Autumn 1944. World War II is nearly over in Europe but is escalating in the Pacific, where American soldiers face an opponent who will go to any length to avoid defeat. The Japanese army follows the samurai code of Bushido, stipulating that surrender is a form of dishonor. Killing the Rising Sun takes listeners to the bloody tropical-island battlefields of Peleliu and Iwo Jima and to the embattled Philippines, where General Douglas MacArthur has made a triumphant return and is plotting a full-scale invasion of Japan.
"Excellent work!!"
Far from being a time of darkness, the Middle Ages was an essential period in the grand narrative of Western history. But what was it like to actually live in those extraordinary times? Now you can find out.These 36 lectures provide a different perspective on the society and culture of the Middle Ages: one that entrenches you in the daily human experience of living during this underappreciated era.
"Excellent introduction to Medieval History!"
This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.
"An Historic Achievement"
Eating is an indispensable human activity. As a result, whether we realize it or not, the drive to obtain food has been a major catalyst across all of history, from prehistoric times to the present. Epicure Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin said it best: "Gastronomy governs the whole life of man."
"One of my top 3 favorite courses!"
"This is your country, this is your world, this is your body, and you must find some way to live within the all of it." In a profound work that pivots from the biggest questions about American history and ideals to the most intimate concerns of a father for his son, Ta-Nehisi Coates offers a powerful new framework for understanding our nation's history and current crisis. Americans have built an empire on the idea of "race", a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men.
"A Heartfelt Self-aware Literary Masterpiece"
Daniel James Brown's robust book tells the story of the University of Washington's 1936 eight-oar crew and their epic quest for an Olympic gold medal, a team that transformed the sport and grabbed the attention of millions of Americans. The sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the boys defeated elite rivals first from eastern and British universities and finally the German crew rowing for Adolf Hitler in the Olympic games in Berlin, 1936.
"Do you believe in miracles??"
In August 1776, a little over a month after the Continental Congress had formally declared independence from Britain, the revolution was on the verge of a sudden and disastrous end. General George Washington found his troops outmanned and outmaneuvered at the Battle of Brooklyn, and it looked like there was no escape. But thanks to a series of desperate rear-guard attacks by a single heroic regiment, famously known as the Immortal 400, Washington was able to evacuate his men, and the nascent Continental Army lived to fight another day.
"Groundbreaking masterpiece on American Revolution"
Here, anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: He shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods - that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors.
"Transformative to the point of being revolutionary"
A classic since its original landmark publication in 1980, Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States is the first scholarly work to tell America's story from the bottom up - from the point of view of, and in the words of, America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers.
"Amateur hour in the production booth"
Based on four years of intensive primary document research, Lawrence in Arabiadefinitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle East was formed. Sweeping in its action, keen in its portraiture, acid in its condemnation of the destruction wrought by European colonial plots, this is a book that brilliantly captures the way in which the folly of the past creates the anguish of the present.
"A Middle East Built on Lies"
In a thrilling narrative showcasing his gifts as storyteller and researcher, Erik Larson recounts the spellbinding tale of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. Also available abridged.
"A Rich Read!"
At age 24 Winston Churchill was utterly convinced it was his destiny to become prime minister of England one day, despite the fact he had just lost his first election campaign for Parliament. He believed that to achieve his goal, he had to do something spectacular on the battlefield. Despite deliberately putting himself in extreme danger as a British army officer in colonial wars in India and Sudan and as a journalist covering a Cuban uprising against the Spanish, glory and fame had eluded him.
"Far More Than Simply, Hero of the Empire!"
In this riveting landmark autobiography, which reads like a novel, Academy Award and Emmy winner Louis Gossett, Jr., masterfully transports us to 1840s New York; Washington, D.C.; and Louisiana to experience the kidnapping and 12 years of bondage of Solomon Northup, a free man of color. Twelve Years a Slave, published in 1853, was an immediate bombshell in the national debate over slavery leading up to the Civil War.
"I've waited for this a long time"
A stunning look at World War II from the other side.... From the turret of a German tank, Colonel Hans von Luck commanded Rommel's 7th and then 21st Panzer Division. El Alamein, Kasserine Pass, Poland, Belgium, Normandy on D-Day, the disastrous Russian front - von Luck fought there with some of the best soldiers in the world. German soldiers. Awarded the German Cross in Gold and the Knight's Cross, von Luck writes as an officer and a gentleman.
"A compelling look into WW2 from the "other" side"
Bill Bryson has been an enormously popular author both for his travel books and for his books on the English language. Now, this beloved comic genius turns his attention to science. Although he doesn't know anything about the subject (at first), he is eager to learn, and takes information that he gets from the world's leading experts and explains it to us in a way that makes it exciting and relevant.
"Very informative, fun to listen to"
Most of us have a limited understanding of the powerful role economics has played in shaping human civilization. This makes economic history - the study of how civilizations structured their environments to provide food, shelter, and material goods - a vital lens through which to think about how we arrived at our present, globalized moment. Designed to fill a long-empty gap in how we think about modern history, these 48 lectures are a comprehensive journey through more than 600 years of economic history.
"Wish I'd Taken This Class As an Undergrad!"
The rise to global predominance of Western civilization is the single most important historical phenomenon of the past five hundred years. All over the world, an astonishing proportion of people now work for Western-style companies, study at Western-style universities, vote for Western-style governments, take Western medicines, wear Western clothes, and even work Western hours. Yet six hundred years ago the petty kingdoms of Western Europe seemed unlikely to achieve much more than perpetual internecine warfare. It was Ming China or Ottoman Turkey that had the look of world civilizations.
"Niall Ferguson's Most Enjoyable Book"
In White Trash, Nancy Isenberg upends assumptions about America's supposedly class-free society. Poor whites were central to the rise of the Republican Party in the early 19th century, and the Civil War itself was fought over class issues nearly as much as it was fought over slavery. Reconstruction pitted poor white trash against newly freed slaves, which factored in the rise of eugenics. These poor were at the heart of New Deal reforms and LBJ's Great Society; they haunt us in reality TV shows like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Duck Dynasty.
"Wowed by Truth"
The Passage of Power follows Lyndon Johnson through both the most frustrating and the most triumphant periods of his career - 1958 to 1964. It is a time that would see him trade the extraordinary power he had created for himself as Senate Majority Leader for what became the wretched powerlessness of a Vice President in an administration that disdained and distrusted him. Yet it was, as well, the time in which the presidency, the goal he had always pursued, would be thrust upon him in the moment it took an assassin's bullet to reach its mark.
"From Powerful to Powerless"
Why we think it's a great listen: Seabiscuit was a runaway success, and Hillenbrand's done it again with another true-life account about beating unbelievable odds. On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared.....
