Bobby Speaks Out: His Advice to Battle Rivals and His Culinary Weak Spots
by Maria Russo in Food Network Chef, Shows, July 24th, 2014Between Iron Chef America, Throwdown and the premiere season of Beat Bobby Flay, Bobby Flay has faced his share of culinary competitors. He's no stranger to the demands of heated battles and knows what it takes to succeed in a pressure-packed arena. But, after all, as the goal of Beat Bobby Flay is to find a rival who can take him down, there's no shortage of chefs ready to try their hands — and recipes — against those of the famed Iron Chef. FN Dish caught up with Bobby on the set of Beat Bobby Flay to learn his advice to his future competitors and what he thinks they ought to do to succeed. Read on below to hear what he had to say and find out what he revealed to be his culinary weak points.
What advice would you give a competitor preparing to battle you for the first time?
Bobby Flay: My advice would be … to challenge me to a dish that they're really well-versed in, because the lights, the cameras and the action are going to be an obstacle that they probably don't think is going to be a big deal, but it is.
FN Dish has been asking all of the special guests — your friends and colleagues — what they think it takes to beat you, but we want to hear it from you, too. What should finalists do to have a chance at taking you down?
BF: They have to bring flavor, because if it's well-executed and it's not really bursting with flavor, I'm probably going to overwhelm them.
What do you consider to be your weak spots in the kitchen — if you have any?
BF: Anything with butter, sugar, flour and eggs. Anything that consists of a dough.
Don't miss the Season 2 premiere of Beat Bobby Flay on Thursday, July 31 at 10|9c.

so bobby are you saying that someone can put you to the test by make you battle in a pastry contest come on I have watched you for years and that is your weak point
Even though Dough cooking is easy to make, it's sometimes hard to master at it.
Ah yes the FN. I watched it today, for the first time in many years. My roots in the FN go back to David Rosengarten and Two Fat Ladies. There is little food left in the FN. Personality is all that is left. FN lost me at the infamous Emiral sushi roll episode. Rachel Ray features her bubbly personality. There is no chef there. The cooking competitions pale in comparison to the Japanese cooking wars.
Bobby Flay was the darling of the CIA. I was there. Great personality, great chef. But where are the people who trained at El Bulli, The Fatted Pig, Aliana's and Per Se? WHERE IS Eleven Madison Avenue? Nowhere to be found. Where is sous vide on this network? The FN is basically entertainment. Nothing more. If you care about food buy a modern cookbook and do not watch.
I've watched the first two episodes of the new season so far. For some reason I think it's kinda silly for you to reveal some of your weaknesses, like your desert skills. I'm pretty sure somebody's gonna win and take you on in desert Bobby, seeing it happen….seeing it happen….. (PS: Watch out.)

Grand Hotel Miramare, Santa Margherita Ligure
Editor's Pick
Santa Margherita Ligure
Tel: 39 01 8528 7013
Concierge.com's insider take:
This 84-room white Belle Époque pile stands at the Portofino end of Santa Margherita Ligure's seaside promenade. If you can't afford the rates at the Splendido, the Miramare makes a better alternative than any of the cheaper (but still overpriced) hotels in Portofino itself, which is three miles away and connected by a regular bus service. (It also stays open year-round, unlike its Portofino rivals.) Rooms are welcoming, if a little démodé, with their polished parquet floors, flowery wallpaper, Murano chandeliers, and antique writing desks; most have bathtubs as well as showers. The hotel's trump card is its palm- and pine-shaded back garden, beyond which lies a large pool with a spectacular view down the coast toward the Cinque Terre. There's a small spa, and a generous breakfast buffet is served in the ground-floor restaurant. Be aware that heavy construction going on next to the hotel is likely to continue into 2009. Sea- and park-facing bedrooms are largely unaffected, but the pool terrace is right above the building site.

Airlines, Brokerages Again Feel Market's Wrath
Updated from 12:43 p.m. EDT
Airlines and brokerages again bore the market's wrath Thursday, although investors were largely indiscriminate in selling off the major sectors.
Airlines were again hammered on growing concern about cash burn rates and evaporating demand, with some losing as much as one-fifth of their value. US Airways (U) lost 21.2%, to $4.45, while Continental (CAL) was down 20.4%, to $13.90.
AMR (AMR), the parent of American Airlines and TWA, was off 7.6%, to $18.49, while Delta Air Lines (DAL - Get Report) slipped 7.7%, to $21.85. UAL (UAL), the holding company for United Airlines, sank 9%, to $17.08. Northwest (NWAC) dumped 8.8%, to $11.01. Among the majors, only Southwest (LUV) held its ground, ending roughly unchanged at $12.82.
Not helping matters was Standard & Poor's announcement that it cut its credit and debt ratings for a number of U.S. airlines, including American, Continental, Delta, United, and US Airways. The agency said that the effects of the terrorist attacks last week and the already "grim airline industry outlook" will lead to a slow recovery.Technology
All but a few tech stocks fell sharply. Boxmaker Dell (DELL) was off 8.4%, to $17.48, while Oracle (ORCL) gained 1%, to $11.31. JDS Uniphase (JDSU) lost ground gained earlier in the session, but closed up 0.35%, to $5.72. Sun Microsystems (SUNW) skidded 6.9%, to $8.47. Cisco (CSCO) dropped 4.5%, to $12.88, and was joined in the red by Microsoft (MSFT), which shed 5.8%, to $50.76. Chipmaker Texas Instruments (TXN) was off 9.1%, to $21.73, while Intel (INTC) lost 7.2%, to $20.67.Brokerages
Brokerage stocks, which were under pressure Wednesday, continued lower. Morgan Stanley dropped 10.4%, to $37.62, while Lehman Brothers (LEH) sank 9.1%, to $46.64. Goldman Sachs fell 2.6%, Merrill Lynch (MER) dipped 6.5%, and Charles Schwab (SCH) fell 5.4%.Banks and Insurers
Bermuda-based insurer ACE (ACE) was punished following a report that it wouldn't invoke an "act of war" provision to avoid paying claims associated with the terrorist attacks last week. Shares were off 12.7%, to $20.95. Others in the sector were relatively unaffected as American International Group (AIG) dropped 0.86% and XL Capital (XL) sank 2.1%. Bank of America (BAC) was off 2.5%, while American Express (AXP) was up 0.77% and Citigroup (C) slipped 5.4%.Energy
Royal Dutch Petroleum (RD) was reeling after it reduced its annual growth projection in oil and gas volumes through 2005. Shares were off 6.7%, to $44.81. The rest of the sector was mixed. Kerr-McGee (KMG ) was up 0.21%, while Halliburton (HAL) was lower by 4.8%.Basic Materials
Some basic material companies were down on Thursday as well. Chemical company Hercules (HPC) plunged 16.2%, to $7.35. Paper products company Weyerhauser (WY) was off 4.7%, while steelmaker Nucor (NUE) stumbled 6.8%.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Research that helps us to better understand mercury concentrations in fish has potential benefits for all fish-consuming societies, but is particularly relevant here in Hawai'i where marine fish consumption is among the highest levels in the United States.
For example, the University of Hawai'i Pacific Biomedical Research Center recently found that women in Hawai'i are three times more likely to have elevated umbilical cord blood mercury levels compared with the national average. For this study group, there was a positive correlation between the cord blood mercury concentration and fish consumption, based on dietary surveys.
The main pathway for human exposure to methylmercury is the consumption of large predatory marine fish such as swordfish and tuna. Effects of methylmercury on humans can include damage to the central nervous system, the heart and the immune system. The developing brains of fetuses and young children are especially vulnerable.
"The results of our research allow us to determine which marine fish are likely to have lower mercury concentrations, and why mercury concentrations are higher in some fish compared to others," said Jeffrey Drazen, associate professor of oceanography at UH Manoa. "This research is exciting because it allows us to gather new insight about both the biogeochemistry of mercury and the ecology of animals living in Earth's largest habitatthe open ocean."
The new research findings also have important implications for estimating how mercury levels in marine fish might respond to future changes in mercury deposition to the ocean, especially in light of proposed international treaties on industria

