Sunflower, 5.9, 8 Pitches Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
Date Climbed: Nov 7, 2009
|Beulah's Book to Sunflower link-up (as recommended) with Jascha. Perfect for an early Nov day. Did the arete variation to avoid having to bring 4" cam. Overall, nice mix of face and crack. IMHO the crux was the 5.9 curving crack (pitch 5 on Dow's description) due to the less secure feeling I get on the softer white sandstone. As usual I ignored the recommendation for a second set of cams, which would have been nice on the 5.9 lieback (pitch 2). Fortunately, I found a small horn on the face to tie off. I didn't find the pod very obvious on pitch 7 and ended up running out the rope instead.
After reading Handren's estimation of 3-4 hours to descend via raps down Solar Slab and Solar Slab Gully and the reasonably high likelihood of getting a rope stuck while rapping, we decided to take the Solar Slab (mostly) walk-off descent. This took 2:20 including the time it took to ascend the several hundred feet to the large shoulder that leads to the rap stations into Painted Bowl.

|3rd time...with Pat below. Helped another team find this route the following day, they liked the 4th pitch the most. They are both pretty good pitches. Best route on the upper wall that goes to the top. Arch Enemy is my new favorite though.

|I really liked pitch 2 on this route. Although if the crack were a bit steeper I would have liked it even more. Above pitch 2 we could see deep into Oak Creek Canyon and all the snow from the recent storms. Even the north facing walls on the south side of the canyon were iced up.

|With young Joe. Great day, only one other party all day long back in the Solar Slab area. I had done Horndogger to Sundog to the right. Later Stacy and I did Johnny Vegas in the middle and noticed these dudes having a great time on Beulah's Book. So Joe and I combined Beulah's Book and Sunflower above for a perfect day of climbing (8 long pitches). So far, Beulah's Book (because of that stellar 2nd pitch, I led the arete variation) and Sunflower are my favorite combination for this area. Sunflower had 3 outstanding pitches on it, the 2 5.9's and the 5.8. The arete over to the lie back on that 2nd pitch of Beulah's was a fantastic pitch as well for the grade (5.9).

11-10-2008: Home For The Harvest - Music For Thanksgiving
Nature's abundance — this is what harvest festivals around the world have celebrated from time immemorial. But America's great harvest festival, Thanksgiving, celebrates something else besides. Ever since Pilgrim newcomer and native Wampanoag sat together at a common table in the fall of 1621, Thanksgiving has been a reminder of our deep connection to family, friends, neighbors and (as the Founding Fathers would put it) Nature's God.
This special Thanksgiving album is intended as a musical companion to our multifaceted feast day, featuring works by some of our country's most lauded composers, from hither and yon across the states and the decades. Some of their contributions are instrumental, others vocal. Some are symphonic excerpts, others dance tunes, spirituals or hymns. Some gleam with the burnish of the early 1800s, while even those of more recent date have the soft, rich rustle of nostalgia about them. Click here to purchase a copy from our friends at Arkivmusic

Xuefei Yang was the first guitarist to graduate from Beijing's Central Conservatory of Music. She then went to London's Royal Academy of Music and became the first Chinese classical guitarist to study in the West. Gramophone Magazine picked this CD as their "Editor's Choice" disc in July, saying "this is one of the most satisfying and well thought-out classical guitar programmes I've heard in a long while, and not just because its musical trajectory is so beautifully managed; Yang's playing exhibits that kind of subtle intelligence that makes even the most disparate elements seem effortlessly to cohere."

10-13-2008: Jonathan Biss, Mozart: Piano Concerto No 21 & 22
"What Jonathan Biss writes about Mozart in the recording's booklet is so inspired, so just, that I was biased in his favour before hearing a note. His performance, as soloist and as the director of the excellent Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, in no way disappoints. These are outstanding interpretations, the interplay of soloist and orchestra that of equals in complete sympathy, the contrasting character of the two concertos and the constant changes of mood within each work felt and communicated with delight and impeccable judgement. Biss's cadenzas, too, are well judged, as is his ornamentation – not imposed on the music, but springing naturally out of it. Interestingly, he hardly decorates the C major's magical andante at all – which, if not correct, seems to me absolutely right." Click here to purchase this CD from our partners at Arkivmusic.com.
10-07-2008: The Cistercian Monks Of Stift Heiligenkreuz, Chant
Chant, is the most peaceful music imaginable. Chant: Music for the Soul, is the ultimate in relaxation and stress relief - the perfect antidote to our fast-moving modern world. Chant has proven to heal, calm and also give strength; its power is timeless and universal. CHANT: MUSIC FOR THE SOUL is resonant, celestrial music with one foot in traditional Gregorian chant and another in heaven. The texts are derived from the traditional liturgy in Latin, but the singing is freer and more organic than some traditional Gregorian chants. Solemn, otherworldly, and extremely beautiful, these hypnotic pieces will transport anyone with a predisposition toward traditional Christian chanting, but may also appeal to anyone with an ear for textured, layered vocal work.

09-29-2008: Midori, The Essential Midori
It's hard to believe that it's been 20 years since the teenage phenom Midori dazzled audiences around the world with her first recording with Pinchas Zukerman. Her art has grown and blossomed over these last 20 years and Sony has compiled 19 stellar performances on this 2 CD set. This week on KVOD, we pay tribute to the great violinist Midori.

09-22-2008: Simone Dinnerstein
Dinnerstein chose this program because of how the pieces speak to each another, and because of their relationship to the music of Bach. "My hope with this concert was to program a group of pieces that would contrast with and relate to each other, despite being separated by hundreds of years," she explains. "So much music written since Bach has been influenced by him, and the Beethoven and the Lasser recorded here are no exceptions. Philip Lasser's variations on the very dark Bach chorale, Nimm von uns, Herr, du treuer Gott (Take from us, Lord, Thou faithful God), draw on Bach's intense and meditative side. Lasser's writing is intricately crafted and encompasses a range of styles, from a contrapuntal energy reminiscent of Bach, to French Impressionism and even jazz. Beethoven's Opus 111 sounds surprisingly contemporary in this company. The first movement looks ahead to Liszt and the second movement, with its set of variations on a chorale-like arietta, looks back to Bach and !
ahead to jazz. All three works are densely layered, but also have a sense of freedom and directness of expression. Though they span almost 300 years, in many ways, to me, they each feel grounded in the present."

