When John Antone founded Axis Music Academy and started developing his proprietary teaching method, the academy was a cramped four-studio Southfield office where he gave guitar lessons. Sixteen years later, Axis has blossomed into a quartet of spacious, well-lit facilities that have one specialty in common: turn individual musicians into bands. Supplied with 12 private studios and all necessary instruments and gear, students get to set their own goals and chart their own course to learning, composing, and recording music. Whether that journey starts with them working through their favorite song on the guitar or stubbornly trying to play the tuba with their ear, the teaching staff helps them reach their goals using the full benefit of their expertise. Budding virtuosos can then combine their strengths during a slate of rock bands, glee clubs, and other group activities.
Axis Music Academy is also currently Michigan?s only Apple-authorized training center, which saves prospective producers a trip out of state if they want to get certified and tested in industry-standard recording software such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton, Final Cut, and Garage Band ?all taught using a brand-new suite of computer stations and the industry-insider techniques of Charlie Grover, the former drummer of gold-certified rock band Sponge.
Lessons rarely stay confined to the classroom, since Axis lines up opportunities for students to show off what they've learned onstage at local venues, sports games, and even on air during the morning news. It also stays active in the Detroit-area community by participating in Axis Music Academy 501(C)3 and other programs.
Allure likened the hairdo-renovating experience at Ginger Group for Hair to speed dating. Referring to the salon's creative director, David Hockney, the magazine writes, "He fired off questions about our likes, dislikes, and profession." Using the information he acquired, Hockney crafted a face-flattering, personalized hairstyle that the contributor described as "love at first sight."
Putting clients in the hot seat is common practice at Ginger Group for Hair. The stylists take personalized services very seriously; individuality, after all, is half of their philosophy. The other half? Education. Trained in European techniques, each stylist has obtained advanced education in time-honored cutting, coloring, and snake-taming techniques. Yet, the learning never stops. The team stays hungry for knowledge about the salon industry's latest innovations and always seeks new ways to develop and build on its practices.
As a result of the team's dedication, its haircare services have earned acclaim from clients and multiple shout-outs from Allure. Ginger Group for Hair's success can also be attributed to the quality of its hairstyling products. Every service enlists help from environmentally conscious Texturizze products, which are enriched with natural, sustainably sourced ingredients that are friendly to Mother Nature's receding hairline.

Once inside Barrio Tacos and Tequila, one is immediately struck by the smoky blues and warm blooms of color that fill the space. Frosted panes of azure glass line one side of the restaurant, and vibrant murals overtake the other walls—the ones that aren't stacked with shelves of tequila bottles, anyway. Orange lights from above branch into glowing tendrils, studding the navy ceiling with miniature suns and illuminating the mortar and pestle on each table. These points of color are akin to the sparks of flavor inside the menu: pleasantly surprising and, in the words of the Detroit News, "bright and well-balanced."
Executive chef Ryan Porter is the brain behind Barrio's inventive recipes. As a teenager, Ryan cooked for his family every night, honing the creativity that would lead him through American-, Asian-, Italian-, and finally Mexican-themed kitchens. Today, he looks in all cardinal directions for culinary inspiration, fashioning platters in the style of Oaxaca and Acapulco, among other regions. He stuffs tortillas with nine types of taco fillings, including housemade chorizo. On the side, scoops of chili-dusted sweet corn transport guests to Mexico without forcing them to throw out the giant bottle of shampoo they keep hidden under their shirt.
A mermaid basks in the warm glow of track lighting, reaching to embrace a starfish as onlookers point and stare. This maritime beauty lives on a large mural inside Northern Lakes Seafood. She?s just one way the restaurant?voted Best Seafood Restaurant in Oakland County by Detroit Metro Times?celebrates the ocean?s many wonders.
In addition to a vast selection of seafood, Northern Lakes Seafood serves ribeye steak, chicken and waffles, house-made pasta, and kobe burgers. Fresh fish and shellfish arrive daily from Boston, Hawaii, Florida, and the Great Lakes each day, landing in the kitchen, where chefs broil, grill, and saut? them and drizzle on gourmet sauces such as beurre blanc and b?arnaise. To ensure that the fish is fresher than a mint-flavored iceberg, the chefs revise the menu each day, highlighting the newest catch available. In the lounge, guests can sip signature martinis and explore an oyster bar brimming with specimens from the East and West Coasts. The dining room teems with elegant decor such as ornate chandeliers, old-fashioned ceiling tiles, and burgundy carpet that matches the cabernets in the eatery?s wine library, which has won an award from Wine Spectator.
Tim Castañeda's culinary education began at his family's dinner table. Nourished by the fresh salsas and flavorful meats, Tim developed a deep appreciation for and understanding of the traditional flavors of Mexican cuisine. After cooking in his family's restaurants during his youth, Tim continued to perfect his recipes and spice blends in Mexican eateries throughout the country. He brings his years of experience to Zumba Mexican Grille, where he whips up freshly made tacos, burritos, and quesadillas reminiscent of the authentic dishes of his childhood.
Named for the Spanish slang word for "energy," Zumba bustles with color and zest—from its shiny stainless-steel counters and rainbows of wooden chairs to the skirt steak, red-chili pork, and fresh vegetables sizzling on its grills. When customers walk in, their first step is to pick meats, toppings, and black, pinto, or magic beans. Then the servers behind the counter begin building Mexican specialties—including the burritos, named the city's best by Real Detroit Weekly. After receiving their orders, guests stroll over to the fresh salsa bar, where six different housemade varieties in various spice levels await them.

