new design work. "By using FloEFD we are able to further fine-tune our designs to reach an optimized design much faster. On a recent project, we realized that we had already reached our goal for improved airflow with the very first prototype," added Peter Henske, CAD Manager.
Aside from dealing with engineering design issues, the AEG design team also faces a very unique challenge: power tools designed at the South German facilities are engineered for two different brands -- AEG Power Tools and Milwaukee Electric Tools. The tools are based on a common platform which makes it possible to modify the machine components for the different needs of users. The modular design gives the chance to realize two different exterior designs. "Different exterior design and internal components result in completely different airflow in the machine. Testing each configuration would take a lot of time. But with simulation we can identify the effects caused by all the different design options and ensure proper performance for all machines based on the platform," said Henske.

Can I mix a GLM-200 with a pickup? |
I've got my acoustic guitar already equipped with an undersaddle piezo transducer but I'm looking for a more natural, woody sound. Hearing about your Crown GLM-200 microphone
, it seems to me that using the two sources and mixing them in a console would give better results.
Yves Geleff, French songwriter and country singer. Reply: Yes, the sound will be more natural if you mix in a microphone. Here are two suggested GLM miking methods: 1. Using the supplied clip, mount a GLM-200 hypercardioid mic about 2 inches from where the fingerboard meets the guitar body. 2. Clip or tape a GLM-100 omni mic outside the guitar at the edge of the soundhole. You will need two separate cables from your guitar: (1) one from the pickup to a direct box and from there to a mixer mic input , and (2) one from the GLM into a mixer mic input. Adjust EQ as needed. |

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a problem of not being able to focus, being overactive, not being able control behavior, or a combination of these. For these problems to be diagnosed as ADHD, they must be out of the normal range for a person's age and development.
ADD; ADHD; Childhood hyperkinesis
ADHD usually begins in childhood, but may continue into the adult years. It is the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorder in children. ADHD is diagnosed much more often in boys than in girls.
It is not clear what causes ADHD. A combination of genes and environmental factors likely plays a role in the development of the condition. Imaging studies suggest that the brains of children with ADHD are different from those of children without ADHD.
Symptoms of ADHD fall into three groups:
Some people with ADHD have mainly inattentive symptoms. Some have mainly hyperactive and impulsive symptoms. Others have a combination of different symptom types. Those with mostly inattentive symptoms are sometimes said to have attention deficit disorder (ADD). They tend to be less disruptive and are more likely not to be diagnosed with ADHD.
Inattentive Symptoms
Hyperactivity Symptoms
Impulsivity Symptoms
If ADHD is suspected, the person should be evaluated by a health care professional. There is no test that can make or exclude a diagnosis of ADHD. The diagnosis is based on a pattern of the symptoms listed above. When the person with suspected ADHD is a child, parents and teachers are usually involved during the evaluation process.
Most children with ADHD have at least one other developmental or mental health problem. This problem may be a mood, anxiety or substance use disorder; a learning disability; or a tic disorder. A doctor can help determine whether these other conditions are present.
Treating ADHD is a partnership between the health care provider and the patient. If the patient is a child, parents and often teachers are involved. For treatment to work, it is important to:
If treatment does not seem to work, the health care provider will likely:
Medicine combined with behavioral treatment often works best. There are several different ADHD medicines that may be used alone or in combination. The health care provider will decide which medicine is right based on the person's symptoms and needs.
Psychostimulants (also known as stimulants) are the most commonly used ADHD medicines. Although these drugs are called stimulants, they actually have a calming effect in people with ADHD.
Follow the health care provider's instructions on how to take ADHD medicine.
Some ADHD medicines have side effects. If the person has side effects, contact the health care provider right away. The dosage or medicine itself may need to be changed.
Therapy for both the patient and if relevant, the family, can help everyone understand and gain control of the stressful feelings related to ADHD.
A common type of ADHD therapy is called behavioral therapy. It teaches children and parents healthy behaviors and how to manage disruptive behaviors. For mild cases of ADHD, behavioral therapy alone (without medicine) can sometimes be effective.
Support groups can help the person and family connect with others who have similar problems.
Other tips to help a child with ADHD include:
There is little proof that alternative treatments for ADHD such as herbs, supplements, and chiropractic are helpful.
ADHD is a long-term, chronic condition. If it is not treated correctly, ADHD may lead to:
One third to one half of children with ADHD continue to have symptoms of inattention or hyperactivity-impulsivity as adults. Adults with ADHD are often able to control behavior and mask difficulties.
Call the doctor if you or your child's school staff suspect ADHD. You should also tell the doctor about:

