HAVERFORD -- With apologies to Justin Rose, Merion Golf Club's East Course, Hugh Wilson's gem of a course design, was the star of the 2013 U.S. Open that concluded Sunday.
While the leadup to this return to Merion for the first time in 32 years was filled with intrigue as to how the track would hold up to the modern players, their space-shuttle-design drivers and the souped-up golf balls, there was a lot to read and write about the remarkable history of the 111-acre former farm that has always been considered among the top 10 golf courses in America.
And for those of us who have grown to love that golf course, to be hit with wall-to-wall stories in newspapers and magazines and on television made it a time to embrace. Heck, Golf Channel's airing of the original ABC broadcast of the final round and the Lee Trevino-Jack Nicklaus playoff at the 1971 U.S. Open alone was the kind of buried treasure Merion fans can't get enough of.
To hear most of the pros tell it -- and just watching the best players in the world ply their trade is always what makes a U.S. Open so special -- a short Merion layout would be defenseless if rain softened the course in the days leading up to the Open.
Well, if it was rain they wanted, it was rain they got. Sitting in the media center last Monday while wave after wave of drenching rains piled on to the three-and-a-half inches dropped by the remnants of tropical storm Andrea the previous Friday, you couldn't help but wonder how the course would hold up.
Rose's winning score of 1-over 281 is a testament to just how tough the new and improved Merion can be. Having said that, Tiger Woods was right to complain about the sadistic pin placements USGA executive director Mike Davis used throughout the tournament. The USGA had an excuse the first couple of days when more rain came Thursday morning and pins had to go on higher areas of Merion's undulating greens.
Even LaRue Temple, the Merion caddy who did Merion caddies past and present proud with the job he did on the bag of low amateur Michael Kim, noted the "nasty pin placements." He had likely seen all of them at one time or another, but probably not all on the same day.
One area of Merion's defenses the rain probably stiffened was the rough. It lived up to its name -- it was rough. It might have been even rougher than the 1971 Open at Merion.
At the media day in late April, Davis predicted that you would see more shots go out of bounds at this Open than you would at other sites. He wasn't kidding.
Sergio Garcia's golf balls seemed drawn to Golf House Road by some unseen force. He went OB off the tee at 14 and 15 in his first round, then OB on 15 leading to a snowman, and then went OB twice on 15 in a third-round disaster that added up to 10. The guy finished 15-over for the tournament and was 10-over on those two tries at 15 alone.
Jason Dufner arrived at the 15th 5-under for the day in his final round before going OB off the tee. He left the hole 2-under for his round after a triple-bogey seven.
Tiger sailed one OB off the tee on the par-5 second in the final round on his way to a snowman. Steve Stricker, off in the next-to-last group Sunday, hit two shots OB on the second. His eight was hard-earned.
The other concern going into this U.S. Open was the logistics of staging a huge event like this -- and make no mistake about it, this is a big event -- in such a cramped area.
And even the naysayers would have to admit that tournament officials, club members, the police and all the other security people involved and the small army of volunteers pulled it off. And none of it could have happened without the cooperation of Haverford College.
Popular ESPN.com curmudgeon Rick Reilly grumbled about the media being forced to interview players a half-mile (gasp) away from the media center. Many in the media seemed obsessed with the fact that the locker room for the players was at West Course where the driving range was. Of course, the days when golf writers got their best stuff by hanging out in the locker room with the players are long, long gone.
It wasn't easy for the gallery to move around the golf course. The double-crosses in front of the second and fifth tees and the third and sixth tees were particular choke points.
But there were some improvements from the 1971 and '81 Opens. The big grandstand at 17 turned an area that was tough to get to in previous Opens into a mini-stadium. And that tough par-3 proved to be a worthy stage. The image of the grandstand erupting when Phil Mickelson birdied the hole late Saturday will be standard fare in remembrances of this Open. Not to mention the roar touched off by young pro Shawn Stefani's ace there in the final round.
The par-3 ninth hole always had two teeing areas, but the one to the right of the eighth green was abandoned in favor of a grandstand. And the area along the fence on seven and eight was opened up to spectators and proved to be a popular spot to watch players attack those two little par-4s.
Was it perfect? No. When you try to pull off something like this, do things go wrong? Always.
Let's leave it to Mickelson to summarize the week. Remember he said all of this probably 20 minutes after finishing as a U.S. Open runner-up for a sixth time.
"The people here have been fabulous," Mickelson said. "To look at the members and what they've done and the homeowners, what they've sacrificed to allow this tournament to come back is pretty cool. The way the community has wanted this and supports this tournament, more so than just about any place we've ever been.
"We've played U.S. Opens at great golf courses where the membership voted not to have us back. Here they want us back, they're opening their homes to the USGA for infrastructure. Coming out when they can't really see too much, coming out to be a part of the tournament. It's great the way the city of Philadelphia has supported this tournament. I hope we have a chance to come back."

