It's tough to find a story any messier than this: In what it is calling an "exclusive," The New York Daily News yesterday reported by way of a source that ex-Oasis frontman (and married man) Liam Gallagher fathered a 7-month-old love child with music reporter Liza Ghorbani. According to the article's time stamp, The New York Post ran a story of its own just shy of an hour later, reporting the same thing via "sources" and adding that a DNA test has proved it. Now the Daily Mail reports that while Gallagher's lawyer refuses to comment on the "gossip," he did say "legal action" was being taken against the Post. Read more on Newser…

Mary Ann's Kitchen receives visit from Unilever
August 21, 2013 in Uncategorized
The brand managers of Knorr and Knorros recently visited Hirsch's Umlazi where they sponsor Mary Ann's Kitchen, a community project that gives underprivileged members of the Umlazi community the opportunity to learn new skills for free.
Yet to say that they were blown away, their comments were out of this world, "it's a privilege to be in partnership with Hirsch's", said Coleen Leygonie brand manager for Knorr South Africa.
The students all did a testimonial on how they experienced her classes and where it has taken them in their own lives. The two classes were full of eager students and Mary Ann prepared two recipes, a Beef Stew with butternut (using Knorrox beef cubes) and spicy muffins.

Throwback Thursday
Snack Time!
Image Credit. (I learned this morning that this cute critter is a "Sugar Glider" from the possum family. It is native to Australia. It's name comes from its love of sugary nectarous foods (no wonder I was drawn to it) and its ability to glide through the air, much like a flying squirrel.

— Ezra Pound
Ezra Weston Loomis Pound (1885 – 1972) was born in Hailey, Idaho and was an American expatriate poet. During his stay in London in the early 20th century as foreign editor of several American literary magazines, he helped discover and shape the work of contemporaries such as T. S. Eliot, James Joyce, Robert Frost and Ernest Hemingway. His political views ensure that his work remains controversial; in 1933 Time magazine called him "a cat that walks by himself, tenaciously unhousebroken and very unsafe for children." Hemingway nevertheless wrote: "The best of Pound's writing – and it is in the Cantos – will last as long as there is any literature."
I resolved that at 30 I would know more about poetry than any man living, that I would know what was accounted poetry everywhere, what part of poetry was "indestructible," what part could not be lost by translation and – scarcely less important – what effects were obtainable in one language only and were utterly incapable of being translated. In this search I learned more or less of nine foreign languages, I read Oriental stuff in translations, I fought every University regulation and every professor who tried to make me learn anything except this, or who bothered me with "requirements for degrees."

It happened in a blink of an eye. More than 25 years ago. My collegiate hockey career, for what it was, was long behind me. This was a pick-up game. A lazy Saturday afternoon. I should have been watching the Michigan Wolverines on the tube. Yet, if you know a hockey player, you can't take the game out of the player.

21 Swings
"Every spring, an interactive installation takes over a high-traffic area in Montréal's Quartier des spectacles and sets a collective ritual. The installation offers a fresh look at the idea of cooperation, the notion that we can achieve more together than separately. The result is a giant instrument made of 21 musical swings; each swing in motion triggers different notes, all the swings together compose a piece, but some sounds only emerge from cooperation. The project stimulates ownership of the public space, bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds, and creating a place for playing and hanging out in the middle of the city centre. A traveling version of the project is currently being made for these collective moments to spread around the world."

Unfortunately all these improvements will take place during the designated time for the Legends & Lore Festival. We apologize to all the demonstrators, vendors and visitors that look forward to this event every year. We are currently looking at other options for events in 2014 and look forward to a new and refreshed Legends & Lore Festival in the spring of 2015.
Nestled on the rolling hills of Washington County, Florida is a place filled with natural wonders and a rich cultural history. Falling Waters State Park was established in 1962 to preserve what is considered one of Florida's most unique geological features but the park is so much more. Over the next five decades Falling Waters State Park has added many amenities and to this day continues to improve. The parks improvements can be attributed to the dedicated staff that continue to strive to make this state park one of the best. However, in recent years the local community has become more involved with assisting in preserving and protecting one of the Florida's panhandle hidden treasure. To this end, the Friends of Falling Waters & Ponce deLeon Springs State Park was formed to work with park staff to improve all aspects of the park.
The Friends organization funds interpretive programs for school groups and the public, native plant restorations, exhibit construction, summer day camps, and community education events.

Why won't my cinlatro stay upright. They are healthy plants but they won't stay upright. This happened to my Italien Leaf Parsley as well, but they are standing upright now. Any suggestions? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
How much sun are they getting? |
They sit infront of our balcony door, so they should get about 3 hours if not more of sunlight. The parsley did the same thing and now it is standing up. The cilantro are very vibrant green and have big leaves, just kind of lanky. Thanks for your help. |

