Good in soup.
Publié par HildeK le Jul 08, 2012
But be aware of that it clumps a bit. Use a blender or something to make it nice and smooth before having it in the soup, and it goes fine.

I used this to make hummus. It was really good. I like it compared to canned chick peas. I have not compared against fresh chick peas.
Bean Flours Are Super!
Publié par Reviewer1995652 le Jan 26, 2011
This flour is finely milled, very consistent, and lends itself to a variety of baking applications: in pancakes, corn meal, etc. It has a mild flavor. I only wish it were avaiable as organic.
Good product

When looking at the picture of a new york slice at reply #12 from the attached thread (http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,13442.0.html) it seems the slice is very different than the results people are getting from following either the Lehmann formula for the Reinhart formula. As such, if the picture is definately representative of new york pizza should the New York Style be split into "Elite New York" (which seems most users are producing) and "New York Slice"?I have never had a New York slice or even been to New York for that matter, but if the picture from the above post is representative than it seems to be something different than is being produced by users of this board. Even taking into account that most of us (except Norma) are unable to bake 18" and 20" pies due to oven limitation, the 16" and 12" pies being produced by users are different quite a bit different that the slice mentioned above.I am of course asking this question very naively. Is the Rheinhart and Lehmann recipe more applicable for an Elite style or a New York Slice style? If they can be used for both styles, it is interesting that most users go for the "Elite" style.I think the recent pizzas made by Norma and John using the Reinhart recipe (and anything Pete-zza makes) are unbelievable and I would much rather try to replicate their results than replicate the pizza slice provided as a sample of a New York slice (just my 2 cents). Of course from the slice picture I have no idea of the taste, which could be remarkable.
Thanks Norma,Great information. Confusing, yes. Many variations, yes.I guess my main question is, "Does that photo represent a typical New York Slice?"I would love to see some more photos of pizza slices from New York pizzerias specializing in slices.Thanks for your help.
I guess my main question is, "Does that photo represent a typical New York Slice?"
I think that is 1 of the bad things about italian american cooking..... the overuse of oregano.
I think the overuse of oregano is bad, but the overuse of dried basil is 10 times worse, imo. Dried basil is the kiss of death for any sauce, be it for pizza or pasta.
gabaghool and anyone else - Would you say Apizza Scholls is at the level of elite pizza? I guess I shouldn't say elite as they use a deck oven. I'm not geographically able to visit any new York place, but am just down the street from Apizza Scholls and Kens Artisan so these may be my best shot at comparable(?) New York Pizza, street or elite.
Dry basil......a hideous version of the real thing.....Now, oregano, on the other hand, is, i'll, is one of the ONLY herbs made better by drying out. In fact, in the town I came from in italy oregano was NEVER used fresh...so I can't get the trend of using it fresh....
But far be it for me to tell an Italian guy from NYC with the name of Bruno that he is using a thickness factor that is too high, and that he shouldnt use eggs and he shouldnt call his pizza a New York style.
Mike,I converted Bruno's recipe to baker's percent format at Reply 10 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,12883.msg125253/topicseen.html#msg125253, from which you will see that there are a lot of differences from Luigi's dough, although many of the processing techniques are similar.Peter
Compared to yours, I think the only amount that's different are the eggs. How did you calculate the eggs?
Mike,I used the data from http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/111/2. Six eggs at 50 grams each.Peter
Egg sizeNot all hens lay eggs of the same size. The size of an egg depends on several factors, for example the breed of the hen, the weight of the hen, the hen's age, what the hen was fed on and the environment in which the hen was brought up.Although there are quite a number of different sized eggs, the sizes that you will see on your supermarket shelves will be medium, large and extra large.The majority of cooking recipes will specify for large eggs however, you could use the equivalent in medium or extra large eggs. 1 large egg is the equivalent of 1 medium egg or 1 extra large egg. 2 large eggs is the equivalent of 2 medium eggs or 2 extra large eggs. 3 large eggs is the equivalent of 4 medium eggs or 3 extra large eggs. 4 large eggs is the equivalent of 5 medium eggs or 4 extra large eggs. 5 large eggs is the equivalent of 6 medium eggs or 5 extra large eggs. Eggs are sized on their weight. Therefore, medium eggs weigh between 53 - 63g, large eggs weigh between 63 - 73g and extra large eggs weigh more than 73g.

Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake Cupcakes
Serving Size = 32 cupcakes
Adapted From: Annie's Eats
For the Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 lbs cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- About 6 tablespoons of chocolate sauce, click here for recipe or use store bought (such as Hershey's, or whatever you would use in chocolate milk)
- Preheat oven to 325F. Line cupcake pans with cupcake liners.
- Mix together the ingredients for the crust, until all of it has been moistened. Put 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- With a stand mixer, or hand mixer, beat together the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the sugar and mix until smooth. Add the salt and vanilla, mix again. Add the eggs, one at a time, until just combined (do not over mix, and keep the speed low). When done, finish mixing with a spoon if it isn't already completely combined. Do not over mix this part.
- Place 3 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into each cupcake liner.
- Place 1/2 teaspoon of chocolate sauce into each cupcake liner, dotting it around a bit. With a toothpick, swirl the chocolate to create the marbled effect.
- Bake in the oven for 22 minutes, or until the filling sets, rotating the pans halfway through. They will puff up, but will deflate as they cool. Place the pans on a wire rack and let cool to room temperature. Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving.
Even though I didn't make the raspberry sauce, here is the recipe in case you want to replace the chocolate sauce with this one instead.
- 6 ounces fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Blend in a blender and then put through a fine mesh strainer.

ELLE DECOR Goes To Saratoga And The Adirondacks
There are two ways to enjoy party planner and designer David Stark's new book, The Art of the Party. You can admire it as a coffee table book full of images from his show-stopping events, or treat it like a handbook for imbuing your own parties with the joie de vivre and excitement Stark's events are know for.
One theme both types of readers will notice throughout is Stark's clever habit of creating glamorous decorations out of humble materials. "I am attracted to everyday materials," he tells us. "But I don't use them as a starting point—instead I'm thinking about what the event is about and what tools are specific to the organization or people throwing it."
Case in point: the paper flower chandlier at a Detroit garden wedding of a couple with a passion for paper artistry. Click through for some of our favorite examples of Stark's inventive uses for materials such as paper, tape, pencils, and more.
"My trajectory working in design and events really started with flowers," Stark tells us. "But somewhere along the way I realized that while flowers are one wonderful tool in the box, they're not the only one. Different events call for different materials."
Here, at a fund-raiser for the American Patrons of the Tate Museum, Stark used colored pencils as the basis of much of the decor. "You can harness the intrinsic beauty of inexpensive materials if you invest time and labor to transform them into an object of beauty," he writes. "Just remember that when you calculate your material costs, you must also budget something for your time."

