Pesto is a subject that brings out the passion in any devotee of Italian food. Raise the topic with Luca Minna, co-owner of San Francisco's renowned Farina, and you won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
The conversation may start out with references to pine nuts, then veer over to Coco Chanel, before careening into Bay Area fog and Kennedy aphorisms. But suffice it to say, you'll never look at pesto Genovese the same way again. You also likely won't be able to resist the urge to make it yourself, because Minna and his chef, Paolo Laboa, are happy — nay, delighted — to share the recipe that won the Pesto World Championship in Genoa, Italy.
There's just one condition:
We Americans have got to stop calling that chunky, army-green stuff at the supermarket "pesto." True pesto, says Minna, is a vivid emerald green, silky and redolent of basil, and it contains neither Asian pine nuts nor powdered Parmesan. It's kissed by garlic, not drenched in it. And it's made with love and reverence.
The reason we sought out Minna in the first place was that he and Laura Garrone, his childhood friend and partner at Farina, just penned a glossy coffee table book, "Old World New: Family Meals From the Heart of Genoa" (M3 Media Group, $39.95, 188 pgs.,), inspired by Farina, their Italian restaurant in San Francisco's Mission District. The book is an ode to Genoa and to the cuisine of Italy, filled with page after page of photographs that will either send you directly to the Alitalia counter to book the next flight out or to the kitchen. It includes just 24 recipes, divided into four seasonal menus.
The point of my original call to Minna was to ask for help in devising the perfect menu for a summer dinner party or an al fresco repast. But the subject quickly turned to pesto, which runs through the veins of anyone from Italy's Ligurian coast, and Minna was off and running.
Minna, Garrone and their entire kitchen staff all hail from Genoa. Some of them grew up together. The reason they opened their restaurant here in 2007 — OK, the reason for a restaurant at all — was a horrific pesto experience in New York City.
"The true cooking of any country is the real mirror of the traditions, the culture, the influences, the opportunities that nature provides," Minna says. "It's an adaptation of all our flavors and historical meals. I'm always being invited to Italian restaurants. (People) think they're making me a favor, but the result is a disaster. Oh my God, it's unbelievable how Italian culture is misrepresented."
They chose to open the restaurant in the Bay Area because the climate is so similar to that of Genoa — the ocean, the hills, the lush farmland and the marine layer that distributes salty minerality over the earth in the form of misty winds, gentle rain and our signature fog.
The goal was to create a restaurant that did the most authentic — a word Minna despises, by the way — Italian fare with Genoans in the kitchen, centuries-old recipes burbling in pots and Ocimum basilicum "Genovese" in the mortar.
"Basil is a very unstable, amazing gift of nature. It can turn into a minty flavor, or basil flavor if it absorbs the right amount of sun and minerality through the rains and weather," Minna says. "California is an amazing land, exactly my mirror of the Ligurian region. We brought over our basil from Liguria and spent about six months traveling around to find a farmer capable of growing the basil, a perfect match for our basil plants."
These days, home cooks can find similar basil at farmers markets and most good grocers, he says. Use it with the best quality olive oil and parmigiano, and add garlic with a light hand.
"Garlic is as powerful as the basil. You want to use it properly," he says. "The majestic final touch is the pine nuts. It's the binding element that glues all the components together to make the magic."
He recommends using pine nuts from Tuscany, the ones that cost "crazy money." Their less expensive cousins from Asia are not the same thing. They cost less, he says, "but it ruins the food."
Grind the mixture with a mortar and pestle, as Italian nonnas have done from time immemorial, or use a blender to yield that "sensual, fantastic, emerald green sauce." Toss it with the most ethereal, silky pasta, and Minna promises people will say, "It is sinful! It is sexy!"
Dentice in Brodetto con Carciofi
Makes 4 servings.
1 TBS lemon juice
1 TBS flour
4 artichokes
8 TBS olive oil, divided
11⁄2 cloves garlic, divided
3 bay leaves, divided
1 C plus 2 TBS white wine
Whole fresh Thai snapper or branzino (3 lbs)
1⁄4 med onion, roughly chopped
1⁄4 carrot, roughly chopped
1⁄2 celery stalk, roughly chopped
1⁄2 C flat-leaf parsley, stemmed
3 sprigs thyme
4 basil leaves
2 plum tomatoes, crushed
Fill a large bowl with about 4 inches of water. Stir in lemon juice and flour.
Peel away the artichokes' outer leaves until you reach the pale, softer leaves. Slice off the top third to remove any sharp points, and trim all but 1⁄2 inch of stem. Using a serrated knife, cut artichokes in half lengthwise; remove the chokes and purple tipped leaves that surround it. Place the artichokes in the bowl of lemon-water.
Heat a large pot; add 2 tablespoons oil, 1⁄2 smashed garlic clove and 2 bay leaves. Add artichokes, cut sides up, plus just enough water to cover. Add 2 tablespoons wine and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Simmer, covered, 10-12 minutes, until stems are tender when poked with a knife. Remove from pot and let cool.
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Rinse the fish. Make a lengthwise cut about 1⁄2 inch deep along the thickest part of the fish on each side. In a roasting pan, combine 1 smashed garlic clove, 1 bay leaf, chopped vegetables, herbs, tomatoes, 4 tablespoons oil, 1 cup wine and 1 cup water. Add the fish. Cook, uncovered, in the oven for 20 minutes, then check for doneness along the cut. The fish should be white and opaque. If it's still translucent, roast 3 minutes more.
Transfer the fish to a warmed serving platter. Strain the remaining brodetto or "little broth" into a small pot. Add coarse sea salt if needed. Keep warm.
Meanwhile, crisp the artichokes. In a saute pan over high heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. When hot, add artichokes, cut side down. Saute 3 or 4 minutes, turning occasionally.
To serve, pour a few tablespoons brodetto over the fish and tuck the artichokes alongside. Serve with bread to sop up the brodetto.

