Parsley Salad with Olive Oil Poached Tuna
Recipe courtesy of
Chef John Ash
For the olive oil poached tuna
1 lb. fresh tuna (ahi or yellowfin), cut evenly into a 1 ½ inch or so thick slab
2 tsp. Kosher or sea salt
½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp. sliced garlic
Freshly ground black pepper
1 bay leaf 1 piece lemon peel (about ¾ inch by 2 inches)
3 cups extra virgin olive oil, plus more if necessary
For the salad
2 cups peeled and julienned celery root
2 cups julienned young fennel with any feathery frond reserved for garnish
2/3 cups sliced red onion, soaked in ice water if necessary
2 packed cups flat leaf parsley leaves
¼ cup fruity extra virgin olive oil, or more as needed
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Sea salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
12 caper berries drained
4 oz. or so Pecorino Romano
For the olive oil poached tuna
Trim and discard any skin, bones or dark blood spots from the tuna and set aside. Add the rest of the ingredients to a deep saucepan and heat to 140 degrees. Add the tuna which should be submerged (temperature will drop) and with a diffuser, if you have one, bring temperature back to 125 degrees. If necessary add more California Olive Ranch Everyday Fresh extra virgin olive oil. Maintain this heat for 8 minutes or so or until the fish has whitened and shows a few tiny whiteish beads of protein.
Remove the tuna from the California Olive Ranch Everyday Fresh extra virgin olive oil and drain on a rack. Strain and save the California Olive Ranch Everyday Fresh extra virgin olive oil for other uses like mayonnaise. Tuna can be poached up to 2 days ahead and stored tightly covered in the refrigerator. Allow to come to room temperature when serving.
For the salad
Prepare the tuna and set aside. Toss the cut vegetables together with the parsley in a large bowl. Add the fruity olive oil, salt and white pepper and toss again adjusting flavor to your own taste. Divide the salad among 6 plates. Top with tuna, caper berries and a few curls of Pecorino cut with a vegetable peeler.

Video: Another boring day in paradise...
Just had a really great day on the slope and wanted to share the stunning scenery and weather. That's the main reason for the video: not much by way of flying, but just a celebration of slope soaring..

I have set exposure/brightness differently for different "chunks" of video - assuming you have split it up into chunks? If its all-one still, then split it up as necessary so you can adjust separately? (there's probably a much more elegant "expert" way to do it, but i'm no expert!) Phil. |
Jun 26, 2012, 11:29 AM | |
Great video! I need to get a nice big ship like that so I can fly BEAUTIFUL BIG AIR ACROBATICS like that at Greens Peak... our only site an AZ that has that sort of landscape. Regarding exposure: Your problem, as you probably know, is that your camera is auto exposing the scene as you shoot. The sky is so much brighter than the ground. The camera is compensating accordingly... stopping down in the brightness and opening back up in the darker stuff. If your camera had manual exposure you could pick the best compromise exposure and live with that. You can fix it in post production doing what Phil said. You may not need to cut your video into "chunks." I use Final Cut Express and it lets me apply a brightness/contrast filter to a whole video clip; but gives me an adjustment curve that lets me apply different brightness/contrast settings to different parts of the clip. This is nice since it lets me smoothly blend in the brightness/contrast adjustments. The down side to the post production solution is that is takes a lot longer to render the movie file. Dawson |
Jun 26, 2012, 03:14 PM | |
Phil: Thanks, I am familiar with the splitter, but I really need to invest more time in the help menu...
Dawson: Thanks very much! It's not a HUGE ship (2.8 m w/s), but most of my slopes are conducive to big planes and big moves. Thanks for the advice, I must do some test footage at different exposure settings. Without a doubt a manually set setting will improve on that auto exposure "hunting" effect... I don't want to increase rendering time too much TBH, I already shoot at "only" 720 x 1820 so as not to take too long... Chris |

Taking a trip and curious how to set your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad
The calendar app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch allows you to change the time zone for any event or meeting with just a few taps. Instead of trying to add and subtract time from your own time zone, just set those specific events or meetings for the time zone they're going to occur in.
Calendar will use whatever time zone your clock settings are set to by default. While this is fine in most scenarios, you also have the option of setting time zones on individual entries.
Ever wondered whether or not you can text message multiple photos at once? The answer is yes. Sending them individually is annoying and time consuming. And why when your iPhone easily allows you to send multiple photos at once? This will not only work for text messaging but for e-mailing photos as well.
Although you can send multiple images at once there is still a few caveats that we've found. The first being that you can only send a certain number at once. In most instances, this seems to be five. It also may depend on the size of the photos you're trying to send. You can also only send one video message at a time (for now anyways).

Josh Rutledge out a 'few more days' with sprained left ankle
Posted By Troy E. Renck On March 4, 2014 @ 11:27 am In Cactus League Games,Colorado Rockies Links,General Rockies,Rockies on Deck,Spring Training | No Comments
SCOTTSDALE — A simple double play turn left Josh Rutledge singled out.
Rutledge rolled his left ankle on the bag during drills last Friday, and remains sidelined. He said Tuesday that it is steadily improving following aggressive rehab treatment.
"That first night it didn't really swell up, but it hurt. It's getting better. I was able to do some light shagging of flyballs," Rutledge said. "It should be ready in a few more days."
Rutledge, 24, enters camp in a different spot than a year ago when he was starting second baseman. He struggled last season, sent down in May, while finishing with a .235 average in 88 games. Rutledge is competing with DJ LeMahieu for the second base job and Charlie Culberson and Paul Janish for a bench role.
He has two at-bats this spring. A natural shortstop, Rutledge is still getting comfortable at second base.
Rockies lineup vs. Giants at Salt River Fields:
2B DJ LeMahieu, LF Brandon Barnes, 3B Nolan Arenado, C Wilin Rosario, 1B Matt McBride, RF Kent Matthes, CF Charlie Blackmon, DH Tom Murphy, SS Paul Janish, RHP Juan Nicasio.
There's no word yet on Jordan Pacheco's left shoulder MRI. The Rockies believe it's inflammation caused from swinging during batting practice. He's not expected to play for a few days. … Justin Morneau (stiff neck) is not starting Tuesday. … Reliever Nick Masset remains out of camp after returning home for the birth of a child.

Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton Text During Fashion Show
Are You Text-Obsessed?
by Tech
Like us on Facebook
We all know how I feel about texting during dinner, a movie, or a heartfelt convo, but how acceptable is texting during a (very) public event?
Although this pic of Paris and Nicky Hilton at Fashion Week makes me want to sit them down and give them a lecture in appropriate text behavior, I'm trying to be understanding. Like I've said before, I get the addiction, I just don't get the text dependence. Seriously, if I had a front row seat to check out Pamella Roland's beautiful collection, there wouldn't be a single thing that could tear my eyes from the runway. Except for maybe Nigel Barker there on the left . . .

EhMyGawd! LOL. How Can A Person Become Text Obsessed?? I'd Really Like To Know :)

azh, LOL!
I don't mind texting, actually.. I don't even like my cellphone much. I sound deluded. O.O

I admit, I have a texting problem! :)
OMG Soulight!! A girl texting at MASS? Too much!!
I don't even need to look at my phone while I'm texting anymore... :)
6 years
I'm not obsessed & I don't get it either.
During a fashion show, date, even dinner with friends. One text is fine, saying, "I can't talk right this sec."
But more than that, I think it's rude!
I went out on a first date with a guy. He texted a 2, 3 times through dinner.
Then picked his phone up as soon as it vibrated again! I never went out with him again.
It shows no consideration, in my opinion.
6 years
texting doesn't bother me to the point of annoyance. for the most part, the only time it bugs the crap out of me is when i'm having a conversation with someone and they keep looking at their phone. ugh!

Texting at the show is TOTALLY rude. Were I the model, and I noticed, I'd be pissed, and show it. Save it for between shows, or don't take the front row, brats.
A girl in my area actually got arrested for refusing to stop texting in a HS class. It's gotten BAD.
6 years
I often prefer to text because sometimes being on the phone just drains me...although I'm not texting CONSTANTLY....

I hate to text but I always find myself doing it. But I always turn off my phone for dinner, movies, etc.
6 years
Here is my deal with it, I can not stand when people do it at movies, concerts, places they pay to be at. And then people like Nikki and Paris who get invited to such amazing shows at Fashion week would rather spend time texting people they can talk to after or even probably during. JEEZ people are so selfish!
6 years
I'm not really "obsessed" but I do text alot. With teenagers it's the easiest way to communicate with them. If they're out, I can send a quick "You're going to be late" message that i know they'll see. If I call, they can just ignore me, but I know that THEIR obsession will make them look at the text. LOL
6 years
i'm incredibly ridiculous when it comes to texting. i average 5,000 texts a month.
6 years
I think at loud events, like sports games, then texting is ok. If you were trying to find someone in the crowd, then you wouldn't be able to hear them if you called them. If it's more of a special event, then texting should be avoided.
6 years
I still believe it should be at appropriate places..maybe they were taking pictures and uploading to some website right away :-)

i love texting.
i get excited when i get texts but if im really busy i get annoyed a bit, :oops:
6 years
Yeah... I would be way more interested in chatting up Nigel Barker than texting!
6 years
did it alot more in high school. msn too
now alot of it is web based, email, tweets, facebook or call :)
if i do text it wouldn't be during a conversation, church or a fashion show!!
6 years
I text a whole lot, but only in appropriate situations. If I had front row seats anywhere during Fashion Week, I would do nothing but drool over a collection I could never own, and sit in amazement. Yet, Paris and Nicky get to do these things all the time, and I guess for us more "common" folk, we would act a lot differently.
I don't text at dinner, and I don't text while driving, although I do talk, but to me it's different, I would never text at church.
But, almost all else is fair game. ;)
6 years
I never texted a lot, but had a few habitual texter friends. Best way to rid yourself of it, get rid of the text plan and know that you pay 10 cents (or whatever it is) for every text sent and received.
Habit over. :)

Ignighting dreams...
This 100 second film did more to make a refocus on the new year than anything has in some time. Our world is stealing our dreams, livelihood, careers, sapping our lives from us when I know instinctively G-d is not the stealer of anything. He is the Giver of Life. The past few years have been crushing indeed with many deep losses and scars remain, but even Job did not see his own destruction after years of the worst of suffering. G-d is the eternal balancer of living and life...when the pendulum swings to the horror it must be counteracted with the good, or He is not who we know Him to be.

Response to Sheri (#11)
Saying that G-D does not grant life to those who truly yearn for it is an extremely harsh and strong statement. You really need to think before you make a comment. We cannot understand, predict or begin to contemplate how G-D chooses to run the world. Imagine a movie playing-if you walk in at the middle of the movie...you wont have the faintest idea of what is going on...right? So to with this world. We came into this world in the middle-can we really debate and claim such statements when we, ourselves, are uncertain about so many things? G-D does what He does because the end result will benefit us more than we will ever know. He LOVES us, we are His precious children! That person that may have passed away...I cant say anything-but, if it was a relative of yours-Baruch Dayan Emes.