When we think of young adult books we have the impression that it caters only to teenagers—those who are carefree, fun-loving and happy-go-lucky. True enough, the target audience of this type of literature are people who are still looking for their true self, their niche in society, and their definition of life. Yes, the youth of today are more profound than you thought. They have depth, but still able to maintain a playful nonchalance which is the envy of all adults. We've all been to that crossroad where we get torn between deciding for ourselves and at the same time, needing the advice of our parents. The first step to discovering yourself, it seems, is going away to boarding school. This is the central theme of John Green's
Looking for Alaska .
The story is centered on Miles Halter, who left for boarding school after an uneventful high school spent in Florida. Miles is not your typical teen; he does not spend all night playing online games over at
FoxyBingo, nor logged on to
Tumblr for hours on end. In fact, he's into literature, and obsessed with dead people's last words. At Culver Creek Prep he made new friends—interesting people in their own right. His roommate (nicknamed "The Colonel"), introduced him to Alaska Young, and they became his regular gang. They ingeniously pull pranks that will have you doubling up with laughter and amazement. At a young age they'll teach you the meaning of loyalty, compassion, death, grief, and yes, love. Because let's face it, we do need the reminder.
What makes the novel an interesting read is its take on drunk driving, and its adverse effects on someone's life. It also extensively discussed how to deal with an untimely death, and showed ways of how to cope and recover. As all of us, one way or another, have to go through both life and death, we can pick up a thing or two from this masterpiece.
The author John Green was awarded the Michael L. Printz Award for this novel, and the book is now part of the high school and college curricula of many schools.

Hey guys, i was offered a free trip to Fort Myers Florida today, all expenses paid, for a week in January. I'll probably end up going just because its free, but does anybody know if it would be worth bringing a fish or something down? Is there actually surf in this area? I could also drive to the east coast... but i think its like 2.5-3 hours to the nearest EC surf spot. Any info/advice would be much appreciated!!!

Fort Myers
Fort Myers is on the gulf coast (or close I forget exactly) but there is generally no surf. Unless theres a storm rolling through. Chances are it'll be flat. But I don't live there, just every time I've been there its flat.
you should post in the Florida Gulf Coast Forum. But, Fort Myers doesn't get much surf, but you could drive up to the Bradenton area to the north. Winter time is the most consistent on the west side of florida from the back side of the cold fronts.

yeah i posted on their forum too, but prob. wont get many responses there, maybe ill just bring a pair of swim fins in case i run into a body-surfable wave.
We have friends in the Naples/Bonita Springs/Estero area which is just south of Fort Meyers... We have been down there a bunch of times throughout the year, and every time it has been a lake or pretty close but I have seen pics of surf there during 'cane season. The potential is there but I haven't been lucky enough to catch any though. But I have been lucky enough to catch lots of fish, which is luck that I don't have in Jersey...
The Fort Meyers through Naples/Marco region in January can be a good time.
Enjoy...lots of 'plastic' there to please the eye....all varieties and ages....

I live on the central east coast of Fl I drove over to that area ( actaully closer up towards Tampa) on the first weekend in Septemeber and here is what is looked like
but other than huricanes and strong fronts it rarley gets anything; so I'd say it is probably not worth it unless your thinking of making the drive over the alley, but even if you do that you'll have up towards sebastian to get anything decent and that's 2+ hours in the car ( if you do that don't take 95 through palm beach it is messy construction so it's well worth it to pay the tolls to take the sawgrass upto the tpike to avoid it)

Like you said, fins are a decent choice and still fun if there are waves... but if not, they're easy... and a lot less expensive to fly with... especially if you don't get surf.
You have two chances of getting waves in Fort Myers - slim & none.

Cranston enlists help of scientists and experts to enter the world of squid and octopus, where cannibalism is practiced daily, mating can involve amputation, trickery is everywhere, and size means everything and nothing.

