Each month we post a new recipe for you to try. We appreciate your comments and experiences with them.
This month's recipe is: Autumn Apple-Hazelnut Salad
Apples and
hazelnuts really complement each other in this crispy, refreshing, and colorful
salad. In my days as a chef of A'propos, with its New American/California-style
cuisine, I developed this salad for my fall menu; simple as it is, it really
took off. I love the idea of using apple cider cooked down to a thick syrup for
the dressing; it adds and intense, concentrated apple flavor along with a
welcome acidic edge. If you make the apple cider syrup in larger quantity, it
will keep very well for up to a month, refrigerated. Use it to glaze ham, pork
chops, roast chicken or duck. Serves 6
2 cups apple
¼ cup cider
1 tablespoon
coarse grain-mustard
¼ cup hazelnut
oil (substitute canola oil or grape oil)
½ cup canola oil
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
to taste
In a medium-size
heavy pot, cook the cider until it's thick and syrupy, about ¼ cup in volume,
paying close attention as it nears readiness so the syrup doesn't burn. Remove from
heat, pour into a blender or food processor and add the remaining ingredients,
blending until smooth
About 1 pound
mixed salad greens (watercress, Boston lettuce, Belgian endive, red leaf, and
3 assorted
apples, preferably both red and green
Squeeze of fresh
lemon juice
1 small red
onion, peeled and thinly sliced and soaked in ice water 10 minutes
¼ pound (about 1
cup) hazelnuts, lightly toasted, skins rubbed off and roughly chopped.
Wash and dry
greens. Cut into bite-sized pieces. Cut down apples on all four sides, leaving
a square core to be discarded. Dice the apples and toss with lemon juice.
Using just
enough to coat lightly, toss the Apple-Cider Dressing with the greens and
apples. Drain and rinse the onion, then sprinkle onto the salad along with the
hazelnuts. Serve immediately.

The Disappearance of Yu Suzuki: Part 2
In the second half of our extensive interview, Hang-On, Virtua Fighter, and Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki looks back at the Shenmue franchise, and explains why he's been out of the public eye in recent years.
Continued (page 5 of 5)
JM: OK. Now for something completely random. Did you really own an F355?
YS: Yeah, I still do.
JM: What's your favorite game that you've made?
YS: Mine? Virtua Fighter 2, I guess. I have memories of all the games so it's hard to choose one.
JM: One game that we don't hear much about is Space Harrier. Can you tell us one your memories about that one?
YS: I've got a lot. Back then it was said that 3D shooters would never sell. Vertical and horizontal scrolling shooters were fine, but 3D would never work and there was no 3D shooter prior to Space Harrier that had succeeded. So the market research department told me not to make the game. I asked them why the other games didn't succeed and they told me it was because the target is too small. Based on that, my conclusion was that I basically had to make sure the player could hit the target. So, I made a homing system that guaranteed that the target could be hit. When the target was close, it would always hit, but when the target was in the distance, the player would miss. So the result of whether the player would hit the target or not was determined the second the player took the shot.
Also, this game was not initially my concept. The original concept document was about 100 pages long, on the front and back of each page of the proposal. The game was called "something something Harrier" -- I don't remember the previous name. Originally, the game was set in a realistic setting with a jet that shot missiles into the foreground. But with a jet airplane, a game requires a lot of pattern change data to move back and forth across the screen, so I had to simplify the airplane to the character we ultimately used. But then the game loses its impact -- at that point, the concept was no longer attractive. So it became a sci-fi game because we had a person flying on the screen. It was a sci-fi game with fantasy elements because I liked the movie The Neverending Story.
JM: That's great. People are going to love hearing that.
YS: So, the only thing that remained from the original 100-page document was the name, "Harrier." I rewrote the whole document but wanted to keep something so I kept the name.
JM: Poor original designer dude.
YS: The original guy was a person named Ida. And he had a really big head. So, in the game there's a part where these big heads made of rock appear and I named them after Ida, pronounced I-DA.
JM: What's your favorite game at the moment?