5 Heavily-Shorted Earnings Plays
I would avoid TIF or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that move, and then drops back below its 200-day moving average of $61.30 a share with heavy volume. If we get that move, then TIF will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major support levels at $58.88 to $57.52 a share. Any high-volume move below those levels will then put $55 to $53 into focus for shares of TIF.
My final earnings short-squeeze trade idea is Splunk (SPLK - Get Report), which is set to release numbers on Thursday after the market close. This company provides an innovative software platform that enables organizations to gain real-time operational intelligence by harnessing the value of their data. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Splunk to report revenue of $46.77 million on a loss of 2 cents per share.
If you're looking for a heavily-shorted stock that's been hit hard by the sellers heading into its report, then make sure to check out shares of Splunk. This stock has been a favorite target of the bears, with shares off by around 20% during the last six months.
The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Splunk is rather high at 11.2%. That means that out of the 54.18 million shares in the tradable float, 5.54 million shares are sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 10.1%, or by about 510,000 shares. If the bears are caught pressing their bets too aggressively into this quarter, then this stock could easily see a monster short-squeeze develop post-earnings. From a technical perspective, SPLK is currently trending below its 50-day moving average, which is bearish. This stock has been downtrending badly over the last three months, with shares dropping from a high of $39.75 to its recent low of $26.10 a share. During that downtrend, shares of SPLK have been consistently making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, shares of SPLK have started to rebound of that recent low and move within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Greater Effort Needed To Move Local, Fresh Foods Beyond 'Privileged' Consumers
An Indiana University study that looked at consumers who buy locally grown and produced foods through farmer's markets and community-supported agriculture programs found the venues largely attract a "privileged" class of shoppers.
"Our findings present a need for broadening local food opportunities beyond the privileged, higher-income consumer, through alternative payment plans and strategic efforts that make fresh foods accessible to a diversity of people," said James Farmer, assistant professor in the Department of Recreation, Park and Tourism Studies in the IU School of Public Health-Bloomington.
Farmer is discussing his research on Oct. 29 and Oct. 31 at the American Public Health Association's annual meeting in San Francisco.
The study focused on farmer's markets and CSAs in Indiana, which has more than 130 farmer's markets and more than 50 CSAs. In a CSA, individuals pay an upfront fee, usually $250 to $700, in exchange for a routine allotment of a farm's bounty. This can include fruits and vegetables, along with eggs, meat, dairy products and other goods.
Nationally, the popularity of both has grown exponentially, Farmer said, with farmer's markets seeing a 450 percent increase since 1994. More than 12,500 CSAs operate across the U.S. Generally speaking, local foods are more often produced using sustainable farming practices that eliminate or decrease the use of chemical applications that can be found in conventionally produced farm products.
"When you consider freshness as an important value for consumers, hands down local foods that are distributed directly from the farmer to the consumer get from the field to the table in a much shorter period of time," Farmer said. "Also, when you shop at a chain grocery store, the money you spend quickly leaves the local economy, as opposed to being spent several times over within one's own town or city."
Farmer said that alternative payment models do exist for CSAs and farmer's markets, but they need to become more widespread. Many farmer's markets accept WIC Program vouchers and other government assistance for food. Many CSAs have incorporated payment installment plans and work-exchange programs, with a smaller number offering a sliding payment scale.
"Additionally, the need for farmer's markets and CSAs to be positioned in locations proximate to people who are food insecure would also increase access," he said.

Finnish Melodic Metal heroes SONATA ARCTICA have recently revealed the digital single 'Kingdom For A Heart' from their recently re-recorded debut album "Ecliptica", which was released 15 years ago. The song can be listened below:
Commented keyboardist Henrik Klingenberg: "When deciding on a single for the upcoming release of the re-recorded »Ecliptica« we wanted to have an upbeat song that would represent overall sound of the album and since 'Unopened' was the first SONATA ARCTICA single in history we thought that it was time to pick another song. 'Kingdom For A Heart' has been a live favourite for years and I think it showcases the energy and power that SONATA ARCTICA first became known for."
This new version will be released on October 24th under the banner "Ecliptica – Revisited; 15th Anniversary Edition" on Nuclear Blast.