Venice in winter 02/09 trip
Posted 19 February 2009 - 04:19 AM
As it turned out my relationship with the city far outlasted the one with her. I was and remain enthralled by this city. I was fortunate to be able to visit frequently during the '80s while I was living in Austria. I moved back to the US in1990 and took a 14 year hiatus mostly due to having taken a great many financial steps backward when I returned to California. Nothing like a recession to put the brakes on any number of plans. Fast forward to 2004 when I returned to Venice with my wife Carrie for a little over a week- since then we've been back three times and will endeavor to do so for the foreseeable future.
We booked this trip mid December since we had cash to pay for it and it seems that this is a great time to travel assuming one has steady income and the means to pay for it. The fact that we are here during Carnivale is purely accidental; we just looked at our calendars and picked a window that worked out for us both. Generally speaking I avoid this period like the plague since the omnipresent tipsy tourist lunacy is only magnified this time of year. Still, Winter is my absolute favorite time to visit Venice.
Our last stay unexpectedly was in an apartment (the hotel said "you are here for 10 days why not stay in one of our apartments?"). Tough choice- small hotel room with iffy hot water vs. a 2 bedroom apartment with a full kitchen and an altana, a sort of rooftop deck/balcony that I believe is peculiar to Venice. Obviously a no-brainer to take the apartment. That trip was fantastic despite the fact that we kind of lost track of what day it was and managed to miss our flight home altogether. So we had a "bonus" day to enjoy which cost us 1,200 Euro each in airfare plus an extra night in the apartment. Worth every penny really! (ouch)
The apartment we had last time was unavailable but adding "apartment" as a search criteria on expedia worked out just fine (more on that later).
I've decided to put an account of this trip up mostly because I've been dying to write about Venice for years and hopefully won't bore you all to death with my ramblings. I'll probably not be posting on real time instead updating every couple of days as time allows. There will be a few pictures; few if any *in* restaurants most taken with my Iphone which is a blessing and a curse- the camera is low res and sometimes has interesting artifacts due, I believe, to slow shutter speed. I'll be tweeting as well- feel free to look me up on twitter (jonsavage).
I'll also be not naming names for the most part as far as eating/drinking establishments are concerned. I'm a firm believer in the "figure it out as you go" school of thought and feel that targeting one place over another without foreknowledge unselfearned is folly. Instead I prefer a random walk stopping only where a place "calls out" to me.
Screwy logic at best I know. Still this has served me well for a bit and applies even to where myself and friends from work have lunch. Think beginners mind and you'll be on the right track.
Thanks for reading; any EG folk that might be in the neighborhood please also feel free to give me a shout via PM if you want to grab an umbra or whatever with us (usual disclaimers and EG legalese apply).
Day 1 13-14 Feb (lost 8 hours in transit).
0300 wake up – off to freaking work but glad to have a job especially in this economy.
1000 Carrie picks me up in a taxi and off to LAX we go, Free at last!
LAX is showing its age. The last major renovations I recall happened in preparation for the 1984 Olympics so traffic and passenger volumes are increased straining what infrastructure is there. I hate flying not due to fear but rather as a result of not being able to move around much for 10+ hours at a stretch.
We go checked in with mercifully short lines. Maybe Friday the 13th is a good day to fly or perhaps the current recession is really making a difference as far as discretionary travel is concerned. We did a little duty-free shopping and were happy to discover that there was Udon available in the int'l terminal. While not haute cuisine it certainly represents a refreshing alternative to most other airport food.
We found free wireless at LAX as well and duly got our last EZ internet fix for the next 2 weeks. Internet access in Venice is spotty at best but is improving (more on that later). 2 or three cocktails later we grabbed a quick smoke and braved our way through security. This line was also the shortest I've experienced since 9/11. The TSA folks were actually really friendly (is that a good thing?) and after a brief crisis when the conveyer belt inside the scanner thingie ate my wife's glasses we were finally on our way.
The flight itself was uneventful and boring in the extreme. We arrived in Frankfurt with almost 2 hours to spare and were pleased to find Camel sponsored smoking spots (sort of like a well ventilated aquarium). Nicotine fix resolved we went through passport control and got tagged for excess cigarettes to the tune of 3.80 Euro/pack. Good thing he did not look in my carrry on bag 'cos the cigars nesteled in it would have probably gotten expensive as well. We found our gate and grabbed another smoke prior to boarding.
Those smoking booths are kind of odd in that there is a very subdued atmosphere in them with very little if any conversation taking place. I felt tempted to ape a monkey in a glass cage but (fortunately) my wife suggested that that would probably not be a good idea. Still the temptation to do so remains strong; perhaps I will be able to get away with such behavior in a few more years when I reach a certain age. :) in any case the atmosphere in the cubes was funereal at best (puns intended).
We arrived at VCE right on time, no more passport controls oddly enough, and made our way to the water taxis/Alilaguna. The Alilaguna service runs frequently and runs around 13 Euro, quite the bargain as compared to the motoscarfi where the going rate is 95 Euro. We like the Alilaguna as we can ease our way back into the city with hardly a ripple. The weather was beautiful in the way that only a Venetian Winter can have.
Approaching Venice.
Eventually we arrived at Arsenale where we were to meet the apartment person at 1630. When we reserved the apartment the language was non-specific, only allowing us to choose the general area it would be in and also some amenities. We chose Castello because that district is a little less crazy than say San Marco or San Polo and generally seems more sane and down to earth. We'd stayed there before as well so had a reasonable comfort level re: getting around, supermarkets bars etc. as well.
1630 came and went. No sign of our apartment contact. A few minutes later my phone rang and it turned out Giulia was at the other Arsenale stop. We sorted ourselves out and walked to the apartment which was just 50m away. The stairs were a bit of a challenge after having been awake for 28 hours;– the apartment is on the 3rd floor (2nd for american readers) – the stairs are a straight excruciatingly steep shot. Coming home twisted or leaving the apartment even slightly tipsy for that matter is clearly not a safe option unless we wish to test the limits of our health insurance. Imagine a gangway up the side of a container ship at high tide and you get the idea.
The apartment itself is lovely. 4 burner stove with adequate BTUs to do the job and a nice externally vented hood. A dishwasher (why?) but no oven. Guess I'll be braising rather than roasting this trip.
Some apt. rental paperwork completed we took a quick inventory of what was on hand in the flat and ventured out to buy some groceries before the stores closed for the day. Markets are generally closed on Sunday's here so this was a fairly important task. My knife roll made the trip intact so +1 to luck.
We headed down a random street; a few moments later we were at the coop market I knew from our last trip and stocked up on a few essentials (Havana Club Anejo Riserva (a rare and illegal treat for US citizens), pasta, coffee, bread, cheese, Vino Novello (kinda late I know but I love this wine and it was on sale, garlic, eggs and some assorted salumi to tide us over until Monday. On the way back I noticed a new bulk wine store where wine is very nearly cheaper than water. At 2 Euro on average per liter they have several varieties of very passable table wines. Apropos table wine- don't discount the 1-2 Euro tetra pack per liter stuff until you've tried it. Yet another reason to love this place.
Funny thing is I get lost everywhere but in Venice. I'm capable of losing my way while on the way home from work just a 3.7 mile drive but here I never do. Odd since I don't lose my way in the one place I really should. To balance that out my wife never loses her way at home frequently runs into a spot of bother here. Go figure.
We were both starting to feel wiped out and grabbed a bite at a place on on the waterfront right by the Aresnale vaporetto stop. The food was OK but not memorable but then again it was not the sort of place we'd normally eat at and it certainly fulfilled its purpose. We fell into bed and I hoped that having been awake for the better part of 30 hours would ensure that I'd not be up at 0 dark thirty and wandering the streets as I am wont to do here. Don't get me wrong I love wandering around when the city is asleep but sleep is a good thing.
More to follow tomorrow. I'm already 4 days behind (writing this on the afternoon of 18 Feb.).

