it's tuesday. the rain seems to have stopped for now at least here in the big city. good morning, everybody, i'm harry smith. >> good morning, i'm maggie rodriguez. >> the united states and the ryder cup, they were this close to victory yesterday. but among the highlights was a moment when tiger woods was about to chip a ball, the photographer is some distance away. >> look at that shot. both shots. >> well, the photographer's shot was much better than tiger's, let's put it that way. because that ball is supposed to be going over his head, not directly at the camera. we're going to talk to the photographer. >> you mean that was not the plan? not exactly. also ahead this morning, do you remember that famous scene in "when harry met sally" when meg ryan gets very animated and the woman says, i'll have what she's having. there's a new survey this morning that says women fool men a lot more than men realize. so we'll give you the details of that ahead this tuesday morning. first off the top the latest on that heightened terror alert.

u.s. officials now believe that a group of germans and britons are part of a terror cell plotting to strike against european cities. cbs news homeland security correspondent bob orr has been following this for us and he joins us with the latest. bob, good morning. >> good morning, maggie. well, u.s. drone strikes inside pakistan have apparently targeted operatives training for those attacks against europe. sources believe a german terror cell is at the center of the current threats and pakistani officials now say that some of those killed were germans. but u.s. officials caution it's unclear if those killed were connected to the plots and say the threats remain active. security forces throughout europe remain on guard as intelligence officials work to stop attacks against major cities. sources say al qaeda and affiliated terror groups are plotting multiple attacks. likely targeting transit systems, tourist attractions and popular hotels. like those in the 2008 moss kerr in mumbai. officials fear some trained

operatives have already been dispatched but there is no hard, specific information as to timing or targets. >> we're in the middle sequence of this plot where we know it's under way. we know it's been directed by al qaeda. but we don't know when it may be executed, and we don't know who's going to perpetrate it. >> reporter: japan has now echoed an alert from the u.s. state department, warning travelers that much of europe could be a danger zone. german officials have called the warnings alarming. u.s. attorney general eric holder conceded the threat information is vague. but added -- >> we have, i think, sufficient information that justified the issuing of the alert. >> reporter: tourists have heard the warning. >> trying to keep an open view. you know, i keep my eye out. >> reporter: but travelers are not canceling european trips. >> you really can't do anything with these threats. you have to stick to your plans, run your course. otherwise, they win, don't they? >> reporter: now there's still no intelligence connecting the current european threats to any new plots against the united states. but officials say the long-term

desire of al qaeda to hit us again is undiminished. maggie? >> bob orr in washington. thank you, bob. now at 7:03, here's harry. >> all right, maggie, now to politics. the midterm elections four weeks from today. and the candidates are back home, hitting the airwaves with some feisty new campaign ads. cbs news congressional correspondent nancy cordes has the latest. nancy, good morning. >> good morning, harry. and there are a few recent developments that lead democrats to hope that their losses this election season may not be as bad as they had feared. >> this is barbara boxer's california. trillions in reckless, wasteful spending. destroying small business. >> reporter: republicans are pouring $2 million into the california senate race. >> killing jobs. crushing hopes. >> reporter: after polls showed democratic senator barbara boxer reclaiming her lead. >> the pundits have already decided that the democrats are losers. we're going to lose, lose, lose.

there's only one problem with that. the voters haven't voted yet. >> reporter: democratic senator patty murray has also seen a rebound in her numbers. as has democratic candidates for governor in illinois, ohio, and california. >> they're starting to see that around the country, because a lot of democrats held their advertising money until the last couple of months of the election, when people are paying attention the most. >> reporter: democrats used their fund-raising advantage to dominate the airwaves in september. mostly with negative, personal ads. >> appeared on the d.c. madam's phone list. >> reporter: and at least one republican, tea party-backed delaware senate candidate christine o'donnell, has a new ad that directly k458 edges her negative press. >> i'm not a witch. i'm nothing you've heard. i'm you. none of us are perfect. >> reporter: but now that october is here, both sides are unleashing everything they've got. >> would you lie about serving in a war?

