In selecting stories we often consider the past exposure of people to our readers. For example, a search of our online archives since 1999 shows "Harrop" appearing in 455 articles. "Fieri" appears once, that being in the 2009 obituary of his grandmother, Betty Lee Ramsay Ferry, who came to McMinnville late in life and whose name also appeared in our newspaper only that one time.
I have no doubt that, as you say, she was an "incredibly awesome lady," and perhaps we should have written about her years ago.
As an interesting aside, Mrs. Ferry's daughter and son-in-law, Jane and Bill Apel, both retired long-time local educators, have been close to Kent and Tricia Harrop over the years, and I suspect they would share in thinking the goodbye story about them was deserved.
Really? I mean, really?
I suppose it's possible that RainD is very young, and thinks she has the pulse of the community in her hands because she's connected to social media, but this should be a wake-up call to her that she needs to lift her head up a little more and pay closer attention to what's actually going on around her.

The 30 Most Anticipated Movies of 2013
The slate of cinema releases in 2012 was widely considered to be an upgrade over the offerings of 2011. Many believe we can expect more of the same in 2013. Only two of the top 10 grossing films this past year (4 of top 20) were original works that weren't sequels, prequels, remakes, reboots or adaptations. Looking ahead at '13′s tentative release chart, we see more of the same. That's not to say we're not excited about the potential of tried-and-true storylines and characters — it's just human nature to gravitate towards the familiar. However, we're hungering for some unknown originals to surprise us. That said, here are the titles that most piqued our interest.
Gangster Squad
Release Date: 1/11/13
Studio: Warner Bros.
Genre: Crime, Action
Starring:Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Robert Patrick, Michael Pena, Giovanni Ribisi, Anthony Mackie, Nick Nolte
A select group of LAPD officers and detectives must protect the law by breaking it as they try to keep East Coast Mafia types out of Los Angeles in the 1940s and 50s. Honestly, I think everyone's just itching to see more of Gosling seducing the pantaloons off Emma Stone again. Crazy Stupid Love was just the tip of the iceberg — this time they turn the sex appeal up a jillion.
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters
Release Date: 1/25/13
Studio: Paramount
Genre: Fantasy, Action
Starring: Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton, Zoe Bell, Famke Janssen
Fifteen years after the traumatic incident at a gingerbread house, the siblings Hansel and Gretel have grown into vengeful bounty hunters dedicated to exterminating witches. They're recruited to rid a town and surrounding area of an evil sorceress who is planning to sacrifice many local children but the local sheriff poses a problem.
This was on a load of most anticipated lists of 2012, however the release date kept getting pushed back. Not a good sign. Also take into consideration that it's now opening in January, a month in which most studios dump their less-than-stellar titles, and you can sense our hesitation.
John Dies at the End
Release Date: 1/25/13
Studio: Magnolia Magnet
Genre: Horror, Comedy
Starring: Chase Williamson, Rob Mayes, Paul Giamatti, Clancy Brown
I recently just finished reading the book this flick is based upon knowing full well the adaptation was in production. I'd like to think I'm an imaginative dude but my creative lobe experienced overload at the possibilities for the big screen. I love the casting and barring some kind of freak occurrence at the box office, we can expect a sequel.
A Good Day to Die Hard
Release Date: 2/14/13
Studio: Fox
Genre: Action
Starring: Bruce Willis, Cole Hauser, Anne V., Mary Elizabeth Winstead
John McClane travels to Moscow to help out his son but gets caught up in a terrorist plot involving the circumstances behind his son's arrest.
This is one franchise that refuses to die and I'm totally okay with that as long as they keep bringing the ridiculous stunts like the jet fighter sequence from Live Free of Die Hard.
21 And Over
Release Date: 3/1/13
Studio: Relativity Media
Genre: Comedy
Starring: Miles Teller, Justin Chon, Skylar Astin, Sarah Wright
A straight-A student celebrates his 21st birthday with his two best friends before his interview for medical school the next morning. Think of it as Project X meets The Hangover with a little Harold and Kumar mixed in. While X was, to a certain extent, disappointing, the out of control party theme will never cease to catch my currency.
Jack the Giant Slayer
Release Date: 3/1/13
Studio: Warner Bros New Line
Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy
Starring: Nicholas Hoult, Stanley Tucci, Ewan McGregor, Ian McShane
Based on Jack and the Beanstalk, this tale follows a young farmhand who unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of legendary giants who strive to reclaim the land they once lost. So, he's gotta do battle and impress the princess. This was another title that was supposed to see the light of day in '12 but was delayed. Better safe than sorry. Hopefully, the extra time taken won't go for naught. I fully expect double entendre pick up lines about beanstalks once this hits theaters.
Oz: The Great and Powerful
Release Date: 3/8/13
Studio: Disney
Genre: Fantasy, Adventure
Starring: James Franco, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz
A small-time circus magician with dubious ethics is transported from Kansas to the Land of Oz where he meets three witches. He must use his "sorcery" to find out who's good and who's evil before it's too late. Sort of like Santa Claus on a mission to diffuse a bomb. You could put Mila Kunis in a 5-hour period drama about forlorn facial expressions and long-form poetry and I'd watch it.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation
Release Date: 3/29/13
Studio: Paramount
Genre: Action
Starring: Channing Tatum, Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Adrianne Palicki, Ray Stevenson, RZA
The G.I. Joe force wages war on Zartan, Storm Shadow and Firefly, all serving under the newly released Cobra Commander, but they're framed as traitors to the U.S. and mostly exterminated. With the world leaders under Cobra's control, advanced warheads are aimed at innocent populaces around the world. Pretty run of the mill evil plot, but what gets my inner solider to stand at attention are the additions of Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis, with Bruce playing the original G.I. Joe.
Evil Dead
Release Date: 4/12/13
Studio: Sony TriStar
Genre: Horror
Starring: Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Elizabeth Blackmore, Jessica Lucas
This remake of the 1981 cult-hit horror film follows five friends who hole up inside a remote cabin. where they discover a mysterious book that unwittingly summons dormant demons living in the nearby woods. There are two camps clamoring about this release – the ones who want the studios to leave well enough alone (why mess with perfection) and those who are psyched out of their gords for a modern retelling. I tend to side with the don't-fuss faction; part of what made the original such a hit was its unique, campy cinematography. What will today's special effects lend to the story that will improve upon its predecessor? Won't it lose its appeal?
Release Date: 4/12/13
Studio: Universal
Genre: Sci-Fi, Action
Starring: Tom Cruise, Olga Kurylenko, Morgan Freeman, Melissa Leo
One of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth is tasked with extracting vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs. It's business as usual until he rescues an attractive female stranger from a downed spacecraft.
It'll be interesting to see how this compares to Will Smith's post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller. Tom might be a creepster in real life, but nobody can pull off what-the-fudgecicle-is-going-on quite like him. Is his routine getting old? Maybe, but I smell a really cool twist in this one that plays upon the audience's familiarity factor with him.
Iron Man 3
Release Date: 5/3/13
Studio: Disney
Genre: Action
Starring: Robert Downey, Jr., Ben Kingsley, Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow, Guy Pearce, Jon Favreau, Paul Bettany
Tony Stark faces the Mandarin as he embarks on a quest to find those responsible for destroying his private world.
Rumor has it this won't be a serious movie, however judging by the trailer it looks pretty grim. Iron Man 2 was uneven and didn't really fulfill on the promise of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash but did give us a glimpse of War Machine and Black Widow. Franchises have a tendency of bouncing back in the third installment, so we should get balls-to-the-wall fireworks from start to finish.
The Great Gatsby
Release Date: 5/10/13
Studio: Warner Bros.
Genre: Drama, Romance
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Carey Mulligan, Isla Fisher
A Midwesterner now living on Long Island is drawn in by his neighbor's mysterious past and lavish lifestyle only to witness to obsession and tragedy.
Leo's awesome in everything and the Mulligan-Fisher combo should tide you over during down moments. Should be the go-to date movie of the year.
Star Trek Into Darkness
Release Date: 5/17/13
Studio: Paramount
Genre: Sci-Fi, Action
Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, Simon Pegg, Alice Eve, Peter Weller, Benedict Cumberbatch
After being called back home, the crew of the Enterprise find a seemingly unstoppable force which has attacked Starfleet and left the planet in chaos. Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise are tasked with leading the deadly manhunt to capture the party responsible and settle an old score.
Rumor has it Khan's the figure behind the attacks. Of all the elements to get pumped about seeing/hearing Chris Pine yell, 'Khaaaaaan!' might just outdo seeing Zoe Saldana go to town on Spock.
The Hangover Part III
Release Date: 5/24/13
Studio: Warner Bros
Genre: Comedy
Starring: Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, Ken Jeong, Mike Epps, Mike Tyson, Heather Graham, John Goodman, Justin Bartha, Jeffrey Tambor, Jamie Chung
This time, there's no wedding. No bachelor party. Alan goes through a crisis after the death of his father and a bad guy from the first movie comes back to haunt them. I'm all for bringing back characters to tie up loose ends. Despite carbon copying the formulaic template of the first one, I enjoyed part II, but fans are definitely happy to know that this installment will take a different path. So far, it seems the stakes are higher – hopefully the jokes aren't sacrificed in the process.
After Earth
Release Date: 6/7/13