Life can only be lived one moment at a time
Sherri, you are right but one way to look at this video is that life can only be lived one moment at a time. Each one of us can only be assured of the moment we are living in and the video is saying that it is up to us how we live our lives in that moment. What do you choose to do with that moment. All the best for the new year and may you choose wisely !
(11) Sherri, September 5, 2010 2:31 PM
This is a harmful video
While it is beautifully presented, the idea that G-d grants life to those who truly yearn for it is absolutely false. Many have been buried this year and for all time...."before their time" begging for life. We don't understand God's ways, but putting it this way, can make an unbeliever out of a believer if they are taking this literally and seeing what happens every day in our world.

Words cant do this video justice. It's breathtaking, empowering and inspirational all at once. Most importantly, it's completely and 100% accurate...HASHEM yearns for a connection. We just have to take the first few steps...and He will help us achieve our goal...and live our dream.

Better late than never.
Lindsay Lohan's birthday was July 2, but the "Mean Girls" star was in rehab on that day as part of a 90-day, court-mandated stay.
So, the Lohan family decided to wait till she got out to celebrate. Lohan, who turned 27 last month, posted a collage of pics on Instagram, including those of her grandma and her mom, Dina Lohan, a "Happy Birthday Lindsay" cake and one of her smiling from ear to ear.
Related: Lindsay Lohan Responds to White House 'Mean Girls' Joke
Along with the pics, Lohan wrote, "Belated Birthday to me with @nanasullivan & @dinalohan #lohanhouse :)"
Everyone is dressed down and casual, which goes with Lohan's attempt to turn over a new leaf post rehab.
Out only two weeks, Lohan's landed a role on "Eastbound & Down," hosted an episode of "Chelsea Lately," tweeted at the White House and sat down with Oprah.

As bipolar as we are, the good side of it is that we play well against the better teams. On our good days no one can beat us except Bama and that one has more to do with our 2 schools being so evenly matched. Bama is the only team that can beat us even on our good days and we're the only team that can beat them on their good days. Regardless of what the media says, LSU and Bama are the clear top 2 programs in the country currently. It's not gonna change anytime soon either. Both schools are loaded for the wars of the future and other schools can't do anything about it.

Dubai: This may not be Ana Ivanovic's first time in Dubai, but on Saturday morning, the tennis player told tabloid! it's been one of her most eye-opening visits yet.
In Focus | Dubai Tennis Championships
Ana Ivanovic turns an art connoisseur
Touring the Al Fahidi Historic Neighbourhood, the tennis star admits she has a passion for artistic expression
- Image Credit: Abdel-Krim Kallouche/Gulf News
- Ana Ivanovic at the Al Bastakiya in Dubai.
As a Dubai Duty Free Ambassador, Ivanovic's role is to get the word out about some of Dubai's most popular tourist attractions through promotional video shoots. This year, the DDF Full of Surprises Travel Show brought her to Al Fahidi Historic Neighbourhood in Old Dubai, a quiet getaway previously known as Al Bastakiya.
With its narrow lanes, hole-in-the-wall shops and outdoor galleries, Al Fahidi is one of the oldest Emirati neighbourhoods standing — a slice of traditional Arabic culture. A far cry from the polished and modernistic malls that Ivanovic had become accustomed to, Al Fahidi is characterised by roughly-finished stone floors, unpaved walls with water stains climbing up the bottoms and soaring wind towers that evoke a simpler time.
"Over the years, having come [to Dubai], the changes I've seen have been amazing. So many new buildings — and it's so futuristic. I did my preseason one year here, so I really enjoyed staying at the [One&Only Royal] Mirage with the Venetian feel to it, and the malls are just huge," Ivanovic said. "I feel a little more comfortable around the city, the places I want to see and visit, but there's too many things to do and not enough time — they should [bring us for] two weeks!"
She barely paused to catch her breath between sentences, gesturing nonstop at her surroundings as she spoke. She seemed full of energy and hungry for adventure, which must be helpful attributes for any long-standing athlete.
'The soul of Dubai'
"Then again, these galleries bring out the soul of Dubai," she added. "This was really interesting for me to see today, because I haven't seen this side of Dubai yet. I've seen the souq — I've seen the gold souq — but it's just different [here] with the traditional feel of stuff."
Ivanovic was dressed perfectly for her outdoor adventure. With her dark hair pulled up into a ponytail, she perused the alleyways in a flowing cheetah print skirt, an elegant black blouse and a pair of comfortable but trendy beige sandals. In another world, she could have been doing a high-fashion photo shoot.
Three photographers and a film crew followed her as she did several b-roll takes just walking from point A to point B, smiling at the lens or looking off to the side. Those particular frames didn't give much insight into Ivanovic's personality, but it shone through more naturally when she stopped to take in what the small shops had to offer.
"Gorgeous, it's so nice," she marvelled beneath her breath.
The first store, Royal Saffron, had rows and rows of spices on display outside — ginger root, star anise, chestnuts, cinnamon sticks, dried chili and dates were just some of the many choices up for grabs. The spices were divided up into woven wooden baskets, scratched-up barrels and crates. They were sold alongside old-fashioned knickknacks such as miniature camel statues, mugs moulded into regional caricatures and a variety of hookah pipes.
As Ivanovic ducked closer to inspect each of the spices, she struck up a conversation with a shopkeeper who was oblivious to her superstar status. He asked her where she was from so he could relate some of the spices back to her home country, Serbia.
Inspecting herbs
She seemed to be stowing away this knowledge to be used in practical settings at a later time. When the shopkeeper explained to her the calming impacts of herbs such as sage, for example, Ivanovic laughed and said: "If you have a boyfriend that talks too much, just burn this."
She made several stops at other craft stores. At one, she tried on a few oversized, colourful rings, which in the past were inscribed with family names and used to stamp documents in place of a signature.
"Am I allowed to?" she asked at one point, approaching a spread of soap and daggers. Upon receiving permission, she picked up a few different-sized weapons, pulling the knives out of their sheaths and swinging them around with playful sound effects, a hint of her more youthful side.
After her exploratory jaunt, Ivanovic was taken to Majlis Gallery, a home-cum-art-exhibition with no ceiling to speak for, just a few sheets draped overhead to keep the sun from hitting guests too strongly. She was introduced to artist Trevor Waugh, a UK-based fine artist who's been exhibiting his work in Dubai for over 20 years, and whose current exhibition showing both sides of the city — desert and nightlife — is on until mid-March.
It didn't take long for the two of them to veer off their scripted interactions as they wandered from painting to painting, getting into involved discussions about the secrets behind each piece, and the importance of letting inspiration run its course. Ivanovic was vocal in her admiration of Waugh's soothing use of colour and dream-like techniques in his dusty, overcast oil paintings of sand dunes, dark skies and camels in the desert.
"It's calming, but so powerful," she said. "It's really interesting to see the story behind every artist or the work they do, because I think every piece brings something more — the story and the feel to it, it's nice to understand that."
Latent talents
Did she have any hidden talents herself?
"I love to write. When I read books, I like to write quotes or something like that, but unfortunately, I'm not artistic at all. This is something I wish I was, because these things amaze me and I really appreciate the talent that people have. I wish I could do something like that."
She also confessed, with a coy laugh, that she had been considering getting a few of the pieces from the gallery to hang in her new apartment in Belgrade. She hasn't had time to decorate it and it's still fairly bare, she said, making her keen to pick up a few Waugh originals — even though logistics might be too complex to allow for it.
"I still don't have any artwork yet, I don't have so much time, but I want to take time and make sure I select the right pieces. It'd obviously be a little bit hard to carry, but they're beautiful pieces and they're so, so calming."
Her last encounter of the afternoon was with Khaled Al Sa'ai, one of her biggest fans, and one of the fastest calligraphers in the world. His first exhibition, he told me, had been in 1987. Preparing for her arrival, he mixed yellow, black and red paints to write her name in whimsical letters on white paper, and the intricate piece took him less than a minute to finish.
"I love Ana," he said, admitting that if you looked through his practice portfolio of calligraphic paintings from over the years, you would see her name come up more than once along with some of his other favourite stars. "I've been following her career. I know everything about her."
For her part, Ivanovic was awed as Al Sa'ai painted a new piece for her, watching him closely and saying she loved his methods even if she couldn't paint herself.
"Calligraphy is another thing that really amazes, because to me, it's something impossible. To me, the picture [or paintings] I can sort of relate to, but this is just amazing. There was one piece on the wall in Khaled's exhibition that was just breathtaking. When you look at it, you can just stare at it for hours."
Of course, Ivanovic doesn't have that kind of time. She would be getting into the thick of things as part of the championship in Dubai.
"There are so many strong players and everyone from top is coming. It's a good challenge, because if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best."

