WW18: Skarupa gets second hat trick in 7-0 win over Sweden
Sweden USA 0 - 7 (0 - 3, 0 - 0, 0 - 4) Game Sheet Photos
After a win against the host nation Czech Republic in their opening game, Sweden hoped to steal a huge win against the United States in their second game. It was not to be, however, as the defending champions shut out their opponent for the second game in a row, winning 7-0.
It was the second game where Team USA scored at least seven goals, and the teams forwards are already firing on all cylinders. American forward Hayley Skarupa notched her second consecutive hat trick with goals in the first and third periods to bring her tournament-leading total to six goals in two games.
Team USA got on the board early in the game and didnt let up. Alex Carpenter opened the scoring with a goal midway through the first period, and she was quickly followed up by Dana Trivignos power-play goal two minutes later.
Sweden was not able to generate much offence, and did little to harass U.S. goaltender Brianna Laing. Laing eventually succumbed to the U.S. pressure as the Americans poured in four goals in the final period to put the game out of reach.
At 2-0, the U.S. is in firm control of Group A, with one more game against the Czechs before the playoff round begins. Sweden will be going up against a desperate Russian squad that has yet to score in the tournament and will be hoping to avoid another return to the relegation round.
Germany - Canada 0 - 6 (0 - 1, 0 - 1, 0 - 4) Game Sheet Photos
The Germans were tough to crack, but Canada managed to stay undefeated in Group B with a 6-0 victory in their second game. The score could have been much higher if not for an exceptional goaltending effort from Germanys Franziska Albl, who kept her team in contention throughout the first two periods while under heavy pressure.
Despite Canada pouring in over 50 shots by the end of the second period, Albl only let a pair of goals slip by. The first came midway through the first period, when Canadian forward Taylor Woods took a pass from linemate Emily Clarke and converted for the 1-0 lead. Captain Erin Ambrose got the assist on an insurance goal in the second frame when Laura Stacey scored on the power play.
Unfortunately for Albl, her teammates were not able to duplicate Canadas shot production. By the start of the third period Canadian goaltender Elaine Chuli had only been challenged eight times by the German offence. Eventually the Canadian offensive pressure proved too much for Albl, who let in two more goals from Ambrose and Cydney Roesler.
Catherine Dubois scored her fourth goal of the tournament to bring the score to 5-0 and keep her in the hunt for the scoring title with USAs Hayley Skarupa (six goals).
Tuesday will see Canada play against Finland, with the winner heading into the playoff round as one of the top seeds in the group. Germany has a do-or-die game against the Swiss, with a trip to the relegation round if they lose.Czech Republic Russia 1 - 0 (0 - 0, 0 - 0, 1 - 0) Game Sheet Photos
In an uncharacteristically low-scoring game for both teams, the Czech Republic won 2-0 on a pair of third period goals, while Russia is staring at a possible date in the relegation round after being shut out for the second consecutive game.
Things got off slowly for the Czech offence. After they managed to kill off three consecutive penalties in the first period, the home team found their legs in the second period but were unable to convert on a pair of powerplay opportunities. Tereza Vanisova final broke the deadlock at outset of the third period, with Aneta Ledlova on the assist.Her linemate Klara Chmelova added an insurance marker soon after, when she converted a short handed goal following a game misconduct against Klara Mazankova for kneeing an opposing player.
As in their game against the US yesterday, goaltender Margarita Monakhova got little help from her forwards, as the Russians were unable to capitalize on a number of early scoring chances. Team Russias opportunities dwindled as the game went on and the Czech offence grew bolder. The Czechs put intense pressure on the Russian netminder with 23 shots on net in the second period, culminating in Vanisovas game winner early in the third.
Depending on the result of Swedens game against the United States, Russia could be destined for the relegation round. Should Sweden lose, the winner of Tuesday's Russia-Sweden game will advance to the playoffs. The Czechs will face the United States in their final Group A game, but are assured to advance to the playoff round based on todays victory.Finland Switzerland 3 - 5 (2 - 1, 1 - 4, 0 - 0) Game Sheet PhotosGoing into their game against 2011 bronze medal winners Finland, the Swiss ladies needed a win to keep alive their playoff chances. They not only got their victory, but got it through a spirited performance, coming back twice from early one-goal deficits to win 5-3.
Switzerland showed tenacity throughout the game, keeping up with the Finnish skaters and coming up with an answering goal each time they fell behind. Shortly after Isabel Waidacher knotted the game up at 2-2 in the second period, Phoebe Stanz got out of the penalty box and drove a shot home to put her team up by a score at 15:48.
After Finlands Venla Kotkaslahti scored the equalizing goal two minutes later, her teammate Emma Retari was sent to the penalty box for tripping. Stanz struck again on the ensuing powerplay, burying her second goal of the game. Selina Wuttke added another before the end of the period and the Finns found themselves down 5-3.
With the win, Switzerland is set to play Germany next, a game that could determine who advances out of Group B and who plays in the relegation round. Finland has a date with the Canadians in the final Group B game for each team.