Mandilli di Seta al Pesto Genovese
Makes 4 servings.
4 C basil, preferably Ocinum basilicum "Genovese," loosely packed
1⁄3 C pine nuts
1⁄2 C extra-virgin olive oil
1⁄2 tsp chopped fresh garlic
1 tsp coarse sea salt
1⁄3 C finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
1⁄3 C finely grated pecorino cheese
Pasta dough (see recipe below)
11⁄2 TBS coarse sea salt
4 basil leaves, garnish
For the pesto: Wash the basil in cold water. Gently pinch leaves from stems. Soak the leaves in a bowl of cold water for 1 hour.
Put the pine nuts, olive oil and garlic in a blender. Pulse to make a coarse paste. Add basil leaves, 1 cup at a time, shaking off some, but not all of the water (a little water helps the ingredients emulsify). Pulse a few times after each addition. When all the basil has been pureed, add salt and blend on high until the pesto is smooth.
Add the cheeses and pulse to blend. (Take care not to overblend at this stage or the sauce will heat up and separate like a broken sauce.) Pour the pesto into a broad, medium-size mixing bowl. If it's more than 20 minutes before serving, cover pesto with a thin film of mild olive oil to slow oxidation.
For the mandilli: Feed the pasta dough 3 or 4 times through the widest setting of a pasta machine. Move the roller to the next narrower notch and pass the dough through twice. Continue 2 passes on each successive notch until you can almost see your hand through the pasta sheet. Cut the pasta sheets into handkerchiefs about 6 inches square.
Fill a large pot with water and place it over high heat to boil. As the water warms, stir in the salt. Drop the pasta gently into the boiling water and cook until al dente, testing after 2 minutes. As the pasta cooks, scoop up a tablespoon of the hot pasta water and stir it into the bowl of pesto to melt the cheese and meld the ingredients. (Never heat pesto over a flame. It kills the flavor.)
Add the cooked, drained pasta to the pesto and stir gently to coat. Place pasta and any remaining pesto on plates. Top with sprinkles of Parmigiano-Reggiano and a basil leaf. Serve immediately.
Basic Pasta Dough
2 C Caputo brand "00" flour (or all-purpose flour)
2 lg eggs, room temperature
1⁄4 C dry white wine
1 TBS Parmigiano-Reggiano
Mound the flour on a cutting board and make a deep well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well and beat them lightly with a fork for 20 seconds. Add the wine and cheese to the well, then gradually push dry flour into the well, stirring in a circular motion with your fingers, until you have a single ball of dough. Press your thumb into the ball. If the dough sticks to your thumb, add a bit more flour. When your thumb comes away clean, the dough is ready to knead.
Knead dough for 7 to 9 minutes until smooth. If you don't use the dough immediately, cover it with a damp cloth. Or, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to three days. Remove it from the refrigerator an hour before using it to warm it up and make it pliable enough to work with.

Julianne Hough To Make Dancing With The Stars Return
August 19, 2014 01:00 PM by Lisa Princ
Wow, it looks like Dancing With The Stars is undergoing a lot of changes for the upcoming season. Recently, Facebook and Twitter fans were upset to learn that Maksim Chmerkovskiy would not be returning to the show, but now it looks like another familiar face will be back next season. Yep, Julianne Hough is ready to make her return, but don't get too excited about seeing her dance moves, yet!
It's been years since Julianne Hough has graced the dance floor on Dancing With The Stars, but rumor has it that the blonde beauty is ready to make her return to the show! However, according to a report by TMZ, Hough will not be returning as a dancer, but instead she will join the judging panel. Sources claim that Hough is currently in negotiations to become the fourth judge on the panel, as the other three will return for the upcoming season as well.
Ironically, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who recently announced that he was hanging up his dancing shoes, was also hoping for a spot on the judging panel. Insiders claim that Maks is very ticked off that he was not offered the judging spot, and he has made it known to the show's producers. So, we're guessing that there is definitely no chance we'll see him again on Dancing With The Stars.
As for Julianne, she left the show to do some acting, and she will continue to act, as well as spend a few hours a week committing to DWTS.
What do you think about Julianne Hough joining the judging panel on DWTS? Would you have rather seen Maks as a judge? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear from you. Feel free to share your opinion in the comments section below!

Project Advent Tree: Putting the Christmas Focus back on Christ
As this Christmas Season approached, I felt a stirring in my heart to recenter focus on the Miracle of Christmas, and as my focus began to shift I wondered: What if, instead of focusing on filling the base of our tree with presents and paper, ribbons and bows, we filled its branches with our prayers? What if we gave our hearts to God this Advent Season to magnify His greatness? What fruit would our tree bear?
So this Advent, as we prepare for the coming of Christ, we have made our Christmas Tree into an Advent Tree – a tree filled with the prayers of our fellow men, which we will offer to the Lord on Christmas Night.Will you give us the gift of adorning our tree with your prayers? The joy of praying for you and your loved ones this Advent Season? The honor of offering your prayers to Jesus on Christmas Night?Read More »

There's more money for crop insurance popular in the Midwest, higher peanut and rice subsidies for Southern farmers and the renewal of federal land payments for Western states.
Almost 80 percent of the money will go to food stamps for the needy — now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.

