Harsha Bhogle : Kohli's next challenge
Virat Kohli
India v Sri Lanka at Hobart
Commonwealth Bank Series
Turnarounds don't come any better. Fortunes don't change more dramatically. And emotions don't bear a starker contrast. At the halfway stage, Sri Lanka would have felt they had one foot in the final, having left the India bowlers deflated after a dominating performance with the bat. And they would have been right to think that way, the Indian batting having shown little promise in the series and the team on the brink of elimination.
But Virat Kohli put on an imperious display of strokemaking, his malleable wrists powering an Indian fightback conspicuous by its absence on what had been, until now, two forgettable overseas trips. Kohli's innings made a mockery of an imposing score, kept India's finals hopes alive and left Sri Lanka having to beat Australia for a third time in the tournament to knock India out.
Given India's poor outings with the bat in their recent games, one would have expected them to struggle to chase a target of 321 in 50 overs. They achieved it in 36.4 - needing to chase it in 40 to stay alive in the series - and did so with Kohli finishing things off in a blaze of glory. Kohli was in the zone; he dismissed anything that came his way with clinical precision, found the boundary at will whether the field was in or pushed back, ran swiftly between the wickets to catch the fielders off guard and middled the ball with scarcely believable consistency.
While Kohli was the protagonist in India's successful chase, the other characters played their due part. Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar would have wanted to do more but gave India the explosive start they desperately needed to stage a counterattack; Gautam Gambhir continued to be fluent, just four boundaries in a knock of 63 off 64 balls showing the toil behind the runs; and Suresh Raina, under pressure to perform, kept Kohli valuable company in a matchwinning stand.
If India were insipid with their bowling, Sri Lanka were far worse, as wides flowed, gift balls were doled out with regularity and the fielding buckled under the pressure of an unexpected fightback. Both innings were replete with fumbles, misfields, wayward throws - one of them, had it been on target, could have run Kohli out - making batting even more profitable on the easiest track in the series thus far. The brisk start to the chase and the subsequent consolidation by Gambhir and Kohli meant India were in with a fighting chance with two Powerplays still remaining, and both proved highly lucrative.
Kohli made both his own, first targetting Nuwan Kulasekara in the 31st over, which began with India needing 91 in 10 overs for a bonus point. He carted three consecutive fours as attempted yorkers failed to meet their desired lengths and served as tempting length balls. Two were whipped - in trademark Kohli fashion, a momentary turn of the wrists imparting tremendous force to the ball - and the other sliced over point in an act of improvisation.
The Sri Lanka fast bowlers misfired badly but even when they got it right, like an accurate yorker from Malinga, Kohli was able to shuffle across and expertly work it past the short fine fielder. He took 24 from Malinga in the 35th over, flicking him for six, sending one through the covers for four and then picking up three more fours past short fine, and finished the game with two thunderous drives through the off side. A pump of the fists was followed by a roar of elation and relief as MS Dhoni calmly trudged on to the field to join in the celebrations.
A win this dominating seemed a distant possibility when Kohli joined Gambhir at the fall of Tendulkar's wicket. Tendulkar had walked across too far to be caught plumb by Malinga, ending an innings in which Tendulkar seemed devoid of pressure and completely uninhibited in his approach. Sehwag and Tendulkar batted with freedom, the former smashing Malinga into the grassbanks behind deep midwicket in a fiery opening stand of 54, and Tendulkar going over the top on the off side, and displaying an adeptness in picking Malinga's variations. But at 2 for 86 in the 10th over, with India's two most experienced batsmen back in the pavilion and the required-rate still very high, Kohli and Gambhir faced a daunting task.
That both took little time to get going was crucial in maintaining the tempo that had been set. Gambhir steered Kulasekara for four off his third delivery before punching one past midwicket, and Kohli warmed up with one of several whips off Malinga off his second ball. The pair didn't get bogged down despite a 35-ball boundary drought, running swiftly between the wickets, converting ones into twos by putting the outfielders under pressure and making the fielders inside the circle appear redundant by stealing quick ones.
