 The National Audubon Society

The National Audubon Society is without a doubt, the first name in bird watching, conservation, and wildlife education. The online guide features stunning photography and a guide to get the novice birder started. The suggestions for getting started with birding undo the notion that birders sit around in khaki pants and binoculars waiting for rare specimens, although there are tips for picking out good binoculars. There are also tips for the time of year, time of day, and even weather for successful birding. A quick guide allows you to search bird species by silhouette and type, such as duck-like birds and hummingbirds. The advanced search option allows you to search by body shape, habitat, region, color, size, wing shape, and flight pattern. The Audubon Society has chapters in every state and the site links to these so you can get involved by joining, going on birding expeditions, and participating in conservation efforts.

>> audubon.com

 The Cornell Lab of Ornithology: All About Birds

Your first stop on the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s site should definitely be the Birding Basics window. Check the Frequently Asked Questions for definitive answers to questions like: “what do I do if I find a baby bird on the ground?” And solutions to problems like blackbirds and pigeons hogging your bird feeder. There also tons of tips for attracting birds to your yard; videos and news to improve your birding success; and a state-by-state guide for the best places in your state to spot birds. The Living Bird features news, science, photos and videos, and birding journals. As with the Audubon page, you can search species by shape, name, and type. You can also get involved with surveys in your area. Finally, sharpen your birding skills with Bird Merlin, an interactive identification tool.

>> allaboutbirds.org

Bird Watcher’s Digest

Bird Watcher’s Digest is full of articles that cover a range of topics from binocular ratings to why you should stop raking your leaves (hooray)! You’ll have to subscribe to the e-newsletter to read the full articles, but the site has plenty to offer the casual browser as well. The “Bill of the Birds” blog is one such offering, written by the editor of the Digest. The podcast, “This Birding Life,” is another.  The do-it-yourself link is just wonderful, and full of instructions on how to make your own bird feeders, houses, and treats from stuff you probably have on hand, and an easy way to keep birds from slamming into your windows. The online shop has plenty of cool stuff for your own hobby or to treat a fellow bird enthusiast. Of particular interest to this writer are the Charley Harper prints and stationery, which telegraph hip sophistication as well as avian élan.

>> birdwatchersdigest.com

Birding.com

When you visit Birding.com, you will appreciate the menu at the bottom of the home page. This will help you narrow your search, whether you’re an ornithologist, a novice birder, or just trying to figure out which birds qualify as “extreme:” the sooty tern can stay in flight from three to ten years without landing; the great bustard is the heaviest flying bird at 46 lbs; and the wryneck has a tongue that is two-thirds the length of its body. This bird trivia page is huge, and you know you want to read the rest of it. Grab a downloadable birding checklist compiled especially for your state and make a scavenger hunt of birding. There are also links to birding activities and organizations according to state, as well as the best spots for bird watching. This site also features an online store with items ranging from the informational and the practical to the adorable (think plush versions of your favorite kid’s favorite bird).

>> birding.com

Bird Watching Daily

Bird Watching Daily’s salutation asks if you’re new to birding, and if you click, a column opens up with a dozen or so articles covering birding basics. These articles cover material including bird emergencies, bird identification, bird feeding, and how to support conservation efforts in your area. Click “Birds to Look For” to see a slide show of birds that show up at different times of year, including a missing whooping crane. Under “Profiles of Birds” you can browse types of birds native to your region and read all about the little guys that frequent your back yard, as well as those you see at the river and the shore. Bird Watching Daily has both a print and an online magazine to which you can subscribe, and an online store with all sorts of books, feeders, scopes, and binoculars.

>> birdwatchingdaily

Birdwatching.com

Birdwatching.com is a spare and neatly organized spot for those who enjoy nature and birding. The webmasters are Michael and Diane Porter, a couple of bird enthusiasts who look and act the part, urging others to take up the hobby at every opportunity. These two are responsible for many of the optics reviews you will read on Bird Watcher’s Digest, Diane Porter also writes articles about the birds she spots under the heading “Bird Stories.” The site offers scopes, binoculars, DVDs, birding vests, birdbaths, and feeders—check out the birdsong alarm clock! The Porters welcome, even encourage phone calls if you have any birding questions, and this should be indicative of the kind of personable tone of the rest of the site. Sign up for the newsletter and you may find yourself with a couple of new friends in Iowa.

The Wine Making Home Page

You might call the Winemaking Home Page Jack Keller’s passion project’s passion project. His is one of the most visited winemaking sites on the Web, and is a close to comprehensive as you could want. On the right hand side of the page are the book reviews; on the left is a menu of topics from getting started to suggestions on where to buy gear and accessories to making wildcrafted wine from foraged plants. Take a break from your labor with the winemaker’s quiz, or to read Jack Keller’s original short poems about wine. Do take heed of the explicit warning that emails will not likely be answered, however, checking out the wine blog might yield the answer to your question. Of course, some this blog has little to do with winemaking, which makes it much more interesting to read. There are recipes for things like hickory nut pie and tips for home baking the best loaves of crusty French bread. This blog shines for its numerous non-traditional wine recipes. Anybody can give you a good Cab-Franc tutorial, but where else can you get a recipe for orange-praline dessert wine or coffee wine? Besides, there are plenty of additional winemaker’s sites and forums for you to check out below.

