TRAVEL:Hawaii, the Unique StateSugar cane has vanished as a Hawaiian crop; Dole owns the only remaining pineapple plantation. More profitable coffee is grown instead.
A thousand years before Christopher Columbus set sail from Spain the Polynesians were using the stars, winds and ocean currents to navigate the vast Pacific. Sturdy vessels carved from tree trunks and rigged for stability carried these courageous pioneers to new homes on distant tropical islands. What is it about Hawaii that captivates us? Its luxuriance of green? Its spiky mountain ridges that remind us of lizards' spines and the flanks of camels? Its blue-green seas? Its melange of nationalities? Its grinning surfers? Hawaii is a fascinating mix of all of these. And Hawaii is like no other American state. These are a happy people who smile at you on the street with the greeting "Aloha!" One woman clasped me to her bosom and announced that she was 86 years old and a real racial mix; her mother was Portuguese, her father was half-Hawaiian and half-Chinese. In Hawaii she is not at all unusual. After the arrival in 1819 of American missionaries (who soon became first-class businessmen), Chinese, Portuguese and Japanese laborers flooded the islands to work in fields of sugar cane and pineapple. Today sugar cane has vanished; Dole owns the only remaining pineapple plantation. More profitable coffee is grown instead. Tourism dwarfs all else, probably because Hawaii's temperature remains relatively constant, in the 70's, throughout the year. Over six million visitors arrived in Hawaii during 2011 despite the prevailing financial recession. In this balmy climate one doesn't mind the frequent light cloudbursts that keep the land wet, fruitful and blazingly green. photo by Louise Roberts Sheldon
Giant carved wooden figures representing the Kite-surfer flying high at Kailua Beach, Oahu.
We planned a week-long cruise stopping at four of the larger islands, followed by another ten days in and around Honolulu on the island of Oahu. But, first on our agenda was a visit to Pearl Harbor on December 7, the seventieth anniversary of the Japanese attack in 1941. A film of actual events proved deeply moving to the silent crowd made up of many Japanese and Chinese, as well as visitors from mainland U.S.A., like ourselves. On the cruise and throughout our visit to Hawaii we encountered the same unusual mix of people and marveled at the beauty of the young Asians. At Pearl Harbor we were saddened to learn that human remains are still being extracted from the wreckage of U.S. ships. We had never before taken a cruise for pleasure. Our ship, The Pride of America, all 81 tons—14 decks, 4 swimming pools, 14 restaurants, with 946 crew members serving 2,138 passengers—operates smoothly and efficiently under Norwegian hegemony. The ship itself reminded me of a skyscraper lying in the water on its side! But it was wonderfully comfortable. We approached our cabin (which was of the lowest category) with trepidation. Could we possibly squeeze two mammoth suitcases plus a double bed and ourselves into a 10 by 13-foot space? Amazingly, we did! Cupboards and closets crafted into corners were commodious, and provided more than sufficient space for our clothing. Our cubbyhole of a bathroom was ingeniously designed and gave us plenty of room to shower. We explored every niche of the huge vessel, getting valuable exercise as we trudged from our nest in the bow to restaurants near the stern. Meals were mostly tasty and well prepared. One evening in the ship's vast auditorium we enjoyed a musical show of dances from various South Pacific cultures, including Samoa, Tahiti and New Zealand. The show seemed superior to any Hawaiian luau we had witnessed. Among the passengers relishing these delights were many Americans ranging from retired folk like us to ecstatic honeymooners. The week-long cruise among the islands leaves Honolulu every Saturday afternoon, traveling at night, so that during the day we could visit the islands. photo by Louise Roberts Sheldon
Tropical fish and coral are in a tank at the Maui Ocean Center.