By Rhadi Ferguson - M.A.T., CSCS and Juan Carlos Santana - M. Ed, CSCS
I remember when I was growing up people used to call the house and ask my mother for some advice. The funny thing about it was, my mother is a lawyer. I used to see the frustration on her face sometimes when she would get off of the phone and she would say, "I'm an attorney, all I have to give is advice." And I understand her frustration now. As a strength and conditioning professional and the Vice President of Intocombat.com I can tell you that the most frequent question that I get asked is, "Can you write me a program?" and the other one is "Hey, can I ask you a question about my training program?" Before I get upset or become frustrated I think about my mother. And the one thing that I always remember is that she was always willing to help out even through her frustration.
As judo practitioners and strength coaches, Juan Carlos and I looked at the judo population and asked, how can we help out? We believe that the one thing that makes all of us proud is to see individuals achieve and know that they did their best in an effort to reach their dreams, so we decided to share some things that we have learned from training some of the world's best athletes, mixed martial arts fighter, brazilian jiujitsu players and judokas.
The sport of judo has changed - the principles of the art are the same, but the game has changed. Just like football and basketball. The fundamentals of the sport are still the fundamentals and it is imperative to know them in order to put oneself at an advantageous position for success. Nowadays, successful competition in the sport of judo requires an enormous amount of resources. It requires for the judoka to run their life of judo as if it were a business. And that means getting or "hiring" the best people or human resources for the job. These resources are not only physical in nature, but include psychological, spiritual, and financial components as well, not to mention the time and knowledge needed to train and compete at a high level. The modern judo dojo, as well as the individual judoka, must not only acknowledge the existence of these resources, but also have a keen understanding of how to develop and manage them.
What we have found out is that a failure to develop and manage this "package of resources" will lead to suboptimal performance and wasted potential. And we all have a "clock" that is ticking. Everyday, every practice and every session to get must be used to get better. Therefore, sophisticated planning and purposeful training will dominate the judo arena. It's cliché but people don't plan to fail, they fail to plan.
To successfully manage all the resources of today's judo player, one must first understand the nature of the biggest obstacle to overcome - tradition. There are two types of Judo. Yes, there are. There is Judo: The Sport and Judo: The Martial Art. When it comes to the sport of judo sometimes the obstacle of tradition is very hard to overcome. What are some of the traditional concepts that govern the psyche of today's judo?
Tradition is at the core of the cultural identity of any sport. And judo's identity on the world scale is known as being a hard core and rough and tough sport. It is known for its relentless action, tough training camps, high arching throws, submission and bone crushing falls. Although this tradition has cultural and spiritual roots that can be used to inspire and motivate, it can be the enemy of evolution, innovation, and advancement. A perfect example of the need to step out of the "box" of tradition can be seen in the today's judo competition. Ever since Aurelio Miguel of Brazil won a gold medal in the 1992 Olympics without scoring a point on anyone - we've seen the game of judo change. Some would say for the worse and some would say for the better, but the fact is - the game has changed!
The evolution of judo has taught us a valuable lesson: in order to be a pioneer, you not only have to accept uncertainty and change, you must embrace them. This means that the psyche of today's modern sport judoka must undergo a shift in paradigm. The new fabric of the modern judo players training quilt must have these threads running through it:
As judo has shifted its fighting and competition paradigm, the judoka and coach must change their approach to preparation. The career of a judoka, as well as the philosophy of a school, must be planned and continuously evaluated! The first step is to acknowledge and understand a very important point: With the influence of mixed martial arts, brazilian jiujitsu, sambo, and submission wrestling - the sport of judo is evolving, so no one person knows everything, and nobody needs to. Experts from various disciplines and areas of expertise (i.e., finances, management, physiology, sport coaches, health care providers, etc.) must be incorporated into a cohesive team. The goal of this team must be to develop a model where the judoka can develop and excel to their full potential.
This team of professionals must create a sensible plan and STICK TO IT!! Regular evaluation (e.g., every 2-3 months and after each major competition) will ensure that the plan stays updated, specific and effective. The results of competition and feedback from the athlete (biofeedback) will provide all of the data required to zero in on the specifics necessary for advancement. Today's modern judoka and his or her supporting cast have nothing to lose and everything to gain by shifting their preparation paradigm. Knowledge and courage are needed for the mind to accept what the eyes see, and even more courage is needed to act on the knowledge the mind acquires. Change is scary sometimes, but advancement requires all of us to divorce ourselves from marriage of traditionalism and mediocrity. Change is not only good, it's necessary.

Mayor Kevin Johnson posted a truly odd response on his campaign blog Thursday to critics of his move to ferret out a City Hall leaker.. He loves accountability, he wrote in his first line. "Not one day has passed without me talking about accountability," he said.
Now, he continued, he is asking the city council for accountability:
At the October 20 city council meeting, in a brief remark, I asked the City Manager to investigate how privileged city documents were being leaked to the media. My request puts several people in uncomfortable positions. The people who leaked the material are uncomfortable. And the media are uncomfortable. But the comfort of those people and organizations is not my concern.
Leaking, he writes, is "sneaky and dishonest." It "destroys" the government's ability to function. Really?
He further notes that the leaked documents were "written under the attorney-client privilege." Doesn't he know that the clients are under no obligation to keep documents secret? The council and mayor have the right to share legal memos with the public (and, some might even say, a duty to do so if they involve public issues).
As for the leaker or leakers, he essentially calls them cowards for not publicly stepping forward.
Johnson's blog post is an apparent response to an editorial The Bee published on Thursday:
Through his actions and words, he seems to care more about who leaked a confidential memo to The Bee detailing serious violations of city policy and federal regulations than about the violations themselves. At Tuesday night's council meeting, a steaming Johnson called for a closed-door council session attended by the city police chief. He wanted the chief there to discuss what he called "the crime" committed when a memo written by City Attorney Eileen Teichert about the Natomas permit violations was leaked to The Bee. ...This incident demands a thorough, open and independent investigation, not closed-door meetings intended to plug leaks and hide information from the public.
We're glad we got the mayor's attention.

Next week, Union College will host a ribbon cutting and grand opening ceremony for the new Center for Health and Natural Sciences.
The event will be Thursday, Oct. 31 from 2-5 p.m. at the new building, which formerly housed the Knox County Hospital. The ribbon cutting ceremony will be at 2 p.m. with other activities to follow, including a reception and tours.
There will be several distinguished guests present for the ceremony. They include Marcia Hawkins, Ph.D, president of Union College; Paul Isaacs, Union College board of trustees chair; David Thompson, mayor of Barbourville; J.M. Hall, Knox County Judge-Executive; Robert Stivers, Kentucky Senate president; and Shannon Rickett, field representative for Rep. Harold "Hal" Rogers, U.S. congressman. Gov. Steve Beshear has also been invited.
The Center for Health and Natural Sciences is home to Union's fully accredited nursing and athletic training programs, natural science classes, as well as the psychology department. Classes have been meeting in the building regularly since the start of the fall semester.
The renovation of the building was aided by a $1.5 million grant received from the U.S. Department of Commerce in September. Matt S. Erskine, the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development, traveled to Union in the fall to publicly announce the grant.
While on campus, Erskine noted that the building and the Union College departments housed in it, will lead to fiscal growth in the Knox County area. In a press release concerning the grants, Erskine, along with U.S. House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers reiterated that.
"The EDA grants announced today will help establish a new…facility at Union College to train workers for jobs in the region's growing health care sector," Erskine said.
"These EDA grants go a step further, helping us prepare for a greater health care workforce and address infrastructure improvement needs," Rogers said.

