- Perfect brunch atmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/30/2014Good drink menu and great brunch choices! Sat outside and enjoyed pitchers of mimosas while catching up with girlfriends and watching all the people on santana row. So far I've had the ceviche (classic white fish is the best out of the 3) and the breakfast bruschetta...both great dishes! My only gripe is mimosa pitchers were too small with too much ice for $40 each! Definitely would go again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very enjoyableJananahDined on 8/26/2014The food was excellent! Our drinks were exactly as we expected them. We were waiting for friends and thought to order a drink while waiting. After 15 minutes, I had to approach the hostess and ask if we could order drinks. That was the only glitch. We sat outside which is along the street; but it's a semi-closed street; so we didn't care. Inside, the decor and atmosphere is lovely, warm and inviting. The staff is very attentive (other then our drink issue) and knowledgeable. The food is presented in a lovely arrangement and was cooked perfectly. When in the area, we will definitely go back!Special Features:
- Always Excellent!PuraVida4YouVIPDined on 8/24/2014We dine at Village Bistro on a regular basis for lunch, brunch, and dinner. The food is very good and the service is always excellent. The restaruant is always neat and clean. I never see vacant messy tables which is a big turn off for me. My wife has notable food allergies and the staff is always gracious in accommodating her restrictions and offering options. Cheers to consistentcy! My expectations are always met at Village Bistro!Special Features:
- Miss the entreesDolphin781VIPDined on 8/18/2014This is one of our regular dining locations. However, I am not pleased with the new entree selection. The salmon was dry and the pork chop was bland. I was especially unimpressed with the pork chop. It was literally a dry pork chop on a plate with nothing else on it. The salmon was overcooked, but at least on a bed of a sauce and veggies. Stick to the appetizers until they bring back the other entrees or introduce some more flavorful options.Special Features:
- SpecialKVIPDined on 8/15/2014Our server was extraordinary -one dimple but plenty attentive and knowledgeable. His recommendations were superb and he worked with the bartender to ensure our off menu request was fulfilled.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food and service were just OKspeedyDined on 8/12/2014Food choices for both happy hours and regular are just OK. I probably would not go back there on my own unless going with some friends.Special Features:
- Day at The VillageSpecialKVIPDined on 8/11/2014We had the sole on the prie fix menu-excellent with the exception of soup arriving cold. Service was otherwise good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Average bistroLacrosseDined on 8/10/2014Was super excited about the menu. Things were executed well but not to the outstanding category. I'm still trying to figure out if I set too high an expectation from the web site and menu. Good solid bistro.
- outstanding servicemjdinoDined on 8/10/2014The service was outstanding. The was delicious and the ambiance was just as great. I recommend the brunch and if you enjoy creme breule order the lemon one its very good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Scrumptious Bistro Foodout2lunchDined on 8/10/2014For being another "California" bistro, the food and ambience are really quite nice and all of the dishes were well-prepared. The service was friendly, and they allowed our group to relax with coffee after our brunch meal. They were very attentive but not overly so. The patio is a bit on the small side, but very pleasant especially if it is hot outside. Also, it was fun to sit on the patio and people-watch on a weekend over a leisurely brunch with mimosas.Special Features:
- Gianna PartyGiannaDined on 8/9/2014Open Table was not accurate when I was attempting to reserve seating for more than four people. I called the restaurant directly and they were very accommodating. I had a party of seven and the service, wait staff and overall experience was very nice! A good time enjoyed by all! ;/)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing LunchJulieDined on 8/7/2014Village Bistro was my favorite restaurant on Santana Row, but my friend and I were underwhelmed by the lunch food the other day. The waiter was very friendly and accommodating, but the food was not good. My friend and I ordered two dishes to split. One was the smoked salmon eggs Benedict with basil hollandaise. I didn't care for the croissant type bread they served the eggs on. It was very flakey, but was tasteless. Also the entire dish including the eggs was stone cold. The other entree we split was the tomato wrap with chicken and truffle aioli. It sounded so good, but was really a bland, tasteless wrap. I couldn't taste one hint of truffle, it was dry,the chicken didn't taste fresh so we left it. Not sure about this place now!Special Features:
- OutandaboutVIPDined on 7/29/2014Good place to meet friends. Good food and nice seasonal menu.Special Features:
- Perfect for lunchMaddyDined on 7/24/2014I have been to Village Cal Bistro many times and am rarely disappointed. Great cocktails and wine selections partner very well with the menu. I ordered a beautiful french rose to go along with the steak ban me sandwich. Very tasty sandwich and loved the chips. I requested something to dip the in-house made potato chips and add to the sandwich and was brought the wonderful spicy sauce also used in the sandwich. Yum! Leave room for the carrot cake! This is the best one I have ever had and my favorite on the dessert menu. Great service by Heather.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good brunch spotsunnygDined on 7/19/2014I liked this place, good brunch spot, had a good smoked salmon egg benedict!!Special Features:
- Excellent Food and serviceSoCAdinersDined on 7/17/2014We met friends for brunch and were very impressed with this restaurant. The food was excellent and the service couldn't have been better. We stayed far too long -- hadn't seen our friends for over a year -- and were very comfortable the entire time. The service people were always there when we needed something, but didn't bother us constantly. Each order (4 people, 3 different orders) was generous and tasty. We sat on the side patio, but the front patio and inside looked just as comfortable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- we sat insideOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/12/2014my only compliant was that we were told we couldn't sit outside. There were tables outside (set for 2 people), and I did have a reservation. so was my big disappointment because it was a beautiful afternoon.Special Features:
- Welcome to Summer in SJ DinnerdreamingfeelinglivingDined on 7/11/2014After a grueling drive, my boyfriend arrived in San Jose exhausted and hungry. I chose to make reservations at Village California Bistro after seeing the menu had a diverse selection that included meats, seafoods, pasta, burgers which was sure to satisfy anyone. While the menu had a good variety, it was not extensive; however since each person won't likely be ordering more than one entree at a time, it was perfect. The restaurant was a wonderful choice for dinner since it had indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for a warm summer night. We sat on the side patio where there were light strands that romanticized the atmosphere. The food came in a timely manner and were delicious. Given the cost of natural ingredients the trip was a bit pricierSpecial Features:
- The Food was Excellent !OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/11/2014The food was excellent, the service was excellent, very friendly and helpful staff with all I came in contact with.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Favorite Santana Row SpotPJinSJDined on 7/9/2014Village California Bistro & Wine Bar has been my go-to spot since it opened. The staff is friendly and welcoming, the food is always amazing, and the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. The menu features seasonal dishes along with classic favorites. It's the only choice for lunch and dinner when dining with my closest friends and business clients alike.Special Features:
- Village CafeFonduegirlDined on 7/6/2014Food was excellent but they didn't have a record of my reservation, which was disappointing, especially when a hostess called me the day before and asked me to confirm I was coming, which I called back and did. After I explained I got a phone call from the hostess the day before and had an email confirmation I could show them on my phone, they seated me, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth that they had no record of my reservation. Food was very good -- we both had the tuna melts and they were excellent. Service was ok. The waiter forgot to get a glass of water that my mom asked for, and then we had to wait for a long period of time to get the bill and then for the waiter to take the payment. Service and management need to improve.Special Features:
- Oudoor DiningchewmanVIPDined on 7/4/2014The Village is a great place for outdoor dining/people watching. Located in the middle of Santana Row, there is a lot of activity with a wide variety of people. The food is quite good and service is up to par. The only negative, nothing to do with the Village, is the some of the dogs walking by are barking and there are patrons that insists on talking, loudly, on their celss phones. One guy actually used his speaker phone.....quite annoying.Special Features:
- Delicious.BoxterDined on 7/4/2014Our early lunch was delicious. I had the hamburger (tender and juicy) and my husband had the fish and chips (light, crunchy coating). We sat outside on a beautiful day. The only down side was the lady sitting next to us with the little dog that barked a lot. She thought it was cute. We didn't. Some people are clueless. Please keep your pets at home if you can't control them!! Our waiter, Sid, was fantastic! Very personable and attentive. We enjoyed chatting with him about the area. We'll definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never DisappointsSmithFamilyVIPDined on 6/28/2014We once again found ourselves unable to decide on any other restaurant and made the reservation at Village. Their new seasonal menu had just been released and it was wonderful. We started with the Corn Fritters and both had the tomato salad (the salad was almost too big). Both were excellent quality and absolutely delicious. My wife had the forbidden rice curry with prawns and I had the New York steak. Other than the potato wedges being too dense, the food was perfect. Paired with a great wine and we had a wonderful evening. Thanks again for a memorable evening at Santana Row. We will be back!!!!Special Features:
- 5-stars food & serviceamuseboucheVIPDined on 6/28/2014We enjoyed a most lovely evening at Village, our first time. Our server was friendly, attentive and made wonderful suggestions on our selections. He was warm and engaging with our 3-year old daughter. It was a lovely restaurant, reasonable price point. Every dish from soup, kobe burger, local petrale sole and 4-layer carrot cake was delicately prepared and flavors exceptionally well balanced. Would absolutely come again.Special Features:
- melsjDined on 6/26/2014The food was delicious. The menu had a great variety of types of food. We had very good service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always distinctiveGrendelroryVIPDined on 6/24/2014Every time we're here, the cuisine is uniquely delicious. Although there is not a huge selection of vegetarian entrees, which is what we eat, the two or three offered are superb. The wait staff is professional, and the wine list offers unusual California labels: We tried a Carneros chardonnay we'd never heard of, Poseidon, and though it was a bit expensive it was a wonderful find. We always enjoy dinner here!Special Features:
- Brunch is wonderfulMondyVIPDined on 6/22/2014This place has become one of my favorite brunch places. My only complaint is that the menu is somewhat limited. My favorite eggs benedict is especially good with real house made hollandaise sauce.Special Features:
- Great as always...TWeaverVIPDined on 6/21/2014As regulars, we have always enjoyed the food and the experience at Village California Bistro. The Duck and Pork Two Ways are winners.Special Features:
- Rubber Short RibBruceBVIPDined on 6/19/2014Had high expectations based on the Santana Row atmosphere, but the food was just inedible. A braised short rib should just pull apart with little more than a few pokes with a fork. The one served at Village Bistro was so rubbery it could have passed for a dog toy -- it was difficult to cut, even with a knife. Great place to sit outside and have a glass of win, but don't eat the food.Special Features:
- LunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/18/2014Side patio is quiet enough to talk easily with friends! Food was good! When ordering ice tea, I was told they had flavors, but wasn't told that the flavors came in a bottle and the cost was more than the regular tea. I think I should have been told! Other than that, the service was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for people watchingOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 6/7/2014We went for Saturday early dinner and had "dinner and a show!" Eat outside at this Santana Row hot spot and you will see everything from regular window shopping couples to trendy nightclub outfitted gal pals. Food was scrumptious as we had the 3 course well priced pre-fixe menu. We chose to forego the wine paring since we weren't familiar with the vintner. By the glass options are local CA and not easy to come by. Highly recommend perusing them at length. My trout was thick and succulent and his beef dish tasty and completely up to snuff. Hardy servings of food allowed us take the carrot cake and flourless chocolate cake home for breakfast the next day. Really busy when the 7.00 hour came so we were relieved for the early seating.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great outdoor placeAmitDined on 5/25/2014great outdoor place, friendly , awesome bread and decent food.Special Features:
- Delightful DayReeAddieDined on 5/25/2014We had a very nice brunch. We had friends with us from out of town who had never been to Santana Row. They enjoyed there meal and experience at the Village.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hit or missMurphEDined on 5/24/2014I have been to Village Bistro a number of times and I find myself annoyed by the inconsistency in food and service. It's located in a beautiful spot, making outdoor dining a must, but the brunch this time was not great. I have had a couple of great dinners there, so perhaps this is more their forte. We had an early reservation for brunch and there were only two tables filled outside; however, our server was nowhere to be found.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- foodfoodDined on 5/17/2014Food wasnt good at all. I had the pasta and my date had the risotto. She told me she didn't like her food either but didn't want to say anything. Great wine selection but food was not up to par.Special Features:
- Dissappointed :(KathyDined on 5/11/2014I have dined at Village California Bistro quite a few times and have been relatively happy, until Mother's Day. I had reservations when the hostess took us to our table, it wasn't ready so we had to stand around for about 10 minutes. When it was being readied, we had no table cloth - just paper hastily put on. We waited at least 15 minutes for anyone to even come over and the wait for the food is an entire different story.Our server was pleasant enough, but obviously had too much to handle. My son wanted to order a hamburger which is usually on the menu and was told it wasn't being served, but when he went to the restroom, another customer had one so... I will have to think twice before I go again.
- Very nice place to eat with friendsCaliforniaPatriciaDined on 5/10/2014The menu is diverse enough that my dinner partners' diverse tastes could easily be satisfied. Yet the menu is not so extensive that we were overwhelmed by choices. (In my experience, a long menu means mediocre results.) Our server was a bit overtaxed with too many tables, not all in the same room. As a result, we were somewhat neglected (forgetting one drink order, no attention to fountain drink refills, timeliness of ordering, timeliness of checking on our dining experience, timeliness of every step in receiving and processing the bill, all while he nearly ran around to take care of other tables). The food was fresh, tasty, and well-prepared, but not creative-- great for people who are wary of unfamiliar food combinations.Special Features:
- Worried.FreqdinerDined on 5/5/2014Food and drinks were very slow and the restaurant was not crowded. I've been to the restaurant many times and enjoyed it, however the last few experiences have becomeprogressively worse. Still hopeful it will improve.I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 801 reviews are from the VILLAGE California Bistro & Wine Bar reviews archive.
- consistently terrificscoutipantsDined on 5/3/2014The Village Bistro has never let us down. The menu is diverse, but local and organic. Love the fact they have options for vegans and carnivores alike. My husband is not that easy to please and he was oohing and aching over his pork loin dinner. Absolutely terrific!Special Features:

We officially launched a year ago today. We were around before then, of course. We've always been here. Waiting. Watching. Making notes (you're almost out of milk, by the way). Instead of spending our birthday doing boring stuff like writing about Superman casting rumors, let's do something more fun. Hmm, how about a slideshow of animals celebrating birthdays? Including birthday Corgis? Don't mind if I do.
I want more like this!

Peyton Manning Did Not 'Shred' San Francisco 49ers' Defense: Fan ReactionThe San Francisco 49ers beat the Denver Broncos 29-24 in their preseason game on August 26, but all the talk centered around Peyton Manning and how he "shredded" the 49ers' defense.
San Francisco 49ers First NFL Team to Join 'It Gets Better' Campaign: Fan ReactionThe San Francisco 49ers are the first NFL team to join the "It Gets Better" campaign for LGBT youth. Perhaps it will open the doors for other NFL teams to join the cause but for now, the 49ers are doing things that they know will make a positive impact.
San Francisco Giants Cruising Minus Melky Cabrera: Fan ReactionMelky Cabrera left the Giants due to a positive steroids test back on August 15. This, many thought, would be the end of the Giants' playoff hopes. But the Giants want to let people know they aren't finished just yet.
San Francisco Giants' Prospect Gary Brown Plays Left Field: Fan ReactionThe San Francisco Giants' prized prospect Gary Brown took the field in Double-A Richmond on August 18, but did so as a left fielder instead of his normal position in center field. Could that indicate something out of the Giants' camp?
Can the San Francisco Giants Make the Playoffs in 2012? Fan BreakdownMelky Cabrera has been suspended for the remainder of the regular season. What now do the San Francisco Giants have to do in order to reach the playoffs in 2012? Will they even come close?
San Francisco Giants' First Base Carousel Continues: Fan ReactionWith Pablo Sandoval coming off the DL, the Giants will have yet another player that Bruce Bochy can plug in at first base whenever he feels the need to do so. That's one option too many if you ask me.
Dwight Howard Officially Traded to Los Angeles Lakers: Fan ReactionThe Los Angeles Lakers have officially acquired Dwight Howard and have given up just Andrew Bynum and some draft picks. Overall, this deal caps off a very successful summer for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Dwight Howard to Los Angeles Lakers Trade Rumors Resurface: Fan ReactionThe Los Angeles Lakers and Dwight Howard are once again making NBA headlines. This time it's regarding a four-team deal that would bring Al Harrington and Dwight Howard to L.A. and send Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol elsewhere.
San Francisco 49ers Brandon Jacobs Offers More Than Just His Size: Fan ReactionNew San Francisco 49ers' running back Brandon Jacobs offer much more to the team than just his size. His hands and speed will offer the 49ers more options in the red zone and in third down situations.