The Pride first docked at Kahului on the island of Maui, a favorite haunt of mainland Americans. Here we had arranged for a rented car as at other dockings. Despite the only violent rainstorm of our visit, we easily found the Maui Ocean Center on the island's windward, or western, coast. Fortunately for us that raging day, the center is constructed completely underground. Its many showcase tanks contain a wide variety of tropical fish that swim in Hawaiian waters. Our favorites, "the Raccoon Butterflyfish" and "the Moorish Idol," dazzled in bright yellow and black. Hammerhead sharks and undulating rays cavorted in a large tank. This marine center is well worth the visit. On daily boat trips visitors can listen to whale songs from below while witnessing their activity on the surface. Later the rain ceased and we drove on to the quaint town of Lahaina, once a whaling port, but now an internationally known art center. Under a stout banyan tree, whose 20 trunks stretch to the ground, painters and woodcarvers hawked their art. Lahaina sparkles with fun and games, like the Goofy Foot Surf School. Today the town is also famous for whale watching. On daily boat trips visitors can listen to whale songs from below while witnessing their activity on the surface. Wild dolphin-watching, snorkeling and stargazing on ocean waters are diverting alternatives. On Haleakala, we were introduced to the Nene, Hawaii's state bird, which apparently evolved from off-course Canada Geese. Maui is as famous for its flowers as it is for its pristine beaches. Descending through the clouds from Maui's mighty dormant volcano Haleakala, we stopped for lunch at the Kula Lodge. Here we found not only an excellent meal but gardens of blazingly colorful flowers. A bouquet of stunning "Royal Family of Proteus" blossoms resembles nothing you've seen elsewhere, and will last in your home for weeks. On Haleakala, we were introduced to the Nene, Hawaii's state bird, which apparently evolved from off-course Canada Geese. This valiant, if somewhat smaller, creature strutted about ignoring us. photo by Louise Roberts Sheldon
A portion of the great Akaka Falls grace the rain forest on Hawaii, "The Big Island."
On Hawaii, the archipelago's largest island, we set out from the city of Hilo to view the Akaka Falls, an awesome sight, cascading in torrents into the dense vegetation of the rain forest. The U.S. National Tropical Botanical Garden, created in 1964, offers a paradise of unusual blossoms from Brazil to Malaysia alongside endemic Hawaiian plants. On the shore we found surf crashing around two great rocks that in Hawaiian lore stand for two lovers who sacrificed themselves for their people. Frequently we ran into similar reminders of Hawaii's interesting pre-U.S. history. From Hilo we drove up to the world's largest, active volcano, Mauna Loa. Its summit at 13,677 ft. over the ocean floor is inaccessible, as it blows its top every three or four years. On nearby slopes, Kilauea Caldera proved to be a vast crater under which magma (molten rock) rises to a deadly reservoir ranging from one half to three miles beneath the summit. Around us columns of steam and poisonous fumes belched from vents in the scorched landscape. Today occasional earthquakes and what vulcanologists call "inflation" of the volcano herald possible eruptions on the summit. What a contrast this deathly, bleak scene is to the rampant greenery we'd seen on this and other Hawaiian islands! That evening, as The Pride of America slipped away, we passed a vast cascade of glowing, molten lava, hissing its way into the sea. Don't think this is the last volcano in the Hawaiian chain! Loihi, to the southeast, is an active submarine volcano, slowly rising from the ocean floor to create eventually another island. In future eons, vulcanologists assure us, more will surely follow. photo by Louise Roberts Sheldon
Giant carved wooden figures representing the Hawaiian god Ki'I face the sea.