Canandaigua National Corp. reported a 29 percent increase in third-quarter net income attributable to shareholders in what it expects to be its last public filing.
The parent of Canandaigua National Bank and Trust Co. reported net income of nearly $6.4 million, or $3.31 a diluted share, compared with $4.9 million, or $2.58 a share, in the third quarter of 2012.
The filing was made Friday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
In August, the company completed its tender offer to purchase all shares of its common stock held by persons owning 99 shares or fewer. The tender offer was successful in reducing the number of shareholders below 1,200.
On Sept. 3, the company filed for deregistration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result, the company will no longer be obligated to file periodic reports and proxy statements with the SEC, its filing states.

Iowa Land Owners Worry About Proposed Powerline
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) -- A group of Iowa land owners are organizing to fight a proposed $2 billion electric transmission line that would provide a boost to wind power in the state.
The proposed 500-mile line that a subsidiary of Clean Line Energy Partners wants to build would stretch from O'Brien County in northwest Iowa to Morris, Ill.
Ted and Kim Junker don't like the idea of the line crossing their farm in Grundy County. Kim Junker says the construction of towers for the line and maintenance could disrupt the farm and compact the soil.
Company officials say the transmission line would connect Iowa wind farms with communities in other states that want the electricity, and more wind projects would be possible.

What happens to a bullet fired on the moon?
First, we know that the bullet has the same initial velocity on the moon as it does on the Earth - that is, it exits the gun at the same speed. But as soon as it leaves the gun, it's a different story. First, the moon bullet doesn't have to contend with air resistance - with so little friction, it can maintain its speed longer than the Earth bullet can (it's analogous to shooting a hockey puck across ice, which has very little friction, and shooting a puck across sand, which has a lot of friction. The puck will travel a lot farther on the ice!)
Now, there is the issue of gravity. Assuming your bullet doesn't hit anything (a pretty safe bet on the moon, but don't try this on Earth!) and forgetting about air resistance, the time it takes for the bullet to fall to the ground depends on its initial velocity, the angle at which you shoot it, and the force of gravity.
There are several formulas to calculate how long it would take for the moon's gravity to bring a bullet to the ground (and we may visit them in a later 4-H Shooting Sports Science Blast!). The simple answer is... Neglecting air resistance, the bullet will go about 6 times farther on the moon than on Earth!
You might also ask, if the bullet were fired straight up, could it actually escape the moon's gravitational pull and fly off into space? To answer this, we have to compare the moon's "escape velocity" (the minimum velocity (speed) an object needs to escape the moon's gravity) to the bullet's initial velocity. The moon's escape velocity is about 2.38 km/s (about 5300 miles per hour), but a bullet typically travels at only 1 km/s (about 2200 miles per hour). So take cover - even in this case, what goes up must come down!
Something to think about!!

My granddaughter has a very small bedroom. My daughter is thinking of a daybed for her room . She will be four when she makes the change, she is now in a toddler bed. What are your opinions on using this as her bed, do you see any glaring problems with this idea. |

