3 eggs1/2 teaspoon salt2 1/8 cups flour2 cups milk1/4 cup melted butter
Beat eggs and salt. Add flour alternately with milk, beating with electric mixer or whisk until smooth. Stir in melted butter.
Allow crepe batter to stand for an hour or more in the refrigerator before cooking. The flour may expand and some of the bubbles will collapse. The batter should be the same thickness as heavy cream. If the batter is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk and stir well.
To cook crepes, use a non-stick coated pan. Heat pan to medium-high heat. With one hand, pour in 3 tablespoons batter and lift the pan above the heating unit. Quickly rotate pan until batter covers bottom and return it to heat. Cook until light brown. Turn and brown other side for a few seconds.
Dessert Crepes: Follow basic crepe recipe above and add 2 tablespoons sugar with the flour and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with the milk.
Note: Freeze crepes by separating with pieces of waxes paper and wrap air-tight. May be stored for 3 months.

RALEIGH Welcome to N.C. State, Dave Doeren. That's your starting quarterback, who engineered touchdown drives on the first two possessions of his Wolfpack career, on crutches in the end-zone tunnel.
Doeren won his debut at Carter-Finley Stadium, but not without an instant introduction into "The Way Things Work at N.C. State," where bad luck and bizarre circumstances always seem to be lurking around the corner. An ace pitcher's shutout is spoiled by his own error. A technical foul is called on a basketball manager wiping water from the floor. And so on. Saturday, Brandon Mitchell's left fifth metatarsal joined the list.
Doeren might as well get used to this sort of thing. Wolfpack fans, meanwhile, will not find it difficult to get used to what they saw on the field in N.C. State's 40-14 win over Louisiana Tech – 542 yards of offense, a defense that forced four turnovers and an early killer instinct on both sides of the ball that stunned the Bulldogs.
It was a two-way street, with Doeren equally impressed by the Wolfpack fans and Carter-Finley atmosphere.
"I walked into the coaches' locker room today and said, 'If these guys don't play sky-high today, we've got issues,' because it was a great environment coming up to the stadium," Doeren said. "I knew they'd play their butts off. This is why they came here."
Despite massive turnover in both coaches and players, Louisiana Tech was no pushover, and Skip Holtz has more material to work with there than he did his first year at East Carolina while sorting through the wreckage John Thompson left behind. Given that, the professionalism of N.C. State's performance, particularly given all the change Doeren has wrought, should not be underestimated.
The impact of Mitchell's foot injury should not be underestimated, either. Doeren said Mitchell will have surgery this week and is likely to miss at least four weeks. This is a serious concern because the Wolfpack offense, while productive, never had the same ferocity without Mitchell, not with Pete Thomas throwing or Bryant Shirreffs running.
Doeren used four different quarterbacks Saturday, including true freshmen Shirreffs and Josh Taylor, in what turned into a second half of open auditions at the position. "That was something I didn't plan on," Doeren admitted.
Quarterback shouldn't be too much of an issue next week against Richmond, not as long as N.C. State can steer clear of the swine flu that sunk Duke against the Spiders in 2009, but Clemson arrives on a Thursday night only 12 days after that, and the quarterback position will matter very much against the Tigers.
Other than that, there were few acute concerns and plenty to like. Two true freshmen, running back Matt Dayes and receiver Marques Valdes-Scantling, played extensively with the first-team offense and looked good. The suspended Shadrach Thornton was hardly missed. The first quarter of Doeren's tenure could not have gone much better with the overall debut a solid success, despite Mitchell's injury.
"We're happy with where we're at after one game," Doeren said.
As for Mitchell, perhaps Doeren can take solace in another piece of N.C. State history. Mitchell isn't the first quarterback to get hurt in his Wolfpack debut. Russell Wilson suffered a concussion against South Carolina in the opening game of the 2008 season and things turned out OK for Wilson and N.C. State, even if the circumstances of his eventual departure fall under the same heading as Mitchell's injury.

