Fantasy Preview 2013: Colorado Rockies
Written by Jonathan Leshanski
Published: 16 March 2013
At one time it really looked like the Rockies had figured out how to pitch at Coors Field, but now that seems like a long time ago and clearly it didn't work. Once again the Rox should be able to score plenty of runs, but they'll probably have a lot more scored against them. Outside of closer Rafael Betencourt and maybe SP Jhoulys Chacin (if you feel like gambling), you probably should just stay away from Colorado hurlers. That said the offense offers plenty of fantasy players worthy of your notice.
Here are 10 to watch in 2013.
Troy Tulowitzki (SS):
He's 28 and has just two 500-plus AB seasons under his belt in his 7 year career. Last year was a disaster as he barely managed 200 ABs. Even if he can stay healthy his double digit steal days may well be gone (due to past injuries), and in the small sample size of 2013, the power numbers look a bit on the light side as well. Still he's in his prime years and a bounceback is more than possible. 450 ABs could raise him back to elite status, but the risk you might not even get 300 ABs is too real to totally discount.

Carlos Gonzalez (OF):
Still an elite five-category contributor, but one with concerns that manifested in the second half of last season when he posted a .261-5-27. Injuries were certainly in play at that time but questions linger about if they were the cause or if the skill set was eroding (or maybe the mindset of playing for a punching bag are getting to him). Still he's just entering his prime and is coming off his third 20-20 season. Expect more of the same, but take a look at some safer options if the price is too high.
Tyler Colvin (1B/OF):
I'm a huge Todd Helton fan, but Helton, who at this point is no longer much of a fantasy contributor, is all that stands between Colvin and significant fantasy relevance. Despite last year's numbers xBA says not to believe he's better than a .265 hitter and probably worse in fact. But he easily has the potential to go 20-10, and as he's coming into his prime with upside still in the tank it could be better than that -- provided he finds the ABs.
Josh Rutledge (2B/SS):
Rutledge will swing to the other side of the infield to patrol second base on a regular basis for the Rox in the 2013 season. While he certainly has some flaws (walk rate, strikeout rate) he's got the ability to contribute across the board, though it wouldn't surprise me if the average and power took a step back from last season.
Wilin Rosario (C):
His dreadful defense could cost him playing time and maybe even land him on the bench but it's hard to ignore the eye popping power that Rosario displayed in just 396 AB last season (28 HR). Don't expect another .270 season, but as long as Rosario doesn't find himself riding the pine due to defensive shortcoming he'll contribute big time.
Michael Cuddyer (1B/OF):
The loss of middle infield eligibility certainly brings Cuddyer's fantasy stock down a fair bit as he'd be a top 5 second baseman, but is at best a middling choice at first or in the outfield. However the thin air of Colorado is definitely in his favor this coming year as many fantasy owners will look at the home run total (16) and miss the fact that he only managed 358 ABs due to injury. Definite value here in the mid rounds.
Dexter Fowler (OF):
It seems we've been waiting on the Dexter Fowler breakout for almost half a decade now and it still hasn't come. We've seen some growth, but it's time to doubt that a real breakout is coming. Plenty of upside, but only worth it at a low to moderate price. If 20-20 is coming, now is the time, but don't pay for what he hasn't shown.
Chris Nelson (2B/3B):
Nelson is a gamble no matter how you cut it. His real value comes from having 2B eligibility, where his weak numbers won't seem quite as anemic. He hits for good average in the rarified air of Colorado but his road splits suggest he's just a creature of Coors. Figure his true baseline sits near .270 with maybe 7-9 home runs and hope for the best. Obviously if you can afford to start him only at Coors, his value is a bit higher.
Rafael Betencourt (CL):
A solid enough closer, but one who might not be a Rockie or a closer by the trading deadline. Further complicating the mix is his age (38) and the inevitable decline that comes with it. Figure he's good for 15-20 saves when you price his value and hope there are a lot more.
Eric Young Jr. (OF):
Young's value is all in his legs. If he could consistently get on base he'd be a fantasy juggernaut when it came to steals. As it is, playing time may well be hard to come by. Still he could manage 300 ABs and could swing 25 steals, and the sky might well be the limit with regular playing time. Problem is that he doesn't throw all that well and is best suited to left field defensively, and he's not going to displace Car-Go from that spot.

I would be sad if you quit blogging. I try to keep it real on my blog--but then I think, do people really want to hear how I spilled an entire jar of peppercorns while making soup this week, and then the next day through out some of the broth because it had gelatinized more than normal and I thought it was fat? Ha! I figure people undo their seams as often as I do, and then try to just appreciate all of the beautiful things on blogs. But I hear you on that one.

Really, I would like to say "thank you" to you for inspiring me. I have been looking at everyone else's blog for 2 years now and it's because of you (and lots of other wonderful women) that I decided to start my own blog. My hope is give a little back (either to all of you pros out there or to the newbies). Keep up the great work and don't ever be afraid to pat yourself on the back every once in a while...YOU DESRVE IT! Thank you!!!

Every once in a while I am really intimidated by some of the great quilting that is done by others. But then I have a day like today. Finished quilting a quilt and I am doing so much better than I was and I am not ashamed of what I can do. So even though I will probably never be an "excellent" quilter, I really like what I am doing.

Who's to say one blog is better than another? That's why we're all different; different blogs appeal to different people. I used to follow ALOT of quilting blogs, but I don't feel the need to anymore. I've pared it down to the three I found most inspiring and yours is one of them. Nothing wrong with the other ones, and I'm sure they still post beautiful quilts and maybe I'll visit them from time to time, but they were no longer ones I wanted to keep on top of. I hope you keep up the posting!