YS: [Nintendo's] Tomodachi Collection. It's such a good game. I also think Dobutsu no Mori [Animal Crossing] is a really good game. That's another game that's been influenced by Shenmue. But, yeah, Tomodachi Collection is very good. It's good for kids. Because kids don't say, "I'm sorry." It's very difficult to teach. But when you play that game, the characters say "Gomennasai [I'm sorry]" a lot. And then it says "Yurushimasen [I don't forgive you]," so it makes the players repeat "I'm sorry." I like that it casually teaches kids the importance of apologizing. It's very good in that it teaches young kids to apologize.
JM: Does this mean your priorities as a game developer have changed as you've gotten older?
YS: Well, the important thing is for a game to be a hit or else the company can't continue to make games. But, if a hit game can be made and also be a good influence, not only on the children but everyone who plays the game, that's a good thing.
One of the good things about Tomodachi Collection is that it is a good influence for the children but also, like Shenmue, it presents Japanese culture to the world. Shenmue was based in Japan and China and the game incorporated a lot of good things about these cultures. To the gamers in Europe and North America, playing Shenmue was like stepping into a foreign land, a different culture. So, it's important to portray Japan accurately and teach people what it's like in Japan. People all over the world played Shenmue and its success means that Japanese culture was seen and understood by people around the world. And that's very important. So, that's another reason why it's better that a game become a hit.
JM: Final question. Many years ago there was a newspaper advertisement promoting a "Virtua Fighter vs. Tekken." Was that concept ever supposed to become a game? Do you think a Virtua Fighter vs. Tekken game would work and if not, what franchises would you pair up?
YS: A long time ago we did a promotion with Virtua Fighter and Tekken characters. As a promotion and advertisement to get people's attention, I think it was a success and was good. But, it's not really my style and I don't like to mix games. I'm a purist. In my opinion, the only time you mix and match is when there are no new ideas and mixing is the last resort. So, it's not a very good thing. As long as there are new ideas, I'd rather prioritize working on new ideas.
JM: Then how do you rationalize Fighter's Megamix?
YS: [Fighter's Megamix director, Hiroshi] Kataoka likes that stuff.

Intresting InterviewPosted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by basilmaster
that was a great interview..you could see the reactions of YS to shenmue..after all he`s the god of that game..
i hope they release in on xbox live or in retail shops 1+2 on 360..and then 3..
the world needs that game..
YSan is the best their is,the best their was,and the best their ever will be..
nearly every game copied from shenmue
Interesting Interview!Posted: Jan 26, 2011 12:00AM PST by scrapmetalsimon
Very interesting to get some insight into the development world, especially at Sega. I really enjoyed reading about Suzuki-san's thought process behind some of his projects.
I heavily agree with the point that Sega seems to drop the ball on many of it's hit franchises, particularly with pacing. My wish is really to see some of these lost titles (Streets of Rage!) return. With all the success of downloadable titles like Scott Pilgrim, Limbo, Megaman 9 and 10, and even the new Sonic episodes...is it so impossible to think that older series' from the era of the Genesis couldn't be re-imagined? Particularly without having to heavily re-hash the graphics.
Let's see what comes from the rumors of Shenmue 3. Here's hoping it gains momentum and motivates the resurrection of other seemingly forgotten series.
Fantastic interview! Thank you so much.Posted: Jan 06, 2011 12:00AM PST by glassadam
That was a really great read. I liked the back-and-forth between Suzuki and Hirai, it was very entertaining. Also funny was his bottomless well of car metaphors!
I hope he has a hit with Shenmue World. Shenmue is possibly my favorite game of all time, and I would love to see a third chapter.
Thanks MilkmanPosted: Dec 31, 2010 12:00AM PST by KazeFoxx
Being on board with the Sony banadwagon for so long made me forget about the team I first started gaming with: Sega. Suzuki-san made some of the best games I've ever had the opportunity to play. I'm sad Sega went out the way it did, and even sadder that Suzuki-san disappeared with his genius for so long. Hopefully in th coming years fortune will smile on him, and he'll be able to make more ground breaking stuff for us gamers.
Thanks again for helping me remember my gaming roots.
I'm late, but I'm satisfiedPosted: Dec 25, 2010 12:00AM PST by xeros89
Meant to read all this for a long time...I love knowing more about our videogame heritage, especially the Japanese heritage since my favorite games have originated from the Land of the Rising Sun. It's funny how the Japanese language is so whimsical, yet so hard and stiff to translate to English given how polite and "inoffensive" the Japanese people are when discussing stuff.