Greetings, Urban Goddesses, Glam-mas, Glamazons, and GILFs! Mother's Day approaches. I don't think I've been doing it right, because for me Mother's Day usually involves a visit from the family-- all eleven sons, daughters-in-law, and related offspring, plus a girlfriend, if middle son happens to be dating, a family friend, a stepson, and my honey. We all crowd into my tiny, acoustically challenged house, and talk, laugh, tell stories, hold babies, eat, eat, and eat. There may or may not be a pinata. This is my idea of heaven.
My friends look at me in goggle-eyed amazement... "Don't your kids take you out to dinner?!" Well, actually . . . no, they don't. Isn't that MY job?
On or around my family's special days, I make whatever they want to eat, feed it to them, enjoy their company, and then send them off home with whatever we haven't eaten. I think when the day comes that I don't feel like doing this any more I will know I am old.
So let me ask you . . . what should I be doing on Mother's Day? Let me know what you like to do...

Gilbert Gottfried
Special to CNN
Editor's note: Gilbert Gottfried is a comedian and actor.
(CNN) -- Jonathan Winters was not always in his right mind. I don't mean that only in the showbiz sense, but in the mental health sense. Jonathan, who died Thursday, was a nut as a comic, but also manic depressive and was institutionalized at least once in his life. He was also brilliantly talented. And the combination of his mental troubles and amazing talent made him the legendary performer that he was. He recognized this himself, telling an NPR reporter in 2011, "I need that pain --- whatever it is --- to call upon it from time to time, no matter how bad it was."
That's a common concern for performers when they go into therapy or other treatment; ditto performers who give up drugs and alcohol. They worry: If I don't have that pain, where do I draw my creativity from?
Jonathan needn't have worried. He was a bottomless well of creativity. He was someone who could pick up a paper clip and do three hours of impromptu comedy on it.
I was always a fan of the way he could work without a net. There was a fearless, just crazy attitude about him--of not caring, not being afraid -- that always appealed to me. He influenced me and many other comics.
When you watch Robin Williams, you can see a lot of Jonathan Winters. Robin is the first one to admit that; he worshiped Jonathan Winters. He insisted that Jonathan be written in as a regular on "Mork and Mindy." They wrote him in as an overgrown child, which was perfect casting.
It was natural that Jonathan would get into comedy. He was an only child with divorced parents, a father he said was alcoholic, and he had lots of time alone to make up voices and characters in his room. When Jonathan met his future wife, he had just lost his wristwatch, the story goes. He was upset about this. But then, his wife saw an ad for a talent contest where the first prize was, believe it or not, a wristwatch. She was certain he would win and he did. His career in comedy followed.
I've also heard that when his future wife, Eileen, told her father that she and Jonathan would get married, he gave them an ultimatum: that after a certain period, if Jonathan didn't make it in showbiz, he would have to get a real job to support her. Luckily, he went on to work in radio and later as a stand-up comedian in New York. He made it onto TV, appearing on Jack Paar and Steve Allen's shows and later was in films, like "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World."
He made comedy albums that won Grammys and eventually also won an Emmy for a sitcom, in 1991. One bit he did was "Jonathan's Attic" where he was put in a room with a bunch of odds and ends, props, wigs, etc., and he was left to his own devices. He always could pick up anything and turn it into comedy.
Once I was appearing on a television show that Jonathan was appearing on, too. That was the first and only time, sadly, that I met him. He saw me, recognized me and invited me to come into his dressing room and sit down. He then started talking, no rhyme nor reason to any of it, but it was all funny. He would tell sad stories about his life and you'd start laughing. He told me, for example, that his father drilled it into his head to save his money and not fool around with women. "And now," he said, pointing to himself, "I have no money,"-- and then, pointing downward toward his crotch, "and Mr. Pencil doesn't work."
Every now and then, I would get tired and start drifting off. Jonathan would snap his fingers at me and go, "Come back Gilbert. Are you zoning out there?" And then immediately, he'd have me laughing again.
In a TV interview I saw not long ago, Cheech Marin spoke about how he lived near Jonathan Winters and would always see him in the supermarket. He'd be walking up and down the aisles, doing voices, shtick and talking to himself. Cheech would wait a little while, then go over to him and say, "Jonathan, I think it's time to just buy something and leave."
I found out about Jonathan Winters' death a day after it happened. That seems wrong. A talent like his should be more revered. The world knew about Kim Kardashian's divorce before she did. But Jonathan seems to have been forgotten. Well, I can only speak for myself, but I certainly will never forget him.