How is the flood situation in Venice?
Posted 20 February 2009 - 04:27 AM
The flooding ls largely seasonal. Oct-Nov-December generally the worst and only then when there's a high high tide in conjunction with the wind blowing the wrong direction. This can be further worsened by a low pressure system over the area.
Sounds like a great start to the trip. I know what you mean about the smoking booths -- I was happy to find one after flying all day -- but it was a bit strange.

Posted 20 February 2009 - 04:42 AM
We woke up to a beautiful morning at a reasonable hour.
We had a minor crisis with the mokapot which was missing its screen but cowboy coffee is better than
no coffee. I made us a few eggs and checked mail on my phone. I also threw the mokapot part in my bag since parts are generally available.
The view from our Loggia:
As it turned out A., a friend I had not seen in over 20 years was able to come and meet us in Venice later that afternoon. We agreed to meet by Arsenale later in the day.
Fortified with excellent eggs (Italian eggs even the ones from the supermarket are significantly better than the ones I buy at home) we made or way over to Via Garibaldi where we hoped to find a sunny spot to have some coffee.
We did find a bar, and, wonder of wonders there was an unsecured wifi point that we could connect to somewhere on the street. The connection was kind of flaky but beggars can't be choosers and we were happy to have a coffee or two and enjoy the morning.
We met A. at Arsenale and had a great visit. It is always interesting to meet friends again after a long time – sometimes it works out well other times less so. We grabbed some dinner and simply enjoyed the moment.
Catching up on the last 20 years with her was truly interesting and like any good Italian story it involved romance, tragedy and, in this case, ultimately triumph.
Carrie and I got back to our flat around 1800 and we soon settled in with our books and a glass of wine for the evening. Towards that latter part of the evening I checked my email and discovered that my grandmother had passed away early that same morning. That was sad but not unexpected news.
I had no immediate need to fly back since she'd specified no services and, in any case, there are far worse places to mourn than Venice in winter.
--formerly known as 6ppc--
Posted 20 February 2009 - 04:53 AM
More eggs for breakfast and another beautiful clear sunny day,
We set out to Via Garibaldi to do some shopping and also of course to get a caffee coretto (con grappa). The wifi was gone so maybe it was just a dream after all. Found another email from A. on my phone asking if we'd like to meet her in Trieste the following day. My wife is a marine biologist and A. has a friend, also a marine biologist, that works at the Parco Maritimo at Mirimare. I sent A. a note saying we'd look forward to seeing her again too.
First stop was the vegetable boat where we bought some excellent tomatoes (sicily), a head of local Radicchio (chiogga) and some pears that looked really nice. Stopped at the saulmeria for 200 grams of Giancale some of which was destined to become part of spaghetti carbonara for dinner.
We went to a different coop to buy a little mozz and a new part for the mokapot and meandered back to the apartment.
It is Carnivale after all
There's a fairly recent little book out "Venice is a Fish a sensual guide" by venetian poet Tiziano Scarpa. It is a good read and well worth owning if you have even a passing interest in this city. The graffiti of course refers to the book's Italian title. It also makes for nifty wallpaper for my laptop.
We headed out to the gardens by San Marco to purchase our Venice cards. These are great to have and include 3 or 7 days of local transport and optionally free entrance to many of the museums in Venice. With a Vaporetto ride costing nearly 6 Euro a trip the cards quickly pay for themselves.
My wife had been wanting to have a drink @ Harry's Bar for several trips so we finally went inside. It could be 1920 inside the bar, the only modern things there are the cash register and the smoke detectors in the ceiling. Cocktails were 12 Euro and up; not terrible but we opted for caffee coretto instead.
While drinking our coffee we got hold of the lunch menu and did the "what would we order for lunch game". We figured 3 courses, no dessert and a bottle of wine with the items we chose would have ended up well north of 400 Euro. Yikes. Then again Harry's is not for those with slender wallets.
It was nice to see the inside of that bar though but for me, much like a gondola ride, once is quite sufficient.
We headed off to a nice little bookstore on the Castello side of San Marco that we always shop at and purchased 6 books to tide us over for the next few days. An internet point (Venetian Navigator) was nearby and we discover that they were now offering wifi access (12 Euro 24 hours usage) at several spots around town. We purchased that and wandered off towards Campo S. Maria Formosa where we knew there were sunny cafes and also a wifi Point for Venetian Navigator.
The new system works great and they are adding more points all of the time. 12 Euro for 24 hours is a great deal since its not for a single 24 hour period but rather for 24 hours of actual usage.