Anyway, Shenmue II, on Dreamcast, imported from Europe, with full Japanese voice-acting, was my heaven. I adored that game and still do. Thank you Mielke and 1up!
deep, richPosted: Dec 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by Secret_Agent_X9
immediately google'd Toshihiro Nagoshi to see his, "deep, rich suntan." Well worth the effort.
Wow, that was a great interview...Posted: Dec 11, 2010 12:00AM PST by RetroJames
1UP, thanks for putting this up. Milk, thanks for caring enough about the industry enough to find Yu Suzuki, dig up this info, and then get it to us through the site. I'm glad/grateful that you did it.
I saw something pretty interesting on Engadget a few days ago that was mentioned in this interview - Check it out: http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/09/kinect-finally-fulfills-its-minority-report-destiny-video/
All things considered, I'd like to see this guy let loose again. It's been too long.
Thank YouPosted: Dec 11, 2010 12:00AM PST by combustible_lad
I'll never forget the hours I spent wondering around Yokosuka and Hong Kong tracking down Lan Di. Shenmue was such of formative title for me as a gamer, and your coverage of the game this week, as well as the interview with Mr. Suzuki, were much needed trip down memory lane.
Thank you, 1UP, for taking the time to highlight this incredible game, and the remarkable career of the man behind it.
Yu SuzukiPosted: Dec 10, 2010 12:00AM PST by Exevalon
Should become head of Sega. Then try to revive Sega to be better than in their glory days, give the development studios back their original names and start reviving awesome franchises. Make a new console and have the launch titles be: Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter, Virtua Cop, Virtua Tennis, Virtual On, Shenmue 3, Shining Force, Space Harrier, Afterburner, Golden Axe and a new Sonic the Hegdehog. Own each top genre and have a hit console. Sega has always had very strong First-Party development studios, and they could hold the fort until 3rd Party Studios get convinced and jump on the wagon too. And while your at it, have Yuji Naka bring out another Nights.
Wishful thinking, but Yu Suzuki sounds like someone which Sega needs in this day and age. Sega lost alot in the years leading to and following its departure from the Hardware business. Awesome interview Milky. How about hitting up sometime Yuji Naka?
Phoenix Rie!Posted: Dec 13, 2010 12:00AM PST by slagar
Seriously, incredible interview Milkie. Thank you so, so much!
If you're listening 1UP, another talent who is still at Sega I would like to hear from is Rieko Kodama ("Pheonix Rie")! She was behind the original Phantasy Star series, Skies of Arcadia, and has had her hand on many of Sega's hits.
I'm wondering what she's up to these days, and if she has any involvement in the upcoming Phantasy Star Online 2? (- which there seems to be no info on, other than a name, as yet). I'd die for a true next-gen Phantasy Star sequel, as well as another game in the Skies of Arcadia universe!
Nice interview.Posted: Dec 10, 2010 12:00AM PST by vessedeloup
I wonder why Yu Suzuki never tried to develop and release games independently.
I don't know if he was tied by a contract with Sega or if his loyalty to the company kept him from doing so, but with all the independent games getting released and sold succesfully these days, it's strange he didn't even try to start his own studio.
Maybe he doesn't want to go back to working like he was when started in the business... To work as a small developer must be hard when you've had huge budgets for previous projects.
You're right.Posted: Dec 10, 2010 12:00AM PST by vessedeloup
I had looked it up, but I couldn't find any information regarding a game that they would have had developed, so I just assumed wrongly that nothing ever came out of YS Net.
digitalspy.com says: "Although the game is developed by Sunsoft, Susuki and his company YS Net wrote the scenario and produced the game."
So he did actually end up working outside of Sega. My comment was more about why he resorted to release something like Shenmue World just now, after all these years. It would have been fun see the Psy-Phy project released at some point.
Kick Ass Awesome InterviewPosted: Dec 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by SNKrenaissance
Yu Suzuki made many of my favorite games ever. This here is why 1up rules.
Ridle answerd ^^Posted: Dec 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by streum13
Shenhua will ask Ryo a hypothetical question like: "There are four animals; a monkey, cat, dog and bird. You are crossing the river but you need to leave one behind. Which one will you leave behind?"