The snowy weather and muddy conditions on Saturday in Ridgway did little to slow down the Elk County Catholic High School girls' and boys' cross country squads in the District 9 Cross Country Championships held at the Francis S. Grandinetti Elementary School in Ridgway. The girls' team won their 11th consecutive AA team title by four points over Northern Potter, while the boys' team finished second after being edged by Oswayo Valley by one point.

"If a tree falls in the forest..." -- Toby Herzing is the guy you'll want to talk to about it. Herzing has been the recreation forester for the Elk State Forest and a service forester for Elk and Cameron counties for nearly seven years. As a recreation forester, he works with the management and maintenance staff on recreational activities and projects such as trail maintenance, hiking, biking, horseback riding, snowmobiling, geocaching, hunting and fishing. "The State Forest provides many recreational opportunities for the forest users," Herzing said.
Ridgway boys golf celebrated the season with a banquet Sunday night at Laurel Mill Golf Club. "As we get together to close out the season, as the head coach I can only hope that it was an enjoyable experience for everybody involved," Ridgway boys golf head coach Dave Zawatski said. "Records, scores and streaks which will soon be forgotten aside, I learned long ago that it is the memories of the 'journey' that will always be cherished. When I look back on the season down the road, I will most definitely have a ton of good memories."
ST. MARYS – In a game filled primarily with defense, one touchdown made the difference as to which of these county rivals goes to the district playoffs. Cole Gerber's 1-yard touchdown run with 2:56 left in the fourth quarter was enough to give Elk County Catholic a 7-0 win over Ridgway Friday night at Dutch Country Stadium and push Elk County Catholic to a District 9 Class A playoff berth. The Crusaders moved to 6-3 overall and 3-2 in the AML South while Ridgway drops to 5-4 overall and 2-3 in the AML South.

In this world is it right for me to even want love?
The things I've done
I'm worth less than your time
Holding my hand like this, how can you stand to touch me?
Monster that I am
Escape while you can
I'm not worth your tears
I don't even cry for myself
Only for those who know me
How can you sit there and look at me with those eyes?
How can you smile when I'm terrified?
How can you touch me as if you love me?
I don't understand you at all
I wish I'd disappear
Never haunting you
I wish you'd forget about me
So you could be happy
I bring nothing but pain and betrayal
Why are you so blind to this?
Monster that I am
I'll only add to your misery
Monster that I am
I'm not worth loving
Monster that I am
How can you touch me?!
My life has no meaning at all
Please walk away now
Don't kiss me
Don't hug me
Don't rub my back
Don't look at me
Don't love me
I don't understand you!
I don't understand how you can look at me and smile!
As if you love me
Don't say that
(Don't you love me?)
Don't do that
(I think I love you)
I just can't
The monster that I am
So fucking messed up!
Like hell I'll stick around!
I'm insane I know
So don't love me!
Don't love me!
Please don't love me!
I fucking hate myself!
You're confusing
The way you are
You never leave me
Always hold my hand
Always kiss me
Always hug me
Always love me!
Always look at me like you see something more!
Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
how can you love me?
You deserve much more than me

TV UPFRONT KICKOFF: The TV advertising market is starting to percolate. But given the few deals that have been signed, it's not exactly a bull market, reports WSJ's CMO Today. There are numerous theories as to why things are moving rather slowly: battle over currencies, shrinking TV audiences, a shift to the Web, simply less demand, or maybe all of the above. It's probably too early to declare the market being good or bad. but TV sales executives are happy that at least things are happening.
WHAT ABOUT THE POST NEWFRONT MARKET?: As for whether Web video is slowing down TV–it's as good a theory as any. But many ad buyers say significant ad dollars are unlikely to go online until some of the bigger TV networks wrap up business for the year, reports WSJ's CMO Today. It's not that clients haven't bought into online video–the audience shifts are pretty hard to argue with–especially among young demographics. It's more that Web video outlets have hit the market with high prices, say buyers. And measurement is still a challenge. There's also a hierarchy in the media business–and the TV upfront is still seen by many as where the big boys spend big dollars. Their attitude is? We'll get to the Web eventually.
GOOGLE WANTS TO OWN WEB VIDEO: Here comes Google Partner Select, the search giant's attempt to build a "premium" ad exchange strictly for video, reports WSJ's CMO Today. Google's selling point: advertisers want to buy quality video in one easy place to shop. A big question hanging over the exchange, though, is whether anyone wants it. Initially, Google hasn't announced any new partner for the exchange. And privately, many top Web video companies say they are having no trouble selling out their ad inventory–and they're not necessarily in love with the idea of helping Google. Others are more open minded. Said Moritz Loew, Time's vice president of sales, "Big TV deals get done on napkins with handshakes. They are easy to buy. That's what we want." It's true that buyers love the idea of not having to ink deals with 20 different vendors for each Web video buy. And some big advertisers are starting to show just how drawn they are to programmatic/exchange-centric ad buying.