Five Los Angeles Lakers Games to Watch in 2012-2013: Fan BreakdownThe Los Angeles Lakers' 2012-2013 schedule has been released. Here are my top five games that are must-watch for Lakers' and NBA fans alike.
Six San Francisco 49ers Who Have to Have a Great Season in 2012: Fan OpinionThe San Francisco 49ers are looking to have a repeat of their 2011 season. In order to do that, they're going to need to get some big play from players that had big years in 2011 and some newcomers to the team.
San Francisco 49ers Acquire OL Leonard Davis: Fan ReactionThe 49ers got a lot bigger on the offensive line with the signing of Leonard Davis a 6'6'' 375 lb. offensive lineman who missed all of 2011 after starting for the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals for the last ten years.
Los Angeles Lakers and Andrew Bynum Open Extension Talks: Fan ReactionSeeing as that Dwight Howard may be a member of the Orlando Magic for a while longer, the Los Angeles Lakers have taken it upon themselves to enter extension talks with current center, Andrew Bynum.
San Francisco 49ers Will Only Win Seven Games in 2012: Fan ReactionThe San Francisco 49ers have been projected as one of the top teams heading into 2012 by some analysts. Well, that is, except for the folks over at FootballOutsiders.com. They have the 49ers winning only seven games in 2012.
San Francisco Giants' Series Against Philadelphia Phillies Raises Questions: Fan ReactionThe San Francisco Giants put together a nice road trip, but it could have been even better if they had swept both the Braves and Phillies.

San Francisco Giants' Sweep is Nice, but It's Only the Beginning: Fan ReactionThe Giants swept the Houston Astros this past weekend (July 13-15) but that marks only the beginning of the second half of the MLB season with plenty of baseball left to be played.
San Francisco 49ers' Focus Should Be NFC West: Fan OpinionThe San Francisco 49ers have a difficult season ahead of them, facing many teams that made the playoffs in 2011. However, their biggest challenge could come from a surprising NFC West division -- something they should certainly focus on.
San Francisco Giants to Focus on Bolstering Roster: Fan ReactionThe San Francisco Giants won't be seeing any Carlos Beltran type players making their way to San Francisco, but do expect some additional help off the bench and in the bullpen.

The Peoria Chiefs received a strong debut from right-hander Starling Peralta, but allowed four runs in the fifth to the Clinton LumberKings and fell 5-3 on Tuesday night. The loss dropped Peoria to 4-8 in the second half (37-45 overall) and marked the first time the Chiefs have lost a series to Clinton this year.
Another duel of starting pitchers began when both clubs traded zeros through the first three innings until Clinton grabbed a 1-0 lead against Chiefs' newcomer Starling Peralta. With one out in the fourth, Stefan Romero belted a 3-2 pitch over the left field wall, which was the first hit Peoria had allowed in its last 13 innings dating back to the 10th inning on Sunday.
Pete Levitt replaced Peralta in the top of the sixth and the LumberKings took a commanding lead with four runs against the right-hander. Robbie Anston lined a base hit into left and Carlos Ramirez walked ore Stefan Romero made it 3-0 with a two-run triple to deep center field. Matt Browning became the fourth straight hitter to reach and extended the advantage with a RBI single to left that scored Romero. After a pair of groundouts left Kalian Sams at third base, Mike McGee tacked on the final run of the inning with a RBI double over Rubi Silva's head in right for a 5-0 lead.
Peoria threatened in the bottom half of the sixth, but LumberKings starter George Mieses pitched his way out of a jam en route to his longest outing of the year. Matt Szczur and Silva notched back-to-back singles to begin the inning and Ryan Cuneo drew a two-out walk to load the bases, but Micah Gibbs sent a fly ball into right field for the third out.
The Chiefs broke through in the bottom of the eighth and avoided the shutout with a three-run frame. Szczur drew a leadoff walk and advanced to second on a balk before Richard Jones brought him home with a RBI single to right. With two down, Cuneo extended the inning with a double to right and Gibbs made it 5-3 with a two-run single against Clinton reliever Tyler Burgoon. Burgoon bounced back to strike out Brandon May in a nine-pitch at bat to keep the tying run of the basepaths. Peoria went in order in the ninth as Burgoon nailed down his ninth save of the season.
Peralta (0-1) tied a career-high with five innings pitched, but suffered the loss in his Chiefs' debut. He allowed just one run on two hits with one walk and six strikeouts. Levitt allowed four runs on four hits in one inning of work. He also walked one hitter. Alvaro Sosa entered the game in the seventh inning and allowed just one hit in two innings pitched. He did not walk or strikeout a batter. P.J. Francescon pitched the final inning and allowed one hit with one strikeout.

We mentioned this earlier in the week, but we didn't say who it was for. Well, NBC's "Weekend Today" show is still looking for die hard fans for their segment. They're looking for more adult fans than young'uns.

Please make sure you send your name, age, email address and phone number.
Keep in mind this will air the morning of Saturday, June 21st so we need to hear from you ASAP to make sure they can come to your house and film you!

The New England Patriots and New York Jets are locked in what we will call a defensive battle on Sunday Night Football, but both teams luckily eventually put points on the board from the right end zone (example of scoring in the wrong end zone) before halftime. The Patriots lead 13-9 at halftime of a game that once featured a six and a two on the scoreboard.
Tom Brady was able to cap off an awful first half performance from both teams with an 18-yard touchdown pass to tight end Rob Gronkowski with ten seconds left in the half. Brady completed 12 of his 22 passing attempts for 194 yards in the half, but the Gronkowski touchdown was the only one that resulted in points.
The lone touchdown for the Jets in the first half came on a two-yard scamper from Mark Sanchez to give New York a 9-6 lead midway through the second quarter. Sanchez completed the first half with 10 completions for 137 yards, 85 of which went to Santonio Holmes and Plaxico Burress.
Hopefully the last few drives of the first half are indicative of a more exciting second half. Even if it's Brady throwing left-handed passes out of his own end zone that result in penalty flags, at least points are being put on the scoreboard!
To learn more about this game, check out our Patriots blog Pats Pulpit and our Jets blog Gang Green Nation. Head over to SB Nation NFL for more on Week 10's games.