I'll leave the bird because it can fly.
Edit; oops I didn't read the end of the page ^^;
shenmue 3, yes your canPosted: Dec 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by godsaveshenmue
before 10 years ago, now is the moment, shenmue 3 yeeeessssssssssssssssssss shenmue 3 yeeeessssssssssssssssssss
InterestingPosted: Dec 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by solidsnakered
That there was no mention of motion control or the emphasis on 3D technology in the way of games of today.
Except for when we actually did discuss motion control?Posted: Dec 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by Milkman
In the first half of the interview, we discussed the following point:
JM: Now that Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are all making motion controllers, do you think it's like the arcades being reborn in the living room?
YS: Yeah, Sega should have made a motion controller. Sega has the most arcade experience -- input, output, the whole package.
Great interview.Posted: Dec 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by jellishot
I never really was an arcade rat or that much of a Sega fan before Dreamcast, but I was aware of what they were doing. I loved hearing all of Mr Suzuki's stories about the early days and arcade development, along with his thoughts on the current state of the game industry.
It's a shame that he couldn't get a lot of games approved at Sega (after they began struggling financially and were bought out), even with his reputation. The nice thing is, with so many different platforms and downloadable games nowadays, I'm sure he can get more of his concepts out there (though he doesn't strike me as the type to work on simple, cheap-to-produce games).
The man...Posted: Dec 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by DackDavros
Great article! I have been wondering for the last decade what happened to Yu Suzuki, and now I know. I really hope he gets something approved, developed and out the door at some point in the future. That awsome talent going to waste labouring away in the darkest depths of Sega.
Get out of there and join Platinum, Yu!
Great interview MielkePosted: Dec 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by TheAussieBeast
How i miss Shenmue....that's the game that made buy the Dreamcast....I can only pray to the gaming gods that someone someday will decide to fund 3.
Thank You 1 UPPosted: Dec 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by shenmueguyx
This is the best interview I have ever read on any gaming website. Thank you for this and great dedication to get it. Can't wait for the rest.
Shenmue will never die.
Wish Donald Trump was a fan and just give 1 billion to help yu suzuki make his own company bring great games and bring life to Shenmue for us. I honestly don't want Shenmue 3 alone.
I wanted it to be a brand, like halo, zelda or metal gear solid. Imagine seeing a shenmue reel playing at the times square screens or a large ad in manhattan. It was heading there when it was the first game to be on the cover of of TV guide. Its just bad luck. But like he said never say never.
I wish you asked him about metal gear solid though and if he would ever work with hideo kojima. Thats something I wanted to know.
I also love the fact that he notices so many games influenced by Shenmue are hits. TAKE THAT SEGA. If you green lighted Shenmue 3, it would have been your GTA. But I guess they have that with Yakuza. Maybe the guy with that extreme tan (who made yakuza) could be a man and look back to his master and say "Yu suzuki - san I am here to help you with Shenmue. Lets make it happen."
Thanks...Posted: Dec 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by San_Andreas
...for this interview. I hope Mr. Suzuki will one day return to the forefront of gaming. Until then, the closest we have is the Yakuza series, inspired by him... and one of my favorite game franchises in this day and age.
I always felt it was sad that Mr. Suzuki essentially got "kicked upstairs" afte r Shenmue's financial losses.
Another Fascinating ReadPosted: Dec 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by Pacario
Probably most intriguing is how Mr. Suzuki himself has changed over the years. It's a little odd that the guy who created such hardcore and big budget masterpieces as Virtua Fighter and Shenmue claims his favorite titles are currently Tomadachi Collection and Animal Crossing--games that are essentially the antitheses to his earlier masterworks--but this also reveals how times, and great minds, evolve over the years.
Can't wait to see what he develops on the future.
Simply fantastic.Posted: Dec 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by orient
The whole hypothetical dialogue scenario between Ryo and Shenhua, and the concept of the game expanding inward, not outward...these are the first details that Yu Suzuki has ever given on Shenmue III since the launch of Shenmue II. I can't thank James Mielke enough for uncovering this. It may not seem like a lot to some, but for the people that have been waiting 8 years for any news whatsoever, then it's a huge deal.