We have been hearing about the demise of the big man in basketball for quite some time, and while it may be true that guys like Shaquille O'Neal and Moses Malone are past and gone, there are still some very good tall men in the NBA. And they're playing center. Yes, the league might have eliminated the position from the All-Star ballot, but never mind that—centers are alive and well, and they're ranked right here:Start Slideshow
Numbers: 17.1 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.4 blocks.Next
Howard is coming off an obviously down year, but despite that, he remains the best of the big guys. Leaving Orlando to play in a Lakers offense that was not tailored for him, Howard struggled, taking just 10.7 field-goal attempts per game and tallying his lowest scoring output in six years. He also had another awful year at the line, making just 49.2 percent of his free throws.
But he still is a game-changing defender and again led the league in rebounding. Getting out of LA and into friendlier surroundings in Houston, expect Howard to get back to form. -
Numbers: 17.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.1 blocks.Next
With Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams gone, more of the Hawks' scoring load fell to Horford, and he did not disappoint, seeing his field-goal attempts jump to 14.3 per game, up from 9.9 for the first five years of his career.
He still managed to shoot 54.3 percent, and would have bumped up his scoring had he not shot 64.4 percent from the free-throw line. He is extremely efficient from all ranges, highlighted by his 75.3 percent shooting at the rim. Now that the Hawks have lost Josh Smith, Horford could crack the 20-points-per-game mark. -
Numbers: 14.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.7 blocks.Next
Gasol won the Defensive Player of the Year award, and he deserved it. He is a shut-down post defender, a good help defender and does a capable job covering pick-and-rolls.
He makes a high percentage of his shots from all spots on the floor, and shoots 48.5 percent on midrange jumpers from 16 feet and out. He also raised his free-throw shooting from 74.8 percent two years ago to 84.8 percent last year. He is, perhaps, the best passing center in the NBA, averaging 4.0 assists. As power forward Zach Randolph ages, Gasol will become more prominent for the Grizzlies. -
Numbers: 19.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.1 blocks.Next
There are a couple of bits of conventional wisdom when it comes to Lopez's game. The first is that he is not much of a rebounder, and that is true—his rebounding percentage of 13.4 pales when compared to, say, Dwight Howard, whose registers at 19.1. The other is that he is a weak defender, which might have been fair early in his career, but Lopez greatly improved in that area last year and figures to get better when teamed with Kevin Garnett this season.
Whatever his weaknesses, Lopez is a gifted scorer with a nice hook shot in the lane and a deceiving set of post moves. -
Numbers: 11.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.6 blocks.Next
An injury to his right wrist explains Hibbert's bum shooting numbers last year—he shot 44.8 percent from the field, a career low, because he shot just 41.4 percent in the first half of the season, when the wrist was at its worst.
Hibbert bounced back to shoot 50.8 percent in the second half, thanks in large part to his very effective hook shot. His playoff numbers (17.0 points, 9.9 rebounds) are a better indication of how his output should look this year. -
Numbers: 16.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.4 blocks.Next
Bosh returned to the center spot after two years playing his more natural power forward role with the Heat, and he did not suffer much because of it.
Just about everyone on the Heat roster saw their numbers dip, of course, because of what LeBron James did, and Bosh was no exception. But he was the most efficient he has been in his career, making 53.5 percent of his shots and committing just 1.7 turnovers per game. Bosh has mastered the jumper from 16 feet and beyond, shooting 49.4 percent from that range, and is trying to extend that to the 3-point line. He shot only 28.4 percent from the arc in the regular season, but bumped that up to 40.5 percent in the playoffs. -
Numbers: 11.9 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.1 blocks.Next
It would be nice to have a completely healthy season of Noah, especially now that he is in his prime. He missed 16 games last year with a variety of injuries, and played through pain much of the year. But that seems to be true every year.
With Derrick Rose out, Noah took on greater offensive responsibility, with generally good results. His shooting percentage dropped to 48.1 percent, a career low, but he averaged a career-high 9.5 field-goal attempts and 4.0 assists. Noah has an obviously funky jump shot which limits his offensive production, and he has not mastered the hook shot. But he is a credible offensive option and a top-tier defensive center. -
Numbers: 10.4 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.1 blocks.Next
Chandler is a year removed from his Defensive Player of the Year award, and though he did slip a bit on the defensive end, that is due as much to his team as to his own performance.
Chandler remains ridiculously efficient on offense, mostly because he rarely shoots anything beyond the range of the rim, where he took 398 of his 452 shots (including playoffs).
He is the ideal defense-first big man who knows his limitations offensively, and though he turns 31 next week, he can probably hang around the NBA for another decade. -
Numbers: 16.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, 0.8 blocks.Next
Pekovic is the one last gift that Kevin McHale left the Timberwolves, taking him as a second-rounder in 2008. He has paid off handsomely, coming into his own in the past two seasons and posting breakout numbers last season.
He is fundamentally sound and his offense is built on his ability to bounce around the paint like a pinball. He's done well to improve on the two weakest aspects of his game, turnovers and defense. He now turns the ball over just 1.6 times per game and has become much tougher on the defensive end.
Health has been a constant issue for Pekovic, and the Wolves have to hope he continues to grow after signing a big contract this summer. -
Numbers: 17.1 points, 9.9 rebounds, 0.9 blocks.Next
After three very unpredictable years and a variety of team transgressions, it is time for Cousins to cash in on the potential he has shown. He has, in fact, cashed in, with a four-year, $62 million contract extension.
We know he can score in the paint, he is a good passer and has the capability to develop into a good jump shooter and defender. But we don't know if he can go an entire season without cheesing off teammates and coaches. If he can get his act together under new coach Mike Malone, Cousins could be All-Star bound. The Kings have obviously taken the chance and believe that he will do so. -
Numbers: 9.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.8 blocks.Next
The obvious drawback for Sanders is that he can't do much on offense. You could say the same about Tyson Chandler, but at this point, Sanders contributes even less.
Having said that, Sanders is among the best defensive players in the game, and has the potential to win multiple Defensive Player of the Year awards. He blocks shots, but he also does as much as anyone outside of Howard to change shots, and intimidate in the paint.
The Bucks should be a better defensive team, and Sanders will be the anchor. He will need to offer more offensively to move up on this list, but his value is undeniable. -
Numbers: 17.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.1 blocks.Next
Defense has long been the knock on Jefferson, and now that he is 28, it is probably time for coaches to give up thinking they're going to transform him into Dikembe Mutombo. When you take Jefferson for what he is — a remarkably consistent and skilled big man whose interior footwork ranks among the best in the NBA — you can more easily swallow his shortcomings.
Jefferson isn't a power player, but he can kill defenders with his accurate jumper and his hook shot. Accept those blessings, stop worrying about the shoddy defense, and you'll see the benefits Jefferson offers. -
Numbers: 7.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.6 blocks.Next
There is only one guy who could make DeAndre Jordan look like Mark Price at the free-throw line, and that's Drummond. Drummond shot 37.1 percent on foul shots compared to 38.6 for Jordan, which is emblematic of where both players are in their development and why they're (spoiler alert) back-to-back on this list.
Give Drummond the edge, though, because he shows the ability to be a beast on the inside, a more confident scorer with higher potential. In all, 81.6 percent of Drummond's shot attempts come at the rim and that is probably not going to change in the near future. But with his combination of size, athleticism and power, his future is bright. -
Numbers: 8.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.4 blocks.Next
Give Jordan some credit—he does not like to stray from the rim, but he is at least giving it a crack lately, attempting to develop a hook shot last year. He only took 60 of them, but he made 56.7 percent, giving rise to some optimism about the shot.
The thing Jordan probably needs most is a shot of renewed confidence, because that had been sapped after two years of butting heads with coach Vinny Del Negro. New coach Doc Rivers will make boosting Jordan a priority. -
Numbers: 13.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.0 blocks.
True, much of the eye-catching production Vucevic showed last season was a function of playing for the gawdawful Magic. Still, you had to like the skill that Vucevic showed, especially as a shooter — he shot better than 42 percent from all areas of the court except the 3-point line, and though he is slow of foot, he is not a train wreck on the defensive end. Vucevic is not going to be an All-Star, but he has the makings of a solid NBA starting center.