Stars Shining at KendalWed, 23/11/2011 - 13:15 — Steve McClure
As a kid, in fact even as an adult, I looked up to the stars
of the climbing world. Then slowly, as you meet them you realise they are
actually normal people. It's almost a surprise! Ben Moon is Human!
Banyangs CaveFri, 28/10/2011 - 04:51 — Steve McClure
Petzl Rock Trip 2011. Getu valley. There must be more
limestone here than the whole of the
put together! But the really crazy thing is the variation in styles. There just
seems to be everything plus more other styles you didn't know existed. The
world of slopers was totally crazy, but pretty close to on-sight hell,
certainly for me anyway. And also not red-point heaven either requiring large
biceps and shoulders that God forgot to give me.
A perfect mountainThu, 27/10/2011 - 06:32 — Steve McClure
Bits of rock can look pretty much the same, it doesn't
matter where you are in the world. Big features, crazy formations, caves,
pinnacles, whatever; up close and pulling hard, rock is rock. In a place like
you need to escape the system and explore the view, just to know where you are,
or you might as well have stayed home!
International DWSTue, 16/08/2011 - 12:53 — Steve McClure
Borre handed me another beer. The main dude behind the
Norwegian Rockmaster. The second event, in 2010, had been a good one. "Steve,
how can we make the competition even better?" I thought for a minute. "You want
something that stands out from the crowds? The way to go is DWS!"
CreteFri, 01/07/2011 - 08:43 — Steve McClure
Climbers are an obsessed type of people. We'd climb every
day if we could. Having a family pushes me into doing stuff that maybe I
wouldn't otherwise do, like holidays to places where there is no climbing.
The Traverse of the GodsTue, 07/06/2011 - 10:30 — Steve McClure
Or the God Of all Traverses? I'm not the fittest of
climbers, but it's not often that I turn up at a cliff and only manage one
route before crawling off exhausted! But the mega traverse at Craig-y-Longridge
is way longer than the average route!

The Evolution of RV Parks & Campgrounds
RV Resorts Have Come a Long Way
Alan Lidstone, Courtesy of Woodall's Directory
A lot has happened to RV parks and campgrounds over the last forty years. The campground with a small lake, a payphone, and a store selling milk, soda, ice cream, beer, charcoal and firewood has been replaced by a RV resort environment.
RV Resorts
As RVs have developed, so have campgrounds. Most are now known as RV resorts, featuring large sites, enhanced recreational opportunities, and a wide array of services. The camp store is now a mini-market selling a wide range of groceries, frozen foods, beer, wine and soft drinks, along with camping and RV supplies.
While many RVers stay at RV resorts and campgrounds open to the public, some prefer to use the membership-only RV resorts. RV resorts open to the public include the privately-owned RV resorts and campgrounds as well as the state, county and municipal campgrounds. Selected RV resorts such as Sun Communities and Encore Resorts cater to the interests and needs of the increasing number of seasonal and extended-stay RVers and provide a range of social activities.
RV Campgrounds
Half of the fun on an extended trip is to experience different types of rv parks, campgrounds and RV resorts. RVers have a choice of destinations that still have the charm of the old-style campground environment with wooded sites and miles of trails, but are also close to golf courses, beach, and restaurants.
Jekyll Island
Campground, in Jekyll Island, GA is an example. For year-round convenience and high-end full service with paved roads and brick patios, multiple pools and hot tubs, convention center, restaurant, RV service techs, WiFi Internet access, and day and night tours of Washington, DC, check out
Cherry Hill Park
in College Park, MD.
With the information-packed regional or national Woodall's Campground Directory, RV park, and RV resort
, RVers can select destinations and layovers. All Woodall's Directories, with their extensive information about geographic locations, including roads and highways, along with excellent directions, amenities and quality ratings, are very helpful when planning a trip or changing plans. Reservations can now be made or changed on the Internet or by using toll-free phone numbers, frequently on a 24-hour basis.
RV Resort and Campground Amenities
RVers have a choice of services on their sites, including water, sewer, 30-amp and 50-amp electric power, and cable-TV. Many RV resorts offer well-marked paved roads and sites that easily accommodate large rigs. Late arrivals may be met by a staff member who will lead them to the RV site and point out the locations of the utilities. More and more resorts are providing additional services such as Wi-Fi or DSL high-speed Internet access, mail and fax services, and phone lines at the site.
The small lake and canoes and kayaks may still be there, but are now accompanied by a swimming pool, and possibly a hot tub, hiking trails, miniature golf, game room, tennis courts, laundry, lounge, and a restaurant. The service desk assists RVers with information for just about all your needs, from auto or RV service, to medical needs, and shopping.
RVers can relax and socialize away from the RV in the lounge, where they will also find TV, Internet access, and books to read. There are no lines at the payphone anymore as more and more RVers use today's technology toys, including wireless phones and laptop computers with WiFI or wireless broadband Internet access to help keep in touch with family and friends, and manage their personal activities.