Studio: Sony Columbia
Genre: Sci-Fi, Action
Starring: Jaden Smith, Will Smith, Isabelle Fuhrman, Zoe Kravitz
A crash landing leaves a teenager and his legendary father stranded on Earth, 1,000 years after cataclysmic events forced humanity's escape. With his dad critically injured, the teen must embark on a journey to signal for help, facing evolved animal species and an unstoppable alien creature along the way.
The synopsis seems a bit more straightforward than the cryptic one provided for Oblivion. Even though he's appeared in a handful of films, this could be Jaden's breakout performance.
Man of Steel
Release Date: 6/14/13
Studio: Warner Bros
Genre: Action, Adventure
Starring: Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Russell Crowe, Laurence Fishburne
By all accounts, Superman Returns was a letdown. Sucks to be Brandon Routh, right? It seems Hollywood wastes no time in trying to wipe everyone's memory of disappointments so here we are seven years later with another Superman release. This time, though, it looks like the studio got it right. Will it be more like Nolan's interpretation of Batman or Ang Lee's vision of The Hulk?
This Is The End
Release Date: 6/14/13
Studio: Sony Columbia
Genre: Comedy
Starring: Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, James Franco, Craig Robinson, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Emma Watson, Jason Segel, Paul Rudd, Michael Cera, Rihanna, Kevin Hart, David Krumholtz, Mindy Kaling, Aziz Ansari
After a series of cataclysmic events ravage Los Angeles, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson must face the true meaning of friendship and redemption as the world ends around them.
By now, everyone's pretty much had their fill of apocalypse, but, for some reason, this production doesn't feel like overkill. The most popular comic actors in the game playing themselves — taking and giving digs and wisecracks while their life of luxury is torn asunder? Sure, I'll fund their coke habit to watch.
World War Z
Release Date: 6/21/13
Studio: Paramount
Genre: Action, Horror, Thriller
Starring: Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, James Badge Dale, Daniella Kertesz, Matthew Fox, David Morse
A UN employee travels the world trying to find a way to stop the zombie pandemic that is defeating armies and collapsing governments.
Like a couple other titles on this list, Z has experienced a failure to launch. Apparently, Brad Pitt had some issues with the crew and readers of the book have already voiced their displeasure with the notable differences exhibited in the trailer. Then again, are bookworms ever pleased with the adaptation?
Kick-Ass 2
Release Date: 6/28/13
Studio: Universal
Genre: Action, Comedy
Starring: Aaron Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, John Leguizamo, Donald Faison, Robert Emms, Morris Chestnut, Nicolas Cage, Lyndsy Fonseca, Lindy Booth, Jim Carrey, Clark Duke
The costumed high-school hero Kick-Ass teams up with a group of normal citizens who have been inspired to fight crime in costume. Meanwhile, the Red Mist plots an act of revenge that will affect everyone Kick-Ass knows. Donald Faison, John Leguizamo, and Lindsy Fonseca join the cast, but the addition that's got my bells jingling is Jim Carrey. I've got a rumbling in my gut that this is the year Carrey makes his comedic comeback.
The Lone Ranger
Release Date: 7/3/13
Studio: Disney
Genre: Action, Adventure, Western
Starring: Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Wilkinson
A Native American spirit warrior recounts the untold tales that transformed a man of the law into a legend of justice. The two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.
Not sure there's a whole lot of interest in rebooting this franchise but the chemistry of Depp and Hammer might make this a relatively surprise hit.
Pacific Rim
Release Date: 7/12/13
Studio: Warner Bros
Genre: Sci-Fi, Action
Starring: Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Willem Dafoe, Ron Perlman
Giant monsters arise from a crevice in the Pacific Ocean and wreak havoc. To combat this new threat, massive robots controlled simultaneously by two pilots are built and employed, however even they fail. It's up to two remaining pilots operating one final mech warrior from the original trials to save mankind.
Director Guillermo del Toro has said this is a love letter to Japanese monster movies but the inclusion of Charlie "Wild Card" Day intrigues me most. You really can't go wrong with giant robots vs giant monsters.
The Wolverine
Release Date: 7/26/13
Studio: 20th Century Fox Marvel
Genre: Action
Starring: Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman has stated that this is a 'standalone' movie, meaning you don't have to see any of his other Wolvering perfs to understand it. The sequel takes place after the events of X-Men: The Last Stand, the last film in the original X-Men trilogy and is based on the 1982 limited series comic book, in which Logan travels to Japan and engages a mysterious figure from his past.
Say what you will about the underwhelming X-Men: Origins flick about his character, but I'm not alone when I say it didn't taint the public's view of Jackman's talents. This appears to have more promise and way more interesting fight sequences.
300: Rise of an Empire
Release Date: 8/2/13
Studio: Warner Bros.
Genre: Action, Fantasy
Starring: Rodrigo Santoro, Eva Green, Sullivan Stapleton, Jack O'Connell, Andrew Tiernan, Callan Mulvey, Ygal Naor, Ashraf Barhom, Andrew Pleavin
The film centers on Themistocles and Artemisia I of Caria and will also cover how Xerxes became "the God King". No Gerard Butler but plenty of six packs for all you fitness freaks out there. I can't wait for the new, "This … is … SPARTA!!!" to sweep the nation.
Release Date: 8/9/13
Studio: Sony Pictures Classics
Genre: Sci-Fi, Action
Starring: Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga, Diego Luna
In the year 2159, the very wealthy live on a pristine man-made space station called, Elysium while the rest of humanity lives on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. A hard-nosed government official will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of Elysium while an unlucky ex-con agrees to take on a daunting mission that will save his life and bring class equality.
Not sure if you've seen production stills of Matt Damon, but the dude looks badass. What tickles my fancy is Jodie Foster in a futuristic setting. Those two don't normally go together.
Release Date: 09/06/13
Studio: Universal
Genre: Action, Sci-Fi
Starring: Vin Diesel, Karl Urban, Katee Sackhoff, Dave Bautista
Riddick's left for dead on some planet and must thwart a ton of bounty hunters so he can save his own planet from destruction.
This sequel is probably unnecessary but it allows me to remain relevant when I say a situation is Riddick. Has the clock struck midnight on Vin Diesel's career? He does have Fast and the Furious 6 coming out in '13 (which is Riddick in its own right), and his fanbase is loyal as all hell. I'm just hoping for cooler enemies in this installment.
Sin City: A Dame To Kill For
Release Date: 10/4/13
Studio: Weinstein Dimension
Genre: Noir, Action
Starring: Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Michael Madsen, Rosario Dawson, Clive Owen, Jaime King, Jamie Chung
The town's most hard boiled citizens cross paths with some of its more reviled inhabitants. I'm shocked this isn't a TV series on HBO or Showtime. You could pump out at least five seasons of storylines about this city's sadistic lot of twisted souls.
Ender's Game
Release Date: 11/1/13
Studio: Lionsgate Summit
Genre: Sci-Fi, Action, Adventure
Starring: Asa Butterfield, Ben Kingsley, Harrison Ford, Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin, Viola Davis
In the near future, a hostile alien race attacks Earth but a military hero saves the day. In preparation for the next attack, the military trains the best young children to find the next savior. A shy but strategically brilliant boy quickly and easily excels and is selected to lead the battle.
Children really are our future, so I'm glad my stones dropped. Kids think they have to endure so much pressure now, what about when our world depends on you outsmarting hyper-intelligent extraterrestrials.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Release Date: 11/22/13
Studio: Lionsgate
Genre: Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland, Toby Jones, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jena Malone
After winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta embark on a tour of the districts and are forced to prove that their act to save each other was not an act of defiance against the Capitol, but one of love to prevent full on rebellion. Meanwhile, the president prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games, otherwise known as The Quarter Quell.
I admit I get more than a Quarter Swell on when J-Law's on screen. My only beef with the first movie was the blurry, shaky, rapid camera movement during fight scenes. It reminded me of the bot-on-bot battles in 'Transformers' wrapped in a dream sequence where you're blinded by science. As much as I love all things future, the outfits and hairdos are disconcerting.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Release Date: 12/13/13
Studio: Warner Bros New Line
Genre: Fantasy, Action, Adventure
Starring: Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Graham McTavish, Ken Stott, Aidan Turner, Dean O'Gorman, Mark Hadlow, Jed Brophy, Adam Brown, John Callen, Peter Hambleton, William Kircher, James Nesbitt, Stephen Hunter, Benedict Cumberbatch, Andy Serkis, Hugo Weaving, Stephen Fry, Cate Blanchett, Christopher Lee, Elijah Wood, Ian Holm, Orlando Bloom, Evangeline Lilly, Bret McKenzie
The Dwarfs, Bilbo and Gandalf have successfully escaped the misty mountains, but Bilbo has gained the one ring. They all continue their journey to get their gold back off the Dragon, Smaug.
The Hobbit performed well at the box office and Peter Jackson has stated they can squeeze 3 films out of the one novel. I have a feeling he won't rest until little people with big hairy feet get the respect they deserve. There's hope for you yet, Danny DeVito.
Anchorman: The Legend Continues
Release Date: 12/20/13
Studio: Paramount
Genre: Comedy
Starring: Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, Christina Applegate, David Koechner
Get that leisure suit pressed and break out the scotch, the handsome beast and channel 4 news team assemble for another raucous ride through the world of half-assed journalism. I've yet to go a day without quoting the original and despite being 8 years removed, they still get laughs. It'll be hard to beat the first one, but if there's one thing Ron Burgundy can do well, it's hitting rock bottom and recovering like a champion.

