Skeletons on the Zahara

Not exactly an "adventure". . .
April 13 2004
This review is from:
Skeletons on the Zahara (Hardcover)
This is a harsh but incredible book about a shipwrecked crew's fight for survival in the African desert. Forced to be slaves and often living off of virtually only camel's milk and water (and even those in limited quantities) the crew's story is made vivid and powerful by a skillful author.
The word "adventure" doesn't really fit this well-crafted story. "Adventure" tends to imply that either someone went looking for an exciting experience, enjoyed the experience, or was glad in the end that they had gone through the experience. Neither of those applies to this story. The crew of the wrecked ship were simply merchants, and the events that take place after their ship wrecks were not in any possible way enjoyable to any of the crew. The only people that find enjoyment (if you can call it that) from the events are us, the readers, who get to stand back at a great distance and awe at the incredible hardships and suffering that the men of that crew were able to endure. Once immersed in the telling of this tale, you actually start to wonder how anyone knows about this story because you can't believe that anyone survived to tell the tale. The reader is left amazed by humans in two ways: one-that the human body is able to survive under such conditions, and two-that one large culture of humans are willing to treat another set of humans in such appalling ways. The reader also ends up being amazed by how much research the author did to bring us this story, and how all that research didn't result in a dry or dull telling. On the contrary, the writing is well done and the telling of it keeps you turning the pages. And so as to be completely truthful and fair on my evaluation of this book, I should go ahead and mention, reluctantly, that the beginning is a tad slow at first-but once the story unfolds it never fails to keep your interest. Highly recommended.

Interesting scientific journey
Sept. 3 2002
This review is from:
Double Helix (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is a semi-interesting, semi-enjoyable story of the research and path of discovery of the scientists who figured out the structure of DNA.
For the reader to really enjoy this book, he/she needs to already know some things about DNA prior to reading it. So in that sense, that is one of the book's weaknesses. However, someone who does not know anything about DNA probably wouldn't be interested in it in the first place. So the problem kind of takes care of itself. The book, though, can still easily go over the reader's head in parts. The author does not try to walk the reader through the understanding of the research that went on, and thus the reader can get lost in the specifics and the jargon. However, that is not what the author is interested in doing anyway. He wants us to see the personalities and the human side of the story rather than the scientific details. In this he succeeds. The story could have been dry, but it keeps your attention by making you interested in the people involved and the dynamics of those people behind the discovery. It is a good book that may or may not engross some people, but the reader can't help but get caught up in the excitement when they close in on the final discovery, knowing that they will receive the Nobel Prize and what it means to the biological world. It is a good book but not a great book, and will probably be enjoyed by any reader who is interested in the topic.

An interesting walk through fossil discovery

This review is from:
Walking on Eggs: The Astonishing Discovery of Thousands of Dinosaur Eggs in the Badlands of Patagonia (Hardcover)
This is a fairly good book about the discovery of dinosaur eggs (and a few other fossils) in Argentina and what scientists learned from studying them. An interesting book.
This book is written about a couple of things. Mainly it is the story of what a group of paleontologists discovered at a site in Argentina. They found a number of incredible fossils (some of which had never been seen before) and were able to piece together a picture of what Sauropod dinosaur embryos looked like and what happened to them. They mostly unearthed eggs but they also stumbled across two other skeletons. Overall it was amazing what they found. But the book is also about other things. Within the overall story we are given a history of other dinosaur fossil discoveries as well as lessons on different types of dinosaurs and their classification. We are given a timeline of when dinosaurs lived and some background on how paleontologists collect fossils. All of these things make up the book, so it is not just a simple telling of the story of the discovery. The book isn't fantastic but it is pretty good and generally keeps the attention of the reader. This is the kind of book where if you think you'll be interested in it, there's a good possibility you will but if you aren't interested in it and don't think you'll enjoy it you almost certainly will not. For readers who think they'll be interested, the authors do a good job of taking you through the story by the excitement of discovery. You follow along with them as they come across one great find after another. Sometimes they get a little too technical for the average reader but at other times they don't give as much technical information as the reader may want. And the authors rely a little too much on evolution to try to explain things that aren't full understood. Instead of just saying scientists don't know how something happened or that they can't figure out the whole story, they try to squeeze things into the box of general evolution just because they don't have any other answer at the moment. There are also some slow parts while they go off on a tangent now and then, but it basically flows pretty well and if the readers feel somewhat interested they probably will enjoy this book.