Just a lit fuse in the back of the pews
Watching a thousand flavors of the same God feud
I figure ultimate-peace is the common theme
So its a no-brainer "peace" when the blood hit the screen
from Aesop Rock – Holy Smokes Lyrics on Genius
Watching from the sideline (no dog in the religious fight), Aes watches these religions that are substantially similar sweat the small stuff to the point of holy war. Figuring that is as far from what the religions claim to express as possible, he reacts by abandoning all of the above. Peace

Chile miners have country rallying around hope of rescue
Up and down the capital of Santiago, drivers honked their horns as news emerged that the 33 trapped Chile miners remain alive. Helping the miners persevere mentally may now be the greatest task, as rescue efforts could stretch to Christmas.
Hector Retamal/AP
Santiago, Chile, and Mexico City
From the president to the produce vendors, Chile is rallying as rescue workers embark on what could be a months-long attempt to save 33 miners already trapped for 17 days in a copper mine.
The discovery Sunday that the men were still alive elated Chileans. Up and down the capital of Santiago, drivers honked their horns as news emerged over car radios that the men have been huddled in a 500-sq.-ft. refuge some 2,300 feet underground since rock collapsed around them on Aug. 5.
"I cried with happiness. I had thought they were all dead," says Jessica Marambio, who sells candy from a street kiosk in Santiago, adding that she will continue praying for their safety.
IN PICTURES: Chile mine collapse
People from across the world's No. 1 copper-producing nation have reached out to the anxious families. From the nearby coast, fishermen presented freshly caught fish to anxious family members outside the mine in Copiapo, 500 miles north of Santiago. Roman Catholic Church masses on Sunday reflected on the unfolding events, and on Saturday a Catholic youth progression began with a moment of silence for the men.

LifeVantage Announces Results Of Protandim(R) Study On Oxidative Stress Presented At Experimental Biology Conference
SALT LAKE CITY, May 1, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LifeVantage Corporation (Nasdaq:LFVN), a company dedicated to helping people achieve healthy living through a combination of a compelling business opportunity and scientifically validated products, announced today that its most recent study on Protandim was presented at the 2014 Experimental Biology Conference held April 26-30, in San Diego, California.
Experimental Biology is an annual meeting attended by more than 14,000 scientists. The theme at the annual meeting of professional research scientists was "Transforming the Future through Science." Researchers from Colorado State University presented a study entitled Oxidative Stress is Decreased with Short-Term Protandim Use. The placebo-controlled double-blind study supplemented 33 overweight/obese adults, ages 45-69 for 30-days with LifeVantage's Protandim formula currently sold in Japan. Results indicated a significant reduction in markers of oxidative stress in subjects receiving this Protandim formulation.
Dr. Shawn Talbott, LifeVantage Chief Science Officer commented, "We are pleased to see clinical studies involving our unique products. This research will be added to our large and growing portfolio of scientific studies and builds on the growing collection of evidence supporting Nrf2 activation and oxidative stress reduction associated with Protandim. In addition, this study demonstrates that both of our formulations of Protandim are potent oxidative stress reducers. This allows us to offer people a powerful Nrf2 activator and oxidative stress reduction product in most jurisdictions."
Abstracts of the conference can be found at the Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology: Rebecca Scalzo, Janelle Davis, Joseph Beals, Laurie Biela, Gregory Giordano, Hunter Paris Benjamin Miller, Karyn Hamilton, and Christopher Bell, (2014) Oxidative stress is decreased with short-term Protandim use when piperine is substituted for ashwagandha (LB399) FASEB J April 28:LB399. http://www.fasebj.org/gca?allch=&submit=Go&gca=fasebj%3B28%2F1_Supplement%2FLB399 About LifeVantage Corporation LifeVantage Corporation (Nasdaq:LFVN), a leader in Nrf2 science and the maker of Protandim (®, the Nrf2 Synergizer ® patented dietary supplement, TrueScience TM Anti-Aging Skin Care Regimen with enhanced Nrf2 technologies, and LifeVantage ® Canine Health, is a science based network marketing company.