A millionaire's playground, Sorrento is a lively seaside town along the Mornington Peninsula, only an hour-and-a-half from Melbourne. Visitors from all walks of life enjoy holidays in Sorrento, the first Victorian settlement, which deserves more than just a daytrip. A number of accommodation options are available to holidaymakers, from private mansions high above the sea to limestone homes hailing from another era. No matter where you choose to dwell, it is easy to get around Sorrento on foot.
The village of Sorrento was erected on the thinnest strip of the Mornington Peninsula. As such, residents enjoy easy access to both an oceanfront beach and a quieter bayside beach. The protected waters of the inner beach make it a more desirable choice for families with small children. Between the two long stretches of sand, you'll find a number of cafes and shops. Only a short walk separates the beaches.
Naturally curved Back Beach faces the ocean and is a great spot for surfing, but waves rarely get out of hand, ensuring a safe environment. This rugged beach, backing up to Mornington Peninsula National Park, is patrolled over the summer and on weekends. Bushwalkers will enjoy the various trails that depart from Back Beach's, including 3km Coppins Track, which winds along the cliffs and divulges the region's history by means of information plaques.
Sorrento is a sought-after family destination, with plenty to do for youngsters of all ages. A favourite activity for both locals and travellers is to swim with seals and dolphins. Moonraker Dolphin Swims, a family-run, eco-friendly business, has been organising snorkelling expeditions alongside these marine mammals for over twenty years. Tours leave from the Sorrento Pier. Alternately, you can watch the Queenscliff-Sorrento Ferry make its way across the bay, or jump onboard for a 40-minute scenic cruise to the Bellarine Peninsula. And anyone with a sweet tooth will appreciate a stop at Sorrento's award winning bakery, Just Fine Food, famous for its delicious vanilla slice!
The limestone storefronts lining Sorrento's bustling centre attest to the town's prominent past. It may be hard to believe today, but the seaside village hosted the state of Victoria's first judicial and administrative services on the brink of the 19th century, even before Melbourne was founded. Quite a few period buildings remain: step back in time as you wander through Sorrento Village to see the heritage buildings for yourself. To learn more about the area's early inhabitants, both Aboriginal and European, visit the Nepean Historical Society Museum.
Visitors with combined interests in art and history will undoubtedly enjoy spending some time along the Sorrento-Portsea Artists' Trail, which can be accessed by foot or, at major stops, by car. Here, you can stop where famous local and international artists painted the scenery and see reproductions of their works, as well as admire the stunning coastline from different angles. The trail comprises Millionaires Walk, a cliff top trek where the first Union Jack was put up on Australian soil. On a good day, you can see all the way to Melbourne.
With so many luxurious summer homes and primary residences around Sorrento, it hardly comes as a surprise that the village harbours over 60 stylish shops, well in-the-know of the latest fashions. While brands are present, small, individually-owned boutiques also populate the main shopping strip in between gourmet cafes. Whether you're looking for a unique piece of art, some fresh new resort wear or jewellery to turn heads, you won't be disappointed.
Multifaceted Sorrento appeals just as much to visitors who enjoy the finer things in life as it does to those who aim to spend the better part of their holiday outside. Thanks to the town's proximity to Melbourne, single night visits are thoroughly possible, but the longer you stay, the more you'll get swept away by Sorrento's laidback seaside charm. You'll discover something new at every turn because, truthfully, Sorrento never gets old.

Steel stocks drop as guidance comes up short
Two steel companies announce weak guidance as prices fall.

The steel industry continues to suffer from overcapacity, particularly in China.
End markets for the industry, including the auto industry, are still under pressure despite a clear improvement in worldwide economic conditions. Because of this, the steel sector has lagged most other areas of the market year to date.
With that said, investors should not be surprised that steel stocks saw increased pressure Monday. Friday after the market close, Steel Dynamics (STLD) announced weak second-quarter guidance. AK Steel (AKS) followed suit, announcing weak guidance Monday morning.
Steel Dynamics provided second-quarter earnings guidance in the range of 15 cents to 20 cents per share, below analysts' consensus estimates of 24 cents. The guidance is lower than earnings of 20 cents a share in the first quarter 2012 and 43 cents reported for the second quarter of 2011.
The company said its weaker guidance is primarily "the result of decreased sheet steel pricing, attributable to supply-side pressures from increased imports and increased domestic steel capacity." However, the company also mentioned that sheet steel demand quantities are relatively stable, and are seeing strength in the construction equipment, energy, agricultural and automotive sectors.
Monday morning, AK Steel said that it expects a second-quarter profit of between 4 cents and 6 cents a share. A recent drop in spot market pricing and an increased amount of volatility in short-term United States and global economic conditions were cited as primary drivers behind softer guidance.
Shares of most steel companies traded down on the session, including AK Steel, U.S. Steel (X),and Nucor (NUE). Steel Dynamics stood out by gaining over 1% heading into Monday's close.

Are you forgetting the aged infrastructure of America? Granted, because of solar energy, cell phones and satellite dishes, there is less use for the power grid or land lines. This is not the case with the infrastructure, needing girders for bridges, rails and railroads (super trains) for transportation, sewage and water mains, to name but a few in the repair of America.
There is also thee "iron horse" or the steel-framed automobile. I invented something for the iron horse to be hauled down our highways and by-ways by computerized solar panels on light posts that electro-magnetize the roads, like "Ripley's Believe it or Not" or lodestone hill. Steel will be needed for the cars, or iron horse, and magnetized steel will be needed to implant in the roads, charged by solar panels.
I say: continue to go long "Steel" for the 40-80 year old infrastructure and the iron horse and magnetized roadways. Be Bullish on America!