Mobile phone-based smoking cessation interventions increase long-term quit rates compared with control programmes, but effects of the interventions are heterogeneous

Commentary on:
Implications for practice and research
Meta-analysis of five studies shows that smoking cessation delivered predominantly via automated text messaging increases quit rates 47–99% compared with minimal intervention.
Mobile phone cessation interventions provide quitting tips, social support and motivational messages, tailored to quit stage, multiple times per day at limited cost.
Although healthcare providers are moderately adherent with practice guidelines for asking, advising and assessing tobacco use, adherence to assisting and arranging cessation services remains poor, often due to limited time and training.1 ,2 Referral to quit lines has been an established means for providing these cessation services,3 but the growing ubiquity of mobile phones now provides the opportunity to deliver cessation …

FN 40 Under 40 in investment banking: Advisory
This week Financial News released its FN 40 Under 40 list of the investment banking industry's rising stars. Here we profile the advisory bankers who made the cut.
Rosie Bailey Executive director, UK investment banking Morgan Stanley Age 33 Bailey joined Lazard after graduating from Oxford University in 2000, moving to Morgan Stanley in 2006 where she now works in the UK investment banking team. Described as "a class act" by market participants, she has worked on a number of transactions in the exchange space, advising the London Stock Exchange on its $705m acquisition of the remaining 50% stake in indices provider FTSE, and US commodities exchange IntercontinentalExchange on the $602m acquisition of the Climate Exchange. Other deal highlights include advising on the $811m sale of shoe designer Jimmy Choo to Labelux Group and Terra Firma's $438m bid for Garden Centre Group. She is currently on maternity leave and is due to return to work in January.
Jonathan Bathard-Smith Managing director, corporate broking Barclays Age 37 When Barclays made the decision to build a corporate broking business from scratch, Bathard-Smith was a natural fit. Six years earlier, he'd been part of a group to join Morgan Stanley from Merrill Lynch, where under senior colleagues Paul Baker and Alisdair Gayne he helped found the corporate broking team. Since his appointment as a founding member of Barclays' corporate broking team alongside Gayne and Jim Renwick, who joined from UBS, Barclays has assembled more than 20 corporate broking clients, including 10 in the FTSE 100. Earlier this year, Bathard-Smith worked on the $436m sale of UK aerospace equipment company Umeco to Cytec Industries of the US.
Laurent Benshimon Head of financial restructuring team, Paris Houlihan Lokey Age 38 Benshimon graduated from ESCP-EAP European School of Management and then spent three years working at Salomon Smith Barney/Citigroup, focusing on mergers and acquisitions and capital raising in Europe before joining Houlihan Lokey in 2003. He has worked on some of the highest-profile corporate restructurings in France this year, including the $4.6bn debt restructuring of the world's third-largest container shipping group CMA CGM; the €415m restructuring of chemical manufacturer Novasep; and the €411m restructuring of Orco Property Group's debt. He has also previously worked on deals including Euro Disney and Eurotunnel and private equity-backed companies including Frans Bonhomme, Deutsch Group and Monier Group.
Jakub Brogowski Director, oil and gas investment banking RBC Capital Markets Age 33 Having graduated from University of Calgary in 2002, Brogowski flirted with the idea of moving to London after an extended stay in the UK while travelling. Instead, he returned to Calgary and got a job with TD Securities. Working with Robert Mason, head of oil sands investment banking at the Canadian firm, he focused on companies extracting resources from unconventional sources, before moving to the UK in 2010 when the bank established an energy and power team in London. Last year, he moved to RBC, working under Tim Chapman, head of international oil and gas, and has been described by a senior colleague as "a superstar".
Ben Catt Managing director, utilities and infrastructure corporate advisory Evercore Age 32 Catt, who turns 32 today, is the youngest managing director in Evercore's London office. He started his career at Rothschild, spending two years in the mergers and acquisitions team, before moving to Lexicon in 2004, rising to the rank of partner and director at the time of its acquisition by Evercore last year. A utilities and infrastructure specialist, Catt worked on pre-crisis deals to acquire UK-regulated water and sewage businesses Kelda and AWG, and the 2010 acquisition of UK high-speed rail line High Speed 1 by Canada-based pension funds Borealis Infrastructure and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan in a $3.4bn deal.
Glen Cronin Managing director, restructuring Rothschild Age 34 Cronin started his career at Schroders in Paris, later moving to Close Brothers and then Rothschild in 2007, where he was named a managing director this June. He is currently advising the noteholders of Punch Tavern's £2.8bn securitisation, and earlier this year was a senior member of the team that advised junior lenders on the $1bn restructuring of German plastics company Klöckner Pentaplast, a rare example of junior creditors refinancing the senior lenders to secure control. He has also worked on landmark transactions including the restructuring of Findus, and advised mezzanine lenders of Gala Coral on its restructuring. He hopes to find some time over Christmas to read Bradley Wiggins' autobiography.
Omar Davis Head of metals and mining for Emea and emerging markets ex-Asia Bank of America Merrill Lynch Age 34 Davis started running metals and mining for emerging markets ex-Asia last year, taking on the Emea region in January, and now has responsibility for a region that spans from Russia to Latin America, and Africa to western Europe. BofA Merrill Lynch has been making strides in the sector in recent years, working on the flotation of Rusal in 2010 and Glencore in 2011. The bank was sole adviser on Glencore's $1bn acquisition of Optimum Coal, and was named as one of two advisers to Glencore on its $7.6bn acquisition of Viterra. According to Morningstar, BofA Merrill Lynch is also corporate broker to nine FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 metals and mining companies – an increasingly lucrative sector.
Simon Granger Senior managing director FTI Consulting Age 37 Granger left Deloitte in 2007 to launch FTI Consulting's restructuring practice, alongside three former partners from Ernst & Young. A licensed insolvency practitioner, he last year advised the lenders of Irish conglomerate Quinn Group on the complex restructuring of €1.3bn of debt, and worked on the restructuring of Italian telephone directories business Seat Pagine Gialle, which completed in September. He is currently working on the operational restructuring of a renewable energy company in peripheral Europe and is charged with expanding FTI Consulting's corporate finance business into new territories.
Alex Grant Managing director in energy investment banking group Jefferies Age 34 Growing up, Grant aspired to "improve oil recovery rates in fractured carbonates", but he instead became an energy banker. Recruited from ABN Amro in 2005, with previous experience in JP Morgan's energy and power M&A team, Grant last year advised Statoil on the $3.1bn sale of a 40% interest in its Peregrino field to Sinochem, and advised Nuon on the sale of its Dutch upstream business to Tullow for €300m. He is also working on the sale of BP's interests in several of North Sea oil and gas fields to Abu Dhabi energy company Taqa, a deal which could rise to $1.3bn in value. With two children under the age of two, Grant says his free time is "spent sleeping or thinking about sleeping".
Alex Ham Co-head of corporate broking Numis Age 30 "You have no idea how young he is when you speak to him on the phone. He sounds like he is in his 40s," said one rival banker of Ham. Ham joined Numis fresh from university in 2005, where he had been talent-spotted by then chairman of Numis Michael Spencer, who introduced him to Lorna Tilbian, executive director and head of Numis's media research team. Ham has now built experience advising a wide range of clients, including Punch Taverns founder Hugh Osmond's cash shell Horizon, gaming company Betfair, retailers Ocado and Asos, and dating company Cupid.
Jaber George Jabbour Founder Ethos Capital Advisors Age 30
Jabbour, who speaks Arabic, English and French, moved to the UK from Syria in 2004, taking a place at Imperial College, from which he graduated with an MSc in finance with the best overall performance on the course. A stint at Houlihan Lokey followed, where he helped Iraq restructure its debt after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime. He then moved into fixed income at Goldman Sachs, where he generated trade ideas and structured financial products, solutions and derivative strategies for institutional investors. In 2009, he founded Ethos, advising finance ministries, debt management offices and other public entities how to restructure their swaps and derivatives portfolios. The firm is also working with law firm Hausfeld, which is pursuing a class action lawsuit related to the manipulation of Libor, to assist investors in recovering losses related to the case and the misselling of derivatives and structured products.