Kohli broke that drought with a drive off Thisara Perara past extra cover and later clobbered Angelo Mathews over the wide long-off boundary. At the halfway stage in the chase, the pair had notched up half-centuries, laying a solid foundation for the onslaught to follow with ten Powerplay overs still remaining. After Gambhir fell to an accurate throw while trying to steal a second, Raina infused the innings with greater urgency, providing a quicker partner at the other end to Kohli and indulging in some power play of his own to help hasten the finish.
The Kohli show overshadowed an assured and commanding performance by Sri Lanka with the bat, and centuries from Tillakaratne Dilshan and Kumar Sangakkara, who capitalised on a palpably below-par show from India's bowlers.
Dilshan shrugged off his initial unease against the swinging ball to gradually open up and march towards his 11th ODI century and Sangakkara played an innings as attractive as several of his abruptly terminated cameos this tournament, only longer in duration this time, full of confidence and more pleasing on the eye. The determination and focus of trying to bat India out of the game was unwavering in their innings, and the smiles on their faces and the India players' drooping shoulders suggested a one-sided game. But body-language is not always a reliable indicator, for it had taken an about turn in three hours' time.

Seed Technology is Vital for Developing Country Farmers
WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 22, 2012) – Farmers using improved seeds and biotech crop varieties continue to see significant economic and on-farm environmental benefits, according to the seventh annual report on crop biotechnology impacts prepared by UK-based PG Economics.
According to Graham Brookes, director of PG Economics and co-author of the report, amajority (55 percent) of the 2010 farm income gains went to farmers in developing countries. Ninety percent of these are resource poor on small farms.
"The advantages of advanced seed technology for farmers in developing countries come at a time when food availability is becoming more of an issue around the world," says Dr. Cathleen Enright, executive vice president for food and agriculture for the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO).
"The population continues to grow, but for many farmers, their ability to produce food remains stuck in the past. In order to double food production by 2050 to meet demand, new seed technologies must be utilized."
The PG Economics report on crop biotechnology impacts also highlights agricultural biotechnology's contributions to environmental sustainability.
"Because biotech-enhanced plants have a built-in resistance to pests, growers are using fewer chemical sprays, which is better for the environment. Also, biotech crops thrive without the need for tilling the soil. This uses less fuel on the farm and allows carbon to remain in the soil, enhancing both air and soil quality."
The PG Economics annual global impacts report quantifies the impact of agricultural biotechnology on the environment and on farmer incomes since biotech's commercialization in 1996. Among the key findings:
In 2010, this was equivalent toremoving 19.4 billion kg of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or equal to removing 8.6 million cars from the road for one year.
As a result, the environmental impact associated with herbicide and insecticide use on the area planted to biotech crops decreased by 17.9 percent.

I added 1 tsp of vanilla and reduced the sugar to half. The caramelization of the bananas make these pancakes my favourite! I won't ever be mashing the bananas again. My 1 year old LOVES them. Delicious!
romigkat6 Sep, 2009
Placing the sliced bananas on the pancakes while they're in the griddle makes them deliciously caramelized. It also makes them stick to the spatula. (I tried mixing them into the batter and it was a soggy mess. It's definitely worth the trouble to add them in the pan.)

Is there a map that shows the hunting blocks around the national parks? I am especially interested in the ones around Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe.
I have walked in the tracks of the elephant, heard the lion roar and met the buffalo on his terms. I shall never be the same.

Zimbabwe Hunting Areas Map
Zimbabwe Hunting Areas
Zimbabwe defines three categories of land where hunting is permitted; National Parks Safari Areas, Communal (tribal) Land and Alienated (private) Land. Each have their own regulations as to when hunting is allowed.