I think that should totally be the mother's and child's decision. |
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Wed, Jan 22, 14 at 21:54
My daughter had one at this age. I really like them, especially with a trundle underneath for sleepovers or house guests. Just make sure you get a good sturdy one. Ours was inexpensive metal and as she got older it just squeaked too much and we went to a regular bed. |
- Posted by maire_cate (My Page) on Wed, Jan 22, 14 at 22:08
My DD had one for several years when she was young. When we rearranged bedrooms it went into the guest room and as Joanie mentioned the trundle was great for sleepovers. My brother and his wife used it for a week when they visited and they thought it was fine. Since the daybed is placed against the wall it can be harder to make. |
- Posted by patty_cakes (My Page) on Wed, Jan 22, 14 at 22:31
Both my grands(the 2 in Tx)have one, and I also have one. They're great for guests as well as slumber parties, and take up less room. When the oldest grand is about 10, DD will get him a queen bed. Granted, they are more difficult to make, but that's where a coverlet vs a bedspread/comforter comes in handy. ;) |
- Posted by mtnrdredux (My Page) on Wed, Jan 22, 14 at 22:39
I don't like them for adults (they are annoying to sit on and don't replace a sofa IMHO), but for kids rooms I think they are great. I would echo that a trundle or storage underneath is a great idea. |
- Posted by lynninnewmexico (My Page) on Wed, Jan 22, 14 at 23:12
Having had one for the past 5 years, I agree with Mtnrdredux: they are great for kids but not so much for adults. For kids, I love the flexibility they offer, giving kids more day-to-day floor space to play on. For adults, though, they are too deep to make a comfortable sofa and too uncomfortable as beds. I sold ours right before Christmas, as my kids are both adults now. Lynn |
One of my kids has an IKEA Hemnes daybed as his bed. I took many naps there when the kids were babies -- personally I think it is the most comfortable bed in our house (don't tell DH). Storage underneath for extra blankets and off-season clothes. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hemnes daybed
Because you don't have access to both sides of the bed, they can be less convenient to change the sheets and make each morning. You are also limited in the placement, since they usually are placed against a wall. |
Thanks everyone for your opinions. Oaktown: That is the exact bed she is thinking of getting and putting a DIY king size headboard on the back as is done in this blog. Clever idea if anyone wants to take a look at this DIY. As far as making the bed, i guess it would be a pain but then again having extra space in the room would make up for it, I think. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Look here
My daughter, age 11 has one and loves it. It is like a couch for her and her friends and has a bed underneath for sleepovers. Still gives her plenty of floor space for "Just Dance" :) |
My 8 year old has had another IKEA daybed for a while (a discontinued dark-stained pine one). Her stuffed animals don't fall down the sides (three of them anyway). It's hard to make if you stick it in a corner but not too bad if you can access both ends. We wanted a storage bed so the drawers are nice. I don't think shorter adults should have a problem with it. Anyway, it's cute and functional. |
Following this thread with interest, as i have just purchased two of the pottery barn Stratton daybeds with wicker baskets underneath for our basement renovation. We have one room that will have these at right angles in a corner, facing a wall mounted flatscreen for videogames or movies, they are quite deep, so its obvious im going to have to have some really big back supports made for them to be used for seating. And there's no way a creaky old person would be able to get down to them or up from a seated position without help. Hmmmm. Have i made a huge mistake? I do like the lower profile and the fact that they are extra beds when needed. |

My boys, ages 4 1/2 and 8, have matching twin-size captain's style beds in a shared room that is about 10 x 9: I love the under-bed storage. In our small 3-bedroon home, it makes much more sense to have them share a bedroom and then have the other bedroom be available for play/homework/etc. With the two beds in that room, there is not really space for much else. It's easy for them to keep clean, and they settle right down for bedtime. I agree that making the beds is more challenging, but they'll learn to manage -- I did (my bed was always against the wall in my small bedroom). I think daybeds are great for kids! Edit -- > I forgot that many beds have top sheets and bedspreads, etc. Our beds have a fitted sheet and a duvet, which simplifies the bed-making process. |
This post was edited by melle_sacto on Thu, Jan 23, 14 at 12:44
Mele That is a good idea to just have the fitted sheet and then a duvet with over. Would be much easier to make bed. |
I think having drawers under the bed is a great idea for small rooms. You don't have to have a day bed to do that, though. There are plenty of "captain's" beds that have drawers underneath. I think a lot depends on who is going to be making the bed and what the bedding is like. It is much easier for an adult to make a day bed than a child. (Although I consider them harder to make than a regular bed.) If they want a day bed because they want a day bed, fine. If they just want underbed storage, I'd look at the other options available first. |
Both my son and daughter had similar beds growing up. My son's bed had large storage drawers underneath for much needed extra storage. My daughter's daybed had a trundle underneath and was used frequently for sleepovers and slumber parties. Both kids had hugger style comforters that had fitted ends at the bottom and extended just to the top of the mattress. They made their own beds, just had to pull the comforter to the top with pillow on top. My daughter's bed is now in our guestroom and gets used several times a year. The trundle pops up to the height of the bed, so we use a king sized memory foam topper, mattress pad and sheets on it. I have slept on it several times and it is quite comfortable. |