return BestBullySticks has the best customer service I have incountered. I had a problem with an item ordered, after calling you said I could return the item for exchange. I expected that I would return the item and you would then forward out a replacement. To my disbelief I received a replacement package with the return label asking me to place the items in the box and send them back. It was so painless and easy. You should all get a gold metal in customer satisfaction. Thank you so much! --Eileen |
Same 12" for 100 lb dog and 7 lb dog! My big Newf and little Yorkie enjoy the same 12" Bully Sticks. The Yorkie can make one last for a week, but we are going through them much faster with our Newf puppy. The treats I buy from you NEVER make them sick the way locally purchased store treats do. THANKS! --Deb |
Satisfied Customer Recently I placed my first order with your company, and I was very pleased. I ordered bully sticks, trachea and cow ears and they are big hits with my greyhounds! I was so impressed with the packaging and how fast it was delivered, that I recommended you to a friend and she too, was extremely pleased with her first order. I'm so glad to have found your company! --Sue D. |

Smart Furbabies Your chicken jerky is the greatest, only problem is I have to hide them behind locked doors. I have 2 shihtzus and s shihtzu/poodle mix and I have to either lock the treats up or hang them from the ceiling these days. They have learned how to unzip zippers. They unzipped a bag I had left out( it had an afghan I was making in it) and I went to do some shopping when I got home they unzipped the bag never hermed the afghan and removed a 4lb bag of the (only 3 sticks had been removed) and they ate every last one that was left in the bag. You turned my furbabies into piglets. Can't wait for next shipment to arrive. I will lock them up. Mary --Mary Schroer |

Watch this video trailer for Tempest, the new novel by Julie Cross.
Listen to this audiobook excerpt from Julie Cross' young adult novel Tempest, narrated by Matthew Brown. The year is 2009. Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy... he's in college, has a girlfriend... and he can travel back through time. But it's not like the movies -- nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there's no space-time continuum issues or broken flux capacitors -- it's just harmless fun.
"I have seen the future and it is Jackson Meyer! I loved Julie Cross's engrossing and engaging TEMPEST. If I could time-jump, I'd read the sequel yesterday at the very latest." —Nancy Holder, New York Times bestselling author of the CRUSADE series"Julie Cross's thrilling debut is brimming with excitement, romance, and intrigue. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough!" —Beth Revis, New York Times-bestselling author of ACROSS THE UNIVERSE"Jackson Meyer is a 19-year-old Upper East Sider with a loving and loyal girlfriend, a brilliant and funny best friend and an unexpected and exciting new talent. Jackson can suddenly "jump" back and forth in time. Cross takes readers on a thrilling ride as Jackson struggles to harness his abilities in a desperate attempt to learn the truth about who he is and, even more importantly, who he can trust. The characters are…complex and distinct, they will work their way into readers' hearts and stay with them long after the book is finished. Equal parts adventure, romance, science fiction…readers will turn the last page and find themselves wishing they could "jump" to the future and read the sequel."—KIRKUS REVIEWS, starred review"Debut author Cross launches a trilogy with an exciting and complex page-turner about difficult choices. Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer can travel in time, but he's no Doctor Who—he can only make short jumps backward, and he can't change anything. It's all harmless experimentation until his girlfriend, Holly, is shot when two gunmen attempt to kidnap him. Panicked, Jackson jumps back two years and gets stuck there. The consequences of unprepared time travel and Jackson pretending to be his 17-year-old self are amusing, but as he explores his life and pursues Holly (now his girlfriend-to-be), the already gripping story escalates. Jackson discovers his father's secret life with a shadowy government agency called Tempest, and father and son become tangled with violent rival time travelers determined to alter the course of history. As Jackson explores his powers, he has no idea which side to trust or who is trying to kill him, and failure to make the right decisions threaten worldwide repercussions. It's a story packed with moments both tender and electric—Cross's zippy writing and fresh plot are an exhilarating combination."—Publishers Weekly"It's likely readers will want to time travel to early 2013 to read book No. 2 in this fast-paced and inventive series."—The Los Angeles Times"One of my favorite books of 2012."—EW.com"'Okay, so it's true. I can time travel. But it's not as exciting as it sounds.' Actually, it is every bit as exciting as it sounds. And the more Jackson learns about his powers and the nature of time travel, the more thrilling this novel gets. At first the teen treats his ability as a benign experiment and fodder for his geeky buddy's theorizing, but soon his talent becomes the key to saving his girlfriend and, quite possibly, the world. After watching Holly get shot, Jackson learns that most of what he knows about himself and his family is a lie and that powerful, opposing forces are willing to do just about anything to have him and his developing powers on their side. While the details of time travel are complex, they don't overpower the story, which remains focused on Jackson's relationships with Holly and his father. Teens looking for a romantic, high-adrenaline novel will have a hard time putting this one down. Jackson's sacrifice at the end will tug on heart strings and leave readers hungry for the next installment in a projected trilogy."—Library Journal"This fast-paced spy thriller/romance packs a surprising emotional punch that leaves you wanting to leap into the future to devour the upcoming sequel."—Entertainment Weekly"Once I started TEMPEST, I couldn't put it down. Once I finished TEMPEST, I was dying for the next installment. Julie Cross takes readers on an unforgettable trip through time in this inventive, suspenseful and romantic tale. A thrilling debut from a fantastic new voice." —Courtney Summers, Award-Winning author of CRACKED UP TO BE and SOME GIRLS ARE"A good thriller moves forward at high speed, but only a superlative thriller can take you on a breathtaking journey through the fourth dimension. Julie Cross's ingenious story is vividly imagined and splendidly rendered, hitting just the right notes with liberal doses of suspense, intrigue, and romance. Throw in a pitch-perfect cast of engaging characters, and you've got a blockbuster young adult debut that will keep readers glued to the pages." —Sophie Littlefield, Award-Winning author of BANISHEDFor time traveler Jackson Meyer, the past is the key to his increasingly dangerous future. But who can he trust? The CIA? His mysterious father? Or his conspiracy-theory addicted best friend? A maze of ingenious twists and turns, TEMPEST takes you on a magic carpet ride that will have you flipping pages to the end. —Jana Oliver, author of THE DEMON TRAPPER'S DAUGHTER