A winter vacation in Iceland
Fabulous food and otherworldly scenery add up to a perfect Christmas getaway.
City center during the holidays, Reykjavík, Iceland (© Icelandic photo agency/Alamy)
Arriving in Reykjavík on Christmas Eve, you could be mistaken for thinking you'd just arrived in a country that is built out of chocolate cake: cocoa-colored volcanic rock perfectly dusted in powdery white snow. Glimpsed in the darkness, it instantly gives Iceland a sense of magic and whimsy.
Unlike many other western countries, Iceland's biggest Christmas celebrations take place on Christmas Eve, when everyone devours feasts with family and friends and exchanges gifts (only presents from Santa are opened on Christmas Day).
It is one of the most untouched and naturally beautiful countries I've had the pleasure of visiting...
Arriving at our hotel, we didn't realize how much of a treat we were in for. Having booked ahead for Christmas dinner in the restaurant, we only had the option of a set menu -- and my culinary tastes have never been what you'd call 'eccentric,' so I was both dubious and mildly terrified by what was to come.
Bing: Search for flights to Reykjavík
Course by course, our Nordic feast arrived -- langoustine and haddock with onion foam, poached egg and soft new potatoes, pan-fried duck breast and braised legs with soft potatoes and -- finally -- cherry sorbet with rice pudding and caramel. Each course was more delicious than the last. I was blown away by the use of seasonal ingredients and unusual flavor combinations; it was a highlight of the trip.
Waking up the following morning, still in darkness, we were completely unaware of the beauty that surrounded us. As the sun slowly began to rise, the landscape was finally revealed; snow-capped mountains rose out of the sea, and the candy-colored skies leave glints of gold and pink light on the peaks.
Ultimately, this was the reason I'd been wanting to come to Iceland. It is one of the most untouched and naturally beautiful countries I've had the pleasure of visiting and I couldn't wait to see more of it.
The 'Golden Circle' was our first point of call, a chance to explore the wonders deep in the heart of western and central Iceland. Our first stop was in the market town of Sunnumork where I strongly suggest you have a hot chocolate and try a traditional teabolla cake from the famous Almar bakery. They are delicious. I ended up having two and never found them anywhere else.
Historic Skálholt church, the ancient seat of the bishops of Iceland, is chance to experience the clean lines and minimalist interiors of traditional Icelandic architecture before heading on to Gullfoss.
Driving through the countryside is extraordinary. You cut through vast mountains, lava fields and farmland (where you might be lucky enough to spot some Iceland horses) before reaching Gullfoss. The tiny town consists, at first glance, of little more than a tourist shop and a cafe -- you start to wonder what all the fuss is about.
More on MSN Local Edition:
When in Iceland in winter make sure to visit a "Þorrablot," a traditional midwinter festival where traditional Icelandic foods known as "Þorramatur" are served. Get in touch with your inner Andrew Zimmern and try such delicacies as aged, putrified shark (hakarl), pickled ram testicles (hrutspungar), singed sheep head, salted fish with butter, blood pudding and soured milk whey.
As for the climate, the temperatures in Iceland in midwinter are warmer than you might think...average highs are in the low-mid 30s F and average lows are in the low-mid 20s F. What's a bit unnerving are the daylight hours (or lack thereof). At winter solstice the sun rises around 10:30am and sets round 3pm.
My brother, Michael, went to Iceland several years ago and he said it was the best trip he had ever had. He said the place was magical and so different from other places he had visited. He also said that the women, whom descend from the Vikings, were tall, blond, beautiful, and were walking down the streets late at night coming from the clubs and pubs. Icelanders like to drink because of the cold nite air. At any rate, I want to travel there too and experience Iceland! Thanks so much for the article!!!
Being in Iceland for a few days is the better way to see it. I was there for a year - doesn't make me a native but I have some insights you might find interesting.
1) The Icelanders are friendly for the most part.
2) Gullfoss is the Golden Falls and has to be seen in the summertime.
3) You have 23 hours of darkness in the winter. We used to stand around at noon time and wait for the sun to make it's brief appearance - then cheer when we had some light.
4) It is COLD and the winds blow mightily in the winter. I have seen fully loaded 55 gallon oil cans roll down the street like empty paper cups
5) The wind is like a williwaw (4 directions at once as well as up and down)
6) If you aren't careful, you can have a bad case of frostbite - keep your feet dry.
7) Another trip you might want to make (in the summertime) is to the whaling station at Quallafor in the northern area.
8) If you go in the summertime (recommended) you must visit the Althing (the 1st parliament in the western world).
9) When you go to Gullfoss you can go fishing in the many pools and cook your fish on the way up if you want to.
10) When you go in the summer be prepared for 23 hours of sunlight with one hour of twilight (bring eyeshades)

It had been more than two weeks since the Kings had played at home.
And Saturday night's game was unlike any other home game this season.
Fans targeted Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz as part of the "Here We Buy" movement to keep the Kings in Sacramento. The goal was to put as many fans as possible inside Sleep Train Arena to let the NBA know the Kings are wanted and supported by the region.
So Kings coach Keith Smart passed along this message to his team.
"Let's go out and put a show on," he said.
The Kings did just that.
The announced crowd of 16,193 saw the Kings play the type of basketball they hadn't displayed for the better part of a month in a 120-109 win over the Jazz.
The Kings were coming off a season-high six-game trip on which they went 1-5. They lost the last four games, capped by an overtime defeat Monday at Utah.
Smart said he wanted the Kings to impress the fans and show what they had worked on in two full-contact practices leading up to the game.
The offense featured teamwork. The Kings didn't come out flat, and they exhibited the energy most expected them to play with every night.
Isaiah Thomas led six Kings in double figures with 25 points. Marcus Thornton scored 24 points off the bench, while Jason Thompson followed up his 23-point effort at Utah with 21 points.
Thomas said seeing fans tailgating before the game added to the excitement.
"That only happens in college," Thomas said. "You don't see people tailgating at games in the NBA. That was great. The support system we got from the fans was one of a kind."
Thomas said the fans provided the boost the Kings needed to end their losing streak.
The players encouraged the fans to keep the building loud. Cowbells rang from the stands.
The final minutes were dominated by a "Here We Stay!" chant, a "Sacramento" chant and the wave.
"I've never had a chance to do the wave, so I made sure I included myself in that, and it was an incredible experience," DeMarcus Cousins said.
The wave made a few trips around the arena.
"Yeah, I got a little fatigued at the end," Cousins said. "Didn't expect it to last that long, but it kind of did, and I stuck through it."
Mayor Kevin Johnson sat courtside, which he has regularly since the announcement Jan. 21 that the Maloofs had agreed to sell a controlling interest of the Kings to Chris Hansen's Seattle-based ownership group. That group intends to move the Kings to Seattle if the sale is approved by the NBA.
The Kings are 2-8 since the announcement.
Thornton said the last three years of relocation talk would be enough to keep some fans away.
"That just shows how loyal the fans are out here," he said. " With all this speculation going on, they could have easily packed it in and said we're not going to the game, but they still show their support, and we're thankful for that."
The Kings host Houston tonight, and Thornton extended an invitation to the fans.
"I told everybody to come back," Thornton said. "We need that every game."

GM wants more subprime buyers
Other companies are doing brisk business with subprime buyers. But not General Motors.
Subprime buyers received about 16% of all new vehicle loans in the fourth quarter of last year, The Associated Press reports. The auto industry depends on these people for its sales, and it needs the banks to give them loans.
GM wants to sell to more subprime buyers as it revs up for a new public stock offering. But its main lender, Ally Financial, doesn't like the risk of loaning money to people with poor credit. So GM is stuck.
Rival Honda Motor (HMC) counts on subprime buyers for 20% of its business, according to the AP. But because Ally (formerly known as GMAC) is being so conservative, GM only gets 1% of its business from that category.
So what can GM do? It's pretty clear that the company needs to start its own financing operation, and then it can be as loose with the purse strings as it wants.
But that costs a lot of upfront money, and it brings on a new level of risk for a company that's just getting its act together. GM reported its first quarterly profit in three years Monday. Post continues after video:
GMAC has been busy fixing itself, which included changing its name to Ally. Now, it writes about a third of all GM car loans, the AP reports.
GM could buy Ally outright or start its own financing. But it needs to do something, or else it will keep losing subprime business to its competitors.

What exactly is it that a conductor does?
I'm watching the movie "The Hidden Face". (seriously great movie). The primary actor is a conductor. What exactly is it that a conductor does? All of the orchestra has the music, so each should know their part. I'm confused as to why the conductor is considered such a genius, unless he/she is the author of the music and has a certain way of interpreting it. Even so, I don't get it. Forgive my ignorance. But please explain.
Thank you.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Bin ParkDec 10 2012: It costs much money and effort when we need great interpretation, decision making and juggling of all problems, and even it is not easy to guarantee quality gaining the benefits against the cost. Here, we need a conductor because he/she is the most sophisticated, so plays a crucial and efficient role in the work and performance of an orchestra. That's the bottom line.
Moreover, it is related to a concept, 'group.' For a perfect performance, personal taste, opinion, and point of view are sometimes neglected under joint agreement. Again, we need conductor as a leader, guide, and instructor.
I'm not a specialist in this area, so I feel sorry that I cannot explain it exactly. All I know is a conductor plays a vital role in the performance:).

