Three films- historical drama “12 Years a Slave,” space thriller “Gravity” and crime caper “American Hustle”-are all frontrunners for the coveted best picture prize to be handed out on March 2. In the acting categories, Cate Blanchett leads the pack for her turn in Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine” while Matthew McConaughey is widely tipped for his portrayal of homophobic AIDS activist Ron Woodroof in “Dallas Buyers Club.” For supporting cast, Jared Leto’s role as Woodroof’s unlikely transsexual busi- ness partner has put him ahead of the field, while Lupita Nyong’o could take home a statuette for her big-screen debut in “12 Years a Slave.” But all bets File photo shows Oscar host Ellen DeGeneres opens the 79th Academy File photo shows from left, Bono, Larry Mullen, Jr, The Edge and Adam Clayton, of are off for the big prize of the night, the Awards telecast, in Los Angeles. —AP the Irish band U2, winners of the award for best original song for “Ordinary Love” winner of which will be announced at from the film “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom,” arrive at The Weinstein Company’s the end of the 86th Academy Awards Golden Globes after party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. —AP ceremony hosted by US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.

  • Bierhall “A Little of Austria, a Lot of Vermont” ®
    Brewing Bierhall “A little of Austria, a lot of Vermont” ® The History of the von Trapp Family The Story Behind the Story After fleeing Austria in 1938, our family toured the world as the Trapp Family Singers. The mountains of Vermont were reminiscent of Austria, and we bought our hilltop farm here in 1942. In 1950 we began hosting skiers during the winter, and the family home evolved into the Trapp Family Lodge. In the late 1960s I returned to manage the hotel with my mother Maria. We created the first commercial cross-country ski resort in the Americas in 1968, and began adding to the family's land holdings. After a fire destroyed the original Lodge in 1980, we built the new hotel, re-opening in 1983. Today the Trapp Family Lodge has 2,500 acres that provide world- class cross country skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and serenity in one of the most beautiful locations in Vermont. Our resort is still owned and managed by my children and me. For decades I dreamed of brewing crisp, clean craft lagers like the ones we tasted on trips back to Austria. In 2010, we opened our first humble brewery in a retrofitted bakery, and the response to our beer was tremendous. We built a new innovative brewery, with a Rolec brewhouse from Bavaria, and now distribute our beer throughout the northeast. Our beers have won multiple awards, and have helped drive the return of craft-brewed lagers in the United States. We hope you enjoy our beer, and your experience here at the Trapp Family Lodge.

  • Von Trapp® Brewing
    von Trapp® Brewing “A little of Austria, a lot of Vermont”™ By the family that inspired “The Sound of Music” About Our Lagers Johannes von Trapp always loved the crisp, clean, locally brewed lagers that he found in small towns in Austria. All of our lagers are brewed here at the Trapp Family Lodge, using our own water from an artesian spring high up in our mountains. Brewmaster JP Williams uses traditional Austrian brewing techniques such as “de-coction” and “step-mashing” to increase the complexity of the flavor profile. In our new state-of-the-art Brewery we follow the Reinsheitsgebot - the German Law of Purity of Brewing. No adjuncts, no substitutes, no marketing hype... just beer the way it’s meant to be. Pint $4.95 Flight $6.98 John Patrick Williams, Brewmaster Stowe, Vermont vonTrappBrewing.com (802) 253-0900 Golden Helles Our lightest offering, “Helles” is German for “bright.” It is golden in color, and is a crisp, easy drinking beer for all occasions: a true session lager. It is our only filtered lager. 4.9 ABV 20 IBU Bohemian Pilsner Our award winning Bohemian Pilsner is light straw to golden in color. A touch of Munich malt is added to give the beer a sweet caramel finish. We use Saaz and Perle hops, providing a predominantly peppery bitterness and spicy floral aroma. 5.4 ABV 42 IBU Vienna Style von Trapp Brewing’s Vienna lager is brewed with Munich, Pilsner and Vienna malts adding depth to its amber color. Subtle hops, crisp, with residual sweetness. 5.2 ABV 33 IBU Dunkel Our Dunkel, meaning dark in German, boasts brilliant crimson hues from the large amounts of Munich malts which creates a fuller-bodied beer.

Celebrities are different from us in many ways, but there is one thing that celebrities and the rest of us undoubtedly have in common: social media. On social media, not even celebrities are protected from lawsuits. There have been several cases in recent years where celebrities have been sued for posting a photo of themselves on their social media pages. While it may be the celebrity’s face and body in the picture, most of the time the photo is owned by the paparazzi who took the picture (or the paparazzi’s employer). And when the celebrity posts the photo, well, that just gives the photographer an extra way to make some money. This article reviews the right of publicity, its crossover with copyright law, and the implications of using photos—even if you are the main subject—on social media. Most of the time, we hear about celebrities suing others over the use of their pictures, such as when a celebrity’s picture is used in an advertising campaign without the celebrity’s permission. Here, we will be talking about situations where the celebrity is the one getting sued.

  • Self-Guided Tours
    Self-Guided Tours CHAPEL HIKE – 1 MILE ROUND TRIP Enjoy a short (but steep) hike/snowshoe to the chapel that Werner von Trapp and other members of the family built. From the Outdoor Center head to the Fox Track trail and hike up approximately 1/10th of a mile to the start of the Chapel Trail on the right. The trail then has a few switchbacks and gets a bit steeper just before you reach the Chapel. You may go inside the Chapel and write a prayer or ring the bell that sits upon the top of the Chapel. The shortest route back to the Trapp Family Lodge is straight down the hill opposite the entrance to the Chapel. History of the Chapel Werner von Trapp and his brother Rupert joined the U.S. Army 10th Mountain Division in 1943 in the middle of WWII. This was an elite unit of mountaineers and skiers that was deployed to Europe to fight the Germans and Axis Powers in WWII. There was a battle that took place in the mountains of Italy that Werner did not think he would survive. Werner made a promise to God that if he made it through the war alive that upon returning home he would build a Chapel to God. Werner survived with his brother Rupert and in 1946 started hauling stone up the hill behind the Lodge. It took Werner over 4 years to complete the Chapel. The oldest surviving of the singing children is Rosemarie von Trapp, who is now 91 years old. She lives in Stowe Village and in the Summer hikes up to the Chapel to collect the prayers that people leave behind.

    INTERVIEW 29 EDGE ate is a cruel mistress, especially in the entertainment industry. Reaching the top, inte rview F even for a moment, is a longshot at best. Staying on top is a near impossibility. In the world of rap 50 Cent music, this is especially true. Which is what makes Curtis Jackson, better known as 50 Cent , someone worth talking to. He has used his top-selling albums as a springboard to do well in a number of other businesses—consumer electronics, energy drinks, boxing promotion and movie-making, to name four—and more importantly, to do a lot of good . EDGE’s Tetiana Anderson connected with 50 Cent at a technology trade show in Berlin, where he was promoting SMS Audio’s newest headphones. In a wide-ranging Q&A, she discovered a three-dimensional thinker with the drive and vision to redefine what a celebrity can (and should) be.