I really love the way that this one shows off the cute prints.
I am writing a pattern for this one. When all the craziness around here dies down a little. Because, let's face it, the craziness never completely goes away.
It IS very happy. And how marvelous to know that so many ladies (and a few fellas) will be oohing and aahing over it in the Riley Blake booth. I love the orange pops of color - I would never consider myself an orange person, but I just love orange on quilts! I need to add orange to my stash. Congrats on another gorgeous finish!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with this quilt! One day when my skills improve, I will definitely attempt it.
I think my favorite part is the way the stripes go in different directions. Beautiful.
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam.

You are hereTwo Anti-Evolution Bills Die in Legislative CommitteeOn January 21, 2002 HB 888 and HB 1101 were introduced in the Mississippi House of Representatives and referred to the Education Committee. Both bills had the same sponsor, and both died in committee on February 5.
Georgia Bill Fails to Progress
The wording of HB 1563 resembles the "Santorum amendment" to last year's federal education bill, which was removed in conference committee. The phrasing matches the common rhetoric of such evolution opponents as intelligent design creationists. The relevant portion HB 1563 reads: Colorado School District Rejects Creationism Effort
On March 12 the board had voted unanimously to include creationism. Local residents contacted NCSE requesting information about "creation science" and the legal consequences of the board's proposal. CRSC Correction
NCSE is pleased to see that the Center for Renewal of Science and Culture (CRSC) has begun taking steps to correct the error in the article posted on its web site concerning the March 11, 2002 Ohio Board of Education meeting. Fred Hutchison claims that the papers in the CRSC bibliography delivered to the Ohio BOE were written by "intelligent design scientists." This is incorrect. The CRSC has posted an editor's comment above the article highlighting the error, but did not correct the error in the text of the article itself. CRSC Claims Papers in Bibliography are by Intelligent Design Scientists
At the Ohio Board of Education meeting held March 11th, 2002, Center for
Renewal of Science and Culture (CRSC) Director Stephen Meyer and
CRSC Senior Fellow Jonathan Wells presented the board with a bibliography
of forty four papers published in peer reviewed scientific literature.