At the hospital Patrick and Robin are discussing a patient. It seems life has returned to normal for them, but their happy moment is interrupted when Patrick gets a message from Lisa's doctor at Shadybrook. Lisa would like to see him. Robin and Patrick talk it over and decide that Patrick should do it. Later Patrick arrives to Lisa where she looks him in the eye and announces that she knows his marriage to Robin will never work. Once a cheater is always a cheater. Lisa wants Patrick to remember her when he realizes he won't be happy with Robin. Patrick angrily tells Lisa that she is crazy and leaves, but you can tell he's shaken. Later he returns to Robin bearing a huge bouquet of flowers. Hmm, guilty much? At the police station Jason busts Anthony; he set Michael and Johnny up, didn't he? He arranged for this hit woman to get caught so that Johnny will look like a hero to Michael and Michael will feel indebted to him. Anthony feigns ignorance and offers both Jason and Michael a job. Naturally Jason declines and goes to talk to Sonny. At Johnny's penthouse Michael offers to repay Johnny back. He'll take care of whatever Johnny wants. Johnny eyes Michael; is he asking for a job? Michael nods. He would like to work for Johnny as long as he doesn't have to go against Sonny or Jason. Johnny thinks Michael working for him would broker peace between the two families, but he will only agree to hire Michael if Michael is 100 percent sure he wants to do this. Later Michael heads to Abby's place where Abby tells him about Anthony's job offer and shares her fear that Michael will outgrow her. Michael assures her that will never happen and they make love. Sonny and Brenda are walking along the docks, enjoying some alone time when they bump into Kristina wearing some of Maxie's clothes. This time it's sparkly hoop earrings and a tight blue dress. Sonny flips out when he sees Kristina's new look. Kristina immediately gets into a fight with Sonny, which prompts Brenda to intervene. Brenda convinces Sonny to go cool off as she tries to get Kristina to see that hitting Sonny's buttons is not the best way to have a relationship with her dad. Like Sonny, Kristina is stubborn and refuses to see any other perspective but her own. Jason arrives at Sonny's house where Sonny vents to him about Brenda's interference with his kids. Apparently Sonny only likes Brenda to interact with his kids when she agrees with him. When Brenda returns home, Sonny makes it clear that he wants Brenda to have a loving relationship with his children, but she cannot tell him how to parent them. Furious and hurt Brenda accuses Sonny of shutting her out of the most important part of his life. Doesn't he understand that if he does this, they don't have a solid marriage? Jason goes to Abby's place where he tells Michael that he was played by Anthony. Michael refuses to believe he has been duped and angrily refuses to stay away from the Zacharra's when Jason asks him. The hit woman arrives at Johnny's penthouse where she thanks Anthony for getting her out of jail. Now where is her extra million? Anthony assures her that she will get it as he swiftly grabs his gun -- with a silencer -- and kills her as Johnny returns home. As Johnny demands to know what is going on, Anthony casually tells Johnny not to worry. All is going according to plan! Dante arrives at the Haunted Star where he finds Lulu pouring over the books and excited at the prospect of working with her dad. She reveals that she has always been envious of the bond Lucky and Ethan share with her dad. Now it's her turn to get mixed up in the whacky hijinks of the casino world! Troubled Dante tries to get Lulu to consider the possibility that rehab might not work for Luke, but Lulu doesn't want to hear it. In fact she is going to visit Luke today! However when she arrives at Shadybrook, she is confused to find Luke's room empty. A counselor finds her and says that Luke checked out the same night he checked in.

Scott Jagow: And American companies are lining up to get a piece of bailout. American Express says it will actually become a bank so it can qualify for money from the rescue package. The government made this happen in double-time. Marketplace's Jeremy Hobson has more on that from New York.
Jeremy Hobson: American Express is being granted its request to become a bank holding company. That means AmEx will be able to accept consumer deposits. And more importantly, it means it'll be able to collect money from the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, also known as TARP.
Gary Shilling runs an economic consulting firm. He says the move isn't about shoring up long-term solvency for AmEx at all. It's just about getting government assistance now. And he says other credit card companies are likely to follow suit.
Gary Shilling: This becomes a competitive race to the bottom, and yeah, I would think you'd probably find all those that are not already banks one way or the other would want to join the parade.
If this is a parade, consumers are both the sponsors and the grand marshall. AmEx is in trouble in part because consumers are defaulting on their credit card debt at almost twice the rate they were last year.
In New York, I'm Jeremy Hobson for Marketplace.

Will my passion for ultimate frisbee look good on my CV?
I'm in my second year and my free time at university so far has been spent socialising and playing ultimate frisbee. Will that sound OK on application forms or should I start doing something more impressive?
Just about everyone at university spends a lot of time socialising, so that's not going to make your application stand out. However, organising social events is always worth a mention. Ultimate frisbee is good, with all its connotations of being a team player. It will sound even better if you do more than just turn up. Recruiting new players, fundraising and arranging matches would add an extra dimension.
Prospective employers are always impressed by those who help make things happen. What you do with your spare time is more revealing than you might think; it provides a telling insight into whether you are competitive, motivated, creative, achievement-oriented or a loner. Recruiters look favourably on those who appear to have packed a lot in and still managed to do well academically. It conveys high levels of energy and good time management. If you feel your list of interests is a bit sparse, take another look at what's on offer around you. It's never going to be easier to pick up new things to do. Don't choose activities just because you think they will sound impressive; go for things you'll enjoy and then work out how to make them sound good in the context of whatever job you're going for.
Stressful interview has reduced my confidence to tatters
I had a really difficult interview at the end of last year and since then I don't seem able to get my confidence back. In another interview last week, my mind went so blank I had difficulty remembering details of my course.
Interviews are nerve-inducing for most people; it's not surprising that a bad one should throw you. You now know how difficult it can be and there's a lurking fear the same thing will happen again. But chances are it never will and that this was a one-off.
To move on, you first need to establish what went wrong. If you had your time again, what would you do differently? It generally takes two to make a really bad interview - you and the person conducting it. You can't do much about the skills of those who interview you, but you can work out strategies for coping with poor or aggressive interviewers.
Improving your own performance is not very difficult - mostly it comes down to better preparation. Rehearsing what to say is simple but effective. There are certain questions you know will be asked around your course, work experience and leisure interests; practise talking about these. Your careers centre will have books on interview technique, so read one carefully. A lot of it will be stuff you already know, but it can help to revisit that and think about what the author is suggesting in relation to the experiences you have had.
Don't worry about being nervous. Skilled interviewers understand that applicants feel this way and see it as their responsibility to put you at ease and discover the potential behind the panic. If you do find yourself seizing up, there's no harm in saying something like: "My mind's gone blank - can we come back to that question later?"
Go into your next interview believing they want to help you out rather than catch you out. Remember, these people don't know anything about the bad interview you had - they haven't seen you mess up. They've read your application and liked it enough to want to meet you. You can safely reinvent yourself to match their expectations.