Vietnam was America's most unpopular and most controversial war of the 20th century. When the last combat troops left in 1973, nearly 60,000 Americans had made the ultimate sacrifice along with an estimated two million Vietnamese.
How is that possible for a conflict that, according to Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, was known by 1965 as not winnable militarily?
The lion's share of blame historically lies at the feet of President Lyndon Johnson.
In 1963, at the end of the Kennedy administration, there were roughly 16,000 troops in-country. By the end of the Johnson administration in 1968, there were 537,000 troops.
But Johnson was hardly alone in terms of presidential culpability.
Between 1961 and 1963, the Kennedy administration consistently increased the levels of its military aid to Vietnam. But Vietnam as an issue did not have Kennedy's primary focus, not with the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban missile crisis, and the struggle for civil rights demanding the White House's attention.
In June 1954, foreign ministers representing the Soviet Union, Britain, France, and the United States met in Geneva, seeking a peaceful solution to the conflict in Korea as well as an end to France's involvement in Vietnam.
These negotiations resulted in a multifaceted agreement:
Vietnam would be divided between North and South. Ho Chi Minh would rule North Vietnam and Ngo Dinh Diem would rule South Vietnam. The French would withdraw their troops from Vietnam; the Vietnamese could freely choose to live in the North or the South; and a general election for the whole of Vietnam would be held before July 1956, under the supervision of an international commission.
Ho Chi Minh agreed to these terms because he believed the election would produce communist leadership. It was a position shared by then-President Dwight Eisenhower.
In a letter to his brother, Edgar, Eisenhower wrote: "I have never talked or corresponded with a person knowledgeable in Indochinese affairs who did not agree that had elections been held at the time of the fighting, possibly 80 percent of the population would have voted for the communist Ho Chi Minh."
The prospect of a free election resulting in Vietnam falling under Communist leadership during the Cold War was not an outcome the U.S. wanted when it participated in a peaceful solution in Geneva.
Not only did this dampen the possibility of elections for the whole of Vietnam, it strengthened U.S. support of Diem, who also had no intention of actually committing to free elections.
It would be nearly nine years and two presidents before U.S. policy came to the conclusion that Diem was not only the wrong person to back, but such support aligned the U.S. with a corrupt government and against the majority of Vietnamese.
Meanwhile, the U.S. commitment grew deeper, digging its way into an untenable quagmire.
I raise this now because President Barack Obama stands in Afghanistan very close to the position where Johnson stood in Vietnam. Moreover, it remains unclear whether Afghan President Hamid Karzai is the 21st-century version of Diem.
Like Johnson, the president is heading toward making a bad situation worse by doubling down militarily on a region that has already proven to be the place to which empires go to die.
One of the key elements to becoming a quagmire is to lose sight of the fact that the reason the U.S invaded and occupied Afghanistan in 2001 is not the same reason it remains there today.
Al-Qaeda is no longer the reason. CIA Director Leon Panetta issued a report in June stating that there were no more than 50-100 members of al-Qaeda within Afghanistan.
Like Vietnam, Afghanistan is not winnable militarily. If Obama is to avoid any historical comparisons to Johnson he should consider the following suggestions that have been offered by several foreign policy experts:
• End all rhetoric about a U.S. victory; the best one can hope for are preferred outcomes.
• Engage the Taliban; there is no way around it.
• Place more emphasis on local self-defense.
• Concede that Karzai is the best option available.
• Include regional neighbors, whose self-interest is at stake, including Iran.
• Create a clear and achievable role for Pakistan, or at least find out if that is possible.
Like Johnson, Obama inherited this mess, but as of Jan. 20, 2009, it was his mess to clean up. What's really at stake is whether historians will view BHO in Afghanistan as synonymous with LBJ in Vietnam.

Hey there - I currently use Shimano SH-M122B shoes with my bicycle. These were a little hot during the summer, but mostly great. Now that it's starting to get colder and colder, however, they're proving to just not offer enough insulation. Today it was just a hint above freezing, and I wore my thickest wool socks along with long johns, and still by the end of my 10 mile commute my feet were nearly numb.
Is there anything better out there?
On a related note - any recommendations for winter bicycling bib shorts? All of mine are more for the summer so I've been layering up which works pretty well.

Madagascar's interim government Wednesday postponed key elections, meant to end a four-year political deadlock on the island, after a special court found outside factors had derailed the poll preparations.
The Government Council decided "to call on the CENIT (election commission) to determine an election calendar," it announced in a statement, opening the way for a new vote date.
An electoral court Tuesday declared a force majeure had compromised organisation for the July 24-presidential and parliamentart polls.
It found the suspension of donor funds and international rejection of three controversial presidential candidates made it unlikely the Indian Ocean island would be ready by that date.
Interim leader Andry Rajoelina, 38, who seized power with military backing in 2009, had on Monday asked for a one-month suspension of the vote.
He refused to resign from his position on the two-month deadline ahead of elections as is required.
The African Union meanwhile has refused to recognise his candidacy, along with those of his rival's wife Lalao Ravalomanana and of former president Didier Ratsiraka.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon has called on all three candidates to withdraw from the race.
Madagascar has been in political limbo since Rajoelina, a youtful former disc jockey and mayor of the capital Antananarivo, seized power from former president Marc Ravalomanana in 2009.
According to an internationally brokered roadmap aimed at steering the nation back to constitutional rule, neither politician would take part in new elections.
But when Ravalomanana's businesswoman wife Lalao announced she would run Rajoelina declared his candidacy as well.