>> we have learned something very important today that since i served in vietnam. >> dick blumenthal did. again and again. >> reporter: even the president is entering the ad wars. >> new orleans needs senator bridgeman in congress. >> reporter: mr. obama takes his first spot of the presidential season for a democratic candidate in new orleans. and why did that candidate get the special treatment? because he's from one of only about eight districts around the country where democrats have a realistic shot of winning a seat currently held by the gop. harry? >> nancy cordes in the capitol this morning. thank you very much. joining us now is cbs news political analyst john dickerson. good morning. >> good morning, harry. >> let's talk about some of these senate races that are so tight, so important out there. especially this one in connecticut that nancy was just talking about. who are these people and what's at stake? >> richard blumenthal is the attorney general, longtime politician in connecticut. quite popular. was supposed to have this race in the bag.

linda mcmahon, the ceo of world wrestling entertainment, has been taking the chair to blumenthal. time and again she's called him a liar. on tv we just saw that ad. she's running on her business experience. blumenthal is saying, you know, in government you can protect jobs, too, and that's what i've done. >> and this was a seat that was supposed to be so safe. chr chris dodd has held this in ee termty almost. >> that's exactly right. nobody was expecting linda mcmahon. but she spent a lot of her own money. again she's saying i can make jobs and in this terrible economy that's what people want to hear. >> maybe that really is the thing that makes the difference. hit nevada, if you don't mind. this is a really, really interesting race, too. >> well, harry reid is the biggest target out there. right? an incumbent. the leader of the democrats in the senate. he's in trouble. sharron angle, longtime assembly woman, six years as an assemblywoman, is a tea party candidate and she was recently caught on tape with another tea party candidate eating away at her vote. and she had a private meeting with him, said get out of the race because if you're in the race you're going to take my

votes and give harry reid the win. it's neck and neck right now. >> she's also been bad-mouthing the republican establishment, which makes it so interesting. she is a personification of this battle within the republican party. >> that's right. if you want to behave in private the way you behave out loud, that's what she did. caught on tape saying the republicans have lost their way, they have no principle. awkward, she's in washington raising money with these republicans this week. >> here's another race. all of these senate races i think are particularly interesting. joie manchin, very popular figure as governor. he's in the race of his life. >> another one, democrats thought they were going to win. this is a red state, though. obama lost it by 13 points in 2008. john raese, a businessman running on that, i'm a businessman, not a politician. you don't like politicians, you'll like businessmen, elect me. he's doing well. both parties spending a lot of money in the state. >> this is also robert byrd's seat which is the longest person to hold a senate seat in the history of the country. there's supposed to be almost a gimme for the democrats. >> that's right.

popular guy. longtime serving. but the byrd coattails don't exist anymore. >> so let us look at the senate then and talk about how many seats are really up for grabs, and you can see, here are the democrats in charge. here are the republicans in the minority. how many are we really talki ii about? >> the magic number are ten. there are no republican senate seats certainly in danger. but there are 13 democratic seats in danger. republicans have to take ten of those. they've got about six or seven kind of that they can count on. those last three are quite tough, though, some of these democratic senate seats are looking a little better for democrats. >> all right. and then let's take a look at the house then, too. because this is here i got to undo my drawing, sorry. here is the big blue democratic majority. and the republicans in the minority. what kind of numbers are we talking about here? >> the magic number in the house is 39 seats. republicans to take away from the democrats. they've got about 20, 25 in the

bag, because of history, and because democrats really have seats 239, have seats in republican districts that they really shouldn't have democratic representatives. so about 25. at least about 15 to 20 that republicans have to take away in >> here's what's interesting about it. nancy talked about it in her piece this morning. republicans wanted this election to happen today. yesterday, two weeks ago, because there really does seem to be some of the mojo that they had built up over the last month or two, seems to be eroding a little bit. >> that's right. democrats are coming home. and every democrat will tell you, and even republicans admit this, democrats usually break late in these campaigns, and also congress is off the tv. they're no longer bickering about legislation. congress is quite unpopular. it's leaders, both democrat and republican are unpopular. they're off the tv. that helps democrats, because people are reminded of what they don't like. >> that's a plus 39 by the way. john dickerson, thanks very much. i really appreciate it. erica hill is right over here at the news desk and she has the