Nicholas Harper Managing director, UK investment banking Goldman Sachs Age 37 Harper has had a hand in many of the big UK deals of recent years, including advising gaming business Rank Group, retail conglomerate Boparan Holdings, internet betting exchange Betfair, power firm GDF Suez and pharmacy giant Alliance Boots. He joined the US bank in 2000 as an associate from Schroders, became vice-president three years later and made managing director in 2008. Harper's mentors include Goldman Sachs banker Karen Cook, former Goldman rainmaker Simon Dingemans, now chief financial officer at GlaxoSmithKline, and Nick Reid, a senior UK banker who joined UBS in 2006.
Richard Hoyle Managing director Greenhill Age 36 Hoyle moved to Greenhill in 2000, shortly after the firm's London office opened, and has since widened his experience, particularly in the telecoms, media and technology sector. This year he worked on the $4.9bn sale of UK marketing communications group Aegis to Dentsu of Japan, which is due to complete in a few weeks, and last year he worked on the $859m sale of market research company Synovate to Ipsos. Tom Drury, the former chief executive of waste management company Shanks, said Hoyle had "a rare combination of very personable client-centric skills alongside an ability to tell it as it is".
Dominic Lee Managing director, industrials Goldman Sachs Age 38 Just days after Goldman Sachs announced its new batch of partners in November, talk turned to those who would become partner in 2014 – and Lee is a strong candidate. Responsible for Goldman's relationships with UK mid-cap industrial clients, he has been heavily influenced by Goldman Sachs's European president Karen Cook, and has worked alongside other Goldman heavyweights such as Anthony Gutman and Simon Dingemans. Lee joined the US bank from Schroders in 2000, and was promoted to managing director in 2009. He has advised on a number of large transactions, including Cadbury's takeover by Kraft last year. He also worked with BAE on this summer's politically thwarted super-merger with EADS.
Linos Lekkas Head of corporate and investment banking for Central Europe, Greece, Israel and Poland Citigroup Age 38
Lekkas grew up in London and Greece and completed his undergraduate degree in business economics at Queen Mary, University of London before receiving an MPhil in finance from the University of Cambridge. While his peers were applying for jobs in investment banking, he returned to Greece to do military service having secured a deferred place on the graduate scheme at Barclays de Zoete Wedd, joining two months before it was acquired by Credit Suisse First Boston. Lekkas rose through the ranks at Credit Suisse, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Citigroup as a protégé of Christos Megalou, Andrea Orcel and Manolo Falcó. He joined Citigroup in January 2011, originally responsible for corporate and investment banking in Greece and Cyprus, but in April this year he was promoted to head up a London hub for the coverage of central Europe, Poland and Israel. He now manages 80 people. Citi ranks fifth in Dealogic's league table for CEE investment banking revenues for this year, up from 12th last year. Lekkas has a fascination with modern history and politics and enjoys the escapism of the silver screen during his free time. He says he will spend his retirement at his summer house on the Greek island of Tinos.
Christian Lesueur Head of telecoms, media and technology investment banking UBS Age 37 Lesueur became a managing director at the tender age of 32 and was promoted to head of the 20-plus-strong TMT team a year later. This year he worked on private equity firm CVC Capital Partners' sale of a 28% stake in Formula 1 for $2.1bn. The high-profile deal was done in January but the details were kept confidential until April. Lesueur has advised on more than $250bn of M&A and about $30bn of equity issuance in the TMT sector for big-name clients including Vodafone and BSkyB. The son of a zookeeper, Lesueur has had a truly international upbringing – the French-Danish banker grew up in Greece, studied at Yale in the US and has lived in London for 14 years.
Simon Lyons Managing director, M&A UBS Age 34 Lyons joined UBS after graduating, before moving to Tricorn Partners in 2003, where he spent three and a half years. He rejoined UBS in the M&A team in 2007. In 2010, he worked on the sale of a controlling interest in RBS WorldPay, the UK bank's global merchant services business, to a private equity consortium for an enterprise value of £2bn. More recently, he worked on the flotation of insurer Direct Line, which raised $1.5bn in October, and outside the financial institution sector has been advising Barrick Gold over its talks with China Gold.
Charles Noel-Johnson Managing director Moelis & Company Age 36
As a child, Noel-Johnson wanted to fight crime like Batman but, instead of donning a cape in Gotham City, he began his career at JP Morgan's asset management business. He went on to build the corporate restructuring group at Close Brothers over eight years from 2001. He was approached by Ken Moelis in 2009 to set up a restructuring practice, bringing a 10-strong team from Close Brothers with him. Noel-Johnson secured Moelis a mandate to advise the government of Dubai on the Dubai World restructuring and debt crisis, which led to the firm opening a Dubai office with a team of 10. After relocating to London this year, he continues to split his time between the Middle East and the UK. This year he has advised bondholders in the €2.7bn debt restructuring for Italian directories publisher Seat Pagine Gialle. Apart from convincing his wife to marry him, Noel-Johnson says his proudest achievement is building out the Moelis business in a short space of time. He spends his free time scuba diving in the Caribbean and Asia as well as playing football and plans to retire on a farm in the countryside. He is currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird.
Neil Passmore Executive director JP Morgan Age 37 Passmore, an executive director in the bank's UK natural resources investment banking team, joined JP Morgan in 2004. He has worked on deals including the $2.1bn flotation of Vallares, an investment vehicle formed by former BP chief executive Tony Hayward, in June 2011 and a $4.2bn merger with Genel Energy in November 2011, the culmination of four years of travelling to Iraq and Kurdistan. He is part of the team working with Xstrata on its $70bn merger with Glencore, the largest announced metals and mining M&A deal on record. Before his career in banking, Passmore served as an officer in the Army Air Corps and was decorated for gallantry in Iraq in 2003, where he served as a front-line attack helicopter pilot.
David Plowman Co-head of European consumer products investment banking Citigroup Age 38 Plowman was joined at Citigroup this year by his identical twin Robert. The brothers run the consumer products team, although they are rarely in the office at the same time. A noteworthy transaction this year for David Plowman was the Heineken acquisition of Asia Pacific Breweries that was temporarily stalled by Thai billionaire investor Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi. Plowman has also worked on other contested transactions, such as Spanish infrastructure firm Ferrovial's acquisition of airport company BAA and Dubai Ports' takeover of P&O. He started his career at Schroders and is bracing himself for fatherhood this month.
Dan Rosenfield Managing director, UK investment banking Bank of America Merrill Lynch Age 35
Rosenfield swapped the public sector for the private in 2011, having spent the previous three and a half year as principal private secretary to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, working alongside Alistair Darling and later George Osborne during the financial crisis and the fiscal consolidation programme that followed. He joined Bank of America Merrill Lynch last year, spending time in the M&A team and briefing institutional investors on UK and European macro issues, before settling down to life in the UK investment banking team. Now a senior relationship manager to a handful of FTSE 100 corporates, he also works to ensure the bank is plugged in with government, although he says his former colleagues have a "glint in their eye" when they see him now, and wonder what he is going to pitch for. A father of three, he recently hosted his daughter's birthday party for more than 40 children, and cites trips to the opera and cinema with his wife as an important means of "reminding ourselves we're human".
Chris Seherr-Thoss Director in natural resources Lazard Age 36 Seherr-Thoss spent eight years at mining giant Anglo American in a range of roles, which included investor relations and business development, before joining Lazard in 2007 following the completion of an MBA at the London Business School. He now works closely with Spiro Youakim, the well-regarded metals and mining specialist who joined the independent adviser in 2008 from Citigroup. Recent deal experience includes the $2.3bn sale of European Goldfields to Eldorado Gold, which completed earlier this year. He has previously advised TanzaniteOne on its defence against Gemfield Resources, and Vedanta Resources on its acquisition of Anglo American's zinc assets.