Off the town of Kailua-Kona we were brought to shore by tenders, as this small harbor cannot accommodate the behemoth Pride of America. Here the Hulehea Palace of the Hawaiian royal family resembles a quaint Victorian residence constructed of lava, coral and native hard woods. The first church on the Hawaiian Islands is the Mokuaikaua built for Reverend Asa Thurston in 1820. It incorporates large chunks of lava into the design of a clapboard New England-style building. In our rented jeep we set out for Puuhonua o Honaunau, a national historic park restored to the scene prior to 1700. This sanctuary, surrounded by a huge wall of lava rock dating from 1550, was a place of refuge for defeated warriors who were otherwise put to death. Two ferocious carved wooden guardians, the giant god Ki'i, glare out over the area. If local law was broken, the penalty was severe, for in return, the god might cause volcanic eruptions, tidal waves or earthquakes. Also on "The Big Island" Captain Cook, who is credited with the discovery of the islands, met an untimely death at the hands of local natives when he tried to retrieve a stolen boat. On Thursday we arrived at Kauai, the northernmost island in the chain and the oldest. Kauai has had the most geological time to create perfect white sand beaches. We scanned the sea from every possible height in a vain effort to catch sight of the roughly 1,200 humpback whales that come to mate and give birth to calves conceived the year before in these waters. Through 3,100 acres of former sugar plantations, now devoted to coffee growing, we headed for Waimea Canyon, which turned out to be well worth the drive, a stunning sight of reddish rock cliffs, striated by time and green growth. The rock cleavage can be viewed from many miles of hiking trails. Eventually, as water carves its way through rock, the island of Kauai will be split in two halves. Today Mount Waialeale, to the east, is considered the wettest place on earth with an average rainfall of 460 inches a year. That there was much international interest in Kauai in the 19th century is indicated by the remains of a Russian fort that dates from 1817, when Hawaii was known as the "Sandwich Islands," named for the British Earl of Sandwich. During the U.S. Civil War a Union vessel hid nearby in the Wailua River to escape from the Confederate ship Shenandoah. A pleasant stopover is Kilohana Plantation, relic of Kauai's historic sugar plantation on 26,000 acres, established in 1888. The plantation railway still chugs around the exotic farm which has become a rum distillery. Back in Honolulu after our cruise we decided to visit the North Shore where a major surf competition had just been held. At Haleiwa we gazed in wonder at waves well over ten feet, where experienced surfers handle the big rollers with the practiced skill of professionals who earn up to half a million dollars in competitions. Ekuhai Beach is famous for "the deadliest wave in the world," and is known for its "perfect, heaving top-to-bottom barrels." We struggled to comprehend the surfers' lingo: "pipeline" is the breadth of the wave; "perfect, heaving top-to-bottom barrels" refers to the wave itself. Surfing in Hawaii has many forms today, including body surfing, boogie-boarding, windsurfing and stand-up paddle board. I think we saw most of those. But our most exciting day occurred when we visited old friends from Maryland whom we ran into accidentally at the Honolulu Academy of the Arts. Near their rented home we watched from the beach at Kailua where a wild wind had churned the bay water to a light green color almost whitened by the gale. Yes, this is the windward side of Oahu beyond the Pali mountains. Here windsurfers were out-raced by "kitesurfers" using rectangular sails that rise high in the air, driving them at fantastic speeds and occasionally lifting the surfer high in the air as well. There were about 30 of them whirring by us. We wondered how they failed to crash into each other! Down at the end of the bay on that particular day, President Obama was taking his vacation on one of Hawaii's most beautiful beaches. For ancient Hawaiians surfing was a religion that formed a large part of the social culture. Creating surfboards of special woods was a serious ceremony, with the largest boards reserved for Hawaiian royalty. During those last days we wandered the crowded streets of Waikiki, admiring its elegant shops. We dined extravagantly at some of Honolulu's excellent hotel restaurants by the sea, such as the Outrigger's Shore Bird, the elegant Halekulani's Orchid and the new Otani's Hau Tree Lanai. We lunched at the long-famous, well-situated Turtle Bay Resort. We found Iolani Palace, home to Hawaii's last monarch, Queen Lili'uokalani. We visited the Bishop Museum, which sheds much light on the Hawaii of pre-U.S. days. Here native Hawaiians in ancient garb explain their customs and history in fascinating monologues and chants. We devoted another two days to the Honolulu Academy of Arts, which has not only a fine collection of Western art, but very interesting rooms devoted to Polynesia and special exhibits of Asian arts. As yet, the current recession affecting mainland U.S.A. has not seriously impacted the Hawaiian economy, where the cost of living remains high. There is still every reason to visit our country's most unique and, arguably, most beautiful state.

