John Kerry's Long Shortlist
Who he'll pick as his running mate and why.
John Kerry is currently engaged in one of Washington's most elaborate Kabuki rituals: the hunt for a running mate. Every four years, campaigns put vast effort into flattering political allies, pandering to interest groups, generating media buzz, and spreading disinformation. Richard Nixon is said to have advised the elder George Bush in 1988: "Once you get it down to two or three people, see to it that a dozen or so names get out in the press. It'll be a sop to everyone on the list, and it will keep the press off the trail." The press was diverted so well that Bush's eventual choice of Dan Quayle triggered one of the madder feeding frenzies of recent memory.
Also confusing matters is that what used to be the chief rationales for picking a running mate are fading. It's been a while, for instance, since a running mate was chosen to carry a major state. Today's veepstakes involves more sophisticated factors. Here, then, is a taxonomy of some names in heavy circulation and why we're hearing them.
Bring It On!
If a central theme of John Kerry's candidacy is a fearless challenge to George W. Bush on national security, then why not add another set of (unthrown) medals to the ticket? The obvious choice here would be Wesley Clark, although his gaffe-plagued romp through the Democratic primaries is problematic. Clark's fizzle may also bode ill for former Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni, despite his new book eviscerating Bush's Iraq policy. Who wants to take a chance on another general without campaign trail experience? Still, merely floating these names helps remind the public that Democrats can be tough guys, too. Also on this list: former Sen. Max Cleland.
The Wise Men
Instead of a military man, Kerry could go for a policy-wonk father figure who understands today's global dangers—as Bush did in choosing Cheney last time. Topping this list is former Georgia Sen. Sam Nunn, who now obsesses over weapons of mass destruction at the Nuclear Threat Institute. Nunn has the added benefit of being a Southerner, although he would add to the ticket another inconveniently long Senate voting record. (Among other things, Nunn opposed the first Gulf War, a reason he didn't run for president himself in 1992.) Also in this category is former New Hampshire GOP Sen. Warren Rudman who, like Nunn, has become a WMD specialist; former Indiana Rep. Lee Hamilton, now the nobly nonpartisan vice chairman of the independent Sept. 11 commission; and, if you can get past the plagiarism that killed his 1988 presidential bid, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden.
Base Drums
These choices would help whip up liberal Democrats, who are far more animated by Bush-hatred than by Kerry-worship. The most touted name in this category is Dick Gephardt, reportedly a top contender at the moment, whose authentic populism and miles-deep roots with labor unions and other party interest groups make him a fine signifier of liberal passion. Drawbacks include Gephardt's co-sponsorship of the Iraq resolution—heresy to some liberals—and the fact that he's already flopped twice on the presidential campaign trail. A long-shot choice is House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, a prolific fund-raiser beloved by women's and gay-rights groups. But it's hard to imagine a man scraping the "Massachusetts liberal" image off his shoe teaming up with a San Francisco liberal (think of the gay-marriage jokes). A choice harder to attack demagogically would be Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin.
Diversify the Portfolio
The real veepstakes contenders are usually almost all white men, but diversity-minded candidates float names of women and minorities to please interest groups and liberals. Hence another name on everyone's short list is the charismatic New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who might well excite the all-important Latino vote and help carry the Southwestern swing states of Nevada and New Mexico. Alas, Richardson carries a sherpa's load of baggage from his disastrous tenure as Energy secretary. Oft-mentioned women include two attractive swing-state senators: Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana. But both have thin records, and Democrats strongly prefer not to defend any more southern Senate seats. Some African-Americans get talked about, including Georgia congressman and civil-rights hero John Lewis and South Carolina power-broker Jim Clyburn. Also on this list: Former OMB director Franklin Raines, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, former New Hampshire Gov. Jeanne Shaheen.
Mr. Popularity
Given Kerry's charisma deficiency, he might want some fuel-injected charm at his side. John Edwards, whose blinding smile seduced so many crowds in the late primary season, could certainly help (if Kerry can forgive him for drawing out the primaries). Former senator and 9/11 commission member Bob Kerrey isn't nearly as warm and smooth, but he does offer McCain-like qualities of heroism and straight talk (and wouldn't Kerry-Kerrey have a cute ring!). The question here is whether Kerry could stomach having people like his running mate better than they like him. Other charmers: Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, Virginia Gov. Mark Warner.
They Don't Mean a Thing If They Ain't From a Swing
Several top contenders would never win a nationwide talent search but happen to hail from the right states. Hence the enduring appeal of Florida's two Democratic senators, Bill Nelson and Bob Graham. We won't bother rehashing Graham's obsessive-compulsive diaries and tragically self-destructed reputation, but it's all here. Nelson, meanwhile, offers the heroic patina of a former astronaut but less spark than a soggy matchbook. As a Catholic with a moderate profile on social issues, as well as a compelling biography, Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack could shore up Kerry with blue-collar voters, but is otherwise humdrum. Still, one bankable state could make the difference. And for the same egotistical reasons Kerry may spurn an Edwards, a reliable dullard could be just what he wants. Also on this list, though getting old: former Ohio Sen. John Glenn.
In Your Dreams
The biggest absurdity of the Kerry veepstakes has been the lavish attention given to some people with almost zero chance of joining his ticket. Exhibit A is John McCain, who says vehemently and repeatedly that he won't run with Kerry. But his name endures as Kerry allies, with cunning disingenuousness, repeat it to generate media coverage linking their man with America's favorite politician. The media, unable to resist a good McCain story, eagerly play along. (Witness last week's ridiculously overhyped Page One New York Times story, which spilled 250 breathless words before getting to McCain's buzz-killing reaction: "I have totally ruled it out.") There's also Hillary Clinton who, as usual, constitutes a strange and unique case. She may be the first frequently discussed VP contender who neither wants the position nor is wanted by the nominee. Yet Hillary is cheered on both by clueless liberal fans who don't realize how many enemies she'd bring out and by conservative haters who want to confirm their view of her as the Lady Macbeth of their fantasies. Again, the media happily goes along. No Hillary story is too stupid or far-fetched to merit a mention on Fox News or in a William Safire column. Also on this list: Former Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin.
Having said all this, it should be noted that this prognostication is almost sure to be wrong. After all, few people saw Al Gore's pick of Joe Lieberman coming, and everyone was blindsided when Dick Cheney's search for a Bush running mate turned up none other than Dick Cheney. Then, too, in 1996 it seemed preposterous that a crotchety fiscal conservative like Bob Dole could choose a flaky supply-sider like Jack Kemp. Maybe folks were too distracted by other big names then in circulation, like a young GOP rising star: Texas Gov. George W. Bush.