Brazil is on the fast track to realising more of its vast potential. The Brazilian economy is projected to grow at 7%-8% annually over the coming years.
With the spotlight on the country thanks to the FIFA World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016, infrastructure spending will be critical in the period ahead to support growing demand for roads, rail, mass transit, ports and airports. Economists have estimated the need at hundreds of billions of dollars.
BNDES (the Brazilian Development Bank), which provides significant support to infrastructure investment, disbursed $BRL 47 billion through November 2010. This, however, leaves an investment gap that will need to be met through other means. A country that has historically had tremendous government support for infrastructure development is now looking to alternative sources to meet growing demand.
In addition, with a short time-frame before two of the world's greatest sporting competitions descend on Brazil, effective program management and implementation are key to ensuring completion of pivotal infrastructure projects in the coming years.mus

03/17/2011, Elizabeth Harbour
We sailed into Elizabeth Harbor this afternoon. This is the harbor for Georgetown, but we are probably a mile by dingy from the town. We had a good sail, for the most part. We wanted to leave Little Farmer's Cay as early as we could because we had to go out Farmer's Cut into Exuma Sound. It can be really rough going out the cuts if the wind and current are opposing each other. High tide was at about 6:30 this morning, after that the water starts to flow back out, so the current would be going towards the east, while the wind would be coming from the east. Not good. But, you can't leave until you can see because there's no navigation aids and we don't know the waters. However, the earlier we left, the lighter the current (we hoped) and the wind (again we hoped). So we got up at 5:30 and readied whatever we hadn't been able to do last night. As soon as there was any light at all we took Fuzzy ashore. Then we still had to lift the engine off the dinghy and then lift and stow the dinghy. We managed to leave at about 7:50, which was about as early as I'd want to go (we're on Eastern Daylight Savings time here) as the sun wasn't too far up, and the glare in the water was substantial. I could really only see the bottom about 20 feet in front of the boat, but happily the information we'd gotten on finding the channel was correct, so I never had to ask Bud to change course. The cut was wavy, but really not bad.
We had quite a sail on the sound. Leaving early was the thing to do as the wind increased all day, as did the waves. The early going was pretty easy, but we were sailing fairly tight to the wind. As the day went on the wind increased and moved a bit further abeam, so Earendil was clipping along at well over 7 knots. That's good time when you consider that the waves by then were 4 to 5 feet. Since Earendil has a low bow, it was a very wet sail. The photo is just after we came up through a wave and the water is pouring off the jib. We did manage to pass a couple of boats that were probably 3 or 4 miles ahead of us when we came out of the cut. That was nice.
The next issue was negotiating the entrance to Elizabeth Harbor. A boater we'd talked to a day or so ago said it wasn't too tough, and the waypoints in the Explorer Chartbook for the Exumas worked well. I had those all entered into the chartplotter last night. Then today, as I was reviewing things before we came in I read the information in our other guidebook. "Don't ever enter Elizabeth Harbor by relying on waypoints." Oh great! Well, we used the waypoints, but of course we also watched the water and we really didn't have any trouble. The hardest part was getting the foresails furled, it was still pretty rough where we took them in, and Bud was having to negotiate the entrance turns. We managed, though.
Then we looked ahead and I was somewhat dismayed. There were masts everywhere! We wanted to anchor at Monument Beach, off the west shore of Stocking Island. Stocking Island lies to the east of Great Exuma and the area between these two long islands is Elizabeth Harbor. Since the prevailing winds are from the east and everything in the forecast is from NE to SE, we wanted to be along the west shore of Stocking, rather than the east shore of Great Exuma. So did everyone else. We went along the rows of boats looking for a place to anchor out of the ship channel (not marked, of course) but not in anyone else's way. We finally found a spot and anchored. Once we let out enough chain I thought we were a bit behind the boats on either side. I was worried, the ship channel isn't marked on the chartplotter charts, so we couldn't really tell if we were in it.
Meanwhile, we launched the dinghy, put the engine back on it, loaded up the gas can, paddles, lifejackets, anchor, viewing bucket and Fuzzy and went up to check our anchor and take Fuzzy to the beach. When I looked for the anchor I couldn't find it! We went back and checked and indeed, the Rockna was buried so deep not even the bail was showing, you could just see a little disturbed place where it had dug in (and it looked like it buried itself within a foot of where it landed). That is a stellar anchor! After we took Fuzz for his walk Bud dinghied off to the side to see if we really did stick out. We do, by almost a boat length compared to the people right around us.
We got back to the boat and finished tidying up the lines and covering the main. Even though we are getting really good at these tasks, it was 4:30 by the time we finished. And we arrived at the anchorage at 2:30. (That's another reason we like to leave as early as we can in the morning. At least with the change in time, and the longer days we have until 7:30 or so before the light really starts to fade.) Anyway, once things were done, we decided to plot our current position per the GPS on the one paper chart that shows a ship channel. Oh, yeah, we're in it. But actually, we're on the edge, and a ferry went by not long after we got here, and other than rocking us a lot with his wake, he didn't seem to have any problems getting by. Maybe if some people move we'll try to move forward, or maybe once we explore the harbor by dinghy we'll see somewhere better to move, but for the moment, we are here. I put photos in the gallery of the "monument" that gives Monument Beach it's name, and the view south of Earendil, with a forest of masts further in the harbor.