In the first half of this 2 hour DVD, Vashti goes over Gypsy stylization and technique. This section includes: Arms and Posture, Skirt Work, The Zambra Step, Vuelta de Pasos, and The Rumba Step. In the second half of the DVD, Vashti teaches a dynamic Gypsy choreography with skirt. Each section is slowly and thoroughly broken down. There are several optional level increases that will challenge the advanced dancer, but can be left out to make the choreography easier. Vashti is the Artistic Director for Bellydance Odyssey Productions and Dance Odyssey Studio in Soquel, California and the winner of the 2005 Gypsy Stylist award. A few words from Vashti: "Welcome to Vashti's Gypsy Passion. My name is Vashti and I am the Artistic Director for Bellydance Odyssey Productions and Dance Odyssey Studio in Soquel, California. My goal is to teach you a gypsy fusion dance routine using a full skirt. This DVD is organized in a way that allows you to use it as a beginner and as an advanced student because I have included optional level increases. A word about stylization. I have used the word "gypsy" to describe a stylization - not a people. This choreography is a fusion of Middle Eastern dance movement and "gitana" or flamenco stylization. I have also included some dance movement from my own cultural heritage - so you will find that some movement resembles the folkloric dances of Mexico and Colombia. Finally, this DVD includes some chapters which break down specific dance steps we will use in our dance but it does not provide a complete technique breakdown. As a point of reference you should know that I utilize some vocabulary and movement from my training in the Suhaila Salimpour format."This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