Football and food have a special and symbiotic relationship.
If the game's on, chances are so is some kind of food.
But fans and players alike have graduated from the chip-and-dip days of yore. And everyone, it seems, is a foodie these days. And party platters are no longer for Super Bowl Sunday alone.
We asked five NFL players for the recipes they like the most, and they served up some delicious-sounding fare: three main dishes and two desserts.
It's not just talk, either, apparently. Terrell Thomas' reputation as a cook, for instance, has made its way around the Giants' locker room.
"I haven't tried his banana pudding," teammate CB Corey Webster said, "but the boy can cook."
So whether you're feeding players or fans, coaches or armchair coaches, check out these players' favorite recipes.
They are guaranteed to be good — whether or not there's a game going on.
Falcons S Erik Coleman
Pasta Carbonara
Coleman: "My wife's mom makes this pasta carbonara. It reminds me of the people I love — my wife and family."
½ pound bacon, cut into small pieces
4 eggs, room temperature
¼ cup heavy cream, room temperature
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
16 ounces dry fettuccine pasta
¼ cup butter, softened
¼ cup chopped parsley
ground black pepper to taste
Cook bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
In medium bowl, beat together eggs and cream just until blended. Stir in cheese and set aside.
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to pan. Toss with butter until it is melted. Add bacon and cheese mixture and toss gently until mixed.
Bills LB Akin Ayodele
Cuban "Ropa Vieja"
Ayodele: "I love Cuban food. I ate it all the time when I was in Miami playing for the Dolphins. I learned to love it when I was there. I also love sushi — Nobu (restaurant) is my favorite."
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds beef flank steak
1 cup beef broth
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 small onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the flank steak on each side, about 4 minutes per side.
Transfer beef to a slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth and tomato sauce, then add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, tomato paste, cumin, cilantro, olive oil and vinegar. Stir until well blended. Cover and cook on high for four hours, or on low for up to 10 hours. When ready to serve, shred meat and serve with tortillas or rice.
49ers OLB Travis LaBoy
Mom's Lasagna
LaBoy: "Even when 60,000 people are screaming in the stadium, I somehow can only hear my mom's scream. This is her lasagna."
1 box of lasagna noodles
1 large jar of Prego mushroom spaghetti sauce
1 small tub of ricotta cheese
1 bag of shredded mozzarella
1 small shaker of Parmesan cheese
1 box of frozen creamed spinach
1 pound of hamburger or turkey meat
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Follow directions on the box for cooking noodles but keep them a bit firm so they don't tear.
Microwave the frozen spinach for one minute, then mix with the entire tub of ricotta cheese.
Cook meat and pour in the sauce.
Layer it as such — one layer of noodles, followed by one layer of ricotta-spinach mix, followed by one layer of mozzarella. Then sprinkle with parmesan. Repeat this layering. Top with noodles, enough sauce to cover the top and sprinkle entire thing with Parmesan cheese.
Bake for one hour. Cool before cutting.
Giants CB Terrell Thomas
Mom's Banana Pudding
Thomas: "This is my mom's banana pudding — it's so delicious and sweet, just like her. I could lick the pan!"
1 heaping tablespoon flour
½ cup (or a little more) sugar
2 cups milk
2 eggs
1 tablespoon butter
¼ teaspoon vanilla
1½ boxes of vanilla wafers (crumble some throughout and on top)
3 to 4 ripened bananas
In a saucepan, mix flour and sugar. Then add eggs and mix well. Place on stove and slowly add milk — a little at a time — stirring constantly. Continue stirring until it has thickened. After it has thickened, add butter and vanilla. Not too much vanilla, as too much will make your pudding look chocolatey.
Layer the cookies and bananas (I crumble some throughout). You can refrigerate it overnight or not — some like it cold and some like it a little warm, but you should refrigerate it for a few hours until pudding is solid.
Seahawks RB Justin Forsett
Peach Cobbler
Forsett: "Peach cobbler is one of my favorite things to eat. It's my mom's recipe, and I've never tasted one that's better."
1 teaspoon coconut flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
½ stick butter
1 cup sugar
2 large cans peaches
1 or 2 cans crushed pineapple
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoon baking powder
1½ cups flour
1½ cups milk
a dash of salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix filling ingredients together and boil for 15 minutes. In a separate, bowl combine ingredients for the batter. Mix well.
Melt 1½ sticks of butter in deep baking dish, then pour batter into dish. Pour fruit mixture over batter. Place in 350-degree for 45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Serve warm with ice cream, if desired.

4/5 rDev +18.3%
Poured from a 500ml brown bottle.
Aroma is of toasted malts, with some sweetness, and a slight alcohol smell coming through. Pours a deep burgundy color with a 2 finger head that didn't last long, and no lacing.
Taste is very good, lots of nice toasted malts, and caramel. There is quite a bit of sweetness to it also, and has a nice smooth finish. There are also some spice notes, and a very slight yeasty taste. Mouthfeel is good and feels balanced. Carbonation is just right, and gives a slight tingly sensation with each mouthful. Very smooth as well and pretty sweet. Also very drinkable.
Overall, this was a very good brew, nothing outstanding, but still very good. I agree with the other reviews on the richness and hardiness of this beer. Would be good for winter.

Appearance This one is a pretty, light brown in color. Its almost orangish when held up to the light and gave off a good, moderate head.
Smell The darkish malts show off a bit of complexity here. The toast is light with some sticky caramel and maybe a dab of molasses to go along for the ride. Theres a doughy aroma here as well.
Taste Ah, all the complexities from the nose made their way nicely to the taste. This is not a heavy-hitting Dark Lager, but its very tasty and dead-on for the style. The finish is bittersweet with hints of toffee.
Mouthfeel This one isnt quite medium-bodied, but it does show off some pretty serious bitterness that gives this lager a drying finish.
Drinkability This was on the lighter side of the EDLs that Ive had, but it was very tasty and made for a great mid-afternoon snack.

Sort of a darkish red color with a creamy tan head.
Pretty grainy up front in the nose. Some redeeming toffee notes in the background.
Quick moving malts are about the extent of the flavor for me. It's a little too sweet and a little too thin to really get into. The finish has sort of a cola nut note.
I like several of the Baltika brews, this one is ok. Won't be revisiting with examples like Hofbrau or Spaten Dunkel on hand.

Presentation: 16.9 oz brown bottle with a foil wrap around the cap and neck, no freshness date to be found.
Appearance: Mild haze within the deep reddish amber colored brew, patchy big bubble lace is thin and soda like.
Smell: Caramel and candied fruit in the nose with vague ghost like fusel and buttery diacetyl aromas.
Taste: Slick and creamy mouth feel with a sharp biting carbonation, malt sweetness almost goes over the top. Caramel and ripe fruit are forced on the taste buds. The sweetness is then slammed to the ground hard by a devious mix of esters and astringency, hops are used up and astringently lost in the chaotic blend of flavours. Spicy alcohol and hop bitterness with some astringent grain to add to it gives the whole picture of this brew an ale like character. Finishes with an almost metallic flavour with some astringency and hints of dried date sugar.
Notes: Quite and interesting brew, an oddity to enjoy perhaps. Not whole heartedly bad but not what one would expect in a beer in the traditional sense.