Blake Lively
Blake Lively was born to enter stardom. Daughter of famous Ernie and Elaine Lively started following the footsteps of her family at the age of 11 and began her acting career in 1998 with a film called Sandman which was directed by Earnie Lively. After that Blake earned big complements for her performance in The Sisterhood of Travelling Pants in which she played one of the four main leads. Then happened the biggest breakthrough of her career when she was cast in a series by CW called the Gossip Girl. This got the recognition that Blake seeked for and established her name in the industry. Blake never looked back after this and appeared in Accepted, The Town and Green Lantern and now she is a part of Oliiver Stone's Savages.
Blake has established stable feet in the industry now. After showcasing her acting talent in the Gossip Girl, Blake has earned a position to be in the league of actors who make brilliant out of their profession. She is paid $60 thousand for every episode of Gossip Girl and her stint with the films have set her net worth at $8 million USD. She has also bought a penthouse in Manhattan which she was interested in buying since a long time. That penthouse is worth $7.5 million.
Blake Lively spends a lot of time shopping. Almost on every set of her movies, Blake is seen carrying big shopping bags in her free time or during her arrival at the set. When she was dating Ryan Reynolds, the two apparently have bought a ring and recently Blake bought her dream home at the Fifth Avenue, Manhattan. Its a duplex with all the modern amenities and Blake was highly interested in buying this property as she was seen several times inspecting it with Ryan first and later without him. The house costs $7.5 million USD.
Blake had her first romantic relationship with actor Kelly Bratz who also is Ms. Lively's childhood friend. They both dated for three years between 2004 to 2007. Then there were reports of some closeness between Blake and her Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley. He also is a childhood classmate of the famous actress and when there was picture leaked of them kissing each other while on a vacation in Mexico, things became clearer and the couple got a little more open about their relationship. They both ended their relationship in 2010 and since then the actress has dated Ryan Reynolds and Leonardo Di Caprio. In fact, Blake and Ryan was also planning to get engaged before they split.
Blake Lively Autos and Cars (2)

Toyota Prius
Blake Lively loves to drive along the lanes and avenues of her city in her gifted black Toyota Prius. Leonardo Decaprio did not mind spending a sum of $40,000 in order to gift this standard bearer of Toyota series to Blake. However, Blake gained doubly from this love-gift as besides its aesthetics, this third generation Toyota species is also marked for its fuel economy, uncompromisable driving pleasure and acceleration attributes. This gift of nature lover Decaprio has also made Blake one of the most celebrated members of this Eco-friendly population due to its distinctive hybrid Eco-friendly features. It needs mention that this bonus feature never compels Blake to compromise with the pleasures of driving at all as Prius can cover a range of 50 miles once charged, which is comparable with an average mileage of 20 miles offered by Range Rover.

Agent: Gomez going toward Fiorentina
The agent of Mario Gomez has stated the Bayern Munich forward is "going towards Fiorentina".
Gomez has been linked with a move to the Florence-based club for some time, while Napoli are also reportedly interested in the Germany international.
Uli Ferber, Gomez's agent, has now confirmed the interest and hinted a deal could be struck in the near future.
"Gomez is going towards Fiorentina, but there are no contracts signed yet," Ferber was quoted as saying in Sport1.
Bayern sports director Matthias Sammer, meanwhile, confirmed the club "had not yet received a bid which they are satisfied with" for Gomez.
The transfer is reportedly worth €10 million, with media in Italy reporting discussions between Bayern and Fiorentina could conclude as early as this Thursday.

Pope Francis: A good man
05/25/2014 10:06
By NEVILLE TELLER
All that we read and hear about Pope Francis attests to his humanity, his humility, his spirituality.
Talkbacks (
Jorge Mario Bergolio ̶ now Pope Francis, and the first to bear that name ̶ is a good man. All that we read and hear about him attests to his humanity, his humility, his spirituality. He has no place in his life for vanity and outward show. During his 15-year tenure as Archbishop of Buenos Aires he travelled extensively around his diocese on the subway and by bus, regularly visiting the slums that surround the Argentinian capital. "My people are poor and I am one of them", he said more than once, explaining his decision to live in an ordinary apartment and cook his own supper.