We're leaving for Georgetown tomorrow. It's the one weather window in the next week. We had originally planned to stop at a marina about 5 miles this side of Georgetown and do the wash and get water. But we heard that you could only get in or out that entrance when there wasn't much wind from the east. If we went there tomorrow, we'd be stuck for the better part of a week paying for a dock. So instead we'll go all the way to Georgetown and anchor. And we're doing another load of laundry here. It's not much of a laundry, but you have to pay for the water and electricity, so it's still $7 a load to wash and dry. We also bought 55 gallons of water ($0.40/gal), which we've brought on board in 5-gallon containers, 2 or 3 at a time. But it's a very short dinghy ride here and we may have up to a mile to go to get to town from the better anchorages in Georgetown, so better to schlep all this stuff back and forth here.
Chris Parker, the weather guru of these parts, is saying there might be a new weather pattern starting the end of next week, with more mild weather and lighter winds. If so, we can go to the marina then. That will be on our way out of Georgetown. Out to where, we're not sure yet. If there are mild weather intervals and periods of time with no strong fronts, we'll probably head east and then north and do some of the more remote islands (Conception Island, Cat Island and Eleuthera).
We're still waiting to hear where our daughter is going for her residency, and hoping she has an answer soon. In any case, we think we'll be working our way back to the US, and will not take off for good until at least next fall.
And we're looking for a marina somewhere to have some work done on the boat during the summer. We'd like to keep it as far south as possible, to avoid having to go up and come back down the ICW, but hurricanes and insurance, as well as Jamie's residency will all play a role in that. Living by the weather, one way or another.
The mail boat came in here this afternoon, so I got to confirm that it can't reach the dock. Last time it came at night, and I thought it anchored out, but it was hard to tell. This time I got a picture of the small barge-type boat they send out from the town dock to off-load their goods from the mailboat. The photo was added to the gallery.
Read your latest episode - I hope your not finding
the days or decisions too taxing - mind you I'm just jealous. I notice that you are saying that you are thinking of going back stateside for the summer (?). One thought that comes to mind to maybe check out is Mike Russel. According to Linda (used to be Haight) his
cousin, he now lives on the west side of Florida and loves to sail - might be a good source of information on that area. I don't know if west and east Florida come with the same costs, but it might be worth checking. I think I have his email address and if not I can
get it from Linda.

Bud, Fuzzy and I went over to the beach across the cut and walked down for about a mile. On the way we passed the wreck of the Blue Sky. Roosevelt Nixon told us how this wreck came to be there. About 10 years ago a hurricane came through here. One of the locals had the Blue Sky working at the corner of the cut. When the storm came he took the boat out into the channel and anchored it. The problem was, the anchor was much too small, and the line on it was huge, so the anchor never set. The boat was driven onto the shore and it's sat there rusting away ever since.
When we got to the wreck I was surprised to see that the anchor line was still there. Then up past the boat we saw the anchor. The anchor was no bigger than the one on our boat! And there was no chain on the anchor, just the line. The line isn't heavy enough to hold the shank of the anchor down so the anchor can set. No wonder the poor boat was lost. I put a picture of the anchor in the gallery.
We walked on past the wreck quite a ways. We passed Oven Rock, it's shaped like an old outdoor beehive oven. I put a picture of it in the gallery. We also saw two huge starfish right in the shallows where we beached the dinghy and I got a picture of one of them, too.
We tried to find the caves that our friends Jon and Arline had told us about, but we didn't find them. Fuzzy seemed really tired, so we came back.
Fuzzy didn't seem well this afternoon. We're not sure if he got overheated, or if he was just tired or if his feet were sore. He loves walking on the sand, but I think the abrasiveness of the sand and rocks might be hard on him. He is also constantly getting burs in his feet. We have to pull out two or three every time we take a walk. Anyway, by evening he seemed OK again.
Good to see your blog and photos. It is so amazing that you you, Bud and Fuzzy are now in Bahama.
How is your voyage, so far ?
I admit that I did not see your blog very often. But I always enjoy seeing your new photos. Keep shooting more.
Last Friday (Mar 11), level 9 earthquake was happened in north east coast of Japan and soon there was a serious tsunami. It was so sad to see the terrible view. Lots of lives were lost and incredible damages. I have friend in San Francisco and he said there are big waves hitting the coast, of course, no comparable to tsunami.
I hope you folks are happy and keep yourself away from dangerous.
With regards,
We are in Dover and it is cold, oh well.