Hi. I am new to the site and also at growing herbs. Ibought potted cilantro and the top is growing lacy looking. Should I take the top off. The tag that came with the plant said full sun, but that is a lot of sun in texas. Please tell me all I need to know about growing and harvesting cilantro |
Cilantro is easy to grow, but it goes to seed (bolts) quickly so you must sow seeds often for a continuous supply. I sow seeds about every two weeks. The hotter it is, the faster it bolts. You mention that it only gets three hours of sunlight - I don't think that's enough. I would suggest 6 to 8 hours. I have more success growing it in the spring than I do in the hot summer here in Arkansas. Some years I just grow it in the spring and freeze bags of the leaves for later use. Annie, it sounds like your cilantro plant is bolting if you say it is getting lacy on top. I would suggest letting it fully produce seeds then pick the seeds and resow. The seeds look like little balls - pick them off when they're brown. In the meantime you may want to get a pack of seeds from Wally World and reseed. You can essentially begin to harvent cilantro leaves as soon as they appear. |
That 3 hours of sun is what's doing it. Cilantro really needs full sun - meaning at least 6 hours of full sun. It will survive on less, but won't be as full or vibrant (or upright). Parsley can take less sun & can frequently be grown in partial shade, but again it won't produce as heavily for you as it would if it had more sunlight. |
After it bolts is it inedible? |
No - it's definitely not inedible. I've still used the bolted fernier foliage in dishes. It's just not quite as good. If you don't have a garden area that gets more sun, just try sowing some seed in pots in a sunny area. Works really well. I try to sow some Cilantro every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to keep a crop going. I also allow some to go to seed & harvest, dry, & use them as well. Cilantro seed is commonly called Coriander, & when mature & dry can be harvested & ground for spice use. |
After Cilantro is fully blooming, there won't be many leaves left that are the larger ones you want. Those lacy ones aren't very desirable. Fall and winter are good for growing Cilantro here in Texas, but I don't know about colder parts of the country. |
OK, so if my cilantro begins to bloom and becomes "lacey" at the top, has it run it's course and should I reseed? |
Yes, it's run its course for foliage use, but you can leave some of the flowers to set seed which, once mature & dry, you can easily store, dry, & grind for use in recipes. The seeds are what you commonly buy in the market as "Coriander". "Coriander" & "Cilantro" are the same plant - one name is used for the seed; one for the foliage. Once the seed is mature I usually freeze it for a short spell to kill any bugs that might be present - then I just store it in a jar with my other spices. I usually sow Cilantro every few weeks so that I always have a fresh supply coming on. |
There's a new variety of Cilantro called "Slo-Bolt" that I'm going to try this season but haven't planted yet. Supposedly it is supposed to be more heat-resistant & slower to bolt & go to seed. |
There are some "slow bolting" varieties that have worked out for me in Mass and Maine. Not sure how they'd work in hot areas. 3 hrs not enough for sturdy stems. Yep. grind those corriander seeds up and smell them, makes you want to do some cookin. |
Everyone so far has sort of bemoaned the "bolting" or flowering of Cilantro (Coriander, Chinese Parsley). Personally, I find the small white flower clusters and the somewhat lacy gray-green leaves rather pretty - especially en masse, as mine are now: about ten plants all in bloom at once. As for the resulting coriander seeds, I find I need not re-sow: they tend to do it themselves. But, of course, for a continuous supply, frequent plantings are necessary. And I find the "lacy" leaves have the same aroma and flavor, but having less "mass", require more for the same level of flavor in recipes. In my garden here in a very moderate climate in So. Cal, the cilantro gets roughly 4 hours of direct sunlight, and does qite well. It's been growing in the same spot for several years now - reseeding itself. (Being readily available in stores here, I need not replant. |
Exactly what do you mean by bolting? |
Bolting is when a plant - be it Cilantro, Parsley, Lettuce, whatever - suddenly sends up a flower stalk & sets seed. Once the plant has done this, quality leaf production effectively comes to an abrupt end as the plant has accomplished what it was supposed to do. |
As an aside, certain cultures, Thai in particular, use the roots of cilantro as an ingredient as well. This is the first year I've grown my own, so I don't really know what the flavor is like. Anyone out there know? |

Can we keep cutting the top off, so the bottom leaves keep producing? Thanks. |
catherine, after reading all the wonderful posts about cilantro - i was going to ask the same question you did - good question! when you deadhead flowers, you get more flowers - does this work with cilantro? i was wondering the same about dill and herbs in general. should you cut it back before it goes to seed to get more dill. does the dill start to diminish after it flowers? vickey |
- Posted by CatherineT z5 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 9, 05 at 22:16
I'm bumping this up, since it went to the second page, and there are questions. Thanks! |
I also would like to know: good question! when you deadhead flowers, you get more flowers - does this work with cilantro? i was wondering the same about dill and herbs in general. should you cut it back before it goes to seed to get more dill. does the dill start to diminish after it flowers? |
Unfortunately, deadheading doesn't work with Cilantro because once it bolts, the foliage it produces is thin & ferny - like dill - & the flavor is quite diminished. Cutting off the flowers just produces more of this highly inferior foliage. It's not worth it. And since Cilantro grows so quickly from seed, you're much better off just sowing more. I usually sow every 2-3 weeks during the summer to ensure a constant good supply. |
- Posted by tnschaffer (My Page) on Fri, Jun 24, 05 at 16:47
Cutting the flowers off does not work, but will cutting the leaves off help? I mean, we eat cilantro almost daily...so I am constantly trimming off leaves. Will this slow down the bolting? Thanks! |
Won't help once the plant decides to flower. Again - sow new seed every couple of weeks. That's really the only way to ensure a steady supply of quality Cilantro. |
- Posted by tnschaffer (My Page) on Fri, Jun 24, 05 at 20:43
Thanks. Think I will start harvesting it now and freezing it. I've got 5 plants going right now. Some look like they may be getting ready to bolt. Some are just starting out. |
- Posted by Flwr_Zab_z5a CT (My Page) on Mon, Jul 11, 05 at 17:28
Someone mentioned freezing cilantro -- what does that involve? Just putting the dried leaves in a bag?? Any complications? How long is it good for? Is the taste the same or similar? Thanks! |
- Posted by Nick222(firstname.lastname@example.com) onMon, May 29, 06 at 17:42
I just got a cilantro plant (already started growing) and have transferred it to a pot which I plan on keeping it and any other resulting plants in as they grow during the year. Since I've transplanted it, the stalks have wilted down quite a bit. I know with other plants I've had, like sage, if I cut them back at the stem, they grow back stronger and better. Will this work for cilantro too? Also, I'll try exposing it to more sun in the meantime to increase the stalk strength. Thanks |
So when harvesting cilantro, it sounds like about 40 days from planting? When harvesting, do we snip it or rip it? If we snip it, does the plant grow back, or is it game over? I'm thinking of starting a salsa garden, and my wife and I both love cilantro. Also, how much should I expect to get out of a single seed packet? Thanks!! |
- Posted by gborosteve (My Page) on Wed, Jun 14, 06 at 17:50
Just thought I'd mention....after mine bolted and was transplanted into the ground from a container where it was restricted, I had problems with slugs. Watch out for those little buggers. An open container (can or small bowl) of stale beer buried at ground level will attract them and they will drown. They're attracted to the yeast smell, or something like that. |
Cilantro stems have a flavor similar to the leaves and can be used. Good for stews. |