Harry James Orchestra — Green Onions (1965).
What's on your mind?
Late Late Night FDL: Green Onions |
By: Suzanne Tuesday August 16, 2011 10:00 pm |
Harry James Orchestra — Green Onions (1965).
What's on your mind?
Aloha, Suz and LLN pups, from atop Mauna Kea…! ;-)
aloha tut — how's paradise tonight?
Soggy at sea level, but clear as a bell above all those clouds…! ;-)
i had a wonderful sunshiney day here – was breezy on the bay but not so bad tucked into the hillside along the cove
hi newton! how ya doing tonight?
Hi Suzanne.
This feels so appropriate to the Obama administration. I almost forgot about this tune.
Very well, thanks. It's a bit close in these parts tonight. We could use some of that breeze you're bragging about.
hey vmt — how ya doing tonight? i've not listened to the dead kennedys in a while… thanks for reminding me to do so :)
Oh, I'm drinking some beer tonight. Glad you're doing well Suz.
tis a dayam cold one at night dood — token saved a tree a wee bit ago and i was shivering. at night it feels like fall but i am happy to report that the day did not
Foggy an' verrry cool here in the cool, gray city of love.
My next scheduled nite is next Tuesday, but, I think I'll be up one more nite sometime between now and then…!
hey mikey — how ya doing tonight? sounds like the typical summer in sf :) i used to love to fall asleep to the sound of the foghorns in the summers back when i was living in the richmond district in the early 70′s. i associate foghorns with summer for that very reason
fingers and toes crossed that there is dood — how's the little mama doing tonight?
Second year in a row we're not getting a summer. But the shadows of fog today made wonderful designs over everything.
i've not really had one up here either. portland still hasn't had a day in the 90′s this year. weather doods are predicting that this is going to be another la nina year
pretty good, thanks — any baby news from paradise tonight?
I talked to them from Hale Pohaku, everything's fine so far…!
Beer? Ah yeah, well I'm out now, but it was Stella. Now I'm just relaxing. Thinking about finding some Star Trek episode to watch on Netflix.
My day was fine, but it wasn't cool.
On edit: it was hot enough to not walk the dog until 11 p.m.
Aloha, PPD, none yet…! I think he'll hang around until the end of August…!
Didja ever discover East Brother Light Station Bed & Breakfast? I just found it out on a recent Bay cruise, and it's like half a San Francisco block plopped down from New England, a tiny island with a white picket fence. Who knew?
is that the bed and breakfast on the island over by the richmond/san rafael bridge? i saw an evening magazine on it back years ago — always wanted to go stay there
Actually, it was a nice change. We got to listen to frogs and toads rather than road noise.
just as long as everyone's doing well, he can pop whenever he's ready
When I think of Bed and Breakfasts I always think of the one in Point Reyes. I always seem to run into it when I go there.
yay! i love listening to the sounds of birds during the day and frogs and crickets at night
You're a ex-Navy guy, right? I was on the Jeremiah O'Brien and we spent a day touring the 'Ghost Fleet.' Amazing. I saw the USS Iowa, which is with the mothball fleet up there (most ships headed for scrap in Texas). Geez, I'm no war-monger, but it's a capital ship that'd be fun to see at the Wharf as an attraction. The sentiments here seem to run the other way, so there is confliction.
I haven't had bleu cheese in Point Reyes, but the next time I'm there I'll make sure to ask for it.
Yep, that's the place. I never knew it was there. A launch takes you to the island (about 10 mins.). But it's not really cheap…nothing here is!
last i heard it was over $200/night and that was a long time ago — way outta my price range. but can ya just imagine how cool it would be to stay there?
Last comment a'fore I slink away: remember Dusty Springfield singing "Breakfast In Bed"? Great song….
mikey, scroll up — i linked it a few comments ago (#40)
Their blue cheese potato salad recipe is the bomb, regardless of what blue cheese you use.
*heh* Sorry, sf, I was Army, not Navy…! They have the Mighty Mo docked by the Arizona Memorial and turned it into a museum…! It's pretty cool to have the two bookends of WWII together, the sinking of the Arizona, being one, and the Missouri being the ship the Tojo signed the Surrender on…!
Cool. Thanks. Last time I was in Point Reyes an old friend of mine took me to Manka's, before it was damaged by fire, for an amazing meal with some mind blowing wine. Good times.
Another Buddy anyone? The great Buddy Emmons.
hey ondelette — how ya doing tonight? that's a sweet song
If you like wine as well, do you know about wine woot? They are currently having a woot-off, so you may want to revisit, and familiarize yourself with the place in a day or two.
Evening/Morning all. Thanks for the HJ clip. It soothed my tired and battered soul after a day in the pits. I'll be back. :)
I don't know how you linked to Dusty Springfield seconds before me, but you're amazing!
hey tnp — glad ya enjoyed it. hows your neck of the woods tonight?
welcome to late late night :)
i just thought of the same song as you did about the same time – it was a natural since we were talking b&b's
I swear she's psychic or something…! ;-)
I don't have a Buddy Emmons, but I'm stuck on this one.
In the cooler months, they offer "foodie" type stuff too, including some killer cheeses.
I lived there at Hospital Point in Pearl Harbor. Saw the USS Arizona. Don't forget the USS Utah, and……