More than a quarter of NHL franchises are looking for a new captain. That's a higher than normal turnover rate; after the 2012-13 season, five teams picked new players to wear the 'C,' with the Blue Jackets opting to wait on choosing Rick Nash's replacement.Leadership positions are a funny thing. It's not just simple ceremony—officializing roles (and the responsibilities and privileges attached) is an important thing in any field. Professional hockey is no different, but ultimately, performance is what counts. Leadership, grit, jam, whatever—they're called "intangibles" for a reason. It's not a coincidence that a team's best players tend to have letters on their jerseys.Still, someone needs to be the go-to guy for his teammates. Someone needs to be the liaison between players and the coaching staff. Someone needs to deal with the media when nobody else feels like it. Justin Bourne broke down the captain's role in 2012, and he did it perfectly.All that said, the concept of team captaincy is fun and generally unique to hockey. Football comes closest to replicating the model, but it's not quite the same. Example A: Nobody is going to bother attempting to predict NFL captains during the offseason, which is exactly what's going on here.
Last captain: Jason PominvilleThe job opened up when Buffalo sent Pominville to the Minnesota Wild at the trade deadline—and it's probably the toughest to predict. The Sabres, as was the case the last two seasons, are a mess. Thomas Vanek was an alternate under Pominville, but he could well be on his way out of town. Same goes for Drew Stafford. Ryan Miller certainly has leadership responsibilities, but he's a goaltender—and, in keeping with the theme, could quickly wind up on the trading block.Prediction: Christian EhrhoffEhrhoff quietly had a high-caliber 2012-13 season, and he should be in Buffalo for the long haul; his contract (10 years, $40 million) lasts until 2020-21, and its $4 million cap hit suggests he won't ever be an albatross for the franchise. Plus, he's captained Germany at the World Championships. Another option for Buffalo: Pull a Blue Jackets and wait until some of the dust settles on their pseudo-rebuild. Nobody on the current roster makes more sense than Ehrhoff, though.
Last captain: Jarome IginlaYou don't want to be the guy who replaces Jarome Iginla. You want to be the guy who replaces the guy who replaced Jarome Iginla. Iginla's an icon of the sport, one of the best leaders of his generation and the greatest player in Flames history. By a lot. The fact that someone else is going to wear the C in Calgary is bizarre.Prediction: Mark GiordanoCalgary might also be wise to wait out a season (or two, or three) before choosing Iginla's successor. Whenever that happens, based on the current roster, Giordano makes sense. He was an alternate under Iginla along with Mike Cammalleri, who the Flames have openly attempted to trade.
Last captain: Rick NashNash wasn't the only captain in the history of the Blue Jackets. It just felt that way. After Nash was finally traded to the New York Rangers last offseason, president John Davidson and coach Todd Richards wisely waited out the season to choose his replacement. It didn't seem to have much an effect on the team — Columbus surprised everyone and made a run at the postseason.Prediction: Jack JohnsonJohnson's defensive deficiencies are somehow both well-documented and understated, but he seems like a lock for the job. He's on a long-term contract, wisely or not, and is both a fan favorite and experienced leader. It's almost surprising this hasn't happened already.
Last captain: Brenden MorrowAnother tough set of shoes to fill. Morrow didn't have much left in the tank when Dallas traded him to the Pittsburgh Penguins, but he commanded enough respect to supplant Mike Modano while Modano still was on the Stars. GM Jim Nill has said the team will choose a new captain for the 2013-14 season.Prediction: Jamie BennDallas has several veterans on short-term contracts (Sergei Gonchar, Ray Whitney) but Benn basically is the only choice. He signed a long-term deal last season and, at 24, continues to improve. He's also moving back to wing, thanks to the offseason additions of centers Tyler Seguin and Shawn Horcoff. Those goofy green jerseys need a 'C.'
Last captain: Shawn HorcoffHorcoff caught a lot of flak for his contract—specifically the fact that his offensive production didn't quite live up to it—but he did a good enough job in a messy situation and took some unfair criticism. He's in Dallas now.Prediction: Andrew FerenceThis is another spot where an unorthodox system could work—a rotating captaincy, an alternate-only group—but Ference, added in free agency from the Boston Bruins, makes the most sense. Yes, he's in his first season with the franchise, and yes, he's 34, but he's one of the more articulate, respected players in the league, and he could act as a bridge to one of the younger players (Taylor Hall or Jordan Eberle) taking the job down the road.
Last captain: Mark StreitStreit was one of the more underrated players in the league when he took the job in 2011. Now, he's 35, overpaid and a Philadelphia Flyer.Prediction: John TavaresMortal lock. He's a Hart Trophy candidate on one of the best contracts in the league, and he's somehow still 22. Tavares is the dude. The Isles should've called a press conference an hour after the paperwork on Streit's contract went through.
Last captain: Daniel AlfredssonThis is another messy one. Nobody anticipated the job opening up this soon, but Eugene Melnyk works in mysterious ways. Alfredsson, a Senator for 19 years and captain for 14, is in Detroit—or maybe at a rink in Ottawa, still wearing Sens gear. Either way.Prediction: Jason SpezzaChris Phillips has been a Senator since they took him first overall, and he wants the job. Erik Karlsson won a Norris Trophy at 23 and is signed through 2019. Both make sense. Spezza just makes more of it. Back injury or not, he's still an elite player, and he's been in Ottawa's leadership group for a huge portion of his career. Plus, that laugh. Oh, that laugh!
Last captain: Vincent LecavalierIf Lecavalier and the Lighting each had their way, he'd still be wearing the 'C.' Tampa Bay had no real choice but to buy him out, though, and like Streit, he signed for a lot of money with the Flyers.Prediction: Martin St. LouisThis makes too much sense: Give the job to St. Louis, one of the most respected players in the league. He'll hold it for the rest of his career—scoring champ or not, he's 36—then hand it over to Steven Stamkos. Simple.

Conducted by Dmitri Jurowski, The Chorus and Orchestra from the State Academic Bolshoi Theatre performed the Opera Eugen Onegin by Pjotr Iljitsch Tschaikowsky. This work has been inspired by Alexander Puschkin's novel in which he is quoting Breguet watches.
Before this amazing Soirée, our guests had the opportunity to discover remarkable pieces: the Réveil Musical (7800BB), The Reine De Naples Sonnerie Au Passage (8978BB) and Minute Repeaters from the current collection.

Friends in Cooperstown
Among the estimated 18,000 fans who attended the National Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony for shortstop Barry Larkin and third baseman Ron Santo on Sunday afternoon were a number of their former big league teammates who couldn't pass up the opportunity to witness such a historic occasion for a friend.
Making the pilgrimage to Cooperstown, and soaking up the sun near the induction stage, were second baseman Glenn Beckert and catcher Randy Hundley, who, along with Santo, were parts of some great Chicago Cubs teams of the 1960s.
"I'm so honored that my ex-roommate and one of my greatest friends, Ron Santo, is being inducted. He's not here with us but he's probably watching from above," said Beckert of Santo, who passed away at the age of 70 in 2010. "When I first came to the Cubs in '65 – he had come up in '60 – he asked me to room with him. I told my mother and dad, and I thought it was a great honor. But after the third year I found nobody else on the team wanted to room with him.
"He was a great friend, and we teased each other a lot."
According to Hundley, election to the Hall of Fame was something Santo always wanted.
"He's very deserving of it, so we're here to celebrate it today. I feel like he's still here with us," Hundley said. "He was the best as far as I'm concerned. He could make any of the plays that needed to be made. He was an excellent fielder and took a lot of pride in it."
As for Santo's diabetes, Hundley explained he wasn't aware of it for a number of years while the two were teammates.
"He kept it a secret because he was afraid baseball wouldn't allow him to play," Hundley said. "It's amazing that he had to deal with it and how well he dealt with it. He did so much for diabetics all over the country."
When Larkin made his big league debut in 1986 with the Cincinnati Reds, the only team he would play for in his 19-year career, a number of veterans on that team, including outfielders Dave Parker and Eric Davis, would lend their support. Later in his induction speech, Larkin would acknowledge the pair's positive influence on his life.
"One of my baseball sons, Barry Larkin, has been elected to the Hall of Fame," Parker said just minutes before the ceremony's start. "I was with him in the beginning and he had a great 19 years in the majors and he's getting his just due, and that's a Hall of Fame induction.
"I just tried to put him under my wing and show him what it takes to be a major league player. And with his ability, he was destined to be a star."
This past weekend was the first time the longtime friends had a chance to catch up since Larkin's received the news of his Hall of Fame election in January.
"We saw each other last night for the first time since he was elected to the Hall of Fame and we just gave each other an embrace," Parker said. "We really didn't have to say anything. We just gave each other a big hug."
While Larkin was elected to the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers' Association of America in his third year of eligibility, Davis felt he should have gone in on the first ballot.
"This is not just for him – this is for everybody. And to be able to play 20 years in one city that you grew up in, having the success that you had, that's special," Davis said. "When you saw Barry, you saw specialness. I can't sit here and say that I knew that he was going to be a Hall of Famer, but you knew that he was going to be a special player."