rest of this morning's news. >> i could tell that's a 39, harry. good morning to everyone at home. we begin in the southwest, where more severe weather is expected today. yesterday strong winds and heavy rain hit parts of new mexico, arizona and nevada. that rain causing flooding in an area east of las vegas. and in phoenix, severe thunderstorms forced more than 30 airline flights to divert from sky harbor airport. lightning struck a house in mesa, arizona, and this young man was inside. >> and then we went outside, and we were like uh-oh, the roof is on fire! >> an accurate assessment there. the lightning did spark a fire. the good news here, no one was hurt. the federal government is taking a swipe at chris card companies. the justice department suing visa, mastercard, and american express yesterday for alleged anti-competitive practices. justice officials say the companies prevented merchants from offering discounts or rebates for using a particular card.

american express is fighting the suit. visa and mastercard have already settled. in paris this morning, a court found former stock trader jerome karviel guilty in market

wife were jetskiing on a lake that straddles the u.s./mexico border when she says they were ambushed by gunmen. erica hill is here now with the latest. good morning. >> good morning, maggie. there are new questions this morning as to exactly what happened. police in mexico want to know if what tiffany hartley says happened was actually what did happen. there is still no sign of american tourist david hartley. this, four days after he was reportedly shot in the head by suspected pirates. it happened on a lake along the mexican border. >> hello? >> ma'am. okay. are you sure that your husband got shot? >> yes. in his head. >> reporter: his wife tiffany made that desperate 911 call after reportedly racing to his aid. but says she was chased away by gunfire. >> did you see anybody? >> there were three boats. >> reporter: hartley is now presumed dead. his body, though, has not been recovered. and now mexican authorities are questioning whether the attack took place at all.

saying, quote, we are not sure. we are not certain that the incident happened the way that they are telling us. why hartley's body has not been found, especially after they were told he was wearing a life vest. and also, why there's no sign of his jetski. in fact, no physical evidence a crime was committed. security experts say americans traveling to mexico or other potentially dangerous regions should stay alert. >> be aware of what the local conditions are. what the threats are. what you need to know. >> reporter: meantime, in hartley's home town of loveland, colorado, amid the questions there is mourning. >> i assumed david had had an accident. because he likes to go fast. but, then he said no, he was shot. >> reporter: what exactly happened to david hartley remains a mystery. >> tiffany hartley said they were about three miles in the mexican side of the lake when all of this happened. again, the investigation continues this morning. and there are further questions so we'll look for further updates. >> all right, erica, thank you.

tiffany hartley joins us from texas this morning along with david's mother and father, pam and dennis, and his sister niki. my condolences to all of you. thank you so much for taking the time this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you for having us. >> you're welcome. first off, tiffany, i would like to give you the opportunity to respond to these new questions that the district attorney in mexico is raising. he's saying that he's not sure that things happened the way that you claim, because there's no evidence of a shooting, and they would have found david by now because he was wearing a life vest. i know that must be very difficult for you to hear.

tiger woods was in wales, playing for the ryder cup this weekend, even though the americans did not win, he made some amazing shots over the course of the tournament. this one was yesterday. wow. take a look at that, ball runs right in the cup. he played extraordinarily well. but it's one bizarre shot that has a lot of people talking. take a look at this. a miscue, i mean he chunks this ball, leads to tiger's shot heading directly at the photographer. and luckily, the photographer survived the encounter and joins us now to tell us about it in an exclusive interview. and mark pain is that photographer. good morning, sir. >> hi, harry. >> so this was saturday, right? and tiger was in a foursome? >> yes. this was saturday. the middle day of what is the

ryder cup, and he's played his second shot, and there is a lot of water on the 18th at celtic manor. he landed on the side. a big place was made, cleared to have the shot, and us photographers, we knelt down by the spectator seats, and were just waiting for him to normally chip in within two or three inches, but not this time. >> right. and we should explain because of the way that he was shooting, you know, to the green, and was what we would call a chip shot. it was a short shot. and something that was -- the ball, the trajectory of the ball, was to go up like high up in the air, and instead of going high up in the air and over your head, what happened? >> he sort of, normally, you know, 99 times out of 100 or probably with tiger 999 times out of 1,000 he would chip that within two or three inches of