AFTER Kellen Clemens, no-huddle wizard, had taken the Jets 69 yards in nine plays in 2:28 in the driving rain to cut the Cleveland lead to 17-12, and after Brad Kassell had made a remarkable dive to recover an onside kick, it came down to Eric Mangini deciding to put his faith in another onside kick instead of his kid quarterback.
Of course, after sending in Mike Nugent, on fourth-and-10 at the Cleveland 20, to successfully cut the lead to two, a third option would have been to send the kickoff deep and rely on the Jets, who had three timeouts remaining, to get another stop.
Mangini went instead for the onside kick, which was grabbed by the Browns' Joe Jurevicius three plays before four Jets grabbed weakly at Jamal Lewis. The Browns back broke a 31-yard touchdown run that effectively put the game away, one more Nugent field goal and onside kick attempt notwithstanding.
Off a short field, instead of a long field, the Browns escaped, 24-18, because the Jets couldn't tackle when it counted. Also because as much space as was left for second guessing, Browns linebacker Leon Williams gave Chris Baker nowhere near that room on the failed two-point conversion that would have made it 17-14 and conceivably given Nugent a chance to tie the game.
Of all of Mangini's and Brian Schottenheimer's calls, that was the one with which we had the problem: That fade to Baker that the Browns and a lot more persons than the drenched remaining 3,000 – destined to eventually be 300,000 if the Jets had pulled off a miracle – knew was coming.
"It was a matchup we liked," said Clemens – no kidding because the Jets use it to death. "The ball could have been placed better."
For most of three hours, Clemens could have placed more balls better. He went behind, high, low, and away against the NFL's worst statistical defense, having as bleak a December day as ever suffered by a next Jets starting quarterback at the end of a lost season. Then the Jets went to the no-huddle and Clemens became Jim Kelly again, like against Baltimore, Washington, and Pittsburgh.
Of course, the Browns, who had sacked Clemens four times, were playing soft, largely in situations when the Jets needed two scores. But Clemens' accuracy improved startlingly, raising the question: Why aren't the Jets in any hurry to more often use the hurry?
"We do mix some of that in the course of the game," said Mangini. "It's always a consideration, but there are other things we like and think can be successful."
They need to think more about using things that are working, particularly for a quarterback with six games experience.
Of course Clemens, being a team guy and not wanting to be called out in a meeting by Mangini, wouldn't publicly volunteer to operate more often out of the no-huddle.
"That's up to the coaches," he said. "We just try to execute best we can."
But despite respectable final numbers (24-for-41, 286 yards) that execution yesterday was weak, particularly during third downs (the Jets were two-for-12) and on two interceptions. One came on a fourth-quarter underthrow of Wallace Wright along the sideline, the other a result of tying to squeeze one low and away to Jerricho Cotchery into end-zone coverage, ruining a golden second-quarter opportunity set up by a Kerry Rhodes interception.
"I tried to put it low where only (Cotchery) could get it," said Clemens. "I didn't see the safety, a costly error on my part."
The rest of this season is devoted to inevitable errors on Clemens' part, otherwise Chad Pennington would be the quarterback and the Jets still would be trying to get to the playoffs.
Four years into the Giants' Eli Manning, there remains great debate about his eventual accuracy, so six games is not much of sample. Clemens' strength is obvious, though, so wouldn't it help him if were used more often?