Abnormal tooth color is any color other than white to yellowish-white.
Discolored teeth; Tooth discoloration; Tooth pigmentation
Many things can cause tooth discoloration. The change in color may affect the entire tooth, or appear as spots or lines in the tooth enamel.
Your genes affect your tooth color. Other things that can affect tooth color include:
Inherited diseases may affect the thickness of enamel or the calcium or protein content of the enamel. This can cause color changes. Metabolic diseases may cause changes in tooth color and shape.
Drugs and medicines either taken by the mother during pregnancy or by the child during the time of tooth development can cause changes in the color and hardness of the enamel.
Good oral hygiene will help if the teeth are stained from a food or fluid, or discolored due to poor cleaning.
Talk to your dentist about abnormal tooth color. However, if the color seems to be related to a medical condition, you should talk to your regular health care provider as well.
Call your health care provider if:
The dentist will examine the teeth and ask questions about the symptoms. Questions may involve:
Superficial and diet-related discoloration may be eliminated with proper hygienic treatment or teeth-whitening systems. More profound discoloration may need to be removed using fillings, veneers or crowns.
Testing may not be necessary in many cases. However, if the health care provider suspects the coloration may be related to a medical condition, testing may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Dental x-rays may be taken.

Planning for Sustainable Urban Revival
With guidance from Buffalo ReUse and Build it Green! NYC.
Problem: Cities in the American Rust Belt (Buffalo, NY as a case study) have lost their vitality as a result of urban flight, suburban sprawl and the changing industrial climate of the United States. This has lead to the vacancy of homes and factories, and the deterioration of surrounding rural communities.
Solution: headwest is a system that transforms architectural waste to create new sustainable building materials. Using abundant salvaged materials (brick, lumber and glass), a family of three architectural tiles has been designed to represent the triumphs of the past and a hope for the future
Benefits: All materials are salvaged, manufactured and sold regionally using local labor, local resources, factories and infrastructure. The overarching intent of the project is to create sustainable, site-specific, vital industry to aid in a revival of economy and spirit.
Next Steps: headwest is a system with the potential for infinite development. Grants, government involvement as well as prototype expansion will bring the project closer to fruition.

Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 10 of 56 reviews
"Go bigger"
Medium body with excellent balance, but I don t think the short size does the filler justice. The wrapper had some construction issues, showing glue residue and peeling off in the beginning, but the burn wasn t affected. The nicotine seemed to pick up a bit towards the end, and the nub burnt hot.
Stefan in December 9, 2013
"A short story indeed"
a nice little smoke if you dont want to commit the time to a larger one. Halfway through i was enjoying it so much that i wished there was more of it. too pricey to be an every day smoke, but I will buy again.
Ryan in jacksonville, FL December 3, 2013
This is the my favorite cigar...burns nicely, great draw, awesome taste!
David in Newbury Park CA November 8, 2013
"Found another favorite!"
I have always liked the Perfecto shape in cigars, I used to smoke Zino Chubbies every now and then, but fired up my first Short Story a week ago. Love at first puff! The little gems are great for a quick smoke, not overpowering, and quite flavorful. I just ordered a box to stash in my humidor.
Christopher in Midwest USA March 7, 2013
"A Great Short Smoke"
I thoroughly enjoy these little perfecto's. The taste, consistence and burn are just great. The drawback is the price, but isn't that always the case? I'd love to have one of these everyday, but am constrained to rationing them to once a week or so. Still, a very pleasant smoke for a 30 minute break.
Christopher in Midwest USA March 1, 2013
"great daily smoke"

in January 21, 2013
"Very good"
It's great for what it is, but they are not quite my taste. I actually like the sungrown chateau series better, but these are definitely worth a try.
Eric in Rhinelander, Wisc July 1, 2012
Only the Fuentes can make cigars that leave a taste of fine scotch whisky on the palate...The Opus X wrapper has its little brother here in the Hemingways, which I smoke as far down as they'll go without burning my fingers, and then use a toothpick for the final half-inch. I suppose I should buy a pipe instead, as I'm still missing that last quarter-inch!
Barak-Har in Jerusalem, Israel May 31, 2012
"An Instant Favorite"
I had this for the first time two days ago. I didn't time myself, but it definitely didn't last 45 min. It wasn't more than 30, I don't think.
That said, this is one of the best cigars I have ever smoked. It was unbelievably smooth, with an unmatched rich taste, as far as my experience goes. I will be smoking this a lot more in the future. Just a fantastic, tight roll with great consistency. Great, flavorful tobacco. 100/100 on all counts.
Drew in Evansville, IN May 1, 2012
"Very Tasty Treat"
Slightly overrated, but never a disappointment.