KSWL, Just get younger friends. BTW i love love those beds. I was looking at something similar but not as nice for the girls attic room. I am so sold on these. Did you buy their cushion, too? I would need a mattress. I wonder how thin I can get and have them comfy too... |
- Posted by schoolhouse (My Page) on Fri, Jan 24, 14 at 11:53
lyban, sorry to hijack your thread but does anyone have a daybed in another room of their house? like the kitchen for instance? I know it sounds strange but I remember the grandmother of my BF had one and she would use it to "take a break" from housework. I've forgotten how large the room was but it fit. If I had a large kitchen I might try to work one in altho I don't really lay down during the day much now but perhaps when I'm older and don't want to nap in the big bedroom. :) |
- Posted by mtnrdredux (My Page) on Fri, Jan 24, 14 at 12:44
No, but close. I had a sofa in the kitchen of my Montclair house. When it was delivered to the house, my DH said it was "the dumbest idea he ever heard of" and then promptly fell asleep on it. My kitchen had no island, it had a galley for most of the functions, and large eating area where I had a round table and the sofa. Guests loved sitting on it when people congregate in the kitchen as they always do. Many a nap was taken there, too. I would do it again except here we have a swedish bench. |

I have a pretty white/iron daybed in my living room...which is actually my office. (The sofas are in the family room, with the TV.) We needed something in front of the big bay window and if I have to watch the phones early in the morning, it's nice to lie down and read a book...also great for a place to sit back (feet up) have a cup of tea and watch the snow fall. My mom used twin beds with bolsters in our rec room (as kids) and they were great. The trick is to have enough bolster and back pillows, to make the seating depth the same as a sofa. Easy to remove, if you need guest room space :) |
- Posted by mtnrdredux (My Page) on Fri, Jan 24, 14 at 13:30
To be honest, though, to make the depth the same as a sofa requires a TON of pillows and bolsters, and they they don't look so hot, especially from the side. I reiterate that a daybed is suboptimal for adult seating (lovely for napping tho) |
My guest room is small, 10x10. It has a queen-size bed, nightstand, bookcase and small tv. That's about it. It's only good for sleeping, which gets it used maybe four times a year at most. I'd love to repurpose the room for sewing or craft projects, but also be able to put one or two people up for the night if needed. I have considered a daybed with trundle, but they really aren't comfortable as a sofa substitute. I don't want a bunch of pillows that need to be flung on the floor. I wonder if I could get away with 1) sofa/sleeper, or 2) air-bed. |
Camlan, They are looking at daybed because of both storage ,plus this ikea one also can be made into a double for sleepovers without losing the storage space and then if they add the king headboard as I posted in post yesterday they can sit in sofa position with a soft back. This would be the idea but without the side bookcases. |
Instead of a sofa, I had a bunk custom made many years ago, and it was and still is VERY comfortable to sit on as I had it made to a standard bunk measurement of 36" - has no back or sides, just the wedge-shaped bolsters across the back. Believe it or not has provided many a comfortable night's sleep. And Schoolhouse, yes, for years we enjoyed it in a kitchen-keeping room; our open concept room we designed in the early 70's. : ) |
I have a daybed in my home office. |
Oops, just measured my bunk; standard bunks were 30 and 36"; mine actually is the 30" size. Probably why with the wedge bolsters it makes for such comfortable seating...but the twin size of the daybed will provide more lounging/play space. I'd say go for it! |
- Posted by mtnrdredux (My Page) on Sun, Jan 26, 14 at 12:29
The king headboard thing is kind of clever. I can't decide, though, if it looks like a linen dept display, KWIM? |
Mtm, Yes that particular photo I showed does have a lot of linen on display. Here is another photo I like. Anyways, today my daughter was lucky to find a mint condition hennes daybed like shown above on CL. So she will be making the king headboard in a still not determined fabric. |

Symantec Finds Server Containing 44 Million Stolen Gaming Credentials
Soulskill posted more than 4 years ago | from the who-wants-to-buy-a-level-80-paladin dept.
146A Symantec blog post reports that the company recently stumbled upon a server hosting the stolen credentials for 44 million game accounts. It goes on to explain how the owners of the server made use of a botnet to process that mountain of data: "Now it's time to turn those gaming credentials into hard cash. But how do you find out which credentials are valid and thus worth some money? Three options come to mind: 1) Log on to gaming websites 44 million times! 2) Write a program to log in to the websites and check for you (this would take months). 3) Write a program that checks the login details and then distribute the program to multiple computers. Option one naturally seems next to impossible. Option two is also not very feasible, since websites typically block IP addresses after multiple failed login attempts. By taking advantage of the distributed processing that the third option offers, you can complete the task more quickly and help mitigate the multiple-login failure problems by spreading the task over more IP addresses. This is what Trojan.Loginck's creators have done."