The way we communicate has changed. Today many of our interactions are digital, but until recently writing letters was the norm. Drawing from over 100 miles of records held at the UK's official government archive, The National Archives at Kew, this collection of letters, postcards and telegrams will shine a spotlight on a range of significant historical moments and occurrences, recapturing a lost world in which correspondence was king.
Welcome to Today in History, your daily time capsule to historical happenings by the Associated Press. Featuring multiple moments from years past, Today in History brings you back in time to the world's most impactful events.
Lev Davidovich Trotsky burst onto the world stage in November 1917 as coleader of a Marxist Revolution seizing power in Russia. It made him one of the most recognized personalities of the 20th century, a global icon of radical change. Yet just months earlier, this same Lev Trotsky was a nobody, a refugee expelled from Europe, writing obscure pamphlets and speeches, barely noticed outside a small circle of fellow travelers. Where had he come from to topple Russia and change the world? Where else? New York.
This is a summary of Mitchell Zuckoff's 13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi, the harrowing, true account from the brave men on the ground who fought back during the Battle of Benghazi.
The Romanovs were the most successful dynasty of modern times, ruling a sixth of the world's surface for three centuries. How did one family turn a war-ruined principality into the world's greatest empire? And how did they lose it all? This is the intimate story of 20 tsars and tsarinas, some touched by genius, some by madness, but all inspired by holy autocracy and imperial ambition.
For Murray Rothbard, libertarianism wasn't an intellectual parlor game, nor was it a personal affectation: for him, it was a banner that was meant to be carried into battle. Ever the happy warrior, he sought to bring the radical libertarian perspective to bear on the events of the day, and it was a task he delighted in. From 1967 thru 1968, Rothbard churned out 58 columns for the Freedom Newspapers.
Ten Restaurants That Changed America reveals how the history of our restaurants reflects nothing less than the history of America itself. Whether charting the rise of our love affair with Chinese food through San Francisco's the Mandarin, evoking the richness of Italian food through Mamma Leone's, or chronicling French haute cuisine through Henri Soulé's Le Pavillon, Paul Freedman uses each restaurant to tell a story of race and class, immigration and assimilation.
Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.
In the summer of 1941, at the height of the war in the Western Desert, a bored and eccentric young officer, David Stirling, came up with a plan that was imaginative, radical and entirely against the rules: a small undercover unit that would wreak havoc behind enemy lines. Despite intense opposition, Winston Churchill personally gave Stirling permission to recruit the most ruthless soldiers he could find. So began the most celebrated and mysterious military organisation in the world: the SAS.
Combining impeccable scholarship and literary elegance, David Wetzel depicts the drama of machinations and passions that exploded in a war that forever changed the face of European history.
When American archaeologists discovered a collection of cuneiform tablets in Iraq in the late 19th century, they were confronted with a language and a people who were at the time only scarcely known to even the most knowledgeable scholars of ancient Mesopotamia: the Sumerians.
The historians showcased in American History Now developed new approaches to scholarship to revise the prevailing interpretations of the chronological periods from the colonial era to the Reagan years. Covering the subfields of women's history, African American history, and immigration history, the book also considers the history of capitalism, Native American history, environmental history, religious history, cultural history, and the history of the United States in the world.
Individuals who decide to take up learning about the Old Testament of the Bible are immediately faced with the difficult proposition of identifying the various peoples that the Hebrews met and sometimes came into conflict with when they entered the territory that eventually became Israel.
The descendent of Viking raiders, William the Conqueror, or William the Bastard as he was also known, took the throne of England in 1066. William showed himself to be an outstanding soldier and an extremely effective ruler, combining great fortitude with an unwavering insistence on his own authority. He was a formidable personality, whose political imagination and ruthlessness were the driving forces of the Norman Conquest of England.
The idea of engineering has been present since prehistoric times when humans started shaping important creations like the lever, wheel and pulley. Every invention is described with the contemporary explanation of basic engineering principles of mechanics.
Proud Xerxes, Emperor of Persia and King of Kings, invades Greece with a million soldiers. He commands thousands of ships and is supported by dozens of allies, among them the charming Queen Artemisia. At Thermopylae, a rocky mountain pass in northern Greece, the feared and admired Spartan soldiers stood 300 strong. Theirs was a suicide mission, to hold the pass against the invading millions of the mighty Persian army.
In the tradition of Ben MacIntyre, Game of Spies tells the story of a lethal spy triangle in Bordeaux between 1942 and 1944 - and of France's greatest betrayal, by aristocratic and right-wing Resistance leader Andre Grandclement. The story centres on three men - one British, one French and one German - and the duel they fought out in an atmosphere of collaboration, betrayal and assassination, in which comrades sold fellow comrades, Allied agents and downed pilots to the Germans as casually as they would a bottle of wine.
McCullough's John Adams has the sweep and vitality of a great novel. This is history on a grand scale, an audiobook about politics, war, and social issues, but also about human nature, love, religious faith, virtue, ambition, friendship, and betrayal, and the far-reaching consequences of noble ideas. Above all, it is an enthralling, often surprising story of one of the most important and fascinating Americans who ever lived.
"An outstanding biography"
On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry. Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war.
"Beautiful, Heartbreaking, and Informative"
More than a million listeners have thrilled to Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln, the can't-stop-listening work of nonfiction about the shocking assassination that changed the course of American history. Now the anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts in gripping detail the brutal murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy—and how a sequence of gunshots on a Dallas afternoon not only killed a beloved president but also sent the nation into the cataclysmic division of the Vietnam War and its culture-changing aftermath.
"Nothing of Substance New"
Benjamin Franklin is the founding father who winks at us - an ambitious urban entrepreneur who rose up the social ladder, from leather-aproned shopkeeper to dining with kings. In best-selling author Walter Isaacson's vivid and witty full-scale biography, we discover why Franklin turns to us from history's stage with eyes that twinkle from behind his new-fangled spectacles. In Benjamin Franklin, Isaacson shows how Franklin defines both his own time and ours. The most interesting thing that Franklin invented, and continually reinvented, was himself.
"My kinda founding father...mostly..."
At the height of World War II, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, was home to 75,000 residents, consuming more electricity than New York City. But to most of the world, the town did not exist. Thousands of civilians - many of them young women from small towns across the South - were recruited to this secret city, enticed by solid wages and the promise of war-ending work. Kept very much in the dark, few would ever guess the true nature of the tasks they performed each day in the hulking factories in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains.
"Important story of this secret city"
Why we think it's a great listen: If you ever thought history was boring, David McCullough's performance of his fascinating book will change your mind.