Cardamom Bread
Cardamom, a rich aromatic spice, has been highly regarded by bakers for centuries. This Baker's Collection recipe was contributed by an avid cook and baker, Phyllis Simon of Park Ridge, Illinois.
This recipe is featured at Thyme In Our Kitchen.
This recipe makes 1 loaf
Small | Medium | Large | |
Water | 1 TBSP | 2 TBSP | |
Milk | 1/2 cup | 3/4 cup | 1 cup |
Butter (room temperature) | 2 TBSP | 3 TBSP | 1/4 cup |
Egg (room temperature) | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Bread Flour | 2+1/4 cup | 3 cup | 4 cup |
Salt | 1/4 tsp | 1/2 tsp | 3/4 tsp |
Sugar | 2 TBSP | 3 TBSP | 1/4 cup |
Ground Cardamom | 1/2 tsp | 3/4 tsp | 1 tsp |
Active Dry Yeast | 1+1/2 tsp | 2+1/4 tsp | 1 TBSP |
Bread Machine Method
Have liquid ingredients at 80º F and all others at room temperature. Place ingredients in pan in the order listed. Select dough cycle. Check dough consistency after 5 minutes of kneading. The dough should be in a soft, tacky ball. If it is dry and stiff, add water, 1/2 to 1 tablespoon at a time. If it is too wet and sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time. Remove dough after first rising is finished, and follow Shaping & Baking directions below. See our Bread Machine section for more helpful tips and information.
Mixer Methods
Using ingredient amounts listed for medium loaf, combine yeast, 1 cup flour, and other dry ingredients. Combine water and milk; heat to 120º to 130º F.
Hand-Held Mixer Method
Combine dry mixture, liquid ingredients, and butter in mixing bowl on low speed. Beat 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed. Add egg; beat 1 minute. By hand, stir in enough remaining flour to make a firm dough. Knead on floured surface 5 to 7 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until dough tests ripe.
Stand Mixer Method
Combine dry mixture, liquid ingredients, and butter in mixing bowl with paddle or beaters for 4 minutes on medium speed. Add egg; beat 1 minute. Gradually add remaining flour and knead with dough hook(s) 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until dough tests ripe.
Food Processor Method
Have all ingredients at room temperature. Put dry mixture in processing bowl with steel blade. While motor is running, add butter, egg, and liquid ingredients. Process until mixed. Continue processing, adding remaining flour until dough forms a ball. Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until dough tests ripe.
Shaping, Rising and Baking
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; punch down to remove air bubbles. Divide dough into 3 parts. Roll each piece into a 16-inch rope; line up ropes one inch apart on a greased cookie sheet. Braid loosely; pinch ends together and tuck under. Cover; let rise until indentation remains when touched. Brush with milk and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake in preheated 375º F oven 20 to 25 minutes.
*You can substitute Instant (fast-rising) yeast in place of Active Dry Yeast. When using Instant Yeast, expect your dough to rise faster. Always let your dough rise until ripe. Traditional methods: use equal amounts; Bread Machine: use ½ tsp Instant Yeast OR ¾ tsp Active Dry Yeast per cup of flour in your recipe. Visit our Lessons in Yeast & Baking for more information on baking.

Liquid Lunch
Having already earned back-to-back spots on Connecticut Magazine's Best of Connecticut in 2009 and 2010, Liquid Lunch keeps bellies full and spoons out of the unemployment line with a slurp-worthy twist on midday meals. Culinary Institute of America graduate and owner Fred Bialek and his wife, Michele, were inspired to open the first Liquid Lunch in 2004, when they'd grown tired of lunchtime standards such as pizza, burgers, and lightly salted printouts of old PowerPoint presentations.
Today, at Liquid Lunch's still-growing roster of locations, a rotating lineup of gourmet soups cascades across the menu alongside six staple soups, including vegetarian lentil and split pea with ham. For an extra crunch, diners can plunge fork-first into salads, or explore healthy Sammiches, which escort taste buds around the globe with names influenced by their ingredients and spear-pickles engraved with necessary passport information.

Yellow Pages came with bugs
Original post made by Yellow Pages came with bugs on May 11, 2012
Two books, one larger than the other.
When I set them on the table, a bug crawled out. Looked like a termite, my wife says might be a "silverfish."
Here's more info from the web:
Web Link
It says they love paper, starches, and cause serious damage to clothes, drapes, etc.
Just wanted to warn others, so you can be careful not to bring an infestation into your house.

I brought home a overpriced bunch of bananas from Safeway. A little green spider crawled out onto our kichen table. I swore I'd never shop at a unionized grocery store ever again.
on May 11, 2012 at 7:25 pm
@steven...I know your a troller...but I need a laugh this evening so here goes....steven did you ask the spider to show you his union card??? Hahaha your a piece of something.

One solution for getting rid of unwanted mail -- catalog choice. Start an account at Catalogchoice.org and you can get catalogs, yellow pages, credit card offers and all sorts of junk mail stopped. It works! And it's FREE!
They also have a service where you purchase a postage paid envelope, tear off mailing info for unwanted mail, send it to them and they do all the work to get it stopped. They are working to get the USPS to quit the every door direct mail program unless there is a permanent opt out feature.
This is a non-profit company and I have no affiliation at all with them other than as a VERY satisfied user.