A Highland Park High School senior and baseball player is facing sexual assault charges after an acquaintance accused him of raping her after a concert Saturday.
Ryan Romo, 18, was arrested by University Park police Monday after investigators recorded two conversations between Romo and the girl about the incident, which occurred in the back of Romo's Chevy Tahoe, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
In the first conversation, Romo offered to get her the morning-after pill, which can prevent pregnancy, and he suggested they "hang out" together again, the affidavit says.
In the second conversation cited in the affidavit, she said, "I just wish it didn't happen like that, you know like." He replied, "Yeah." She continued, "Like I wish, cause, I said stop … I said no. … I wish you'd stopped you know or not done it." Romo then replied, "OK, you're making me feel bad, wow."
Romo was charged with sexual assault of a child, a second-degree felony. Police declined to release the girl's age.
Romo's attorney, Reed Prospere, declined to comment.
According to the arrest warrant affidavit, the girl told police that she ran into Romo at a concert at the Palladium Ballroom on Saturday night and took a cab with him to his Chevy Tahoe. She told police they drove to his house and parked on the street.
She said they began to kiss and make out in the back seat. She said that when he tried to have intercourse, she told him, "No, I don't wanna do this," and screamed "stop" because she was in pain, but Romo did not listen.
After Romo dropped her off at home, the girl's mother noticed that she was upset and asked her what had happened. Her mother took her to Baylor Medical Center at Plano for a rape exam that showed the girl had a tear and abrasions, according to the affidavit.
A gynecologist did a follow-up exam the next day and told police the laceration and abrasions appeared to have been caused by force, according to the affidavit.
On Sunday night, University Park police recorded a phone call between the girl and Romo. In the phone call, Romo acknowledged that he had sex with her and told her, "I had fun. We should definitely hang out again," according to the affidavit.
The next day, the police recorded the second conversation while the two were sitting in the girl's car.
Romo was released from the Dallas County Jail on Tuesday on $100,000 bond. He was ordered to have no contact with the girl or her family or go any place that they frequent, according to court records.
Romo plays for the Highland Park High School baseball team and led the team in RBIs last season.
A call to his father, Adam Romo Jr., chief executive officer of Eatzi's Market & Bakery, was not returned Wednesday.
Highland Park ISD spokeswoman Helen Williams said in a statement that the district does not discuss student discipline matters and cited federal privacy laws.
"When a situation involving an HPISD student is serious enough to necessitate the involvement of police officials, we cooperate fully," the statement says. "At the same time, we remain committed to respecting the ethical and legal guidelines and laws that protect our students' right to privacy."

They are joined at the pelvis and each one controls one side of their body, which means they have to do things together. Brittany is on the left, and Abigail is on the right. They have two spines that join at the pelvis.[1] They have two stomachs and four lungs, and at birth they had a third arm in between their heads. The third arm was not properly developed, so it was removed.
They currently star in their own reality series on TLC.[2]

Three alternatives described in Forest Service draft EIS
By Jenney Coberly
BRECKENRIDGE —The Peak 6 expansion proposal is not a done deal, Forest Service officials said this week as they briefed the Breckenridge Town Council on the latest steps in the review process.
"Contrary to what was printed in the Denver Post, no decision has been made yet … we're still in the planning process. We're looking forward to all of your comments," said Roger Poirier, the U.S. Forest Service project leader for the Peak 6 proposal.
He was referring to the June 11 Denver Post article with the rather misleading title "Breckenridge Ski Resort gets OK for Peak 6 expansion".
Poirier went on to provide a brief description of each of the three alternatives in the draft Environmental Impact Statement, or DEIS. The document is available online for public review and comment at the Breckenridge Ski Resort Peak 6 Project Environmental Review Process website.
Alternative 2, the preferred alternative, has been outlined numerous times. Alternative 3 scales back the development footprint a bit more to address resource concerns.
Ultimately, the White River Forest supervisor could even choose a final plan that's a blend of the alternatives presented in the draft study.
Poirer outlined some of the options the Forest Service is considering:
"Alternative 3 was developed in response to a number of issues … mostly a lot of environmental concerns — some soil concerns, watershed concerns, wildlife concerns, as well as scenic and visuals," Poirier said.
"What we were trying to do was meet the purpose and need, but do it within the current operational boundary. We found 12 runs that we can create … we're also doing some widening … and looking at developing some terrain just north of Peak 7 that'll be gladed, to provide more intermediate terrain, and more hike-to terrain as well," he said. There's also going to be a new 4-person lift to access this terrain. As part of Alternative 3, we're also looking at doing some lift upgrades. A chair and C chair are going to 4-person lifts, and Colorado Superchair will be upgraded to a 6-person."
Listen to an audio transcript of his remarks to the Breckenridge Town Council by clicking on the audio player below:
Citizens are encouraged to attend one of the open houses being conducted by the Forest Service, where Fitzwilliams discuss the DEIS in more detail and be available for questions. Other Forest Service personnel will also be present for one-on-one discussions, and there will be plenty of maps for people to look at.

If you're a fan of Kahlua and its "Delicioso" ad campaign you might want to pay attention. The brand has released findings from a study saying 76% of people polled said the home is a better place for real conversation over a restaurant or bar, and they are encouraging people to spend a "Delicioso Night In" once a month. They offer entertaining suggestions and recipes, etc. - read the press release at CocktailGoGo.
At the same time they're encouraging you to stay home, however, they're also offering you a chance to go to Mexico - specifically Veracruz. You know from the ad campaign that it is a very intriguing place, so why wouldn't you want to head down there with three of your friends?
Kahlúa has partnered with Celebrity Chef Aarón Sánchez, and Chef Aarón will prepare the ultimate Delicioso Night In for one lucky winner and three other people of his/her choosing in New York before they are all whisked away to Veracruz, Mexico, the home of Kahlúa. Americans can join the movement and enter to win on