Elevated to the papacy in March 2013, on the unexpected retirement of Pope Benedict, Francis has decided that an early priority must be a pilgrimage to what is known in the Christian world as the Holy Land - in other words Israel and the Palestinian territories. He will be here from 24-26 of May and, characteristically, is insisting on using an open pope-mobile and an ordinary car on the trip, rather than the bullet-proof vehicles usually used by heads of state in the Middle East – a decision certainly causing the security services responsible for his safety a few headaches.
In coming to the Middle East, Francis inherits a legacy from three predecessor Popes who also visited the Holy Land. In part his pilgrimage is intended to mark the
50th anniversary of the first-ever journey
by a Pope to the region. Paul VI, who reigned from 1963 to 1978, made a lightning 11-hour trip to Jerusalem in January 1964 – ground-breaking, because he came before the landmark
Nostra Aetate
declaration of 1965, which opened the way to Catholic-Jewish dialogue, and because at the time the Vatican did not recognize Israel.
Back in 1964 there were no "occupied territories" - at least not occupied by Israel, though Gaza was occupied by Egypt, and much of the West Bank and plenty of Jerusalem, including the Old City, was occupied by Jordan. There was no concept then of a "two-state solution" involving a possible sovereign Palestine - the just-formed Palestine Liberation Organization was set on eliminating Israel altogether. Yet Paul VI during his brief stay had a formal meeting with then Israeli President, Zalman Shazar.
The ice had been broken, and in December 1993, immediately following the first Oslo Accord between Israel and the Palestinian Authority,
diplomatic relations were established
between the Holy See, now led by Pope John Paul II, and the State of Israel. Christian–Jewish reconciliation was a consistent theme of John Paul's papacy. His millennium visit to Israel in 2000 caused a stir in diplomatic circles, for he made a point of visiting the Western Wall and the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum. Perhaps even more significantly, he made a speech acknowledging the tragedy of the Holocaust and prayed for forgiveness for those who had participated.
His successor, Benedict XVI, followed in his footsteps, striving to foster Catholic-Jewish as well as Vatican-Israeli relations. Indeed, on the 60th anniversary of the Jewish state in 2008, Benedict overshadowed all previous Catholic denials of Zionism by declaring: "The Holy See joins you in giving thanks to the Lord that the aspirations of the Jewish people for a home in the land of their fathers have been fulfilled" – virtually a theological justification of the return of the Jewish people to Israel.
During his week-long visit to the region in 2009, Benedict followed the precedent set by John Paul II by visiting both Yad Vashem and the Western Wall, but was firm on the political neutrality of the Holy See in the Israel-Palestinian dispute. In his farewell speech he said:
"Let it be universally recognized that the State of Israel has the right to exist, and to enjoy peace and security within internationally agreed borders. Let it be likewise acknowledged that the Palestinian people have a right to a sovereign independent homeland, to live with dignity and to travel freely."
This is the papal foundation on which Francis might hope to build during his three-day visit – the historic reconciliation between the Catholic church and Judaism, strong Vatican-Israeli diplomatic relations, and a neutral stance in the apparently unresolvable Israel-Palestine impasse.
As regards the inter-faith aspect of his visit, Francis is concerned with relations between Christianity and the other two great monotheistic religions, Judaism and Islam. He has, accordingly, invited both a Jew and a Muslim to be part of his official delegation - an "absolute novelty" in the words of a Vatican spokesman. The two men happen to be old friends: Rabbi Abraham Skorka of Buenos Aires, with whom the future pope co-authored a book, and Omar Abboud of the Islamic Center of the Argentine Republic.
Their advice may well be needed to cope with the
threat of attacks
by far-right Jewish extremists, backed by some Muslim opinion, over the pope's plan to hold a Mass at the Cenacle, a building holy to all three monotheistic faiths. On the upper floor of a Crusader-era building, the Cenacle is considered the location of the Last Supper, but in Ottoman times it was a mosque, and it is also directly above the site considered to be King David's tomb. The fear, shared by some Muslims and held despite continuing government denials, is that Israel is poised to hand over control of the building to the Vatican as part of long-running negotiations over the use and taxation of buildings in the Holy Land.