The NTPUD board elections are here. Friends run against friends and things get personal. This time, unlike most elections, we actually have competition. I've worked with and am friends with all 6 candidates. They're all honest people. I've asked them to increase public participation in the election process and board meetings. The NTPUD is our only local governing body. They influence our lives and pocketbooks and the process should be more open.1. NTPUD elections should be "at large." Since NTPUD directors represent the entire district there is no reason to run for individual seats. If this election were "at large," there would be 6 candidates vying for 3 seats. As voters, we'd select three candidates. With separate races, we might vote for someone we prefer in one race and be forced to vote for a lesser choice in another.2. Board meetings should be changed to a better time to allow more public participation. Ten am meetings don't work for business owners or workers.Ramona Cruz, Teresa O'Dette and Ernie Dambach have all agreed to make these changes so I'm supporting them. My support of these candidates has nothing to do with a "rumored" merger of the two PUDs. But It's no secret I think the two PUDs should undertake another study about the possibility.Finally, I have known and worked with Ramona Cruz for 25 years. She's as honest and ethical as they get and has been a tireless volunteer in our community. She raised her son in Kings Beach. As a PUD board member, I know Ramona's agenda will be to do what's best for our district. To suggest otherwise is not to know Ramona.I hope this is the last election where friends run against friends and potential candidates choose not to enter the contest. We can do better.Dave Ferrari, Kings BeachBoard member, Sierra College
Letter to the Editor: Vote Dambach, Cruz, O'Dette for NTPUD board

With a lot of these neo-folk bands on the circuit today, the guys put on vests or suspenders and the girls wear "Little House on the Prairie" dresses. They all pick up some banjos and whatnot and really dig in, in a not-very-traditional-folky, aggressive way. The Last Bison, from Chesapeake, Virginia is one such band. They'll be playing at the Newport Folk Festival in July, but they're coming to Fairfield now. They use traditional folk instruments and classical strings to achieve their indie-rock-via-mountaintop post-Mumford (po-Mum) sound.

If the little bundle of joy is yet to be determined there are some similar items with the essentials of child care that are free of pink and blue such as the Little Froggy Bath Tote.