Good story

This review is from:
In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex (Hardcover)
Nantucket, whaling, and survival at sea. This is what comprises this book, and you read them in that order. Some history of Nantucket and whaling can be slow �¿ but interesting, but the story of survival is incredible, and on it�¿s own makes the book worth reading.
The amazing story of survival at sea is what brings readers to this book but it takes a little while to get to that story. The author sets up the picture of Nantucket at that time, and gives us a lot of information that actually is interesting but keeps us from getting to the story. You get the feeling that the author has done a lot of research (which he has) and wants to tell us everything he has learned. There�¿s nothing wrong with this, but it may be more than readers want to know. The story of the whale hitting and sinking the ship and the beginning of their long journey doesn�¿t come until chapter five. Before then we get Nantucket history, the preparation and sailing of their ship and it�¿s experiences with storms and whales and a few islands. Some of this is very intriguing but once we get to chapter five the reader�¿s attention is grabbed and is not let go until near the end of the book. The crew faces extreme dehydration and starvation to the point of death and the reader gets caught up in the desperate struggle for survival of these men. They are faced with, and make, very tough decisions which ultimately involves living and dying. You will be amazed at what the human body can endure and at the strength and determination of the spirit of those men. After this incredible story comes to a close the author tells us what went on after it was all over and the effect this story had. He then gives us more information on related elements which end up veering off into other stories. Readers may find it all very interesting or may see it as a prolonged ending. Over all this is a good, well-researched book that is worth reading.

The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom (Paperback)
This is a story of a man and his fellow prisoners who struggle to make their way to freedom. It is an incredible account of endurance and the will to survive. An all around great story that is definitely worth reading.
This is truly an astounding story. This book will amaze its readers and will grab their attention from the very beginning, and on through the rest of the book. You will hear of the terrible mistreatment of prisoners, but also their lasting endurance. The harshness of their travels and the weather, but also their unyielding determination. This story is about the struggle to survive intense experiences, and the drive to fight all odds for freedom. There is so much that is great about this book and if I were pressed to come up with something not good about it - there would be only two things that I could come up with. The first would be toward the end of the book when their travels take them to little village after little village. This is the only time in the whole book where it gets semi-slow, as not much is happening. The second thing is the believability of some of the facts. Just a couple of times he says what was happening or how something happened, and you wonder if that is totally possible, considering a human's level of endurance. I do not doubt that the author remembers it like he tells it, but it's possible that he was in such traumatic situations that things seemed more extreme than they might have been. It is possible that the facts are all correct, but maybe the reader should give the author a little bit of leeway to tell it exactly as he remembers it, and maybe not exactly as it was. This happens in only a couple of select parts and it does not ruin the story at all. So other than those two things it is an incredible book. It is very easy to read and to keep up with what is going on, as you feel like you are traveling with them. It is an astonishing story and definitely worth reading.

Not as good as I thought it would be
Dec 6 2001
This review is from:
Honorable Estate (Hardcover)
A simple story about the early years of the newspaper business and a young man's experience within it. Not engrossing, or particularly well written, but a short simple account that is somewhat enjoyable.
This book may sound intriguing, and it is in a sense, but it is not intriguing throughout and ends up being only marginally enjoyable. It is neat to read an account of a young man's experience in the early years of newspapers, and nice to learn and see the differences between then and now. The problem with this book, however, is it is written as much for the author as it is for the reader, in trying to find meaning in why the author was drawn toward journalism and writing. The author simply tells of his experiences, hoping to find meaning by the end of the book. He does find some answers, but we aren't left with a full picture of the newspaper business back then or of his life. We are left with vignettes of his journalism career, which are nice, but they aren't written as well as you'd think they would be considering his profession was writing. The writing style is loose and simple, but there are many obnoxiously long sentences and he constantly digresses. Constantly. And then, every now and then, he starts throwing in a bunch of newspaper jargon which tends to confuse. Overall it is not that bad of a book, but it has its problems and those problems keep it from being a really good book.