For the most part Bahamians are pretty religious people, so everything shuts down on Sundays. We saw Roosevelt Nixon in the morning, but he was just coming by to check on things and then said he was heading out to church. Since the wind was down a bit, this seemed like the day a lot of folks were leaving, so for most of the day we had the harbor almost to ourselves. The photo shows Earendil floating alone at her mooring, where there had been about 10 boats in view.
This seemed like an ideal day to try to get in touch with family. I've been using the Internet on board, but the connection has been iffy for phone calls using SKYPE. I thought we could take the computer up to the yacht club, get good reception and have no one around so still have quiet. We did just that, stopping on the way to try to pull Bud's fishing hook out of the rocks (lost another hook). But the network I use from the boat wasn't even showing up at the club, and the one that was wasn't giving a good connection. We called both our moms but although we could hear them, they were having a very hard time hearing us, so it wasn't much of a conversation. We gave up and came back to the boat.
When cruisers get together they often mention the things they miss most about normal life. Usually long hot showers and unlimited plumbing are tops on the list. For me, the top item is good communication. I don't mind being away from my family, but I'm used to unlimited minutes on cell phones and not being able to talk to my daughter for an hour at a time is killing me. We've been looking into communication alternatives and nothing looks great.
The things that are hardest to supply on a boat are power, water and communications. We do OK with power when the wind blows, but we've decided we need an arch and more solar panels for the sunny days with no wind. As for days with no sun and no wind, we really haven't seen any of those. Still nights could be a problem, but basically you just shut most things down and go to sleep. Water is available here, but a pain to get. You have to go into a dock to fill your tanks and it costs forty or fifty cents a gallon. We would like to add a watermaker. Then the only thing we'd need to go to shore for is fuel, and even as a sailboat, we're not going to get away from that. We've only bought 30 gallons of fuel since leaving Stuart, Florida, though, so that doesn't seem like too much of an issue. So we think we can make changes to keep us pretty self-sufficient off shore, but we don't have the communication thing fixed to my satisfaction. I'll be happy to be back in the states and have my cell phone work. Maybe we should just hang out in Puerto Rico.
I did manage to get a picture of the smaller of the two turtles that seems to hang around here; you can check it out in the gallery. And the most important part of the day...Bud caught a snapper! The bait of choice is mozzarella cheese, who knew.
03/12/2011, Farmer's Cay Yacht Club, Little Farmer's Cay
We decided to walk to town today and see what we could find to restock our shelves. Last night the mail boat came in (yes, they came and left in the dark, I don't know how they do it since there are about two channel markers for every 10 islands around here). The day after the mail boat comes is always a good day to shop. Besides, I was on my last book. Most every marina and some of the restaurants, have book exchanges.
We packed up Fuzzy, my already read books, and our garbage and set out in the dinghy. We used a stern anchor again, but this time we went into the beach (the little bit sticking out over high tide) and then left the dinghy floating with a stern anchor to hold it out and a bow line to some rocks and a bush on shore to hold it in. I went into the marina and traded in about 5 of my books. I left those in a bag near where the dinghy was tied so I didn't have to carry them. Bud asked Roosevelt Nixon where the dump was. He was amazed that we wanted to walk that far, but gave us instructions. Now Little Farmer's Cay is one and a quarter miles long and three quarters of a mile wide, so it couldn't be too far.
We asked another young man to confirm the directions once we got closer. He not only gave us directions, but also asked a younger boy who was going our way to point the way out to us. Folks here are just like that. Everyone you pass on the islands says hello or waves. All of the kids are polite (and they are all fascinated with Fuzzy, and a bit afraid of him). Anyway, we made it to the dump. There was a dog tied out there, he looked like a typical junkyard dog and he barked as we walked up, but being a Bahamian junkyard dog, he wagged his tail when Bud walked by him to toss our garbage into the pit.
Next we hiked over to the main part of town where we ordered some bread (to be picked up at 6 PM) and found the local fisherman. We asked him his prices and since he was asking about $3 or $4 per fish, Bud asked him to pull out what would be $15 worth. He pulled out a pretty big grouper and a couple of snappers and a red hind. He filleted them for us while we went to the grocery store and went up the hill to the other restaurant in town (besides at the yacht club where we're moored) and had a drink. We were able to get oranges, potatoes and tomatoes at the grocery. Those won't last many days after mail boat day.
I traded the last of my books in Ocean Cabin (the other restaurant) and Bud signed their guest book. The owner is quite a character and gave us a typed sheet with a picture of the Little Farmer's Cay flag and a history of the island. A freed slave from Great Exuma and her three children settled the island. They bought the entire island and deeded it to their dependants to be held in common. The people who live here are obviously proud of their island and their history. We sat on the front porch of Ocean Cabin with Fuzzy and had our drinks. The photo is the view from where I was sitting. It's no wonder the folks who live here are happy and proud.
After our history lesson we went down and picked up our fillets and walked back to the yacht club and our dinghy. We divided the fish up and our $15 got us about three meals worth. Not a bad price. We fed Fuzzy and when we took him ashore we walked back and picked up our bread. Then we came back and had a dinner of fresh grouper grilled with ginger, garlic and soy sauce and fresh warm bread. We also had baked potatoes, coleslaw and a sliced tomato. Yum!
to the point yet where it doesn't really matter to
keep track? My retired friends tell me that not knowing what day of the week it is presents a major step on retirement living.
Bud - can you get the local fisherman to give directions - or better yet let you be crew hand for a day - working your way to knowledge in this case doesn't sound like a bad way to spend a couple of days.
Hopefully you guys got the information I sent
back on the mystery hose.
Have you found out how to get the live conchs
yet - and how to make them into chowder - looks like you have lots to choose from. I aways wondered how you get them out of the
shell without breaking the shell. Do they have a similar taste to a clam? Love clam chowder.
Keep up the good 'work'.
03/11/2011, Farmer's Cay Yacht Club, Little Farmer's Cay
Weather in the Bahamas seems to be a series of fronts with high-pressure ridges between. The times of high pressure have fair skies, but can be quite windy. The wind during times of high pressure is from the northeast, east or southeast, the prevailing wind here. Most of the islands have very nice anchorages along the western shores which are quite secure in fair, but windy weather. When a front comes through the wind first drops, then clocks around from to S to W to NW to N and back to east again. If it's a weak front the wind stays light the whole time and never builds until the high pressure is back.
The front that came through today was supposed to be stronger. At first the woman who gives the weather for the Staniel Cay area said that the folks anchored on the west side wouldn't have too much to worry about, as there would only be a few hours of wind from the west. We had already moved to the moorings here, and they are supposed to give all around protection, but there will be wind driven chop if the wind is from the northwest. There are no landmasses in that direction, but there are miles of shallow banks, so the waves don't get too big. This morning, the one weather guy that most of the cruisers listen to and many subscribe to, Chris Parker, said the winds here would be 17 to 22 knots from the northwest as the front passed and then tomorrow change to the north. The woman giving the Staniel weather suggested boats might want to move out of the western anchorages, as there could be 12 hours of 13 to 18 knot wind out of the northwest.
We could see the line of the front when we took Fuzzy to shore at 8:15 this morning, that's when I took this picture. I was worried about the boat's exposure to the northwest and thought we shouldn't go ashore today.
Walter, from the trawler moored with us, came over to help me with my Sailmail. Sailmail is a program that lets me send emails using the SSB radio and a modem. I'd bought all the equipment and the programs and Jeff Strothman (from TYC) had helped me set it up initially and we'd sent and received test emails. But since I got out here where I might want to use it, it hadn't worked. Walter came over and suggested I try to use the station in Rock Hill, NC rather than Daytona, FL. He also told me which frequencies work best at which times of the day. I sent several emails and learned how to get weather files. That was great information.
We got a bit of rain while Walter was on board as the front started through. The wind hadn't started yet. Around 1 or 2 in the afternoon the wind did pick up. At one point I think it got up to about 16 knots, but it seemed to be already NNW. Now, a few hours later, it's back down to about 10 to 12 knots and still more north than northwest. I think the boats could have stayed in the western anchorages and we certainly could have left the boat and gone to town today.
Since we stayed aboard Bud did have time to fix the fish. He ended up filleting it and made a fish curry that we ate over rice. There wasn't a lot of fish, but it was good.
Now Bud's out fishing again. So far he's had three strikes by big fish and lost three pieces of bait and one hook. He has a fish (maybe the one that's taken all his bait) on the line now. It's another Horse-Eyed Jack, so no dinner but he's having fun.