African FBO Celebrates Strong First Year
Evergreen Apple Nigeria (EAN), the first private FBO facility in Nigeria, is reporting a steady increase in operations since it opened last year. From July to December 2011, the facility at Murtala Mohammad International Airport in Lagos handled 478 movements. That total rose to 976 movements between January and June. To meet that growing demand, the facility has increased staff to 39 from 11. The FBO, which is open around the clock, features a VIP lounge with short-stay accommodations and crew lounge. Its hangars are already home to nine based clients. The facility can provide line maintenance for EASA-registered aircraft through its partner MCM, and it operates a tire, brake and battery shop onsite.
EAN recently launched Wings In-Flight, the airport's first and only private aviation catering service. The company plans to open additional FBOs in Abuja and Port Harcourt.

On 14th January 2010, the WHO put out a press release stating that they had not changed the definition of pandemic mid-way through the Swine flu, in order to ramp up sales of an unnecessary vaccine for a virus which did not fit their previous definition of the word "pandemic". Their porky comes after a European governing body announced a formal investigation of WHO for consistently scaremongering H1N1 into something dangerous, when it is not even as bad as normal flu, and...according to them... doing it because WHO experts have their hands in the "pharma tills" big time.

More WHO swine flu porkies.
Will there be a whitewash, or action?
The likely response from the Ministry of Health will be mathematical platitudes to the tune of lots of cervical cancer prevented; X percentage of adolescents have received (the first shot of) Gardasil, and X number of doses have been given, blah blah blah. But that's a sop, and not nearly good enough. We've heard it all before, and we know it's not what parents see. Continue Reading
Jasmine was a very healthy girl, with no history of any health issues at all. After her first Gardasil vaccine (NJ02260) on 18th September, Jasmine broke out with warts on her hands, and her skin and moods changed. The warts were burned off of the 20th October, and didn't come back. After the second vaccine (NJ11440) on 18th November , her moods were worse, and the warts were back within two weeks and were burned off on the 28th January. After Jasmine's third vaccine (NJ11440) on 17th March, like clockwork, within two weeks, the warts were back, like clockwork, for yet a third time. Continue Reading
Stevie had a history of being born premature, tonsils and appendix out; left alternating extropia, (which got worse after Gardasil); allergy to citrus, and like her brother, didn't handle the babyhood vaccines easily. She spiked high temperatures and cried a lot. Stevie also has an anti-trypsin MZ type deficiency, which meant that she was often prescribed antibiotics early in infections or they would become very bad. Continue Reading
Challenge dechallenge rechallenge
Ever heard of something called "challenge", "dechallenge" … "rechallenge" (CDR)? It goes like this. Give a person like me, antibiotics (challenge), and the body happens to go nuts. Big rash (urticaria). But as a doc you aren't sure, so you stop the drug for a while (dechallenge), and then give it again (rechallenge). Result = Big rash, face and neck swells and I can't breath. The rechallenge proved that the antibiotic was causing the reaction. The same principle applies to all drugs, foods, whatever. It could be called "immunology 101" Real basic. Or you would think, right? Continue Reading
Part Eight Gardasil and Mark Probert
Part Seven Gardasil and the Harper
In October 2009, Dr Diana Harper, the lead researcher in the development of both Gardasil and Cervarix, addressed a conference intended to promote vaccines . (Just in case it disappears, I've pdf'd it here.) Instead, the data she presented, left the doctors in the audience, wondering why HPV vaccines were used in developed countries at all.

Part Six Some more of the iceberg
Jasmine is not alone. But her mother is the first who has decided to go public with all her information. Continue Reading
Part Five Jasmine, the tip of the iceberg
What follows is a letter to Dr Stewart Jessamine which gives a overview of the issues as they stand today: Continue Reading
Part Four Autopsy and Jasmine Renata
Rhonda's focus turned to the question of "why did Gardasil do this and how?". In reviewing Jasmine's medical records and all the talks Rhonda and I had, I was most concerned at certain aspects of Jasmine's last few months, in particular the deterioration of her ability to make decisions, and to work out how to do simple jobs which she had done since childhood. It seemed too me that apart from the other symptoms in Jasmine's body, there was something going on in her brain. Continue Reading