BELLEVUE, Wash., September 23, 2010 - Sockeye salmon returned to the Baker River this year in record numbers – a mark that fisheries managers hope to see eclipsed again and again in coming years.
More than 22,500 adult sockeye migrated up Northwest Washington's Skagit and Baker rivers this summer, dwarfing the historic average of 3,000. The 2010 total includes 18,715 sockeye that returned to Puget Sound Energy's new trap-and-haul facility in Concrete, and approximately 3,800 caught by commercial and recreational fishers.
The river's previous sockeye-return record came in 2003, when 20,236 sockeye entered PSE's trap and 731 others were harvested in the river.
While favorable ocean conditions likely contributed to 2010's big run, fisheries biologists note that eight of the river's 10 highest sockeye returns on record have occurred since the mid-1990s. That upswing, they add, is probably owed more to PSE's fisheries investments and collaborative salmon-enhancement efforts than to environmental influences.
"Salmon runs can fluctuate dramatically from year to year for a variety of reasons," said Cary Feldmann, a senior biologist and manager of Compliance and Resource Sciences for PSE. "But the strong numbers we've been seeing, with regularity, over the past 15 years indicate there's more at play here than Mother Nature. The evidence suggests that PSE's collaborative investments in protecting fish are making a big difference."
As part of the utility's license to operate its Baker River Hydroelectric Project, PSE has launched a number of major fish-enhancement projects in recent years in collaboration with state and federal natural-resource agencies and local Indian tribes.
Early this summer, PSE finished building a new, more advanced fish trap for collecting adult salmon and hauling them upstream, by "fish taxi," around the utility's two Baker River hydroelectric dams. In addition, the utility this summer completed a new, expanded Baker River fish hatchery.
In the early 1990s, PSE built a "spawning beach" alongside Baker Lake to provide salmon a predator-free environment for spawning. The facility – essentially a series of man-made, gravel-bottom pools fed by a nearby spring – is now undergoing a major upgrade by PSE.
The hatchery and spawning-beach complex are capable of producing 11 million salmon fry – four times the old hatchery's limit. With capacity for expansion, they eventually could produce 14 million fry.
Two years ago the utility completed construction of an innovative and award-winning "floating surface collector" on Baker Lake for gathering juvenile salmon and hauling them downstream around PSE's two Baker River dams. In 2009, the 1,000-ton apparatus set a new record for downstream migration of young Baker River sockeye. This past spring, it broke the record again, with more than 520,000 juvenile salmon drawn into the collector and transported by truck around the dams for their journey to sea.
In 2013, PSE will complete a floating surface collector on Lake Shannon similar to the one on Baker Lake, providing enhanced transport of juvenile salmon around Lower Baker Dam. As a result, the Lake Shannon reservoir could become, like Baker Lake, a strong habitat for sockeye propagation.
Because of PSE's fisheries investments and collaborative efforts, Baker River sockeye runs of 50,000 to 75,000 are not unrealistic to expect in coming years, according to agency biologists.