"Amazing how little you know"
In Washington: A Life celebrated biographer Ron Chernow provides a richly nuanced portrait of the father of our nation.

"Everything You Need to Know about US History"
In this magnificent biography, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Lion and Franklin and Winston brings vividly to life an extraordinary man and his remarkable times. Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power gives us Jefferson the politician and president, a great and complex human being forever engaged in the wars of his era. Philosophers think; politicians maneuver. Jefferson's genius was that he was both and could do both, often simultaneously. Such is the art of power.
"A Man and Biography Relevant to Our Day"
This is the story of the rise to national power of a desperately poor young man from the Texas Hill Country. The Path to Power reveals in extraordinary detail the genesis of the almost superhuman drive, energy, and ambition that set LBJ apart. It follows him from the Hill Country to New Deal Washington, from his boyhood through the years of the Depression to his debut as Congressman, his heartbreaking defeat in his first race for the Senate, and his attainment, nonetheless, at age 31, of the national power for which he hungered.
"The Best of all Biographies"
He was a husband, a father, a preacher - and the preeminent leader of a movement that continues to transform America and the world. Now, in a special program commissioned and authorized by his family, here is the life and times of Martin Luther King, Jr. Featuring King's I Have a Dream Speech.
"A Fascinating Slice of History"
This is a sweeping narrative history of the events leading to 9/11, a groundbreaking look at the people and ideas, the terrorist plans, and the Western intelligence failures that culminated in the assault on America. Lawrence Wright's remarkable book is based on five years of research and hundreds of interviews that he conducted in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sudan, England, France, Germany, Spain, and the United States.
"Riveting... Sobering... Chilling..."
One of the most admired nonfiction writers of our time retells the story of one truly fabulous year in the life of his native country - a fascinating and gripping narrative featuring such outsized American heroes as Charles Lindbergh, Babe Ruth, and yes Herbert Hoover, and a gallery of criminals (Al Capone), eccentrics (Shipwreck Kelly), and close-mouthed politicians (Calvin Coolidge). It was the year Americans attempted and accomplished outsized things and came of age in a big, brawling manner. What a country. What a summer. And what a writer to bring it all so vividly alive.
"Why 1927?"
In this epic, beautifully written masterwork, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Isabel Wilkerson chronicles one of the great untold stories of American history: the decades-long migration of black citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities in search of a better life. From 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America. Wilkerson interviewed more than a thousand people, and gained access to previously untapped data and official records, to write this definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American journeys unfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves.
"Superior non-fiction"
The anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts one of the most dramatic stories in American history—how one gunshot changed the country forever. In the spring of 1865, the bloody saga of America's Civil War finally comes to an end after a series of increasingly harrowing battles. President Abraham Lincoln's generous terms for Robert E. Lee's surrender are devised to fulfill Lincoln's dream of healing a divided nation. But one man and his band of murderous accomplices are not appeased....