Region code is a code encoded on DVD or BD titles, allowing discs to be played only in certain designated geographical regions.
This is done through a region code encoded in the DVD title by the DVD manufacturer; and players sold in a given region cannot play discs encoded for another region.
This arrangement enables the control of when and which region the DVD titles are released; and protects copyrights. For example, a movie is shown in cinema in the US this summer; and the DVD title is released in the US (therefore coded as "Region1") later in winter. But the same movie may be shown in cinema not until winter in Asia. Asian audience can see the movie in cinema only. With the DVD player coded to play discs for Asian region only (Region 3 and 6), they are not able to play the DVD title, which is coded Region 1.
For DVDs, the world is divided into 6 regions. (Region 1 to 6)
Similarly, there are region codes for Blu-ray discs. They are Region A, Region B and Region C.
If a region-coded disc is attempted to be played in a DVD player coded to play discs of a different region, an error message such as:
"Please eject the disc. Playback is not authorized in your region"
"Wrong Region"
"Region code error"
would be displayed. The disc could not be played by the player.
There is no way to change the region code of the player. Tampering the technical specification on the player would nullify the warranty of the product.
Therefore you are strongly advised to check the region code on the DVD or Blu-ray disc before you buy to ensure it can be played by your player. Make sure the region code on the DVD or blu-ray disc is the code listed on the player.
(See figure below for DVD and blu-ray disc packages showing region codes)
You can check region code of your player by referring to the label on the player. This label is located on the back or bottom of the player. (See figure below for region code shown on product label)
In case the player cannot play a disc of the correct region code:
Check whether it is only a particular disc is not playable, or several discs of the correct region code are not playable:

quote:How anyone could think that our offensive performance IMPROVED with JJ at the helm simply cannot see the forest for the trees.
quote:he wins against Arky and Georgia were a function of special teams play and defensive scores, which simply masked a more obvious problem -- the same problem we now see in this year's offense. Les interpreted those wins as reinforcement that his scheme was working, rather than a wake up call to effect changes. Arky and Georgia showed exactly what Bama had to do to shut us down, and they did.
quote:Maybe one day you can accept that it did. Maybe one day you will realize that the O wasn't any better with Lee in.
quote: what planet did you say you just flew in from? the JJ offense was nonexistent.
quote:And given that Les is blind or stubborn, or both, it's going to be a long, upsetting and frustrating season from here on out.
quote:I hate when people lie. Our best offensive performance of the season was against #3 Arkansas at the end of the season.
quote:Once JJ was entrenched as the starter, the offense was afwul
quote:There is too much raw talent on this team for the kind of output we have been seeing. In a nutshell, I think the problem is that *CLM does not know how to develop that raw talent to the next level, esp. on the offensive side. And from what I can see, he does not seem to foster a coaching culture at LSU in which he is willing to allow the other coaches on staff to do that for him.
quote:Maybe you should consider the fact that in the first eight games, we were normally so far ahead at the half that the second half play calling became very conservative, even more so than Miles' normal style.
quote:The deal is that he doesn't care if his offense is moving up and down the field scoring 50 points. Like, it'd be nice if it did, but Miles' offensive philosophy is to play great defense, and use your offense to control tempo and field position so you can shorten the game and minimize mistakes that can change the game. That's why we pound on people so much. To shorten the game and defeat teh will of the opposition. Even if it's a 8 play drive that ends up in a punt, that's a win because you changed field position and controlled the ball long enough to keep your D rested and in good field position. When they can't, there's no chance of doing anything in that game.
quote:After JJ became the starter we had our 3 best games on offense.

A concussion may occur when the head hits an object, or a moving object strikes the head. A concussion is a minor or less severe type of brain injury, which may also be also called a traumatic brain injury.
A concussion can affect how the brain works for awhile. It may lead to a bad headache, changes in alertness, or loss of consciousness .
A concussion can result from a fall, sports activities, or car accidents. A big movement of the brain (called jarring) in any direction can cause a person to lose alertness (become unconscious). How long the person stays unconscious may be a sign of how bad the concussion is.
Concussions do not always lead to loss of consciousness. Most people never pass out. They may describe seeing all white, all black, or stars. A person can also have a concussion and not realize it.
Symptoms of a milder concussion can include:
The following are emergency symptoms of a more severe head injury or concussion. Seek medical care right away if there are:
Head injuries that cause a concussion often occur with injury to the neck and spine. Take special care when moving people who have had a head injury .
The doctor will perform a physical exam. The person's nervous system will be checked. There may be changes in the person's pupil size, thinking ability, coordination, and reflexes.
Tests that may be done:
For a mild head injury, no treatment may be needed. But be aware that the symptoms of a head injury can show up later.
Your health care providers will explain what to expect, how to manage any headaches, how to treat your other symptoms, when to return to sports, school, work, and other activities, and signs or symptoms to worry about.
Both adults and children must follow the health care provider's instructions about when it will be possible to return to sports.
You will likely need to stay in the hospital if:
Healing or recovering from a concussion takes time. It may take days to weeks, or even months. During that time you may:
These problems will probably recover slowly. You may want to get help from family or friends for making important decisions.
In a small number of people, symptoms of the concussion do not go away. The risk of these long-term changes in the brain is higher after more than one concussion.
Seizures may occur after more severe head injuries. You or your child may need to take anti-seizure medicines for a period of time.
More severe traumatic brain injuries may result in many brain and nervous system problems.
Call the health care provider if:
Call the doctor right away if the following symptoms occur:
If symptoms do not go away or are not improving a lot after 2 or 3 weeks, talk to your doctor.
Although no child is injury-proof, parents can take some simple steps to help keep their children from getting head injuries .
Not all head injuries can be prevented. Increase safety for you and your child by following these steps:
Do not drink and drive. Do not allow yourself to be driven by someone who may have been drinking alcohol or is otherwise impaired.

Traditional Chai Recipe with Fresh Spices
A good friend revealed to me recently that she had never tasted any other type of Chai other than what was served her at the local coffee shop. Well, when I prepared this fresh chai recipe and shared a cuppa with her, I was not too surprised to find her loving it!
Directions for preparing 4 servings.
- 1 TBS Cardamom pods
- 1 TBS Ceylon Cinnamon chips ( 1" to 2" stick broken into pieces)
- 1 1/2 TSP Whole Cloves
- 1 TSP Whole Black Pepper
- 1TBS Finely chopped Fresh Ginger
- 2 TBS High Quality Black Tea, such as Darjeeling
- Sugar to Taste
- 3/4 to 1 cup warmed Whole Milk
- 3 cup of water
Bring the water to a boil in a small pan, lower heat to a gentle simmer. Grind the whole spices, just a few spins in a grinder will do - just enough to roughly grind the spices. Add 3 TSP of ground spices to the simmering water, ( reserve the rest for tomorrow's Chai ) cover and simmer on very low heat for 5 minutes.
Add the tea to the pot with spices, stir, remove from heat and pour into a carafe if using a french press, add the ginger. Place the press into the carafe but do not plunge. Let the ingredients steep for a couple of minutes. Add the warm whole milk, add sugar, stir and gently depress the plunger. Serve into pre-warmed mugs or cups. Enjoy your very own home made fresh Chai!