Many of you might have missed the latest spectacle of the cosplay scene involving comic book creator Tony Harris having a rather ignorant and misogynist rant directed at female cosplayers. This is not the first time men from the comic fandom say such things, but it is the firs time a (previously) well respected comic creator goes out against fans in such a manner. Here is a link thanley.wordpress.com/2012/11/…
Now, the many reasons why this piece is completely ignorant and based on assumptions have been listed on multiple blogs and I do not feel the need to address them. Mr. Harris has issued a follow-up statement denying that he is neither sexist, misogynist, ignorant or hateful while somehow managing to not only avoid actually explaining why his statements are none of these things, and in the process trying to place the blame on the people "spreading hate" and even insulting us cosplayers some more in the process....impressive...www.bleedingcool.com/2012/11/1…
Now, I actually am quite personally involved in this as it not only irks my inner feminist something terrible but also has a great deal to do with some of my more recent cosplay experiences. So this is me telling my story, meant as an open letter to Tony Harris and any who might share his views, although considering the amount of anger he has received after making this statement I'm guessing he's stopped reading the stuff people send him by now.
So, I'm a cosplayer from Norway, a small country where cosplay is a relatively new thing. I've been cosplaying for some years now, but mostly done anime/manga/game costumes. When I moved to London for uni and got the opportunity to go to the London MCM Expo comic con I was of course very excited, and decided to make my first superheroine-cosplay, as the focus on superheroes is a lot bigger here than at cons back home where the focus is mainly anime/sci-fi/fantasy. Now I am not ashamed to admit that I do not have extreme knowledge of comics, as that is an expensive hobby and a bit difficult in a small country like Norway. I would love to start reading more now that it is more easily available.
I am, however, an insanely big fan of the recent live-action movies, the x-men series being my definite favorite. And even more I enjoy the different animated x-men series! I decided to do Rogue, one of my favorite characters (the other, Nightcrawler, being a bit to difficult the very limited time I had before expo). Now, X-men evolution is my favorite series and I really like the way it portrays Rogue even though I do know this is not how she is in the comics (because I actually did a lot of reading up on her character and different versions of it before making the cosplay). If you think that makes me a fake fan, please consider if your attitude is a little bit elitist.
Now, I made the costume and had lots of fun walking around in it, hanging out with other x-men cosplayers, flirting with Gambit, stealing peoples powers, including another Rogue and generally having a great time. And yes, I did get quite a bit of attention and pictures taken of me, especially when I was together with other x-men cosplayers. Because large cosplay groups are really cool and awesome and stuff. Nothing of this was different from other costumes I've made of popular characters.That is, before the pictures go online.
When i posted them on deviantart they immediately seemed to be a bit more popular than my other work, which I figure is due to to Rogue being a more well-known character. However, looking through the favs and collection folders it had been added to I often saw it grouped together with what I'll describe as "inspiration for adult entertainment". Now this initially puzzled me and weirded me out a little (I honestly don't care if people want to use me as "inspiration", but I would prefer not to know about it I think). But later I've come to understand it a bit more.
You see the thing about X-men evolution is that it has managed the miraculous feat of keeping nearly all it's female heroes fully dressed in the same fashion as the men. My Rogue cosplay is shows far less skin than most of my other cosplays, and my breasts are even covered by an armor plate. Sure it's tight fitting like most superhero costumes, but while I consider myself suitably thin I'm suppose I don't live up you your standards of "really HOT" and my poses are far from revealing. So why does this costume get so much more sexualized attention? I understood some of it when looking at the other contents of mentioned favorite folders/collections. With those that had more photographs than mine, when it was not straight out pr0n it was always other female cosplayers, always cosplaying superheroes. Sometimes in revealing costumes and poses, sometimes not. Other folders were filled with super heroine art of a sexual nature.
My conclusion is that female superheroes have been so sexualized that they have become symbols of desire not even based on their dress or pose anymore, just on their existence itself. There are plenty of insanely revealing and provocative cosplay images, why would you add mine to your pr0n collection? Because it's Rogue. You claim you don't support this practice and that gives you points in my book, but no one can deny that this is a negative trend in the comic industry.
And this might be why some comic fans look at female comic cosplayers as walking, talking images of what they have been made to see as sexual images from comic books. Do they believe we are there only to tempt them because that is in essence the role of the female superhero? If so, the problem, so far as there is one, does not lie with the cosplayers but with the industry and the people letting themselves be so affected by it.
Of course, I find very degrading the way you portray male geeks as "afraid to talk to women" as well. None of the geeks I known have this problem, at leas not with geek women. Possibly there are some over there in the very large U.S, but I do not believe it is the norm. Personally I get all the sexual attention I need from my also very geeky boyfriend.
So my point is, why are you blaming female fans for what is in the end an industry problem? In your original rant you said this was a comment on the norm, so you made it out as referring to most female super hero cosplayers. You say you're not sexist, but saying it isn't enough, especially when you burden us with yet more usage of the "fake nerd girl" stereotype. You have absolutely nothing to go on for making that assumption, there are thousands and thousands of cosplayers out there and you have no way of knowing their motivation. We want to express our love for the character by dressing up as them, weather that means showing some skin or not. of course cosplay is to some degree about attention, you want to show of your work, but just about every cosplayer I know would rather be complimented on their good craftsmanship or representation of the character than that they are "hot". In fact, that beeing the first thing brought up can even make some cosplayers uncomfortable because that was not what they wanted to focus on with the costume. Just because someone gets a lot of sexualized attention you can't just assume that's why she's there. She might well be enjoining it, I mean, everyone loves compliments, but not to the degree that they will spend tons of money and weeks of work just for a couple of them. And honestly for those who actually don't even want the attentions it's more than a bit difficult, because apparently dressing as a female superhero makes you a sex symbol even if you manage to find one that doesn't have cleavage to her stomach. And do not tell me that if we don't want that kind of image we should just stop cosplaying female superheroes. Again, it is not us that are the problem!
There are lots of female nerds out there, they exist, and they cosplay for their own sake, not your or any mans. get over it.

I was expecting Frank and the fiance to be forced to 'donate' some teeth to tamp down her murderous-ness.
It was so good I almost didn't miss Sadie. Great lines and props to Autumn Reeser in particular!
Short but one of the greatest episode!
Short? I guess that's *technically* true, but I just went back and scrolled through all the TAH episodes, and the Beyond Beliefs vary from a low of 20 minutes to a high of 30 minutes (not counting the Valentines special). There are plenty at 21, 22 and 23 minutes, so this one's barely on the low side of average.
Great episode, too! Probably my favorite yet of the "solo" BB episodes.

Paul Ashley Warren Atkinson (19 March 1946 – 1 April 2004) was a British guitarist in the legendary pop/rock band The Zombies. Born in Cuffley, Hertfordshire, and educated at St Albans School, he later became an artists and repertoire executive at Dick James Music, the Beatles publishing company, when they decided to get into producing records and artists such as Elton John, discovering and signing such bands as Elton John, ABBA, Bruce Hornsby, Mr. Mister, Judas Priest, Michael Penn and Grayson Hugh, who he brought to MCA Records from RCA Records in 1991.
He died at the age of 58 in a Santa Monica hospital due to liver and kidney disease, on 1 April 2004.