Great article. It's really sad to know that his "disappearance" in recent years is mainly due to higher-ups failing to green-lighting his ideas. The industry is so fucked up.
Yu Suzuki would clearly do anything for Shenmue, emphasized by the fact that he would move to the US, with his family, if it meant Shenmue III being made. Heart-wrenching.
Thanks again.
I recently re-listened to the (classic) Retronauts Sega Saturn episode...Posted: Dec 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by Wonkers_the_Watilla
...which you were on, Milky. Thinking back to that episode, it really seems like that episode served as an early counterpart to this new interview. Some of the questions you asked here are very similar to topics and ideas you previously commented on in that episode a couple years ago. I found it fascinating back then, and it makes this interview with Suzuki-san especially enlightening. An example would be your observation that Sega allows some of their best IPs to languish until they are almost completely forgotten. Back then you brought up Panzer Dragoon as an example of this, and oddly enough, Sega and Microsoft are now developing a new Panzer Dragoon for Kinect. Spot on.
I could have wished for more info on any sort of effect the working relationship of Peter Moore or even Isao Okawa had on Suzuki at the time, but what's here in the interview was already good enough.
Anyway, I want to thank you and 1up for doing this feature and interview. I may not drag out my copy of Shenmue and play it to celebrate, but I will at least soak in my nostalgic daydreams for a while thinking of it.
What a read!Posted: Dec 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by Skull06
What a refreshing read. Much like Shenmue itself, the interview is full of soul and devoid of a lot of the ego, pretentiousness and cliches of most modern journalism--both gaming and otherwise. Thank you so much 1up and Mr. Mielke for this rare insight into Mr. Suzuki and all of his games.
love segaPosted: Dec 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by ishy82
owned a mega drive, saturn and dreamcast. most enjoyable video game moments were on dreamcast. one of the best consoles ever bar none. had everything and still failed. still love sega to this day, over nintendo any day. very interesting read. also saw microsoft as the next sega for videogames, although not a microsft fan. they were the update of dreamcast just chunkier, even had the online and similar controller with slots. took what sega failed and made it a success. own a 360 now.
I dunno...Posted: Dec 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by blubluskies91
SEGA. MICROSOFT. INCOMPARABLE. The only thing that links these two companies is that Microsoft took the market position that Sega had, after leaving console business. I, as a devout SEGA fan never made the Xbox switch. Why? Because Microsoft/Xbox couldn't even begin to develop some of the most unique and innovative titles that we have seen on Sega consoles. Only console manufacturers, who start out as game developers are able to have this position in the market. We see this with the example of Nintendo and their own exclusive ip, giving them a more illustrious position in the market. Sega was once just like this, if not even more so. I believe Microsoft/Xbox 360 is more likely a comparison to Playstation brand model.Corporations, heatless and soulless, just in it for the money
this is just brilliant!Posted: Dec 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by meetthetapir
I read the interview during lunch time and went to work und just today the rain turned to snow, you know. I thought immediately about some really great hours I spent with Shenmue, the atmosphere and all this stuff.
So greatPosted: Dec 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by MattClark
What an amazing read.
Just want to say a huge thanks to Milkman, not only for this kick-ass article, but more specifically, for asking those Space Harrier questions. Space Harrier is my favorite old-school game, and those two insights are just freakin' incredible.
I used to always say, while playing SH on the Master System, that the bonus sequence where you ride on the white caterpillar's back was the "luck dragon" section. Now, totally justified.
1UPPosted: Dec 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by solidarsin
These are the types of articles which go indepth and reveal truths rarely seen that make me happy to be apart of 1UP.
To all apart of the 1UP family thank you for still going strong. May this lead to many more insightful and very interesting stories.

It pains me to find out that Yu Suzuki's disappearance from making games was SEGA's fault! He had plenty of ideas and SEGA refused them, its disgusting after all the money he made for them, to be treated this way.. Yu is absolutely right. SEGA as a hardware manufacturer is much more interesting then SEGA today. STOP MAKING ME PLAY SONIC ON NINTENDO

Very informative - I knew nothing of him and very little of his work prior to reading this interview.
I hope to see more articles / interviews like this in the future. Great work JM.