The Ice Master: The Doomed 1913 Voyage of the Karluk (Hardcover)
This is a strong and well written account of the tragedy of the Karluk and it's men. We see and feel the struggle to cope and survive in the harsh environment of the Arctic. It is a good book, and makes a nice addition to Arctic adventure literature.
This is a wonderfully composed telling of the story of the Karluk. It is well written and nicely put together. The author draws from many different sources to give a full account of the story, including diaries and journals of the men, articles, books, newspaper clippings and interviews. The character development is superb - allowing us to really picture each person and their individual personalities. This is so important. The book centers around who these people were so that we can understand their actions and why tragedy befell them. Readers will be amazed at the strength and endurance of some men while being angered by the selfishness and ineptitude of others. The story is made richer by this, but the story is great on it's own. A ship-full of men surviving in terrible arctic conditions in desperate situations. Men struggling to travel to safety over torn-up ice and seemingly impassable ice walls and open leads of water between large ice floes. On top of this - the fight against starvation and disease. The beginning part of the book can seem semi-slow or boring if the reader is looking for adventure right away, but much of it sets up the story and develops characters so we get the full picture if the entire tragedy. Overall, though, it is a great book and will be enjoyed by anyone interested in Arctic adventure (sad though it may sometimes be).

Fatal Voyage: The Sinking of the USS Indianapolis (Paperback)
This book gives a good and very thorough telling of the tragic sinking of a Navy ship, during WWII, and the events surrounding it. Worth reading.
Among the many books that cover this incident, this is a very good one. The entire story is laid out nicely, from beginning to end. The author doesn't go into any part of the story extremely deeply, yet covers every aspect nicely. Readers may find themselves thirsting for more information in parts, if there is one particular part of the story they are most interested in. So the details of all that happens is not exhaustive (not as in depth as it possibly could be) but you get the whole story in exchange. Other books on this tragedy tend to dwell heavier on some aspects of the story than others, and therefore sacrifice telling all angles of the story. Readers, however, get the complete picture with this book. What they also get is an accurate, truthful account of the horror these men faced trying to get off a sinking ship, survive for days in the Pacific ocean and the struggle of life after such an terrifying event. The author does not make up dialogue or pretend to get inside the heads of the non-surviving men. He gives us direct quotes and true testimony. What the readers get is a fascinating true-life story of amazing survival under terrible circumstances. There are some slow parts but there is also riveting action and shocking incidents. This is an amazing story worth reading.

Ordeal by Sea: The Tragedy of the U.S.S. Indianapolis (Mass Market Paperback)
A compact yet good account of the sinking of a navy ship and the incredible struggle for survival of the remaining crew, left floating in the Pacific ocean for days.
This is one of many books written about the tragic sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis. It is a good version. It is well told and fairly well written. There are parts, however, where you feel the author could have told you more of the story, and other parts where he maybe should have said less. It flows well, though, and fully tells the story while also keeping the reader's attention. This ordeal gives us a great story set in WWII of what it's like to be on a ship that gets hit by multiple torpedoes and then the struggle to get off before it goes down. It shows the many facets of what men will experience and become if left simply floating out in the ocean without food or water for an extended period of time. It is an amazing story that leaves the reader with a true sense of what these men went through, and is well worth reading.

Test of Courage: The Michel Thomas Story (Hardcover)
Test of Courage is an amazing book about an incredible man. It is about a man living around the time of World War II, and his experiences of escaping from the grasp of the Germans and trying to bring them to justice, and about his life after the war's outcome. It is definitely worth reading.
This story, about a Jew named Michel Thomas, is a story of amazement, with events including prejudice, imprisonment, escapes, impersonations, lies, scandals, love and overall brilliance. It is at times surprising, shocking, upsetting and most of all intriguing. It tells of a life based and shaped within racism and war. Michel Thomas grows up in this life and is forced to adapt and find his own way. Born in Poland, as a very intelligent boy, he was on the move from a young age to escape the betrayal and danger that came with people's racial hatred of the Jews. The first half of the book is about what went on in his life from before World War II through to the end of the war. This includes the incredible stories of being captured and escaping, of worming his way out of difficult circumstances, and of underground forces fighting against German domination. The second half of the book is about life after the war, in which he hunts down German criminals of war, and traps and breaks up underground Nazi resistance still trying to exist after the war. This book will amaze readers and will leave them in awe of Michel Thomas and his experiences.