The One Thing Missing From Your LinkedIn Profile
With now more than 200 million members, LinkedIn(LNKD) has become a social media powerhouse -- and a vehicle for many job hunters. But merely creating a profile and dumping your resume on the site won't result in offers of employment suddenly flowing in.
Experts say it's important to take at least one more step -- adding a photo. "People think that when they upload their resume, they're done," says Wayne Breitbarth, a social-media trainer and consultant. By adding a head shot, you can "bring a friendly identity" to your page. LinkedIn profiles without photos signal to many recruiters that a candidate isn't as credible as someone who's taken the time to create a fuller profile, he says.
Having a photo can also help you become more visible when recruiters search LinkedIn for possible candidates. Recruiters' eyes routinely skip search results that have no photo. "From that standpoint, you're just not grabbing
Research suggests Breitbarth is right. A study by psychology professor Nicholas Salter of Ramapo College of New Jersey showed that even people who worry that they may be perceived as unattractive benefit from having a photo on LinkedIn. Salter's experiment found that when test subjects were offered identical profiles they preferred those with a photo over those without one.
"People just want to look at you," Salter told The Kansas City Star, adding that his research found that "having no picture was worse than having an unattractive picture."
Beyond a photo, Breitbarth says it's important to create a profile that incorporates LinkedIn's other features, such as endorsements and recommendations. Adding anecdotes about accomplishments or pictures of past projects, for example, can do much in creating more interest in you as a possible candidate.
He adds that whether we like it or not, in this digital age, we're all on display. And with an increasing number of employers seeking out people who aren't looking for jobs, "having a good LinkedIn profile is going to help you find your next great opportunity -- whether you're ready for it or not," Breitbarth says. "That's what's so exciting about it."

Rated 5 out of 5�by Joey Solid feel I've only played 2 rounds with these irons but I've hit some great shots that I could never hit with my old irons.They are definitely longer without even swinging harder. They are also forgiving on mishits. Iam very satisfied with Ping. October 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by rr881963 Great set of clubs I love these clubs. I just got rid of the latest Titleist and bought these. I like these a lot better. The crisp sound, the way there is no effort in hitting the ball at all. Just a solid set of irons that I have not seen in awhile. September 27, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by cjping25 Awesome!!! Best irons ever. I'm a club junky and have owned lots of different irons. These will be staying in the bag. The long irons are as easy to hit as the short irons. These are a must have. July 21, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by David Ping G25 Irons Great clubs for a mid to high handicappers and they are reasonably priced. They go straight and high and have a good feel when you make contact. They are as long as they need to be. I think this will be a set of clubs that I will play for a longtime July 19, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Marvin66 Every review about these clubs is correct I did a lot of research before buying these clubs. I've never owned Ping's before, but wow they have made a difference in my game. I'm not a great golfer by and stretch of the imagination, so I didn't think these clubs would help much. I was wrong; these clubs make your bad shots decent. I was so pleased with the irons that I went back and purchased the fairway woods and wedge also. I did buy the Scottsdale putter also,but I found it to be too short for me. I highly recommend these clubs especially at this price. Good clubs do make a difference. June 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mark116 Great Club for All Abilities I replaced my blades with the G25's and could not be happier. Not your standard looking "players iron" but they deliver across the board. A great club for all levels of players. May 12, 2016

Affordances of External Representations in Instructional Design: The Effect of Narrative and Imagery in Learning.
Date: December 2008
Creator: Wu, Yan
Description: Consisting of both theoretical and empirical inquires, this study examines the primary functions of narrative and the relationship between narrative and mental imagery. The study proposes a new framework to interpret semiotic resources. Combining this with the linguistic functional theory of Halliday (1978), a functional method to empirically investigate semiotic representations was also developed. In the empirical inquiry, the study developed a latent construct method to empirically test the effects of narrative in a real learning situation. This study is the first to investigate the functional relationship between narrative and mental imagery, and among the first to suggest a theory and empirically investigate representations of a multimodal nature. The study is also among the first to use latent constructs to investigate the learning experience in a real educational setting. Data were collected from 190 library professionals who enrolled in three sections (two in narrative and one in plain text) of an online course administered through Vista 4.0 and who completed the course and responded to several instruments. Essay data (n = 82 x 2) were analyzed using content analysis based on the narrative analysis framework developed. Quantitative data analysis methods include univariate data analysis, factor analysis, and structural equation modeling ...