The Vampire Diaries Round Table: "We'll Always Have Bourbon Street"TV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
Last week's Vampire Diaries episode provided plenty of fodder for our Round Table team, as always.
Will Damon set Elena free? Are you buying the sire bond story? Below, Leigh Raines, Carla Day, Steve Marsi and Miranda Wicker join newcomer Alena Chandler delve deeper into "We'll Always Have Bourbon Street."
With another Delena sex scene, more sire bond mysteries and flashbacks on tap, let's get to it!
1. Delena sex scenes thus far on a scale of 1-10 (1 being a cold shower, 10 setting the house on fire):
Carla: 10! That was hot. Now, I get why Delena fans have been clamoring for the couple to get together.
Miranda: 9, because they keep getting interrupted by Stefan and Caroline's whiny conversations about the sire bond.
Alena: 11. I have been waiting for the passion, and it didn't disappoint. They are so hot together!
Leigh: It was so so hot but I'm going with 8. Minus 1 for the way it was cut up with Caroline and Stefan's convo, because who wants to be interrupted during that? And minus another 1 because I could physically hear her nails cutting through the skin on his back drawing blood. However I have no doubt that Ian and Nina's real life sex life is probably a TEN.
Steve: 7.5. Not sounding any alarms just yet, but certainly fiery enough for me to make sure my homeowner's insurance policy provides adequate fire coverage.
2. Is Caroline justified in her whining?
Carla: She came right up to the point of annoying, but didn't cross it. From a factual point, she's right and as Elena's friend, she has a reason to be concerned. At the same time, her whining didn't help the situation.
Miranda: No, and I know there are flames coming about this. Tyler was a total jerk when the show started. He's changed. Stefan has been a "cocky ripper douche" within the past year. Both of them have been forgiven for their actions. Damon has changed, too. If Caroline hates Damon because of the way Damon used her as a blood bag when she was human and that's the reason she doesn't want Elena to be with him, then she needs to vocalize that. She needs to stop whining "Damon bad!" and have a conversation.
Alena: Oh Caroline, she just doesn't stop. And she's been one of my favorite vamp's since she was turned, but it drives me crazy how she rags on Damon non-stop but can justify everyone else's actions. There are worse guys in town than Damon (Hello, Klaus!) that she manages to not complain about all the time. Just because she doesn't want to see the good in Damon, doesn't mean it isn't there.
Leigh: I normally love Caroline. In fact she is probably a fave over here at TV Fanatic. I do understand her reasons for disliking Damon, but all of these characters have flaws some worse than others. I wish she'd just try and have a conversation instead of screeching at her. Also it'd be nice to have a sex scene without her complaining intercut with it.
Steve: Since when does a woman have to be justified to start whining about stuff guys do ... am I right ladies??! But seriously now. I don't blame her for harboring ill will towards Damon. How can you not, honestly, given the guy's track record. That said, her opposition was so vehement this week that it felt forced to me at times.
3. Why does Professor Shady... I mean Shane... need 12 Hybrids instead of just 12 humans for his sacrifice?
Carla: That's the question, isn't it? Hybrids haven't been a known creature for long, so why does he want them? My only guess is that sacrificing the Hybrids will provide the ability to rid the world of vampires and werewolves. The evil power would either eliminate them from existence OR more likely tie into the Hunter's Mark and the cure.
Miranda: I'm guessing it has something to do with undoing the magic that entombed the big scary dude he's trying to untomb. Like, only the death of the most unnatural of unnatural beings can get Bonnie to express herself fully. (And I've got a whole rant worked up in my head about the Evil Bonnie just waiting to be unleashed. Maybe I'll leave it in the comments.)
Alena: Who can think about unsired hybrids when there's hot DELENA hooking up happening??? I kid (sort of, not really) I think the 12 unsired Hybrids have something to do with Klaus and whatever ugliness is buried out there that he seems to be plotting on and on about. When the pastor killed himself his note said a greater evil was coming, whatever dark evil magic he's planning on bringing is going to be a total game changer. (But let's hope that it's happening while Damon and Elena are still hooking up. Because, FINALLY!)
Leigh: Noticed in the comments that maybe we should be paying closer attention to the people who were blown up in that house by the pastor. Were there 12? Maybe sacrificing 12 humans didn't do enough for Professor Shane. Maybe unsired hybrids bring more power? Also Miranda's comment about Bonnie "expressing herself" has now put Madonna in my head!
Steve: Leigh and our readers make a great point about the 12 council members. Obviously, the number is not a coincidence, and whatever power he's trying to harness is designed to end vampirism as we know it.
4. How much do you truly believe in the vampire sire bond after everything we've heard?
Carla: I believe in it. Charlotte and her "Literally, every brick" state proved its existence to me.
Miranda: Ergh. Ugh. Bleh. I hate it. Damon says it happens once in a million years and it's happened to him twice in 160? Why was neither Salvatore sired to Katherine? Totally hate it.
Alena: I thought it was all crap until Charlotte. I don't understand how it has happened to Damon twice if it's supposedly so rare? Twice to the same vampire, seems not so rare. My heart started beating faster, and I maybe cheered when Tyler told Elena that it doesn't change feelings. Sure, maybe she's sired, and maybe he'll have to be more careful with what he says to her. But to break her heart, knowing that her feelings are real and her own and true, seems like torture just for the sake of breaking a sire bond. I hope Damon is selfish and just slams her up against the wall and they have hot vamp sex at the start of next episode. TAKE THAT VAMPIRE SIRE BOND!
Leigh: The vampire sire bond seems less definitive than the hybrid one. I feel like there are loopholes. Charlotte was definitely an extreme case. Elena always had a habit of making her own decisions regardless of pissing off the Salvatores, before she was turned. That said, it's kind of a big annoying roadblock.
Steve: As Alena says, if it happened to Damon so easily twice, how can it also be so rare? And wouldn't some other vampire have tried to dispatch a clingy sired vamp through these means already? As Carla said, I liked that this week better explained it, but it still feels like something of a contrived plot device to me.
5. Is Damon going to set Elena free?
Carla: Yes. He has to for both of them. He won't be happy knowing that she may not be there of her own will. Though, I suspect he will free her in a different way then he did Charlotte. He will find a loophole of sorts that will give her free will without forcing her to forget him forever.
Miranda: I think he will. And I think I'll cry. Why can't he just NOT suggest things to her? I don't need them to talk, you guys. I just need them to have more scenes like the ending of last week and the beginning of this one.
Alena: Clearly, I hope not. I have been waiting for Damon to FINALLY get the girl. If he walks away from her it will break him. After his history with Katherine, I don't think he could survive another devastating heart break (I mean clearly he'd SURVIVE, he's a vampire).
Leigh: Damon loves her enough to try not to be selfish about her, but he also loves her so much that he will try and find a loophole so they can be together. Who's to say that if he releases Elena her feelings will die? It's not like he's going to tell her "don't fall in love with me."
Steve: As Leigh mentioned in her Vampire Diaries review, can't he just order her to do something along the lines of "stop listening to me and following my advice verbatim, but feel free to be incredibly attracted to me still." Best of both worlds if you ask me.
6. Matt and Jeremy were MIA this week. Did you miss them?
Carla: I realized they weren't around, but I didn't miss them. They didn't have anything to add to this particular story.
Miranda: Matt's growing on me, so yes, I missed him. He and Jeremy must've been pulling doubles at The Grill to pay for that house.
Alena: I didn't so much miss Jeremy, I'm not a big fan of Hunter Jeremy. But I did miss Matt, I really feel for him. He is left out of most of the major story lines. Poor guy.
Leigh: The only character whose presence I always and forever miss is Alaric. Good thing Cult got a premiere date!
Steve: LOL @ Miranda. Those guys have been great this season, and I've enjoyed their storylines more than in the past ... but I admit that I hadn't thought about either until reading this question.