>>winemaking.jackkeller.net

Winemaking.com

Winemaking.com has a nice, candid tone, and doesn’t waste any time getting down to business. You want to make wine? Good. Here’s how: start out with a kit, and when you’re comfortable with that, move on to using your own grapes to garner the endless respect of your connoisseur compadres. The technique button will unfold a nice list and description of all the equipment and ingredients you will need. Then you will get a step-by-step explanation of the process of making wine from a kit or with grapes. Once you feel good about these processes, check out the recipes page for some oddball brews to bring to the party: would you prefer rosehip, or banana wine? The links page will direct you to plenty of places to buy equipment, accessories, even flavoring agents.

>>winemaking.com

Wine Press U.S.

Wine Press U.S. is the social network for small wine makers, vineyard owners, wine enthusiasts, and distributors. Joel Sommer began this forum after his own research into winemaking yielded too few results he could really use. Indeed, there are far more sites that want to sell you winemaking books and equipment than there are sites outlining the processes, analyzing successes and failures, and connecting serious home and larger-scale vintners to amateur and aspiring winemakers. On the forum page you will find discussion topics for every question you could possibly have about wine and winemaking, whether you want to build a wine cellar, buy corks, meet other winemakers in your area, or make cheese to pair with your wine. If you’re growing or thinking of planting your own grapevines, do read the section on grape growing, trellising, and training. Then download the free recipe book and the accompanying log sheet that will allow you to keep track of what you did to make a spectacular batch.

Wine Intro

Lisa Shea’s Wine Intro is a great page to check out when you are curious about winemaking and want to simply increase you knowledge about all things wine. Seriously, this page will have you primed and ready to answer any question that someone throws your way once you are the successful proprietor of a beloved local vineyard. Perhaps this page’s finest service is answering that nagging question: “how do I store an opened bottle of red wine?” After that, check out the list of great films, books, and movies with unforgettable scenes or plots involving wine. This site also has wine games and wine songs to entertain your party guests (serve a couple of bottles before attempting). The winemaking pages give you a snappy overview of the process for brewing your own red, white, or sparkling wine. There are also lots and lots of recipes for sangria and mulled wine, which you will appreciate if your batch turns out anything less than stellar.

>>wineintro.com

How to Make Wine

How to Make Wine encourages wine enthusiasts to make the leap from connoisseur to home vintner, and makes the process seem easy. Along with the explanation of the equipment you will need and where to get it, you will find more cool recipes for more esoteric brews like dandelion wine (Ray Bradbury fans rejoice!). You’ll also find specs for bottle trees and wine cabinets here, and tips for touring the best-known and virtually unknown wine regions in the world. Use the sitemap to navigate around this page; otherwise, you’ll miss all the good stuff, like how to make vinegar out of your wine. You can always shoot an email to the webmaster and recommend they add a search bar. Still, the site map is pretty fantastic, and you’ll find yourself clicking around as the minutes slip away.

>>howtomakewine.info

How to Make Homemade Wine

How to Make Homemade Wine is a nice, clearly laid out page that is just great for getting started. You will be able to read about the virtues of whole fruit versus concentrate. Then you can read a thorough explanation of each ingredient and it’s purpose: for example, why do you need a specific kind of yeast? Next, there is an overview of the fermentation process, which, sources agree, is the most important part of winemaking. After the fermentation process comes the underrated step of clarification, which is discussed at length. Following clarification is the section on bottling and aging the wine and the undeniable importance of buying good corks. Finally, there is an exhaustive list of what could have gone wrong if your batch fails. If you aren’t satisfied with your results after all this, you can sign up for the free e-course or you can hop on the forum to troubleshoot with fellow vintners.

This is probably our favorite website to date for listening to classical music. We like it a lot because it allows you to stream endless amounts of classical music to your PC.

You are in luck, because this site has 38 recordings of it! There are few recordings of the top 100 or so composers that this site does not have. If you want to download the music, you can buy the recording of your choice for a low price. But we are happy usually to just stream music for hours while working on the PC.

Tire Team

Free and Fast Shipping

This is a good site for shopping for tires because the selection is really great. For our Toyota Highlander with 16 inch wheels, they have 26 different tires available. Each tire has plenty of user reviews so you can see how the tires perform in the real world. We also love the free shipping aspect of this website. Shipping can run at least 40 dollars for 4 tires, so when you add that plus no sales tax, shopping on this site can be a great deal.

>> Free and Fast Shipping – Tireteam.com

Tire Buyer

Free Shipping

Ok we admit it: We are suckers for free shipping! However, this site also features very competitive pricing. In fact, we took the lowest quote on a Nexen tire on this site and called our local dealer. They could not touch the price that was on this website. We also liked the extensive listing of installers in our area that could put the tires on for us.

Did we mention the free shipping?