After getting knocked flat by a severe cold, turned lung-infection -- I am now on the mend and playing catch-up.
This seems to happen every other year, thanks to the harsh environment of the twin cities: a beautiful place that makes an honest attempt to kill you at least twice a year.
With some new art in play, I will be going back to screen printing these and a few other older illustrations.
Main goals are to prepare for The Unicorn Art Show, ArtCrank: Minneapolis, Pancakes & Booze -- while at the same time, working my way back into several open shows coming this summer, including a print-themed show I will be helping to organize myself.
...I need help thinking up a name for the print show's title.

Vermont See And Do
Kingsland Bay State Park
Ferrisburgh , Vermont
It's called a "folk" festival, but that description doesn't do justice to the bluegrass, blues, Cajun, and Celtic performers that come each August to blast their songs across the waters of Lake Champlain. Bring a blanket (you'll be sitting on the grass), a bottle of wine, and, if you're so inclined, your dancing shoes: The dance tent shakes all weekend long.
Ah, gliding over the snow, lungs filling with crisp oxygen, the smell of wood smoke in the air, and blue skies overhead—the best parts of Nordic skiing. Vermont has 36 dedicated cross-country ski areas, and many of the alpine resorts have attached Nordic centers (see the full list at www.skivermont.com). In northern Vermont, Craftsbury Outdoor Center has more than 80 miles of trails that wend through winter-hushed woods, skirt ice-clogged rivers, and cut through farmers' fields (535 Lost Nation Rd., Craftsbury Common; 802-586-7767; www.craftsbury.com). The area has lodging and meals, and in the summer converts to a sculling and trail-running destination. If you're looking to escape the alpine chaos at Killington, make for Mountain Top Nordic Ski & Snowshoe Center, a 15-minute drive away from the base area (802-483-6089; www.mountaintopinn.com). It offers a pristine 50-mile network of trails and 29 post-and-beam rooms at the Mountain Top inn. It also has a summertime alter ego as a top horseback-riding retreat. And for a true cross-country skiing adventure, the Catamount Trail is the winter equivalent of the famous Long Trail (802-864-5794; www.catamounttrail.org). Beginning at the Massachusetts line and ending at the Canadian border, it stretches the 300-mile length of Vermont, connecting backcountry routes and groomed trails.
From cheddar to beer, lots of good things are produced in Vermont, and some of it is given out as free samples on factory tours. For the cheesiest stuff, find the Cabot Creamery in, naturally, Cabot (Rte. 215, Cabot; 800-837-4261; www.cabotcheese.com). Its annex store near Stowe also offers cheddar galore (Rte. 100, Waterbury Center; 802-244-6334). While in Waterbury, hit Vermont-based Ben & Jerry's for a 30-minute shtick on the company, ice cream tastings, and goofy photo ops (Rte. 100, Waterbury Center; 866-258-6877; www.benjerry.com). Beer lovers might make a stop in Burlington's Magic Hat Brewery (5 Bartlett Bay Rd., South Burlington; 802-658-2739; www.magichat.net), Otter Creek Brewing in Middlebury (793 Exchange St., Middlebury; 800-473-0727; www.wolavers.com), or the Long Trail Brewing Co. in Bridgewater Corners (Rte. 4 and 100A, Bridgewater Corners; 802-672-5011; www.longtrail.com).
Across the border, Montréal is full of naughty nightclubs, but Vermont's finest peep show is pure and wholesome. It's also unpredictable, so leaf-peepers should check the foliage report at the official Vermont Department of Tourism site before hopping in the car for a tour of the turning trees (www.vermontvacation.com). If you're making inn reservations, you'll need to gamble by booking months ahead. In the mountains the peak weekend is typically late September, while valley areas often hold on until early October. The best way to see the spectacular display is by driving the 150 miles from Wilmington, Vermont, north to Stowe on Route 100. The rural road climbs and dips through the Green Mountain National Forest, and there are plenty of joints providing roadside sustenance. Do stop at Weston's Vermont Country Store, which brims with hard-to-find soaps, eclectic sundries, and mouthwatering candies.
Vermont is a duffer's dream, thanks to the 70-plus courses that dot its bright green valleys. For those staying in the Northeast Kingdom region, Jay Peak Resort hosts 18 holes ($99 on weekends) by course architect Graham Cooke (4850 Rte. 242, Jay; 802-327-2184; www.jaypeakresort.com). In the Burlington area, the Jack Nicklaus–designed Vermont National Country Club is private but welcomes guests of select city hotels, including the Sheraton Burlington and the Courtyard Marriott Burlington, for $120 each and reciprocal guests for $105 each (1227 Dorset St., South Burlington; 802-864-7770; www.vermontnational.com). Too steep? A former dairy farmer now milks golfers for only $32 a round at the pretty 18-hole Cedar Knoll Country Club (13020 Rte. 116, Hinesburg; 802-482-3186; www.cedarknollgolf.com). Farther south, guests at the Equinox hit the Golf Club at Equinox ($80 to $115 on weekends), now managed by Troon Golf; those staying at the Deerhill Inn can enjoy the Mount Snow Golf Club ($85 on weekends), designed by Geoffrey Cornish, just two miles away (Rte. 100, West Dover; 802-464-4254; www.mountsnow.com).
The Appalachian Trail? The Continental Divide and the Pacific Crest? Sorry, but they're all whippersnappers when compared with the Long Trail, the oldest long-distance footpath in the country. And nearly 100 years after trail-breaking in 1910, the Long Trail still whups hikers with 270 miles of scrambles, summits, and sunsets along the spine of Vermont from Massachusetts to Canada. (Find maps and information at the Green Mountain Club, 4711 Waterbury-Stowe Rd., Waterbury Center; 802-244-7037; www.greenmountainclub.org). For a weekend sample of the LT, consider the Monroe Skyline, a 12.2-mile hike along the ridges of the central Green Mountains, near Warren and the Pitcher Inn. Other high-elevation hikes include the 7.4-mile trip up and down the 4,083-foot Camel's Hump, and the myriad trails (from 6 to 8 miles, round-trip) winding around Mount Mansfield, at 4,393 feet Vermont's highest point. Both are a short drive from post-hike pedicures and pinot noir at Stowe's Topnotch Resort and Spa.
U.S. states have official flowers, birds, and songs, but some sap gave Vermont an official flavor: maple. Sugar makers produce a half million gallons of the amber liquid each year, tapping their sugar maples (Vermont's official state tree, natch) during the spring thaw and boiling up batches of syrup in sweet-smelling sugarhouses. Many makers, including Sugarbush Farm in Woodstock (591 Sugarbush Farm Rd.; 802-457-1757; www.sugarbushfarm.com) and Morse Farm in Montpelier (1168 County Rd.; 802-223-2740; www.morsefarm.com), open their sugarhouses to the public; the best month to visit is March. A full list of places and events can be found at www.vermontmaple.org.
One of the world's best places to mountain bike is the Northeast Kingdom, a royally unspoiled and forested corner of Vermont that kisses the Canadian border and the Connecticut River. Here, the Kingdom Trails Association maintains a 110-mile network of multi-use trails that twirl through the woods (802-626-0737; www.kingdomtrails.org). Rent bikes and purchase passes at East Burke Sports (802-626-3215; www.eastburkesports.com), and lay your head at Lyndonville's Wildflower Inn. Other fat-tire options can be found at Millstone Hill, a 30-mile-plus web of trails around abandoned granite quarries—some filled with Caribbean-blue water—in Barre (www.millstonetrails.com). Outside the Kingdom, several Vermont ski resorts, including Sugarbush (1840 Sugarbush Access Rd., Warren; 800-537-8487; www.sugarbush.com), Killington (4763 Killington Rd., Killington; 800-621-6867; www.killington.com), and Mount Snow (Mount Snow Rd., West Dover; 802-464-2151; www.mountsnow.com), offer lift-served, downhill mountain biking for all ability levels throughout the summer. Bring Band-Aids, though—it can get pretty rough.

