Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy miss cut at Abu Dhabi

This kind of performance makes it really hard to stay interested.

Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy shoot 75s, miss cut at Abu Dhabi - Sports - The Boston Globe:

"Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy missed the cut at the Abu Dhabi Championship in the United Arab Emirates Friday, a woeful start to the season for the world’s top two golfers.

Woods missed it after he was penalized two shots for wrongly taking a free drop, while top-ranked McIlroy was frustrated trying to adjust to his new Nike clubs, even though he used his old Titleist putter in the second round. Both finished with 3-over-par 75s."

Tiger Woods Turns 37

The Golf Blog: Happy 37th Birthday, Tiger Woods! | The Golf Blog:

"The Golf Blog says: Tiger Woods turns 37 tomorrow. That means he needs 5 more majors in the next 10 years–assuming he follows Jack Nicklaus’s pattern of obtaining his last major by age 46–in order to beat Jack’s record of 18 majors. With that pace, Tiger needs to win 1 major every 2 years in order to set the all-time record. The pace seems at least within the realm of possibility, if not plausibility."

Champagne Corks - Vision Damage Danger

Eye doctors warn of champagne: You could poke an eye out with that — State — Bangor Daily News — BDN Maine:

"Champagne bottles contain pressure as high as 90 pounds per square inch — more than the pressure found inside a typical car tire,” the academy announcement states, in part. “This pressure can launch a champagne cork at 50 miles per hour as it leaves the bottle, which is fast enough to shatter glass. Unfortunately, this is also fast enough to permanently damage vision.” "

Crooks Use New Device To Open Hotel Locks

This is alarming. Looks like we have to take care of ourselves by using the security chain, and room safe (when they've available).

Rossen Reports: New device lets crooks crack many hotel locks - TODAY News:

"Some insiders are calling it a security crisis at hotels nationwide: A breach, leaving you more vulnerable.
When you lock your hotel door, you assume you're safe and your stuff is safe. Don't be so sure: Thieves have invented a small, simple device that can unlock hotel doors at some of the most popular chains. Some hotels have known about this security problem for months -- so why hasn't it been fixed?"

Tiger Woods Opposed To Belly Putters

I agree. There's no place in golf for belly putters.

Tiger Woods reiterates opposition to belly putters in golf - latimes.com:

""I just believe that the art of putting is swinging the club and controlling nerves," Woods said at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, where the World Challenge tournament that benefits Woods' charities is being played this weekend.

Having one end of the putter at a fixed point, Woods said, "is something that's not in the traditions of the game. We swing all other 13 clubs, I think the putter should be the same.""

"With Barack Obama securing a comfortable-ish victory in the US Presidential Election we at Your Golf Travel are glad to have a golfing president in the White House. After all, who would use the putting green outside of the Oval Office if the non golfing Mitt Romney would have been elected?!

I just read this . . . there's no "need to wash your turkey"

I found this a little surprising . . .

A little bit of Food Safety Advice for Thanksgiving | Marler Blog:

"Step away from the sink, and no one will get hurt:

You don’t need to wash your turkey before you roast it, and doing so can be dangerous. A British study found that washing poultry in the sink can spray bacteria up to 3 feet away. And with one in 50 turkeys estimated to be contaminated with salmonella, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s food-safety inspectors, you don’t want a mist of turkey juice on your relish platter."

7 Rules To Follow When Thinking About Wine And Thanksgiving

7 Rules To Follow When Thinking About Wine And Thanksgiving | Food Republic:

"Every year, it’s the same story: what wine to pair with the Thanksgiving Day meal.

Here’s a newsflash for you: nothing pairs with the Thanksgiving Day meal. Or rather, so many different wines pair with so many different parts of the meal that trying to match one or two to the spread is an exercise in oeno-futility. But you have to drink something, right? "

Adults get nearly as many empty calories from alcohol as sugary drinks | CTV News:

"Soda and other sweetened drinks -- the focus of obesity-fighting public health campaigns -- are the source of about 6 per cent of the calories adults consume, on average. Alcoholic beverages account for about 5 per cent, the new study found.

"We've been focusing on sugar-sweetened beverages. This is something new," said Cynthia Ogden, one of the study's authors. She's an epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which released its findings Thursday."

Steamed Turkey, the Jacques Pépin Way

This sounds like fun!

Steamed Turkey, the Jacques Pépin Way - NYTimes.com:

"The first thing you have to do, if you want to cook a Thanksgiving turkey the way Jacques Pépin thinks you ought to cook it, is to reach way back into your kitchen cabinet and haul out the sort of caldron you might use to steam lobsters. Next, adjust your expectations.

We understand if your first instinct is to resist. But proceeding with his recipe will yield a bird with an incomparable balance of crispness and moistness; we’re talking about white meat so moist that it stays tender even after a few days encased in Tupperware in the fridge."

TORRONTES --- the Next "In" Wine

Here's what the fine folks of Wine-Knows Travel are sharing . . .

Wine-Knows: Fine Wine & Gourmet Food Journeys for the Discerning Traveler:

"The varietal is the new "in" wine.  The New York Times published last year a review of twenty Torrontes that their panel of wine experts had tasted.  Each time I visit a retail wine shop, I notice new producers of Torrontes.  Last month I attended the annual meeting of the Society of Wine Educators and what do you think the seminar speakers from Argentina were touting?   You guessed it...Torrontes. We’re heading to Argentina in March 2013 for the Southern Hemisphere’s harvest…guess what I’ll be drinking!"

Virgin America: Why an Airline That Travelers Love Is Failing

Say it isn't so!

I love Virgin America for direct flights between San Francisco and Fort Lauderdale.

Virgin America is the the best!

Virgin America: Why an Airline That Travelers Love Is Failing | TIME.com:

"Reporting in August, the Chronicle noted that, despite all of its rewards and glowing reviews, since 2007 Virgin America has posted a net loss of $671 million, and an operating loss of $447 million. More recently, Bloomberg News reported that after large net losses in the second quarter of 2012, the airline would be cutting back flights and asking employees to take voluntary work leaves in early 2013."