"Extraordinary book! Masterpiece."
A wonderful book; meticulously researched, yet compulsively readable.
Brings you from Victorian England to the jungles of the Africa in search of Europe's first glimpse at the gorilla. An absolutely true story of an adventure that demonstrates the biting world of science in the Victorian era. Sound boring? Not even a little: included in this adventure are Queen Victoria, Charles Darwin, Charles Dickens, the wild uncharted land of the Africa, wildlife never seen before, many native African tribes and even a large group of "cannibals".
I loved this story, and it inspired me to read Darwin's work again and other writings of the time. It seems that being a great scientist in Victorian times could make you as famous as being a Hollywood actor during the golden age of film. Unfortunately it was just as cut throat and competitive and FULL OF CONTROVERSY.
The story of the young French Explorer, Paul Du Chaillou and all he accomplished is truly extraordinary.
If you believe in creationism vs evolution, this might not be the book for you. Though it does deal with the struggle for many that age, including prominent scientists, to find god in the many archeological and biological findings of the time that completely contradicts the biblical belief of creation.
"Skip this! Get Catton's Stillness at Appomattox"
Thankfully I have read enough Civil War history to recognize the absurdly myopic and misleading nature of this story. This is a superficial, skewed version of history, with cherry-picked facts thrown in to show that Grant carelessly whittled on a piece of wood, while he caused the unnecessary death of tens of thousands of his soldiers.
If one didn't know the South lost the war, it would be quite a shock to listen to the 5 minutes of the epilogue and learn that the North won! As a southerner, I respect Lee as much as anyone, but I also respect the complex difficulties and triumphs of US Grant. I suppose this book might be appreciated by those with rebel flag bumper stickers that say "the South will rise again". Regardless of sentiment, this history is incredibly misleading and superficial!
I implore anyone reading this review to skip this book, and instead download Audible version of Bruce Catton's "Stillness At Appomattox"!!
It is an exceptional work that covers this same topic, but with the realities and complexities that actually took place in the last year of the Civil War. There's blame and praise to go around, but is there any true glory in the Civil War? Not when Americans fight Americans, brothers against brothers, etc. Catton's other civil war books are incredible as well. He shows the best and worst of both sides! The abolition of slavery is the one overriding glory of the war. The rest of it is sad and painful. War is bloody and tragic. And Grant was not the "butcher" this book made him out to be. Lee was a superior general, and to win the war, the Union did lose an unacceptable number of troops. But the lives of men on both sides were the sacrifice that the forefathers set into motion when they ignored the fact that the idea "all men are created equal" was not compatible with the institution on slavery. However, in the eyes of the actual soldiers and generals of the north, Union troops sacrificed their lives to keep America united! I'm grateful for that sacrifice!
This book ignores the real history, and just blames Grant for Union slaughter. Then it wraps up by telling us that he, in fact, won the war. The whole thing is a mess. Bizarre and illogical. Simple and skewed. This is not a work of history worthy of any praise!
"Surprisingly accessible and full of personality!"
I have been very interested in the Geneva LHC project. I watched a recent documentary by Jason Greenburg (I think that's his name. He's a big "super symmetry" advocator.) Unfortunately, the documentary was not focused and left me without a clue! So I've been searching books to better understand the goal and outcomes of what is possibly the biggest experiment human beings have ever conducted. I'm not from a science background, but I try to stay familiar with current science news and ideas.
In Smashing Physics, Jon Butterworth provides an excellent overview of the issues and science behind the LHC, and the search for the Higg's Boson. This guy is uncommonly talented at making complex ideas accessible to an interested lay audience!!
I was engaged and entertained throughout the book by the author and the narrator.
This is the best of the new books explaining the work done in Geneva. (At least the ones available on audio.)
Highly recommended! Narrator does an amazing job of bringing the work to life, and yet sounds like he is a serious physics guy. The accent maybe?
I will definitely look for more books by the author in the future!
"Prof Armstrong at her best!!!"
Oh what a great lecture series! It was more than I expected. I was left wishing these lectures were longer and wishing for more info on many of the great minds. That's why this is such a great course: I am now more interested in further study about many of these great minds! For a survey of intellectuals of medieval world, this is an excellent listen. I've listened to Prof Armstrong before, and can say that she has her sea legs now! She has more confidence than before and is a very exciting presenter in these lectures. She does a great job with very complex ideas and the time constraints! She presents each person on the list in such a way that even those individuals with whom I was very familiar seem new and so very interesting!!
I highly recommend this lecture series!
Hope for more lectures from this prof.
"An amazing series!!! Excellent performance!"
I have am listening to Susan Wise Bauer's histories for the second time right now. I'm currently entranced with her Ancient World history. I forgot how interesting her writing is! She tells a story with each piece of history. It's like a good fiction book, and that is so rare in history.
I felt the need to write a review to address the one-star reviews. It is an outrageously unfair rating. I don't believe the one-star review is an accurate reflection on the author or the narrator; instead, I think it's a reflection of the listener's interest in the actual subject. I have listened to a few histories of the medieval world. It is a VERY complex time period! Will Durant's Age of Religion (which covers this time period) was so vast and overwhelming that I had to listen to it a few times, and I still don't have a full grasp of the material. That is the nature of this time period. It's not all knights, crusades and chivalry. It's a messy and complicated world. If you aren't interested in making that commitment, then this book, as well as any history book of this period written for adults, will be overwhelming!!
I want to stress that this author does an excellent job making this very difficult and complicated material interesting and accessible. Plus the performance by John Lee is just amazing. He adds the polish to this great work!
Finally I suggest that listeners start with Bauer's first book, history of the ancient world, also performed by John Lee. It is really special!
"One of my top 2 favorites of the Great Courses!"
I have listened to this audiobook 2x recently. It is so interesting!!! I wish there were more books about archeological discoveries. I initially worried from Prof Hale's description in the first lecture that it would be too technical, but it turned out to be exactly what I hoped and much more!!! Prof Hale is an exceptional lecturer! He goes through the great archeological digs relating to Roman and Greek culture, including a bit about Alexander the Great and the Macedonians. Hale doesn't go through the extremely technical part of archeology, instead he focuses on the exciting finds of history; for example, the excavation of Herculaneum and Pompeii is beyond fascinating!!