An inter-faith problem indeed – but In terms of inter-faith relations, Francis carries less baggage than any of his predecessors. As a non-European, he has no association with anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, while most Muslims don't tie him to the Crusades or the "clash of civilizations." His record of outreach in Argentina, including inviting Jewish and Muslim leaders to join him for celebrations of Argentina's Independence Day, is well known.
Francis will, however, also have immediate concerns to address about the state of Christians and Christianity in the Holy Land. Across the Middle East, Christians have declined from 20 percent of the population in the early 20th century to roughly 4 percent. The city of Bethlehem in the Palestinian territories, where Francis conducts an open-air Mass, was almost entirely Christian a century ago. Today it is more than two-thirds Muslim.
Francis is a down-to-earth pontiff with no time for irrational posturing. So he has decided to cock a snook at all advocates of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, by
opting to fly back to Rome by El Al
. In honor of the occasion, Israel's national airline is decorating one of its Boeing 777s with the Vatican logo – an apt token of the strong and developing relationship between Israel and the Holy See.

Tony Scott: British director of slick, frenetic action thrillers
In Top Gun, Scott made one of the defining films of the era: thrilling, dynamic and very efficient
Monday 20 August 2012
Film director Tony Scott, seven years younger than his brother Ridley, was often seen as favouring style over content, but he delivered a solid series of box-office hits, including Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop II and Crimson Tide, repeatedly working with stars such as Tom Cruise and Denzel Washington.
But, though Hollywood can lurch between adulating style and bowing before profit, Scott somehow managed to fall between the two stools when it came to Oscar nominations. Meanwhile, the two brothers developed high-end TV dramas, including The Good Wife, and bought Shepperton Studios.
Tony Scott, the youngest of three boys, was born in North Shields; but though the industrial landscape informed Ridley's films, including Bladerunner and Alien, Scott preferred a glossier take.
Scott initially wanted to be a painter and studied at the Royal College of Art. At 16 he starred in Ridley's debut short, Boy and Bicycle (1965), which was funded by the British Film Institute. The association continued: Scott served as cinematographer on a couple of Ridley's films before his own directorial debut – also BFI funded – Loving Memory (1969). A largely wordless meditation on memory and guilt, it could hardly be more different than the films for which he later became famous.
Ridley set up Ridley Scott Associates to make adverts and attracted a large and wealthy client base; meanwhile, his brother's interest in film resurfaced. As he preferred documentary he considered working for the BBC, but Ridley dissuaded him, promising that if he joined RSA he would have a Ferrari within a year. A sucker for cars, Scott took up the offer and Ridley was as good as his word; and over the next few years he directed hundreds of commercials.
The 1980s saw a British "new wave" of directors, including the Scotts, Hugh Hudson, Alan Parker and Adrian Lyne, sometimes with accompanying producers, including David Puttnam – all of them coming up through advertising. Hollywood hoped that they would be more malleable than the increasingly independently minded "New Hollywood" directors – and that they could wrest control back from the smaller production companies. But the Brits were also admired for their fearsome efficiency and resourcefulness, developed on innumerable adverts. Scott was one of those who brought stylishness comparable to the French Cinéma du Look of Beineix, Besson and Carax.
Following Ridley to Hollywood, Scott sought an appropriate project and was eventually offered a modern vampire movie starring David Bowie, Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon. In some ways The Hunger (1982) is a perfect Tony Scott film: glossily stylish with the lesbianism pre-echoing the macho concerns of his later work. But commercially and critically it was a disaster – and Scott recalled that after its release, "I couldn't get arrested in Hollywood". In the years since, it has become a cult favourite.
With his cinema career stalled, Scott returned to advertising and music videos. One of these, in which a Saab car races a Saab fighter jet, caught the attention of Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, the kings of high-concept cinema. They had a project about a fighter pilot – inevitably nicknamed Maverick – and his coming of age. Top Gun (1986) is one of the quintessential films of the era: thrilling, efficient, dynamic and Darwinian in its celebration of the victor. But it ramped up the machismo to such a ludicrous degree that Quentin Tarantino took a cameo in Sleep with Me (1994) to parse it as a gay love story.