A Story Still to Be Told
The Cold War: A New History
At first glance John Lewis Gaddis is the ideal person to write a general history of the cold war: he has already written six books on the same subject. His new book is based on a popular undergraduate course at Yale, where Gaddis is the Robert A. Lovett Professor of History. To be sure, it is not clear in what precise respect this latest version is distinctively new—We Now Know: Rethinking Cold War History (1997) had a decidedly stronger claim.1 But Gaddis, the "dean of cold war historians" according to The New York Times, writes with confidence and consummate self-assurance. And with so much practice he has his story down pat.
The cold war in Gaddis's account was both inevitable and necessary. The Soviet empire and its allies could not be rolled back but they had to be contained. The resulting standoff lasted forty years. A lot of time and money was spent on nuclear weapons and the cautious new strategic thinking to which they gave rise. Partly for this reason there were no major wars (though there were a number of nerve-wracking confrontations). In the end—thanks to greater resources, a vastly more attractive political and economic model, and the initiative of a few good men (and one good woman)—the right side won. Since then, new complications have arisen, but we can at least be grateful to have said goodbye to all that.
Gaddis is most comfortable when discussing grand strategy, and the best parts of his new book are those that deal with the impact of the nuclear arms race on American policymakers. He discusses at length, and with some sympathy, Washington's decades-long preoccupation with "credibility": how to convince the Soviets that we would indeed be willing to go to war over various parts of Europe and Asia while insisting with as much conviction as possible upon our reluctance to do so. If the cold war "worked" as a system for keeping the peace it was because—albeit for slightly different reasons—Moscow had parallel preoccupations. These tense but stable arrangements, based on the apposite acronym MAD (mutually assured destruction), only came near to breaking down when one side temporarily lost faith in its antagonist's commitment to the system: over Cuba in 1962, when Khrushchev miscalculated and Kennedy initially misread his intentions; and in the early Eighties, when Ronald Reagan's huge rearmament program and reiterated rhetorical challenges to the "Evil Empire" led Moscow to believe that the US really was planning a preemptive nuclear first strike, and to prepare accordingly.2
Any history of the cold war that pays sustained attention to such issues of high strategy is likely to have its gaze firmly fixed upon the Great Powers. So it is with Gaddis. However, his close familiarity with the history of American foreign policy is not matched by a comparable expertise in the sources and psychology of Soviet strategic calculation. Gaddis's account of American statesmen and their doings is detailed and lively. His coverage of Soviet behavior, by contrast, is conventional and two-dimensional. What emerges is a history of the cold war narrated as a superpower confrontation, but largely from the perspective of just one of those powers.
Until the fall of the Soviet Union, such unbalanced accounts were the norm. Little reliable information was available about Soviet thinking. Political observers were thus reduced either to "Kremlinology"—scouring speeches, newspaper editorials, and podium lineups—or else to deducing Communist behavior from Marxist principles. But as Gaddis himself has demonstrated elsewhere, we now know quite a lot about the thinking behind Soviet policies—rather more, in fact, than we do about some Western undertakings, thanks to the opening of Communist archives. So if The Cold War: A New History is so heavily weighted toward an American perspective, this cannot be an effect of unbalanced sources.3
It turns out to be the product of a decidedly partial viewpoint. Gaddis is an unapologetic triumphalist. America won the cold war because Americans deserved to win it. Unlike the Russians they were "impatient with hierarchy, at ease with flexibility, and profoundly distrustful of the notion that theory should determine practice rather than the other way around." As the cold war got underway, only America understood what "justice" meant:
For the Americans, that term meant political democracy, market capitalism, and—in principle if not always in practice—respect for the rights of individuals. For the British and French, still running colonial empires, it meant something short of that…. And for Stalin's Soviet Union, "justice" meant the unquestioning acceptance of authoritarian politics, command economies, and the right of the proletariat to advance, by whatever means the dictatorship that guided it chose to employ, toward a worldwide "classless" society.
Even Gaddis is constrained to concede that in their pursuit of justice American statesmen occasionally resorted to shady dealings and tactics. But he insists that whereas politicians elsewhere (in China, in the Soviet Union, in Western Europe) might be congenital sinners and cynics, for Americans this was something new—a byproduct of the cold war itself. American statesmen were forced to import the moral ambiguities of foreign conflicts into which they were being drawn:
And so the Cold War transformed American leaders into Machiavellians. Confronted with "so many who are not good," they resolved "to learn to be able not to be good" themselves, and to use this skill or not use it, as the great Italian cynic—or patriot—had put it, "according to necessity."
No doubt intended to flatter Truman and his colleagues, this irenic account of the loss of American innocence has the reverse effect. It bathes US history before the cold war in a sort of prelapsarian glow, while implausibly portraying worldly, cosmopolitan diplomats like Harriman, Acheson, Kennan, Bohlen, and others as a generation of benign provincial gentlemen reluctantly obliged to compromise their ethics and adopt the sophisticated, worldly wiles of their foes in order to overcome them.
Appropriately enough, Gaddis's way of narrating cold war history reflects the same provincialism he foists approvingly upon his American protagonists. In part this is a matter of style—the author resorts quite often to down-home cliché: Eastern Europe in 1956 was a "powder keg," communism was "like a building constructed on quicksand." At times he edges close to bathos: Richard Nixon was defeated by "an adversary more powerful than either the Soviet Union or the international communist movement. It was the Constitution of the United States of America." But this folksy prose—while maladapted to the broad-brush historical overviews Gaddis occasionally attempts ("Karl Marx knew little about penguins, but he did acknowledge, in the sexist terminology of 1852, that 'Men make their own history'")—is also a function of his terms of reference. John Lewis Gaddis has written a history of America's cold war: as seen from America, as experienced in America, and told in a way most agreeable to many American readers.
As a result, this is a book whose silences are especially suggestive. The "third world" in particular comes up short. How we look at international history is always in some measure a function of where we stand. But it takes a uniquely parochial perspective—and one ill-becoming someone described by Michael Beschloss in The New York Times Book Review as "a scholar of extraordinary gifts" offering "his long-awaited retrospective verdict on the cold war"—to publish a history of the cold war containing not even an index entry for Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Panama, Grenada, or El Salvador, not to speak of Mozambique, the Congo, or Indonesia. Major events in Iran—where the CIA's 1953 coup against Mohammad Mosaddeq is still held against the US—and Guatemala (where the US toppled Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán on June 27, 1954, precipitating decades of armed and bloody conflict) each receive passing acknowledgment from Gaddis, summarized thus: "The consequences, in both regions, proved costly."
Indeed so. But those costs are never analyzed, much less incorporated into the author's evaluation of the cold war as a whole. For Gaddis, as for so many American politicians and statesmen, the "third world" was a sideshow, albeit one in which hundreds of thousands of the performers got killed.4 And he seems to believe that whatever unfortunate developments took place in the course of these peripheral scuffles, they were confined to the cold war's early years. Later, things improved: "The 1970s were not the 1950s." Well, yes they were—in El Salvador, for example, not to mention Chile. But this sort of tunnel vision, tipping most of the world offstage and focusing exclusively upon Great Power confrontations in Europe or East Asia, is the price Gaddis pays for placing himself firmly in Washington, D.C., when "thinking" the cold war. For the other superpower saw the cold war very differently.
Seen from Moscow, the cold war was in very substantial measure about the non-European world. While President Kennedy and his advisers worried in October 1962 that Nikita Khrushchev's Cuban missiles were a diversionary prelude to an attack on Berlin, the Soviet leadership (who were irritated by their East German clients and really didn't care much about Berlin except as a diplomatic pawn) dreamed of a revolutionary front in Latin America. "For a quarter of a century," one expert writes, "the KGB, unlike the CIA, believed that the Third World was the arena in which it could win the Cold War."5 In pursuit of local influence on the African continent, Moscow fueled a huge arms boom there from the early Seventies through the onset of perestroika. Indeed, it is precisely those African countries most corrupted by the "proxy" wars of the later cold war that were to become the "failed states" of our own time—one of a number of ways in which the cold war and the post–cold war eras are intimately intertwined, though you would not learn this from Gaddis.
In Africa, as in Latin America, the cold war was a clash of empires rather than ideologies. Both sides supported and promoted unsavory puppets and surrogates. But whereas the Soviet Union treated its impoverished third-world clients with cynical disdain and did not even pretend to be in the business of promoting "democracy" or freedom, the US did—which is why it was so much more vulnerable to the charge of hypocrisy, whether supporting authoritarian regimes in Spain or Portugal, venal and corrupt rulers in Vietnam or Egypt, "terrorists" in Afghanistan, or outright dictatorships from Tierra del Fuego to the Mexican border. As a consequence, for all the very real appeal of its music, its clothes, its films, and its way of life (not to speak of its limitless resources), the US would largely fail in later years to reap the benefits of its cold war engagements. It is one of the ironies of the cold war that America's victories in Europe were frequently offset by long-term damage to its reputation further afield, in Vietnam, for example, or the Middle East: the Soviet Union was not the only "loser" in the cold war.
See my essay "Why the Cold War Worked," The New York Review, October 9, 1997. Gaddis's many books include The United States and the Origins of the Cold War, 1941–1947 (Columbia University Press, 1972); Russia, the Soviet Union and the United States: An Interpretive History (Knopf, 1978); Strategies of Containment: A Critical Appraisal of Postwar American National Security Policy (Oxford University Press, 1982); The Long Peace: Inquiries into the History of the Cold War (Oxford University Press, 1987); The United States and the End of the Cold War: Implications, Reconsiderations, Provocations (Oxford University Press, 1992). ↩
Huge increases in the Pentagon budget during Reagan's first term led the KGB and GRU—Soviet military intelligence—to mount the biggest intelligence operation of the cold war in an effort to penetrate Washington's (nonexistent) plans for a nuclear attack. See Christopher Andrew and Vasili Mitrokhin, The Sword and the Shield: The Mitrokhin Archive and the Secret History of the KGB (Basic Books, 1999), pp. 392–393.↩
Except insofar as these are in languages Gaddis does not read. But thanks to the publications of the invaluable Cold War International History Project at the Woodrow Wilson International Center in Washington, even this is no longer an insuperable impediment, as Gaddis himself generously acknowledges.↩
For an alternative viewpoint, see Greg Grandin, The Last Colonial Massacre: Latin America in the Cold War (University of Chicago Press, 2004).↩