National Parks Safari Areas
National Parks Safari Areas are land in more remote marginal areas, unsuitable for agriculture but ideal for game and hunting operations on a sustainable off-take basis.
Trophy hunting may take place from half an hour before sunrise until half an hour after sunset during the hunting season.
Hunting is not allowed at night and no hunting is allowed with artificial light.
No Planes, electronic calls, night vision scopes, spotlights, etc are allowed to be used to assist in hunting.
Hunting from a vehicle is not permitted, though the vehicle can be used to reach the area from where hunting on foot can begin.
Shooting an animal from a vehicle is not permitted, a person actually needs to be 55 yards (50 meters) away from a vehicle to shoot an animal.
No animal may be chased or driven by a vehicle.
Hunting is not permitted within 440 yards (400 meters) of any designated water place.
Hunting with dog(s) is not permitted.
Handguns are allowed as a back up but not for the actual hunt.
Bowhunting is not permitted.
Communal (tribal) Land
Communal (tribal) Lands are traditionally held by indigenous people. Government grants authority to local District Councils to assume responsibility for the management and utilization of the wildlife. With assistance from National Parks the council decides on a sustainable annual quota of animals to be hunted and offers them to safari (hunting) operators on a tender basis. The funds thus generated go to benefit local development, such as building bridges and schools and installing grinding mills, and also to compensate local families whose crop production has been reduced by marauding wildlife. This scheme is known as CAMPFIRE (Communal Areas management Plan For Indigenous Resources).
Within the parameters of various wildlife protection laws, the safari operator set the standard of what he considers ethical.
On hunting designated Communal (tribal) Land, trophy hunting may take place within the hours of daylight during the hunting season.
Hunting is allowed at night for nocturnal species such as Lion, Leopard, Bushpig, etc. and the use of artificial light and night vision scopes is permitted.
Hunting with a handgun is permitted.
Bowhunting is permitted.
Alienated (private) Land
Alienated (private) Lands are held by individuals. Game hunting quotas are based upon what the landowner deems appropriate and subject to the approval of the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZPWMA).
Within the parameters of various wildlife protection laws, the landowner set the standard of what he considers ethical. The safari operator may also apply his own standard in addition to the landowner, if not the same person.
Methods of hunting, such as bowhunting, handgun hunting, hunting with dogs for cats, hunting at night with artificial light are all permitted and at the discretion of the landowner.

Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe
Location of the Gonarezhou National Park and surrounding communal lands in the southeast lowveld of Zimbabwe.
Gonarezhou National Park is situated in the south eastern lowveld of Zimbabwe and covers an area in excess of 5,000 square kilometres. "Gonarezhou" meaning "Place of many Elephants" is an extremely scenic Park full of rugged and beautiful landscapes.
Alternative folklore suggests the are was named for the herbalists who would stock their medicines in tusks (known as gona in the Shona language).
Three major rivers - The Save, Runde and Mwenezi - cut their courses through the Park, forming pools and natural oases from which hundreds of species of birds, wildlife and fish gather to feed and drink. As its name implies, Gonarezhou is famous for its elephants, and many of the largest-tusked elephants in the region maybe found within the Park.
The Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park (GLTP)
Gonarezhou National Park is part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park (GLTP), a massive Pan-African Park that includes South Africa's famed Kruger National Park and Mozambique's Gaza. This huge area is set to become one of the finest "peace parks" in the world and is dedicated to conservation, biodiversity and the economic development of the surrounding local communities. The vast and diverse nature of the mega-park will provide world-class eco-tourism to the visitor and strive to re-establish historical animal migration routes and fragile regional ecosystems.
The combined Park will include more than 500 species of birds, 147 species of mammals, at least 116 species of reptiles, 34 species of frogs and 49 species of fish.