I would love to wake up one day and have conquered treble and enjoy all the detail in the upper end. It's a combination of being sensitive to bright treble, and having all my music in 320kbps, which does not help.
Slowly making a FLAC collection. Is there any way to just buy every song you like in FLAC? I don't like to buy albums because I usually only like 2-3 songs per artist. Also, TIDAL doesn't have a lot of the music I like, so it's not ideal. I assume eventually their collection will expand and I'll end up using that.

Message of friendship
Primary school students celebrate multicultural diversity with balloons, armbands.
TONI BRIENT April 1, 2014 4:53am"We belong": St Joseph's Primary School students release balloons with Harmony Day messages of cultural acceptance.
Orange was the only colour on St Joseph's Primary School students' minds during a celebration of cultural diversity on Friday.
Harmony Day is a national day to promote racial equality and 'cultural respect for anyone who calls Australia home'.
Teacher Jo Bennett said this year was the first time St Joseph's had participated in the occasion.
Prep to Year 6 students gathered in the schoolyard to sing a song before releasing balloons, which carried messages of social justice.
''Every class wrote a prayer and attached it to their balloon,'' Mrs Bennett said.
''(They prayed for) things like kindness, acceptance, world peace and no fighting.
''Some put the school address on it and we're hoping wherever they land, people will contact us.''
Mrs Bennett said they also made and wore orange bracelets to symbolise social inclusion.
She said the school's students came from diverse backgrounds and identified strongly with the Harmony Day themes.
''If we look at Australia as a whole, everyone does belong,'' she said.
Mrs Bennett, who leads the school's Catholic identity team, said the message fitted with what students were already being taught about social inclusion.
''We teach a lot about acceptance,'' Mrs Bennett said.
''The kids are taught to treat all God's children equally.
''Race isn't even part of it.''

Charlotte, NC, 28208
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
This event is 18 and over
Dollar Signs
Too fast for folk shows! Too quiet for punk shows! Too serious for comedy gigs! Too funny for art gallery openings!
Started in 2009 Dollar Signs uses music as a vessel to poke fun at the music scene, the audience, and most of all, themselves. Incorporating bitter honesty with a tongue-in-cheek sarcasm Dollar Signs shouts their way through exploring topics of loneliness, alcoholism, dilapidated apartments, and of course, fast food. Really though, Dollar Signs just does this to sell t-shirts and pick up girls.
i played in a lot of bands and toured the entire country a bunch of times. then some things happened and i decided to tour some more. this time it will be in my car.
We try not to concern ourselves with this shit. We all write, we all pour our hearts into what we do. It is, and has always been, about the music and the people who came to dance...but for those who DO care...here are a few things people are saying... "...an album brimming with some of the best country-tinged, fire-breathing blue-collar rock to come out of Colorado in recent memory." The Westword "...This was supposed to be Lucero's year, but Arliss Nancy completely stole their thunder. Rock and country have never had a more natural union. Each lyric just oozes passion and sincerity, and I don't know of another band that can maintain such a hard-hitting and sincere delivery..." The Punk Site.com "...Arliss Nancy's Dance to Forget is the best barroom record of 2009...an eleven track, booze-fueled romp through heartache & lust, desperation & salvation. This is country-infused old-school rock music at it's independently produced best." The Mikey Vegas "...hardscrabble, whiskey-soaked, fire-breathing, southern rock template, the outfit operates with such conviction that you have no trouble believing every word and hanging on to every note. If you're looking for meat and potatoes rock with a twinge of twang that will leave you balling your eyes out, clutching your heart and feeling more alive than ever, meet Arliss Nancy." The Westword
Family Friend

Latin American Catholic Church group says 'sorry' for Pope Francis's 'gay lobby' remarks
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Anyone who hasn't already seen it, should make sure they see Monday night's EXTRAORDINARY exposé of the Catholic Church's cover up of centuries of sexual abuse. We've got FOUR WEEKS in which to watch the programme by way of "WatchAgain"!