Calling all arty absinthe lovers for a contest that should be right up your alley. Pernod is currently running a "Creator of" art contest with all kinds of great prizes, including a grand prize of $1,805 (1805 was when Pernod was first made) and some cool promotional opportunities. What exactly do you have to do? As it says in the image above, use the number 1805 in an original work of art (the categories include painting, illustration, photography, video, and digital/animation), which you submit to Pernod.
Seems simple enough to us. The only catch? You only have about a week to do it - submissions close on January 31. So crank down some absinthe and let out your inner van Gogh, or whatever other crazy artist suits your fancy. So get crackin' and submit your piece to Pernod - and don't forget the little guys (ahem) when you're big on the art scene. Details and enter at Pernod's Facebook page.
OK, so we realize this is a liquor blog, and for the most part we tend to stay on topic. However, the holiday season is a season of giving, if you're into that kind of thing, and we wanted to ask you to help out some of our closest friends, simply by casting a vote. Let us repeat - you don't have to pull out the wallet, you don't have to donate a can of food, you don't have to shovel your old neighbor's walkway. In order to reap the karmic benefits, you just have to log into Facebook and vote.
For what, you ask? Our friend and drinking buddy Megan is the managing director of the Sideshow Theater Company in Chicago, and they are working to get a grant from Chase Community Giving through Facebook. The grant, for $25,000, will cover a good chunk of their operating budget for next year.
To help, all you have to do is:
1. Log into your Facebook account
2. Log into the Chase Community Giving Grant
3. Become a Fan of Chase
4. Vote for Sideshow!
After you've voted for Sideshow you'll still have 19 votes left to give to any charitable or other nonprofit organization you like. Think about it - a quick and easy way to ding up some positivity in your otherwise Scrooge-like existence, and make a difference for some starving artists. It's a win/win/win. Hell, while you're at it, why not fan up the Liquor Snob Facebook page too?
And with that, we return you to our regularly scheduled drinking.
Our more perceptive readers have probably gleaned by now that we're fans of Red Stag from Jim Beam. If you've been following the brand at all, you also probably know Red Stag is sponsoring Kid Rock for his latest tour. What you may not know is that there's currently a sweepstakes running where you can win a weekend in Vegas with the aforementioned Mr. Rock, or some other pretty sweet prizes.
We don't often cover sweepstakes (or "sweeps" as the kids may or may not call them) but this one tickled our fancy. A weekend in Vegas with Kid Rock? Sounds like the premise for The Hangover 2. Or maybe Joe Dirt 2. Either way...awesome. Here's the pitch:
Enter now for your chance to win a trip of a life time for you and three friends to Las Vegas to attend a private Kid Rock concert - plus other amazing prizes including signed display guitars, T-shirts and downloads.
We just got wind of an interesting contest from Three Olives Vodka, the makers of all kinds of vodkas, flavored and non. All you have to do is show them the O-face you get from drinking their product (check out the original O-face moment if you need inspiration), and you have a chance to win a pretty cool prize. What's the prize, you ask?
How does $10,000 and a VIP trip to NYC to be the national face of their O-face campaign grab you? Yeah, we thought so. You can enter at their O-face contest page and see other entries as well. If you need more details, you methodical mofos, check out the full press release after the jump.
Three Olives O-Face Contest
We first learned about Dirty Sue a while back, and we were pretty impressed with the concept of an olive brine designed solely for mixing drinks. For one thing, we're keen on the idea of using something the bartender's fingers haven't been in to fish out olives. For two things...well, the first thing is probably enough - we're fans of the fact our martinis can be filthy without containing any actual filth.
We were reintroduced to the concept of the stuff by a post by Jeffrey Morgenthaler about a contest he's judging for Dirty Sue, where you just have to submit a cocktail recipe featuring at least 1/4 ounce of the stuff. All entries have to be in by March 22, so you'd better get cracking, because the prizes are pretty damn cool. More info at the link above.

Remember those old "What Would You Do For a Klondike Bar" commercials? We just found out about a contest in the same vein that's about a hundred times cooler. Kegerators.com is holding a contest starting August 1st where all you have to do is submit a video about what you would do for a free kegerator, and you're eligible to win one. We're pretty sure we'd punch a nun, but we probably won't commit that to video.
1. Make a funny, shocking, cool, stupid or impressive video showing us "What you would do for a free kegerator".
2. Submit your video to YouTube or Google Video.
3. Fill out the form below and you could win a free kegerator.*
Good Luck and go crazy!!
Deadline to submit a video: August 31th

We were recently notified about a cool contest the Hpnotiq folks are running, where you can win up to $100,000 for just buying a bottle of the stuff. Seems like a no-brainer to us. And if you win, you'd better share with us, because we're pretty sure our posting of this story makes us ineligible. The things we do for you...

We've been waiting like kids on Christmas morning for the second installment of AOL's "America's Hottest Bartenders" contest, and it's finally here. Choose among bartenders from your town or in others, and the main prerequisite is they be hot. We can get behind that.
We chose Tara for the pic because among all the Boston bartenders shown, she seemed to be the only one actually holding booze instead of just presenting from the rear. Go Tara.