Sputum stain for mycobacteria is a test to check for a type of bacteria that cause tuberculosis and other infections.
Acid fast bacilli stain; AFB stain; Tuberculosis smear; TB smear
This test requires a sample of sputum.
The test sample is examined under a microscope. Another test, called a culture, is done to confirm the results. A culture test takes a few days to get results. This sputum test can give your doctor a quick, early answer.
It can help to drink a lot of fluids the night before the test. It makes the test more accurate if it's done first thing in the morning.
There is no discomfort, unless a bronchoscopy needs to be performed.
The test is performed when the doctor suspects tuberculosis or other Mycobacterium infection.
Results are normal when no mycobacterial organisms are found.
Abnormal results show that the stain is positive for:
There are no risks, unless bronchoscopy is performed.
To increase the accuracy of this test, it is sometimes done three times, often three days in a row.
There are more sophisticated tests that are sometimes used to stain sputum for mycobacteria. Check with your health care provider to see if these are available in the laboratory.

One evening in December, I found myself under the weather but with an unbreakable date. I had promised to take a fellow cheesemonger on his first visit to Drink. For anyone who hasn't been, Drink is an elegant bar in the Fort Point neighborhood of Boston with highly skilled bartenders and no drink list. One orders by indicating an ingredient or ingredients they're in the mood for – for me, that often means something like Bourbon or grapefruit juice. Then, the bartenders make cocktail suggestions based on these clues.
All I could muster up this particularly cold evening was,"I have a sore throat." A few minutes later, head bartender, John Gertsen emerged from the back with a steaming pot of negus. A warm, sweet and comforting blend of port, hot water, sugar and lemon, negus was a popular drink in Victorian times, and is mentioned in more than one of Charles Dickens' novels. In Dombey and Son, Mr. Feeder, "after imbibing several custard cups of negus, began to enjoy himself." Just as I did after imbibing my several wineglasses full of negus at Drink (I also slept like a baby that night)! (more…)

E.A.T World - English Crumpets, Lancashire Hotpot, and Bakewell Tarts!
Greetings from the land of Jane Austen! Yes! My fifth E.A.T World entry takes place in Jolly Old England, and I have really been looking forward to this one! Let's dive right in and have some tea and crumpets! How could we not?
So my crumpets aren't round. They are rectangular. Call them crumpet pop-tarts. Or crump-tarts! I used this recipe from Planet Veggie (with whole wheat pastry flour instead of all purpose). I tried preparing the skillet three ways: once with cooking spray, once with a little canola oil, and a couple of times with Earth Balance buttery spread. The Earth Balance version was by far the best. The first time I ate crumpets I thought they were the spongy work of the devil! But that was my own fault because I didn't make the batter soft enough, now crumpets and I are BFFs. Crumpetty tip: The batter should be just barely thicker than pancake batter.
Not in the mood for tea or spongy stuff? May I interest you in a Lancashire Hotpot instead?
Traditionally, the Lancashire Hotpot is a baked stew made with lamb or mutton, potatoes, carrots, turnips, onions or leeks, and covered with thinly sliced potatoes. Mmmm mutton. Not! The hotpot sounded great, but I needed to get rid of the meat. First I tried this recipe that calls for barley instead of meat and it was very tasty. Then I tried this recipe that calls for beans or lentils instead of meat and it was delicious too. Now I make my own version using whatever I have in the fridge and the pantry, and I always make them with lentils. Lancashire Hotpots are great for using up straggler veggies that need to be eaten ASAP.
For dessert? Bakewell Tarts! I made two mini tarts for our wedding anniversary, and they were deeeeelicious! According to the interwebs, the Bakewell Tart was named after the town of Bakewell (duh!) in Derbyshire, when an air-headed cook at the White Horse Inn accidentally messed up a recipe for a jam tart in 1820. It was one of those fortunate mistakes. After such lucky buffoonery the Bakewell Tart became a very popular dessert at the inn. I think the dude was just winging it! :)
There is a Bakewell Tart and a Bakewell Pudding, I am still a little confused about that but I am 99% sure that the one I made is the tart. Honestly, I don't really care too much, as long as I get to eat them you can call them Fred if you want.
From Wikipedia: "The tart version consists of a shortcrust pastry shell, spread with jam and covered with a sponge-like filling enriched with ground almonds (known as frangipane). They may also be covered with nuts such as almonds and peanuts. Alternative flavours, including blackcurrant, strawberry and apple are also produced."
For the crust I used the same shortbread crust recipe that I use for all my sweet tarts and pies, and you can find it here. The fruit filling is blueberry jam (1/4 cup per mini tart) which was very tasty, but next time I will make a chocolate ganache filling instead, just for kicks. The best part of the tart was the frangipane topping. Oh. My. Tart! I had never made frangipane before and I had no idea what it was, but Shellyfish came to the rescue with this awesome blog post and frangipane recipe! I only needed half of Shelly's recipe for two small tarts. Raise your hand if you miss Shellyfish! *overwhelming number of hands raised*
You know what else is in Derbyshire? Pemberley! Mr. Darcy's home! Well, not really. Pemberley and Mr. D. were a product of Jane Austen's imagination, but Mr. Darcy's digs are believed to have been based on Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. Chatsworth House was even used as Pemberley for the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice. Here she is:
Well, even though there is still so much to see and taste here, it's time to leave England and move on to my next destination. I found some new E.A.T World participants through google reader and a google search, but please do let me know if you're participating because I don't want to miss out on any fabulous world cuisine! This challenge has been so much fun, and it has shown me that I have been sheltered and narrow-minded, and stuck eating the same foods and using the same cooking methods for years. So many new ingredients! So many new cooking techniques! So little time!
Check out a few impressive entries from some fellow E.A.T World'ers:
DJ's awesome Chinese food post will give your salivary glands a good workout. Mini pink rabbit buns, anyone?
Krys' made some rockin' Jamaican food that will have you wishing you could lick your computer screen and taste it (don't forget your sunscreen lotion!)
Mike has really been to the Czech Republic and he's treating us to some delicious goodies! Drinks are on Mike!
Cassie hit three spots in one imaginary trip! Brazil, Bolivia and Botswana! That is some serious E.A.T World butt kicking! Awesome!
Stef has become a sauerkraut convert only after her first E.A.T World entry! Score! Her trip begins in Germany.
Sophia hit Thailand, Pakistan, China, and Portugal, all in one post! So much goodness in harmonious perfection!
See you next time, it may be time for another crafty post!

