![]() Unfortunately, very few of these places have english menus. Their DanDan noodles ($3) are excellent as are their spicy beef and tendons ($6). There is a sichuan stall in the back of the mall. If you get to a pet store, you've gone too far. You will see a dumpling booth and a soup booth in the doorway. There is not sign on the door but if you want on Main Street it is located across from the Post office. It really is like outdoor food stall of asia transported into a small piece of Flushing. These mini malls consist of a few regional food stalls that offer anything from dumplings to sichuan food to chinese muslim food. These places that I've been going more and more often though are a group of stalls located on Main Street across the street from the Post Office. If you like congee and glutinous steam rice - Sweet and Tart is the place to go. If you like hot pot, you'll really like this place. Of course, there's also Minni's - the individual hot pot place. You really must also have the beef roll - beef, scallion, hoisin sauce rolled up in a scallion pancake (they serve this all the time). This place also does a really great job on Taiwanese Breakfast - soymilk, chinese doughnuts, soup dumplings, potstickers. It is on the north side of 40th street, west of the liquor store. The one that I've been going to for some time has a name that translates to South and North Unite. For the family that doesn't like to cook this is really a great bargain. Diners can choose from a list of about 40 dishes. There are quite of few restaurant on 40th road that offer 3 dishes and a soup for $16-$17 dollars. It's very old school Chinatown (as many know it was originally on Mott street, still the same owners). Probably my favorite meal there is braised fish casserole and salted fish steamed meat pancake. Some are written in chinese on pieces of paper hanging from the wall. I will say that alot of their dishes are not on the menu. It's on Main Street closer to Northern Blvd. I think their real highlights are not so much the entree type food but rather the appetizers that they make in the front of the restaurant. Hope this helpsįor Sichuan food, i think every one already knows about Spicy and Tasty. Haven't touched on any of the large Canto places (the one at Fay Da bakery - which i thought was the best - closed recently) sorry. I'm not sure if this is the best food, but these are the places that I've been eating at in Flushing over the past few months.

Without any impurities, quartz crystals are colorless. Like many minerals, quartz comes in a wide variety of colors, but amethyst is the most valuable of them. No matter the meaning people give to these rich purple quartz, its continued popularity will keep the price higher than that of many other semi precious stones.Īt its most basic, amethyst is simply purple quartz (silicon dioxide). With all these connotations, it’s easy to see why amethyst was once very popular.Īmethyst is the birthstone of those born in February, and many people believe it has the power to clear the mind and boost productivity. In Chinese Feng Shui, they assign this particular gemstone the power to attract money. Whereas, Ancient Greeks believed that amethyst could prevent someone who was drinking too much wine from getting drunk, and later it was seen as protective against disease. This stone was chosen because in biblical times the High Priest would wear a garment that had this large gemstone. For instance, Catholic bishops wear an amethyst ring, which represents their office. This purple gem has been a symbol of royalty and authority since ancient times. After all, amethysts, and the color purple in general, are rich with meaning. It’s no surprise that amethysts or purple quartz, are a popular choice, both for rock collectors and for jewelry. ![]() So, if you want to buy something nice for yourself or a loved one, how much does this purple gem cost? Here’s a quick guide. Centuries ago, they weren’t available to common people and were very expensive.

The series of crises, catastrophic events, wars and revolutions in the period up to 1914 was evidence of the advent of huge social and political changes. This together with the impact of the French revolution sets out his necessary templates, parallels and differences. He uses the comparisons with the 30 Years War which, he argues like that of the twentieth century, ended with a structural change within the European states, then through the Treaty of Westphalia establishing absolutism over feudal states. “Fire and Blood” is a series of interlocking essays, the first part considering the origins of the European civil war, its anatomy, the war against civilians and a fascinating chapter on judging the enemy. For him “if civil wars are tragedies, some deserve commitment”, and given that today’s “amnesiac democracy is necessarily a fragile one… an attitude of an apolitical rejection of commitment, condemnation of violence and stigmatising of ideologies should not be seen as a form of timeless wisdom” It is seldom that an author’s references and sympathies are so boldly and clearly stated. ![]() They were Italian partisans and his mother only twenty when Italy was liberated. In his fine preface establishing his historical perspectives, he then acknowledges the antifascist family from which he came. “įor Traverso the twentieth century should not be just viewed as human tragedy or the evil power of ideologies. And this enemy has not ceased to be victorious. Writing in 1940 in the darkest period for the anti fascists and socialists, he states “in every era the attempt must be made anew to wrest tradition away from a conformism that is about to overpower it …Only that historian will have the gift of fanning the spark of hope in the past who is firmly convinced that even the dead will not be safe from the enemy if he wins. It is as though he accepts Walter Benjamin’s position in his Theses on the Philosophy of History, when Benjamin argues we