Dr. Joseph McRae Mellichamp is Emeritus Professor of Management Science in the Manderson Graduate School of Business at the University of Alabama and National Faculty Representative for Christian Leadership Ministries. For 25 years, Dr. Mellichamp combined successful academic pursuits with effective Christian ministry activities.
Another excellent way to reach out to our non-Christian faculty and staff colleagues is through sponsoring a lecture or lectures by outstanding Christian speakers. Experience with this approach has shown there are generally a number of topics that are practically guaranteed to draw a crowd on college and university campuses. And there is a small but growing pool of men and women who are gifted in addressing these topics in public forums. Christian Leadership Ministries maintains a complete list of speakers available for this type of outreach; I will mention a few here:
Of course, there are numerous other speakers and topics that work well for this particular format, these speakers are some of the most popular and effective on the Christian Leadership Ministries circuit. Should you decide to sponsor a lecture or a series of lectures, you would need to make all arrangements by contacting the speaker directly.
When groups of Christian professors and staff do use the lecture or lecture series format approach to reach out to colleagues, follow-up is a key issue and perhaps more time-consuming than all the arrangements that must be done to bring the speaker to campus. Thus, if you should plan to use this approach, it is suggested that you devote careful attention to follow-up activities and have a number of your people trained and ready to carry out this task. You should plan to use comment cards similar to those described in the Favorite Faculty Events chapter and to have the host or Master of Ceremonies ask the audience at the conclusion to fill out the cards giving name, address and comments relating to the talk. Several days after the lecture, you should attempt to personally contact each person who attended. If the lecture attracted a substantial number of students, the local Christian student ministries would probably be happy to follow-up student contacts for you. You should arrange for this possibility in advance of the lecture.
One option with lecture(s) is to have sponsorship by one or more academic departments. We are seeing more and more of this type of arrangement when our lecturers address topics that relate directly to academic disciplines. One thing that academic department sponsorship does for you is to buy credibility. If, for example, you bring in Phillip Johnson to lecture on his book, Darwin on Trial, and the biology department co-sponsors the talk, you automatically have bumped the credibility of the lecture to a higher level than if the lecture was sponsored by the Christian Faculty/Staff Fellowship alone. Another really nice thing about doing a lecture jointly with an academic department is that the department will usually pick up some, if not all, of the costs involved with bringing the speaker to campus, including publicity, travel expenses, honorarium, and any facility costs involved. Obviously, we need to become much more intentional in this regard. One wonders how long academic departments will continue to work as allies in our efforts; I suspect that as long as our speakers are lecturing on topics that are in the mainstream of academic pursuits, we will have this opportunity.
One interesting variation on the lecture theme that has proven quite effective on a few campuses is the idea of a debate. The Christian Faculty/Staff Fellowship at the University of Minnesota is now co-sponsoring an annual debate with the atheists and humanists association on the subject "Does God Exist?" In January 1996, I attended the first debate which drew a standing room only crowd of more than 400 in an auditorium designed to seat about 300; probably 200 people were turned away for lack of seats. This year, the event drew 950 people! About 15 percent of those attending requested information about the Christian ministries that sponsored the event. As co-sponsor of the event, the atheist/humanist association underwrote most of the funding for the debate. Now, this is what I call effective. When you can get the opposing forces to underwrite your ministry costs, you are doing something right.
I've always thought it strange that probably the No. 1 way we as Christian professors and staff reach out to colleagues is to invite them to something at church. The last place in the world a non-Christian wants to go is church. Inviting colleagues to a lecture or debate on a topic of general interest to academics is a much more effective way of reaching them for the Savior. There will be plenty of opportunity to get them involved in church after they meet Jesus.