Not only do you have a chance to get a personally signed copy of the book from Preeti, but also a 30% discount. You can also follow the FaceBook updates for the book here.
A couple of weeks back, during a random online browsing activity, I accidentally came across Preeti Shenoy's book titled "Life is what you make it" – Something about the title compelled me to buy the book. I finished reading it in one night. Then I read her other 2 books "34 Bubblegums and Candies" and "Tea for Two and a Piece of Cake" all of which are National Bestsellers in India. After I finished reading all the three, I learnt that she also blogs, so naturally I visited her blogs. I liked her writings (both books and blogs) simply because they were simple, easy to read and written straight from the heart!
So I sent her a request for the Rendezvous and she immediately replied with a "YES"!
In this rendezvous, we discussed about Preeti's journey into the world of writing and some nuggets about life which she strongly believes in.
Nischala: Hi Preeti. Firstly, Thanks for your time. It's great to connect with you!
Preeti: Hi Nischala. Thanks for this
Nischala: So Preeti – Firstly, Congrats on the success as a writer. From what I read, all your books are national bestsellers and are doing very well!
Preeti: Yes! Thank You. They are all indeed doing well. Touch wood!
Nischala: So let me start this rendezvous with how your writing journey started?
Preeti: I have always been a writer. From childhood, I have written several short stories and poems – Many of which have won laurels and have been published in journals / magazines, etc.
But looking back, I think the big push for writing came only after I lost my father. In order to deal with this loss I started writing – Writing primarily for myself and more as an outlet for my thoughts and emotions. Writing kept me busy and almost was therapeutic to help me deal with a difficult and vulnerable phase in my life. So I started posting my writings on a blog anonymously and I was happy to see that my posts were very well received. The big boost came when a radio show in the US picked up a post of mine for the "Perfect Post" Award. The traffic and reader base increased significantly after that.
I then started writing more seriously and in more respected publications like Reader's Digest, Chicken Soup Series, Times of India, etc. One of the main reasons that I took up writing seriously was because it kept me busy and helped me deal with the loss of my father. So I wrote about things which I believed in or which I was passionate about – like life, relationships, animals, bikes, dance, art, etc. I think there are more than 60 articles of mine published in various publications.
And at the same time I received a lot of comments and suggestions urging me to explore writing a book. And that's how my first book "34 Bubblegums and Candies" was born. It's really a compilation of little stories from my life and some of these were already published on my blog.
Nischala: That's an interesting journey. So looking back, what was your happiest and proudest moment as a writer?
Preeti : As a writer, my happiest moment was when my first book came out. Also when my second book was named among the 'top books of 2011'. And honestly I write because I enjoy it; and so it has been a happy journey all along.
Nischala: Wow! Congrats. I guess there is something special about the "firsts" of anything in life – Especially your first book . I also see that you write regularly on your blog and also have been able to publish 3 books in the past few years. From my understanding, they are two different worlds. So, what is the key difference between a blog and book?
Preeti: That's correct. I started blogging in 2006 and since then I try to blog regularly.
Blogs and Books are two different worlds simply because in a book you need to have a storyline, characters, a setting, dialogue, etc. And more importantly there has to be a central theme to your book. While in a blog, you can write about anything you want and publish it! And every blog post can be a separate theme.
Nischala: That's interesting! So moving on, you have also given a TEDx Talk very recently. How did that happen? And what was the key message? How was the experience?
Preeti: I have given two Ted X talks –one at Symbiosis Institute for Technology and management Pune, where I spoke on creativity in daily life and another at Ted X Sona, where I spoke on '5 lessons for growth'. Both talks were very well received. The experience was great.
Nischala: Preeti -This is the first time I am talking to you. But in this brief interaction, you sound so positive about everything. So how do you manage to stay so positive?
Preeti: Hmm… Well that's something which a lot of people say to me. See I think I am generally a happy and contented person in life and it manifests in my interactions with others. I believe that for everything in life you do the best you can in whatever situation you are in. And if things don't work out the way you wanted, deal with it and move on.
Nischala: That's a great attitude for life. So what do you think anyone can do on a daily basis to feel positive, happy and alive!
Preeti: Well, there are no universal answers. But here's what I do and it helps me a great deal.
Do something you love everyday – It can be reading or art or listening to music or meeting friends or watching a TV program – Whatever it is, set some time every day to do what you love. You will be surprised at how much difference it can make in your life.
Laugh – Do something fun that makes you laugh – It can be that you read a joke or watch a cartoon or just fake a laugh. But laughing regularly definitely has a positive effect on your overall well-being
Nischala: Thanks for sharing these practical tips. I am sure that if anyone did the above regularly, it will have a positive impact on their lives. So, as we conclude any message that you'd like to conclude with?
Preeti: "Live life today, Follow your heart and Live everyday"
There is joy in little things that you can do every day. Most of us rush from morning to night in doing a zillion things, and we don't stop to appreciate the beauty and the magic of the world around us like smell the flowers, enjoy our meals, spend time with people we love and care for, etc. At the end of the day, life should be about what makes you happy and contented. And if you figure this out and know how to get there, then you will end up happy and contented every day of your life.
I truly believe that life is short and so very unpredictable. I am saying this because I have experienced up close of personal what it means to deal with the demise of those who mean the world to you.
And what I learnt from all these experiences is that it is important to focus on living well and being happy today. Finally when you go, you don't take anything with you – especially not money. And what you leave is memories for others and how you impacted their lives.
I was not like this 5 – 7 years back. But as of today, this is something I believe in and execute every single day this way. So I live life to the fullest today, enjoy every single day and am happy and content at the end of the day. That's what really matters.
Nischala: Thank you so much for this rendezvous.
Preeti: Pleasure is all mine. Have a great day!
How did you like this rendezvous? Leave a comment to let us know..

I digress. Back to broccoli. In my C.S.A. (Consumer supported agriculture) box, I received a lot of fresh broccoli. We love broccoli-- roasted, steamed, raw. I haven't made broccoli salad in ages, so I decided to go for it. Since I had a lot of broccoli stalks, I also decided to make cream of broccoli soup.
I didn't measure, so I will do my best to help those of you who like to follow recipes to the "letter". I thought I'd admit to all of you that, when trying a brand new recipe, I tend to follow it precisely. I rarely improvise, unless it's something I feel really safe with. I make notes, and the second time around I'll improvise.
That's what I did with my broccoli salad. I checked around for recipes, and I decided that I wanted to use dried cranberries, instead of raisins. I also wanted to use rice vinegar (unseasoned) so that I could use less sugar. I decided to use sliced almonds and so I got busy:
My florets are a little on the chunky side. You can cut them teeny tiny, but I like shortcuts...
In boiling water, I blanched the broccoli for 2 minutes.
Using one of my favorite kitchen gadgets (my "spider") the broccoli was immersed into an ice water bath.
I had cooked bacon from a previous recipe that I re-heated in the microwave. I'd say it was about a cup of bacon...maybe a little less. I used about handful of sliced onion, about 1/2 cup of red onion (be careful, or it can overpower your salad, about 1 cup of dried cranberries, a handful of sliced almonds and I was ready to add the dressing...
I used approximated one cup of mayonnaise, 2 Tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1/4 cup of sugar and whisked it as my dressing. Adjust seasonings to suit your taste.
This is about the time that my boys show up. How do they know when something is almost ready?
My son, who has usually been skeptical of broccoli took a taste. He loved it!
Personally, I think this salad tastes best fresh. The next day, I find that it can become soggy. But, that's me...
A printable recipe card is at the end of this post.