I am new at gardening, I just kind of got swept away in it a few months ago. This is probably a stupid question but, I was wondering if I could start growing cilantro any time of the year if they are inside? my apartment is always 72 degrees and the four cilantro plants I have now are doing well and starting to bolt. |
Cain, i am also from Arkansas, and have just begun growing herbs for my mother. She wanted fresh herbs, so I took charge of trying to get her some fresh herbs. She was really interested in cilantro. I have planted Sweet Basil, Oregano, Cilantro, Parsley,Garlic Chives, and onion for her. AR_Dramaqueen |

I just got a small cilantro pot a few days ago and some of the leaves have dried up. The plant has also slumped over, it is not upright. I thought the plant was wilting so I watered it frequently, but it still doesn't look very healthy. Does anyone know what is wrong with my plant? What should I do? |
It needs sun, and doesn't like a lot of heat. If the primary leaves have died out, they will not return. Once they do die out, the plant will start to send up a thinner group of leaves, more like a fern. Then stalks of tiny flower clusters, which turn ito coriander seeds (actually fruits). Once it starts to bolt, it will not grow back to form new flat leaves again. Pick the flat leaves that you can see, that are still green. Avoid overwatering. |
To freeze cilantro, parsley, basil etc: Harvest the leaves/branches, wash with cool water. Remove any undesirable parts (stems, brown or discolored leaves, etc) and spin the leaves dry in a salad spinner. Put into a ziplock freezer bag and burp all of the air out. I've found it works well to squish it all fairly flat when filling the bag for freezing. That way its easy to open the bag, break off a tablespoon or so, and then zip it shut again. |
If you are growing it for leaves you need to sow directly outdoors in partial shade. However if you are growing it for seeds only you need to plant it in full sun. It dislikes excess moisture or humidity. Coriander roots are tall and it is difficult to transplant. Hence does best if sowed in its final place.You can try growing it indoors in peat pots 4-6 weeks before planting outdoors. Seeds need darkness to germinate.Each seedball has 2 seeds. Thus,to prevent overcrowding lightly crush it with a rolling pin before soaking and planting. Hope it helps ! :) Neerukat |
I much perefer not to use 'peat pots'. They simply don't break down well enough, and fast enough. I used to start some seeds in them, but when I pulled up the plants in late fall, the still had most of the peat pot holding on many roots. Cow Pots are new and work well, as to regular plastic pots. Because I start many items from seed, I bought a 1000 pots that will last me for quite some time as many are reusable. The size I prefer are square 2x2x3-4 inches deep. I also use seed starting mixes that are sterile and contain no disease, bugs, or weed seeds. In all the years of planting this way, rarely have I lost any plants after being transplanted outside. |
Paper pots also work fine. Cilantro also likes its roots cool to prevent from bolting. Mulching works.Does not like hot afternoon sun. JUst morning sun is enough. |
A couple of people have asked the same question that I have but the suggestions don't seem to work. I planted cilantro seeds about 4 weeks ago and the plants are 4 inches tall with small leaves but the stem looks very frail and the plants seems unable to stand. I have been watering them very carefully and moving the pot around to allow for sun during the morning and late afternoon but kept it in the shade during the heat in the afternoon but it has not helped. The leaves are also very small. Any suggestions? |
- Posted by cyrus_gardner (My Page) on Mon, May 18, 09 at 20:52
It sounds like they are not getting enough sun and heat. But you can pour a fistfull of fine soil around each to hold them up untill they grow stronger roots. Don't worry about getting too much heat at this stage. Let them grow more first.Then provide then cooler spot with less sun. |

Cilantro is a cool loving plant and will bolt in hot weather. As for freezing it depends on how long you Want to keep the leaves. If you are just going to use it in a few months I just place it into a baggy and freeze. If you want to save it longer it needs to be vaccum sealed or it will get freezer burn (the mosture will come out of the leaves and they will dry out and lose a lot of flavor as well as take on flavors you just won't like. |
- Posted by tn_veggie_gardner 6 (My Page) on Wed, May 20, 09 at 12:34
A few very simple, very important things to remember when growing Cilantro. They love being grown in bunches. They do not like a lot of heat, but love a lot of sun. |
- Posted by Susan Lee(firstname.lastname@example.com) onThu, Jul 7, 11 at 17:28
Ok, not sure if anyone still reads/checks this forum? I have found the information very helpful. I do have a question? My cilantro is in a large pot and is nicely forming the coriander seeds. They are still green. There is also very little of the fern type leaves still on the plant. I see that the general opinion is that the seeds need to dry out turn tan/brown before harvesting. this might be silly, but do I continue to water the plant or just let it dry out? |

I'd continue watering. You don't want to kill the plant; you want to let the seeds dry naturally on the living plant, then harvest the seeds. The plant itself will die at some point, but don't kill it by under- (or over-) watering. |