the hole. and when we're working with tiger, we've never had any problems getting that near to him, because we know there's never going to be an issue. but, all the grass had been trampled by the spectators and he just seemed to catch it really wrong, and it digs out to his right, and it just headed straight towards me, hit my camera, then hit me and landed at my feet. >> wow. >> and tiger's face, he couldn't believe it. i think he couldn't believe he'd taken that shot, really. >> there's the second shot. the shot after the ball hits the camera, he's looking like, this is not the way i planned this. yeah. >> his face looks like thunder, doesn't it? he's not happy. >> let me ask you this because as you were setting up, you're kneeling down in front of him, did tiger or his caddie steve williams say anything to you like, you're really too close or you need to move back a little bit? >> they did for a little while, then we all moved back. tiger's caddie steve, he's got a reputation for being very, very strict with us photographers.

you know. but we were all in a perfect passion. the marshals had agreed where we were and everyone was absolutely fine. there was a very wide angle for him to play a shot in towards the green. so, you know, didn't work out. >> how did you have the presence of mind, or did you have the presence or was it just instinct that made you click the shot? >> it's pretty much instinct. because as a photographer it's a great moment there to see tiger amongst the fans so close, and it's great for them, as well, to see it. but you're totally focusing on tiger, his expressions because, once the ball goes past you you still have moments to capture. he can cut away. do whatever he normally does. but you just focus totally on tiger. >> and the camera is okay? you have the camera with you? it didn't break the lens? >> the camera's fine. nikon d3s. it's taken a bit of a knock but it's absolutely perfect. >> and what a story to tell. mark pain, thank you very, very much for sharing your story and showing that spectacular

condoms. but it is very interesting because it found that 85% of men when asked if their partner climaxed during sex believed that they had. but only 64% of women actually had. which means -- >> or said they had. >> right, said they had. 21% of men have been misled. >> isn't this the whole thing about lying we were talking about the other day. >> does this surprise, anybody? >> no. no. in all honesty, if you think about in popular culture how often this particular subject is brought up and this is always sort of the punch line to the joke. oh, she was faking it. >> right. >> well, as they say, sometimes stereotypes joke they're based in reality. >> why would women lie? >> that's the bigger question? >> why would women -- >> to make the man feel good. because the man feels like a man. >> right. >> if the woman says that. >> i don't -- >> but i think it does highlight a problem in marriages. why don't you feel comfortable

enough in your marriage to just say, that's not really working for me. >> you're inadequate, darling. >> no! see that's the way -- >> something you could address more in a marriage than you could, perhaps, in a relationship where you're not quite at that point yet. >> yes, true. anyway. 6,000 people were surveyed and the reason they included 14-year-olds is because they also studied condom use, and teenagers who are having sex are having safe sex, the majority of them. so parents, now you're aware. >> don't lie. we'll be right back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. ,,,,

resistance, heart disease, really goes up as our waistline goes up. recent study done out of the mayo clinic, however, was kind of interesting. they compared where people gained weight, where they gained fat and actually found that those who gained fat on their lower bodies, specifically in their thighs, and we're talking men and women, may, get ready, may actually have some protective factors against those obesity complications. we're not trying to imply that you want to set out to gain weight around your legs. but it is an area that we'll be seeing more research in. definitely you want to stay away from gaining weight in your midsection. >> and isn't it true that the more belly fat you have the greater the chance it's between your argons? >> exactly. and when we do c.a.t. scans and look at the organs in our body you can see fat between these organs called visceral fat. and that is really dangerous to your health. >> fact or fiction, you can spot reduce fat? absolutely not because i've been trying to get rid of this post-pregnancy pooch and it's