Allen won just about everything possible as an amateur: the Northern Ireland title in all age divisions, the European juniors, the European amateur championship and the IBSF world amateur crown.
So he was used to winning before turning pro and this was evident again when he was selected as a wildcard for the 2005 Northern Ireland Trophy.
In his television debut against the great Steve Davis he did not freeze. Far from it, he played superbly and beat the six times world champion. The following day he beat John Higgins.
Very quickly Allen joined the top 16. He started making semi-finals – including at the 2009 Wordl Championship and 2011 Masters – and this season reached his first final at the UK Championship, where he contested a thrilling tussle with Judd Trump.
He was 3-0 down to Trump in the last 16 earlier this week but never stopped believing he could win, the same attributes that saw him come from 5-2 in arrears to beat Mark Selby 6-5 in the semi-finals.
Today he was unstoppable. To beat a resurgent Stephen Lee 10-1 is some achievement.
It's a case of what a difference a year makes for the Antrim man. Last year, he went to the airport to fly to Hainan Island for an invitation event but was overcome by panic and could not get on the plane.
He subsequently received treatment for depression. Things picked up in his personal life and he is now engaged to his girlfriend, Kyla.
Allen has repeatedly stated that he doesn't like travelling but in fact this is his second final far from home this season after he partnered Gerard Greene to the runners-up spot for Northern Ireland in the World Cup. His first professional title also came in China, the 2009 Jiangsu Classic.
He's not endeared himself to everyone in the sport but, like his legendary compatriot Alex Higgins, doesn't seem to care.
Maybe after the controversy earlier in the week he fired himself up with an 'I'll show them' attitude.
Well, he showed us what we already know: that he's a brilliant player possessed of steely resolve with the ability to beat anyone in the game.
Now that he has won his first ranking title there is no reason why more shouldn't follow.
30 comments:
Ironic how both of his profressional titles are in China, especially since he loves to travel so much.
I can honestly see Trump, Ding and Allen dominating when the late 90s generation start to decline.
- 1:07 pm
now you can leave the 'stinky country of filled with ignorant people' behind now, mr allen.
good riddance.
- 1:58 pm
- Greg P said...
Well done Mark Allen.
He was focussed like a madman during the first session. It was really great to watch. He survived a brief lull in his concentration because Lee couldn't capitalise (probably already demoralised at that point).
That was a real battering. Lee only just survived a whitewash (that one frame he won was still losable until he sank the very last black ball).
- 2:07 pm
The World Champs is beginning to look very open this year. Love the new look to the blog Dave.
- 3:21 pm
Really well done Mark! A very tough draw at the Worlds but a great season regardless of what happens there.
- 7:10 pm
mark was a nice guy up until a couple of years ago.
he is from a good family, but over the last couple of years has turned into a horrible little man.
i am all for people having different opinions, but there is a way normal decent human beings put things when they are not happy.
he is quite offensive to the point i now find him vulgar.
- 7:44 pm
Even his victory tweet mentions the people who criticise him.
Allen seems a well balanced lad, in other words he has a chip on both shoulders.
- 8:11 pm
He's in the easiest quarter. Avoids O'Sullivan, Higgins, Williams, Trump and Robertson. You can't ask for more than that really. That must probably rank as one of the best first title wins ever.
Allen obviously needs a bit of controversy to get going. Maybe he could slag off chav culture when he heads for the Masters; go in for a bit of holocaust denial at the German Masters; complain that Sheffield is overrun with Asians when he heads for the Crucible; call the Welsh a nation of Sheep shaggers...he could win the whole lot!
- 8:31 pm
The snooker fraternity awaits the next installment of the Mark Allen story and his words of infinite wisdom, rapier wit and profound observations about the world in which we live.
He has tackled matters such as the lack of business acumen of entrepreneur Barry Hearn who he claimed should resign.
He also managed to quickly condemn the Chinese people as "ignorant" during his brief stay.
This guy is a big hitter. No doubt that next will be the Cameron/Clegg alliance.
I expect Mark to say something really relevent, current and insightful about these world matters.
All done tastefully and with no little class and sophistication.
- 11:34 pm
It makes a nice change though to have an opinion that clearly hasn't been "stage managed"; I'd take an unpleasant person over a fake any day.
- 2:29 am
Yet again, no mention of the final on sports bulletins on Radio 5live... but if you're into swimming then you're well catered for. Also on one well known agency's sports wires, no mention of the snooker from yesterday, but plenty of water-based sports reports as that's what everyone on the streets are talking about.
- 8:01 am
Good player but charmless idiot who think he knows everything but clearly knows zilch.
- 10:21 am
Hello, Dave. I would like to know one detail about PTC Grand Final 2012: is it a ranking tournament or minor-ranking? If you know, please, answer:) p.s. Sorry for off topic and (probably) my bad english.
- 10:42 am
- Dave H said...
I count it as a ranking title
- 12:53 pm
@ 8:31pm - so the quarter with Selby and Ding is the easiest?
- 1:33 pm
Surely Dave it can't be classed as a ranking event as it is open to pro's and amateurs. Yes it provides ranking points but what would happen (in the very unlikely event) that Mike Hallett wins one ;-) ?
- 1:40 pm
It has been a joy watching Allen this week. We knew he was good, and finally he got the victory he deserves.
Can´t wait for the worlds to begin, let´s hope he can focus and play his best there too.
You can´t beat the feeling when your favourite player wins ;-)
- 1:43 pm
- jamie brannon said...
Couldn't help but notice that John Parrott is coming out of retirement to enter the qualifying for the World Championship.
Be amazing if he made it, but think he will lose to Patrick Wallace first up.
Hendry has been dealt a good draw, while Steve Davis and Jimmy White have a chance.
The nugget would face Dominic Dale, who despite two ranking event wins, is not a player that scores too heavily or has capacity to do so like others in the 17-32 bracket, and White would have to play Jamie Cope, a player who is experiencing a crisis of confidence.
- 3:06 pm
Yes, the quarter with Ding and Selby is the easiest, when compared to the draws in the other rounds. The top quarter has two players who have five world titles between them from 8 world finals. The second quarter has three finalists with 4 finals and a win between them. The third quarter has three world champions with 6 titles between them. The fourth quarter is the only section without a world champion, although it has two finalists with three finals to their name.
- 5:10 pm
@5:10 Well using your logic, if Hendry was in the bottom quarter, it would become the hardest as it had most world titles.
- 6:47 pm
At least I'm using logic, anon. The fact is Ding is a huge Crucible under-performer with just a single semi to his name. Higgins, Dott, Murphy, Carter, Trump, O'Sullivan, Robertson, have all reached the final since Selby reached it and are all in other sections of the draw.
- 1:18 am
The bottom half of the draw is clearly stronger. Higgins and Trump are favourites to get to the semi in the top half, the bottom could be anyone from Robertson/O'Sullivan/Selby/Allen/Ding. The bottom quarter of the draw is the strongest in terms of competitiveness. This is going on form and not historical statistics that mean next to nothing in the context of this years event.
- 1:53 pm
"Clearly" as in based on your own subjective opinion. You have included two players who have never reached a final and one who last reached it five years ago, so your view has very little credibility in my eyes. More often than not, the world final is contested by players who have previously contested a world final in the previous 5/6 years, so historical form in the event obviously counts for something. In this century alone, the world final has been contested by 16 repeat offenders as opposed to 8 debutantes, so you are twice as likely to reach the final if you have been there before. Next time anon, do your homework before posting nonsense.
- 6:09 pm
So Carter, Dott and Murphy are more dangerous than Ding and Allen? Talk about misguided
- 8:23 am
If White, Davis and Hendry manage to qualify, they will be even more dangerous than the other former finalists put together! :D
But seriously, I can see how some quarters might be slightly 'easier' than others, but there are no certainties and at least 10 of the current top 16 are quite capable of going all the way.
Tough call for the bookies.
- 12:21 pm
I'd certainly have Murphy and Dott ahead of Ding and Allen. Ding and Allen have only reached one semi apiece, whereas Murphy and Dott reached two of the last three finals lol. You don't have a clue anon, you're the reason bookies stay in business.
- 5:43 pm