Paging Through: Mysteries
My parents are snowbirds (when the snow flies, so do they) so they often read this column after it has run. They've recently returned to their Brookfield nest, and my mom wasted no time influencing this month's recommendations. After finishing Susan Elia MacNeal's "His Majesty's Hope" (Bantam, $15), the third in an engrossing WWII series, my mom said, "You need to recommend this and the author needs to write faster."
Maggie Hope, the series hero, has dreamed of becoming a spy ever since she was a "typist to Prime Minister Winston Churchill" and then a "maths tutor to the Princess Elizabeth" at Windsor. As the Nazis tighten their grip across Europe, Maggie gets her chance. Thanks to her secret training (including lessons from a "Glaswegian safecracker"), her keen intelligence with codes, and her "big stones" (as the Brits say), Maggie is recruited to an elite group of spies to infiltrate the offices of the Nazi hierarchy. »Read Full Article

Whiskey of the Damned sing of fighting off demons
If Milwaukee went by any other nickname, Whiskey of the Damned frontman Eoin McCarthy may not have ended up here.
"My dad is a musician (Irish singer-songwriter and comedian Finbar McCarthy), and while we were living in Spain, we got a visa to come here," said McCarthy, a part-time landscaper and cook at the Anvil in Cedarburg and the Tracks. "When you immigrate to America, they give you a list of cities and their nicknames so you can declare where you're going. We looked at the list, and my mom said, 'Right, that's where we're going, Brewtown.'" »Read Full Article(5)
Milwaukee Chamber Theatre taps past in 'October, Before I Was Born'
Lori Matthews grounded her play, "October, Before I Was Born," in a specific historical incident: the Tennessee Eastman Co. explosion of Oct. 4, 1960, which killed 16 people and injured 200 more.
But the dramatic situation she depicts — three edgy relatives waiting to hear the fate of their loved ones after an industrial accident — will remind readers of many other events, such as the trapped Chilean miners, whose ordeal was underway while Matthews was drafting her play, or last year's fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, or the Falk Corp. propane gas explosion here in 2006. »Read Full Article

Adorable studio, equipped well, beautiful bathroom, small balcony, calm, close to the center...very good !
Flora is adorable !
Last summer we stayed at this great appartment in Budapest's centre! It is a wonderful building with tall ceilings and cool inside atmosphere. Despite of the outside heat it was never hot inside the appartment. Also we enjoyed the nice balcony where you can share a meal, have a drink after a busy sightseeing day:)
Flora is extremely friendly and nice! And she speaks English!!! We found this outstanding in Hungary!
Great place, great location - we definitely recommend it to the wimdu community!
The apartment is wonderful:
- Well located, close to all commodities and tournist attractions
- Very clean, well furnished and quiet
What's more, we really enjoyed the balcony which is perfect to rest and share a drink!
Flora is a great host, she was really accomodating during our stay and provided us good advice.
We strongly recommend this place.
Nice location, apartment was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. Really helpful hosts!
Flora was an excellent host. The apartment is in a quiet section of Budapest, located only one block from St. Stephan street and the tram. The apartment faces an interior courtyeard and is exceptionally quiet. This apartment suited our needs perfectly and we would definitely stay here again. Also, the location is conveniently located to many reasonably priced eating establishments.
We had an excellent stay at Danube Tatra Garden View. Very bright and tidy studio with lovely terrace. Very close to public transport. Excellent choice if you want to visit Budapest.
We spent 5 nights in apartment, nice, clean and modern. Big plus for balcony! Very good location, close to city centre and transportation. The neighborhood was also very nice, with good restaurants and interesting shops. Host was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again if we come back!
we spent 6 days at Flora's apartment and enjoyed our stay there. the apartment is very clean good located, closed to the river, margaret island and the central station.
there are some small shops near by and a really nice bakery, Flora recommended us. We had a really nice time in budapest, with sightseeing and relaxing in a the spa.
I can recommend the flat and Budapest. Its a great city! Thank you!
Hey, stayed two nights in Floras appartment and I was sad to leave. It is really beautifull and very central.
its quiet and clean and we felt absolutlly comfortable.
Flora and her husband were so friendly and the contact was very easy. We will return...