"A Unique Take on History"
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu.

"Aidan Gillen needs to narrate more books"
On August 5, 1942, giant pillars of dust rose over the Russian steppe, marking the advance of the 6th Army, an elite German combat unit dispatched by Hitler to capture the industrial city of Stalingrad and press on to the oil fields of Azerbaijan.

German soldiers hoped to complete their mission and be home in time for Christmas.

"Valuable coverage of ancient earth human history"
A survey of the quirks and quandaries of the English language, focusing on our strange and wonderful grammar. Why do we say "I am reading a catalog" instead of "I read a catalog"?

Delving into these provocative topics and more, Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue distills hundreds of years of fascinating lore into one lively history.
"Great for casual linguists"
Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the 20th century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers. What motivated Manson in his seemingly mindless selection of victims, and what was his hold over the young women who obeyed his orders? Now available for the first time in unabridged audio, the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime is brought to life by acclaimed narrator Scott Brick.
"Everything I remembered about the case was wrong.."

"It's a Wonder We Left the Dark Ages"

"This is the second audio book of Sledge's work"
Almost all accounts of D-Day are told from the Allied perspective, with the emphasis on how German resistance was overcome on June 6, 1944. But what was it like to be a German soldier in the bunkers and gun emplacements of the Normandy coast, facing the onslaught of the mightiest seaborne invasion in history? What motivated the German defenders, what were their thought processes - and how did they fight from one strong point to another, among the dunes and fields, on that first cataclysmic day?
"A set of honest and frank accounts "
The definitive account of the O. J. Simpson trial, The Run of His Life is a prodigious feat of reporting that could have been written only by the foremost legal journalist of our time. First published less than a year after the infamous verdict, Jeffrey Toobin's nonfiction masterpiece tells the whole story, from the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman to the ruthless gamesmanship behind the scenes of "the trial of the century".
"I wanted more after the 2016 mini-series..."
Virtually all human societies were once organized tribally, yet over time most developed new political institutions which included a central state that could keep the peace and uniform laws that applied to all citizens. Some went on to create governments that were accountable to their constituents. We take these institutions for granted, but they are absent or are unable to perform in many of today's developing countries—with often disastrous consequences for the rest of the world.
"Best Summary of Political History I've Read"
In this groundbreaking historical expose, Douglas A. Blackmon brings to light one of the most shameful chapters in American history - an Age of Neoslavery that thrived from the aftermath of the Civil War through the dawn of World War II.
"Steel Yourself"
Beginning in the heady days just after the First Crusade, this volume - the third in the series that began with The History of the Ancient World and The History of the Medieval World - chronicles the contradictions of a world in transition. Impressively researched and brilliantly told, The History of the Renaissance World offers not just the names, dates, and facts but the memorable characters who illuminate the years between 1100 and 1453 - years that marked a sea change in mankind's perception of the world.
"Almost Great"
In a ranch south of Texas, the man known as The Executioner dumps 500 body parts in metal barrels. In Brazil's biggest city, a mysterious prisoner orders hit men to gun down 41 police officers and prison guards in two days. In Southern Mexico a meth maker is venerated as a saint while enforcing Old Testament justice on his enemies. A new kind of criminal kingpin has arisen: part CEO, part terrorist, and part rock star, unleashing guerrilla attacks, strong-arming governments, and taking over much of the world's trade in narcotics, guns, and humans.
"Eye opener"
A mind-expanding and myth-destroying exploration of notions of white race—not merely a skin color but also a signal of power, prestige, and beauty to be withheld and granted selectively. Ever since the Enlightenment, race theory and its inevitable partner, racism, have followed a crooked road, constructed by dominant peoples to justify their domination of others. Filling a huge gap in historical literature that long focused on the non-white, eminent historian Nell Irvin Painter guides us through more than two thousand years of Western civilization, tracing not only the invention of the idea of race but also the frequent worship of "whiteness" for economic, social, scientific, and political ends.
"Destroys the myth that race is about skin color"
The celebrated 2010 HBO miniseries The Pacific, winner of eight Emmy Awards, was based on two classic books about the War in the Pacific, Helmet for My Pillow and With The Old Breed. Audible Studios, in partnership with Playtone, the production company co-owned by Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, and creator of the award-winning HBO series Band of Brothers, John Adams, and The Pacific, as well as the HBO movie Game Change, has created new recordings of these memoirs, narrated by the stars of the miniseries.