Cabo San lucas and San Jose del cabo Restaurant recommendation...
- josephml1 Nov 2, 2010 10:12 PM
Hello everyone, I am looking for good restaurant to eat in my visit to los cabos.
I am open to suggestions.
I am looking for a good sea food restaurant, some good places with international food, fine restaurant and a good place to eat breakfast...
Thank you all.
San Jose - El Chilar and Voila
re: Mariana in Baja
Excellent advice, thanks for sharing :)
re: Mariana in Baja
We had a great meal at Voila last year. In CSL, I lile Mariscos Mazatlan for seafood...shrimp is local and great down there. They have a dish called zarandeado..a whole red snapper, butter flied and grilled.
Patagonia is a great Argentine steakhouse..few blocks in from Marina
La Fonda is a great place..short taxi ride from the marina.
re: 9lives
Excellent post thanks...
re: Mariana in Baja
San Jose El Chilar is closed
re: cabojules
is this recent? I'm not finding that anywhere online? their website is live.
re: trapper3
A friend just told me that there is wonderful sushi in the mall where Walmart is - in the food court. Not exactly a destination but it is right next door to Europea - the best place to buy wine and other liquor. I have not been myself but the friend who told me is a true foodie and quite fussy. He also said it was very affordable.
re: Mariana in Baja
Great, advice... Definitive I will need a good place to buy some wine...thanks... :)
re: trapper3
Very useful, thanks for sharing...
re: trapper3
Excelent page thanks for sharing!!!
re: trapper3
Hi, do you happen to know the "little hole in the wall joint where local peddlers go for beer and a little lunch. It's on a side street about a block from Peublo Bonito's back entrance, and around the corner from Casa Dorada (I think). They just hired an English speaking mexican from Vancouver who recommended their seafood soup to me. For about 90 pesos ($8), it is made from scratch and loaded with fresh crablegs, shrimps, tender octopus and mussels. Delish!" described by another person on this thread?
I've been to Cabo many times and am pretty familiar with the area, will be back again in December - looking forward to finding new spots.
So far Gordo Lele's, Maro's, and el Farallon are some of my favorites in CSL ~ thanks in advance!
Tacos Gardenia for lunch (not open past 5) - awesome tacos, shrimp tacos are especially popular, we loved the Shrimp Cocktail. Great prices. We had a lovely dinner at a place upstairs in Puerto Paraiso, but I think it's closed now, was excellent for fresh local seafood. Gordo Lele's for tacos - I would assume he is open for dinner as well as lunch - best tacos in Cabo, and you get entertainment too.
re: nsstampqueen
Mhhhhh love the tacos!!! :),
I will add it to my list thanks for sharing :)
re: nsstampqueen
I'm a big fan of both Gordo Lele's and Tacos Gardenias too. Tacos Gardenia is on the S side of the marina; sort of behind the big plaza. Worth seeking out. Short walk up the hill from Medano Beach.
GL is on the other side of town.. a few short blocks from the marina. Really a fun place, nice man and great food.
re: 9lives
Great pics... and also great recomendations, thanks for sharing...
re: josephml1
Enjoy! I go down in 6 weeks, can't wait.
re: 9lives
In 6 weeks me too I will be there the last week of december... :)
re: josephml1
Just my opinion, but why go to Ruth's Chris when there are so many other options. If you want to have food you can have at home, then I guess it works, however, there are so many other options. Near Ruth's Chris in the Puerto Paraiso Mall upper level there was a fantastic seafood restaurant I can't remember the name right now. We had a very romantic dinner on the patio overlooking the square below (it was almost right above the Harley place and Ruth's Chris), there were candles on the tables and only a few other diners outside, the place supposedly had a shark tank inside, but we never went inside so I missed that. Not sure if it still open, however, if anything else opened in their place the patio was amazing at night! Check out www.loscabosguide.com for a list of restaurants in Cabo, the corridor and San Jose. You can also search Trip Advisor for Trapper's List - an excellent and highly regarded listing of all the restaurants in Cabo - great reading too!
re: nsstampqueen
Great link, thanks for sharing!!!
re: josephml1
In a word, no..:) unless you're craving a US luxury, steakhouse chain. It has a nice bar and outdoor seating overlooking the marina.
I will admit we went a few years ago when we were spending almost 6 weeks in Baja and wanted a taste of home which we got and enjoyed.
A far better option if you want beef is a place called Patagonia; Argentinean owned with grass fed beef grilled over an open flame. Offer a variety of cuts, my favorite is vacio or arrachetta. I think they're like a skirt steak and top sirloin. Cuts don't translate exactly to US names and my Spanish is far from perfect. If you like sweetbreads, they do a great version. Argentina is making some good wines and we had a Malbec that I have at home.. and enjoy..TrapicheBroquel
They're a few blocks in from the marina, near the old Town Sq where Mi Casa (avoid) is located . Get directions or a short cab ride. The streets are safe to walk but you may have difficulty finding the place.
I don't know if $ is an issue, but every time Ms 9 and I go to Patagonia, we laugh about how much more we spent a few blocks away at RC for a far less interesting meal.
Mariscos Mazatlan and Patagonia are always "first week" dinners.
re: 9lives
As always your post is very useful...I am taking notes...I will follow your advice.
thanks again!!!
re: cabojules
We almost went there and heard great things about it. Even stopped in and ate a few hot peppers with the chefs. Great looking place and it is great to have non MX options when visiting.
Just couldn't bring myself to eat Thai in MX when I only had a week in SJD and we have such good Thai in Boston...2 weeks and we'd have gone for sure.
Make sure to get reservations if you are dining in San Jose Del Cabo. We spent a LOT of time waiting because the restaurants get filled up. And, the hosts seem to tell you that it will only be X amount of time but, in fact, it is a LOT longer. So, get those reservations and enjoy!!
Just returned from CSL, and my 3 picks are:
Maria Corona is a lovely mid-price Mexican restaurant with great mole poblano. It's just a little off the main drag and your taxi driver will take you there.
I still find the Galeon a great restaurant after many years of dining (maybe 20?). Valentino, their piano player, must be over 80 by now but still plays great music. The Italian cuisine is authentic as any I've tried elsewhere around the whole.
A neat fine on this trip - a little hole in the wall joint where local peddlers go for beer and a little lunch. It's on a side street about a block from Peublo Bonito's back entrance, and around the corner from Casa Dorada (I think). They just hired an English speaking mexican from Vancouver who recommended their seafood soup to me. For about 90 pesos ($8), it is made from scratch and loaded with fresh crablegs, shrimps, tender octopus and mussels. Delish!
re: edible complex
You will definately want to find locations with a/c as July is warmer. I recommend reading the trip advisor board also. Just make sure the restaurant is still open as many have closed in recent months.
re: cabojules
thnx. closed as in for season or out of business?
re: edible complex
Some are closed permanently. Typically restaurants that close for the slow season, only close in the later part of the summer for a month or so. The economy has caused many businesses (restaurants) to shutter their doors
Just returned from SJD and have the following recommendations%3
El Herredera - Best Aguachille Camarone around. Their servings are HUGE. They also have outstanding molcajetes there.
Mi Casa - typical place, but get talking to the owner about doing something special and he will work with you. Have him call "Nemo" the fish supplier. We had Nemo bring in several large Snapper to choose from. Then had the chef butterfly the fish and rub in a traditional spicy seasoning. The entire restaurant applauded when it finally came out. It was absolutely perfect.
Tequila - have Rosario as your waiter. Sample the Wonton Shrimp, Sauteed Octopus and Tequila Shrimp. Outstanding. Rosario is also very proficient at walking you through a tequila tasting if you wish.
Morgan's - the Chile Relleno stuffed with shrimp and oaxaca cheese is off the charts. Everything on the menu is good, but stick with the nightly specials. I had the tuna, rubbed with blackend seasoning and then grilled on either side for a 2 minutes to keep the center rare. Sat next to Mike Shanahan which was pretty cool - I guess the strike has afforded him some vacation time! LOL
WARNING: DO NOT GO TO BAJA BLUE! This is a bar/night club. A friend got jumped by three locals for no reason other than to "Teach All Gringos a Lesson" as they said while running off.
anyone have an opinion on El Farallon?