Hee hee! I couldn't help but think of your 'Mary Poppins' voice/accent while I read this post (which you know I love! I dare not let you hear my dreadful American accent!).
I love E.A.T World, and wondering where you might be going next ~ "It's like International Grab-Bag Night at Al's. It's food and a game all in one!" (Lorelai Gilmore).
Your post today is very familiar territory for me, having lived very near to 'Pemberley' for a while. I can't drive through Bakewell without saying 'home of the tart!' *Chortles*
Rectangular crumpets? That's just not cricket! LOL! I haven't had a Bakewell Tart in donkey's years, but yours looks so good I'm seriously craving one now!
I hope you will visit for real some day and check out Chatsworth and Jane A's house in person :)Aw, I miss Shellyfish too!! And her mom! Man, whatever happened to her. It makes me so sad when when bloggers stop blogging...like losing a friend. Thought I'd lost you til I discovered your crafty alter-ego. :-)
This food (and your photos) look amazing! Just simply divine. I must make crumpets, as I've never had them. I clicked through to the recipe, but noticed it's all European in measurements (guess I should expect that with a crumpet recipe!). But I'm not sure how much 4 ounces of flour is? How'd you convert it?I LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVE crumpets!! They are especially good with a tonne of soy margarine and golden syrup on!! Do you know something horrifying, some people eat them with marmite!! There are some sick people out there!!
Your bakewell tart looks awesome too, I haven't had that since before I was veg. Must have a go at making.Jenn - *sigh* I guess Derbyshire will have to do for now... oh the hardships! :D
Lisa - I am obsessed with the Lancashire Hotpot! The lentils version is the best, for sure.
Ricki - I hope you enjoy the hotpot as much as I do, I can't get enough of it! Doesn't Fred look yummy? :P
Thanks for the question! Oddly enough, it would probably be England! It would be great to take some sort of Jane Austen tour and "stalk" her properly.
Becks - Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! You made me want to watch the International Grab-Bag Night at Al's episode! Rebellious rectangular crumpets! Can crumpets be badass and rebellious or are they too fancy for that? I'm ready for my Jane Austen's House visit... to bad I ain't gettin' on no plane! :D
Jeni - Oh stop! You must tell everyone that! :D
Let's all pester Shelly and convince her to come back! :)
Bianca - Thank you! Yes, you must make crumpets! I didn't really convert anything, I let my super duper kitchen scale do the conversions for me, because I'm lazy like that. We should start a "We Want Shellyfish Back" petition! :)
Sal - Marmite? Noooooo! The tarts were super easy to make and I think I made them in just under an hour! Score!Thanks for the trip to England! Most of the English accents in my head belong to members of Monty Python, so I had fun reading this :)
Everything looks fabulous, as usual! Love the crumpets and the Bakewell tart, or just possibly pudding, and the Lancashire hotpot looks like something I would really enjoy, even with the neon potatoes. Bakewell looks like a beautiful place, as does "Pemberley" :)
Thanks for the all the EAT world links, too! I'll check them all out. Now I need to finally read some Jane Austen, and when I do I'll be sure to have tea and those crumpets. Cheerio!Tarts, and hotpots, and crumpets... oh my! Would you believe I have never had any of them?? PaTHETic!!!
Luckily I have the day off today -- I think I need to make me a hotpot.
hehehe, Becks! I love the GG reference. I miss that show sooooo much! Almost as much as I miss Shellyfish's posts. :(Mike - I hope the accents in your head are better than the ones in mine! The Lancashire Hotpot has become a favorite comfort food for me, it has everything I want in a winter dish. Even neon potatoes! I hope you enjoy Jane Austen! :)
Mihl - I had no idea what "Bakewell" meant either! Crumpets with marmite? It's OK, I won't tell Sal! :)
Lisa - I hope you had the chance to make yourself a hotpot. It's not pathetic! I had never had crumpets, Bakewell tarts or hotpots either until recently, but I'm glad I found them! :)
Krys - Thank you! The crumpets are kind of spongy, so if you do drool, you can just wipe it off with a crumpet! :P
Jes - You just can't pass on veggies and sauce and potatoes! Let's bring back afternoon tea indeed... will you bring the bread, oh Bread Queen? :D- Gauri Radha गौरी राधाMay 7, 2011 at 1:28 AM
Vegan crumpets and neon potatoes--sounds terrific to me :D