In September 2011 we were in Budapest and we spend a week in Floras flat. It was great.
Flora greeted us very nice and friendly. The location of the flat is fantastic - town center, about 2-3 minutes walkway to the Danube, furthermore it was very guiet and peaceful. The balcony was facing the garden were big old trees are standing.
Flora and her friend tried hard to help with everything (even finding a good parking area what is really difficult in Budapest).
Summary: If we will ever travel again to Budapest - with much pleasure to Flora.

Which lens for Nikon D7100?

Re: Which lens for Nikon D7100?
In reply to lilou • Apr 3, 2013
When I got my D90 I purchased the 16-85 f3.5-5.6 along with the kit 18-105. The plan of couse was to send the 16-85 back if it did not meet my needs. I kept the 16-85 and got rid of the 18-105 and have never looked back. Its been my walk about lens since then. Now use it on my D7100 and am very pleased with the results. Supposedly the 16-85 is available on e-bay at much reduced prices. I am not a e-bay kind of guy with camera equipment but some people absolutely swear by the quality of the equipment they come across.
Besides the obvious f4 cannot tell you any more about the newer 16-85!

Gone are days when we need to make Christmas puddings months in advance of yuletide - this lighter pudding, made with Australian ingredients may be made just before Christmas.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
- Serves:8
- Degree of difficulty:Medium
300g macadamia nuts
4 large eggs (67g)
375ml beer (stout or ale)
1kg mixed dried fruit with peel
100g dried apricots
150g breadcrumbs (preferably home made)
200g self-raising flour
Grated rind of 1 lemon
1 tsp grated nutmeg
2 Tbsp Australian brandy or orange liqueur to pour over when serving (optional)
Process or chop macadamias into a course meal (it will not matter if a few larger pieces are left) and beat the eggs with the beer.
In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients and then pour in the egg and beer mixture (Get everyone in the family to stir the mixture for good luck) then leave mixture to stand overnight.
Next day, grease or oil 2 x 1 litre or 4 x 500ml pudding basins.
Stir mixture once more and put a dollop in each basin, leaving about 2cm clear at the top.
Press mixture down.
Cover each pudding mix with a piece of non-stick baking paper cut to size.
Cover each basin with piece of cloth tied down with string.
Place the basins in large saucepans.
Pour in boiling water to come half way up the outside of the basins.
Put lid on saucepans and steam puddings over low heat for four hours, checking every so often to make sure there is still water in the pan.
Serving suggestions
Turn the pudding out onto a warm plate. If flaming the pudding, warm cognac or orange liqueur. Light the match, pour liqueur over pudding and light. Serve with vanilla ice cream or cream or both.

The Great American Lobster Race returns to downtown Aiken on Friday.
Thousands are drawn to the Newberry Street Festival Center each year to watch more than 100 crustaceans scuttle their way to the Lobster Downs finish line, competing for a chance to return to the great blue ocean.
This will be the 29th running of the Great American Lobster Race of Aiken and average annual attendance is 12,000.
The event will be held from 6 to 11 p.m. at the Newberry Street Festival Center and includes not only the races, but live music, food, rides and games.
Live music stages will be located in and around The Alley; featured bands this year include Merging Traffic, Palmetto Groove, Anybody's Guess and Midnight Crossing.
Organizers have said a few things will be a little different this year. The event team is focusing on making Newberry Street a family area. A disc jockey will offer some age-appropriate music for teenagers to enjoy. A stage for all community and kids' performances will be set up at the end of Newberry Street at Richland Avenue, and the lobster races will be set up at the corner of Park Avenue and Newberry Street.
Races will start at 7:30 p.m.
The lobsters, which arrive in Aiken the day before, are kept in large tubs of water that are adjusted to the perfect temperature and salinity. The water is circulated from the tubs into Lobster Downs for the actual races.
The winner is released back into the ocean. The loser gets the "melted butter" award.
Conceived as a spoof of the Kentucky Derby and to pay a nod to the impact of the horse industry locally, the inaugural Lobster Race was held in Aiken in 1984.
This year, arm bands for rides will not be for sale but rather tickets.
Tickets at the gate are $10. Students with a school ID will be admitted for $5. Children 6 and younger will be admitted free.