In August 2013, the 177-room Galleria Park Hotel, will complete an 18-month $4 million renovation to celebrate its rich heritage and enhance its stylish appeal to today's discerning traveler.
The Galleria Park Hotel is built upon the site of the former Lick House, recognized as the country's finest hotel west of the Mississippi when it opened in 1862, and the Occidental Hotel, described as "Heaven on a Half Shell" in Mark Twain's novel, "Roughing It".
The Lick House and the Occidental Hotel reigned as San Francisco's Grande Dames until they were destroyed by the 1906 Earthquake and Fire. Their prime location gave birth to the Hotel Sutter, today's Galleria Park Hotel, in 1911. The Galleria Park Hotel is the most historic property within the Joie de Vivre collection.
"Throughout the decades, San Francisco's grand sense of hospitality has survived and thrived to make it one of the world's most popular destinations. We are honored to part of this tradition and strive to be as relevant today as the Lick House and Occidental Hotel were more than 150 years ago," comments James Lim, regional managing director for Joie de Vivre Hotels.
The hotel exudes a timeless yet vibrant style, combining its original Art Deco and Art Nouveau design with contemporary elements and services, for a one-of-a-kind experience.
A hidden gem favored by celebrities, statesmen and guests seeking style and comfort, the Galleria Park Hotel is centrally located in San Francisco at 191 Sutter Street – steps away from the Financial District, world-class shopping and cultural attractions.

Finding a Job in UK, how?
Hi. I am an undergrad student from University of Southern California, USA, and will be graduating in a year. I have interned in a small firm (in LONDON) last summer due to a class I took, and really enjoyed it. Because of the great experience, I am thinking of going back to UK to work, does anyone have any idea on how I should go about, as a foreigner, to find a job in Britain? Cheers

Alesis were at the Summer NAMM show recently to unveil their latest conception, the VideoTrack. A reflection of the rapid convergence between the audio and video production markets, the VideoTrack records standard-definition video (640 x 480 pixels, at 25 to 30fps), but like its competitor, the Zoom Q3, and in contrast to the majority of hand-held video recorders, it is designed to provide high-quality audio recordings, in addition to the video.
Two condenser microphones, arranged as an XY pair, point in the direction of the camera, so the stereo field will always reflect what the camera sees. There are 32MB of storage built in to the device, but the VideoTrack will also accept SD and SDHC flash cards, allowing for significantly increased record time.
As well as recording video, the VideoTrack can take photos like a conventional camera, and there's even a flash available for taking shots in low-light conditions. A headphone output lets you listen to your captured audio and monitor while recording, and there's also an analogue video output, for sending the video out to larger screens.
A USB port handles file transfer, and the VideoTrack comes with ArcSoft's Medial Impression software, which lets you upload footage directly to YouTube once you've copied your recordings to your computer. But perhaps the VideoTrack's biggest selling point will be its price, which is expected to be around $199.