The luckiest animals in the world live at Shelburne Farms: These 1,400 acres on Lake Champlain represent Vermont's most prime piece of real estate. Sure, the moo-makers and oinkers have to endure the squeals of schoolchildren on field trips. But there's the chance of scraps from the Inn at Shelburne Farms, whose restaurant serves locally grown produce from the site's own Market Garden. The Brown Swiss cows produce the milk that will eventually become tasty aged Cheddar. All of the animals—and the humans who visit here when it's open, May through October—have William Seward and Lila Vanderbilt Webb to thank for Shelburne Farms. In 1887, they founded the property as a model agricultural estate and built magnificent breeding, dairy, and coach barns to match the 36,800-square-foot mansion, which is now a 24-room inn (rooms, a bit heavy on the chintz, start at $245 with en-suite bath). The farm continues to educate visitors about sustainability and to host myriad concerts and events, including summer's impressive Mozart Festival. Guests seeking quieter pursuits will enjoy the walking trails meandering through the woods and meadows. Shelburne Farms is a must-see.
Open daily 10 am to 4 pm, mid-May to mid-October.
U.S. Route 7
Shelburne , Vermont
Tel: 802 985 3346
Bring your walking shoes. This 45-acre marquee Vermont attraction—founded by the late Electra Havemeyer Webb in 1947—includes 150,000 works of art housed in 39 buildings, the 220-foot steamboat Ticonderoga, a prefab Kalkin House (made from three transoceanic shipping containers), an 1871 lighthouse, and a two-lane covered bridge. The collections range from 4,000 tiny circus figures to Monet paintings to a 1950s kitchen. Aim to visit in mid-May, when hundreds of lilac bushes are in bloom, or bring a picnic to one of the summer concerts held on the splendid, rolling green, with the Adirondacks and Lake Champlain as a backdrop. Willie Nelson, Michael Franti, and Melissa Etheridge have all played here.
Open daily 10 am to 5 pm, mid-May to late October.
Vermont has a total of 5,700 acres spread across 17 alpine resorts, with up to 300 inches a year. And when Mother Nature plays coy, there are plenty of guns 'n' hoses to keep you covered; 70 percent of the lift-served terrain has snowmaking.
Jay Peak in the Northeast Kingdom attracts packs of powderhounds due to a weather pattern that dumps snow on its flanks while leaving other areas dry (Rte. 242, Jay; 800-451-4449; www.jaypeakresort.com). The mountain also has excellent tree skiing and a loosey-goosey backcountry policy that sends skiers and riders whooping into the woods. Slope-side lodging and dining facilities are a bit dumpy, but you're here for the snow, the 76 trails, and the low lift prices. Also in the Kingdom, and a ten-minute drive from the Wildflower Inn, you'll find Burke Mountain Ski Area, a low-key peak with 45 trails, most of them intermediate (223 Shelburne Lodge Rd., East Burke; 800-626-4124; www.skiburke.com).
No Vermont ski area is more storied than Stowe Mountain Resort, which epitomized the heyday of Bogner-clad ski bunnies and long-planked show-offs in the '60s and '70s (5781 Mountain Rd., Stowe; 800-253-4754; www.stowe.com). It hasn't changed much since then—with the exception of a $400-million sprucing up and a new gondola between the advanced trails of Mt. Mansfield and Spruce Peak, the beginner area. Adding to lodging options such as Topnotch, a few miles away, the swanky Stowe Mountain Lodge will open at Spruce in spring 2008. On the other side of Stowe (but a 45-minute drive away, thanks to winter road closings) is Smugglers' Notch, which is geared toward families (5323 VT Rte. 108, Smugglers' Notch; 800-451-8752; www.smuggs.com). Still, the 78 trails and 2,610 feet of vertical keep grown-ups happy, too, including the only triple black diamond on the East Coast.
If you're looking to hit the slopes in the southern half of Vermont, drop down Route 100 from Stowe and you'll find Mad River Glen, one of only four American ski areas that still ban snowboards; it also pooh-poohs snowmaking and grooming (Rte. 17, Waitsfield; 802-496-3551; www.madriverglen.com). The result is a raw, refreshing, and highly rewarding ski experience, especially when you ride the famous single chair, which deposits only 450 skiers per hour on the narrow, vertiginous trails. If you can handle the moguls on Chute or the tight tree lines of Lynx, you can handle any run in the world. Nearby Sugarbush, which has 16 lifts and 508 skiable acres, welcomes boarders (1840 Sugarbush Access Rd., Warren; 800-537-8427; www.sugarbush.com). The southern peak, Lincoln, has a ritzy new base village but can be especially crowded on holiday weekends; for more solitude, try Sugarbush's Mount Ellen, also known as "North."
Further south in the Green Mountain Range lies the behemoth of Killington; go here for the steep moguls on Outer Limits, the sheer variety of terrain, and the après scene around town (4763 Killington Rd., Killington; 802-422-3333; www.killington.com). Okemo's 117 trails are known for their impeccable grooming and consistent snow (77 Okemo Ridge Rd., Ludlow; 802-228-4041; www.okemo.com). If you're staying at the Deerhill Inn, you'll ski Mount Snow, which has 107 trails and 590 acres (Mount Snow Rd., West Dover; 802-464-3333; www.mountsnow.com). And in the Manchester area sits the trio of Stratton, which hosts the snowboarding U.S. Open each March and has 90 well-maintained trails (Rte. 30, Bondville; 802-297-2200; www.stratton.com); Bromley, a sunny, southern-exposure resort (3984 VT Rte. 11, Peru; 800-865-4786; www.bromley.com); and Magic Mountain, which is a small but tough area that often has powder (Rte. 11, Londonderry; 802-624-5645; www.magicmtn.com).
Stowe , Vermont
Winter carnivals are a dime a dozen in snowbelt states, but few achieve the elevated status of Stowe's celebration of cold each January. Ice-carving demonstrations, snow golf and volleyball, and even a Super G ski race down Mt. Mansfield help ensure a hungry crowd at the annual chicken pie supper.
More than 800 lakes and ponds and 7,000-plus miles of rivers and streams give the Green Mountain State plenty of blue spots to play in. Canoeists might consider taking on part of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, a collection of waterways that runs 740 miles through parts of Vermont and forges Lake Champlain on its way from Maine to New York (802-496-2285; www.northernforestcanoetrail.org). For flat-water kayaking, Lake Champlain offers 435 square miles of mountain-surrounded splendor and numerous put-ins around Burlington; a recently developed Paddlers' Trail links campsites and other services (802-658-1414; www.lakechamplaincommittee.org). The lake is also a top sailing spot, and landlubbers can take lessons from Burlington's Community Sailing Center (1 Lake St., Burlington; 802-864-2499; www.communitysailingcenter.org). Whitewater around Vermont is relatively scarce compared to, say, Maine, but there are some good kayaking holes on the Mad River near Waitsfield and Warren; daredevils might take on Otter Creek Falls in Middlebury.