Top Gun was an enormous financial success, triumphantly setting up Scott as first choice for such projects. Next up, he took on Simpson and Bruckheimer's comedy Beverly Hills Cop II – another hit, regardless of the mixed critical reception. It was part of an emerging pattern of hugely popular films that were seen critically as leading Hollywood's increasingly innutritious diet.
Revenge was not so successful – but Scott got back with Simpson and Bruckheimer for Days of Thunder (1990), about US motor racing. The team was joined by Tom Cruise (taking no chances, they filled the poster with his name and face). Again, it was a huge success, but critics were inured to the style and it was often dismissed as "Top Gun on Wheels". It also started Cruise's occasional habit of marrying his co-stars – in this case, Nicole Kidman.
Scott's next star was Bruce Willis, who was coming off the disastrous Hudson Hawk; but the odd-couple detective-and-football-player action-thriller The Last Boy Scout (1991) was not an immediate rehabilitation.
True Romance (1993) was one of Quentin Tarantino's pre-Reservoir Dogs scripts, but he sold it and lost the chance to direct. Scott brought a breeziness to his usual dynamism, helped by the sharp script and the amoral charm of Badlands-inspired Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette as a young couple on the lam. Tarantino initially objected to various changes, but later came to accept that Scott's changes suited his directing style.
True Romance just about broke even and Scott returned to Simpson and Bruckheimer and established stars (Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman) for Crimson Tide (1995), a claustrophobic Cold War submarine drama. While it may not have encouraged much debate about the use of nuclear weapons, it was popular and generally well-received critically.
In 1995, the Scotts bought Shepperton Studios (Ridley had shot Alien there), and began a programme of improvements; but at the same time they started the LA-based Scott Free Productions. Through this, they moved into television, but Tony tended to still produce through other companies.
The Fan (1996) was an unusual move into more psychological territory, following a deranged baseball fan (Robert De Niro updating Travis Bickle and Rupert Pupkin). Perhaps being an atypical Scott project played against it; it was not a success at the box-office. However, that was corrected by the conspiracy thriller Enemy of the State (1996), which has all the visceral energy of a typical Scott production.
Spy Game (2001) lured Robert Redford into one of his increasingly rare film appearances, opposite Brad Pitt – though it has more of a feeling of efficiency than passion, a quality that also marked the Mexican kidnap drama Man on Fire (2004).
Scott was an avid thrill-seeker, revelling in fast cars and motorbikes and enjoying rock-climbing – though directing a film was "the most scary, dangerous thing you can do in your life". Domino (2005), telling of how Laurence Harvey's daughter became a bounty hunter, is easily Scott's most frenetic film: the restlessly prowling camera and hyperactive editing that are typical of his work are pushed to the absolute limit. He described it as like "mainlining on adrenalin".
Scott's last three films all starred Denzel Washington: as a time-travelling FBI agent (Déjà Vu, 2006); a New York subway dispatcher (the Walter Matthau role in 2009's remake of The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3); and the engineer aboard a runaway train (Unstoppable, 2010). But perhaps Scott was spreading himself too thinly: they all felt, slightly, like retreads.
Meanwhile, the brothers were moving increasingly into TV, producing the FBI procedural series Numb3rs (2005-2010) and, from 2009 onwards, the legal drama The Good Wife.
Certainly, there was no feeling that he would be hanging up his trademark faded red baseball cap any time soon; as well as a slew of projects in pre- and post-production, there were rumours of a Top Gun sequel.
Anthony David Scott, film director and producer: born North Shields 21 June 1944; married three times (two sons); died San Pedro, California 19 August 2012.

I'm trying to set up HBase on Hadoop and have been follow various great tutorials online by Michael G. Noll and here. Basically all is fine, my Hdfs and MapRed works well on the web interface it shows that I have 2 nodes (my NameNode is both a NameNode and a DataNode but that's just for testing purposes).