i wasnt the person who put that, but id say AT THE CRUCIBLE (which i believe the person was referring to) that those 3 players ARE more dangerous. id say their track record proves this
- 7:15 pm
Think the players to look out for at the crucible are those with bottle and a bit of form going into the championships.
Right now thats Allen, Robinson, Trump and O'Sullivan.
I think Murphy and Selby seem to struggle at the very end of the tournament to get over the line the past couple of years.
Ding is unpredictable. He could bow out tamely or win the event. Higgins has the bottle but seriously out of form.
I dont agree with this easy draw stuff though. Any of the top 10 or 11 can win any tournament now, and any top 16er can beat each other in any match.
- 10:22 pm
i agree kc
(theres a first)
- 9:32 am
Hi David. A superb performace from Mark Allen, to win his first professional title.

I decide to use sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg and allspice. I use Clearjel (King Arthur Flour, online) as my thickener, but you can use tapioca or cornstarch. I add some fresh lemon juice, a few pats of butter and add the top pie crust. The "lattice" is fake, I admit. I have a Pie Lattice Cutter.
TASTING NOTES "Mr. I-only-eat-berry-pie Craig" liked the flavor combo a lot. Me? I think that the blend of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice was just right. The pie crust is tender and flavorful. Of course, vanilla ice cream is a must. Next year, I need to buy rhubarb a little earlier in the season, though I think frozen rhubarb would work just as well. In fact, I think this would be a perfect summer pie for the 4th of July weekend.
Even if you don't make Strawberry-Rhubarb pie, the pie crust is super delicious for any kind of pie. While pie aficionados swear that one must use a pastry cutter I beg to differ. With my food processor, I get tender and flaky crusts. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Homemade ice cream is chilling. I'm off to see what Sarah recommends as vegetable side dishes. I'm making-- what else-- another pie, for our BBQ with the family.

Ordered these yesterday, paid for 1 day shipping and they are at my door today! Wow! Great service! Thought for sure it would take an extra day to process even though I did provide my prescription via email cause I ordered at 4pm. Less than 24 hours for delivery, I'm impressed! I love proclear toric lenses, I have a severe astigmatism and myopia and they correct my vision just as well as my glasses and are comfortable all day long. Can't ask for much more than that from a contact lense. Thanks again for the great service, I will most definitely reorder with you again!
Dec 2014
Proclear Toric exceptional price
$350 for 4 boxes from my doc, $250 from 1800contacts and $150 from Opticontacts. Been buying from opticontacts for years -- exact same product, same quality just a very fair price. High water content lens - is very fragile so just be careful not to rip them.

Not happy with these after switching from acuvue to get more moisture. These have maybe 4-6 hours of wear time before they dried out my eyes. And 2 lenses tore after the second day of use. Too flimsy very dry....poor choice.

Its often a risk returning to a previously visited resort but this year I felt the White House was better than ever. The crew, always smiling and willing to help, lead by Marianna, were excellent. Its hard to pick any 1 point deserving extra praise, all services were of a high standard. IMHO the White House remains exceptional value for money.

Nice hotel very close to the airport. We only stayed one night because we were continuing to Koh Tao. The room was fine and the staff were really helpful and friendly. The resort is built in a nice tropical garden. The breakfast buffé was way better than we anticipated. Really nice. The beach is relatively small, located in the north East corner of Samui, so it s really quiet and slow. Some like it but it s too quiet for my family. If you are looking for a couple of nights relaxation after a long journey, or just like it when it s really calm and slow, you can t go wrong. Personally, I need more action. But the hotel is good.