ought to have “contracted a debt to those who fought” and who did not win. For him the voices of those defeated need to be heard, such as Luxemburg, Gramsci, Azana, Trotsky and Benjamin but also figures like Junger and Schmitt. But to understand the whole historical perspective, he demands that the stick be bent backwards and the role of the actors/perpetrators as well as the vanquished be given due presence. Consequently the victims become the witnesses and upon whose evidence, historical assessments and judgments are developed. Traverso frames the book by recognising that much of historical research today instead of being dominated by the history of the victors is drawn from the perspective of the victims and their experiences. Sometimes they were part of the wars of liberation from occupation, but they were also struggles which arose from the desire to overthrow inherited wealth and the “established order”, based on hopes and beliefs that there should be greater equality and societies formed with the interests of the many to replace the concerns of the few. In many countries such wars meant that communities and classes within the same geographical space were and are permanently fractured by actions based on diametrically opposed political positions and which resulted in deaths, traumas and with long standing scores still to be settled. It is part of family histories passed onto and forming political allegiances of new generations. However throughout much of Europe the term, civil war, recreates the most searing experiences in living memory. The exception being of course those living in Ireland. Such a formulation carries little personal resonance with most people living in Britain, “civil war” exists only in the distant past of the English revolution, now securely placed as history. He persuasively argues the age of wars and revolutions extending from 1914 to 1945 should be viewed as a European civil war. Recently Verso has been publishing books which subject such formulations to critical scrutiny and Traverso’s book could be as one such. In debating this period it appears standard to use the framework of “totalitarianism” – a concept that during the Cold War became central to equalising out political agencies and states, equating communism (in all its forms) and fascism. One of the major political discussions in the last twenty to thirty years has been how to analyse the period of wars and revolutions, which occurred throughout most of the twentieth century. ![]() Jane Shallice reviews Fire and Blood: The European Civil War, 1914–1945, by Enzo Traverso, translated by David Fernbach.

Our butlers were friendly and did a good job of trying to make sure we were happy. Food and drink service on the Preferred side was very good, and the initial check in process was great and they got us set up to enjoy the resort while we waited for our room to get ready. ![]() We did not spend much of our time there, but did take a few breaks to hang out at the main pool bar. The non preferred side is much busier/noisier, with the entertainment crew working hard to keep everyone occupied. *Preferred Club: Worth the upgrade for us. Booked an ocean view top floor room on the Preferred Club side. Outside of two short excursions, we spent all of our time at the resort. Beautiful adults only resort and the beach is incredible. Couple of things we ordered were either not what we expected or different than we'd hoped, but lots of things. It appears they do monitor that as expected now, which is good. I had read early reviews that said not to worry about upgrading because they don't check anyway. They do check your room number for meal service and entering the Preferred Club area. ![]() Material used for sound insulation in the DC-3 weighed 240 pounds. The total length of the control cables used on the DC-3 was over 2,850 feet, more than 0.5 mile. To light an ordinary room in those days only 100 watts was required.Īpproximately 6,000 men and women were employed in building a DC-3. More than 90 lights were used in each plane. The lighting system of each DC-3 plane was sufficient to light an eight room house. The average size used in the manufacture was approximately 3-8 inches long, and if laid end-to-end, the rivets would cover a distance of 15,625 feet or more than three miles. …… some statistics?įive hundred thousand rivets (500.000) were used in the manufacture of the Douglas DC-3 airplane. The Basler BT-67 is one of the turboporp conversion variants of the DC-3.”Īnd this is just one site of the many websites that offers DC-3/C-47 information.īrought to you by the DC-3/Dakota Historical Society, Inc. 2010 – many DC-3 remain in commercial operation. The DC-3 was also license-produced in Japan as Nakajima L2D. The Lisunov Li-2 was a copied variant of the DC-3 with production in the Soviet Union. After WWII thousands of surplus C-47 Skytrain were converted to be used as civil airliners. The DC-3/C-47 was produced in countless variants. The DC-3 is a development of the Douglas DC-2. The military main-variant was the C-47 Skytrain. No, the only reason I took this historical aircraft is because I love the way it’s made and being Dutch, having great memories with old historical aircraft like the DC- Uiver or PH-AJU.īut what’s the difference between a DC-3 and C-47?