Does Jacques Kallis deserve a place in the list of best All rounders of all time?
The moment I say Jacques Kallis all RCB fans mind will wander back to the IPL 2010 where in the All rounder from South Africa performed consistently well throughout the series scoring 572 runs in 16 matches at an average of 47. Such was his domination that Only the Little Master Sachin Tendulkar(618) was ahead then him in terms of runs. But his story didn't stop there, he even took 13 wickets and was not far behind Anil Kumble (17 Wickets), Vinay Kumar (16 Wickets) and Dale Steyn(15 Wickets). That was undoubtedly an All Round Performance from the RCB star.
Now let us talk about the great All Rounders of 70's and 80's. The list includes Sir Richard Hadlee, Gary Sobers, Kapil Dev, Imran Khan, Ritchie Benaud, Ravi Shastri, Ian Botham. The next generation included the likes of Chris Cairns, Chris Harris, Lance Klusner, Shaun Pollock, Andrew Flintoff, Irfan Pathan, JACQUES KALLIS.If you talk about the current set of All rounders, then the list includes the likes of Dwayne Bravo, Shahid Afridi, Shaqib Ul Hasan, Shane Watson along with Jacques Kallis.
Sir Garfield Sobers is the regarded as the best all rounder of all time. Sir Garfield Sobers managed over 8,000 runs and 200 wickets. He is followed by likes of Imran Khan, Hadlee and others. But Jacques Kallis' achievement is no mean feat. He is the only cricketer in the history of the game to hold more than 10,000 runs and 250 wickets in both one day and Test match cricket.
Kallis is one of only four players in Test history (after Sir Donald Bradman and Mohammad Yousuf, and before Gautam Gambhir) to make a century in five consecutive matches. Kallis was recently named in the top 20 contenders for the best all rounder of all time. Kallis has been consistent both with the bat and the ball for over a decade now.
He has scored 35 test centuries and only two pure batsman Sachin Tendulkar(49) and Ricky Ponting(39). He also has 17 Hundreds to his name in the ODI.He also has the fastest half century in a test match against his name when he scored 50(24 balls) against Zimbabwe. Kallis' only serious competitor in his genre was Andrew Flintoff who managed to score below 4000 runs in both the formats of game with 226 wickets in Test and 169 in ODI.
The big question is ,With a such a wonderful track record, where will be this legendary RCB and South African cricketing all-rounder be placed in the list of all time great All-Rounders???