Largish bottle, pours dull cloudy brown, unsightly largish bubble quickly deoparting head, next to no nose picked up. Pretty boring beer, sweetness picked up but minimal hops and flavor notes. Not worth the $1.49 I paid, I spilled 1/2 of this down the drain..not worth loosing the brain cells and adding girth to my belly

Appearance: 1/2 inch head, amber in color, hazy
Smell: minerals, toffee, and grain
Taste: sweet toasted malt, grain, toffee, and tea
Mouthfeel: very sweet, light bodied, and moderate carbonation
Drinkability: I find this beer to be cloyingly sweet and too malty. One is enough as the combination just does not work for me.

The beer pours an amber-brown color with a tan head. The aroma is actually pretty nice. I get notes of grapes, toffee, biscuits and iced tea. The flavor is similar, but a little more exciting. In addition to the dominant toffee malt characteristics, I get earthy and grassy hops, caramel, honey and graham crackers. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Not bad at all.

I got this as a single from Union Jack's on the Manatawny. Expiration date on the back (YAY!) says expires on 14.07.05, but this tastes fine to me. If they can put dates on the bottles in RUSSIA, for crissake...
Pours a pretty cloudy reddish amber with a 2 finger head of beige colored foam. The head is nice and sticky, with great lacing on the bottle. Carbonation looks slow.
Aroma is very fruity (?) like dark raisins and dates, with notes of toffee and toasted grain. Just a hint of floral hops are there as well.
First flavor is toasted malt and brown sugar/molasses, fruity and pleasant. Tastes like an amber ale to me. Don't know of too many lager yeasts with this kind of profile. There's a decent hop bittering, and even a nice floral hop flavor. Toastiness and brown sugar really come through as it warms, as does diacetyl. Aftertaste is sweet and caramel-y.
Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy with a soft to medium tingle from carbonation. Pretty much residual sugar here. Finish is fairly sweet.
This is my first Baltika, but it won't be my last. Not too bad at all. I really don't think it's a true lager, but it tastes OK to me.

Unimpressed, even with its 89 score at BevMo. Pours clear brown with a minimal off-white head. Caramel, molasses, and dough inthe nose. Watery taste of the same, except with a bitter metallic bite that goes away as the beer warms. Did not live up to its billing.

Honey colored with a thick quarter inch high head of beige foam. Or is that styrofoam? It's not really moving. Just sitting there. Full aroma of sweet malts and cinnamon, some light brown sugar, and some toffee and sweet pear. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel leads to a sweet malty flavor, a little syrupy. Only the second beer I've ever called cloying. There is molasses and sweet toffee, and tingly undercurrent of hops in the finish. A strange aftertaste lingers. Can't put my finger on that flavor, but it may keep me from finishing the bottle.

A- Nice Clear Red with Tan head that has nice retention.

D- All in all not a bad beer, somewhat unique to what I have had before. Very drinkable would be good year round

3.2/5 rDev -5.3%
Brownish and dull appearance with a low bodied head that doesn't have much to keep it from falling in on itself. Minimal lacing properties. Aroma is decent, somewhat buttery with some accent of raisin. Malt is pretty sweet, bready, but somewhat thin in in overall impression, as well as the finely carbonated body. Creamy, slightly watery, without a lot of initial distinction other than overall sweetness. De-constructs slightly with a slightly sour tea-like hop underscoring the finish. Better beginning than end to this beer, but decently average and drinkable beer.

( Served in an American pint glass)
A-deep brown color that is a little dense and has lots of tiny bubbles. The head is a nice creamy white head
S- malty aroma with a hint of apples and a bit of honey.
T- light and medium roast maltyness with good caramel honey notes and a light chocolate hint. Ends in a faint pepperyness and a fizzy finish.
M- full body with lots of fizziness and a hint of acidity from the carbonation. No hops astringency at all
D- A nice mellow all malt brew that is well built but not very interesting. There is no depth to the malt and no hops or alcohol to support it. It also had a powerful carbonation that detracted from the brew.

16.9oz brown bottle with production and best before dates.
A: Pours a glowing crimson, copper, burnt orange with a full two finger head. The head dies down quickly to a thin lacing.
S: Euro malts, you know the kind, not too sweet. Trends towards butterscotch with hint of alcohol.
T/M: Light body, lacking punch until the very end. It is water-like until it hits the back of the tongue, then the carbonation comes through. Same buttery malts from the nose are present on the palate. A faint hint of hops balances out the caramel and butterscotch malts. Finally a touch of banana finishes her off in the aftertaste.

3.43/5 rDev +1.5%
This beer is a slightly clouded coppery-red with an unimpressive head that fades a bit quickly but does leave some lacing, albeit quite thin.
The aroma is of malts, notes of dark fruits, and a light note of caramelized sugars with an alcoholic tinge and an unexpected astringency.
The caramel malt is stronger in the flavor, making for a sturdy base. The caramelized sugars and ripe fruits make for perhaps an overdone sweetness. Hops fade in and out and are stronger in the aftertaste and don't provide an especially good balance. The astringency I found in the nose remains in the flavor, fortunately to a lesser degree.
There's a good balance of crispness and smoothness is a well-rounded mouthfeel complimented by a carbonation that's just the right level in a medium to full body.

I have something of a soft spot for this lager. Something about a company that sells its brews by the number. Even so, from any objective viewpoint, it's a little rough around the edges.
Looks red and perfectly clear. Smells almost syrupy malty, which it is. Tastes of oodles of pure malt, with just a hint of odd metallic astringency holding it back. A no frills, straightforward, uncomplicated lager.