>> Free Shipping – TireBuyer.com

Tire Rack

Great Selection and Reviews

The first site on our list that does NOT including free shipping! Well, that’s okay, because Tire Rack is considered by many to be the leader in online tire sales. What makes it so good is the simply huge selection. Also, there are dozens of detailed user reviews for each tire. This is extremely helpful in making a tire buying decision. After all, you might opt for the $80 tire rather than the $100 tire, but if the cheap tire is reported to wear down in 20,000 miles, are you really saving money?

>> Great Selection and Reviews – TireRack.com

Tires Easy

Awesome Prices and Service

We found this tire website to have the best prices of all of them, and they sometimes offer free shipping too. This site did not have that much as far as user reviews, so it is not the top site. However, you can easily Google any particular tire you are considering and see what previous buyers say about it. For the money that you can save, this is not a bad way to go.

>> Awesome Prices - TiresEasy.com

Direct Buy Tire

Good Prices

This site is not as easy to use as the others; you cannot seem to select tires by vehicle. You need to know the size of your tire. Not that this is a big deal, but it’s not as user friendly. Still the prices here are pretty good, and we were able to get free shipping most of the time. Not a bad deal at all.

>> Good Prices – DirectBuyTire.com

OnLine Tires

The Easiest Way to Buy Tires

This is a pretty sexy site, definitely better to look at than some of the others. They also had a fair number of good deals, as well as some pretty high prices. It is not our top choice, but it is worth stopping buy here when you are shopping to see if they have a special in your size.

>> A Heaven of Tea - Teavana.com

Stash Tea

Great Tea Finder

We liked the cool tea finder on the bottom left of this Website. You can search for many different types of tea, package, how much caffeine and character. You then get 10 or more choices of tea to choose from in the category of your choice. This site also has free shipping for orders over $50 and lots of information about the history of tea. There also is a great section on teaware, including mugs, teapots, spoons, infusers and so on.

Adagio Teas

Save on Tea of the Month Club

We liked how easy it is to search under the many different types of tea on this site. You just click the picture of the tea that you want on the top of the site (what can we say, we are a simple-minded lot!). This site also has very nice pictures of all of its loose leaf teas. We liked how you can save 15% on your orders if you join their tea of the month club, too.

This is another very attractive tea site with a great selection, and a cool name. Republic of Tea….has a nice ring to it! We like the many tea varieties here, and the special section of Wellness Teas is nice. We also appreciate the section on Iced Teas, which is one of our summer favorites. They also have a very robust gift area where you can choose many tea gifts, including great sample packs.

We like the tea section on this site because you can shop by function. That is, you can buy tea that is for anti-aging, energizing, slimming and calming. They have very nice tea sampler boxes at affordable prices, and the Tea of the Month club sends you a different tea for every month of the year. They have a cool selection of gravity teapots too!

About Pizza

The Place You Need to Go to Learn About Pizza

We like the tons of information this website has about pizza. There are tons of great pizza recipes on here. We also like the links to many blogs about pizzas. After all, who can help but to write about pizza all day? The section about the importance of a good pizza oven is also very interesting. We liked the pizza history section as well. Pizza didn’t really start in Italy as many seem to think.

Pizza Making Forum

We didn’t know there was a forum on making pizzas! Well there sure is. This is a great forum because there are tons of people here. There is a whole section devoted to questions about dough. There is a huge section with 2000 topics on ingredients for pizza. They also have sections for specific types of pizza – New York, Chicago, Neapolitan, Cracker style and American.

Pizza – The Pride of Naples

All About The Home of Neapolitan Pizza

Although pizza was made of a sort as far back as Greek times, many consider Naples to be the home of the modern pizza. The story is that Queen Margherita of the Savoy dynasty visited the city. The city’s most well known cook was invited to prepare popular peasant food for the queen. Three types of pizzas were created to present to her. She most favored the pizza made of mozzarella, basil and tomato, which resembled the colors of the Italian flag. The Margherita pizza was named after her.

Pizza Blog

We had never seen a blog completely dedicated to pizza, but here you go! We really liked the detailed, no holds barred reviews of pizza establishments around the country (they took it pretty hard to Dante’s Pizzeria in Chicago). We really lied the review from the ‘Rome correspondent’ who provides reviews of pizza shops in ancient Rome. They even had a report on Domino’s pizza in Japan (beef stew on a pizza?).

Video Pizza

Yes, Seriously

This is simply a site that sells a video (VHS, DVD?) of ‘a full hour of spinning pizza montage with soothing sizzling sound effects.’ It has cheesy 80s music. We have no idea why we like this. It’s bizarre. Strange. So we love it!

Wood Stone Pizza Ovens

Finest Pizza Cooking Equipment in the World

Ok, maybe you would not expect a stove company to be on a pizza website list. But as you probably know, a good stone hearth or wood-fired oven is really important for a great pizza. This site is the premiere place for restaurants to buy a high quality pizza oven online. We like the huge selection of pizza ovens that they offer for a variety of restaurant sizes. Some of these ovens could even be installed in a home.