McFADEN MAKES NEWS BOARD The new member of the "News" board from the Class of 1917 is Natalie Mc- Faden. Miss McFaden was appointed to take the place of Sarah Hlnde, who has gone on the Editorial Board of the "Tipyn o' Bob". For two years Miss Mc- Faden has been the class track captain and last year she was class secretary. In 1914 she was the secretary of the Chris- tian Association and two weeks ago she was elected Christian Association Presi- dent CHRI8TIANITY DEFINED Dr. Burleson Says It Is Not Merely Per- sonal Dr. Hugh Burleson, Secretary of Mis- sions of the Episcopal Church, took as his text Sunday night the last earthly words of Jesus, "And ye shall be witnesses of me". Christianity, he said, is not the at- tending to personal spiritual culture, but the transmitting of our religious faith and love to others who have less or none. Christianity does not exist to make men good, but to make them good for something. "We may keep lumps of dirt which men call land, stones which men call houses and metal which men call money, without sharing them, but we can not keep our Christianity unless we are giving it away. Just as muscular dex- terity and mental ability grow in the spending, so does Christianity". Missions the Price Mark of Religion "Missionary interest is the price mark you put on your own religion, your de- sire to share It is the sign of its value. . . . We have no right to be blind al- leys of grace up which Christ walks to meet a blank wall with nothing beyond". Dr. Burleson showed that the world has been worshipping false gods. The king- dom of God, he said, does not come by education, civilisation, or commerce, but by the one thing that has not been tried, Christianity�not Christianity but Chris- tians have failed In the past "Civilisa- tion in a day fell into chaos" because "Ood has been making his world a neigh- borhood much faster than we have been making It a brotherhood''. F. Fuller Notable in Farcical Role The Olee Club's production last Satur- day of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Mikado", praised by its coach, Mr. E. S. Grant, as the best amateur performance he had ever trained, though amusing and smoothly presented, was not striking for acting or costuming. The singing, how- ever, especially of the choruses, was un- usually good and F. Fuller's spirited in- terpretation of the Lord High Execu- tioner maintained the interest of the opera throughout. To the sustained comedy of this part the less lively charms of the "second trombone", M. Jacobs, '15, furnished a picturesque foil. Her high, flexible so- prano was particularly sweet in "A Wan- dering Minstrel I", and her sure touch In acting was appreciated when she showed what she'd "never, never do", in the duet with Yum-Yum. Yum-Yum, C. Eastwick, '18, cannot be fairly criticized because of the fact that her voice had almost given out in re- hearsals. Considering this handicap, it is remarkable that so much of its pleasing quality remained and that the appeal of her acting was not lost. Together with Yum-Yum, Pitti-Slng and Peep-Bo, T. Smith, '17, and E. Dabney, '19, attained the necessary daintiness for the "Three little maids from school". For once T. Smith had a part entirely suited to her skill and grace. The pompous comedy in the parts of Pooh-Bah and Pish-Tush was adequately brought out by E. Biddle. "19, and by A. Kerr, '18. The Mikado, E. Pugh, '15, al- though she adopted the musical comedy method of practically speaking her songs, was particularly effective in "making the (Continued on Page S) ART PARALLELS CIVILIZATION �WHAT'S IN A PAGODA"? High Praise for Model School from B. M. Graduate In a clever and comprehensive article in "The New Republic" for April 1st, Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant, '03, describes the aims and methods of the Model School. "It is, if you like", she says, "a labora- tory experiment in modern methods of teaching, the type of experiment which contains the germ of the future. It looks to the future when education shall emerge as an organic coordinated process instead of a Jumble of warring forces". School a College in Embryo "A school need not be a forcing house", she went on to demonstrate, "but a warm, rich soil for the mind to grow in, a sort of college in embryo. ... In this school intellectual curiosity plays like lightning around the room, runs like quicksilver through the veins". In regard to the school child's entrance into college, Miss Sergeant prophesies amusingly; "When girls who have used their minds creatively Instead of receptively for seven years reach the lecture system something spectacular is going to happen, something very like the famous meeting between the Immovable body and the Irresistible force". And the model school child is prepar- ing not only for college but for society too. �/?This we know from a young stu- dent who recently wished to change her hours for gymnastic exercise in order that she might attend the class for good man- ners, which consisted In tea parties. Fine Slides Illustrate Cram's Lecture The distinct appeal of Mr. Cram's lec- ture Saturday evening was largely due to his vivid way of connecting whatever he had to say on "Gothic Architecture" with the civilization and society which pro- duced it The slides shown were unusu- ally good and illustrated Gothic architec- ture in the abbeys and cathedrals of the England of the Middle Ages. In speaking of American architecture, Mr. Cram praised the Colonial or Georgian type as really American. The Georgian style in England, he said, had become decadent and worn-out, but America had vitalized It and made it her own. In 1830 came the end of the break- down of Renaissance tendencies, and Gothic church plans were sent over from England to America. The style was called Victorian Gothic. "It was Victo- rian", said Mr. Cram, "but It wasn't Gothic". "The rising of a new Gothic tendency, however", Mr. Cram went on to explain, "was the first evidence in visible form of what was bound to take place in the whole make-up of society. The passing of classical or instinctive art was a fore cast of the breakdown of modern civiliza- tion. The coming of the Gothic was a forecast of what is to happen". Nightmare of Acquisition After pointing out the similar break- down, later on, of music in Germany and poetry in England, saying that in bis opin- ion Brahms and Browning were the last great commanding figures, Mr. Cram turned to the situation to-day. "None can predict", he said, "the line that we shall follow in order to extricate ourselves from the nightmare folly into which we have plunged ourselves through our in- sane Intellectuality. We have forgotten character in acquisition; we have piled up potential forces, both material and in- tellectual, with no knowledge of what we were getting them for. "There are two openings for us: either to learn to use our acquired power, to work towards construction; or, if we do not heed the warning of the war, to pay the same price in the same coin as those on the other side are paying". Mr. Cram believed that we would heed the warning and that after the war a new era In art would begin. Old Architecture Foundation of New Before showing the slides Mr. Cram (Continued on Page 4) M. O'SHEA AND M. LOUDON WIN MA8EFIELD PRIZE The winners of the Masefleld Competi- tion, announced in Chapel Monday morn- ing, are Monica B. O'Shea, '17, with her story of Ireland, "The Crown of Bells", and Margaret London. '16, with a poem, "The Return". Miss Loudon's poem will appear In the next issue of "Tipyn o' Bob". As Mr. Masefleld has gone back to Eu- rope, It has not been decided when the prizes will be given out. UNDERGRADUATES DISCUSS SUS- PENSION Daisy Chain Abolished Isabel Whlttler, 1919, has been sus- pended from College for two semesters because of breaking the rules of the Senate, by quotation without acknowl- edgement In a critical paper on the bal- lads. Miss Whittler was called before the Senate Monday afternoon and on Monday evening, at a meeting of the Un- dergraduate Association called for other business, her suspension was considered. Latest Report Prevents Petition A resolution passed to petition the Sen- ate to reconsider its decision on the ground of the technicality of the offense was rescinded later in the evening when the facts of the case were more fully learned. In view of the contradictory re- ports going about, It was voted that the Undergraduate Association should ask President Thomas if she could send to the president of the Undergraduate Asso- ciation, In writing, the reasons of the Senate for suspension or expulsion. Why Is Sunny Jim? At tliis meeting it was also voted to abolish the daisy chain and to send two committees to President Thomas, one to consider changes in dally Chapel and the other to discuss the qualifications for the Helena Ritchie prize. The Association feels that the qualifications for "Sunny Jim", such as "high fortitude" and "cour- age", are too indefinite and vague. C. A. BOARD APPOINTS CHAIRMEN STORM SPOILS TRACK MEET Press Makes Veiled Comments The unprecedented fall of snow, which prevented the preliminary track meet from coming off last Saturday and frus- trated the financial hopes of Garrett En- dowment Flinders, received the following slight notice In the weather report of one of our leading papers: "The remarkable feature of the occurrence"�the Weather Bureau Is referring here to the unseason- able conditions of April 8th�"was the widespread snow which fell in the Middle AtlanUc States". The allusion to Bryn Mawr, though cleverly veiled, is unmistakable, for Pennsylvania Is one of the Middle Atlan- tic States. But why was no space given to the numerous storm centers and to the prevailing fall of spirits attending the dis- turbance ? The whole attitude of the press In regard to this affair Is baffling. Class Representation on Committees In accordance with the new constitu- tion, 1917, 1918, and 1919 have elected their representatives to the C. A. Cabinet, and the Board has appointed the chair men. Each committee will meet with the Board and the former head of the com- mittee some time before the Easter holi- day, so that they may be able to take up j their work immediately upon their return 'to College. The committees are as fol- . lows, the chairman's name appearing first in each case: Membership: M. Stair '18. C. Stevens '17, M. Thurman '19. Federation: J. Pea body '19, L. Collins 17, L. T.

It is great to see how theory is being tested and verified scientifically.
Ever since you brought the option of different explanations to the climate changes in our forum on Tapuz (You are more than welcome to present the implications of this on the forum - I promise a tag line thread!) I discovered how shallow the "science" of CO2 theory was and how deeply flawed the whole AWG meme was.
It is good to see there are still scientists who insist on putting their theory to the test instead of advocating.

Are there graphs of the cosmic ray flux on Earth over solar cycle(s)?
I am intrigued by reports that suggest nobody knows the direction of the source of most cosmic rays:
"A major factor affecting the path of cosmic rays is that they are charged and therefore swerved by magnetic fields. This most definitely affects any attempts to locate sources."
As you know, Shaviv, I believe the Sun has a pulsar core, for reasons given below [1], and I would like to know what fraction of Earth's "cosmic" rays are from the solar pulsar.

At the moment, these results say nothing about a possible cosmic-ray effect on clouds and ultimately on climate, although it's an interesting and novel first step.

I'm trying to understand this controversy. Real Climate has plotted a graph showing no trend in Neutron Monitors from 1965 to 1999 using data from Oulu and Climax.
Using the form on the Climax webpage at http://cr0.izmiran.rssi.ru/clmx/main.htm, I can get a similar graph to the Real Climate one if I graph using a resolution of one year and select to correct for pressure. It clearly shows the 11 year cycle and no overall no trend.
However, if I do not choose to correct for pressure then I get a completely different graph. Although the scales are different (correcting for pressure changes the y-axis to percentages), the 11 year cycle is much reduced and the graph is more complicated.
I found that I can also select "Atmospheric Pressure", and indeed it does massively vary from year to year. ~580 in 1972 to ~830 in 1975. I found this quite surprising especially given that these are averaged over a year but I am no an atmospheric scientist.
There may be some interesting feedbacks; cosmic rays cause clouds, cause rain, causes lower pressure or cosmic rays cause clouds, cause albedo effect, cause cooling, cause lower pressure. Maybe more clouds prevent cosmic rays reaching their monitor. I am finding this hard to understand.
Is it possible that the correction for pressure is diminishing the role of cosmic rays since the rays themselves may be a cause of pressure variations?
Please tell me that I am mistaken and that this is not at all like correcting the speed of my car by subtracting the speed at which the air passes over it :)
Thanks for reading.