Classes On The Food Revolution Truck Kick Into High Gear!
Thu 14 Jul 2011Story by Chris Styler
Our summer on board the Food Revolution mobile kitchen classroom is off to a fantastic start! The mobile kitchen�in all its fully expanded glory�is settled into new digs at Challengers Boys and Girls Club in South LA. The Food Revolution crew is looking forward to a very active summer of programming.
In early June, while schools in the LA area were still in session, we were fortunate to have nearly 100 eager students from the Lou Dantzler Middle School (located right on premises at Challengers) enroll in Jamie�s five-class course. Judging from the feedback from this first group of students, we have a hit on our hands!
Program Manager Lisa Fontanesi and her crew of chef-instructors led the kids through hands-on classes where they learned to make everything from blueberry pancakes and spaghetti & meatballs to barbecued chicken wraps and chopped salads with homemade dressing. All classes also feature a discussion of nutrition issues focused around that day�s recipes. For example, before the kids measured out the ingredients for their pancakes, they measured out a typical serving of their favorite breakfast cereal and did the simple math to figure out how much sugar went into their breakfast. Most agreed with Lisa that a dose of sugar that big isn�t the best way to get your day off to a healthy start.
The rest of the summer promises even more excitement, with twelve more five-week courses being offered to 8 to 17-year-olds attending camp at Challengers as well as other groups from the South L.A. area.
Other partner groups include Community Coalition, LA Urban League, Brotherhood Crusade, and West Angeles CDC.
The Food Revolution team will take full advantage of the kitchen classroom�s stay at Challengers, with programming running right up until the camp closes on August 19. Special programming during the last week of summer will include classes for students from LA�s Promise that will serve as a finale to other nutrition and wellness programming being offered by that organization over the break.
Emily Ventura, PhD, MPH, working with USC�s Childhood Obesity Research Center, will head up the evaluation of the 5-week course. It is our hope that students who take part in cooking classes and develop the basic skills needed for scratch cooking at home will begin to make healthier choices and eventually reduce their risk for chronic diseases.
From our first experiences, the team is confident that the truck, with its hands-on approach and impressive 4:1 student-teacher ratio, is living up to its promise as the launching pad for future Food Revolutionaries!

I'm Michele Foster a quilt designer, author and teacher from Ottawa, Canada. Many of you might know me as the founder of the Quilting Gallery. I started the Quilting Gallery site in December 2007 as a way to combine my passion for quilting and my work life as a freelance web developer.
I made my first quilt around 1994 at a class in Aurora, Ontario. It was a quillow, which I gave to my parents for Christmas, or to my mom for Mother's Day. I sure wish I knew about labelling quilts back then, as I've forgotten the exact details. I made a few other quilts on my own after that first class before taking a 10-year hiatus from quilting.
It wasn't until I started the Quilting Gallery site in 2007, that my own quilting journey really took off. Since then, I have been perfecting my quilting skills, trying new techniques, experimenting, learning and coming up with what works best for me.
Since 2012, I have been teaching quilt making online with detailed photo tutorials that are available as PDF files. With my Learn to Quilt Booklets, I have taught hundreds of quilters from around the world. I have also designed and published my own quilting patterns that are available in PDF format for instant download.

It looks like a pine seed bug. They seem to like to get between windows and screens this time of year. My sister asked me today what they were and I had remembered looking them up last year. |
It's a leaf footed bug of some kind. Can't say it's the pine seed leaf footed without a better picture. |

Thanks... I guess I'm lucky I had just one. [g] |
We have one in Idaho that looks like this, yours may be a different species. Leptoglossus occidentalis, the western conifer seed bug. I can produce quite an odor, especially when disturbed, and most folks around here call it a stink bug. It is in the leaf-footed bug family (Coriedae), not the stink bug family (Pentatomidae). They become a pest when they come indoors in the fall looking for shelter. They are otherwise harmless. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Leptoglossus occidentalis
botanybob your Leptoglossus occidentalis is the pine seed bug that was mentioned in the first reply FWI. |

About This Project
With a desire to decorate a mantel for the holidays, my husband and I decided to build a fireplace mantel and surround. This was our first building project.
Inspired by the faux mantel at Blue Roof Cabin blog and with the drawn up plans from Ana White, this mantel was fairly easy to build.
I (we) are very happy with the results. Since the plans were adapted to fit around our existing fireplace, the completed dimensions are 66 1/2 inches high x 74 3/4 wide. Total cost came to $130.81
For more details about the building process, please check out the tutorial.
Thank you.