I know I'm not doing this series justice, but I hope my enthusiasm will convince readers that it's worth their time and credits!! I have bought all of Prof Hale's Great Courses that involve history. He also does a lecture series that involves early ancient religions and the archeological digs that give us information when there is no writing to help us understand. It is very interesting too.
This series along with prof Bob Brier's Ancient Egypt are two of my favorite Great Courses. Prof Brier discusses the archeological discoveries in Egypt. So if you like this audiobook, I highly recommend that series as well.
I hope to see more books and lectures about archeological discoveries. It's such a fascinating part of uncovering history!
"So much fun!!! Best of the best!"
Well I've listened to Prof McWhorter before, but never like this!!! These are his FINEST MOMENTS!!! He is so much fun in these lectures that it's like a different man from the last series I listened with him. (I still liked him then, he was just very serious. It was a serious topic.)
I'm not sure when this lecture series falls in his many Great Courses lectures on language, but it reminds me of the last week of school-- like this must be a later lecture for him bc he is so confident and funny. It's so much fun, and EVERYTHING is interesting!!!!
The best of the best!!
Content- it's about the English language and how it was formed but not too technical and very different from any English language book or course to which I've listened. It's the nuances I've never thought about. And it's very interesting. It's more than worth a listen for anyone remotely interested in words, English, or language in general. And if you like the prof, you will LOVE this. If you've listened to him and not liked him--- PLEASE GET THIS, you will find a whole new level to McWhorter and you'll love it!
"Phenomenal listen!!! A superior audiobook!"
I have enjoyed most of the Great Courses I've bought. This lecture is one of the best, with a great depth of information and excellent analysis and synthesis of ancient societies of Greece and Rome. It has been my experience to read and study Greek and Roman civilizations quite separately, making it seem that they are many centuries apart. But in truth, the "classic" age of Greece takes place during the early life of Rome. The Hellenistic period is during Rome's rise to power. Professor Garland provides excellent synthesis of the material in the proper context, demonstrating the interplay of the two cultures. He explores both cultures and governments, with an emphasis on the differences, similarities, and strengths of each society, and how each influenced the other. I have recently finished listening to a half dozen books about ancient civilizations, including the histories of Rome and Greece. This lecture is an excellent find for me- bringing it all together for a better understanding. The approach taken by Professor Garland reshapes the study of these two great societies, giving the listener a new perspective and a fuller and more complex world view.
But the biggest reason I recommend this lecture series is that it's just a really interesting and fun listen!! The teacher is excellent the material is fascinating, and it's just a truly enjoyable experience! Each lecture is engaging and compelling. I kept thinking- ok just one more lecture before bed... That kept happening well into the night, so that I was up early into the next morning, fighting sleep just to hear a little bit more.
This audiobook/lecture is a complete success, and I'm forever grateful that the Great Courses series is available through Audible!! If you are interested in the time period or in the history of either Rome or Greece, you will enjoy this audiobook!! It is one of the best, and the professor is a joy. Don't pass it up! If you are interested enough to read this review, then you should get this audiobook now!! :)
"Completely Brilliant!! Fresh and thrilling POV!"
I am so blown away that someone could make this age-old story fresh and new!! Caroline Alexander has written an extraordinary book, with an in-depth look at the actual events of Homer's Iliad. Not the historicity of the events, though it is discussed, but she focuses on the importance and meaning of the language, characters and events in this epic story. I've studied it in high school, college, and have read innumerable books that look at every aspect of the Iliad. However, this author makes it all seem brand new! Setting each scene in the context of the contemporary meaning, Alexander's interpretation opens a whole new enchanting world to readers, reviving this tired tale to its intended glory! Anyone with a passing interest of ancient history will enjoy this audiobook.
I must admit when I think of the Iliad, I roll my eyes. I'm bored by the thought of Homer. I believed, until now, that I had heard all there was to say about the Trojan War and Achilles. But I was Completely Wrong! I will not roll my eyes again to anything written by this author! She is quite brilliant and fascinating! I think she could make the phone book seem interesting. :)
Michael Page is the PERFECT narrator. Making it a must buy!! I'm thrilled that decided to listen to this! A great surprise find!
"I worship Will Durant, but..."
This early book isn't the best introduction to Durant's body of work, nor is it indicative of his later grace, style and delectable brilliance. I'm not saying it is poorly written, but he makes references to people and modes of thought that he doesn't discuss, many I am not familiar with, or that I need a refresher to remember.
This was Durant's first published success. The money he made through this book allowed him the opportunity to travel to each location he writes about in his Magnus Opus "History of Civilization." (Volumes 1-4 are currently available on a Audible. They will blow your mind)
I'm not in a position to give a critical review of this work, because I am not nearly as well-versed in philosophy. However, I know a little, and I was confused about his choices. For ex. Will chooses a few obvious philosophers, Plato, Aristotle, then next up: Francis Bacon??? Wait where are the Stoics? Epicureans? These seem important. Moreover, after listening to his short expo on Bacon, I have no idea why he is important. (I'm not saying he isn't imp, just that this treatment of him is too short to be worthwhile)
Now, are you still reading my review? I feel guilty for saying anything about Durant that is less than entirely positive. My feelings about his History of Civilization can't be put into words. So much of his personality comes out in his HoC series, that it's hard not to adore him. But....
But if you want a real refresher on western philosophy- check out History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russel. It's an exceptional audiobook. Russell was a bit older, but was still a contemporary of Durant, and is cited in his books. This generation of authors is spectacular!
--- This audio had excellent narration. And if you are a philosophy buff, you might completely adore this.
"Unparalleled Genius, Artist and Sage."
You should start from the beginning. It's worth it and then some. Every one of these books is a true masterpiece. The synthesis of material in this particular volume is breathtaking. Durant truly grasps every subject about which he writes. The breadth and depth of every book so far has amazed me.
I can find no one who compares with Durant's work in the History of Civilization. It will shift your perspective and open your world view. It might even make you a little more compassionate toward the human race.
These books have ruined me for any other author!!
Please Audible- give us the rest!!! I've listened to the first 3 over and over, waiting for each one! This book was such an exciting surprise when I saw it was available.
Please give us the rest!!
And thank you for making this volume available.