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Department of Energy has completed an unprecedented successful test of tapping the vast storehouse of methane hydrates on Alaska's North Slope, essentially natural gas locked in ice crystals under the permafrost.
It is still a long way from being commercial but the potential is huge.
The U.S. Geological Survey has estimated that the North Slope holds 590 trillion cubic feet of methane hydrate, potentially at least three times as much as the huge amount of conventional natural gas on the North Slope.
The Department of Energy said it also has the potential to eventually unlock massive reservoirs of methane hydrates that are believed to exist under the ocean floor of the Gulf of Mexico.
The Department of Energy conducted the small-scale test at Prudhoe Bay between Feb. 15 and April 10 and released the results Wednesday, saying it safely extracted a steady flow of natural gas. The department declared that "methane hydrates may exceed the energy content of all other fossil fuels combined; could ensure decades of affordable natural gas and cut America's foreign oil dependence." It's still in the research phase, though, and much more needs to be worked out before it's clear if the process is economically feasible.
"It's great news, certainly a reminder for all those who make fun of federal research that it does have value. But that is a long-term effort, we need to keep that in mind," said Larry Persily, the federal coordinator for a proposed natural gas pipeline project aimed at bringing Alaska's conventional gas to market.
The Department of Energy conducted the test with help from Conoco Phillips and the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp. The technology was developed in the lab by Conoco Phillips working with the University of Bergen in Norway.
"It's certainly exciting, it was a successful test," said Conoco Phillips spokeswoman Amy Burnett. "But we're still a long way off from getting commercial production."
The researchers injected a mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen into the hydrate formation, which took in the carbon dioxide and released the methane. They also lowered the pressure in the well to make the hydrate flow and get the gas out.
"We just completed the test, just plugged the well last week but we've got 30 days of production data which is considerably longer than any field test anyone in the world has ever done," said Christopher Smith, deputy assistant secretary for oil and natural gas. "We're headed back to the laboratory to analyze that and we're excited about the early results."
Smith said the process has potential for removing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide -- a major greenhouse gas and contributor to global warming -- as well as producing the natural gas.
The Department of Energy said the next step in its research effort will be testing gas hydrate production over longer periods, with the eventual goal of sustained production. It's offering $6.5 million in research grants and requesting $5 million from Congress for an additional testing effort.
The $5 million would be for more research on the North Slope, Smith said.
Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski called the successful Department of Energy test "wonderful news for Alaska and America," saying in a written statement that she sponsored legislation and approved money for the methane hydrate research. "If we can bring this technology to commercialization, it would truly be a game changer for America."

College and universities have always had mottos, usually expressed in Latin, that captured the essence of their missions -- truth, light, reason, and other words that drilled the purpose of education down to its essence.

This week, millions of young people head to college and universities, aiming for a four-year liberal arts degree. They assume that degree is the only gateway to the American middle class. It shouldn't be.
With ever decreasing government support for young startups, education and creative projects -- now, more than ever before, there is a need for the 2210 Foundation -- a charity for young men and women aged between 18 and 30, who are embarking on their first business.