This also implies that positive feedbacks to the GHG effect are much smaller than currently believed.

I have listened to many of your lectures... even read some of your papers and enjoyed your insights immensley.
I have gone from quietly accepting the consensus and feeling guilty for living, to furious with the deception that has led to a massive misapplication of resources.
I keep hoping for a paper by Shaviv, Svensmark and Kirby that nails the story of climate for good.
Meanwhile this might be worth a read

Hi Nir,
I've been looking into the Cosmic link very heavily and found this paper that claims to refute the cooling of climate due to the passage through the spiral arms of the galaxy.
Is there a response to this? Could you send me any relevant information?
I would actually appreciate opening up a discourse on this subject with you as I am a Skeptic and would like to get information straight from the best sources.

DOVER — Bail was set at $50,000 cash only Tuesday for Jeffrey Gelinas, who faces one misdemeanor count of indecent exposure for allegedly exposing his genitals to a young girl at a Central Avenue store Sunday afternoon.Though the 37-year-old pleaded not guilty to the charge, he did acknowledge being in the Bed, Bath & Beyond store at the time the incident was reported. He is also being considered a danger to the community.Due to his lengthy criminal record going back to the mid 1990s including his former nickname "Jack the Snipper" for being the sole suspect in a string of 2003 and 2004 burglaries at Durham apartments where an intruder cut or removed clothing from women as they slept, bail was increased $25,000 by Judge Stephen Morrison from what the prosecution had requested.Bail conditions also include a curfew from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. and prohibits Gelinas from having contact with the 11-year-old Dover victim or coming within 100 yards of her. He is also barred from entering city lines unless the purpose is to meet with an attorney. Should bail be posted, Gelinas will be assessed for entrance into the Strafford County Community Corrections program through which he would be monitored by GPS and undergo a mental health referral.

Ultimate Survival Alaska: Season 1 Interactive Map
gggggggtsorry about that... does any one know in what episode marty found the gold? Would really help. Thx. LOve this show
News alert! Just got wind of Second season guys! Met the three guys that are going to be in it! It is going to be epic.....love this show! And by the way one of the three guys was NOT Austin.....
I do not think that anyone should have come at the bottom position. Everyone is my favorite. But we can't help anyone from coming last
At first I thought that Marty risked too much. But then I realized that this is for the show, he wants to entertain us, so that's why he chose always the risky paths. So now I vote for Marty. But as an average tourist, who wants to visit the beautiful Alaska once, I think I would choose Willi as my guide. I love this show, thanks for all the participants and Nat Geo.
I was under the wrong impression that this was Marty`s blog /// Since it isn`t my previous comment and video is dedicated to all participants and fans of this awesome series (-:
Hey Marty-- My son (Amitai) and I just finshed watching all the episodes - We truly enjoyed and totally fell in love with Alaska /// We liked all 8 guys each for his own unique character and specialities- But you for sure added great drama - spirit and humor...Because you seemed to be the musical talent I`m sending you a link to a song I wrote a couple years back called -Alaska...Which we play with my band -The Dry Bones on the other side of the globe (Israel)...Hope you enjoy and hoping they`ll be more seasons to come - All the best http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLYEwzo4NuU
where were they in prince william sound? its such a huge area, we have been to the Kenai but didnt get to that area
I am a huge fan of the show; this is my absolute favorite show on television! Still, I am a little disheartened by the voting results as they are clearly rigged. Anyone who has seen the show would concur that Marty should not be anywhere near the bottom of the voting and likewise, Austin should not be anywhere near the top. Marty represents the true Alaskan spirit. I heard a rumor from a couple of my friends here in Medora that there might be a Season 2 of the show; if this is true and Austin does not make the cut, he surely will have a lot of explaining to do as to why his votes are exponentially greater than the rest of the cast. I do not understand the type of individual that likes to put others down to make themselves look better; in the end, those types of people are self-centered and discourteous to the others. I think Alaska represents everything that is real, everything that is authentic. That is the true spirit of Alaska and its people, which Marty very much represents. I can't wait to see if there is another season; if so, this may be very telling as to the true results of the voting! Go Marty! If Austin would have put a little more thought into his rigging, he would have rigged it so that he was perhaps slightly above Spot #2, but certainly not almost double the #2 spot. Come on, that makes it way too obvious; plan ahead next time Austin.
i wish the voting was different so that you could only see the top three.... i feel bad for Brent, or anyone who would have been last... Brent, if you ever read this- your not last in my book, none of you are :) <3
Vivo en la Patagonia Argentina y no he visto grandes personajes en ésta serie logren sorprenderme. Sin embargo creo que Austin se merece una mención especial.
Thanks Nat GEO for putting on a great Alaskan show. I enjoyed every show. Every show made you want to watch it to the end. The show has shown a lot of people of different ages how to survive out in the wilderness by your self. I give all of the guy's kudos to all of the men. Young and Old. You all are Alaskan Men. My family and friends and I favor the young buck ( Austin ) because he is my nephew. Love you Austin. Very proud of you. I know how much you love to be in Alaska. How exciting to be able to experience something like this. I know when you were out doing your guiding jobs you loved every minute of it. This was something so special you will never forget.. You were very blessed to be out in the wilderness will 7 special men. Young and Old. I think You All did a wonderful job staying alive!!! Nat GEO, I sure hope the 2nd season is as good as this one. Can't wait to see All the same guy's in it. Willi and Austin you both ROCK!! See ya next season. Good Luck To You All.
I am trying to create a flight simulation for the drop-off and extraction points starting with episode #1. Was the drop-off for episode 1 in water or land. I am trying to find the location exactly. I know the pick up location but need help with the drop-off point. I have the online map but it is not precise enouigh
This has been the perfect mix of true Alaskans-with their knowledge, respect of each other and the Alaskan environment, young and older. I have enjoyed each episode, and being an Alaskan for 20 years, have learned new survival skills/tips. I think the episode that truly touched me was when Marty's son went ahead and could not be found, and their reunion. Thanks for a great show~