Chickpeas with MushroomsOther spicy chickpea recipes from Lisa's Vegetarian Kitchen you are sure to enjoy:
1 cup of dried chickpeas, rinsed and soaked in enough water overnight to cover
1/4 cup of ghee, or olive oil
1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
2 inch piece of cinnamon stick
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 inch piece of ginger, grated or finely chopped
1 medium clove of garlic, crushed or finely chopped
10 - 12 mushrooms (cremini or white button mushrooms), sliced into wide strips
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne
1 small tomato, diced
2 -3 fresh green chilies, seeded and finely chopped
sea salt to taste
8 - 10 tortillas
fresh parsley
chopped tomatoes
Begin by cooking the chickpeas. Drain, transfer to a large pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cover and cook until the chickpeas are buttery soft - roughly 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Drain, reserving the cooking liquid and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the cumin seeds and cinnamon stick. Stir and fry for a minute. Now add the onions and stir and fry until the onions begin to brown - roughly 5 minutes. Toss in the ginger and garlic, coriander, cumin, turmeric and cayenne. Stir and then add the mushrooms and cook until they begin to lose their liquid. Add the tomato, chopped chilies and a 1/2 cup of reserved chickpea cooking liquid (or water). Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the cooked chickpeas to the pot, along with the salt and 1 cup of the reserved chickpea cooking liquid (or water). Bring to a gentle boil, reduce the heat to low and cover and simmer for another 15 - 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
To serve as a wrap, place a few tablespoons of the chickpea mushroom mixture in the middle of a tortilla bread. Add some finely chopped tomato, chopped fresh parsley or cilantro and finely sliced onion if desired. Wrap, transfer to a plate and top with fresh yogurt or sour cream drizzled with hot sauce or with your favorite chutney or salsa.