When I got to the point of installing HBase, thats where I meet problems, I get lots of different errors. The latest one I have is on the log file in my slave node
INFO org.apache.zookeeper.server.NIOServerCnxn: Closed socket connection for client /10.2.xx.xx:43089 (no session established for client)
INFO org.apache.zookeeper.server.NIOServerCnxn: Exception causing close of session 0x0 due to java.io.IOException: ZooKeeperServer not running
But when I type in
$ zkServer.sh status
It says shows the mode that both machines are running in! Anyone has any idea what is this problem. Or does any one know of another guide/tutorial that I can follow to set this up? I've tried following the HBase documentation on setting up HBase on a distributed HDFS but it doesn't work too.
Thanks for any help offered!

Schenectady man admits driving while intoxicated
Thursday, January 2, 2014
Text Size: A | A
ALBANY Roberto Livingstone was drunk and driving more than 25 mph over the speed limit on Interstate 90 when state police attempted to pull him over in April.
But instead of stopping, the 40-year-old Schenectady man continued driving for several minutes, police said. When he finally yielded, troopers noted that he was exhibiting multiple signs of intoxication, including glassy eyes, impaired speech and having the odor of alcohol on his breath.
Livingston admitted to one count of driving while intoxicated in Albany County Court Thursday. He now faces up to three years in prison, $1,000 fine and a license revocation when sentenced in February.

Published: 2013-08-20
Publisher: Simon & Schuster$12.74
In 1850, Florence, daughter of a prominent English family, sets sail on the Nile chaperoned by longtime family friends and her maid, Trout. To her family's chagrin--and in spite of her wealth, charm, and beauty--she is, at twenty-nine and of her own volition, well on her way to spinsterhood. Meanwhile, Gustave and his good friend Maxime Du Camp embark on an expedition to document the then largely unexplored monuments of ancient Egypt. Traumatized by the deaths of his father and sister, and plagued by mysterious seizures, Flaubert has dropped out of law school and writ-ten his first novel, an effort promptly deemed unpublishable by his closest friends. At twenty-eight, he is an unproven writer with a failing body.
Florence is a woman with radical ideas about society and God, naive in the ways of men. Gustave is a notorious womanizer and patron of innumerable prostitutes. But both burn with unfulfilled ambition, and in the deft hands of Shomer, whose writing "The New York Times Book Review "has praised as "beautifully cadenced, and surprising in its imaginative reach," the unlikely soul mates come together to share their darkest torments and most fervent hopes. Brimming with adventure and the sparkling sensibilities of the two travelers, this mesmerizing novel offers a luminous combination of gorgeous prose and wild imagination, all of it colored by the opulent tapestry of mid-nineteenth-century Egypt.

In her debut novel, poet/storywriter Shomer (Tourist Season) imagines Gustave Flaubert and Florence Nightingale meeting in Egypt, among the crowds cruising the Nile. This is 1850, before Madame Bovary was written or Nightingale famously tended to the wounded in the Crimean War. Shomer portrays the Frenchman and the Englishwoman as seemingly having little in common: he frequents brothels, makes squeezes (tracings) of monuments, and copes with the failure of his early fiction by writing pornography. She travels with chaperones, reads hieroglyphics, and sleeps under a newfangled contraption to keep mosquitoes at bay. Sharing itineraries, the two discover they both possess unquenchable ambition, and they both suffer from depression over the gap between dreams and reality. Mutual respect begets attraction, and soon Nightingale is teaching Flaubert how women think, while Flaubert teaches Nightingale how men feel. Poetically evoked, Egypt proves as multidimensional and conflicted as the main characters, while Nightingale's maid provides humor and pathos. Narrative drama is not Shomer's forte, but she makes up for the meandering pace with rich landscapes, probing character studies, and well described insights into inspiration and genius. Agent: Rob McQuilkin, Lippincott Massie McQuilkin. (Aug.)
The treasures of Egypt
Before she became a heroine of the Crimean War, and before he had written a word of Madame Bovary, Florence Nightingale and Gustave Flaubert each traveled to Egypt—and, reportedly, glimpsed each other on the Nile. Though the historical record suggests that they did not actually meet, in poet Enid Shomer's rich and imaginative novel, The Twelve Rooms of the Nile, they do, igniting a passionate friendship that both inspired and repelled.