not happening. >> most people today know this. but in the past people really did think you could spot reduce. that was the term. but most people also know that everyone is individual. where they lose weight tends to be characteristic for them. a lot of people will lose it in their face first and the thing is we're not doing crunches or face exercises. so, bottom line, you want to lose weight gradually throughout your entire body, with individual differences taken into account. some people may gain it or lose it faster in their legs. but definitely cannot spot reduce. >> okay. fact or fiction, number three. sleep loss can limit fat loss. well this one i confess i saw the study out today which confirms i already knew because we on this schedule. it's absolutely true. >> exactly. we have been hearing a lot more about this. not only does america have an obesity problem, america also has a sleep problem. so this study really looked at people who got more or less than 8 1/2 hours of sleep. that was kind of their target number. and those who got less than 8 1/2 hours of sleep a night were hungrier during the day,

and lost 40% or more fat -- sorry, maggie. 40% or more muscle mass, which is a problem. because when you want to lose weight you want to keep your lean muscle mass. so it really works two ways. you'll be hungrier during the day and you'll actually limit your fat loss. and lose muscle. big problem. >> but does anyone realistically get eight hours of sleep anymore? >> i do. >> you do? >> but that's because i go to bed at 9:00. everything is a tradeoff. sleep is critically important. it does stimulate the hunger hormone during the day. so you really, when you're dieting, you want to diet, exercise, and sleep. >> yeah. in a perfect world. >> exactly. >> all right let's get to the next question. fact or fiction. you can work off a month of bad eating. a lot of people with the holidays coming up with just going to be eating very poorly around thanksgiving and christmas. i'm going to say fact. >> you actually cannot work off a month of bad eating, maggie. sorry. now very important and i want to emphasize this. it's never too late to reverse bad habits or damage from let's

say a month or two months of bad eating and no exercise. but this study actually found that the damage done in our bodies, in our fat cells, persists even up to months or years after you had that bad month. so really, it's day-to-day, it's hour-to-hour, it's meal-to-meal, and you want to have those good habits in place, all of that time. >> dr. jennifer ashton, really, really good stuff. thank you. coming up next, the deadly danger facing your kids on the soccer field. important information that all parents need to know when we come back. this is the "early" show on cbs. >> cbs 489 hlt sponsored by prevacid 24 hour. eaeaeaeaeaeaks.

more than 14 million kids of all ages play organized soccer in this country. but there is a serious safety hazard on the field that could be putting them at risk. "early" show consumer correspondent susan koeppen is here with an important warning for parents. >> good morning, harry. the problem is with portable goals. there are half a million of them being used today. they can weigh up to 400 pounds. and if they aren't secured properly, they can tip over. >> he loved soccer. he was awesome on the field. >> reporter: 10-year-old hayden ellias was a star soccer player. but during a game playing goalie, something went terribly wrong. >> we could see him laying lieless on the ground with the goal on top of him. >> yes, my son is in a goal down at millbrook high school and he is down. >> what's wrong with him?

>> a goal has fallen on him. >> what fell on him? >> a goal. >> i knew it was bad. >> reporter: somehow, the goal had tipped over, crushing hayden. he was pronounced dead at the hospital. >> i really at the time thought it was a freak accident. i was calling it a freak accident. but it's not a freak accident. >> reporter: according to the consumer product safety commission, 34 children have been killed by soccer goal tipovers since 1979. 200 kids are injured every year. >> it's something that can happen -- >> in an instant. >> reporter: kevin kaye is a certified soccer referee. he showed me just how easily a soccer goal can tip. >> you think i can be able to push this over? >> absolutely. >> oh, yeah, there it goes. wow. and i didn't push that very hard at all. soccer goals, which are heaviest in the front, can sometimes tip over without warning. in other cases, they tip when kids swing on them. these are videos we found on

youtube. of teens doing just that. to protect players, goals are supposed to be weighted down. with sandbags or held down with stakes. so the bags are on, it's weighted down. you can actually hang from this and it won't tip over? >> that's correct. and if i put weight on the front of this goal you'll see it's not going to go. it's not going to swing. >> reporter: kaye says referees are required to check goals before every game. >> check the goal for sturdyness. >> reporter: to make sure they're properly secured. so if you don't see any of these things holding down a goal. what should happen? >> either find an option to weight that goal down, or no game. >> reporter: as for mary ellias, after her son died in 2007, she started a website called hayden's goal. to educate parents on how they can keep their kids safe on the field. >> i promised hayden his death would not be in vain. because nobody else should have horrible memories. >> and mary has other children