We just got a press release about an Urban Lifestyle Specialist contest from Smirnoff, and to be honest, before reading it we wouldn't have been able to tell you what an Urban Lifestyle Specialist is. We probably would've said they're the folks who teach 50 Cent to shoot people, or consult with Puffy/Puff Daddy/P Diddy on his monthly name change.
Now that we've read the release, apparently the ULS contest has something to do with sending 10 people all over the world for a year to "retrace the worldwide journey of the Smirnoff brand." It's got all kinds of buzzwords about how those ULSs will use blog and video and photograph and fingerpaint about their journey. We have to admit, it got us excited about the contest and what being a ULS might be.
We're fully ready to sign up and we really think we're perfect for the Smirnoff Ten; find out more in the press release below or head to Smirnoff.com to throw your hat in the ring.
Last week, we told you about The Winerack, the bosom-friendly alcohol-smuggling device for the ladies, from the makers of The Beerbelly. We'd heard rumors of it, but we got confirmation through Thrillist that it was ready to go into production and it is truly the real deal.
Apparently, those lucky bastards over at Thrillist are getting their hands on a Winerack of their very own, and they're searching for women to be the very first model. The candidates have already been chosen, but you can check out the ladies in the running and cast your vote on who you see most deserving of this grand honor. We're not going to tell you who to vote for, but we think you can piece together who our favorite is by looking really hard at this story.
Vote early, and vote often, and soon you'll be able to see the most popular model sporting the Winerack. (Actually, you can't vote often - it's only once per IP address, but you know what we mean).
St. Patrick's day is on the horizon, friends, and you know what they say - everybody's Irish on that day. Kevin over at The Scotch Blog has gone Irish for the entire month of March, and he's holding a competition where you can send in your favorite Irish toast in honor of the holiday.
Sounds like it can be an old chestnut, or something you've minted yourself, but make sure to get it to him by noon on Friday (details below). Just remember, the Irish are known for their wit, their wisdom, their blarney, and well...their drinking.
Oh, and Kevin did you say something about a prize?
And Yes...there will be a special prize (courtesy of Old Bushmill's distillery) for the best submission.
Get yours in as soon as possible, but no later than Friday at Noon EST (GMT - 5)
Winner to be announced Friday at 6 pm EST (GMT - 5) (just in time for St. Patrick's Day).
Submit via comments and/or email.

Last week we reviewed Roll'em Show'em, a drinking game designed to get you messed up and nekkid. We think it's a damn good idea for a game and more people should play it. We just so happen to have gotten our hands on an extra copy of the game (completely sealed and unopened; a $39.95 value), as well as a Roll'em Show'em t-shirt (priceless). We were going to be greedy and give it to our parents as their anniversary gift, but then we had a brainstorm - let's give 'em away to our loyal readers!
All you have to do is come up with a list of the people you'd want to play the game with - living, dead, real or fictional - and email us at news at liquorsnob dot com. First prize is the game itself, runner up gets the shirt - you have two weeks from today to enter. Our personal list is Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johansson, Tyra Banks, and Carlos Mencia the Swedish drinking team from Beerfest. What's yours?
We've heard of people designing their own cocktail recipes before, but this is a new one - Bombay Sapphire Gin is running a contest where you can design your own cocktail glass. Pretty cool, and we're pretty fired up about this kind of thing after we covered Bong Vodka's bottle art contest earlier this year.
The Top 10 finalists seem to have already been chosen for 2006, but you're just in time to start honing your glass-blowing skills for 2007. Plus, don't worry if you don't have much experience. Just look what you have to live up to - the 2005 winner (pictured) looks more like a protective cup than a cocktail glass so apparently all you need is a love of gin (and maybe a fifth inside you). Oh, and there are some pretty cool prizes you can win, including Apple gift certificates, which you'll see in the press release after the jump.

Please Donate to the Student Victim Fund
Teachers are assaulting students at record numbers. Many of these convicted teachers are either sentenced to No Jail time or very little jail time. Even Teachers merely accused of sexual assault are retaining their positions.
Mission of the Student Victim Fund
Unfortunately, there is no legal requirement for schools or courts to help the students that were victimized. Oftentimes, students who were traumatized or victimized must hire expensive attorneys or either just settle for being a victim.
The mission of this fund is to raise funds for victims, raise awareness of this crisis, and reward students, and parents, and others, who help expose teacher predators. Students and parents should be empowered to Take Back the Classroom!

A walk can be made much more fun by writing a list of items to spot on the way. If you know where you're going to walk you can easily come up with a list, it can include anything from a postbox, to a man with a hat on in the town, to a sheep and an oak tree in the countryside. It's free and it's easy but kids love it.ReplyDelete