That's great. It's funny because I actually really love good cheese. I'll have to remember it for one of those days I can actually splurge on some good eats. I only had the privilege of eating at Manka's because my friend knew the owners and asked me to go along.
One of my all time favorite jazz tunes, mainly for the rim shot in the middle of the tune.
We were mighty lucky that fateful day, that all our flattops were out to sea, otherwise, they'd have ended up at the bottom of Pearl Harbor too…! 8-(
Hey suz, et al!
That B&B sounds fab.
Pure cheese.
hey sunny — how ya doing? here's a link to it
Very nice, Suz, but waay too white bread.
Booker T, Steve Cropper, Larry Steinberg, and MOTOWN
Loved Ella. Sassy, too. (Although they always said Sarah Vaughan was as good as Ella, no one ever had to say Ella was as good as Sarah Vaughan. No disrespect; loved them both.)
Saw a short video of Frank Sinatra with Ella. (I think this was his Capitol years era, when he was still good.) But he acted like a jackass, when it should've been a musical summit.
Once in awhile we all need to splurge.
hey glackin — how ya doing tonight? booker t is in a class all by himself
Well, it's about time for me to start to suit up for my first shift…! I'm stoked, they had sent them all to the cleaners since the last run, I had to remove all the plastic wrapping from it…! ;-)
stay warm dood — we'll leave a light on for ya
Couldn't agree more. I just had a splurge last week so I'm planning the next one. It could very well involve copious amounts of cheese.
Suz !
Hot Day, terrific evening in Toronto … the kind of day you remember when it's frizzin' cold in Jan-Feb ! *g*
My pleasure. Glad you liked it. :-)
Thanks for the link… really, really nice. Gonna scout around the site. Perhaps dinner is included in the price…
Hot and stormy here..
Night. Pleasant dreams. I'm going to head off to bed myself. Night all.
hey petro — how ya doing tonight?
i would hope so what with it being the only thing on the island… i imagine myself lounging on the front lawn watching the ships go back and forth on the bay while hearing the waves lap against the rocks… as the sun slowly sets behind the golden gate
hey margot — how's ohio tonight?
Newt! Margot !
I'm stoked, Suz … India is rising up against tyranny and avarice !
congrats on snagging the happy lucky 100 petro!!!
I never thought I'd say this, but can we bring Larry King back ?
*wOOt* ! I got Gretzky's "99″ !
*shrudder* but then again, they haven't gotten rid of the murdoch-tainted piers morgen – yet
Passing Irish Coffees around in celebration …
Your parents must be so proud.
thanks dood…. extra irish in mine please
Wazzup, my friend ? Are you still at the same number ?
I am, the same and only one I have had for about 10 years now.
And since I'm all over the map, isn't it nice of Herman Cain to show that he can be as batshit crazy as any other ReThug …
thanks babe…. how goes your summer?
'kay … you might get a "surprise" call next week … not from Gretzky ! *g*
Yep, appears b'fast and dinner are included in the price. More reasonable in light of that. You've gotta stay two nights before you're allowed to shower.
Love them quirky places!
Petro, I fear it may not be long before the information-starved will pine for the wit and cogency of Glen Beck.
i didn't notice that…. quirky indeed
Summer has been fantastic, after a very, very rainy Spring. Lots of hot, sunny days and pleasant evenings … iow, poifect BBQ weather !
This boy doesn't pick up the phone for less than a grand.
Oh that was nice, newton, thanks!
I know right … you know when you're in trouble when O'Loofa is your voice of reason …
I'll be sure to remember that …
*cough* … or you could just jump in the water … *g*
Sunny !
Ohio is still here. We're having these afternoon brief but powerful rainstorms with lots of sound and fury.
I was getting kinda worried that there wasn't a Tancredo-type whackjob vying to be the Republican nominee, but thankfully Mr. Goodhair is here !
Do you see anyone else joining this Band of Despots, for our entertainment ?
When dub'ya was the President, I was as certain as I could be that no matter who succeeded him, they would not repel me from the television when he or she was speaking, would not dissuade me from close analysis of the policy positions the administration put out, and would at least not have stupefying weakness at the core of his or her being.
I am not the person you want to take to the track.
steph's up in wyoming and says they are having afternoon thunderstorm warnings all week
Brilliant summation, my friend !
I love thunderstorms rolling across the prairie. The sky is huge!
hey openhope — how's the sound tonight? they are magnificent — all that sky changing all kinda colors – so wild
And the powerful air of electricity that just hums. I miss those.
the best thunderstorm i saw was in montana and i watched it come across the valley towards us… was magnificent.
strangest was one in new mexico that had blowing sand and the rain looked yellow
tis about time for me to turn back into a pumpkin peeps. thanks for letting me hang out with ya tonight.
g'nite all
Sweet dreams,Suzanne.
Thanks for being a great host.
G'nite Suz & everyone !
Sorry I didn't get back. Loved the Harry James, but that song belongs to Booker T. and the Two Jewish kids from DEEtroit.
I laugh my ass off when I tell people Motowm and Stax/Volt were Booker T., Steve Cropper, and first Larry Steinberg, then "Duck" Dunn. Sometimes my black friends are more shocked than the white ones. I tell them, "music has no color, just shades of blue."
I was told that by Albert King, a pretty good blues guitarist
Anybody still around…? We're gazing at our Galactic(Milky Way) center tonite, In particular, the Black hole that comprises it…! ;-)
thanks kaishuias — glad ya like it