Though the enfant terrible of French letters and the Lady of the Lamp might not seem to have many similarities, in 1849 both were searching for a larger purpose to their lives. Nightingale had just turned down a marriage proposal and Flaubert had just dropped out of law school and was mourning the death of his sister. He had also written his first novel, deemed unpublishable by a group of close friends. Both suffered from maladies; Flaubert had recurring seizures, which were probably epilepsy, and Nightingale endured debilitating depression. A trip down the Nile was an opportunity to refresh their minds and stimulate their senses. Most importantly it was a chance to leave their families behind.
In The Twelve Rooms of the Nile, so called after the many rooms the sun god Ra was said to pass through on his sacred journey from sunset to sunrise, Flaubert and Nightingale are both traveling the river with arranged stops at archaeological sites such as Philae and Abu Simbel. Flaubert was traveling with his friend Max Du Camp, an amateur photographer and archaeologist; Nightingale was with family friends and a lady's maid, Trout. Shomer suggests that the strange surroundings provided opportunities for Flaubert and Nightingale to confide their deepest wishes and fears to one another, and the intensity of the environment, with its extreme temperatures and strange fauna, encouraged their closeness.
The striking Egyptian ruins serve as a perfect backdrop for the intensity of the characters and the plot gets a comic, though not wholly successful, twist in an apparent desert kidnapping. But the novel shines brightly as a thoughtful study of these two singular geniuses, a story Shomer tells with a deep understanding of the poignancy of human connection.

Fast-forward to today, and this cocktail-laden lunch just isn't an option for most business professionals. We can no longer rely on hours of face-to-face time with prospects to convince them of the value of our products or services.
What we do have today, however, is content marketing, which is arguably more effective than any martini at getting a prospective customer to say "yes" to your product or service. Here's how to apply the ideas behind the three-martini lunch to make your content marketing simply intoxicating to prospects (minus that awful hangover):
Reach and impact your prospects outside of the office environment. One of the biggest benefits of the three-martini lunch was that it gave businesses the chance to get people out of the office and have a conversation with them in a more relaxed atmosphere. These days, you can still reach people after the work day is over, engaging them with your brand's content while they're on the train home or at the gym through always on marketing channels such as display advertising, and by taking advantage of where people are spending most of their online "leisure" time: on social media. Plus, for those in B2B marketing, reaching business professionals on social networks is getting easier and more sophisticated every day, with advanced targeting capabilities available through paid advertising on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
Thought-leadership content is the best substitute for all that awkward small talk. The last time someone took you out to a business lunch, how did the conversation start off? If you're like most people, you probably don't remember. With content marketing, you have the ability to make a lasting first impression with effective thought-leadership content.
It can be useful to think of your top-funnel content as you would a conversation-starter at a business lunch. A great way to get the conversation going with new prospects is through blog posts on industry trends, research reports that provide eye-opening statistics, or predictions on the latest merger or acquisition in your space. By using broad, interest-generating topics to first capture your prospects' attention, you set yourself up as a thoughtful and intelligent expert in your field.
Cocktails buy you short-term affection from anyone. Targeted content marketing wins you long-term loyalty from the right audience. No one can resist a free drink (or two). And that's exactly the problem with the three-martini lunch, because you could be wasting hours of your time with less-than-qualified prospects who are only interested in skipping work and drinking for free.
In contrast, great content marketing helps you every step of the way in finding your next best customer. By keeping in mind your target buyer personas when you create your content, you're taking the first step in identifying who your best prospects are, and giving yourself the chance to focus only on the people who matter to your business. And with key marketing technologies in place to help you decipher your prospects' "digital body language," over time you can discover what your most valuable audiences are most interested in online, and tailor the content you serve them based on what would be most relevant.
Knowing prospects' favorite cocktails at lunch is impressive. Offering them an eBook that will help them earn their next promotion makes you unforgettable.