Īccording to “The Douglas DC-3 is a twin-engined short-to-medium-range Airliner with a capacity of maximum 32 passengers and a military utility transport aircraft produced by the US-American manufacturer Douglas Aircraft Company. Just to make this clear this review deals with the VSL C-47 Skytrain and I’ve got no intentions to compare the flight dynamics with the Aeroworx model nor how realistic the 3D external model including the 3D cockpit is versus the Aeroworx. Perhaps you own already the VSkyLabs (VSL) C-47 Skytrain Flying L§ab Project, and perhaps you’ve been flying around with it for a while or you wasn’t aware of this VSL C-47 model at all and only knew the Aeroworx C-47 freeware model. Want to know more about this gorgeous aircraft? Then check out the DC-3/Dakota Historical Society, Inc. “Americans called it the “Gooney Bird”, “Doug”, “Dumbo”, “Old Fatso”, “Charlie 47”, “Skytrain”, “Skytrooper” and “Tabby.” The British called it the “Dakota” and the “Dak.”The RCAF called one squadron of Dakotas “The Flying Elephants”.Civilian pilots called it the “Three”, “Old Methuselah”, “The Placid Plodder”, “The Dowager Dutchess”, “The Flying Vagrant” and the “Dizzy Three.” According to this society “Most people remember and still call the C-47 the “Gooney Bird”.There are several versions of how it got that name.Some say the name came from the South Pacific where small atolls were the home of the wandering albatross, the giant seagull-like bird noted for its powers of flight, and sometimes unflattering but safe landings.Some GIs said the C-47 looked like the bird, with a heavy body and long wings, and mimicked the bird in its struggle to get off the rain-soaked dirt fields.”īut this is just one of the nicknames the DC-3/C-47 had. ![]() I, Angelique van Campen from X-Plained.Com, present to you the Gooney Bird. On behalf of the DC-3/Dakota Historical Society, Inc. ![]() However, when I do play games on consoles I like that Turtle Beach gives me a bit of that power with their own apps. Being a PC gamer, I get the benefits of having access to a wide variety of options to better suit my audio needs. I’ll use my PC a lot for productivity (video and audio editing) and gaming, and I found that both the 600 and 700 are able to meet those needs, as sounds come in high, crystal clear tones.Īnd while not the most option filled, the Turtle Beach Audio Hub App is an absolute must for console gamers. I mean these are headsets, so it comes with the expectations that they would sound great, but to be able to be used across a variety of systems so seamlessly, without any sacrifices in its quality is a big thing. Perhaps what makes both the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 and 700 Gen 2 Max such a darn good pair of headsets is by far, the way they sound. It does do a great job at blocking outside sounds though, so there is a reason why that pressure is there, and like I said, I did get used to it after use, so it may just be the case of “breaking it in.” Stellar Performance at Your Full Control I’m not sure if it’s because of the banding not really being flexible, thus exerting too much around the ears, but as a warning if you have a large head you may find a bit of discomfort. I’ve gotten used to it, but there is definitely noticeable pressure. While the cushioning is comfortable, I found there to be a bit too much pressure around the ears during my first time wearing. Now if there is a complaint that I do have, then it’s the tightness around the ear cup. And again, if you aren’t someone who uses the mic, you can flick it to the up position and it will automatically be muted (an audible mute,) so you can play without the worry of someone hearing you. Mind it’s not the most flexible of microphones out there with a small angle adjustment, but it is positioned in a great spot where it’ll always pick up your voice. If they are removable then you have to worry about potentially losing it, which I’m sure some of you have before. It either stays stuck out, or rotates awkwardly. I do like it when you can remove the microphone, but that’s mostly because a majority of sets out there don’t have a good way of hiding it. What I love the most though is how the microphone is carved into the ear cup itself, allowing you to easily swing it down when you want to use it, or hide it completely without the need of removing it. I’ll dive into that stuff a bit later, but in terms of accessibility, it’s all there out of the box, no additional software needed or leaving it up entirely to the consoles themselves. There are two volume controls, one for game, and the other for chat, and then there’s the Bluetooth (700 model only) pairing button, and the mode button to toggle Superhuman Hearing. On the left ear cup you’ll find all the bells and whistles of dials and buttons. It’s not a big thing, but I do like that from a style standpoint, even if you only see it when you take them off. Looking inside the ear cups themselves however, you can actually see the speakers and its internal components as there is a transparent film of fabric over it. And I mentioned before that both ear cups have memory foam cushioning, which are wrapped in a leather-like material. It’s a nice design choice, one I’ve been fond of in past Turtle Beach headsets, as well as the ROCCAT line. It’s a snug and comfortable fitīoth ear cups also have hinges to rotate in and out, as well as up and down. Now there is surprisingly some weight, but the memory foam underneath the band as well as around the ear cups help cushion that to the point where you probably won’t notice. It’s not bulky either, comparable to the size of my PlayStation 3D Pulse headset. It feels well built, as if the intentions were to make sure that it would last a lifetime. The exterior is covered in a nicely matted plastic finish, and while that may scream “cheap” and “non-durable,” it is anything but. ![]() Don’t get me wrong, it’s very plain when you first look at it from pictures and promotional material, but I assure you, in person it looks and feels like a premium product. In the looks department, I have to say that the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 and 700 Gen 2 MAX is remarkably beautiful. The “Max” versions of the Stealth series offer better quality, better sound, and built with consoles in mind, The question is: does it deliver? Here’s our review of the new Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max and Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max. Turtle Beach is back, and this time with yet another exciting new revision to their Stealth 600 and 700 series of headsets. |