While internet connectivity is not essential to my happiness and not required while on vacation it is certainly nice to have some connectivity.
After catching up on the interwebs and the world at large for a bit we headed back towards our apartment. We stopped at a tiny bar very close to the apartment we stayed in last time. A glass of wine or two and some cicheti later we went back to the apartment for a siesta.
The Bar:
We slept way too long and just made ourselves some caprese salad and a little bread w/ prosciutto and assorted cheeses for dinner and then retired for the evening.
I woke up at 0300 unable to sleep. Jetlag perhaps or maybe just too long of a nap the day before.
Spent a few hours reading and sipping (now the mokapot was functioning) espresso.
Fried up some potatoes, more of those luscious eggs and we soon needed to get ready to go to the train station and be on our way to Trieste.
just after sunrise:
We took the number 42 to the train station – a decent choice since it goes 'round the back way via Guideca and approaches the train station without navigating the Grand Canal at all. The latter part of the trip skirts around the edges of the port which would be fairly familiar to anyone who watched the recent Venice episode of No reservations.
The ride to Trieste was fine, I've always enjoyed traveling by train and this trip was no exception.
A. met us at the train station in Trieste with her friend S.. S's car was parked in a manner that would make any Italian proud- so little clearance either side that she had to shoehorn herself into the back seat and climb into the front of the car from there.
We drove to Mirimare, toured the palace a bit and went off in a bit of a hurry because as it turned out we were late for our lunch reservation.
Mirimare is itself beautiful and also tragic. My eyes do tend to glaze over a bit when confronted with Austro-Hungarian empire architecture though – perhaps as a result of having spent so much time in Austria.
We found a parking spot near the restaurant. The trattoria itself was well and truly slammed with the (local) lunch rush so we had a bit of a wait for our table. The wait was made more friendly with a glass of prosecco and we soon were seated.
The menu was fairly typical of Trieste showing strong Austrian influence. After a brief and heated exchange between the waiter and A. in Italian (I'm pretty sure it included the words "dumbsass" and "late for your res") we ordered our food. The food was stunning. My wife had tripe (which I even liked). I opted for Gulasch, A. had a dish that involved ham, horseradish and mashed potatoes while S. had a roasted pork loin basted with a generous amount of clarified butter. A great meal and somewhat atypical of "Italian" food but very appropriate for this locale. The food was fantastic.
We headed back to the train station; thanking both A. & S. for the day and promptly fell asleep on the train. I awoke just as the train was leaving Mestre and very much enjoyed the ride into Venice via the causeway.
We decided to walk back to our flat instead of taking the vaporetto. Part of this plan involved stopping for cicheti (think Venetian tapas) at one or more places along the way. The first place we stopped at had morphed into a high end wine bar since our last visit so we gave it a pass. The second was still there and open; we enjoyed 2 small glasses of wine there and a few different small bites. The selection was smaller than usual and to be expected in places like this later in the day,
We meandered on into Castello and found a couple of places we'd never been in before, the first had a great selection of cicheti and a full menu as well. The cicheti were truly excellent and the food being served there looked and smelled so good that we made a reservation for Saturday night since a friend from Geneva will be joining us for a couple of days starting on Friday.
Another place we stopped at had the best sarde en saor I've ever tasted. We stopped at a few more places as well, uniformly good and not at all pricey. Most places we'd have several snacks and a 2 small glasses of wine and the average tab was in the 4-8 Euro range for the two of us.
We often wonder why it is that people think of Venice as being so terribly expensive to visit. Granted we are not doing fine dining and will be doing some of our own cooking. Still most of the ostereias and trattorias we see are no more expensive than we'd pay eating out @ home (mid-range stuff, no chains but also rarely any fine dining).
Of course if you choose to have your coffee on La Piazza San Marco rather than 100 meters away then it will not cost you 1.20 Euro (or whatever the going rate is). Venice is amazingly affordable and even uncrowded a surprisingly short way from the obligatory "sights". I love La Piazza as much as anyone but tend to avoid it except for very early in the morning when most are still asleep.
On the way back to the flat we decided that the only way to make cicheti better would be to do more things a la minute and perhaps elevate the ingredient choices a bit. Not fusion, not departing from tradition but rather just making or serving everything in a unique way. Stay tuned for the rest of that story – it seems that there is a young chef here who has in fact executed that vision already.
Well and truly sated we then called it a day