I've been referred to as an unadventurous eater in the past. I am one to traditionally opt for familiar dishes when travelling both due to fear of the unknown and to avoid any issues that might arise from foreign dishes ravishing my stomach.
When I signed up on the Inca Discovery Plus, I was quite nervous of what they would be feeding me whilst I trekked through the mountains on my four-day, three-night hike toward Machu Picchu. To me, this "fear" was quite normal and I had dreams of being subjected to the same old porridge and stew dishes for each meal because that would be the easiest way to go.
The first indication of what my dining experiences were going to be came as we crossed the bridge at KM 82 to begin our journey in Ollantaytambo. Our team of 21 porters, who made our journey quite enjoyable and almost effortless (other than those giant Inca steps), came running by with backpacks filled with all sorts of goodies and I was reassured by our CEO that I was going to be eating like a King for the next few days.
Each day we awoke the smell of something fantastic cooking in the chefs tents and it was this smell (and maybe the warm coca tea) that had me springing out of my tent in the wee hours of the morning. Our breakfast selection included:
- Pancakes with caramel drizzle that represented a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) in southern Peru.
- Thick oatmeal with large fresh chunks of sweet apples.
- Andean Chuta Bread (traditional bread baked in colonial ovens)
- Omelets stuffed with peppers, celery, carrots, radishes and cheese
Following our daily breakfast, our chefs prepared little care packages for us to take along our journey to snack on. These little packages came in handy when you just need a little pick me up before continuing on your journey. These snack packs included:
- Bananas
- Chocolate Bars, Sublime (I highly recommend you stock up on these to take home with you)
- Cookies
- Candies – think Jolly Ranchers
- Mandarin Oranges
- Granola Bars
- Apples
- Juice
After hiking for sometimes 4 hours before a full meal, our lunches always had a great balance of just enough protein and the quantity control (never wanted to be so full you just felt like sleeping). Our chefs came up with some excellent dishes including:
- Asparagus Cream Soup
- Quinoa Soup
- Vegetable Soup
- Peruvian Chicken Salad
- Native Peruvian Potato Chili with Rice & Spinach Cake
- Chicken Rolls
- Vegetable Salads
- Russian Salads
After lunches, we continued our hike along the trail for sometimes 4 more hours before reaching camp. After settling into our tents (and cleaning ourselves up), we enjoyed traditional teatime that happened at 5pm and instantly put us in a relaxing mood. These teatime sessions included:
- An assortment of teas (Coca, Anis, Manzanilla, Te Puro)
- Hot Chocolate
- Coffee
- Freshly baked cookies
- Crackers with marmalade, honey and butter
- Popcorn
- Crispy Wontons
Our final culinary experience of the day would come at dinnertime with various wonderful three-course meals. Nestled in their tent, our talented team of chefs would compile the following dishes with only an aid of a flashlight and a minimalist propane torch.
- Potato Soup
- Rice and Vegetable Soup
- Andean Corn Soup – more like a chowder
- Steamed trout in a mushroom sauce served with garden vegetables
- Lightly fried chicken with fresh cut potato chips
- Stir-fried noodles with mushrooms and steamed kale
- Apple and Cinnamon Pudding
- Chocolate Cake and Pudding
- Gelatin (yes, Jello in the middle of the mountain range!)
It is also important to note that if you have any food allergies or happen to be a vegetarian or vegan, G Adventures will cater to you along the way.
Needless to say, my initial expectations of our culinary options were surpassed in every way – on the trail, I ate like a king and the food experience was only topped by the first sight of Machu Picchu from the Sungate.
I took two things away from this latest adventure – a deep appreciation for Inca innovations and to never doubt the creativity and ability of individuals even in remote and challenging areas like the mountains!