just returned from a feeding frenzy~
first night, we went to Europea to stock up on Wine, Champagne, Beer and Kahlua and to WalMart for basics for our week at the Misiones.
headed next door for a late dinner at Puerta Vieja of margaritas (best of the trip), guacamole, grilled asparagus w/goat cheese and grilled shrimp, lobster and lamb chops. for starters, they bring out pickled veggies and cactus and salsas. I could have made a meal on the cactus.
started the next morning looking for the farmers' market, but was not season, so settled on some mixed grilled seafood tacos at EAT at Palmilla. headed into SJD for some shopping at MEGA market and hit the jackpot. loaded up on guac, ceviches, stuffed rellenos, mole', cactus, various tacos, meats and cheeses, salsas for the week~great fare for sunrise beach picnics with the champagne. dinner that night at Sunset da Mona Lisa. 3 attempts at margaritas went bad, so switched to red wine. noshed on some pizza and melanzane parmigiana watching the sunset. great location for happy hour sunsets, but had been advised from local foodies not to do the big dinner there.
next day started w/sunrise birthday brekkie on the beach w/bubbles, huevos rancheros, chilaquiles w/chicken and beer at The Office. headed back to SJD for the art stroll and happy hour at Mi Cucina at Casa Natalia. planned on dinner, but they were slammed that night but the hour wait for the table and then no service for 30 mins after being seated had us leaving before eating. happy to get back and nosh on the MEGA finds.
fabulous dinner next night at La Golondrina started with scallop carpacio and mixed seafood ceviche. throughly enjoyed the sea bass, chicken mole and steak quesadilla. the menu is insanely huge and they will fix any combination of what suits you. nice wine list, great service, and beautiful courtyard.
headed into CSL for some early dinner the next day at Tacos Gardenia. killer fried shrimp and fired fish tacos. the shrimp molcajete is not to be missed. margaritas were huge and tasty. best tacos of the trip! I was last seen sucking up the last of the shrimp molcajete sauce with a straw.
it wouldn't be a sunday without a sunrise beach brekkie. headed into CSL later for a sunset sail, snorkel and sushi with Cabo Sailing. great sail! ended the evening at Blue Marlin for some fish tacos and guac.
the next day we started with a early lunch at Los Michoacanos. wicked good pork! had some carnitas, gordiatas, tacos, and various salsa. found this gem after reading a Rick Bayless blog...thanks! was in a pig paradise. later that night, we had a hankering for lobster, so headed to Villa Serena as it was next to the condo. lobster was okay, but the restaurant suffered a power outage so we couldn't linger and had to cut the evening short.
checked into the Westin for the last night and hung out at the pool for some lunch at La Playa. they do make a nice Tres Ceviches. went to dinner at Nick San at the Palmilla. Best. Sushi. Ever. started with some mango scallop gratinee, and fresh salmon and fresh yellowtail w/cilantro cream. the tuna tostada is not to be missed. they make a mean spider roll as well. found a Santo Tomas Rose that worked well w/the meal. rounded out the dinner w/some salmon roe sushi.
on the way to the airport our last morning, we stopped at the Tropicana Inn for some chilaquiles w/chicken and roasted potatoes and peppers.
wish we had more time to try Cabo Winery, Blue Fish, Opus, El Chilar, Local 8 and Mariscos las Tres Islas...all recommended by some local foodies. best meals of the trip by far were La Golondrina, Tacos Gardenias, Los Michoacanos, and Nick San. so glad we hit the Mega hard and stocked up w/local fare for our condo to fill in between going out...cheers!
Just returned on Thursday. As mentioned previously, Gordo Le Le has the BEST Carne Asada tacos in CSL. Tiny, local and outstanding.
Our favorite nice restaurant was Edith's. Hillside, behind Hacienda, small view of the water. The had lobster, huge shrimp, sea bass, NY strip, filet mignon and ribeyes in addition to Mexican fare. The tuna tar tar appetizer is delish.
The best guacamole (& we tried it every place we went) was at the bar on the marina right next to the huge marlin statue thing. Not solomon's, but the place that has a bucket of 5 beers with chips/salsa for $9.99.
We loved CSL! Bought a timeshare on day 2!
re: chispa_c
Any recent updates to this thread? Right now on our list of maybe is:
Nick San
Flora's Field Kitchen
Nana Rosa
Hacienda Cantina y Cocina
Las Guacamayas
(also a handful of taco spots for lunch, Gardenia, Le Le, etc.)
Thoughts on any of these places? We're interested in high end or casual... mostly Mexican, nothing overly touristy... Just good flavors! Thanks!!
re: jdream
I think for just good flavors, and good value you would be missing the boat if you didn't try Baan Thai in the Art District in San Jose. Check out there reviews on tripadvisor. Locals eat there.
re: cabojules
I think we're going to pass on Thai when we're there. Although I'm sure it's delicious there's a ton of that in NY. Here's the final list of places I think we want to try:
Deckman, Nick San, Flora Farm, La Fonda, Hacienda Cocina y Cantina. We also plan to do a little taco crawl one night in San Jose and go to Guacamaya and El Ahorcado.
Taco Gardenia, Gordon Lele, Los Michoacanos, Marisco el Torito.
What do you think of this list? Anything we're missing or really need to add?
re: jdream
Add Edith's to your list. You will not be disappointed. We went there twice in one trip. They also offered to cook any fish we caught. Best service we experienced in Cabo.
re: chispa_c
We're in Cabo right now and very impressed with Bar Esquina in the Bahia Hotel. it's just a few steps from Edith's. New restaurant, new chef.
I highly recommend the pizza with mushrooms and truffle oil. it is outstanding.
To impress your date, Sunset Mona Lisa is still a great place for a romantic dinner. The food is so so, but it's the jaw dropping scenery and ambiance that you're really there for..
re: yummytummy
Thanks for the 411! We'll be back in June and will certainly check out the other places you mention.
just got back from a week in sjd. first time here and we rented a car. easy place to navigate. tried to find the marisco place near the airport because we were hungry when we landed but there was no way to find it. there are lot of places that sell marisco so we gave up. on the ride into sjd heading south i saw a place as you just get into sjd, on the northbound side, that is called the best fish tacos in los cabos. it was in spanish with the english underneath. it was abot 3pm and there were a number of people there so i did a uturn and we ate there. excellent little place. fish tacos were 17 pesos. they also had scallops, squid, smoked marlin, etc. we also had a 1/2 order of aguachile. they have a huge selection to pile on in the middle of the restaurant. the usual guacamole, pico de gallo, salsas , cabbage but also fried onion rings, jalapenos, salad. really cheap, fast and good.
we then hit the mega, i love that place.
that night we drove into sjd and it was dark and i had no idea where i was. we ended up just short of the zocalo so we ate at habanero's. it was all tourists and i was not happy but wtf. i had a chicken stuffed with hualtacoche, it was good but i didn't expect it to be deepfried. most everyone else was eating ribs and usual fare. not bad but not worth seeking out.
the next night we at at barrio del tango. argentine meat place. very local. loved it. they had a menu translated into english. the sangria with nuts was terrific. the queso melted on the grill with mushrooms was great. and the vacia argentino was an amazingly tasty and tender piece of meat. i brought back half of it for tacos for lunch the next day.
went to csl the next day and lasted an hour. horrible. we ate at tacos gardenia and again, all tourists. it was good but not like the first place.
we had a beer at baja brewing co and i'm glad we didn't eat there. good brews but only pizza and burgers.
we took a day trip to todos santos and it's nice litle arty town. lots of expats. beware, the rroads are being fixed and it took over 2 hours to get there. horrible ride. nothing to rave about there but on the way home, we went north towards la paz and cut across the mountains. longer trip but at least we moved and the mountain ride was beautiful. we stopped in el triufe(?) the first town when you cut across on a recomendation from some expat in todos santos. an american baker opened a little place there, it is atown of about 200 and he sells pizza! and it was really good. it also cost about 220 peso which is about $18us. in the middle of nowhere. we had an arugala and prociutto pizza. amazing world we live in. if you go, it's the ONLY restaurant in town.
the next evening was deckmans. excellent. upscale casual with very tasty food. more expensive than fish tacos but we had more than enough food, mostly delicious with cocktails and wine and the total for 3 was about $130. highly recommended and don't miss the octopus with pork belly. great service and drew deckman came out to meet us after dinner. interesting guy and i wish him luck. he told us it was just their 1 year anniversary and coincidently, so did the people ay barrio del tango.
the next afternoon we wanted tacos so we tried to find the hangman. i even drew a map from their website but it was not to be found. where i expected to find it was a birria place. and it was crowded so we ate there. birria is a goat stew/soup. this place was sooo local and it was very tasty. spicy, meaty, delicious. be daring and try it. birria, con chivo.
that night we went back to barrio del tango and had some cheese and empanadas because we were still full from the birria. and some more sangria.
on the way home we went back for fish tacos at the first place and it was great again. so please use my recs as a guide but be daring and don't eat at the places all the tourists go to. it will be much more memorable.
re: dwl773
When I'm not cutting my own, yellowtail, tuna and sierra mackeral are abundant, I prefer Sushi Art to Nik San. It's smaller and more personal with excellent quality . Used to be a fan of Nik San..but gave up on it a few years ago. At Sushi Art, I let the owner pick the dishes and I've always been very pleased.
We're considering Flora Farm next year. I'm on their Facebook page (recommended) and looks great...although a little difficult to get to.
Thought I would revive this to see if there were any new places people recommended. We were in Los Cabos last year and walked away with Hacienda Cantina y Cocina and Las Guacamayas being run away favorites. Also French Riviera for shockingly good pastries. Will definitely be returning there this year.
This is a list of spots that caught my eye this year in searching. Would love to know if anyone has thoughts on them or any other recommended spots. A little info is that we're from Manhattan (my boyfriend is a chef and I also work in the restaurant business) and are not looking to have Thai food or anything super American-y. We're open to dirty hole in the wall spots or nice restaurants. Just great food!
Nana Rosa
Meson del Angel
Barrio del Tango
Marisco Los Toritos
El Ahorcado/The Hangman
Bonus points for great local spots or nice settings. Thanks much!
Reminds me...when we were there in July, someone mentioned (a cab driver) a woman from CA who has moved to Cabo and opened her own scratch bakery somewhere on the same road that Coyote is on. If anyone has any other info on that, I'd love to hear it. When locals start going to a bakery well known to be owned/run by a chick from CA, I want to know about it.

July 18, 2013 was a history making day for Detroit. Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr filed the paperwork sending the city into Chapter 9 bankruptcy.
"This is really about the first step in starting this city towards a course of restoring goods and services," Orr said at a news conference following the filing.
"I really didn't want to go in this direction, but now that we are here, we have to make the best of it," said Mayor Dave Bing.
So what happens next for the people who live and work in the City of Detroit?
Joining Huel Perkins and Charlie Langton on our panel to discuss were:
Bettie Buss, the former supervising budget analyst for the City of Detroit, who is now with the Citizens Research Council of Michigan.
Craig Fahle, one of the best reporters and interviewers in broadcasting. You can hear his radio show every weekday on 101.9 WDET.
And Cliff Russell, a man who knows the inner workings of City Hall. He was the former press secretary for Mayor Dennis Archer and served on the campaign staff for Mayor Dave Bing. He is also an award-winning veteran of 30 years in the local media.
After you watch this week's edition of "Let It Rip," we want to hear from you. Post your thoughts on this topic in the "Comments" section below.