Posted 20 February 2009 - 05:22 AM
We had a quick cup of coffee and set out at about 0730 for Rialto. Yet another beautiful day- I think we have been lucky with the weather so far this trip since it rained almost every day for the 3 weeks prior to our arrival.
Boarded the number 1 vaporretto @ arsenale – that line stops @ every stop on the grand canal and is great for a poor mans tour of the grand canal. The boat was packed with commuters with few tourists on board. I reckon most were still sleeping off the excesses of the prior night's revelry.
en route:
The Rialto market was uncrowded and, as always, chock full of good things to eat.
We took a quick spin around the markets and stalls just to get an idea of what looked good.
The dilemma was that everything looked good. There's also a great poultry shop which had some really good looking fowl, noted the duck for future reference.
One of the truly great benefits to renting a flat is that you are no longer a voyeur and can actually partake of this bounty.
One thing I find interesting about the fish market is that almost everything there is labeled with location of take (lat/long) method of take, Latin Name, common name and with locally caught items having the additional label of "nostrano" (ours).
Now that our initial reconnaissance of the market was concluded we both were in need of a snack. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a shop that was unfamiliar; a closer look revealed that it was Pronto Pesce- the second stop on Bourdain's cicheti crawl in the recent Venice episode of No Reservations. Truthfully I was not purposely seeking it out at all and actually got the impression that Pronto Pesce was somewhat removed from Rialto rather than smack in the thick of things.
We went into the shop and urgently needed to try some of their cicheti. These were beautifully prepared with an almost Japanese aesthetic. For the most part traditional ingredients and flavor combinations simply and perfectly done, with a few twists on traditional themes. In speaking with Bruno (owner/partner) I asked if he'd seen an increase in business lately due to No Reservation's in Venice having just aired. He said that he'd had a number of folks come in referencing the show and seemed a little perplexed. He had no idea who that man who came into his shop with his friend Gigi and the camera was.
I had that episode on my laptop (with a spare Itunes authorization) and gave him a copy. Bruno and Chef Umberto were entranced by their segment and watching them watch it made us smile. We had another few bites, Umberto disappeared back into the kitchen only to reappear a while later with a perfectly prepared plate of cuttlefish in ink on polenta. The dish was gobsmackingly good.
The place is relatively new; it opened in November 2007 a few weeks after our last trip to Venice.
The shop itself was formerly a pescheria that had been disused for several years. Bruno said that they were trying to evoke the sense of being in a pescheria even after the renovation. The walls are covered in subway tiles and the overall feel is nicely uncluttered and modern without being too modern.
They also have a fair amount of items meant to take home and eat. While we were there several locals came in and purchased one dish or another (even bringing in their own casseroles in some cases). It is nice to see a new place in Venice that is doing its own thing well and not falling into the "lets just cater to tourists" or "lets make cicheti like every other place in Venice" trap. I did take a couple of pictures inside of Pronto Pesce. When we left, Bruno was showing his friends the video on his laptop behind the counter.
I purchased a kilo of clams for our dinner and threw them into my messenger bag. A sojourn on Campo S. Maria Formosa followed. We caught up on our email and such and wandered back to the apartment to warm up.
I spent the remainder of the afternoon writing while my wife took a nap. Dinner was the clams we bought at the market with a little guanciale.
Artistically plated:
The aftermath:
The next day we woke up around 0700; had a quick espresso or three and decided to walk to Rialto to do a little foraging and of course a little snack @ Pronto Pesce. The walk was beautiful, La Piazza was as close to empty as it ever gets. I made a beeline for the poultry store and procured a "small" duck breast (nearly 1 kg).
While at Pronto Pesce Bruno told us the story of the 4th bridge across the Grand Canal that had only recently been finished. The gist of the story was that the Venetians don't like the new bridge at all. It is only a short distance away from the bridge @ the train station (thus unnecessary) and cost an enormous amount of money that could have been better spent elsewhere in the city. It seems that the project was pushed through by Benneton who had purchased or optioned (this was not entirely clear) some property one side of where the bridge was to be built with the intention of building a sort of shopping center there. The project fell through so now there is a bridge to nowhere.
The bridge is quite beautiful though. The st
ructural elements esp. the sides are evocative of the muscular structure of a fish.
Bruno is also the lead guitarist for a blues band; they will play this Friday night and we are going to try to attend. He also pointed out which guy we should buy our fish from; coincidentally the same place we'd bought the clams the day before. Before leaving the market we stopped at his stand and I realized that he emphatically only sold local fish/shellfish which also explains why he had fewer offerings than most of the other vendors since not much is in season now.
I wanted some scampi to make an app for our dinner; his looked great. He was busily filleting some anchovies and I pointed out to Carrie that we'd better not interrupt him since he was probably a Fish Nazi and there are few things worse than hearing the words "NO FISH FOR YOU" on Rialto.
Levity aside, I'm sure he's more used to tourists taking pictures of his wares and moving on than he is to them buying anything. What followed was hilarious in its own right. He finished his task and asked what we wanted. My wife said 4 scampi please. He repeats back just 4 scampi??? Our response - "yes just four". I wish I had captured the rolling of eyes that followed on video. The scampi were sublime and we look forward to buying more things from him. Perhaps I should get 6 scampi today :) (Friday AM 20th as I type this) since we have a friend arriving from Geneva today. He's bringing us some Foie Gras!
Just adjacent to the Rialto traghetto I spied a boat with several deep friers going and kilos and kilos of seafood just waiting to be turned into fritto misto. I've always felt that a place like this would be a wonderful thing indeed. For today at least my dream had come true, according to the signage this was either a Carnival thing or maybe just a Fat Thursday thing. Just to be safe we immediately queued up and had two portions and a vino bianco (5 Euro total). Quite possibly the best fritto misto of my entire life.
The cook had 4 vats of fat going (in a rocking boat just to make things more interesting) and was rotating each batch through all four. I'm pretty sure that he had them at differing temperatures.
We checked email etc at our usual campo and I started to feel really, really cold. The kind of cold you feel when your getting a fever. I fled back to the apartment and had a nap which did help a bit.
Dinner that night consisted of (4!) briefly sauteed scampi wrapped in a little guanciale, mozz and fresh tomato, Risotto made with a stock from the heads shells and claws of the scampi and sauteed duck breast with a basalmic/blood orange juice reduction sauce. It turned out well; ½ of the breast we purchased was somewhat excessive and probably would have served 4 but hey you only live once and besides I can only imagine the hilarity that would ensue if I asked poultry guy for just ¼ duck breast.
The risotto came out really well; a little pink perhaps because we only had red onion on hand. The flavor of the stock was fairly mild but served to add nice depth to the dish and a healthy whack of umami as well.
Mise en place:
Plated (mad plating skills eh?)
Whew.... All caught up through yesterday. I hope that y'all have a little fun reading this. Next installments likely on Monday since we have company over the weekend.