Woven Ice Chest
Woven Ice Chest
I have purchased many patio furniture and accessories and all are of very good quality!! This cava is excellent! highly recommend it.
July 31, 2014
Pretty and useful
I was wanting this chest to store my outside dishes in because it looked so nice. It is pretty and it keeps the dishes surprisingly clean and spider free! It closes tight. We have also used it for the intended purpose as a cooler and it works great! The rattan exterior blends in with our existing patio furniture.
July 9, 2014
Wow Factor
I must say,
The coolers are truly beautiful. Well constructed a touch of class. I can not speak on durability but I can only hope that they function accordingly. I have been so dissapointed with other coolers on wheels particularly the inner lining cracking during the cold season even when covered. I am told that you can leave these coolers in the elements and they will hold up. I have no complaints thus far.

Beautiful Ice Chest
I have been looking at this Ice Chest for a year and finally purchased it! Best decision ever!. It is beautiful and well made. You can't see the aluminum feet online well but I am exttemly pleased, they look great. The lid closes tight and will keep anything in it cold for hours. It also goes well with the Melrose sectional I just received.
June 29, 2013
Woven Ice Chest
We just love our woven ice chest. It can hold a lot of
beverages and keeps it amazingly cold! The appearance of the chest is lovely and it matches my
other decor. One thing we really like about it is that
when not using it for beverages in the heat of the summer then in the fall we use it as an ottoman or a piece of
furniture to place things on top of. Great looking!
December 22, 2012
Excellent Customer Service
I recently purchased a woven ice chest which arrived damaged. One call to Customer Service immediately & courteously took care of the problem. A pick up of the damaged item was arranged and a replacement was FedEx'd Next Day because i needed the item right away. By providing such excellent service following a complaint, Frontgate is assured of my continued patronage.
August 31, 2012
Spacious Ice Chest
This is an excellent beverage chest, and is much larger than it looks in the picture. It also doubles as an ottoman or a stool when it is not being opened, and seems to go perfectly with the Del Ray outdoor furniture I purchased earlier. Very much worth the price. It is new so I do not yet know about durability.
October 1, 2012
Best Cooler Ever!
This cooler is the best cooler for many reasons. First, it is constructed well and is attractive looking. It is also very roomy inside. The drain in the center of the cooler makes it easy to clean the cooler.

The College News Volume III. No. 26 BRYN MAWR, PA., MAY 9, 1917 Price 5 Cents ORALS MAV BE ABOLISHED Faculty Takes Action FINAL DECISION IN ABEYANCE -------- The substitution of written examina- tions in French and German for the his toric senior orals has been passed by a ! vote of the faculty, but the matter as a whole is now in the hands of a faculty committee which is considering ways and means. The committee will make its re-1 port at the faculty meeting on Thursday, May 17th. after which the decision will so before the directors. The faculty's action apparently does not effect the seven seniors left to take the fourth oral next Saturday morning, six in German and two in Preach. An- other red claMi IDlSi �;i- the last which failed to roll its hoops. THE FOUNDING OF BRYN MAWR Bryn Mawr's Quaker foundation has not prevented its being from the first a non-sectarian institution. Its pur- pose as conceived by its founder. Dr. Joseph W. Taylor, was to extend "to young women the opportunities for a college education so freely offered to young men". Dr. Taylor intended at first that Bryn Mawr should be a sis- ter college to Haverford. using the MOM professors and library. Among the few provisions favoring the Society of Friends are three com- petitive entrance scholarships open to Friends only, the restriction that Friends alone shall compose the Board of Trustees, and the Founder's Lec- ture given each year on the priniciplea of the Quaker belief.

The list of seniors receiving their de- grees "cum laude" m read again with the addition of Jeannetta Jameson. Miss Jameson, in the year before degrees were given with special honors, was mista- kenly advised to take a technical condi- tion in a course instead of risking the mark of failure. As a technical condition means the permanent mark of zero, her average was lowered to just below the "cum laude" point until the error was rectified. (Continued on nag? 2, column 2) PREFER PRISON TO AR1V.Y Recalling the suffering of Quakers in time Of war, I'rofessor Rufus II. Jones. who delivered the annual Founder's Lec- ture Wednesday evening in Taylor, rep- resented the ideals by which the Friend is guided. His principle, Dr. Jones said. is in reject ail food tor a possible better. Bather than give up the ideal of peace, many when confronted with conscription go to prison, in Bngland, in Jones explained after wards, the law provides for the exemp- tion of conscientious objectors; yet out Of 80,090 the courts would admit only six lo he conscientious.

MISS KINGSBURY IS PRESIDENT C. S. A. Continues Under New Name By Special Correspondent Mt. Ivy. N. Y.. May 6.�Dr. Susan Myra Kingsbury of Bryn Mawr (ollege was yesterday elected President of the Inter- collegiate Community Service Associa- tion, the new name under which the Col- lege Settlements Association Is organ- ized. This name crystallizes the fea- tures of the new plans for the ('. S. A., first to broaden its relations with the undergraduates and second to be of ma- terial assistance to the Alumna; who wish to do some form of community work. The Association stands pledged to con- tinue the work of its settlement houses in Boston, New York. Philadelphia, and Baltimore. . . At the present time such work is a national service of even greater Importance than driving army officers from recruiting station to armory in limousines or taking superficial train- ing courses. Quaker Not Metaphysical The Quaker's forms without his ex- I � i ence Dr. Jones compared tO the phe- nomenon of the "Cheshire Cat", a grin without a face.

For this reason he �llghl interest in metaphysics, such as occupied the Hth and 15th centuries "Whatever your mind comes at, I tell you flat. God is not that", he quoted, as a sample of the jingling philosophy which the Quaker escaped. Dr. Jones is Professor of Philosophy and Psychology at Haverford. and is widely known throughout the country as the greatest living authority on mysti- 1 clsni. Many of his books are in the library, among them "Social Law In the , Spiritual World". "A Dynamic Faith", and 'Studies in Mystical Religion".