Enhancement of spatial ability in girls in a single-sex environment through spatial experience and the impact on information seeking.
Date: December 2008
Creator: Swarlis, Linda L.
Description: The test scores of spatial ability for women lag behind those of men in many spatial tests. On the Mental Rotations Test (MRT), a significant gender gap has existed for over 20 years and continues to exist. High spatial ability has been linked to efficiencies in typical computing tasks including Web and database searching, text editing, and computer programming. The relationships between the components of visuospatial ability and performance are complex. However, research strongly indicates that a connection exists, and further research is necessary to determine the interactions between the variables of environment, genetics, and spatial training. Spatial experience can enhance spatial skills. However, to what extent spatial skills can be enhanced in female adolescents through a spatial curriculum to reduce the gap in scores has not been fully researched, nor has the impact of spatial skill on information seeking. This research project investigated spatial skill in adolescent females by examining (1) the extent to which the intervention of teaching a spatial curriculum in a single-sex setting could improve mental rotation test scores, and (2) the impact of spatial skills on an information seeking task in a single-sex setting. The extent to which a spatial visualization curriculum can improve MRT ...

Globally Distributed Agile Teams: An Exploratory Study of the Dimensions Contributing to Successful Team Configuration
Date: December 2008
Creator: Sharp, Jason H.
Description: Drawing upon configurational theory, work group design research, virtualness concepts, and the software agility literature, the purpose of this study was to provide a starting point for theorizing about the successful configuration of globally distributed agile teams by exploring the dimensions of team structure, virtualness, and agility. Due to the complex nature of this topic, the need to examine the phenomenon within its natural setting, and the limited amount of research that has been conducted in this particular area, this study adopted an embedded multiple-case research design. The primary data collection method consisted of semi-structured interviews involving members of globally distributed agile teams within three U.S. based organizations with members located in distributed sights in multiple countries. Additional data were collected from archival records. Within-case and cross-analysis was conducted using qualitative data analysis software. This study provides a starting point for answering the question of how the configuration of globally distributed agile teams differs from the configuration of other types of globally distributed teams; it synthesizes past research and findings into a comprehensive theoretical framework; it provides a starting point for theorizing about the successful configuration of globally distributed agile teams; it helps practitioners to identify and address the challenges ...

The representation of national political freedom on web interface design: A comparison of government-based and business-oriented websites.
Date: December 2008
Creator: Li, Rowena Liu-ping
Description: The purpose of this study is to explore the representation of national political freedom on web interface design by using power distance, one of the culture dimensions identified by Geert Hofstede, as a measurement. This study also aims to determine if there are any differences between government-based websites and business-oriented websites in representing national political freedom. A pilot study was conducted to validate ten power distance indicators identified from previous research on cultural dimensions with the intent of establishing a measurement for determining a country's national political freedom on web content and interface design. The result showed that six out of ten proposed indicators are valid power distance indicators. The seventh indicator, symmetric layout, demonstrated that its Web representation correlates with national political freedom level. Consequently, the principal research applied these seven indicators in coding 312 websites selected from 39 countries and analyzed national political freedom represented on these websites with content analysis method. The result of two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that large differences exist in web interface design, which in turn reflects the aforementioned national political freedom. The research showed that the mean effect of freedom level between free-country group, partly-free-country group and not-free-country group was statistically ...

The transformative library: A narrative inquiry into the outcomes of information use.
Date: December 2008
Creator: Kenney, Brian
Description: This qualitative study uses narrative analysis to explore the outcomes of information seeking and use among public library users. Twelve women between the ages of 51 and 72, all residents of Fayetteville, Arkansas who self-identified as regular library users, were interviewed to gather their life stories and their experiences using the public library. The participants in this study used information to enable learning and, often, a change in their affective state. The participants used the new information they encountered constructively, to engage with the knowledge and experience they possessed; this use of information always involved reflection, dialogue, or both. The outcomes from these actions are the creation of new knowledge, a change in the participants' meaning schemes, and/or an affective change. In addition, the narratives strongly suggest that information seeking and use by adults in public libraries can sometimes facilitate or, on its own, precipitate a perspective transformation and the adoption of new meanings. Overall, the findings support Mezirow's theory of transformative learning as a model for understanding information use and outcomes among users of the public library. The major implications of this study are two-fold. One, it introduces to information science Mezirow's theory of transformative learning which could provide ...

Rated 5 out of 5�by Dana Awesome with great support I've been looking for a sports bra with good support with some padding to prevent poke through and I found it with the Vixen. When I work hard or ran, I used to get uncomfortable, jiggle too much and had pain from chafing, but this bra solved that. It is so comfortable I wear it all day. It is just the thing for guys that need some support. I highly recommend it. November 26, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Running Coach Nice bra but runs small This is a well-built bra, as you would expect from Moving Comfort. The styling is cute and the design would be supportive. Sadly for me, 32-34A, the S, which is billed as 32AB-34AB was just a smidge tight on me. Since you cannot get these in our store, I had to special order it, and I doubt the M would be quite right. I will stick with buying Moving Comfort bras that come with actual bra sizes on them, as many do, or I will buy other brands that I can try on in the store. If you are a smaller band A cup though, give it a try. March 30, 2012

Letter To Santa
3 comments:
Sometimes it's the little things, like writing a letter to Santa, that occur in our daily lives that bring hidden emotions to the surface. Not nonsensical at all.ReplyDelete
A nice letter, interesting as much for what is not said as what was. It makes me want to know more, and at the same time wonder if I/we really want to or should know. Stories we remember of of childhood are what makes us what we are, but do we really want to share them?ReplyDelete
i know what you mean and not just writing literally also with my big thoughts in my head something made me think why i came up with this or that but you are the gatherer of stories and link and info so you are the one who can makes feel how much we can relate.ReplyDelete
so glad we all have something unique to offer to each other and in the end find the magic of connection

The initial intake of successful candidates for the 'Advanced Coaching Offer', the ASA's new personalised support package for aspirational coaches, have taken the first steps on the programme to develop and expand their coaching skills.
The 80 places on the programme, offered at absolutely no cost to the coach or club, were heavily oversubscribed with over 200 applications received. Potential candidates were short listed and interviewed for a chance to shape their future in aquatic coaching with a structured process of observation/analyses of coaching sessions, one to one discussions, coaching at regional ASA Beacon centres and attendance at ASA talent camps.
James Stannard, Head Coach at Borough of Stockton Swim Scheme in the North East is excited about joining this elite group of proactive, talented, developing coaches across England.
"I am looking forward to the first meeting of all the coaches in the region where the ASA experts will assess my strengths and identify what areas I need to improve upon. From then on I will be able to access the necessary support to help me become a better coach which will help my squad in turn become better swimmers.
"This initiative is exactly what I need to help both my career progression and my personal development. I plan to pass my expanded knowledge onto my swimmers to increase their medal chances in Nationals, Europeans and beyond."
Blackburn Centurions SC Head Coach and Gallica SC Assistant Coach Rick Hall feels that the opportunity to work with more experienced coaches will be one of the highlights of the scheme.
"I applied to be on this programme because I want to progress in my coaching and make the most of all the opportunities available. This is a brilliant way to network and be mentored by senior coaches – I have been coaching for a couple of years so feel I will particularly benefit from this. I am also very much looking forward to getting involved with the Beacon programme and learning how the talent development team work."
Colin Huffen, ASA National Education Officer and Coaching Systems Team Manager said, "We are delighted to welcome the first intake of coaches onto the Advanced Coaching Offer. It's great that we have so many developing coaches who are eager to commit to this four year programme to expand their skills and push their careers forward."