3.1/5 rDev -8.3%
Poured from a bottle into a nonic pint.
Pours a reddish amber hue that's pretty transparent. Big inch-thick head dissipates quickly, leaving thick strings of bubbly lacing coating the inside of the glass. No carbonation is visible. Smell is full of prunes and raisins, with caramel malts backing them up. Slight metallic aroma behind the sweet start; not something I'm usually a fan of.
Taste is almost a mirror of the smell, with sweetish nuances of dark fruits washing over the palate to start. Slight hints of caramel, apple and pear. Just a very sweetish experience all around. There's a minute bit of bitterness at the end that slides into the ephemeral aftertaste, but it's not enough to balance the malts out, not by a long shot. Mouthfeel is light, but with a slick feel and a crisp finish, enough to be above average.
I'm usually a fan of sweet beers, but this just takes it a little too far. Too sweet, too cloying, with not enough balance of bitterness and hops. Can't really stomach more than one serving of this.

4.03/5 rDev +19.2%
Unique to say the least. Baltika #4 uses Rye Malt (along with the standard malt, hops, yeast and water) in the creation of this brew and while I don't notice it in the aroma, I definitely can taste the difference and it works.
Pours a slightly opaque dark orange amber with a half finger white head that malts slowly to a nice top-capping lacing.
The nose is toasted, nutty amber malt with a hint of brown sugar.
Taste is dark toasted malt but the sweet brown sugar seems to disappear completely under the spice of the rye malt and the finish becomes nicely drying rather than sweet and cloying.
There really are layers of flavors in this brew and I'm enjoying the discovery.

3.03/5 rDev -10.4%
Drink by date of 5/25/2012
A: Pours a clear ruby/brown/caramel color with a two finger tan head on top. The head is rather thick upon pouring, but quickly reduces to a thin layer of bubbles on top.
S: Not a whole lot going on. There is some caramel and some candied fruit, but rather hard to pick anything specific out.
T: Light in caramel than the nose indicated and much sweeter. Its not overly sweet, but certainly on the heavy side, and candied fruit/sugar at that. Has a slightly metallic finish to it.
M: Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation. Rather slick and creamy.
O: Besides the slightly metallic finish, nothing bad about this beer, but nothing stands out either. Hard to review it since this style does not have a description.

Poured a distinct translucent amber with a 2 finger tan head that slooowly dissipated leaving a cover on top and some lacing . Aroma of bread and dark fruits? Taste was malty and fruity with medium body and a slightly bitter finish. With all these semi obscure and very interesting beers on the market, I doubt I'll ever buy a macro again.

Sale Picks Up First Career Save
2010 first round pick preserves 6-4 Chicago win
CLEVELAND, Ohio – Making his 10th major league appearance, former FGCU baseball star and the 2010 Collegiate Baseball National Player of the Year Chris Sale picked up his first career save on Wednesday afternoon in the Chicago White Sox's 6-4 win at Cleveland.
Chicago entered the day just four games behind Minnesota in the American League Central race. The Twins will play host to Detroit tonight at 8:05 p.m.
Sale entered the game in the top of the ninth after slugger Paul Konerko gave Chicago a 6-4 lead in the top of the eighth with a three-run home run.
The 6-foot-5 lefty promptly struck out the first batter before issuing two walks and recording a ground out. With runners on first and second with two outs, Sale got Shin-Soo Choo to strike out swinging on a 95-MPH fastball to preserve the White Sox's third straight win. Shin-Soo Choo, the No. 3 batter in Cleveland's lineup, was 3-for-4 on the day with a double before facing Sale.
Shin-Soo Choo is the 16th player to strikeout against Sale in just 10 innings of work. Since being called up on Aug. 4, Sale has given up just one run, five hits and limited opposing hitters to a dismal .152 batting average. Sale sports a 0.90 ERA and has struck out at least one batter in his last eight appearances, including two or more six times.
According to Baseball America, Sale's arrival in Chicago after being selected with the 13th overall pick in the 2010 MLB First-Year Player Draft on June 7, will be the quickest major league debut of any draftee since Reds 2003 first-rounder Ryan Wagner. Sale is also the first Sox player since Alex Fernandez in 1990 to reach the majors in the season in which he was drafted. Just 13 of the 32 first round picks from this year's draft have signed contracts.
A five-time All-American (Ping!Baseball, Louisville Slugger, Yahoo! Sports, Baseball America, ABCA/Rawlings) in 2010, Sale ranked fourth in the nation as a junior in 2010 with 146 strikeouts over 103 innings. The Lakeland, Fla. product's 11-0 record, two saves and 2.01 ERA helped the Eagles clinch their third consecutive A-Sun regular season title. Sale became the second player in program history to win the A-Sun Pitcher of the Year award and was a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award.

Familiarize yourself with the program by taking the "practice test" until you are comfortable and ready to take "The Real Typing Test ."
Keep in mind that your time begins the moment you start typing.
The text you must type will appear at the top half of your screen. The words you type will appear on the lower half of your screen.
Pay attention to the underlined blue word in the script--the program expects you to type that word. Do not jump ahead or fall behind to a different word as it will be counted as an error.
You can use the backspace key to correct errors only for the current word you are typing. Do not waste time trying to backspace to a previous word. Once you press the space bar to go on to the next word, you will not be able to backspace to a previous word.
Be careful not to hit the space bar in error.
Words with typed errors that cannot be corrected will appear in red at the bottom of your screen.
When you have filled the screen with typing, keep typing. The program will automatically scroll down to allow you more space to type.
Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions or experience any difficulties using the online typing test site.
If you do not have access to the Internet or are unable to access the online typing test site, you can take the test on a computer at a public library, a Missouri Career Center, home of a friend or family member or at the Division of Personnel, Truman State Office Building, 301 W. High St., 4th Floor, Room 430, Jefferson City, MO.