The 2013 Lobster Race T-shirt is $20, and those wearing one will get in free. Those shirts can be bought at Atlantic Broadband, Hitchcock Healthcare, All-Star Rents, Lionel Smith Ltd. and Screenprint Factory.
For more information, visit www.lobsterrace.com.

Range Description
Leopard seals are widely-distributed in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic waters of the southern Hemisphere, occurring from the coast of the Antarctic Continent north throughout the pack ice and at most sub-Antarctic islands. There is a seasonal presence of juveniles at Kerguelen and Macquarie Islands with the greater numbers being sighted in September and October (Borsa 1990, Rounseveld and Eberhard 1980). Vagrants regularly reach warm temperate latitudes. They haulout on ice and on land, often preferring ice floes near shore when these are available (Kooyman 1981, Rice 1998, Bengtson 2002).

Rock Bridge Falls
[ Click photo to enlarge ] | Add To "My Gallery" | Make this photo your desktop wallpaper
Awards / Publications:
- Published in Teldon's America's Midwest wall calendar
- Published Summer 2011 edition of Nature Photographer Magazine Digital Edition as part of an article I wrote on Hocking Hills Photography.
That was the story for this shot – and the whole day in fact.
We heard the first drop hit the camper the night before and it didn't slow down till nearly lunch the next day. In fact, we had lunch and it was still drizzling. We figured it was about to quit, and with the amount of rainfall that was just delivered, Rock Bridge was bound to have a pretty cool waterfall going on. So, we drove over and started hiking.
And it started raining – hard.
It's only about a mile, but man, what a wet, muddy mile. Fortunately, it slowed up enough by the time we arrived at the falls to shoot.
The rock sticking across the frame you see on the left is the actual "Rock Bridge" and the trail leads you to the top of it.
Now, my plan was simply to shoot the top of the falls looking across, but as I shot, I dropped a lens hood ALL the way down. I could see it from the top, so I decided I'd go around and down to see if I could retrieve the silly thing (they're crazy expensive).
As I worked my way around I came across the scene you see here! WAY better than the view from the top. Normally, this falls is little more than a dribble, but the intense rain really brought it to life. I had to wait between shots as my 9 year old son Grant played around the falling water.
About Our Prints....
I currently sell individual prints only. Each image is custom printed in house by me on our commercial grade inkjet printer. Each print is individually inspected and carefully packaged for shipment.
Please note that if you'd like another type of print (canvas for example) or another frame style, we can certainly accommodate you, just use the contact us page and we'll customize the artwork to make it perfect for your home.
(Note - we are no longer offering framed prints. The potential for damage in transit was very high and the shipping for large framed prints was outrageous, sometimes costing over $100 for larger pieces. Additionally, we've found our clients seem happier when they can work with their own local framing shop.)
Our framed prints are guaranteed for as long as you own them against wear, fading, or deterioration. Loose prints are also guaranteed for as long as you own them provided you have them framed under glass using archival materials. We want you to LOVE your prints, so we offer a refund as long as the print or framed print is returned in like new condition within 30 days.
All prints have a signature in the corner, usually the lower right hand when possible.
Delivery time varies and depends on a number of factors, but we always strive to get your prints delivered to you as quickly as possible. I personally inspect each and every piece before it leaves our building. If I'm out of town taking more photos, it can cause a delay, but a good rule of thumb is that a loose print will ship within 2 weeks and a framed print within 3 weeks. That time is significantly shorter if I'm in town at the time the order is placed. If you need a print done by a certain date, you can contact me and I'll be happy to give you an estimated delivery date.
We are now offering quantity discounts if you are interested in two or more pieces. Simply contact me with the sizes and names of the images you are interested in and I will be happy to get you a quote. The more pieces you order, the better the discount.
Thanks for your interest!

Nice site! Like how you broke it down to state by state. I went to Hocking Hill inspired to take a shot like yours. Nothing was flowing. It's raining up in Detroit right now, but dry as a bone in Hocking Hill. I did like House Rock. Amazing place! I will be back to try again when the water is flowing. Your shots are killer. You nailed it on a few! Great use of light.
Just glorious felt like I could step right in, and thats hard to do when you live in the desert.