who play soccer. she and her family, they always which sandbags with them to games, in case they encounter unanchored goals. harry? >> i would say, especially at practices, parents, how can they get involved and make sure their kids stay safe? >> if you're taking your child to the field, and whether it's a practice, scrimmage game, whatever, do your own survey. walk around the goal and take a look. you may feel like you're being dramatic, but your kid's safety is at risk here. and you're a certified soccer referee. i know that you do that. you walk around. >> any time you get ready to ref a game, you survey the entire field. the most important thing to do is go to those goals, and as the ref in your piece said, if that is not secured properly, you don't start the game. >> we found the videos on youtube of the kids hanging on the goals and they're laughing as they tip over. but i've seen cases where, in hayden's case, he died. i've seen kids with broken legs, have had serious contusions. so it's a really serious matter. >> it looked like, just as a

point of fact, especially with those more portable types of goals, just how easy was it? >> it was not hard at all. i mean, i was actually surprised how easy it was to tip over that goal. i used two fingers, and just one gentle push, and the thing tipped over. and that was a pretty substantial goal. for an indoor soccer field, but it was pretty big. >> all right. these are things that parents really need to keep in mind. and you know, there's not always a ref. and there's not necessarily always a certified coach out there. when i got my ref certification, the most important part, along with the laws of the game, was safety certification, and we're not allowed to go out there without certification. >> take matters as a parent into your own hands. you're putting your kids out on the field. you want to make sure they're safe. do a quick survey. >> susan koeppen as always, thank you so much. for more on soccer safety all you need to do is go to our website, that's earlyshow.cbsnews.com. and still ahead on "the early show," the social network is

this sort of window in. for both of you -- >> that's a compliment. >> well it seemed to be the truth to me. both of you guys play real people. how do you prepare to play mark zuckerberg? >> a few ways. the first is to go off this wonderful script that aaron sorkin wrote this incredible script and created these amazing characters who, like you said, are based on real people. in addition to using his scripts there's countless videos and interviews with mark zuckerberg. he's a very public person. >> so you looked at that? >> i watched everything i could find, of course. >> you play sean parker who famously or infamously created napster and had a very interesting life thereafter. >> sure. >> is that him or is that an amalgam of people you've met in an interesting business life? >> you mean, in performance of the character? >> yeah. >> i -- i kind of boringly mirror what jesse had to say

about how this kind of played out. i think it's important to point out that aaron sorkin, who is not only dazzles you with his dialogue, his research on these people was overwhelmingly accurate. and he spent a lot of time -- >> there's a certain sort of smarm factor to your character. >> i don't want to pretend that i know who this person really is. because i've never spent time with him. >> right. >> that would be irresponsible as a human being to assume. >> sure. >> i can tell you that what i found in the film was a lot of tasty things to play with in the character for sure. >> you do smarm well. >> i will -- >> take that as a compliment. >> my mother will be very proud that you said that on national television. >> on and off-screen, really. >> it is all the same. >> as you exhibited, as you looked at so much that's been written about it just in the last couple of weeks and even

months, what is it like to be in the middle of -- of this phenomenon? >> i feel like any time you work on a movie you kind of think it's the greatest thing in the world. and then it comes out and the audience tells you otherwise. you know. this has been kind of the next experience where you feel pride doing it is kind of shared by the audience. that's really a nice experience. >> do either of you know, really, anything about a social network, or i can't imagine either of you are actually on facebook? >> we don't personally. >> have you looked over somebody's shoulder to see what it's like? >> yeah, but they were like hunched over and i couldn't see. >> yeah. >> literally this close. >> you also have, going back to aaron sorkin, this script is like kind of on fire brilliant and some of the great, the lines that both of you get to deliver, you don't get to deliver them in very many movies very often. >> forever. >> as the case may be.