Servus is an orchestra devoted to playing gypsy music since its foundation in 1987. On their play list are tunes from Hungary and Rumania, to which they added some compositions of their own, and some Russian, Yiddish and Yugoslav songs. In the countries of its origin this music is traditionally being played in restaurants and at parties.
The musicians of Servus come from members of the student gypsy orchestras at Utrecht, Delft and Wageningen University, who did not want to give up playing after their graduation. Blending the three cultures proved very successful. Over the years Servus started playing with the Rumanian singer Elena Zamfira and the violinist Nello Mirando.

Verfremdungseffekt (German Verfremdung = making strange something that is known or familiar) is commonly, if not very accurately, translated as "alienation effect". Perhaps more appropriate, although less frequently encountered, are the translations "distancing" or "estrangement effect". Verfremdungseffekt applies to the function of any theatrical device or technique designed to dispel the audience's notion that "reality" is directly represented or enacted on stage. Verfremdung creates an "estranged", i.e. detached, and potentially rational, reception of a play, and thus counteracts the spectators' e…

Preds? Trotz calls into question Oilers' goalie coach after Dubynk trade
Preds? Trotz calls into question Oilers goalie coach after Dubynk trade
If Nashville Predators? head coach Barry Trotz had been worried about being fired over his comments about Carter Hutton?s play, he hasn?t shown it yet.
Trotz indirectly called out Edmonton Oilers coaching staff for the ?bad habits? that newly acquired Devan Dubnyk picked up. Dubynk acquired for forward Matt Hendricks posted a 5.09 GAA in his first start with his new club, definitely underwhelming.
Trotz feels as many do that Dubynk, 26, is a veteran of this league and needs to step up his game in order to succeed in this league. Trotz did say that it could have been an adjustment game but that was enough leeway for Dubynk in his eyes.
??Devan?s first start wasn?t great. I don?t want to throw him under the bus. He?s got to be a lot better. He?s a veteran hockey player in the National Hockey League. I felt that three of the five goals were very stoppable in this league. It wasn?t a great game for him, but at the same time it was his first game, first trade, new city, so we?re getting used to him and he?s getting used to us.? Trotz said in an interview with Nashville?s 94.9 Game 2 on Wednesday.
If any team can fix a goaltender it would be Nashville. Pekka Rinne, who is sidelined with injury, has been a two-time Vezina trophy nominee with the Preds. Their website preaches that team building starts from the crease out and they have produced great goaltenders in Rinne and Tomas Vokoun previously.
Goaltending coach Mitch Korn, who helped develop Rinne and Vokoun, has his work cut out for him and it very well may be that Dubynk isn?t an NHL caliber goaltender but no other team in the league has a better shot of giving the final answer than the Preds.