Flora and Fauna
Lion, leopard, cheetah (including the rare king cheetah), buffalo, giraffe, zebra and many species of large antelope are also present within the Park. The rare nyala and smaller suni are two of the highlights of the Park's smaller antelopes. In addition, hundreds of species of birds may be spotted in the Park. Unique species of aquatic wildlife such as the Zambezi Shark, Freshwater Goby, Black Bream and the unique turquoise killifish can be seen within the Park's rivers and pools.
Chilojo Cliffs
One of the most prominent and enduring natural features of Gonarezhou National Park is the beautiful Chilojo Cliffs. These magnificent red sandstone cliffs have been formed through eons of erosion and overlook the scenic Runde River valley.
Gonarezhou experiences mild, dry winters and warm, wet summers (temperatures in excess of 40 degrees Celcius can occasionally be expected). Mabalauta and Chipinda areas are open throughout the year. During the rainy season (November - April), access to certain parts of the Park is restricted and the visitor should consult with the Park's offices before undertaking game drives.
Bilharzia is endermic to all lowveld rivers and visitors should take appropriate precaution. In addition, malaria can be present within the region so visitors are advised to take prophylactics before, during and after their stay in the Park.

Abombdelux | #4 Subject: Im a Xeno man Posted: 02/02/2005 22:08:27 |
Xenosaga and Xenogears were great games, and i think if someone has never played them, to try it out before condemming it.
GameOver81 | #5 Subject: Perfect Works Posted: 02/03/2005 00:35:11 |
does anyone know if the Xenogears Perfect Works has been translated into English or not?
Abombdelux | #6 Subject: Maybe Posted: 02/03/2005 22:36:04 |
I dont know i never heard anything about it lately.
g10tto | #7 Subject: Rumor Posted: 02/06/2005 16:30:52 |
So I heard that Xenogears is actually Episode 5 in the series. Something about "Episode V" in the corner while the credits are rolling for the game. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Rykel | #8 Subject: Epsoide 5 Posted: 02/11/2005 19:42:29 |
That is a common miss conception that some people have but If you were to have read some of the perfect works you would know what it means.
EPISODE I ============ PERIOD OF THE INTERSTELLAR WAR 15,000 Years ago EPISODE II ============ THE ORIGINS OF A NEW ERA 10,000 Years ago EPISODE III ============= THE ZEBOIM CIVILIZATION 4,000 Years ago EPISODE IV ============ THE SOLARIS CAMPAIGN 500 Years ago EPISODE V =========== XENOGEARS Present EPISODE VI ============ FUTURE You can read more at http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/xenogears_pw_a.txt |
g10tto | #9 Subject: !!! Posted: 02/12/2005 15:39:31 |
But how do 5,000 years pass from the first to the second episode, when you play with the same characters? I mean, just looking at it, it seems logical. But I don't understand the huge fast forward.
Aside from that, I have good news. I preordered XSII w/ DVD from EBgames.com! Yay me! I have a friend who loves the game, but isn't much of a gaming type. So I'm going to loan her the DVD to the first game, and hope she'll try out the second episode. When I get an hour or so past the intro, I'll give a quick little preview to the clubbies without the game. |
01_aNgel | #10 Subject: Bad Rating?? Posted: 02/16/2005 10:52:17 |
Xenosaga got a dissapointing rating from 1up... I hope it isn't as bad as they make it out to be... going to pick it up today to see how it is.. let's hope 1up is wrong about this game
g10tto | #11 Subject: Do not fear! Posted: 02/16/2005 17:49:59 |
I haven't received my copy in the mail yet, but I DO know for a fact that XSII will be as good or better than the first one. The reason 1up says this IMO is because the game is 10 hours shorter than the last game, and develops more on the characters we know already as opposed to the new ones we're to meet. That's my guess, anyway.
g10tto | #12 Subject: cont. Posted: 02/16/2005 18:01:57 |
To emphasize, the person who reviewed this game thought the last one was boring and had bad methods of storytelling through cinematics. This person also complains that cinematics are too frequent and wishes there was more gameplay.