>> yeah. >> the other thing that is, along with this being such an important sort of conversation, that it's engendered in the culture, is, you know, it's created this sort of deafening oscar buzz. what is it like to try to think in the midst of the deafening oscar buzz? >> very awkward and uncomfortable. >> well, i don't know if it's possible to like speculate, you know, what awards it might, you know, kind of receive. but we're just happy that the reaction is really nice to the movie. >> yeah, yeah. it is -- it's what i said at the very beginning. it's like an almost like a gangster film but it takes place -- i mean there's so much energy in it, i guess. >> i think it helps. i think it helps that you have such a masterful filmmaker, you know, behind it and sort of pulling the strings on it.

greenberg is here with the details. good morning. >> good morning, maggie. >> so these deals are a perfect ten, would you say? >> but you've got to put them in some historical perspective. let's go back to july 7th of '07, 7-7-7, that was a lucky day. and more people get married or engaged on that day. the travel industry took note of that. three times more than on a normal day and there were a lot of wedding promotions around that. so now 10-10-10 a wonderful opportunity move unsold inventory. it's a nice gimmick. >> ah. that's what i'm going to say. who cares if it's a gimmick if i'm really going to save money. >> that's right. >> is there one, i know you've been doing a lot of these. the number one deal to be had? >> well, it's actually in the turks and caicos. it's a hotel called the tuscan. >> what day of the week is that? >> sunday. you can book it between now and then but it's good for a long period of time until about december 23rd. they'll give you an airfare credit of up to $1,010.10 for whatever you paid to get down there. that's a great deal. >> that is a great deal.

you also found some great hotel deals that don't include the travel. just accommodations. >> that's right. if you stay at a number of marriott or renaissance hotels in the caribbean or mexico you pay the regular rate for one night, each succeeding night, ten bucks. not bad. if you're in the renaissance -- >> are they jacking up the first night's price? >> no, it's the regular rate. but you advertise it, the regular rate is $215 plus $10, now it's just $108 so not bad. right here in new jersey they've got a deal called triple tens. this is for people who are really feeling lucky. >> it's a casino. >> you stay on the tenth floor, and they give you about $310.10 deals with discounts on manicures and pedicures. but your gaming losses are your gaming losses. >> right. >> and then, in belize, there's an interesting one there $110 a night for the room there. but that's also good through next year to march 31st. you've got to book it now. but it extends. >> that's smart. >> if you want to upgrade that

is $1,10.10. that number just keeps coming back. and the coolest one, though, is on the website cheapcaribbean.com. they've got a deal in the dominican republic, $10 a night all-inclusive. >> have you seen this place? >> it's really nice. it includes the room. >> okay. fantastic. a lot of people are jump on that. all right you created a sort of a grab bag of the best deals out there. there's one in st. martin, 10% discounts. there's a crazy one -- >> this is a 10% discount on the wedding package? >> it's good until november 10th. so if you think fast. >> all right. >> i said it was a gimmick. hotel victor, they're doing a facebook deal, right, they're going to try to get 10,000 fans. when they get to the 10,000th fan, if you're that person, you get ten free nights. but this is the one, you want a silly one? >> yeah. >> coco key water parks. if you're celebrating your 10th birthday or your 100th birthday

they give you free admission. if i live to be 100, i'm not going to a water park, i'm sorry. >> why not, peter? >> it will be the final slide. that's it, good-bye, done. >> perhaps. >> but the 10-year-olds will -- >> exactly. >> will take advantage of that one. are there deals to be had every time of year? things that you should be asking for regardless of the date? >> regardless of the date, here's what you need to do. advertising point is only a departure point. ask, can my kids stay free. can my kids eat free? and in urban hotels or resorts will they throw in free parking. it's a huge deal. remember an unsold room is revenue they'll never recoup when the sun rises. ask and guaranteed. can my kids stay free, eat free, and throw in free parking. >> awesome. thank you, peter. thanks, maggie. the american kitchen was a very different place back in the 1890s when fannie farmer wrote the best-selling cookbook of that period. now christopher kimball has

explored her work in his new book, "fannie's last supper." using the ingredients and techniques of the victorian age to recreate the finest dushs of that time. he's here to share some of his favorite recipes from the book. chris, good to see you, man. >> pleasure to see you. >> talk a little bit about fannie farmer and what a giant figure looming figure she was in the cooking world of her time. >> she took over the boston cooking school in the early 1890s. she never went to college. that was the only thing she could do as a profession. and she took mary lincoln's boston cooking cool cookbook, revised it, updated it, in 1896 said i'll put up $3,000, i'll fund the book, so she retained the rights. and it took off. >> it was best-seller year ap year. >> 400,000 copies by her death. >> so what gave you the idea to go back 100 years in time, or more, and say let's try and make a meal, a great meal out of her cookbook?