In this exercise we are going to discuss Design Notes, one of my favorite features of Dreamweaver. We will talk about how they can assist team members in communicating throughout the design process. They are also a great way of just passing information to yourself. Now, before I talk about Design Notes, we are going to go in and change a few site settings here as well. So I am going to go back to Site and choose Manage Sites, and Chapter 10, and I will choose Edit. Now, what I want to do is go down to my categories, and I am going to click on Design Notes. I am going to make sure that Maintain Design Notes is turned on, and I want to choose the Upload Design Notes for sharing. Again, if you are working in a collaborative environment, you are going to want to do that, because when you upload your files, your Design Notes will go along with it and they won't stay local.
If you are just writing notes to yourself and tracking the progress of files locally, then you don't want that turned on, but if you do want to share it with the rest of the team members, you are going to want to have Upload Design Notes for sharing. Now, the other thing that I want to talk about is the File View Column category over here on the left hand side; I am going to click on that. Now, what's really nice about this is it allows you to customize in your Site panel which columns of information that you will see. Notice that there are several built-in, and all of them are designed to show except for one, and that's the Design Notes. So I am going to click on Design Notes and from my Options down here, go ahead and Show, and it's going to show what files have Design Notes on them. So I will go ahead and click OK, and Done.
So it will re-cache our site and it's time to go in and take a look at Design Notes. Now, all my files are currently checked in, so if I right click the index file; and of course that's Ctrl+ Click on the Mac, and scroll down and choose Design Notes, you will notice that it says I can't add Design Notes for read-only files. Please check out the file before editing. So you can see that check in and check out; and we discussed that in the last exercise, are doing exactly what we expect it. So instead of working with them in Design Notes, I am going to hit Cancel, and I will have to go back up to my Files, and I am going to tell it to go ahead and check those files out so that I can work on them. Are you sure? Okay.
Now, this can take a long time if you have made a lot of changes to your site. If you haven't made any changes, it's really just sort of looking through my site right now to see if there are any newer files to remote or newer files in the local sites. So as soon as it determines what all my files are doing, it will check them all back out. So all of my files now have a checkmark beside them, meaning that they are all checked out and I can modify them any way I want. So I am going to go up to index and right click that and I will choose Design Notes. Now, we will work with the Basic Info first. What I really like about this is there is a Status pulldown menu, and I can say okay, this is revision1, and I can date stamp that, and I can say Team members, please check the links in this file.
Another thing I really like is this Show when file is opened, I love that. So I will go ahead and click OK, and because I turned my File View Columns on the Notes Column here is now displaying, and I can see this little word balloon and that lets me know that there is a Design Note associated with index. Now, because I checked Show when file is opened, if I were to double click this file to open it up, the first thing that happens is before I can even see the file, the Design Notes panel shows up and occupies pretty much the center of the screen. So it's pretty hard to ignore that. If somebody tells me they didn't see this, I probably wouldn't believe them. So I am going to go ahead and say well, let's move this to revision2, let's click that, and maybe underneath this I am going to say links are fine. Click OK, and then close the file.
Notice that I changed the Design Note and I didn't have to save the file. So I am going to bring my Files panel back up, and you don't have to open up the file in order to read the Design Note. On the PC, you can actually click on the icon to open up the Design Note, and on the Mac, it's still fairly easy. All you have to do is just Ctrl+Click or right click, if you have a two button mouse, and choose Design Notes, and it comes right back up again. So don't feel like you always have to open up the file in order to see the Design Notes. Now, to take Design Notes a step further, instead of just using the Basic Info tab, you can use the All Info tab. I really like this. this is really cool. You can create your own Design Notes. So there is not a category that really works for what your team is doing, you can go ahead and create your own category.
So I can click Plus to create a new Design Note, and I can type in owner and below that I can type in James, so I will just go ahead and set myself as the owner of this file, and I will click OK. You might be wondering, well, what good is doing that? Well, I am going to go back up the Site, and I will go to Manage Sites, and I will choose my Chapter 10 site and choose Edit. I can go back to my File View Columns right there, and what's really nice is that even though there are plenty of built-in columns, you can set your own, and you can associate them with one of the parameters from the Design Note.
So I can choose Add item, and I can say I want you to display the owner of that file, and I am going to associate it with the Design Note. Notice, it doesn't show you anything but the predefined, so you have to remember what you named it, and we will type in owner; that's what we named it. The Option, obviously I want that to Show, and we will go ahead and click OK. I will click Done. Now, if I widened my dialog box out just a little bit and scroll over; I am continuing to scroll over here, I can see that not only do I have the Checked Out By; and my name is appearing there, and that is an email link, I can click on it and it would launch my email address, but even better, it says Owner and it says James.
So if you have specific information that you want to pass back and forth using Design Notes, you can not only attach it to the Design Note, but you can modify Dreamweaver so that actually shows in the Site panel as just another column of information. Regardless of your working alone or as part of a team, Dreamweaver's reporting and collaborative tools can make you workflow a lot smoother. They can also help you detect and correct errors sooner, and make communication between team members much smoother.