This subject may have been beat to death by now, but I'll throw in my 2 cents. Remember that cilantro is an annual, not a perennial like sage; it grows for one cycle, sets seeds and the plant dies. As others have pointed out, the best way to ensure a continuous supply of cilantro during hot weather is to keep planting seeds, and the plants do best if sown and not transplanted. However, germinating seeds in soil temps above 80F is difficult. Mulching and sowing seeds in a garden spot that is shaded in late afternoon by other plants can help. Also, root temperatures above 75F triggers bolting, so plants growing in a pot are likely to bolt sooner. Here in zone 7, we let our cilantro go to seed each spring and reap a double bonus: the white flowers attract beneficial insects and the resulting seeds sprout again in the fall...everywhere! Sometimes we have plants overwinter and we can even scrounge a few leaves for winter cooking. |
So once the cilantro starts to bolt do I have to dig it up and place new seeds? I'm very new to this and very uneducated. |
There's no need to dig it up. You can let it seeds and use the seeds in cooking or just let it self sow. But you will need to keep sowing at regular intervals to have a continuous fresh supply. |

Autumn 2001
The artist behind Norman Bates
Fatal Coincidences: The Art of Alfred Hitchcock
6 June-24 September 2001 Pompidou Centre, ParisThe artist Edward Hopper was said to have been ecstatic when told that Alfred Hitchcock had drawn inspiration for the Bates house in Psycho from his painting House by the Railroad (1925). Hopper, himself a great movie lover, may have been even more impressed had he realised the extent to which his \\\'urban gothic\\\' may have influenced the overall mise-en-scene of the movie or, for that matter, the extent to which Hitchcock entwined what many still consider to be the separate worlds of fine art and cinema.
For almost its entire existence, debate has surrounded cinema\\\'s status as an art form, a criticism dismissed correctly by Dominique Paini, curator of \\\'Fatal Coincidences\\\' an exhibition exploring the link between Hitchcock and the broader art movements of the late nineteenth and twentieth century. The exhibition at the Pompidou Centre (transferred from Montreal), not only helps place cinema formally within the pantheon of fine art but as the dominant visual form of the past 100 years.
As with the critics from Cahiers du Cinema in the 1950s, it is again the Francophone world who, two years after his centenary, have staged a truly genuine homage to the man Godard described as \\\'The greatest creator of forms of the twentieth century.\\\'
Despite his populist success and genuine universal appeal, Hitchcock\\\'s work has always juxtaposed itself easily with that of Bergman, Renoir or Fellini. Yet while his contribution as an artist to world cinema is in little doubt, it is as an artist in the wider established sense that he should also be remembered, compared to and revered alongside the major names of the era - spoken of in the same breath as Duchamp, Matisse, Ernst and Magritte - all of whom have work which features heavily throughout the impressive collection on display.
\\\'There are ten thousand people who haven\\\'t forgotten Cezanne\\\'s apple, but there must be a billion spectators who remember the lighter of the stranger on the train.\\\' (Jean Luc Godard)
The exhibition consists of fourteen independently themed displays, the first entitled \\\'Fetishism\\\', highlights Hitchcock\\\'s unique and uncanny ability to turn everyday objects into icons, in a way that contemporary global brand managers can only dream of. Individually encased in glass and positioned on red velvet cushions, as if displayed at Tiffany\\\'s, a pair of scissors, broken spectacles, a razor or that lighter, present visitors not with elevated props, but conduits into the world of cinema, each one conjuring a sense of déjà vu, automatically recalling pivotal scenes from Dial M for Murder, The Birds, Spellbound or Strangers on a Train.
However, Hitchcock was not merely a creator of images but an auteur of dreams, albeit at times with a deep sense of foreboding. Like the incubus of our deepest fears, he haunted the spaces he created with an authoritative yet often restrained presence, like the shadowy figures of a De Chirico.
Despite the continual and singularly dark overtures made about him by critics, Hitchcock twinned this lingering menace with a great comic talent, and one of the most popular and light-hearted displays, \\\'Apparitions\\\' is given over to the various appearances he made in his own movies. A frequent theme of artists over the centuries has been the recurrence of the self-portrait and even here Hitchcock re-examined the relationship between artist and self as subject, establishing the cinematic cameo. Whether being tormented by an unruly child (Blackmail), missing a bus, (North By North West) or casting a final expressionistic silhouette (Family Plot), it soon became clear that Hitchcock\\\'s cameos were more than just narcissistic foibles but a deeper machination of the artist\\\'s relationship with his work. Renowned for his almost obsessive casting of \\\'icy\\\' blondes for his female leads, Hitchcock\\\'s men were not just his alter egos but also his binary opposites. Tall, dark, handsome, sophisticated and romantically successful, Peck, Stewart and Grant all got the girls that he could not. Hitchcock\\\'s seemingly humorous manifestations should then be viewed like the proverbial tears of a clown, the cinematic equivalent of Van Gogh\\\'s bandaged head, the melancholic image of unrequited love.
Considering the thorough and inclusive nature of work in this exhibition, one name glaringly stands out by its absence. Allowing for their status and contemporaneousness, Pablo Picasso is surely the only artist who could challenge Hitchcock as the most potent of all image-makers. Yet defining the nebulous void created by his omission only serves to strengthen the link for, as Paini retorts, \\\'Hitchcock is Picasso. Picasso is not included because he is everywhere.\\\'
The breadth and abundance of work from both men was a key aspect in their longevity, neither being tied or restricted to a single style or period, constantly moving in and out of - and even mixing - genres. Hitchcock\\\'s mainstream label as the master of suspense may have been apt but never paid homage to the influence of avant-garde movements, such as Expressionism and Surrealism, within his work. Similarly to call Picasso a Cubist is to see only half the picture. Equally, while both men reconstructed the traditional view of women within their given fields, they have both divided opinion among mainstream and feminist critics alike over the years.
And with Hitchcock\\\'s known interest and study of art history, it is easy to trace the fractured reflections of Vera Miles in \\\'Mother\\\'s\\\' bedroom mirrors from Psycho to their antecedents in the abstracted forms of Picasso\\\'s Demoiselles.
Befitting the twists so intrinsic to Hitchcock, the exhibition too holds its surprises. In \\\'Birds\\\', the final display, before re-entering the light from the beckoning souvenir stall, leaving visitors are confronted by some potent ornithological representations from art and folklore, none more so than Eldon Garnet\\\'s genuinely chilling Non (1997).
The continual revisiting of Hitchcock\\\'s work by critics, artists, writers, film-makers and even musicians, can only bear testament to the legacy which he has left behind and the foundation laid for others to build upon. Director Brian DePalma, one of the most frequent visitors to the Hitchcock well, may have paid the ultimate and most fitting complement when he said of his influence \\\'If cinema has a language, then Alfred Hitchcock is its grammar.\\\' For a fan of cinema this fascinating exhibition is a rare treat.