Hi, My tomato leaves have been curling for a few weeks, and I just noticed the first signs of blossom-end rot on my "Paul Robeson" tomatoes. I'm trying to figure out the cause, so I can stop doing whatever it is I'm doing wrong. The soil began as newly-dug sod, to which I added about 3 inches of compost. I fertilized with organic 5-5-5 in May after transplanting, then again last week, both times following bag instructions. I water every other day. I haven't been measuring the amount of water I give, I just get the soil "nice and wet". This amount of water seems to be working well with everything else in the garden (squash, beans, etc.). The bottom leaves of one of my other plants are starting to yellow. The plants otherwise seem healthy - growing tall, thick stem, lots of flowers and fruit setting. Am I over-watering? Under-watering? Are the plants over-fertilized? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here's a picture of a Brandywine next to the plant shown above. What do the yellowing, curling leaves tell me? These fruit show no signs of BER. |
Tomato leaf roll and BER are both tied to your watering regimen. The lack of consistent soil moisture levels triggers both. You indicate you water every other day. That is far more frequent than normal, especially if you are giving them a deep watering as it should be. Frequent shallow watering only results in shallow rooted plants, stunted root development, and stressed plants. Plus I note your plants are not mulched so the shallow water you give them quickly evaporates. Recommended watering regimens usually read something like deep watering until the soil deep below the root level is moist 1x per week. Of course if you get lots of rain then you'd water less frequently. Meanwhile remove all the BER fruit and pitch it, mulch your plants heavily - especially important in your zone - and water for a much longer period of time only once every 5-7 days. Then see how your plants are doing. Dave |
Thanks for the info Dave. I'll cut back on the water! Hopefully that'll fix things up. I'm curious - why is mulching especially important in my zone? And what would you recommend for mulch? I see many recommendations for straw or hay, but I'd worry that a light-colored mulch would result in cooler soil. |

"I'm curious - why is mulching especially important in my zone? And what would you recommend for mulch? I see many recommendations for straw or hay, but I'd worry that a light-colored mulch would result in cooler soil." Because you are in zone 8a. If you are located in the south the the soil will dry out too quickly due to the heat and mulch keeps the soil moisture more consistent helping with BER and leaf curl. If you're somewhere in the Pacific Northwest the lack of mulch is less of an issue. The mulch will keep the sun from baking your ground so it will result in cooler soil but that cooler soil is not a problem at this time of year. Any mulch will work. Rodney |

I'm in Seattle, where we think an 80-degree day is hot :) My assumption (while uninformed) has always been that I should do whatever I can to retain heat. The recommendations I read for tomatoes in my area don't seem to mention mulching, unless it's black plastic to heat the soil. So - cooler soil vs. better water retention - should I mulch? |
robhan , I am also in Seattle area, (in Sammamish). Up until now we have had very cool weather. I used to water my bed like once a week. But now getting into 90s, that is going to be differen. MULCHING: TRIMMING: BER: Now How do you like the current heat wave : |
seysonn - thanks for all the info! My tomatoes and I are very much looking forward to the coming heat wave. I'm hoping to finally start seeing some ripen with the higher temps. Have you harvested any yet? I have lots of fruit, but no signs yet of ripening. |
robhan, I have picked a single BB so far but a lot more any day now, with this warm weather. The nice thing about the heat is that it cools off at night down to 58 to 63F. So the plants get a good night of rest. |