TRAINING LEVEL: Intermediate
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 14 Maximum: 24
Over 60,000 miles of roads in the United States are occasionally exposed to coastal surge and waves. Due to these unique design conditions, many highways and bridges suffer damage during coastal storms, including hurricanes and El Nino events. The purpose of this course is to teach important concepts and terminology of coastal science and engineering to highway engineers for use in the planning and design of coastal roads. The course is based on the Hydraulic Engineering Circular (HEC) No. 25, "Highways in the Coastal Environment" (2nd Edition), which is also used in the course as a reference manual.
The course includes the use of a portable flume for demonstration of key concepts and for hands-on participant activities. In addition to the presentation of materials and the flume demonstrations, the course incorporates various workshops and exercises to reinforce key concepts. Topics covered in the course include:
1. Introduction to highways in the coastal environment
2. Waves
3. Tide and water levels
4. Revetment design for coastal embankments
5. Wave loads on bridge decks
6. Coastal geology and sediments
7. Shoreline change and stabilization
8. Road overwash
9. Tidal inlets and coastal bridges
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
Participants are adult learners with (1) a general civil engineering education and background who currently work in highway planning and design and (2) coastal engineers with some experience in transportation engineering.

quote neoh4x0rImagine, a book series where each book is a continuation of the previous, or at least, takes place, in the same setting.
Then, if you where Square Enix, you would completely switch to an entirely different book -- and this is what 'Final Fantasy' has become.
To Square Enix: If you want to write a new 'book' don't keep using the same name, call it something else, and definitely don't use 'Final Fantasy' in the name -- unless it is truly worthy.
quote Markimus_123If they want to try new things great -- but if they change things, too, drastically then they shouldn't call it a 'Final Fantasy' game -- maybe it's time for them to look at creating a new franchise.It may be different, but at the end of the day Square Enix are going to be looking to broaden their audience, so they're obviously going to experiment with changes to try and do so ;)

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (435 votes).
In short: Scenic, great support from Marshalls, would do it againDate of review: June 10, 2013
In short: No longer hot and hilly, new course made it cool with PB potential !Date of review: June 9, 2013
In short: A well organised race. Well done to Mark and his team!In full: I liked the new route because it cut out some of the hills. I enjoyed running along carless roads and through the country lanes. Most of the marshalling was really enthusiastic and I liked the frequent drinks stations. I actually enjoyed the day!Date of review: June 9, 2013
In full: This was my first St Albans Half Marathon. Its a new route this year. I didnt like the starting leg from through the park. It was too narrow and bottle necked easily. Please make it wider next year. Also please organise the starting pens. Some very slow runners positioned themselves near the front of the start. This caused a little chaos at the bottle neck. On the plus side this was an otherwise a well put together event. Ok Medal, decent marshalling, good countryside views and an ice lolly at the end.Date of review: June 9, 2013
In short: Brilliant support and marshalling, closed roads throughout and pleasant sceneryIn full: A much bigger race than I expected - c. 3300 entrants - and a little congestion at the start but soon thinned out. Was positively surprised that we ran on closed roads throughout, water stations virtually every mile and a huge number of marshalls, helpers and supporters. Generous goody bag too. Thanks to the organisers. Date of review: June 9, 2013
In short: Very niceIn full: A nice race well organised plenty of water stations the cadets marshalling did a sterling job my only gripes were the no mp3 rule & the militant steward at the end I don't appreciate being spoken to in that manner Date of review: June 9, 2013
In short: Extremely well organised race, with really good atmosphere. Challenging course with plenty ups and downs, but that makes it interesting. Would highly recommend.Date of review: June 9, 2013
In short: A really enjoyable half with enough hills to make it challenging. Well organised tooDate of review: June 9, 2013
In short: Enjoyable for my first time but there is one big killer hill! :DDate of review: January 24, 2013
In short: Fun race, challenging but good atmosphereIn full: Really enjoyed this as this is my local half marathon and had been meaning to enter for years. The route is quite hilly - very few flat stretches except through the residential areas but attractive. It crosses the M25 but this was quite fun as a lot of the cars beeped at us for support! The marshals were supportive and lots of families were out in their front lawns to cheer us on. The water was provided in cups, which might be annoying for some, but I prefer that since I carry my own drink anyway and just want a few sips of water along the way. Nice medal and you get a t-shirt and lolly too. There's a good runner's village with a number of stalls and marquees. The only problems were the tiny number of lavatories and parking. I live in St Albans and thought I was being "clever" by finding alternative areas to park, but these were full too. It took a long time to get out of the city centre (would have been faster for me to walk home!!). Quite a few warnings of doom for about people wearing headphones!! Overall I enjoyed the race and will be back next year - just won't be driving to the event. Date of review: July 21, 2012

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 8 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by NaeS Comfortable warm boots These boots are comfortable and warm. I normally wear a size 8 shoe. I ordered size 7 1/2 and they fit great. They are large around the calf area. This is the reason I rated them 4 stars instead of 5. Otherwise they very nice, confortable, and durable boots! November 10, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jane not true to size Normally I wear 8 1/2, I ordered an 8 and they were not only too large but also too wide in both the foot and the calf. April 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gilby Comfortable boots I wear them at work walking on concrete. They are comfortable, warm and keep your feet dry. Sturdy but flexible. April 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jane1965 Warm & comfortable Warm & comfortable. Good in the snow due to tread. I would recommend these. February 19, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by CC decent boot but upper leg too wide the other mucks i purchased instead are more snug in the leg, less likely to pull off in some true muck! and they are a little higher to hold on better as well. December 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Plantgirt1 excellent boots! I am normally an 8 1/2 so ordered a size 9-too big. I returned and got size 8, perfect. These are excellent boots for hiking the wet muddy woods and wetlands. I also like them during tick/chigger season so I can tuck my pant legs into the boot. Best part is the foot/arch support for long walks. Dicks return policy and free shipping made the purchase easy. October 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DuginBath Just whhat the doctor ordered. I bought these boots for my wife to wear in the yard during our snowy winters and muddy springs. She loves them. Easy on, easy off and most important, they keep her feet warm without sweating. Good buy. Can't wait to get a pair for myself! December 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by motown Great Fit and Comfortable I ordered two sizes since I wear a 7.5. Both the size 7 and 8 fit well. I kept both pairs ~ one pair for my farm and the other pair for my dads farm. The only downside are for me, they are a little tall but certainly not uncomfortable. November 5, 2013