Offbeat Key West
Western Caribbean
> Offbeat Key West
Key West is a funky, fabulous cruise destination. While first-timers should do the tourist thing -- get their bearings on a Conch Train tour, visit the Hemingway Home and museum, have a drink at one of Hemingway's favorite bars, Sloppy Joe's, enjoy a "Floribbean" lunch at Mangoes and watch the daily sunset celebration at Mallory Square -- next-timers can venture off to explore an insider's view of the Conch Republic.
The Southernmost Point of the continental U.S., where Route 1 dials down to Mile Zero, offers an astounding number of sights, hot spots and only-in-Key West attractions. Here are 10 of our favorite things that never get old, no matter how often we visit.
Banana Café
(1215 Duval, 305-294-7227) is a sweet French bistro known for its crepes and wine menu. They serve "Breakfast/Lunch" daily from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and dinner from 6 p.m. Monday through Sunday (Tuesday through Saturday in the summer). It's also in the quieter, refined portion of Duval Street, next to art galleries and specialty shops. The two-story building, two blocks from the Atlantic Ocean, is the birthplace of famous Key West folk artist Mario Sanchez.
Key Westers love their ice cream and often head to
Flamingo Crossing
(1105 Duval, 305-296-6124), where local flavors include Mango, Sour Sop/Guanabana, Key Lime and Cuban Coffee. Gelatos include a few liquor-infused treats like Rum Runner and Chocolate Amaretto, and frozen yogurt and non-dairy sorbets are also on the menu. Enjoy your treat outside in the garden or as you stroll the quieter side of upper Duval. Fun fact: The building next door, 1107 Duval Street, was originally a home built from salvaged materials from a World War I blimp hangar.
Garden of Eden
(224 Duval 305-296-4565), above the Bull & Whistle Bar, is Key West's clothing-optional rooftop bar. Yes, we mean naked, but the bartender will give you a towel upon request. Venture up the stairs to the garden at the building's top, and hope there are people there worth seeing in the buff. Be aware that photos are not allowed, and the policy is strictly enforced. The bar opens daily at 10 a.m. If the setting doesn't suit your tastes, the Bull is always right below.
There is a long list of galleries in the tiny arts mecca of Key West, but, for something different, check out
Hands On
(1206 Duval, 305-296-7399), where all of the art is ready to wear. The shop, inside one of the island's iconic "Conch" houses, sells distinctive wearable art in clothing, accessories and jewelry.
It stands out as the towering, red-brick historic building on the waterfront. And if you venture inside the beautifully restored Custom House, built in 1891, you'll also find the
Key West Museum of Art & History
(281 Front Street, 305-295-6616), with its two floors of exhibitions that stitch together 200 years of history, art, people and events. Collections include Mario Sanchez's vivid, painted woodcarvings of his childhood memories, Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad and Hemingway's life and legacy in Key West. There's a small admission fee for both children and adults.
When Ernest Hemingway first came to Key West in 1928, it was to buy a car. He stayed at what is now known as
Casa Antigua
(314 Simonton Street at Caroline, 305-292-9955), one of the island's first hotels that catered to folks who'd traveled to the island to buy a car -- and wound up waiting for it. It had a Ford dealership on the ground floor. Hemingway and his wife Pauline ended up staying two weeks and falling in love with the seaport town; the author finished "A Farewell to Arms" inside one of the rooms. To get inside, you have to enter the gift shop known as Pelican Poop, where you can tour the property for a small fee. Casa Antigua is also where the awards are presented in the annual Lorian Hemingway Short Story competition, named after and directed by Hemingway's granddaughter.
-- islandese for Key West natives -- want a quick lunch, they stop by
5 Brothers Grocery and Sandwich Shop
(930 Southard Street, 305-296-5205). Try a Cuban Mix: cold cuts of sweet ham on grilled bread with pickles with a side of Yuka fries. The store is in the residential neighborhood of Old Town, but it's worth every step off the beaten path. Buy a sandwich or a Cafe con Leche, strong espresso coffee with steamed milk, and sit outside on one of the benches to watch the real Key West saunter by.
Sure, Duval Street is full of bars, but if you want to drink like a local, go to the
Green Parrot
(601 Whitehead Street, 305-294-6133). Just a few blocks away from Duval, this open-air tropical saloon opened in 1890 and remains a Key West icon where everyone is welcomed, as long as they adhere to the bar's official motto: "No Snivelling." The jukebox is a treasure chest, featuring bluesmen like B.B. King and John Lee Hooker. There's live music on weekends and some weeknights, and there's never a cover charge. It's open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 a.m. Happy hour is daily from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
This tropical island takes pride in natural beauty, and nowhere is that more evident than inside the
Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory
(1316 Duval St., 305- 296-2988). Visit hundreds of the breathtaking and winged creatures, along with exotic birds, cascading waterfalls and trees, all under a climate-controlled glass-enclosed habitat. The newest residents are a pair of young flamingos. It's open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. There's a small admission fee for children and adults.
One of Key West's most affordable eateries is the
Cuban Coffee Queen
(284 Margaret Street, 305-294-7787), where breakfast and lunch are served daily from 6:30 a.m.to sunset, right in the heart of the island's historic seaport. Try the Mojo roasted pork on a sandwich named after Jose Marti or a classic Cuban Mix. They offer a host of coffee selections, from traditional Cafe con Leche to Bucci (espresso shots) and iced coffees. They encourage you to dip their Pan Cubano -- warm, buttered, pressed Cuban bread -- into the brew. The little building is known for its "Greetings from Key West" postcard mural that takes up one wall.

This colorful slaw is a fresher and faster version of the classic German long-cooked red cabbage. We serve it with pork, but it also makes a nice cool-weather side with simply cooked chicken or steak.
Sunset DECEMBER 2010
1. Heat oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Season pork chops with 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper. Cook, turning once, until browned but still slightly pink in center, 5 minutes total. Transfer to a plate, tent with foil, and let rest.
2. Melt butter in the same pan. Cook cabbage, bell pepper, onion, apple, and carrots until just starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Mix in vinegar, sugar, and remaining 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper. Serve with pork chops.
Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.

Cinnamon Tuxedo Vests
The key to keeping your formal wardrobe interesting is to spice it up every now and again. For some men, that means infusing it with a shot of color; for others though, well, they might take that a little more literally, especially if they're familiar with our collection of men's cinnamon tuxedo vests. Set apart from our other brown formal vests by an enriching, warm shade the color, each of these cinnamon vests is uniquely capable of adding a little heat and a lot of flavor to your formal ensemble.
Wear one to warm up black, add another dimension to brown, or bring an extra oomph to a tuxedo of any other color; whichever you choose, it will look smashing.