I love playing poker - Poke-her - Geddit?
Reviewed: 11 August 2014 by OUCH! Thank you ;), a Straight Married Female
My OH loves to gamble and while roulette is his favourite, he enjoys poker too. When I handed him the Poker for Lovers game, well - his reaction is right there in the title. He's such a guy. ;)
I'll admit, I can play snap and solitaire and that's about it, but was prepared to sit down and learn to play poker. Looking through the chips, there's plenty of incentive to do so!
The OH promised faithfully he'd go easy on me until I learned the basics, but as it turns out, he's a bloody liar. We played and I lost. Repeatedly, until I had not one solitary chip (or item of clothing) to my name. But I love to give as much as I love to receive and we had a lot of fun with his winnings, and one or two consolation prizes thrown in for me.
The cards are also pretty useful for other games too, though I mostly lose those as well. I especially like to play snap (which we bastardised into slap) as I have faster reflexes so I often WIN!
All in all, this is a hugely fun, excitingly frustrating game, and while it's a little on the pricey side for what it is, I'd happily recommend it and so would my husband.
- Pros
- An exciting game with a good range of 'prizes'.
- Cons
- A teensy bit pricey.
- Bottom line
- A fun product with multiple uses.

Really good - keep your poker face
Reviewed: 07 April 2014 by villagecpl, a Straight Engaged Male
This is a good way to bring together poker and sex!
We have all thought about strip poker, but this is a whole new level. :D
It's great to go all in... and win!
Some of them are really good to get the body going.
Even if you can't play poker, this is good to play blackjack or any card game.
- Pros
- Good chips.
- Cons
- Needs more chips with more things to do.
- Bottom line
- Very good game.

Sexy poker
Reviewed: 14 October 2013 by CVR92, a Straight Going Steady Female
My boyfriend LOVES to play poker, he plays in tournaments in casinos and online etc. So this was a perfect buy for his birthday present... The only problems is I can never beat him, so he gets all the fun :( Hopefully I will improve with practice!
The packaging is lovely, it's all packed up neat inside. The chips are also good quality! The rewards are great, it's a good incentive to the game, making it more adventurous!
This is a great buy and a lot of fun. The cards and dice can also be used for other game, which is a bonus! I can't wait to play it again and again!
- Pros
- The packaging, the rewards!
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great value and so much fun! :)

2001 Audi A6 Quattro Reviews
At 54k the Quattro needed to be completely replaced (had to fight Audi to get some help with the $12K bill). Now with 130k, the Quattro is again showing signs of a problem. Local shop seems at a loss for what to do next. Engine, suspension & steering, interior are all AWESOME. Still tight as new and not a single squeak. Brakes are overly dusty and exhaust needed replacing at about 120k.

Why Join a National Fraternity or Sorority at JCU?
Throughout the college experience at John Carroll University, the friendships that our members make within their chapters lasts a lifetime. Whether you come to college not knowing a single person or you come with friends, the opportunity to be a part of a national fraternity or sorority can transcend your JCU college experience.
By becoming a member of the fraternity and sorority community, you will gain a "home away from home." You will have the opportunity to meet other students with different backgrounds, similar interests, and new perspectives. Some of the brotherhood and sisterhood activities range from all-chapter retreats and meetings to getting together at different sporting events.
Older members encourage you and foster your growth as an individual and as a chapter member. You will support each other through day-to-day challenges and share your favorite memories. Every chapter has an alumni network to assist adjusting to new communities, finding employment, or just to offer personal friendship based on common experiences in your organization.
In addition to the sisterhood and brotherhood opportunities for students involved in fraternity and sorority life, there are many other benefits as well.

"Commonly referred to as "ban the box," the efforts would prohibit employers from asking job applicants about their criminal histories until the applicant has secured an interview. After that point, employers would be allowed to broach the subject."
What do you think? Should employers have to stop asking about prior arrests/convictions on applications? Is it fair that former criminals who want to work have to disclose their history up front?