I ve stayed here 3/4 times now and whilst the hotel is in need of some TLC it remains to be excellent value for money. OK the hotel is only 3* but the rooms are well cleaned daily, the staff always friendly and helpful, food is acceptable...not fancy, the pool clean and well located in a sunny spot ideal for late afternoon chilling....what more can you ask for! Thanks to you Elena and your team for a great stay.

There were other guests during our stay, who had booked a normal bungalow, who moved out to an other hotel as their toilet was not working, room looked old, furniture ugly, no proper shower just a bath tube... The garden is beautiful and the beach just breath taking also a short bay compared to Chaweng or Maenam Beach. The hotel buildings, restaurant, receptions entry, the sun chairs would ask for some renovation to be done. Except the suite we had, it is obvious that the owner is not investing in the hotel anymore, which is kind of sad as the location would be so beautiful. English knowledge of the employees is poor, including reception staff, with the exception of 1 person, who just started to work in the restaurant, origin Philippines.

Accommodation and facilities:
I think some people have too greater expectations. The Thai style hotel is the oldest in Choeng Mon, the rooms are darkened by the extensive flora, almost jungle surroundings (unfortunately attracting mosquitos), the rooms are well cleaned daily, and despite other comments we found hot water plentiful at all times. Yes, the hotel is in need of some TLC but for its excellent location its our preferred stay.
Reservation service:
Easy but I would prefer to have the option to pay in my own currency as in previous years

Hotel location on The Beach and staff is fantastic! But The rooms which are Very old and Dark, really need to be renovated and updated. The bathroom had an old rusty jacuzzi with no hot water. The website also forget to mention that The rooms have no balcony or anywhere you could sit and relax outside unless you want to sit on The Stairs. And the spa which they mention on the website is non existing! Beakfast is poor. But the lunch is fantastic and cheap.

(Formerly 'Chomdao' and 'Chomduean', simply translated mean 'Looking for the Stars' and 'Looking for the Moon'.) These two magnificent Thai Suites are steeped in history, culture and custom. Just spending a few nights in this unique, beautifully restored, Ayutthaya Style Thai house will give you an insight into the true meaning of Thai tradition and culture.
Thai Suites each have a separate bedroom and living room. In the living room, an outsized abstract painting in red and gold contrasts beautifully with the dark teak walls, tastefully illuminated by carefully positioned wall and floor lamps.
A foulard with ancient pictorial art decorates the bedrooms teak-wood walls. The antique tester-bed was previously displayed at the Bang-Pa-In Royal Palace, in the former Thai capital of Ayutthaya.
The bathroom is tiled in sandstone with a specially designed salty egg shaped hand basin. The paintings on the bathroom doors are done by a local artist from Maenam in the Ayutthayan period style and are perfect examples of traditional Thai artistry. The detail shown represents a stalk of rice as well as various animals, symbolizing the abundance of nature in Thailand.
A sliding glass door in combination with a large terrace provides ventilation and offers relief from the hot and humid climate.

LUBBOCK, Texas --- Tennessee Tech's one-two punch of juniors Tristan Archer and Zane Morton proved too much for Missouri State Friday afternoon, as the Golden Eagles opened their 2012 season with a 3-2 win.
"It was a fun game," head coach Matt Bragga. "Tristan and Zane were both phenomenal and defensively our guys played fundamentally sound baseball. When you have good pitching and defense you got a shot to win every game."
Archer seemed to have an answer for every would-be Bears rally as he threw six shutout innings, while striking out five batters compared to just four hits given up. MSU managed to get at least one base runner in every inning, including two instances when it loaded the bases in the fifth and sixth innings, but could not get a runner to cross the plate.
The sixth inning proved most crucial as the Bears loaded the bases with nobody out. Undaunted, Archer stuck out the next two batters and forced a pop fly to end the inning.
As solid as Archer was on the mound at the start of the game, junior Zane Morton from Midland, Texas, was equally effective at the end of the game as he came on in relief of junior Nick Price with one out in the seventh inning.
In 2.2 innings, Morton struck out two batters and allowed just one hit as he earned his first save as a Golden Eagle.
"For Zane to have his first outing go like that near his home was something special," Bragga said. "This is exactly what we expected Zane to be capable of."
While Archer and Morton kept the Bears in check, the Golden Eagle batters pestered MSU starter and ace Nick Petree during his seven innings of work as they managed to tally three runs on seven hits and a walk.
In the second inning senior Ben Burgess reached second base on an error, which set the table for junior Evan Frazier as he singled to center to put the Golden Eagles up 1-0.
TTU added another run in the fifth, as senior Chad Hayes singled home junior Zephan Guyear. Tech posted another run in the sixth as Frazier scored on an MSU fielding error.
Tech finished the game with seven hits, three of which came off the bat of junior Austin Wulf.
Missouri State, which was ranked 31st in the nation by College Baseball News and picked to win the Missouri Valley Conference, finished the day with eight hits, including Luke Voits two-run shot in the seventh, which brought the score to 3-2.
The Golden Eagles (1-0) continue play in the Red Raider Classic Saturday as they take on Missouri State at 12 p.m., and Texas Tech at 4 p.m.