In a few hours, I'm shutting down the computer, finishing packing, then grabbing a flight to New York tomorrow for our upcoming Search Engine Strategies NY conference. We're well set to be even larger than last year's monster show. The event is literally stuffed with a ton of sessions for search marketers of all abilities and needs. I wanted to share some highlights for those still considering going or for those already on their way.
Barry Diller, chairman and CEO of InterActiveCorp, will be kicking off the show with a keynote conversation with me on the morning of the first day, February 27. IAC owns Ask Jeeves along with a variety of vertical search properties. Not lucky enough to see the keynote in person? Listen to it live at 9am Eastern time at WebmasterRadio.fm. Alternatively, about 15 minutes after the keynote ends, we'll have it up in downloadable podcast form. Just subscribe to our Daily SearchCast podcast, and you'll receive this special edition of the show.
The entire show agenda is online, and over 60 different sessions are offered. We also have a number of cool sessions you won't want to miss, such as:
Pundits On Search: What do big voices have to say on search issues?
Come ask them yourself! I'll be moderating a panel featuring David Vise, author of
The Google Story;
Zia Daniell Wigder, VP and Research Director, JupiterResearch; and three
search blogvangelists, Robert Scoble
from Microsoft; Jeremy Zawodny
from Yahoo and Matt Cutts
from Google.
Search Advertising: Now & Future: What's the state of search
advertising now and where's it going, especially as search leaps out of
the browser and into places like our TVs, phones and music players? This
session with search engine executives explores the topic.
Searchonomics: Serious & Fun Stats: Get up to speed with stats on
the growth of search, then enjoy the lighter side of how we search
The Search Landscape: Who's winning the search engine wars and how?
This session has some of the metrics that help tell the story.
Auditing Paid Listings & Click Fraud Issues: Did you really get that
much traffic from paid listings last month or is something funny going
on? Reviewing your paid traffic is an essential task any serious search
engine marketer should undertake. Tips and issues are covered.
Practical Copyright & Trademark Guidance for Webmasters and SEMs:
Your competitor is bidding on your trademarked name. Some splogger is
profiting off of your copyrighted work via RSS ("really simple
stealing"). What's a law abiding netizen to do? Come find out from our
panel of experts in this highly interactive session.
Who's Watching Whom: Search & Privacy: Over the past year, search
engines have rolled out or enhanced personalized search and search
history features. New search behavioral targeting systems are also
developing. Add to that a recent US Department Of Justice request for
search query data, and you've got growing search privacy worries. In
this session, a lively discussion of the data search engines collect
when you conduct a search, how such data is/should be handled, whether
the government has any right to subpoena it and other issues.
Ad Agencies & Search: As search continues to get hot, are ad
agencies missing out on one of the most important online advertising
venues going? Some ad agencies are now acquiring SEM firms to enlarge
their portfolio of services. Others continue to outsource. Some may
still not tap into search at all. This session explores what agencies
may need to consider as the search space grows and how to ensure they
aren't falling behind.
Putting Search In The Ad Mix: Search engine marketing should be
considered as an essential part of any overall marketing campaign,
online and off. In this session, we look at successes from considering
search from the very beginning, failures that result if this is not done
and how other marketing can also help search.
Branding & Search: What impact does search have on branding? This
session look at the role of search in building brand, as well as how
branding can support search.
Lunch With The Google Engineers - Just confirmed and soon to be
posted to the agenda, this will run from Noon through 12:45pm on the
first day of the show, Feb. 27. Grab your lunch, grab a seat, get
updated on Google web search and lob some questions at the assembled
panel of engineers.
- Evening Forum With Danny Sullivan: No PowerPoints, no set agenda. I just guide the audience into a giant group discussion on topics they are interested, with a lot of fun along the way.
There are many, many sessions beyond those above, in tracks such as:
- Fundamentals
- Stats & Research
- Vertical Search
- Search Advertising
- Search Issues
- News & Blogs
- Organic SEO
- Advanced Organic SEO
- Linking
- Retailer Issues
- Agency & Branding Issues
- In House Issues
- Local Search
- Measuring
- Site Clinics
The Conference at a Glance page gives you a fast look at everything, and from there you can drill down into more detailed information for Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and Day 4. Whatever your particular search marketing interest or skill level, there are sessions designed for you.
Beyond the sessions, there are events. Our OFFICIAL SES NYC 2006 Party & Events Schedule at the Search Engine Watch Forums keeps you up to date on those.

'It seemed rather surprising to him that anybody could live in Devonshire without living near Dawlish,' wrote Jane Austen in Sense and Sensibility, which we think shows jolly good taste on her part. We think she would also have approved of somewhere like the family holiday park Dawlish Sands a short stroll away from the beach at Dawlish Warren, hitching up her petticoat to run the race track in the arcade zone, jumping into the heated indoor or outdoor pool in a Victorian swimming costume and bonnet, or giggling coquettishly at the family entertainment in the Devonshire Tap clubhouse while lowering her fan to try and spot a Darcy lookalike. Or maybe that's just us.
Twenty-first century families will find plenty to like at this Park Holidays site on the English Riviera too, with comfy accommodation in swish caravans, a Loopy Kids' Club for little loopers to whirl about in, and Sky Sports and free wifi in the clubhouse (Sky and wifi packages are also available in your caravan for a reasonable additional charge). There's also an adventure playground to properly tire the kids out, before you 'challenge' them (i.e. defeat them soundly) at the games in the arcade and amusement zone, then take to the sun terrace at the outdoor pool to bask in rays and grown-up triumph.
Accommodation at Dawlish Sands is in two or three bedroom caravans on different price tariffs, all with kitchen facilities, TV and linen provided. Foodwise, everything is laid on at the park: there's a restaurant with takeaway for family meals and a mini mart on site. And if you do decide to venture off site, there's a steam railway and cycle park right beside the park for puff or pedal sightseeing.
Dawlish Sands guests can also use the facilities at the nearby Park Holidays site Golden Sands, with heated indoor and outdoor pool complexes, an Adventure Land Play Area, and yet more going Loopy at the kids' clubs.

The key trend in Hollywood this summer? Blockbusters are now really good moviesAt the end of the first film, Pitt's United Nations employee is reunited with his family in Canada after he heroically found a solution to protect humans from zombies. "This isn't the end," he says. "Not even close. Our war has just begun."Bayona, 38, has a background in horror ("The Orphanage"), and "The Impossible," which grossed more than $180 million worldwide, had an apocalyptic look and feel.See the original story at EW.com.