About 900,000 people still didn't have electricity in the New York metropolitan area, including about 550,000 on Long Island, Cuomo said. About 80 percent of New York City's subway service has been restored, he added.
The restoration of power beat the sunrise Saturday in the West Village, though just barely. Electricity arrived at 4:23 a.m., said Adam Greene, owner of Snack Taverna, a popular eatery.
What's happening, state by state
The massive storm that started out as Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast and morphed into a huge and problematic system, killing at least 105 people in the United States. Power outages now stand at more than 2.6 million homes and businesses, down from a peak of 8.5 million. Here's a snapshot of what is happening, state by state.
Gas shortages in the New York area sends motorists across state lines to Connecticut in search of fuel. Lines form at gas stations near Interstate 95. Deaths: 3. Power outages: 227,500, down from a peak of 625,000.
As Massachusetts returns to normal, it sends volunteers and National Guard members to help in storm-battered New York. Massachusetts' federally-owned T.S. Kennedy heading to Elizabeth, N.J., on Sunday. The 540-foot ship will serve as a "hotel" for emergency workers, power crews and others helping the region get back on its feet. Deaths: None. Power outages: about 1,000, down from 400,000.
New Jersey
Fueling up vehicles was the primary goal for many, especially those trying to make purchases before a gas rationing system took effect at noon Saturday in 12 northern New Jersey counties. Drivers waited in line for more than 30 minutes at one Jersey City station. City police officers were waving motorists in and out to expedite the process. Deaths: 22. Power outages: 1.2 million, down from 2.7 million.
New York
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was determined to keep the city's huge marathon as scheduled, but finally canceled it, he says, because the controversy was becoming a distraction. Bloomberg says he still thinks the city had the resources to manage the race and tend to the massive cleanup after Superstorm Sandy. "I'm sorry. I fought the battle. And sometimes things don't work out," he said. Deaths: 48, including 41 in New York City. Power outages: 900,000, down from 2.2 million.
Between 250 and 300 polling places remained without power just days before Tuesday's election. The Red Cross closed all but two of its emergency shelters in the state. Deaths: 15. Power outages: 163,000, down from 1.2 million.
Rhode Island
Gov. Lincoln Chafee signs a request seeking a presidential disaster declaration in three of the state's five counties. Organizers recruit volunteers to spend the day Saturday in Westerly's beach community, where they will clear away debris and remove sand that inundated homes, shops and other businesses. Deaths: None. Power outages: 7,800, down from more than 122,000.
Other states with storm-related deaths: Maryland (4), New Hampshire (1), North Carolina (2), Ohio (2), Virginia (2), West Virginia (6).

"This morning, I took a really long hot shower," he said.
Greene said one woman had stopped in Saturday to drop off $10 for the staff, saying she regretted she didn't have enough cash to tip adequately during the blackout.
He joked that 28th Street, above which had power, was like "Checkpoint Charlie."
"You crossed 28th Street and people were living a comfortable life," Greene said. "Down here it was dark and cold."
Throughout the West Village, people were emerging from their hibernation, happy to regain their footing. Stores started to reopen. Signs at a Whole Foods Market promised that fresh meat and poultry and baked goods would return Sunday.
At O Cafe, a favorite neighborhood coffee shop, owner Fernando Aciar was thrilled when his phone rang just after 5 a.m., while he was still in bed, with news that the power was back. Within an hour, he had summoned staff who lived in Manhattan, and his business was humming.
"People came, craving something hot to finally feel they're home after days of no light, no heat, no food, no nothing," Aciar said.
"This is our neighborhood, and people here don't like going uptown. But they were forced to go," he said.
Julia Strom, 53, a singer and composer, said she had never left her West 10th Street brownstone. She not only survived in candlelight, but spent three full nights taking care of a woman in her 90s whose caregivers could not come into the city. On Saturday, though exhausted, she said tending to the elderly woman had been "a privilege; it heightens and beautifies life."
Aida Padilla was thrilled that the power at her large housing authority complex in Chelsea had returned late Friday. "Thank God," said Padilla, 75. "I screamed and I put the lights on. Everybody was screaming. It was better than New Year's."
Asked about whether she had heat, she replied, "Hot and cold water and heat! Thank God, Jesus!"
Some lower Manhattan residents, however, were still without steam heat.
Michael Cornelison, 42, who works in IT, was glad power was back in his downtown apartment. But he said he had taken advantage of the darkness, too.
"It was nice to disconnect this week," Cornelison said. "I slept a lot." He added that he'd watched movies on his laptop, including "Hurricane in the Bayou."
New York City's parks reopened Saturday, and with Sunday's New York City Marathon canceled, many of the runners who had come to town for the race worked out their frustrations with a jog through Central Park, the site of the finish line that won't be used.
Others scrambled to rebook return flights.
Bloomberg reversed himself Friday and yielded to mounting criticism about running the race, which starts on hard-hit Staten Island and wends through all five of the city's boroughs.
In his first comments since canceling the marathon, Bloomberg said he'd fought to keep it going but the controversy was becoming "so divisive" and too much of a distraction.
"I still think that we had the resources to do both, and that we want people to be able to take a break and that sort of thing. ... It's a big part of our economy," Bloomberg told WCBS-TV during a visit to Queens. As he spoke, he was met by catcalls from residents angry about the city's response to the storm.Next Page >

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- You wonder what Tom Jurich has to do to receive an athletic director of the year award. He was passed over in favor of late Alabama athletic director Mal Moore for the Sports Business Journal honor earlier this year.Moore's program won national titles in football and men's golf this season and captured four national titles a year ago. His recognition for turning Alabama athletics, particularly football, in the right direction certainly was deserved.But this week, UnderArmor rolled out its National Athletic Director of the Year awards and Jurich, whose program has become the first ever to reach a BCS bowl, NCAA title games in men's and women's basketball and the College World Series in the same season, again didn't make the cut.In fact, the UnderArmor Awards honor FOUR athletic directors. The winners were Duke's Kevin White, Northern Illinois' Jeff Compher, John Currie of Kansas State and Jeff Long of Arkansas.I'm sure all had great seasons, but come on. The selection committee is made up of NCAA Division I conference commissioners.Of those four schools, Duke and Arkansas do rank ahead of U of L in the annual Learfield Sports Directors Cup all-sports standings, though U of L will move ahead of Arkansas by virtue of its College World Series appearance.U of L and Indiana both figure to move into the Top 25 of that index before their baseball seasons end.The University of Kentucky is in line for its best finish ever in the Directors' Cup with a current rank of No. 22, seven spots higher than a year ago.UK's biggest-scoring sport was rifle, which finished national runner-up to West Virginia.(A note: I've had a lot of emails asking about the Capital One Cup. I don't usually recognize it as a legitimate barometer of anything. It awards points only for top 10 finishes -- but bases those on rankings, not on actual performance. It also arbitrarily weighs some sports ahead of others and separates men's and women's programs. It's a marketing ploy, not an actual measure of a department's performance. IU and U of L could finish 1-2 in that ranking, but it won't be based on performance at the College World Series. It will be determined by how the teams finish in the final USA Today-ESPN coaches' poll. The Directors' Cup has problems of its own. Rifle, for instance, has only 23 Division I participants, and it gives preference to programs that field programs in water polo and other sports outside the mainstream, but better to reward all equally than to set up some arbitrary measure of a sport's "worth.")
In any event, Jurich's accomplishment this season, not only on the field but in landing Louisville a spot in the ACC, was worthy of national recognition by any objective measure.
Rick Bozich noted one interesting facet of the season in a column yesterday; namely, that Jurich built this year's success largely on coaches others didn't want.
For an overview of Jurich's entire tenure, I wrote this on the occasion of his fifteenth anniversary of the school last fall.
Prior to this season, only five schools in all of NCAA Division I had logged multiple trips to the men's and women's Final Four, a BCS bowl and the College World Series. U of L has now achieved multiple trips to all in the past seven seasons.
MEDIA HOTEL ROOMS SELL OUT FOR COLLEGE WORLD SERIESLate Monday night, the NCAA alerted schools that it's allotment of media rooms for the upcoming College World Series in Omaha, Neb., have sold out.Not surprising. Local hotels don't want to enter agreements with the NCAA because they want to raise room rates for the event, with many running at $299 per night and up.What was surprising was the number of rooms the NCAA had reserved for media: 30. It's a pretty small number for an eight-team baseball contingent coming in. (Media organizations pay for the rooms, sometimes at a negotiated rate, but often not.)The WDRB contingent, by the way, jumped on the case early and Rick Bozich, Tom Lane and Steve Andress got in. Many are left scrambling. Bozich, Lane and Andress will begin reporting from Omaha this weekend.This must be how visiting media members feel when coming to the Kentucky Derby.CARDINALS RANK HIGH IN RETURNING LETTERMENPhil Steele says the University of Louisville football team ranks No. 4 nationally in percentage of returning lettermen. With 53 returning letterwinners and only 11 lost, U of L's percentage of 82.81 places it behind only Rice, UT San Antonio and Wisconsin among schools who returned a large number of lettermen.Steele's magazine is due out next week. He has listed Cardinals quarterback Teddy Bridgewater as his fourth-team preseason All-American quarterback, behind Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M, Braxton Miller of Ohio State and Alabama's A.J.