We spend the day in the park. I make sure to bring plenty of snacksReplyDelete
eg crisps, nuts raisins, dried fruit, etc. are great and I pack plenty
of things to entertain, such as a few books, toys, a portable DVD player
(be sure to bring extra batteries). I always bring a small pillow and
blanket from home.
My children like to bring along their own colouring books, a Doodle
Pad, their Leap Pads (with a few booklets), and scrap paper that they
can make their own drawings with and play games such as tic-tac-toe. My
daughter used to like to bring along a doodle bear when she was younger
so that she could draw on that as well, and my son likes to bring along
some action figures to play with. I found that buying a Rose Art kit is
great! It has crayons, markers, colouring books, colouring sheets, and
stickers that they can colour. It definitely keeps them entertained.
We like to do 'treasure hunts' where the kids have to find items of nature, a pebble, a flower, a worm etc etc. Provides hours of entertainment.ReplyDelete
Always take a picnic with you when you go out for the day, much cheaper than buying expensive lunches and treats while you are outReplyDelete

Nov 8, 2011The patient building of characters drew me in to such an extent I was worried for Henry's daughter even as she had grown into a strong successful woman. I shared the book with my mother & she became so enraged with Henry Davidson that I had to remind her that he was a fictional character. John is also meticulous in giving the reader a geographical feel for the setting. In short – he pulls you in. Janna Hill
Oct 12, 2010Shadows of Substance is a most absorbing and wonderful novel. John Flanagan deftly weaves good and evil into his strong characters as well as his accurate historical perspective. I can't say enough praise for this powerful story replete with mysteries of human nature, and it certainly has left a mark on my heart. Christine Tsen
Feb 13, 2010"Shadows of Substance" is a marvelously written novel. Author John Flanagan's knowledge of the locales and character types adds a unique richness that would otherwise not be possible. From the daily chores,customs and goings on of the Irish farming family McDermott and the village folk to the lifestyle and mystery of the wealthy English family Davidson, the author expertly captures and reveals it all. Characters move into and out of the story seamlessly. John has woven the dialog expertly into the fabric of the novel. A masterfully created and written novel that will hold your attention throughout. Jon Michael Willey
Aug 8, 2009"Shadows of substance" Started reading a part of this book a few years back, didnt and couldn't get the last part of the book ,so I am delighted to be able to continue to follow this well written realistic story of an intriguing family.
May 30, 2009"Shadows of Substance" Another very enjoyable read from John Flanagan. The characters come to life and the dialogue and emotions are authentic. By the end of the book I felt that I knew the two families personally. It is a book to be savoured. Rod McCormick

This listing is for 25ml of pure AHA 70% Glycolic Acid Skin Peel.
I am an industrial formulation chemist by trade andhave derived a pure grade of Glycolic Acid which uses pharmaceutical grade glycolic acid and pure distilled water as the only ingredients. There are no chemical preservatives or additives.
A chemical peel is a body treatment technique used toimprove and smooth the texture of the facial skin using a chemical solution that causes the dead skin to slough off and eventually peel off.
Glycolic acid is one of the naturally occurring fruitacids derived from sugar cane. These fruit acids are generally called AHA (AlphaHydroxy Acids). It is the smallest member of the AHA family. Glycolic acid is known in the cosmetic industry for its line treatment with blemishing reduction properties. The peel removes the upper epidermis layer of skin, to reveal healthier looking skin. Glycolic acid skin peel can be used for the treatment of;
Fine Wrinkles
Acne Areas of Dryness
Uneven Pigmentation
Rough & Dry Skin
Large Pores
Ageing Skin & Wrinkles
Actinic Keratosis
Directions for use
First Timers - It is advised for first time users to begin with alower strength (10%-20%) Glycolic Acid treatment. Initially cleanse the skin with a suitable cleanser / toner. Take a cotton pad and dampen with the solution. Apply the damp cotton pad to a small area of the cheek and wait 1-2minutes, and then wash with plenty of warm water to remove the peel. Then access your skin tolerance for this % of Glycolic Acid skin peel. There should be no redness, burning or formation ofblisters during the treatment. If this is the case discontinue use as your skin type is too sensitive for the Glycolic Acid peel treatment. But, the skin can turn light pink during the peel process, after 48hrs the skin colour will return to normal.
Please Note - 60% & 70% Glycolic Acid Skin Peel should be diluted before use with water.
GeneralProcedure – Wipe a dampened cotton pad over the face with 10-50% Glycolic Acid Skin Peel. Leave for 2 mins then wash off with plenty of warm water. Repeat every week increasing the time periodof the peel on the face by 1 min each time for a period of 6 weeks intotal. After the 6 weeks it is advisedto allow the skin to rejuvenate for at least 2 weeks before beginning a furthertreatment regime. After each treatmentuse moisturizer to ensure the skin does not dry out. During sunny weather wear the appropriate sunscreen to protect the newly exposed skin cells (SPF15 is recommended). During the treatment phase the skin will peel andappear flaky after 1-2 days after treatment.This is a part of the treatment removing the dead skin cells. Further information can be found here;
The 25ml of AHA 70% Glycolic Acid Skin Peel treatment will be supplied in a 25ml HDPE heavy duty bottle and sent in a strong jiffy bag.
Health and Safety
I hold an MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for compositions used in the formulation and it isavailable on request as a pdf file which I will send to you. All myproducts come with the appropriate labels indicating correct handling and safety. Glycolic Acid should not be used when the skin is broken, inflamedor damaged (cuts and grazes).
Happy Bidding.