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Good signal outside, but very little insideWas this review helpful to you?
Coverage around my apartment is BAD BAD There is really nothing else to sayWas this review helpful to you?
T-Mobile is Terrible in Green Bay ! Go north of the city only 5 miles and you get Zero Bars.. Nada! T-Mobile NEEDS to add towers in and around Green Bay and north to Marinette. Back to ATT for me and the neighborsWas this review helpful to you?
I chose to have a cell phone instead of a land line I guess I made a huge mistake because it seems that I get zero reception at my house whatsoever! This is extremely frustrating when trying to run a business, make appointments, call my kids school etc...Was this review helpful to you?
T-Mobile just does not work at UWGB in Green Bay. Inside de buildings you don't have signal. 3G or 4G? Forget it, sometimes an E sign appears on my iPhone...Was this review helpful to you?
Moto G great. Good battery life with light use. Best Buy great. Verizon prepaid awful. I get better service voice only on my 8 yr old Motorola w371 flip phone. Verizon 1-2 bars my living room west Mason Oneida area.. Calls faded in and out, but the few I made didn't drop. Frequently 1X data speeds on 3G phone, some web pages timed out. Email from business consultants so some graphics / pics. Web pages mostly business professional association stuff. Downloaded some mostly text with light graphic PDFs, again all business stuff. Sometimes just put phone down and let it load for few minutes. Mostly quite slow. Web searches of other carriers even slower. Drove Western Ave to Larsen rd to NWTC, stopping every few blocks to pick up phone from car seat and check signal strength. Mostly 1 bar, 5 bars under tower near Walmart West. About block away, 1 bar again all the way out to and in NWTC. 5 bars under towers at GB airport. Took phone back to best buy on 13th day. Lost half $45 plan month just to get out of it all. 2nd time Verizon has sucked. Bought iPad 3 when first came out. 4g, except when I started using it at NWTC on plan it was 3G even though Verizon said 4g here. Took it back. $35 restocking fee. Bought refurb iPad 2 works great on wifi, but haven't yet tried ATtT on it in 2 yrs. Friends at NWTC said no ATT in NWTC library, but great with Verizon and US Cellular. Then 1 said it was difference between 3 and 4 G. Am so FED UP. Am staying with Tracfone for now. Will maybe test ATT on iPad before I buy anything again.Was this review helpful to you?
T Mobile sells phones in Green Bay and has a few towers on the west side but have said they have no plans for adding towers on the east side. I have 1 bar at best outside and a cell-fi repeater they supplied inside my house for service. After working with them to address the service they recommend changing carriers because they have no fix for it now or planned for the future. Why sell phones where there is no infrastructure to support it? I used to roam on AT&T or Einstein here and service was great but they no longer use them in this area, only where they have no towers. I have been with them for 10 yrs and had great service for almost 8 yrs but I am changing carrier now.Was this review helpful to you?
US Cellular
For the most part, I've had positive feelings about US Cellular. Good reception(no dropped calls) and they finally have 4G here. But now they are dropping some of its benefits. No more free batteries and their plans are more expensive. Also you can only use your points to upgrade a device for a maximum of 4 months.Was this review helpful to you?
Data speeds are terrible when Im not home on wifi. Lately it takes 3 or more tries to send text messages. Sprint is frustrating at best and just plain terrible at worst.Was this review helpful to you?
Horrible Data and Phone reception even with a cell repeater. With so many Verizon Stores in Green Bay you would think I would be the number one service to go with, not true... College Students beware that if you are with Verizon, chances are you will hate there service by the time the first day of school ends, especially if you live on or close to campusWas this review helpful to you?

See the world through a looking glass
and let hope die a petifull death
We are mere spots on a petri-dish
as we rush through life mourning all we can't have
We live in a world of lies
So sick of all the sadness
The echoes of our truth
and remainder of the days
We are bound to live and die
Stuck to our moral conscious
The battle never lost
between our heart and mind
Science liberates
in this ever changing world
But the magic fades away
Now nothing seems
As it was ment to be
Gods that never were
Fell to their vanity
Seek out to touch
the fraction of a dream
or we can close our minds
and never we'll be free
As we seek to reach out
we close ourselves in
Numb everything with reason
succomb to your own doctrine
We live amongst millions
that never have the time
To see another person
They'll pass you while you die
One man an island
as we seek out and destroy
All life that remains
So sick of all your reason
So tired of your lies
This is the death of beauty
As the romance dies
Seek out the answers to time-old riddles
as we are smothered by our own truth
Hiding behind your digital reflection
You cowards the joke is on you

Hi. We have 2 kids, age 8 and 10. We are very casual, recreational family cyclists... We'll go out maybe a 12-20 times this summer for 5-10 mile trips on mostly paved bike trails.
We can't afford higher-end bikes, especially since the kids will outgrow them in a couple of years (if we're lucky). So the big question is ---
Are we making a mistake by buying the $120 bike at Target or Toys R Us?
Are there any particular brands you specifically recommend to get, or to avoid?

baking cookies on multiple shelves at the same time in the convection oven has been a real time saver. The grates are very heavy and not all that convenient to remove to clean every day. Is there some other material that could be used so every splash and spill did not show and you could use more than vinegar and water to clean???