It's been a long time since I fell in love with a television show but
thanks to this show that has all changed. I have truly enjoyed each
episode...so much so that when it airs again later in the evening, I
watch it again. Each man brought something special and I loved them all.
As tempting as it to vote for a favorite, I can't bring myself to
choose one over another.
I appreciate all of the cast members but Austin truly was my favorite
cast member. He demonstrated humility through seeking to learn from
those who knew more, really worked well in teams and seemed like the
most honest member of the cast. I only wish Austin was favored more by
viewers. I hope there is extra footage from the show and that they
continue to find support in exploring Alaska! Loved the show! Thanks National Geographic TV and Ultimate Survival Alaska Cast.
I truly loved this show and watching these men conquer this challenge, my first visit to Alaska will be the end of August and I will come with a new respect for Alaska and these men
I loved this show so much! I hope there will be many more seasons and it wasn't just a one time show. Also, if you could put up a video or list of what each man carried with them on the trip I would love that
Okay! I am impressed with all the upbeat and positive comments! Reflective of how awesome this show really is. Can not wait to see the last episode....the finale!!!!! So love to see that Matt is up there, I love this guy! I mean LOVE this guy!
This show is the BEST! These men are professional outdoors men. They are true comrades, revolving leadership and skills they bring to the event. Go NAT GEO! Hope you can figure out a way to bring the team back in another season.
I cant believe Marty is losing, it would be Marty, then a Seavey then maybe Tyler, but Austin is up on #2 by double?!? What is this American idol where we can just vote 8 million times. Even if you win you know you really lost Austin.
Let me get this straight. Ultimate Survival Alaska is about surviving in the Alaskan territory with no help. Yet when they are stranded on a beach, they curl up in a tent and wait to be saved. Disappointment. I, at the very least, expected the Seavey brothers to save the lot.
My favorites are Austin, Dallas, and Tyrell. As for Marty, well I don't think he's that awesome, makes a lot of mistakes to my way of thinking, thinks he's all that but comes up short in my opinion.
@Rosie Little Your wild accusations of vote rigging strike me as quite petty and bitter. Do you have any evidence? Can you demonstrate any occasion where Austin was anything but respectful to other cast members? Is it so hard to believe that other people may have different opinions? I'm not the biggest Austin fan but I much prefer him to Marty. I found Marty to be arrogant, loud-mouthed and not a little foolhardy, proving himself to be a liability on more than one occasion. The Seavey brothers were the true stand outs of this show for me, my friends and family who followed the show also tend to agree. Have a nice day anyways, different strokes I guess.
@Fredrick Aley If I remember right, they step off a float plane in the first episode. So maybe water.
@Rose Raintree I know what you mean Rose. Just want to say have a great time in Alaska. The anticipation is well worth the wait. It is so beautiful up there and you will not be disappointed.
@S. Nicks You might be right about the comments. BUT....what about the voting??? What do you guys think, where would YOU put your favorites if YOU were controlling the voting? Just curious.........come on, lets hear from you fans out there!
@Rob Spynal - To be honest with you, all the survivalists are winners. I have consistently maintained that the voting has tarnished what is an otherwise great show.
@Kat Krupa - The group was in a remote area where apparently it was not safe enough for the group to be picked up. It would have been foolhardy to leave with the inclement weather and with no way to contact anyone. They stayed in one place, together, where they were expected to be. I am sure it was a difficult decision but the right one. What would you have suggested they do?
@Billie Clifton Good choice on Dallas & Tyrell, they are an amazing team! Correct me if I am wrong, but hasn't all the cast made mistakes! Your favorites you just mentioned, one just dropped their knife in the last episode and got real cold because of it. Austin almost fell in a crevasse and wasn't wearing crampons, if I am not correct. Brent a& Tyler broke their paddles. Matt got lost. None of the cast comes up short, THEY are all hardcore men. Don't post to back up the reason why Marty is last. It is tacky and immature! TRY real hard to remember, each survivavor is portrayed as Nat Geo wants them to be portrayed! Bottom line that is, an ESTABLISHED FACT!
Let me guess...you've NEVER met Marty in person?! If you haven't your opinion is crap!!
@Mason T.. My family LOVES this show!!! All the men are GREAT!!! On our trip to Alaska we ran into Matt Raney! He is an awesome individual!!! However we wish they'd give him more of a roll in the show! I think all the men deserve to not have the voting be a part of this show! They are all out there doing the same thing...things that most of us likely can not do! I hope to see more and more seasons of this show! This show rocks!!!
@L. Weber @Rob Spynal - I couldn't agree with you more. Like I said before, I just started watching last week and I'm catching a few reruns today. Alaska is just so beautiful. I couldn't begin to attempt some of the things these men put themselves through. Most likely I would have broken a leg or been eaten by a bear in the first hour! I think they should take some of the folks who talk negatively about the contestants and put them on Ultimate Survivor and see how they do. When it's all said and done, it's still just a reality show made purely for entertainment purposes.
@Devon Rosen @Kat Krupa Yes, I think they for sure made the correct decision, the safest place to be...together & in one spot!
@Devon Rosen @Kat Krupa He'd rather see them get lost and die, makes for more entertaining TV. But seriously leaving that beach would have been the stupidest thing to do in a survival situation like that.
@Mason T. @Billie Clifton The only one I have trouble liking is Austin and maybe that is because he is so young, but only two years younger that Dallas, I believe. He also seemed much more clumsy in earlier episodes, but I wonder how much of that was staged so he could be the hero when he shot the goose with his bow. Either way, I respect him along with the rest of the group. This isn't a stroll in the park or a lazy Sunday hike. These guys are out there in unpredictable weather, hungry, wet, cold and possibly in territory that no other man has stepped foot in. I appreciate all of their unique personalities and survival skills. They each bring something to the rest of the group. I do have to say that Tyler is my favorite!!! I love that he is a risk taker, and being that he sometimes has to accept responsibility for those risks. But it sure does make for some fun times!!! I also think he is intelligent and able to fix things and see situations from a unique perspective. (i.e. getting the huge raft into the water, repairing the paddles he broke, and fixing the broken canoe his and Brent were given. I also just love listening to Marty and Willi; they have so much experience and insight to give to the rest of the group. I love the show, definitely my favorite!!! Keep up the great work guys!!!
@Steve Dyson @Mason T. Mason & Rosie are right...the voting is rigged! Anyone can sit at the computer and rack up hundreds and thousands of votes in just a few minutes. Look at earlier posts....this IS OLD NEWS! But all have got past it and been enjoying the show! Second season IS coming and will be the turning point for some of these cast members. And some will be missed.....
@Mason T. It was just that mate, my opinion. I have a right to it and you have a right to yours. I know who I'd rather be stuck in the wild with, go pick a fight elsewhere you keyboard warrior.
@Courtney Leaidicker - Here is what I found out on the survivalists:
Matt – spent 28 days on Mt. McKinley
Marty - led 17 trips up Denali, the highest peak in North America
Brent - done six 1,000-mile dog sledding expeditions for the Yukon Quest
Willie - led climbs to Mt. Sajama, Cho-Oyu, Island & Mera Peak and multiple guided ascents of Denali and in Mexico, Ecuador and Bolivia. Considered to be one of the world's leading climbing and logistical experts in the region
Tyrell - hiked the 2,200 mile Appalachian Trail and run the Iditarod a number of times
Tyler - climbed to 27,000 feet with no oxygen in Kathmandu, Nepal, and has climbed some of the highest peaks in Alaska
Dallas – at 25 became the youngest person to ever to win the Iditarod
Austin – No accomplishments found except to eat berries found in bear feces
@Courtney Leaidicker @Mason T. @Billie Clifton I totally agree...great analysis! You put Marty & Willie together that would spell out "Survival"!

The Mayan calendar ends in November ....... & not December.
So if the world was going to end, it would be today ... ( yesterday for me in Australia )
News for the 21st November 2012 ( the end of the Mayan calendar for 2012 ) & the end of the world.
Well the U.S dollar & the Euro were dumped as a the world reserve currency yesterday, the 12/21/2012.
& the Australian & Canadian currency's took over as the worlds reserve currency.
So i guess you could say the World did end in a way ... ( for the USA & Europe anyway. )