25 reasons the Denver music scene rules
05. People here will take you as seriously as any band from out of town
Around here, a lot of people get just as excited -- if not more -- about bands like Speedwolf and Havok as they do Metallica. And for good reason: Those bands totally kick ass, and you wanna know what? When you think about it, Metallica is really just a local band from San Francisco.
04. You have a legitimate shot at opening for a national act JAWBREAKER PHOTOGRAPHY DJ Ishe
That last sentiment perhaps explains why you frequently see local acts opening for bigger national acts -- and, in some cases, even outshining them. The reason is simple: The folks making music here are no joke and can completely hold their own. Ask Skrillex about the time Ishe opened for him at Beta.
03. You have a legitimate shot at performing at Red Rocks
It's no secret that entire tours are planned around performing at Red Rocks. Many artists view playing there as a career-defining achievement -- and it is. You have to rise to a certain level of prominence to play there, and some may never scale that peak. Yet every summer, a select few local bands get the privilege of playing in front of a sold-out audience at Film on the Rocks.
Eric Gruneisen Rachel & the Kings at this year's Hometown for the Holidays concert
02. The radio will actually play your songs
Oh, here's the other unique thing about Denver. If your songs are good enough, there's a better-than-average chance that you'll get to hear your songs played on the radio, either on a weekly specialty show or maybe even in regular rotation if you make the cut during KTCL's annual Hometown for the Holidays promotion, in which ten local bands are guaranteed airtime every year just before Christmas. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Jon Solomon
01. We take care of our own
While there are stories on the news virtually every day that continue to erode your faith in humanity, for every inexplicable act of senseless cruelty, there's heartwarming story after heartwarming story of how the people in our music community have set aside their differences and come together to help one of their own, whether it's raising money to help pay for medical expenses (see Jim Norris or Karen Cuda benefits) or simply reaching out when someone else is down or in need after a harrowing loss (see wildfire benefits).

Property type | studio |
Minimum Stay | 2 nights |
Our studio, Pueo's Perch, (named for the Hawaiian Owl) is located on the slopes of Hualalai on the Big Island of Hawaii. We are in the area known as Holualoa, which is considered Upcountry Kona. Holualoa is known as an Artist's & Coffee community~ well demonstrated in our quaint village center. Pueo's Perch is at the 1200 ft elevation, so we enjoy cool mornings & evenings with a healthy dose of sunshine in between. We are located just 15 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes from the coastal town of Kailua-Kona, 10 minutes from the Artists' Village of Holualoa and just 10 minutes from Costco. A number of wonderful beaches are also within this 10-15 minute drive time...access to all you wish to explore is simple.
Holualoa is a rural area with an old neighborhood feel. We are friendly with all our neighbors, human & animal alike. Our area is generally pretty quiet. There is some road noise during peak commuting hours, but Kona is a sleepy town, so that never lasts long.
This quaint studio sits apart from the main house on the back of our 10,000 sqft property, with its own parking and pathway. This is a loft studio with Koa and Bamboo flooring throughout and a large outdoor, covered lanai. Unique island artists touches give a nod to our gallery village nearby. Pueo's Perch comes turn-key furnished. A full kitchen allows you to prepare as many meals as you'd like. There is a full bathroom with tiled shower stall, as well as large closet to store your luggage. The hallway, bath and closet do have lower than normal ceiling heights. These areas are 6'7' in ceiling height.
The main sleeping area is a loft, requiring the climbing of built-in ladder. There is a full-size bed and room to stow your personal items in the loft** (see photos for configuration)** The main living area also features a couch that converts easily into a full-size futon. The living area is simply furnished with natural woods and local treasures. TV & DVD player & free WiFi. The front entry way is covered and screened and has a washer/dryer located here for your convenience. A large, covered lanai offers additional space to enjoy the fresh air, watch the birds & butterflies, listen to the fountain and perhaps do some stretching or napping.
This unit is perfect for one couple +, maximum 4 people. Okay for children, but please note that we do not claim to be child-proof. The overall square footage including the loft area & lanai is 500 sqft. This studio is not handicap accessible as it has stone steps to entry and ladder to sleeping loft.
Pueo's Perch shares the backyard with our main house, but, by all means feel free to meander and sniff a rose in bloom. We enjoy tinkering in the garden very much and as a result there is quite a variety of flowers, foliage & vegetables planted all around the yard. There is a small pond with plants, fish, and Cattaleya, our pet turtle. We welcome wishes always...look for the little pot with glittery glass to make your wish with. There are pets on the property, as well. Several cats deem us worthy to feed them. They will all be as friendly as you'd like them to be, but are happy to mind their own business too.
Kailua-Kona itself is host to several world-renowned events, including the Ironman Triathlon in October, the International Billfishing Tournament in August. Humpback whale watching is a favorite activity from October through March. Madam Pele has been putting on quite a spectacular show at the Kilauea Volcano with active lava flows regularly visible. Big Island activities, in general, tend to be just that, active! Hiking, surfing, snorkeling, scubadiving, golfing, horseback riding, sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding & star gazing are just a few! We welcome your questions and truly enjoy sharing the unique qualities of our Island home.
Ilana, who grew up in D.C., and David, who grew up in Santa Barbara & Hawaii met in Santa Cruz in 1994. We moved to the Big Island together in 1998 and bought this property in 2000. David is a master finish carpenter and Ilana is a Doula, artist & Aromatherapist. We enjoy raising our two children and squeezing in fun things like surfing, camping, hiking, music & friends wherever we can.
Ilana Maxwell purchased this studio in 2000
We fell in love this the whole property because of its unique history and a certain calling we felt to it. The main house was originally built in 1908, an original Kona Coffee Shack, and the land was never bulldozed, leaving a large lava flow untouched in the backyard area. Pueo's Perch, the studio, was originally built as a sound studio by the owner's previous to us. David rebuilt it into what you now enjoy as Pueo's Perch. Holualoa is also a magical area. Ilana first visited the area at age 18 and made a mental note to return and settle. Nearly ten years later this home called us both into stewardship.
Pueo's Perch is situated at the cool 1200ft elevation in the Historic Holualoa District. Kona Coffee is world renowned and we sit in the heart of its past, present & future. Local farms offer tours & tasting. Free tours are offered at Hula Daddy Coffee Farm 5 days a week just across the street from Pueo's Perch. Just 7 miles South in the village of Holualoa are local artist galleries, cafes, a general store & post office. A 10 minute drive down the hill will bring you to Kailua-Kona town itself or the main highway and points beyond. The Kona Coast is known for pristine snorkeling, surfing, scuba diving, golfing, fishing, dolphin & whale watching and other abundant leisure activities.