Meet "Walter"
Thanks to the naming genius of GroG... I now proclame thee Walter!
***Major Update 11.16.08***
First test worked perfectly! Even with bad code. The motors came on a little suddenly and I didn't have a good 0 to Full-speed range (code problem) but the basic system is solid. Now that I know everything works, I need to do a total tear-down and start figuring out where everything is going to go. Now, God doesn't open a window without closing a door so it seems that this guy will be taken down and will be donating its boards and sensors:
So there you go! Again, I want to give much thanks to everyone who has given me a hand on this one, from motor control and FET's to EEPROM's and all else. I will keep up with the updates as I go but for now, I have a lot of work just changing the initial MacGyvered set-up (in the video) to a proper one. Then comes the rest!
***Update 11.15.08***
Both drive systems done and installed! You would not belive the torque coming out of the wheels! Both motors are mounted with slotted holes allowing adjustment and tentioning of the drive chains. I am doing the electronic work tonight, maybe I'll have a "driving around" video tomorrow.
***Update 11.14.08***
The Frame is Done!!!
(I added a picture with my boy, Charlie-Mac for an idea of scale)
***Update 11.9.08***
Huge Score, folks!!!
I ran into 2 old-school garage door openers and scored 2 small sprockets! Better than that, the ID was just a tiny bit smaller than the shaft comming out of my drill motor. I was able to run a tap down the middle and thread the inside of the gear to the same threading of my drill! --I also drilled and tapped 2 smaller holes for set-screws to lock it to the shaft! PERFECT!
Score number two: I found that the chain used for the garage door opener is not only 15' long, contains TWO master links but is the same pitch as a standard bicycle!!!! Off to the salvage shop. For free I scored 2 kids bikes both with 36 tooth main sprockets. I have liberated them and well, here we go:
So here's what we got: 2 complete chain-drive systems, with a final gear ratio of 36:6 or 6:1. Not only is this the cleanest possible set-up I can think of but with both drills in low and another 6:1 on top of that, this thing will be able to climb a tree! --One more, I was looking at the shift mechanism on the drills... it seems quite easy and possible that a servo could be used to switch from low to high. Just think about it, the first bot here with a REAL transmission including shift-on-the-fly from "wicked fast" to "wicked torque"... OH YEAH!!
I know I should wait until I have video of this guy cruising around on the ground but I couldn't wait.
The frame is from a previous project I did and the drive method is a joke --I mean, c'mon two wheels just rubbing on eachother? The drive system on the final bot will, of course, be a belt and pulley or chain/ sprocket. For now, I am still working on the code and being sure it is "friendly" to the motor driver board. I am still suprised how sensitive these FET's can be.
As you can see on the video, I am just running a simple code of Fwd, spin right, spin left and rev. I am using the PWM code and "ramping up" and "ramping down" the speed before and after any and all changes in direction. I will have to play with it a while to see exactly what I can throw at the controller without smoking anything. For now, I have a 20A inline fuse for the main protection and I have yet to blow it. --However, I have not yet done a test with the wheels on the ground.
You can keep up with the video by watching the LED's on the board... The 2 greens are the PWM signal A/B and the reds indicate a reverse for that side.
Here's just a couple pics:
Get in the box
Nice work
Nice work on this robot, the vid with your wife is halarious.
hope you do well making robots in the future.

Gentryville – A Perry County native died Thanksgiving Day from injuries he sustained that morning in a collision with a tractor-trailer near Gentryville.
The Indiana State Police Post in Jasper received a report of a two-vehicle crash with injury at Indiana 162 east of U.S. 231 in Spencer County.
LEOPOLD – The annual Christmas parade in Leopold is set for 1 p.m. Sunday with Santa Claus making a return visit for the event. Lineup gets under way at 12:30 p.m. in the three staging areas. Floats will line up at Perry Central School with tractors and horse units assembling at the Leopold Conservation Club. Military entries and Perry Central's Marching Commodores will gather on the edge of town.

CANNELTON – Al Chapman isn't hearing as much negative news about state funding for schools as he had a year before, he said Nov. 18, but he added, "I won't be comfortable until I see the budget come out."
He has heard funding will be returned to a previous level, but "I haven't heard anybody say if that's the original number before … or after (recent) cuts," he told school-board members at a regular meeting.
German American Bank, whose float took on a Scooby Doo theme, won top awards in weekend Christmas parades in Cannelton and Tell City.
By VINCE LUECKE, Editor
TROY – Several unlocked vehicles were entered in Troy last week in a series of overnight break-ins that netted thieves compact discs, MP3 players and satellite radios.
UPDATE, 4:20 P.M. FRIDAY - Tentative funeral arrangements for Barry Edward Jarvis were announced Friday afternoon. Visitation will be from 1 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Huber Funeral Home in Tell City.
A funeral service is planned for 11 a.m. Thursday at Deer Creek Baptist Church, with burial to follow in the cemetery there.
Army officials conducted a news briefing Thursday at Fort Campbell. Details will appear in Monday's edition of The News.
LEOPOLD – The annual Christmas parade in Leopold is set for 1 p.m. Sunday. Lineup gets under way at 12:30 p.m. in the three staging areas. Floats will line up at Perry Central School with tractors and horse units assembling at the Leopold Conservation Club. Military entries and Perry Central's Marching Commodores will gather on the edge of town.
CANNELTON – Cannelton Schools Superintendent Al Chapman read some statistics at a school-board meeting Nov. 18 that might change how people view education in Indiana.
TELL CITY – Perry County's jobless rate dropped during October and remained below the statewide average, the latest figures released by the Indiana Department of Workforce Development show.
An estimated 788 men and women, 8.2 percent of the county's work force of 9,576 people, were looking for jobs in October, down from 830 people, or 8.8 percent of the work force, in September.
CANNELTON – A lot of people worked hard to get Cannelton voters to approve a referendum that will cost them money, and the city's schools superintendent appreciated everyone's efforts.
"We were asking something that we don't like to ask," Al Chapman said at a regular school-board meeting Nov. 18, "for people to give up their hard-earned money at a time when, let's face it, every dollar is important."