How to quickly integrate with Twitter's OAuth API using PHP
UPDATE: You can watch me on GitHub, view documentation or fork the project.
A new project I'm working on integrates closely with Twitter. As a result, I become a lot more familiar with OAuth than I care to. Many developers want to be able to speak the OAuth protocol without having to know the fine details. I am deviating from the normal order by starting with an example and explaining it afterwards. If you are interested in using "Sign in with Twitter" then read my other blog post.
A simple example
To follow the example, you'll need to download these files and have a web server set up. I use my laptop but you can also use a webhost if you'd like. Head over to Twitter and set up an application. The last two fields are important. The callback url will need to redirect to your web server at a location where you will be uploading some files. Assuming you're going to upload into your web root, the callback url would be something like http://yourdomain.com/confirm.php. You'll also need to make sure you select "Read & Write" access.
Once you click save, you will be presented with some information. Download the php files for this example and open secret.php. Enter your consumer key and consumer secret in the appropriate areas. Save and upload to your webserver.
Open a browser to your webserver's start.php file you just uploaded. You'll see a link to authorize with Twitter. Clicking on that link will take you to Twitter's site and ask you to log in if you're not already.
Once you click Allow you'll be redirected back to your site with a custom greeting pulled straight from Twitter. It doesn't get much easier than that. From here on out you can use the token and secret provided by Twitter to access the API on behalf of the user who authorized you. Now, the details.
Why use OAuth…the benefits
OAuth is "an open protocol to allow secure API authorization in a simple and standard method from desktop and web applications." What's that mean? In short, it means that a user of your service can provide you limited access to a third party account of theirs. OAuth is often described as a valet key that your users can give you to access their accounts on other services. For example, a user using Flickr (the service provider) would provide Snapfish (the consumer) with read only access to their Flickr account. This lets Snapfish access photos in the user's Flickr account so they can order prints.
It's all in the tokens
How does this happen without asking the user to give up their Flickr password? The flow would start by Snapfish obtaining a consumer key and secret and using them to generate an authorization link to Flickr. Once the user follows the authorization link, they are asked to log in on Flickr's site. Once logged in they can choose to grant Snapfish access to their Flickr account. Flickr then marks the request token as having been authorized by the user. Snapfish uses the request token to obtain an access token which can be used by to make requests to Flickr on behalf of the user. This diagram may help visualize it easier. C = Consumer, SP = Service Provider
Let's dive in
I had several goals in writing a PHP client for OAuth and Twitter.
- The two should be decoupled, making it easier to add other OAuth services
- Reuse the asynchronous/non-blocking curl library
- Expose methods which would enable OAuth requests in less than 4 lines of code
Generating a valid OAuth request
It turns out that generating an OAuth request is very simple but debugging it is a pain. Every OAuth request contains certain parameters. These include:
- oauth_consumer_key
- oauth_token
- oauth_nonce
- oauth_timestamp
- oauth_signature method
- oauth_version
- oauth_signature
These can be passed in as GET or POST parameters or in the Authorization header. You'll most likely be passing in other additional parameters based on the API you're accessing. I won't get into the details of what these parameters represent in this blog post but it's good information to know.
A look inside EpiOAuth
EpiOAuth initializes an instance of the EpiCurl object in its constructor. Since EpiCurl is not included, you'll want to make sure you've made it available ahead of time. There are several methods which you'll need to know about.
- getAccessToken
- getAuthorizationLink
- getRequestToken
If you reference the diagram above, then these should be self explanatory. There are several other helper methods which act more behind the scenes but play an important role.
- generateSignature
- generateNonce
- httpRequest
- prepareParameters
- signString
These do all the magic to turn an otherwise normal request into a valid OAuth one.
How EpiTwitter extends EpiOAuth
Per my original goal, the Twitter class should contain a very minimal set of functions which call specific endpoints. These methods are self explanatory if you look at them as well. I did, however, want to make it easy to use the class in an asynchronous manner since the underlying http library I was using supports it. This led me to create an EpiTwitterJson. When you make a request you'll receive an instance of the EpiTwitterJson object without blocking for a response from the Twitter API.