The Wildest Card: 2008
The ancient Greek poet Archilochus said, "The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing." Let me submit that we're living through the final months of the hedgehog presidency of one George W. Bush, whose greatest failure has been his lack of strategic imagination.
Now, as the 2008 presidential campaign gears up, let me presume to offer this: avoid hedgehogs. Don't listen to candidates who tell you this whole election boils down to one thing and one thing alone. We need a president with more than one answer to every question, one whose tool kit is as diverse as his -- or her -- ideology is flexible. We need a deal maker, a compromiser, a closer. We need someone able to finish what others cannot and start that which others dare not.
We need a leader who knows many things, because we've had quite enough of those who know only one big thing.
Read Thomas P.M. Barnett's "Author's Commentary" to get his current take on this situation.

Boys could be at higher risk of autism than girls because they are exposed to higher testosterone levels in the womb, a leading expert will argue at Cardiff University next week.
Professor Simon Baron-Cohen from the University of Cambridge is one of the UK's foremost authorities on autism. His public lecture on Monday (March 14) will examine how hormones affect the mind's development - particularly how higher levels of testosterone link to higher levels of autistic traits.
The lecture, organised jointly by the Society for Neuroscience Wales Chapter and Cardiff University's Neuroscience and Mental Health Research Institute, is part of Brain Awareness Week.
The week involves a series of events designed to raise awareness of new and emerging research in neuroscience and the treatment of mental illness.
Professor Baron-Cohen explained: "Autism affects males more often than females. The explanation for this must either lie in diagnostic practice, hormones, genetics, or a mix of all three.
"My lecture will summarise the work we've been doing to test this theory – as a result of which we've concluded that foetal testosterone is a key factor underlying social development and may play a part in autism."
Professor Baron-Cohen's research and his lecture will focus on three specific areas. The first will consider the role of foetal testosterone in later social and communication development and in the development of autistic traits.
Second, the evidence for hormone dysregulation and its role in the development of autism will be considered. Finally, the association between candidate genes that regulate testosterone and autism will be discussed.
He will finish by discussing the evidence for the link between testosterone and autistic traits, focusing on rare medical conditions where foetal testosterone is elevated – in such conditions as Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.
Cardiff University is a leading centre for research into autism. In September 2010, the Wales Autism Research Centre was launched under the Directorship of Professor Sue Leekam.
Professor Leekam said: "We are delighted that autism will be the subject of this year's Cardiff University's public lecture. Professor Baron-Cohen is internationally recognised for his pioneering research examining how hormones affect how the mind develops. His lecture will be of enormous interest to a broad public audience."
Simon Baron-Cohen is Professor of Developmental Psychopathology in the Departments of Psychiatry and Experimental Psychology at the University of Cambridge. He is also Director of Cambridge University's Autism Research Centre.
As well as examining the foetal testosterone theory of autism, he is also internationally recognised for his early theory that autism involves degrees of 'mind-blindness 'and his later theory that autism is an extreme form of the 'male brain'.
The lecture Do hormones affect how your mind develops? The Foetal Testosterone Theory of Autism is fully booked. Members of the public can view the lecture live on Cardiff University's Neuroscience and Mental Health Research Institute website, www.cardiff.ac.uk/research/neuroscience, at 6.30pm on Monday 14th March 2011.

"this recipe was super easy and very good. I mixed wasabi powder into the ground macadamia nuts along with black sesame seeds. I was out of ground ginger, but I would have added that, too. I love my tuna with a kick to it.