Rowing: Chambers is on top of the world after Munich win
Published 03/09/2007
Coleraine man Richard Chambers has spoken of his pride after becoming a world champion yesterday.
Chambers and his Great Britain crew mates of James Lindsay-Fynn, Paul Mattick and James Clarke rowed to victory in the final of the men's lightweight four - fulfilling the promise they've shown throughout this season.
"It's pretty awesome. It's a bit surreal at the moment and I'm just letting it sink in," he said.
The quartet only came together this year, but they had an immediate impact on the World Cup regattas finishing third, second and then first.
The golden boys held off the fast finishing French who nicked silver on the line from the Italians.
Now attention will turn to the Beijing Olympics and it would be a major surprise if the four weren't given the chance for more glory next August.
"I'm going to enjoy the moment, but next year we have a big job to do," said Chambers.
But Coleraine's Richard Archibald and the Irish men's lightweight four of Paul Griffin, Eugene Coakley and Cathal Moynihan agonisingly missed out on qualifying the boat for next year's Olympics.
The Irish quartet finished sixth in the B final and 12th overall - only the top eleven crews qualified for Beijing. However, they will have another opportunity to qualify the boat for Beijing at the Olympic qualifying regatta in Lucerne next June.

People's livelihood, memories, and recreational past times are intertwined in the annual steelhead run we have grown accustomed to here in the L.C. Valley. But, those customs are threatened as the hatchery steelhead runs hit a major snag.
"If you look back at the counts over Lower Granite Dam we haven't seen counts this low since 1999," said Clearwater Regional Fisheries Manager Joe Dupont. "So obviously with so many people that love to fish for salmon or steelhead in this area, this kind of news is of concern to them."
Several conclusions have been made as to the cause of the sharp decline in hatchery steelhead.
"Dworshack hatchery had a major die off from a disease," said DuPont. "In fact about one million smolts died and so that reduced the numbers of fish we released in the Clearwater by a third."
"We know that the wild fires and all this heat have played some role in it," said fisherman Joe Buster. "We definitely don't think it's global warming."
The steelhead population is exceptionally low and the air quality out is less than ideal, but that has not deterred fishermen from flocking to the confluence.
The hatchery steelhead that the thousands of anglers pursue every year have beaten all the odds to stay alive. While many of the smolts perish, these "A" and "B" run steelhead have thrived. Which is why, when that highly anticipated bite occurs and the intense fight begins, it is then that fishermen have now beat the odds, and the reason for the countless hours becomes the clearest.
"It was a pretty good rush," said first time fisherman Sarah Tosch. "It was a bit of a struggle to reel it in."
"This one here is about eight and a half pounds and about 29 to 30 inches long," said avid fisherman Butch McConnell.
"Quite frankly I hope I get one for the smoker," said Buster.
Despite the low numbers, local officials encourage fishermen not to become discouraged as numbers from the dams are fluctuating every day.
If you're planning a fishing trip you might want to check out the fish numbers running through the dam, prior to booking it.

Those who have followed the work of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry and of the Association Laboratory in their efforts to safeguard the interests of the medical profession and the public will be interested in the report on bismuth iodo-resorcin sulphonate that appears in this issue. The case there presented is not one in which a manufacturer has deliberately misrepresented his product; rather it is a case of carelessness. In submitting its product to the Council, the firm made statements which it could, and should, have known were not true. The question arises: if a firm is careless enough to make incorrect statements to the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry which it knows will critically examine the claims, what degree of "carelessness" may be expected when the products are exploited direct to physicians? The answer, which must occur to any thinking person, is such as to make one pause.

Also with most shows that involve a story that compasses all episodes (I.e. not something like family guy, but something like white collar) the amount of time that passes is in real time. (In the third season of White Collar Neil says "I've been working for you for over 2 years) and in the 6th season of Psych Gus tells Shawn "You've been after her for 5 years"