>> well, the concept of the time was she traveled back in time. you can read the newspapers like the boston globe cookbook. you just read a cookbook you don't get it. you've got to cook it. her house in boston, we got a big old coal cook stove, 57 inch stove, we cooked everything on a coal cook stove. >> just as you would have cooked it back in the day. >> we made our own gel itten. >> that's why they call it mock turtle. >> right. so we did everything from scratch. made our own puff pastry. these go back to roman times. >> i've read the book and i think you may have struggled with the rizoles more than anything, trying to find the exact way to do it. >> if you've actually done puff pastry from scratch in a hot kitchen with a big stove. it takes a long time. to get them to fry up right and serve them. we had 12 people come to dinner. we had to serve dozens and dozens and get them at the right time. it was really a challenge. here's the deal with fannie farmer. she was a business woman first. very smart. she realized that wealthy

bostonians would pay a lot of money to get fancy recipes. so she stepped up the food. it was like french cooking. but our culinary history is really english. they did soups, jellies. that's what she was good at. vegetable sauces. you know. >> what is this? >> this is a vinaigrette. one of the things we did was salmon. salmon at the time came from oregon. they had refrigerated rail cars. people liked salmon. also this was a time of convenience. people were eating canned foods, as well. they canned fruits, canned vegetables. victorians spent seven hours a day cooking and cleaning. >> amazing to think about. >> they loved convenience. aunt jemima pancake mix came around, jars and canned foods came around, victorians go this is great. everything you see today started back in the 1890s. we converted from scratch to praep. >> regular old vinaigrette, right? >> with some capers. we had salmon fillets here which we'll start. we did this on the cook stove.

we had to grill. we cooked them inside. >> right. >> i've been in your house. and i know that you've turned this book into a pbs special, which will air on a lot of pbs stations in november. and what was the impetus, you filled this stove with wood, what was the temperature in the stove? >> we had an air conditioner, one air conditioner. it was 95 degrees by the air conditioners, about 120, to 130. you can see the faces were red. >> oh, my gosh. >> we overcooked. we got the stove up to 800 degrees at one time. >> can you imagine? >> we had a little problem. >> well, we were trying to recreate this real-life episode of the times. >> meares what's interesting. back in that time, a 12 course meal was not unusual. the middle class had money, the industrial revolution. women wanted to be creative in their homes. it wasn't just for the rich. so they actually sat down for three or four hours and ate 12 course meals. as you did. >> just every single night of my life. so the salmon get done. what do they end up like? >> they end up like this. we have the vinaigrette on top

of it. again they're cooked very quickly. this is actually something, you know, about the 1900, fannie farmer, when he did fish he would do it like this with a vinaigrette. we borrowed a little bit from him. >> right, right. the other thing that's interesting about the book is it really took you a year to go through and test all of these recipes, and in order to get them edible for common -- >> well, i've got to be honest. some 6 those recipes from the original 1890s, they need a little help. a lot of help. so we had to go in and make them 30 or 40 times. it was rough. >> okay. >> going to try this. >> this is orange. we did a lot of day-to-day recipes. they did a lot of these jellies. orange juice, sugar, a little hot water, gelatin, and told egg whites into the mixture and let it set up. >> there's a whole section about punch in all these different -- >> they love punch. you like punch, too, as i remember. harry loves punch, everybody. i just want you to know. >> hmm. >> and so they love jellies,

they did a lot of very elaborate jellies, different colors, different flavors. so it was extremely elaborate. >> i'll tell you what, the cookbook is a great read because it's almost like a mystery. it's about time travel and it's also phenomenal history. you are a scholar and then some. it's a great read and a great writer. >> can you say gentleman, too? >> we thought we'd leave that out for the time being. christopher kimball, as always, a pleasure to see you. for these recipes and more go to our website at earlyshow.cbsnews.com. we'll be right back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. fiber one chewy bar.