Thank you for the detail posts and wonderful photos of Venice. Beautifully sauteed duck breast; did it smoke up your kitchen? Looking forward to the write up on the rest of your trip. Every year, we spend April in our apartment in San Polo. Can't wait.
There is actually a decent externally vented hood :).
Glad you are enjoying these posts. I'll freely admit I'm jealous that you have a flat here- we've been looking a bit and it seems we can get something (already restored) in Castello for <300,000 Euro or so. Not an immediate plan but something we've been thinking about for several years now.
Ash Wednesday and the city is returning to normal. We've really been lucky it has only rained once in the almost 2 weeks we've been here and today is another fine sunny day. About 10 C in the sun so very very pleasant.
I'm drinking a caffee coretto in Campo S. Maria Formosa at the moment since there is the conjunction of a sunny table and WiFI access here.

I'll be in Venice in a few weeks . . . Is there any where to buy interesting kitchen equipment, pots, etc.?
I love your fish porn.
Posted 29 March 2009 - 11:57 AM
Will there be more?
Life has kind of gotten in the way since I got back- I'd like to add more and will try to do so
I'll be in Venice in a few weeks . . . Is there any where to buy interesting kitchen equipment, pots, etc.?
There are quite a few stores that seem to combine houswares and hardware. I was sorely tempted by a food mill this last trip but I've never really bought anything for the kitchen there with the exception of my pasta machine, purchased maybe in '83 (living a few hours away at the time so luggage was not an issue
I love your fish porn.

Oh yes, please do continue. I loved reading along last time. I really enjoy visiting markets and I sadly plan lovely meals I can't possibly cook in a hotel so it was a treat to read about your experiences in Venice that incorporate the meals you prepared with local produce and dining with a "local" perspective as well.
Posted 07 September 2015 - 08:49 PM
Yes, please. I'm so glad you bumped this up. I'm going to Italy the first week in October. The trip is only a week, I'll be in Rome 4 days and Venice 3 days. First time in Italy. So reading this is a treat. Thank you!
Posted 12 September 2015 - 10:17 AM
I missed this the first time. I enjoyed the read! So, yeah, take us along on your next trip :)

The trip: Three days sailfishing in Iztapa GUA out of BuenaVistaSportfishing, Oct 27, 28, 29. 29 cat "Monkey Business". Cruised to grounds in low 20's and ride smooth both ways Every day. Days 1 & 2 were good, day three is what GUA sailfishing is all about.
Day 0: Tom forgets passport and has to return home to get it. Misses plane in Atlanta and rebooked on later flight. He arrives GUA 2 hrs. late. Drinks on arrival, snacks by the pool Coconut fired shrimp followed by shrimp Bisque and dinner of fresh grilled Dolphin. Tom looks around place and said "I want to live here"
Lodge: new restaurant & marina complete so you watch captain and mate ready boat while you eat breakfast – Fruit plate followed by eggs, pancakes, bacon. Food top notch Everything much improved. Staff over the top.
Day 1: 6 Am wakeup to coffee and juice before breakfast. Drizzle to light rain during breakfast and ride to grounds. Everybody has tee shirt and shorts rain gear. Warm enough so it's refreshing, not uncomfortable. Lose first sail at 9:15. Capt. & mates teaching Tom to set up and hook his own fish. Tome loses 3, I tag two and Tom loses 1. Tom is practicing on Dolphin – caught a 15 and a 20. Day take: many fish in baits, hooked 5, tagged 2.
Day 2: Same wake up, but overcast and no drizzle. On grounds about 9, a little bumpier than I like but easily fishable. Tom gets 2 more Dolphin , one a 30. The dolphin don't hook easy on circles and we consider them bycatch. His learning is going well – dolphin are good practice. Day total lost 2 tagged 2.
Day 3: sky clear, no breeze. Ocean perfect. Ran about 30 miles and first fish in the boat about 9:30. Two more practice dolphin in 20's then serious sailfishing. Lost 5, tagged 6 lost 1 in tagging attempt at boat side. Two highlights third day. A) found and followed free swimming 20 foot female Orca for several miles. Orca alone and cruising about 9 knots. Blew so close to the boat twice even Deaf john heard it and got some spray. incredible. Tried for pics but digital didn't do too well. B) While following Orca got two on at same time. Got mine first, tagged and away, followed by Tom, tagged and away. By now it's 2 PM and we decided to fish a few more minutes and tagged 2 more singles. Left for home at 3.
Day 4: ate breakfast, packed and went to airport. Easy flights home. In my house at 11:30.
Trip totals: tagged 10, lost one at boat side, hooked 10 more that we saw jump but shook hooks. Broke lines twice. Carried two of my 20 lb. class shark rods. Caught more than half the fish on my two – the orangeieboom was top performer. Had we let mate set up fish, we would have tagged out.
And October is a slow month. Nov is getting good, peak is Jan, Feb, Mar.
We were trolling about 45 Nautical miles off Iztapa Guatemala and the captain saw an Orca about half a mile ahead. We trolled over by it - it was a young female about 20 feet long. She was swimming in a straight line off shore (seemed to know where she was heading and going straight there). She was alone and cruising about 9 knots. Would come up and blow about once a minute and had no fear or interest in us. A couple of times she blew so close to us, even deaf grandpa could hear her. We ran beside her a mile or so and then hooked up two sails at once and pulled off to catch our fish.
That was way cool. The pictures are not great - my little pentax is not good at action shots but you can tell what it is. It was way cool that she did not seem to care anything about us – I know she knew we were there – she just didn't seem to care or mind us being there.
Gives a whole new view to SeaWorld.
Questions – what is a nautical mile? A knot? How did I know it was a female? How fast is 9 knots?
Grand Dad.