Attend a food festival this summer and celebrate everything from Maine clams to Oregon berries.
Forget bikini season! Summer is the time to enjoy some of the best food this country has to offer. From the Eastern Seaboard to the Golden Coast, from the shores of Maine to the berries of Oregon and the cream puffs in between, we have your essential summer guide to the country�s best bites. New Orleans Food & Wine Experience Where: New Orleans, LA When: May 21- 24, 2014 Why You Want to Go: NOLA is renowned for its food, and this culinary summer celebration is no different. The event boasts more than 100 wineries, restaurants, and caterers on its roster, and attendees will be able to sample everything from gourmet coffee to ice cream to the town�s more signature dishes, like beignets. It�s the perfect way to kick off any food-lover�s summer eating season. First Thing to Eat: Do yourself a favor and sink your teeth into a beignet as soon as you arrive. Taste of Chicago Where: Chicago, IL When: July 9-13, 2014 Why You Want to Go: With big competition on the East and West Coasts, Chicago is too often overlooked for its phenomenal food. Taste of Chicago is undeniably one of the summer�s best food festivals, with over 50 restaurants represented and countless food choices. It also has a great concert series (2o14 headliners include Nickel Creek and Emmylou Harris), making it a summer event with something for everyone. First Thing to Eat: Don�t be shy� grab a Chicago-Style Hot Dog and enjoy! Aspen Food & Wine Classic Where: Aspen, CO When: June 20-22, 2014 Why You Want to Go: Held in picturesque Colorado, the Aspen Food & Wine Classic is a food festival for the foodie who enjoys the finer things in life. Sip and snack on some serious haute cuisine against a stunning mountainscape. Your favorite celebrity chefs will be there (Andrew Zimmern, Giada De Laurentiis and Jose Andres are just three of the fifty-two on the guest list), and you�ll get a chance to sample some of their signature fare. For the athletically minded food fan, there�s also a celebrity chef 5K you can run. First Thing to Eat: Why wait? Give one of the Classic Recipes a try at home today. Seattle Street Food Fest Where: Seattle, WA When: August 8-9, 2014 Why You Want to Go: Food Trucks have proven to the culinary community that they mean serious business, and Seattle�s food truck scene is growing steadily. In early August, Capitol Hill will be overrun with tempting treats during the Street Food Fest. The roster will feature over 65 local food vendors, serving curbside snacks to hungry food fans. First Thing to Eat: The official lineup for the 2014 roster won�t be posted until July 1. In the meantime, the anticipation is eating away at us. Gilroy Garlic Festival Where: Gilroy, CA When: July 25-27, 2014 Why You Want to Go: Garlic is as delicious as it is good for you, and its versatility in the kitchen makes it an ingredient worth celebrating. Gather with fellow garlic lovers and enjoy unique dishes and fiery variations, each an homage to this aromatic titan. Pro tip: make sure to have a breath mint handy, in case you bump into the Miss Gilroy Garlic Queen. First Thing to Eat: Last year�s cook-off winner�Carnival Garlic Fish Sticks�look too crispy and delicious to pass up. National Buffalo Wing Festival [caption id="attachment_330231" align="aligncenter" width="493"] National Buffalo Wing Festival[/caption] Where: Buffalo, NY When: August 30-31, 2014 Why You Want to Go: If any food trend has proven staying power in the mainstream food space, it�s the Buffalo wing. Get saucy with fellow Buffalo wing afficionados in wing-eating competitions, or enter your own chicken wing accoutrements into one of the cooking contests. If inventing your own topping isn�t your calling, don�t worry. The festival website has you covered. First Thing to Eat: When in Buffalo, start with a classic Buffalo wing. Once you�ve satisfied that craving, dig into all the other flavor options you�ll find. Yarmouth Clam Festival Where: Yarmouth, ME When: July 18-20, 2013 Why You Want to Go: If you�re a fan of seafood, this is the food festival for you. The Yarmouth Chamber of Commerce hosts the event, and Yarmouth-based, non-profit groups and organizations manage the booths. On the menu? Freshly-caught clams, lobster and strawberry shortcake for dessert. First Thing to Eat: Clams are a given, but make sure you save room for pie and a Lime Rickey (or two)! Smorgasburg Where: Brooklyn, NY When: Saturdays throughout the summer Why You Want to Go: Brooklyn�s food scene is no longer a well-kept secret. It�s common knowledge that some of the city�s best bites are found in the eastern borough, and on Saturday mornings buzzed-about food vendors can be found down on the East River waterfront in little pop-up tents. You can have anything your hungry heart desires, from egg sandwiches to lobster rolls to artisanal popsicles and back again. And don�t worry� if you fill up on breakfast, you can sunbathe by the river until you�re hungry for lunch. First Things to Eat: Doughtnuts from DOUGH, coffee from Blue Bottle, and a hash brown from Egg. Trust us. Oregon Berry Festival Where: Portland, OR When: July 18-19, 2014 Why You Want to Go: To really enjoy the bright flavors and rich textures of berries, you have to find them during their peak harvest time. The Oregon Berry Festival does just that, celebrating all things bite-sized and bitter-sweet over the course of a weekend in mid-July. The festival hosts a tour of a local berry farm (appointment necessary), giveaways, and educational booths to help build your berry knowledge. First Thing to Eat: Stop by BAKESHOP�s booth to find a sweet snack. Wisconsin State Fair Where: West Allis, WI When: July 31 - August 10, 2014 Why You Want to Go: The Wisconsin State Fair (the only state fair to make this list) is here for good reason. And that reason�is a cream puff. Not just any cream puff, though. This towering pastry of creamy goodness is legendary. In fact, it has it�s own hotline and drive-through service. But it�s certainly not the only food option available to fair-goers. The Sporkies, the fair�s annual food competition, attract brilliant and inventive culinary creations, ready for food-fans to sample. First Thing to Eat: The Original Cream Puff Epcot Food & Wine Festival When: September 19 - November 10, 2014 Where: Orlando, FL Why You Want to Go: When the Epcot Food & Wine Festival is going on, Walt Disney World is most certainly the �happiest place on Earth�. The festival kicks off just as summer winds down, and you can travel all around the world in Epcot�s World Showcase one delicious bite at a time. The culinary celebration has everything from live demonstrations to signature dining experiences. There�s no better way to say farewell to summer. First Thing to Eat: Whichever international specialty you always crave but can never find in your hometown. This article originally appeared as on Relish