Every person who didn't like the first game complained about these elements. So I've concluded that the game isn't poorly produced, just the game review. So now my question is why did they get someone to review a game, whose predecessor they already disliked? |
KillJade | #13 Subject: well.. Posted: 02/17/2005 03:51:06 |
to be fair, the game has gotten all round poor reviews. despite how the 1up review was written, the game doesnt live up to its full potential. that being said i still picked it up because im fan of the series.i figured that atleast 1 or 2 of the titles in the series would be really weak(there is no way the could possibly keep up the quality through all 6 games). but i will have to get them all anyways.
g10tto | #14 Subject: ... Posted: 02/17/2005 16:24:32 |
Well, when I receive my copy, I'll tell you what I think. Hopefully today or tomorrow. ^^''''''
xSeraphx | #15 Subject: i dunno... Posted: 02/18/2005 16:55:53 |
but i really like the game so far. they story is complex and suspensful. the battle system is deeper than i expected, given the reviews... and the graphics arent really important tho' it is a nice plus ^_^
g10tto | #16 Subject: 2 hours in... Posted: 02/18/2005 22:49:48 |
I got my copy in the mail today and immediately checked out the DVD. It's got the 4 1/2 hour movie you'd expect, plus the Japanese voiceovers, english subtitles, and a trailer from XS2.
I'll start off with the things that made me groan, though few they are. In the very beginning of the game, chaos has apparantly been lobatomized. He talks. like. this. and. has. no. facial. expression. His speech picks up, but he and the other characters seem to lack the types of body language that made even the bad models of the last game emote-able. Also, the character customization is slightly disappointing. Everyone has the same abilities, so every time you get skill points, your pretty much buying the same skill times like six. Needless to say, it gets old, and it doesn't make the characters distinguishable. It would be better if the developers just took out customized levelling instead of dealing with this. In battle, team attacks look great, but theyre too hard to prepare and you'll have to memorize the pairings. The whole visual style is pretty nice. At times it feels a little unfamiliar to the last game because of all the changes. Speaking of changes-MOMO, chaos, Shion, and KOS-MOS all got new voice actors, which don't take away from the performance one bit! Good job, Namco. Cinematics are now full of action. The music, even though sometimes muted to the background, is very ethereal and cued /perfectly/. Lip-syncing is still off, but we all know that doesn't matter. I've realized why they didn't keep the same costumes on the new models. Because they're so ugly with them! KOS-MOS hair is like a fiber optics lightshow, but otherwise they all look skanky and dull. Finally, the story is progressing along nicely. I was worried that everything would be so condensed and fast-paced. But to me, it feels like things are just rolling along, which is good. The new characters are pretty interesting, and each character is still advancing their little part of the plot-like Allen and Shion, MOMO and Ziggy. I was super pessimistic when I popped it in my PS2. Overall, though, I'm pretty satisfied. It feels like it should and the story is familiar. Xenosaga lives! 8.5/10 |
g10tto | #17 Subject: ^^ It gets GOOD! Posted: 02/19/2005 14:46:37 |
A last note on the game, after hitting it for about 6 hours so far: After you get three hours into the game, to the point where Shion visits the UMN Station, the story REALLY picks up. And I mean, better sequences than the last game. So much is revealed that will turn your perceptions of the characters on their heads!
You MUST play this game! |
Elei | #18 Subject: New Art Book! Posted: 02/21/2005 23:27:38 |
For those of you who enjoy collecting series artbooks they released a new one for episode 2 on the 18th of this month. It's retailing for 2500 yen on amazon.co.jp.. you can also find it for around $37 + $15 shipping on eBay. It's 160 mostly color pages and hard back. I love this sort of stuff so I thought I would share.