The playwright who adapted Mody Dick for stage cast a wide net to capture theatrical elements that bring to life the classic tales sense of struggle.
Among those elements are 18 sea chanteys.
Music is such a wonderfully creative device, especially in the theater, where it gives us an opportunity to build the action, playwright Julian Rad said.
Mr. Rads adaptation of Moby Dick premiered in 2003 in New York City. It received critical acclaim, praised for its spare yet faithful treatment of Herman Melvilles 1851 novel. Mr. Rads Moby Dick was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play, an award typically reserved only for Broadway and off-Broadway shows. Ms. Rads Moby Dick was originally an off-off Broadway production. Such shows are in New York City theaters with fewer than 100 seats.
Syracuse Stages Moby Dick kicks off its 40th season. Moby Dick opened Wednesday and runs through Nov. 14. The show is directed by Peter Amster, whose previous Syracuse Stage credits include Alfred Hitchcocks The 39 Steps, This Wonderful Life and The Fantasticks.
Mr. Amster believes it is the plays music along with lighting, sound and movement that will help to convey the incomprehensibly huge scale of the events of this story.
There is also the task of trying to give an audience a visceral sense of the strenuous activity that is necessary to operate a whaling vessel hauling, managing sails, raising anchors, climbing rope ladders, to name a few, without the real equipment and rigging needed to carry out these gestures, Mr. Amster said in a press release.
The director added that a theatrically heightened language of movement had to be developed. He hopes these large theatrical gestures will trigger the audiences imagination.
In the play, as in the novel, a sailor called Ishmael learns of Capt. Ahabs desire to seek revenge upon a white sperm whale named Moby Dick, which destroyed the captains boat and bit off his leg in a previous encounter. Capt. Ahab is relentless in his pursuit, even at the expense of the sailors safety, threatening destruction for everyone onboard. The captains first mate, Starbuck, is alone in questioning the captains motives.
Mr. Rad built the storys narrative around Starbuck.
Moby Dick always spoke to me in a deep and personal way the struggle of many of the elements, the struggle that Starbuck goes through trying to be a moral man surrounded by all sorts of immorality, the ideas of man versus nature, man versus God, man versus himself, he said.
Julian Rads script is a miracle of compression, Mr. Amster said.
The role of Starbuck is played by Ithaca resident David Studwell, who appeared previously at Syracuse Stage as professor Fritz Bhaer in Little Women and El Gallo in The Fantasticks. Capt. Ahab is played by Chicago-based actor Kurt Ehrmann, who has worked with Steppenwolf Theatre and Goodman Theatre Company. Erik Hellman, who will perform as Ishmael, is also a Chicago-based actor and has appeared with Steppenwolf Theatre and Lookingglass Theatre Company.
Historical exhibit
There will be a lobby exhibit presented by the Onondaga County Historical Society during the plays run in Archbold Theatre. Discovering Hidden Stories of Syracuse ... Tied to American Whaling, created by Onondaga County Historical Association, depicts Syracuse in the early 1850s, at the time Herman Melvilles whaling novel, Moby Dick, was first published. The exhibit covers the history of the use of whale oil in 19th century Syracuse homes and industry, the story of fugitive slave Enoch Reed with ties to Syracuse, the historic Jerry Rescue and the tragic tale of Burr Burton, a young whaler from Syracuse.

It had been one of those weeks that all cricketers dread. Perfect sunshine for the first four and a half days while most slave their way through the working week, then just as the Friday feeling surfaces and thoughts of the weekend crept to the forefront of my mind, the clouds rolled over and dampened everyone's spirits with a huge downpour.
With municipal park cricket, a Friday night monsoon usually means one of two things. Either the groundsman responsible for the park cancels the game or more often than not the pitch is hastily 'prepared' with some wobbly white lines for crease markings and a swift cut with the mower. As soon as the stumps are in the ground, it costs the home team £50.
This particular Saturday, however, was one of a handful of games played on a club wicket, against one of only two remaining 'white' sides in the league. The strip was evidently damp but the game went ahead anyway and the pitch, although slow, was a batting paradise compared with our usual surroundings.
It was no surprise therefore that our attacking horde of bat-swingers lapped up every opportunity to score. Even I cashed in, sensing that it might be my only chance to bat on a flat track. Going in one wicket down in the tenth over, I accumulated steadily found myself six short of a long-awaited maiden hundred at the beginning of the final over.
At this point, my inner Pakistani took charge and I crashed one over the long-off boundary to bring up the ton, then carved another 11 runs in a wholly surreal five minutes, finishing unbeaten on Nelson with the team 289 for 3 from our 40 overs.
Two hours later we had completed a 150-run win and, still pumped full of adrenaline I was at the clubhouse bar poised to buy the customary jug of beer in honour of my batting landmark. Then I realised that I was on my own. My ten teammates, most being Muslims and not accepting of alcohol, especially in such public surroundings, had jumped in their cars and left.
Feeling at a bit of a loss, I made my way back to the Elstow pub that is home to the village side I had abandoned at the beginning of the season. They welcomed me with incredulous banter in celebrating both my milestone and a win of their own.
The beer was not what was important. Paramount was – and always is – the post-match atmosphere at a club that is able to socialise and mull over the events of the afternoon.