My "better half" has specifically requested broccoli in this spring's garden. My seed starting set up is already maxed out with the tomatoes, peppers and eggplants that will be going into the flats in a few weeks...
Can I successfully direct sow broccoli in the garden? If so, what time range and soil temp are the best targets? Any advice on soil prep, row spacing, etc. would also be appreciated. If direct seeding is out, I guess I'd better get to work on more lights and supplies... Thanks! Blessings... |

Info from THE KITCHEN GARDEN GROWERS' GUIDE (Amazon) Broccoli: |
Here is a link that might be useful: HarvestToTable.com
I live in South Florida. Set the broccoli plants in pots and then just threw some on the beds. The ones on the beds gave better results. (Just my experience). Currently they are about 8" tall and I have much more than I expected |
Steve, Here in central In. I sow seeds in plastic pots about the 22nd of March and plan to transplant them out on the 15th of April...weather permitting. the worst thing for broccoli is to leave them in pots too long or if direct seeded , to not thin them early enough. They can be direct seeded about the 17th of April. A strip of clear plastic over the soil until the seeds first start to coming up will help greatly and it also keeps cold rains off. The plastic is optional and MUST be removed as soon as any seeds come up. Broccoli needs about 24 inches or so between plants. Several plants grown in a group is good as the plants will shade the soil better. |
So I have a question for the experts. My last frost is mid-April (Wilmington, DE is April 10, Williamsport, PA is April 30)...so I'm figuring Havertown is mid-April since we're about 15 miles out of Wilmington... ANYHOW...I want to start my broccoli indoors and then transplant outside. My question is....can I transplant earlier than my last frost date IF I use a coldframe over it? I have panes of glass that I could essentially put over my raised beds to make a makeshift coldframe. Thoughts? I'd like to get them in the ground mid-end of March to get a 2-4 week jump on the grow season. Thanks in advance, Pam |

Feng Shui and Vastu Shastra (Sans the Spiritual Stuff)
The core principles of these ancient domestic practices offer smart decorating solutions even skeptics can appreciate
By Carla Jordan
Though popular in many decorating circles, Feng Shui and Vastu Shastra always seemed a bit out there to us. Sure, they've been practiced for centuries and are widely said to bring harmony into the home, but let's be honest, worshipping a Saarinen chair is about the closest we'll ever get to mixing decorating and spirituality. But just when we thought the craze was through, a recent surge of stylish and seemingly practical books hit our desk. We took a closer look and discovered that the key principles of these ancient practices were more in line with our decorating beliefs than we thought.
So for the rest of you skeptics, here's an overview of the two schools, what they—and we—have in common from a decorative point of view, and the best principles to draw from to create a more positive and streamlined space.
Ancient Practices at a Glance
Feng Shui
Dating back over 3,000 years, Feng Shui is Chinese for "wind and water" and is about using environmental factors and their energy flow (or "ch'i") correctly to enhance and prosper in life. "Feng Shui is based on the idea that everything in your outer surroundings affects the course of your life," says Jayme Barrett, author of Feng Shui Your Life. Serious practitioners consider it a holistic art that applies to home, work, health and relationships. Feng Shui has gained a foothold in the U.S. over the last 20 years as a way to regain a sense of balance and calm in our increasingly frenetic, stressful way of life.
Vastu Shastra
The India-derived Vastu Shastra is said to be the basis for Feng Shui and has recently gained Western popularity for its eco-conscious appeal. "When translated 'Vastu' means 'the environment' and is about building homes that are in harmony with nature," according to Muktirajsinhji Chauhan, of the School of Architecture in Ahmedabad, India. As going green continues to grow in popularity so does Vastu Shastra for its embrace of all things eco.
Common Links and the Decorative Takeaway
Although quite different in many ways, Feng Shui and Vastu Shastra share some common core timeless design approaches that sound familiar to us but are made better from their enlightened perspective.
• Clutter gives way to order. This commonsense principle is something we all know works without thinking too hard. Physically de-cluttering the home helps clears the mind of toxic thoughts, which make us more receptive for contemplation and receiving positive energy.
• Colors cue moods. The palette to embrace is one that satisfies the range of human emotion: pink and orange trigger joy; green and blue create calm; red inspires passion; black and white embody grace. Decorate with colors that please you and positive energy will flow undisrupted from your self to your abode.
• Light is truly illuminating. The choice of lighting sets the tone for a room. Flooding the home with early-morning light awakens the mind with a gentle reminder of the possibilities that lie ahead. Lower the lights and it will trigger the day's end ritual of relaxation. For those that enter you home, low light emits a sense of intrigue. A bright light welcomes.
• Nature belongs indoors too. Whether home is in the country or in an urban setting, plant life and natural elements form a connection to the great outdoors. No matter how high tech life may be, the spirit can be best nurtured by Mother Nature.
To start you down an enlightened (or at least well-decorated) path, check out the interiors and product picks that put tips from Feng Shui experts Jayme Barrett, Terah Kathryn Collins, and Lillian Too along with Vastu Shastra expert Kathleen Cox into practice. These pros know that by incorporating the principles of ancient times, we can all get our ch'i flowing positively and live more in harmony with the nature around us.

Health concerns bring attention to tattoo festival
Jordan Crawford | 8/15/2013, 10:44 a.m.
It seems the best way to express newly acquired adulthood now is to get a tattoo. Well, Virginia Beach plans to treat amateur adults to a possible field day, along with others of a ripened age, but there is a hitch.
A tattoo festival is in the works, but a regulation has become a public health concern for city officials, and a hassle for event planners.
Less than a week before Virginia Beach's first tattoo festival, the city and a festival promoter are quarreling over whether visiting tattoo artists need to show proof they have hepatitis B vaccination shots.
City Attorney Mark Stiles says the city code requires it -- end of story.
"The issue is some of these folks may not have the inoculation," he said.
Festival co-founder John Cann said Virginia tattoo artists have the shots because state code requires it, but they might have trouble finding the paperwork, especially if they had their shots years ago. Artists coming to the event from other states might not be required to have the shots and as a result cannot participate in the festivities. Hepatitis B is a contagious disease of the liver spread by infected blood and other body fluids.
Cann said he had planned on having about 200 tattoo artists from across the country at the festival but is worried some might not come because of the law.
The Virginia Beach Tattoo Festival is scheduled for August 16-18 at the convention center. Cann said he expects 20,000 attendees.
Besides tattooing, the event will include circus sideshows, a pin-up girl contest, pro skateboarders, a mustache contest, live music and temporary tattoos for kids.
Cann, also the publisher of Twisted Ink, a magazine of tattoo culture, organized the Hampton Roads Tattoo Festival in Hampton for the past three years. He said that the city did not require proof of shots. He wonders whether Virginia Beach is deliberately trying to block the show.
City officials say they welcome the festival. Attorney Stiles said, "All we're saying is that you have to comply with that code section."