In other news I beat the game for the first time around on early Sunday morning around 6 AM. I'm figuring I should wait until a few more people have finished with it before really doing a lot of intensive spoiler type discussions though. I have to say I am really enjoying the series and honestly rather confused as to how much bad press it seems to be getting. I think for people who aren't dialogue intensive I can see how it can drag pretty badly. You have to take into consideration they've really taken a similar amount of dialogue as was in Xenogears and put it into motion. I don't see this as a bad thing... especially with the option to pause in a cut scene if need be. I LOVE the new combat system as well... I think the shared elements from XG really add a nice element to it... not to mention once you get used to the 'break system' trying to inflict as much damage as possible is quite amusing. I was a bit thrown off by some of the voice acting changes (KOSMOS especially) but after some time to adjust it really isn't that bad. It seems that everyone toned down a bit.. even the actors that stayed. I have to say that the new girl for Shion fits the character design this go around quite nicely. I could go on and on about how beautiful the attention to detail is in many areas... the cinema cut music.. etc. etc. but I think I'll end it there for now and open it up for further discussion. |
KillJade | #19 Subject: So far... Posted: 02/23/2005 01:25:55 |
...so good. the battle loading times are killing me. the game wont run well on my HDD either. the loads times are gone on the HDD but the game tends to freeze up alot. im still trying to fully understand the break system tho ^^
01_aNgel | #20 Subject: Just started... Posted: 02/24/2005 02:19:21 |
so far xenosaga II is looking pretty good... don't really like MOMO's voice though, does anyone get the feeling she's lost her innocent caring nature?? Load time is killing me... story is progressing, slowly but progressing... what is killing me is those good samaritan quests, makes me want to rip sumone's face off... other than that, so far so good =D
KillJade | #21 Subject: a little further Posted: 02/24/2005 18:28:09 |
im 10hrs in now and its still good. i did a few of the GS quests(some are really annoying >.<), and i understand the battle system better. still not a pro at it yet(i mean they still hit for 17-50dmg at lvl 17 sometimes). Kos-Mos new VA sucks...she lost that sexy, yet deadly female killing machine voice . Shion needs to stop eating that curry and put on some pounds(she looks ghastly in her swimsuit o.O).
Epteamisgo | #22 Subject: Its OK Posted: 02/25/2005 16:03:31 |
I am sort of disappointed with xenosaga II. My friend bought it and we played part of it. Personally i think the game has become exponentially tedious to the point where we were playing it so that we see the next movie. So I am a little disappointed. I was also upset that the ES are "ancient machines". They should be the "ancient machines" from xenogears. So are of right now there is still absolutely no explination for anything. Monolith needs to get to the point, quickly.
Elei | #23 Subject: Complaints about the over abundance of cut scenes? Posted: 02/25/2005 17:57:53 |
I see this as a common post at a lot of the places I frequent online... Personally they don't bother me but I can see how it would be tedious for others. One point I brought up with one of the guys that works at my favorite EB about the cut scenes was simply making note of the amount of text in Xenogears. Granted... I have seen a good deal of complaints as well about the amount of text in Xenogears.. but I feel that Xenosaga is doing a similar type thing only they have the technology to elaborate on the situations. It seems that people either love or hate this game either way though.
KillJade | #24 Subject: Cutscenes Posted: 02/26/2005 02:46:53 |
i would have a problem with the cutscenes if they weer boring. since they are some of the best in an rpg ever...i love em! infact...i wouldnt mind if Namco stopped making actual Xenosaga games and just made 6 DVD movies using the in-game engine! i only really play this series for the story. i think it has the potential to be the best RPG story ever(if they can pull it off over 6 titles). im pretty sad that they cut down the cutscenes compared to the last game. i want atleast 10hrs next time
Messor_Morti... | #25 Subject: Not a game! Posted: 03/05/2005 10:04:05 |
I loved Xenogears, and I have realized since Xenosaga 1 and now in Xenosaga 2 that they are no more then an interactive anime. Almost no character development. And game play is mainly tolerated to unlock some secret or cut scenes.