Saint Motel – Benny Goodman
L.A. indie rock outfit Saint Motel is back with a video for "Benny Goodman," the new single off their latest full-length, Voyeur. Directed by frontman A/J Jackson, the piece pays homage to the rags to riches story of legendary jazz musician Benny Goodman (who broke out while on the verge of going broke with a performance at the Palomar Theatre) through child dance sensation Miles "Baby Boogaloo" Brown. Playing off the image of a certain family of five, Brown shows that he's got what it takes to be the Michael of the bunch in the middle of a busy restaurant. Watch him bust a move above.
Saint Motel's Voyeur is out now via On The Records.

Responding to recent criticisms of Uncharted 3's new founded shooting mechanics and gun play, Naughty Dog has posted an in-depth explanation of why the changes were made, on the company's official blog.
"First off, the guns fire in a completely different way in Uncharted 2 compared to what you're experiencing now in Uncharted 3," said Game Director Justin Richmond. "Keep that in mind, as it affects your perception of gun combat as a whole since it's very easy to want to compare the two sets of mechanics between the two games."
Richmond then goes on to explain the physics of why the gunplay feels different, by saying that "In Uncharted 2 the bullets would leave the barrel at a pre-set deviation when you were aimed in. What this means is that the bullets would not fire straight out of the barrel all the time -- they could come out at an angle. Therefore, you could have a target clearly in the reticle and still miss it by a wide margin. This was frustrating, because it was difficult to tell why you were missing a target."
"As a result, we wanted to be sure you had a better grasp of whether you were hitting or missing a target. In Uncharted 3 the bullets now fire straight out of the barrel 100% of the time. However, we have recoil -- where the reticle moves/bounces as you fire. Therefore, it is easier to tell if you are missing or hitting a target. Now it is much more obvious when you are hitting or missing based on the reticle itself."
For a more in depth description of the changes, and an overview of the gunplay in multiplayer, visit Naughty Dog's official blog. All we know is the new shooting mechanics didn't stop us from loving the game.

Pop Star Power Couples Of The Past
Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato
I won't lie and say that I wasn't more than a little jealous of Demi, while she was dating Joe. But after all those adorable Disney duets, it was really inevitable. The breakup is what set Demi over the edge, also. So that's...something, I suppose. OH, and the fact that they're cordial again is just precious.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is heading to Asia, where countries are keeping close watch on the crisis in Ukraine amid territorial tensions with China.
Obama leaves Washington on Tuesday and is set to visit Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines.
Each country has a dispute with China over islands in the South and East China Seas. Their leaders will be trying to get a sense of Obama's willingness to support them if the conflicts boil over.
U.S. officials have taken a tougher line on the territorial issues in recent weeks. They've warned China against the use of military force and noted that the U.S. has treaty obligations to defend Japan.

Alcohol-fixed, Papanicolaou stained smear preparations of the breast lesion showed rare, markedly atypical ductal epithelial cells. These cells had abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and pleomorphic nuclei with prominent nucleoli, hyperchromasia, coarse nuclear chromatin, and mitotic activity consistent with a malignant cell population. Rare cells featured prominent intracytoplasmic vacuoles. FNA of the axillary mass showed malignant cells in syncytial groups and singly, characterized by abundant, granular cytoplasm and vesicular nuclei with a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio. Many multinucleated giant tumor cells were present in addition to lymphocytes and histiocytes. The supraclavicular aspirate showed rare malignant cells, identified on the cell block, with features similar to those described above.
Right breast, core biopsy:
The core biopsy showed cords and cohesive aggregates of tumor cells with abundant, variably granular, eosinophilic cytoplasm, round, centrally to eccentrically located nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and distinct cell margins. A few cells with bizarre multilobulated nuclei and large, multiple nucleoli were also present. A focal in-situ component of the tumor was characterized by a similar although monotonous cell population forming a solid, mosaic pattern.
Immunohistochemical studies:
Immunohistochemical stains, performed on the core biopsy, revealed cytoplasmic reactivity of the tumor cells for cytokeratin (AE1/3), gross cystic fluid protein (GCDFP-15), and nuclear staining with androgen receptor. The tumor cells were non-reactive for estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR).
Electron microscopy:
Ultrastructural analysis was performed on tissue retrieved from paraffin-embedded formalin-fixed tissue. Examination revealed tumor cells with fairly abundant mitochondria, many of which contained osmiophilic bodies. Multiple intracytoplasmic empty vesicles were present. Occasional intracytoplasmic lipid droplets were also noted.

Hayden Panetierre, 18, has been named by "GQ" as their obsession of the year. Straight dudes LOVE hot chicks in cheerleader uniforms. Not as much as defiling a girl in a Catholic school girl get-up, but cheerleaders are up there. Hayden stars on NBC's rapidly declining hit "Heroes" (though it's been redeeming itself lately) and says that you're never going to see her all junked out or acting the fool, ala Lohan/Spears/Hilton.
"You can't schedule rehab for me. And I don't think you can schedule any DUIs," Panettiere told the magazine.
"I think I'm going to be one of those boring girls."
So far I'd have to agree, though being wanted in Japan is sorta hot. She recently participated in efforts to keep Japanese fisherman from slaughtering dolphins by putting her nubile teen body between fishing boats and dolphins. I bet all she really had to do was break out some of the outfits she's got on here. I assume Japanese fisherman appreciate barely legal ass as much as the next guy.