The profile was more to my liking as my previous stoves were. Unable to get it in white so I had to settle for this stove. The screening on door to dark. You are not able to see if things are browning. Stove ok as a starter if you have never worked with convection before. Nice size oven.

Excellent Design and Style

A very functional and stylish slide in range. Every feature a range should have is in this model and it is very easy to keep clean.
Great product

from Tennessee, United States
Easy to use. Works great. Love the looks and color
Great Oven
By Thomas101213
from Severn, MD, United States
Cooks great. Need to adjust oven temperature for dark pans and use lower end of time range or food will burn. Grates allow a lot of cooking space, however, heavy and bulky which makes cleaning a challenge sometimes.
Great performance; easy to clean
By Jklaw0402
from Madison, WI, United States
My contractor recommended this product. The convection features cut significant cooking time and the "rapid boil" burner is great for those big pots of soup or boiling water for pasta. The removable parts of each burner make the stovetop a breeze to clean.
By Lillee
from Ohio, United States
Have not had a gas range in many years and enjoy cooking with gas again. It matches the rest of the kitchen appliances in slate.
Awesome Appliance

Love it!
By Paula C

Bought it about a month ago and I love it! Great features and love the slate color!
Sleek and classic styling
By Dakota13
from St. Louis County, MO, United States
I bought this a month ago and just recently had it installed. I love the professional look of the range and the many cooking options. The number of burners and placement are perfect. I love how low the flame can go for those recipes that require little heating. The convection is wonderful and everything I have baked has come out beautiful!.

Great Product
By scotti83
from Illinois
We have only been using this range a few days but so far it has me our expectations. Purchased the slate model because we didn't want stainless. The color is great! It is well built. Unlike our previous ovens, opening the door on this one feels like you are doing something, with a very solid feel. Expect to get many years of enjoyable cooking out of this.

Master Surya Girish and Master Siddharth M Joy of Chinmaya Vidyalaya here were the winners of the all India Inter-school Quiz arranged by the Reserve Bank of India (RBIQ).
RBIQ is an initiative of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) towards spreading awareness about financial matters, especially among children so that they themselves becoming financially responsible citizens in the future, a RBI press release said today.
Master Tanmay Kakati and Master Shreyas Sarkar of Maharishi Vidyamandir Public School of Guwahati were the runners up.
Children who participated in RBIQ could inspire their elders in the habit of savings and banking and other matters of finance.
While giving away the prizes to the winners, RBI Governor Dr D Subbarao said he was 'humbled at the amazing range of information and knowledge that the participants displayed in answering the questions related to banking, finance and India'.
The Governor also said that he was delighted to see the excitement and the enthusiasm that RBIQ generated all over the country - from Jaipur to Visakhapatnam, Imphal to Vadodara, Kochi to Dehra Dun and Jammu to Patna.
Deputy Governors and Executive Directors of the Reserve Bank as well as Chief Executives of a few public sector banks also attended the event.