The Dignity of Human Life & Abortion
Archbishop Martin asks all Priests over the coming weeks to draw attention, in an appropriate way, to some basic principles of Catholic teaching concerning the dignity of human life and regarding abortion.
Ample resources prepared by the Irish Episcopal Conference are available www.chooselife2013.ie Previous statements of Archbishop Martin are available on below.
The Christian message is a message of life. It is about how every human life is a reflection of the very life of God. Each of us is created in the image of God.
Catholic teaching clearly affirms that every human life has unique and irreplaceable dignity. Every human life has the right, from its very beginnings, to flourish and develop as God wants it to.
Any society which attempts to define certain lives as being of lesser worth and of lesser protection betrays the common good. All should be equal in the face of the law. That is a fundamental principle of our Constitution – and indeed of democracy – to be maintained and protected.
Compassion and support for women in difficult situations also belongs to the essence of Catholic teaching. The Catholic pregnancy counselling service CURA www.cura.ie provides advice to pregnant women as well as counselling services to women who have had abortions or who experience difficulties following childbirth.
In his Homily last Sunday,("The Baptism of Our Lord", January,13th), Archbishop Martin stated "in the current debates about abortion, the Church is called to preach the truth of its message, but always within its message of God's love and care for all. We have to ask how many women in the past, for example, may have been driven to despair through the judgementalism which they encountered in the Christian community. The community of believers must rather be the place where those who suffer and are troubled are never rejected but are encountered with love and mercy and support."
Reflections of Archbishop Diarmuid Martin
Advent is a season of hope as we reflect on the meaning of the coming of Jesus Christ into human history. The coming of Jesus takes place within the real and concrete events and lives of people who form part of human history. Jesus comes to us not by removing us out of earthly realities, but in the midst of a concrete and at times confused world. Jesus came not to an idealistic or idealised world; he came and comes with his saving message to our concrete and confused and compromised world. It is in such a world that we are called to witness to the salvation offered us by Jesus Christ.
In Advent we turn to Mary as we reflect on how she, despite her natural perplexity, awaited in hope the birth of her firstborn, who was to bring salvation and new life into the world. In the current debate in Ireland on the right to life, Christians should be inspired by the compassion of Jesus Christ in the face of anyone who finds themselves troubled by a pregnancy.
I particularly commend the quiet work of Cura which confidentially extends a hand of counselling, encouragement and practical support to women and to protect the life of the nascent child. The Church and Irish society owe Cura a great debt of gratitude for how it has witnessed in a powerful way to the care of Jesus Christ for all those who are anxious and troubled during a pregnancy. Those who are troubled and distressed need a caring and concerned Christian community to be there for them and to support them as they make the choice for life and as they regain hope.
The Christian message is a message of life. It is about how every human life is a reflection of the very life of God. Each of us is created in the image of God. Catholic teaching clearly affirms that every human life has unique and irreplaceable dignity. Every human life has the right, from its very beginnings, to flourish and develop as God wants it to.
The Catholic Church has never taught that the life of a child in the womb should be preferred to the life of a mother. By virtue of their common humanity a mother and her unborn baby are both sacred with an equal right to life. In facing situations of conflict, Catholic teaching stresses the equal rights of the mother and the unborn child and the desire to save both lives.
Stressing the equal dignity and right to life of the mother and of her unborn child is also a strong affirmation of the fact that there are no second class human lives, no human life whose right to life deserves lesser respect or lesser protection. Any society which attempts to define certain lives as being of lesser worth and of lesser protection betrays the common good. All should be equal before the law. That is a fundamental principle of our Constitution – and indeed of democracy – to be maintained and protected.
As is pointed out in Evangelium Vitae (n.72), "Laws which authorize and promote abortion and euthanasia are therefore radically opposed not only to the good of the individual but also to the common good; as such they are completely lacking in authentic juridical validity. Disregard for the right to life, precisely because it leads to the killing of the person whom society exists to serve, is what most directly conflicts with the possibility of achieving the common good"
Being Pro-Life is not just being anti-abortion. It can take many different forms from direct action in support of those who are poor or sick, to advocacy for those whose rights are threatened; from development work in poorer parts of our world, to highlighting the horrors of war, to the promotion of respect for the environment. The Church has long recognized, however, that there are times when the value and dignity of human life is especially likely to be obscured or neglected. In Ireland today that applies in a special way to the defence of the value and worth of human life in the womb. This must be a concern for every man and women in Ireland, every doctor or nurse, every parliamentarian. Our enviable record in protecting the lives of women and children shows the value of the strong pro-life ethic of our medical profession. This is something we cannot afford to loose.

My father owned an Estwing when I was a kid. I remember thinking how beautiful the handle was, how the embossed sheath seemed special — like Davy Crockett gave it to him personally. It is the essential tool, so satisfying when the hatchet drops and the blade sinks into a piece of wood and rests. It was one of the first tools I owned when I bought a home. It seemed like a rite of passage. And it's beautiful. / $45 —David Curcurito

John Hines
The John Hines show is heard weekdays on WCCO Radio, from 9 a.m.-Noon.
One of the best-known personalities in Twin Cities' broadcasting, John Hines has been a mainstay of Minnesota radio and television for almost 40 years.
The lifelong Twin Cities resident got started in radio in Illinois then moved home to WWTC in 1973, then spent six years with Hubbard Broadcasting on KSTP AM and hosting Twin Cities Today on KSTP TV. He returned to radio in 1981 when Hines and Berglund helped take WLOL FM to the top of the ratings. Then it was on to K102, where he helped earn Station of the Year honors from the Country Music Association. These days, John can be heard regularly on WCCO Radio. The thing he enjoys the most is the interaction with listeners who call in to contribute to the show.
Hines was the first non-journalist embedded with our soldiers in Iraq. He's been buried alive in a coffin for 48 hours to benefit food shelves and over the years has worked with the M.S. Society of Minnesota, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Tee It Up For the Troops, benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project and many more. John was proud to receive the Tom Rivers Humanitarian Award in recognition of his generous service and dedication to community events and charities.
John spends his spare time on his bicycle (weather permitting) and really values the time he can spend with his large family including his two sons and their families as well as his seven brothers and sisters.