All in all I'll still continue to play the series just for the story. And about the story what's up with the kids in Xenosaga? Are they all weapons of some sorts? Why kids? Ok trauma makes for good hooks to continue a story and open for new conflicts, not to mention the emotional factors. And little girls with apocalyptic songs? I'm in too deep to back out now. |
soujiro14 | #26 Subject: Greetings, fellow Xeno-fans! Posted: 03/08/2005 22:50:47 |
I joined not a minute ago, I've become a fan of the series since 'gears, so far 'saga hasn't let me down. But you're right though, it's sad that the story and the gameplay aren't mixed, cutscenes can be viewed solely and one wouldn't miss out on the story.
My contribution to this club is a large Jin wallpaper. He's my fave so far, Citan Uzuki's ancestor. Citan was my fave from 'gears. |
soujiro14 | #27 Subject: Ugh... Posted: 03/08/2005 22:52:13 |
EDIT: Dang, 1UP's auto-image resize...
Satoshi-kun | #28 Subject: Hmm... Posted: 03/09/2005 08:37:50 |
Well I loved the first Xenosaga, but the second one wasn't quite as good, gameplay wise. I was also disappointed that they cut back on the cut-scenes.
I don't mind 45-minute long scenes, as long as they're thought provoking and much more interesting than most games. |
Messor_Morti... | #29 Subject: Idea? Posted: 03/10/2005 11:18:54 |
How about after you finish a cutscene infested game you can unlock a mode where the game playes like a movie? Like Intro movie, then summery of what happen during gameplay Or actual gameplay then second cutscene and on and on untill the end. If it's actual gameplay then you can show off to people how you played it.
PuK_VII | #30 Subject: INFO PLZ Posted: 03/11/2005 02:20:14 |
Hey Hey Hey, would anyone like to share with me what the story and out come of "Gears" was? I'm too cheap to buy the old game for $30 (which is the price at my local Game Crazy). Please inform me about the game so I will know if I missed much or if it is truely worth my moneys even if its so old... Thanks.

Our Italian own label trio have been exclusively produced for us by some of the country's finest wine estates. Championing indigenous Italian varieties and traditional styles, all 3 wines are excellent examples of inimitable regionality and meticulous wine making. Whilst our premium Prosecco offers a highly stylish and dangerously drinkable alternative to Champagne, the Fiano makes a great alternative to Pinot Grigio, and offers infinitely more melon, peach and floral flavoured complexity then most of it's similarly priced counterparts. On the red front, the stunning Barbera - produced for us by one of Piedmont's most revered names, Marchesi di Gresi - arguably steals the show, delivering an exciting and captivating assortment of cherry, clove and rose petal flavour set on a silky palate of impeccable balance. With an aperitif, starter and main dish wine all represented, this mixed case is guaranteed to transcend any dinner party or special occasion; more so if it is Italian type fare.

Just for the (Guinness World) Record
November 29, 2011
© Deborah Skolnik
My iPod-toting daughters, 7 and 11, barely know what a record is—at least, the kind I used to listen to when I was their age. But it turns out they're as interested in world records as I used to be! Catering to kids' eternal fascination with the biggest, fastest, most expensive, and weirdest is the latest edition of an old fave: Guinness World Records 2012, which hit bookshelves this fall. My girls and I attended a launch party for the book recently—here's a photo of my older girl, Clara, with Aevin Dugas, who has the world's largest Afro (4' 4" around!).
We learned there are lots of world records you can try to break right at home. Need some rainy-day fun? Go for the gold in these kid-friendly categories:
- Fastest time to dress a Barbie doll (28.87 seconds)
- Least time to assemble Mr. Potato Head (6.62 seconds—don't forget the moustache!)
- Most socks sorted and hung in one minute by a 2-person team (19 pairs, and hey, what a sneaky way to get kids to help with chores!)
For more awesome ideas, visit challengers.guinnessworldrecords.com—or read all about them in the book!