One unanswered question is if the involved people actually fit the stereotypes. The bigger question is: the role of media is to portray reality or foster change?
Where did this data show that "women aren't...interested in computer science"? This data suggests women aren't included in, recruited to, trained in or hired in computer science roles, compared to some male counterparts but it doesn't reflect interest.
if you could be turned off by some news article about some physical or personality traits of people working in certain fields so much that you decided against making a career out of it, you probably don't really have much interests in it anyway and have no business majoring in it either.
The "hostile work environment and the additional responsibilities of motherhood" has no relation with the Computer Science proffession, You have this everywhere.
And the article does not specify why this situation is present worldwide despite of the cultural and social differences between countries.
The article states that computer science isn't part of the high school curriculum. Well, there's only so many hours in a day, right? Or school year, as the case may be.
I graduated high school in the early 70s. Even way back then, I was learning to code in BASIC during my HS math classes. Whether or not it was part of a district-approved syllabus I have no idea. But my teacher took it upon herself to teach us BASIC programming, and all of us (even the 50% of the class that were girls) really enjoyed it. I didn't go into Comp. Sci. as a career, but I did major in physics and go into an engineering-related field as a career (altho I'm not a woman).
If we could do that much way back in the 70s, what is stopping schools from doing the same today? Is C++ that much harder to teach & learn than BASIC?
Most girls I know find this computer stuff incredibly boring! The boys do it just to be competitive in that field when they can't excel elsewhere. I believe that some things are basic to our DNA and that women and men just aren't the same so you'd expect there to be some statistically significant differences across all societies and cultures in what women and men like to do professionally. This does not excuse in any way the gross prejudice against women experienced in countries such as Afghanistan, Northern India, Saudi Arabia, etc. where women are artificially constrained in their aspirations.

Underactive Thyroid Not Linked to Memory Problems
Latest Thyroid News
MONDAY, Dec. 30, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Hypothyroidism, a condition that causes low or no thyroid hormone production, is not linked to mild dementia or impaired brain function, a new study suggests.
Although more research is needed, the scientists said their findings add to mounting evidence that the thyroid gland disorder is not tied to the memory and thinking problems known as "mild cognitive impairment."
Some prior evidence has suggested that changes in the body's endocrine system, including thyroid function, might be linked to Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, said researchers led by Dr. Ajay Parsaik, of the University of Texas Medical School in Houston.
Mild cognitive impairment, in particular, is thought to be an early warning sign of the memory-robbing disorder Alzheimer's disease, the study authors said in a university news release.
In conducting the study, Parsaik's team examined a group of more than 1,900 people, including those with mild and more severe cases of hypothyroidism. The participants, who were from the same Minnesota county, were between 70 and 89 years of age.
The study showed that memory and thinking problems occurred at about the same rate regardless of thyroid function. Impairments in brain function occurred in 16 percent of participants with normal thyroid function, 17 percent of patients with more severe hypothyroidism and 18 percent of people with mild hypothyroidism.
No association between hypothyroidism and mild brain impairment was found, the researchers said, even after they took into account the participants' age, gender, body-mass index (a measurement of body fat based on height and weight) and other health problems.
One expert said the final word on this issue might still be yet to come, however.
Dr. Spyros Mezitis, an endocrinologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, said the study had a "robust" design. But because the results conflict with those of prior studies, they "need to be validated in research in separate settings" and with a trial that follows patients over time.
"The practicing physician should continue testing thyroid function in the setting of [memory and thinking] decline and treating clinical hypothyroidism," Mezitis said.
The study was published online Dec. 30 in the journal JAMA Neurology.

Awesome Infographic Shows Benefits of Sustainable Transport
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So what about an infographic?
Information graphics, or infographics, recently emerged as a highly popular and effective medium for visualizing and sharing information. According to visual.ly, a website that helps users tell their stories visually, an infographic is: data, sorted, arranged, and presented visually. In other words, an infographic is a visual image used to convey information.
Infographics are powerful. Why? Mark Smiciklas, a digital strategist and consultant, offers three simple explanations: Infographics are easy to digest, easy to share, and cool. Further, the range of information infographics can convey is literally infinite – infographics even come in handy to explain sustainable transport.
For today's Friday Fun, here are a few great infographics courtesy of the Cities Collective, a partnership between Future Cape Town and Urban Times.
These infographics highlight the many co-benefits of sustainable transport – which are so numerous that when you focus on just one it's easy to lose sight of the others. From increasing access to economic opportunities like jobs and markets, improving road safety, reducing traffic congestion and passenger travel time, mitigating vehicle emissions that contribute to climate change, and making our cities healthier and more livable, there's a lot to keep in mind. The bottom line is that alternatives to private vehicles – like public transport, walking, and bicycling – can be safer, more effective, healthier for you and the environment, and fun. As a reader of TheCityFix, I bet you didn't need an infographic to tell you that. Enjoy!