Labor group seeks P85 wage increase-A A +A
Monday, July 21, 2014
A LABOR group in Negros Occidental filed a petition for an P85 increase in minimum wage before the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) Region 6 in Iloilo City.
The General Alliance of Worker's Association (Gawa) explained that their petition aims to recover the purchasing power of the workers, and for the rate of wages in Western Visayas to be at par with the normal wage level.
At present, workers in Western Visayas receive P287 per day for those working in non-agricultural and commercial industrial establishments at P255, for agricultural plantation workers and non-plantation workers at P245.
Gawa, an alliance of legitimate and independent labor unions in the province, further said the wage increase is urgently needed as prices of petroleum products as well as basic commodities and services keep on increasing.
Meanwhile, the labor group reiterated their worries about the implementationof low tariffs on imported sugar and other agricultural products that will enter the country starting January next year as it may hurt the sugar industry.
Labor representative to the RTWPB in Western Visayas Wennie Sancho, who also chairs Gawa, said they will issue a resolution for the transformation of the sugar industry into a multi-diversified product to preempt the displacement of about 350,000 workers who will be directly and indirectly affected by the Asean Free Trade Agreement (Afta).
Sancho said they are also looking forward to the passage of the Sugarcane Act authored by Rep. Alfredo Benitez .(TDE with reports from and Bea Singuay, UNO-R MassComm Intern)

Mining and Meaning
I'm looking at another crop of press releases and marveling at the ever-expanding market for products that fall under the ubiquitous heading of Big Data. Big Data is everywhere. (Or is it Big Data are everywhere – to reprise that classic quandary?) Gigantic file storage appliances from vendors like Oracle and HP and software tools like Apache Hadoop continually add new building blocks to the data infrastructure. And the goal of all this? Apart from more conventional uses for scientific modeling and analysis, one of the reasons for this huge interest in accumulating data is a phenomenon known as data mining, which Wikipedia defines as a process that "attempts to discover patterns in large data sets."
We're all aware that data mining technologies will have a big effect on advertising and retail, but I'm not sure the popular media is giving full attention to the radical change it brings to how we think about information and knowledge.

Breather for 25 Hauz Khas Village restaurants
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) Wednesday allowed 25 restaurants at the Hauz Khas Village here to run on the condition of installing effluent treatment plants (ETPs) within four weeks.
A bench headed by Justice P. Jyothimani permitted 25 of the 34 restaurants to resume business.
Of the 34 restaurants, 22 have responded to the court's notice. While one has already installed an effluent treatment plant, 14 others have begun the process.
Another 11 eateries said they have ordered ETPs but the installation work was yet to start. These were asked to pay Rs.10,000 each to the NGT Bar Association.
Four weeks' time has also been given to these restaurants for installing ETPs and these have been allowed to operate.
The NGT Sep 20 shut 34 restaurants in the area after a petition was filed against their polluting the 14th-century village. The area has a lake, a green belt and ruins of archaeological importance in the vicinity of the restaurants.
Other restaurants which have still not initiated any process for installing ETPs and did not respond to the notice will remain shut.
Restaurant owners, meanwhile, expressed relief over the order.
"It is a relief. We have our responsibility towards society and environment, and this came as a check. It may look harsh, but we are keeping a positive outlook towards it," said Satender Singh Sarna, president, Hauz Khas Village Traders Association.
Advocate Sumedha Dua, appearing for petitioner Pankaj Sharma, however aired her reservations regarding the NGT decision.
"If the restaurants are allowed to start functioning without installing the ETPs, it means we are permitting them to go and pollute again," said Dua.
She also argued the order would act as a condonation of the commercial activities of those eateries which are operating in residential areas.
The tribunal also criticised the Delhi government for the Delhi Pollution Control Board being understaffed and directed the state government to take immediate action.
The tribunal also formed a seven-member committee to suggest ways on how all restaurants across the capital could be made to adhere to pollution-control norms. The committee will submit its report in two months.

Please, please no "see, we can win without Zach" jokes.
Well, Hollins was quoted in the last couple days as saying "we gotta win unpretty" or something of the sort.
He's likely coming as close to jumping with joy as we'll ever see, 'cuz this was as unattractive as it gets.
Let's look at how the Grizzlies won this game, somewhat in spite of themselves….
Thumbs up: Defense. They did play that well, and they did it in a way that can be done against a team like the Kings-let the one guy go nuts (although there wasn't really any "letting"-DMC is an absolute beast and I LOVE watching him play), just don't let some no-namer like Fredette/Garcia/Salmons/etc. be responsible for doing more than his share to throw the Grizzlies off-balance. Ten blocked shots, eight steals, and an opponent under 35% and under 70 points for the game. Biggest defensive stat? A combination-2 for 10 from three for SAC, with one lonely assist for Cousins. Those two things are related. Didn't let him get rolling as far as passing out of the post to open three-point shooters, and the Kings can be contained.
Tony Allen's ears and mind being all full of this (warning: language and content) didn't hurt either. What a game from Allen.
Thumbs down: Bench scoring. Sure, the bench was significantly shorthanded, missing Pondexter and Speights, but eleven points? Whether Bayless' recent struggles have much to do with his increased court partnership with Conley it's hard to say (and worth some investigation), but they are real. Must we chalk up another quasi-failed PG experiment? We shall see. 4-14 from the field for the bench. Ouch.
Thumbs up: The flip side of the bench struggles was the best offensive balance among the starters in quite a while. No fewer than eleven FGA's, and no more than sixteen, for the first five. Also…21 assists on 34 makes. Good efficiency, although the percentage for the game won't win any awards. Perhaps most encouraging was the return of the nice interior passing to which we'd all grown so accustomed earlier in the season-a couple very nice close passes from Gasol, and a nice dish from Gay to Conley from the short wing to the baseline cut.
Thumbs down: Fumble fingers. Sixteen turnovers, and a bunch of just terrible unforced errors, and a vintage blown TA layup to boot. Gloriously, this was a lonely TA weak moment in an otherwise awesome game.
Thumbs up (the big one): Not hanging heads when Mo Speights missed those two FT's with the team only up 8 in what had turned out to be a tightly contested mid-fourth quarter. They kept up the defense, and Conley came through with two huge threes (although the second one was really just a sealer-the game was pretty much decided) to help maintain the lead and secure the victory.
A good night for the Grizzlies overall: Nuggets lost, Rox lost, GSW lost (although the Spurs had to win to get that one done). Gotta keep an eye to maintaining homecourt.
The Bulls won a crazy one in overtime in Boston tonight-will they react the next night as the Grizzlies did last Saturday when they laid a giant egg against SAS?