Last Monday morning, while in NYC for Fashion Week, I got ready and rushed out of my hotel room – forgetting to apply lotion. Quelle horreur, right? Honestly, that doesn't even begin to cover it because I was on my way to an event sponsored by Vaseline. I mean, how you gonna show up for a Vaseline event with ashy arms?
When I arrived at the event and spied my scaly skin, I was beyond embarrassed. But my awkward situation actually presented a unique opportunity to put Vaseline's new Sheer Infusion with Stratys-3 lotions to the test.
I have to admit that when I squeezed a dollop of the silky formula into my open palm, I was immediately skeptical. I was all, "Child, please. Bring on the grease! If Vaseline believes that this thin lotion is going to quench my Sahara-dry dermis, I've got some swamp land in Florida I'd like to sell 'em." But after smoothing Sheer Infusion on my my skin, I was shocked at how it instantly banished the ash – leaving it hydrated and silky smooth all day.
Though it works like magic, there is actually some hard core science behind Vaseline's newest breakthrough. Sheer Infusion delivers two times more moisture than leading everyday body lotions – thanks to Stratys-3, a multi-layer moisturizing complex that infuses and suspends moisture across multiple layers of the skin (the top, the core and deep down). The revolutionary patented technology of Stratys-3 enables Sheer Infusion to deliver these layers by combining three powerful ingredients: Glycerol Quat, Glycerin and Hydroxy Ethyl Urea.
Sheer Infusion with Stratys-3 is available in three variants:
* Botanical Blend: With botanical cypress extract and eucalyptus extract, this lotion is perfect for those looking for skin soothing benefits. It features a sap boost scent with hints of Fiji apple, Chinese mandarin, sun-drenched water lily, stephanotis flowers, Baltic amber and musk.
*Mineral Renewal (Spoiled Pretty fave!): This formula contains enriching minerals found in healthy skin for when your skin feels tired and depleted. It features a scent of crisp pear, fresh bergamot, white peony, apple blossom and a hint of ginger essence.
* Vitamin Boost: Featuring Vitamins B5 and E, this lotion is ideal for those whose skin needs a boost. The ferngully scent includes a blend of sparkling citrus, red current berries, pear, rhubarb, flowers and spices.
Vaseline Sheer Infusion with Stratys-3 is available now at food, drug and mass retailers nationwide in both 6.8 oz bottles ($6.25) and 13.5 oz pump bottles ($8.99). Click here for a coupon. But you can get your hydration on here…for FREE!
That's right, y'all. Three lucky winners will receive three bottles of each lotion (9 bottles in all)!
To enter the giveaway, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Be sure to include your full name and mailing address. The subject line should read "Vaseline Giveaway." The contest ends at midnight (EST) on Tuesday, September 29th. Three winners will be chosen at random from among the entrants. On Wednesday, September 30th, I'll announce the winners' names. Please, only one entry per person; duplicate entries will not increase your chances of winning. Contest is open to U.S. residents.
Good luck!

An easy path is all relative. For Zimbabwe, Australia's path to final would have been very difficult. You are essentially saying that Australia is a very good side.

'The Proudest and Most Arrogant Man in France'
Letters of Gustave Courbet
Last year at the Musée Courbet in Ornans there was an exhibition of the "erotic" work of André Masson. It was mostly grim stuff: juvenile, facile, and often plain nasty, reminding us that dredging the male subconscious can bring up dead dogs and rusty torture equipment. But for those who trudged through the gallery there was an unexpected reward at the far end. Alone and unsignaled was Courbet's rarely seen The Origin of the World: the splayed female nude, from breast to mid-thigh, painted for the Turkish diplomat Khalil Bey, and which latterly hung in Jacques Lacan's country house. Despite decades of subsequent erotica and pornography it is still extraordinarily potent. Edmond de Goncourt, who found "ce Jordaens moderne" too vulgar for his taste, his nudes "untrue," and who after attending a joint private view in 1867 of Courbet's tribadic Le Sommeil and Ingres's Bain antique (both painted for Khalil Bey) dismissed the two painters as idiots populaires, was won round by The Origin of the World. He saw it for the first time in 1889, ten years after Courbet's death, and offered "honorable amends" to one who could render flesh as well as Correggio. It is painted with a lush delicacy, and the effect is intimidatingly realistic. No, it's not like that, it's like this, the painting seems to declare. And the fact that it continues to make this declaration when surrounded by twentieth-century erotica, that it is capable of rebuking the future as well as its own past and present, is a sign of how alive Courbet's work remains.
He was always a great rebuker, a setter-right in both art and life. No, it's not like that, it's like this: the head-on sky-billowed seascape, the cocky self-portrait, the dense female flesh, the dying animal in the snow, all are imbued with a corrective as well as a descriptive zeal. He is an in-your-face realist painter, aesthetically assertive. "Shout loud and walk straight" was apparently a Courbet family maxim, and throughout his letters, which cover the whole of his adult life, he shouts loud and listens contentedly to the echo. He calls himself "the proudest and most arrogant man in France" (1853). By 1861, "I have the entire artistic youth looking at me and at the moment I am their commander-in-chief." By 1867, "I have astounded the whole world…. I triumph not only over the moderns but over the old masters as well." "The attention I get is tremendous" (1872). "On my side I have all of democracy, all women of all nations, all foreign painters" (1873). He cannot go stag-hunting in the hills outside Frankfurt without reporting that his exploits "aroused the envy of all Germany."
Though much of this arrogance seems natural, it was also tailored to the market. Courbet, who was born in Ornans in the Franche-Comté in 1819, came to Paris at the age of twenty, and had his first picture accepted by the Salon five years later, created, or adapted to his use,…

Verizon's request for broadband service extension denied
The state Public Utilities Commission denied Verizon's recent request for a three-month extension in providing high-speed broadband capacity to Swall Meadows and Crowley Lake.
The communications company was under an order to provide service to the small, hard-to-serve communities, after it violated a Scenic Highway regulation requiring a waiver if cables were not buried along the highway.
The state's letter, written on Jan. 31 by Paul Clanon, executive director for the PUC, fails to give a deadline for Verizon to provide the service (Verizon originally had a Jan. 28 deadline)—but makes it clear that the PUC believes Verizon's request for a three-month extension stands on flimsy grounds.
The letter states, in part, "Three developments influenced my decision (to deny this request).
"First, on Jan. 23, communications division staff requested that Verizon provide additional information by Jan. 28, regarding the reasons for the delay in project completion and the timing of its extension request. Verizon has yet to answer this request.
"Second, in a project update provided to communications division staff on Dec. 10, 2012, six weeks before Verizon submitted this extension request, Verizon did not indicate it would need more time to complete this project.
"Finally, the Mono County Board of Supervisors and local residents sent letters opposing the extension.
"Given the lack of information explaining the project delay, coupled with local opposition to Verizon's extension request, I hereby deny the request. As Verizon missed the deadline to provide broadband service to these communities…
"Despite the missed deadline, Verizon should work to provide broadband service to the communities of Crowley Lake and Swall Meadows as ordered and notify the commission when it begins offering service."
Verizon did not comment before press time.