All your financial needs in one place!
Here you can get:
- Medical aid
- Hospital cover
- Gap cover
- Funeral cover
- Life insurance
- Personal loans
- Home loans
- Car insurance
- Household insurance
Medical aid, hospital cover and gap cover are the things you need to have for medical emergencies. Both medical aid and hospital cover will ensure that you are able to go to a private hospital and will pay out a certain amount of the costs. Gap cover is what covers the rest off the owed amount where medical aid falls short.
Funeral cover will cover your loved ones in the unfortunate event that you pass away. They should not have to worry about paying for your funeral while they should be mourning and recovering. Life insurance will also pay out after your death, but generally takes longer and is taken out rather to help your family financially after your death, since they won't have your income anymore.
Personal loans are at your disposal if you find yourself in the middle of a financial crisis and home loans will help you buy that home of your dreams.
Protect the things you love with car and household insurance so that you can rest peacefully knowing that if something breaks or gets stolen, it's covered.

I'm a Bulgarian married to an Englishman and living in the UK. Currently a full time mum and a part time mature student.
I love travelling around Europe and sampling different local foods. It gives me inspiration.
Today's western society is so taken with career/money chasing that people don't pay attention to simple pleasures like food. They look at it as something that stuffs your stomach and stops you from being hungry, no matter what it is. There is so much more to it - it's art. Nowadays people don't have any product knowledge - ask an average man to pick out an aubergine out of a pile of different fruit and veg and he'll fail. BUT a lot of them know the McDonalds menu by heart - sad, ah? I think we should go back to being bohemians and eat beautiful food and drink beautiful wine.
I love Meditteranean food, espacially Greek, possibly because Greek cuisine is so similar to Bulgarian.I love anything that contains feta cheese - the best thing ever.
I also admire French quisine for its being so sophisticated and so rustic at the same time.

Jay Z's Barneys controversy, yet another J. Law cover (not that we're complaining), and more of today's top stories
Jay Z hasn't had an easy go of maintaining his holiday collaboration with Barneys New York and his integrity following consumer claims of racial profiling. The latest installment in the saga? The artist formerly known as Shawn Carter announced that notable changes would be made in the partnership, including, but not limited to, his own advancement to a "leadership role" and seat on "a council specifically convened to deal with the issue of racial profiling." Well played? Also, they canceled his launch party. [NY Times]

These one-of-a-kind, custom-fitted, spike-covered, bright red Christian Louboutin boots will run you a totally reasonable $30,000. Would you dish out that much cash for 'em if you had that much to spare?

Just recently, when we lower our garage door, it does not come down evenly. (we do not have a garage door opener). We have lived in this house (purchased new), for 8 years and this has just recently occured. We can tell it is uneven because you can see about 1-1/2 inches of white paint on the left side of the door, and the right side has part of the tan paint (color of the door), hidden behind the wall. The door hits the cement floor level, but seems to be an inch or 2 off center. Any ideas on how this happens/how to fix it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I just recently replaced the gear on my older craftsman garage door opener and have tried everything to get it to run properly. It will run for 6-10 inches and then stop and reverse itself. Is it possble that the motor has gone bad in it? I have replaced several gears on this unit and have never encountered this problem with the motor running like this, I even took the chain off like you suggested to anther person to try and get the motor to reengage itself. Any suggestions? Tony. |
For the OP, what type of a spring assist system does your door have? If torsion type, it sounds like the cable that attaches to the bottom of the door on one side hangs down farther than the one on the other side, or is broken. Working on this mechanism can be trecherous due to the stored energy in the torsion spring when the door is closed. Repairs should probably be refered to an experienced garage door mechanic. If you have an extension spring type, I'd say one spring is misadjusted or sprung. I'd replace both springs. |
Tony, Breaking gears on a garage door opener is an indication that the opener is doing a lot of work to lift or lower the door. The craftsman openers are made by Chamberlain and that has always been their weak link. THe problem however may be caused by a weak or broken spring. Disconnect the door from the opener and lift it by hand stop at 1' off the floor 3' off the floor and 5' off the floor. At every point a balance door should stay put. A weak or brokien spring will cause the door too fall freely to the ground. If the door is somewhat in balance then try adjusting the down force on the opener. Also, take a look at the photobeams at the bottom. Sometimes they are barely aligned and when the door goes down they misalign causing a safety reversal. If you see the LED on the beams flash when the reverse happens then align the beams and check the wires to the opener. |

text: I'm really curious about how important y'all think reducing fat intake is in weight loss. I've read in Thin for Life that successful maintainers tend to eat a low fat diet, but I REALLY hate eating lowfat or fatfree yogurt, cheese, mayo, or salad dressing. :gross I also enjoy olives, olive oil, avocado, and almonds. When I've logged my food on Fitday, my fat intake is often around 40-45%, but it's primarily the so-called "healthy fats". I'm losing weight, so my feeling is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." What do you think? Do you reduce your fat intake? If so, why? Do you do it to reduce calories or for health reasons? If not, is it working for you? Please share!