And please spread the link to this programme. It's important as many people see it as possible at the same time as Catholic authorities in the UK renew their attempts to sabotage the granting of marriage to homosexual people.
Spread the link via Twitter, Facebook, and email.
I've read some of the back postings of the Rorate Caeli blog which carried this story and I'm frankly unimpressed. The group seems to be composed of the usual out of touch clergy who want the Latin Mass and associated malcontents who flutter around the outer orbit of the Vatican adorned in their finery . "Traditionalist Latin Mass" types seem to be contributors to the Rorate Caeli blog and they probably dislike each and every Pope for being 'Liberal'. I suspect that the Pope has as much to fear from Rorate Caeli readers as LGBT people. Having said that it's just as well to remember that such blogs are influential in that they are able to sway the closet cases in the UK, The Ordinariate and the High Church Anglican hangers on.
These comments are un-moderated and do not necessarily represent the views of PinkNews. If you believe that a comment is inappropriate or libellous, please contact us.

Big league dreams: Baseball's biggest booster is back
- Andy Giegerich
- Digital Managing Editor- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Lashbrook: That's not in writing. Portland isn't a suburb of Seattle. People also say the city wouldn't support it. They argued with me that soccer would mean nothing to the city. You go into Jake's on a Sunday after a game and you'll still see people all in green [the Timbers colors].
Baseball has a problem. Even if Oakland built a stadium and Tampa Bay moved to New Jersey, I say, bring it on. It's like my company: People doubted me, but I'm still in business after 10 years.
PBJ: Assuming baseball comes here, why would it work?
Lashbrook: There are 81 games, that's like 81 conventions. People saying it wouldn't work haven't been anywhere else and they don't know what baseball is.
PBJ: The name Dennis Gilbert, who has tried to buy MLB teams, is out there as a potential owner. Is that legitimate?
Lashbrook: (Portlander and baseball scout Larry D'Amato) put us in touch with Dennis. Bud Selig announced his resignation, so nothing is happening right now.
PBJ: Why Memorial Coliseum?
Lashbrook: But Barry Smith has identified something unique. The Veterans Memorial Coliseum is a urinal. I'm embarrassed that people think it needs to be preserved. We need to honor vets another way, the right way.
Don't get me going here. We're going to win. Right now, Oakland doesn't have a place to go.
PBJ: You're an optimist until the end.
Lashbrook: Everywhere I go, I make it better. I've paid my dues, I'm not trying to make any money. I love this idea. I'm glad the other two times didn't work. It helps us out now.
PBJ: What lessons can you draw from the Timbers?
Lashbrook: We're an underserved pro sports community with fabulous fans. We sell out the Blazers and Timbers and we'll do very well with arena football [just announced as a Moda Center tenant]. Paul Allen will bring in hockey in two years. We're going to transform the city. We'll get MLB here before we get fluoride (in the city's water).

Nice, easy recipe. I used 2 cans diced tomatoes instead of the tomato sauce, dried porcini mushrooms, and added shallot and a bird's eye pepper. This a versatile recipe and good for using up what you have in the fridge.
Great recipe! I made a few changes which I think made it an even better meal. We used jalapeno diced tomatoes and instead of mushrooms we used corn! Nice recipe to play around with and use your own variations. Thank you for posting.

Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial Walking Tour
- Soak up the atmosphere on a walking tour
- Led by a local guide
- Small group ensures personal service
While the Nazis were hosting the 1936 Olympic games, slave laborers were being forced to build a huge new concentration camp just north of Berlin, intended to hold political 'enemies' of the Nazi regime political, racial and 'asocial'. Of the 200,000 people interned, over 50,000 lost their lives before the camp was liberated by the Soviets in 1945.
The camp was then used by the Soviets until 1950 to detain former Nazis, German soldiers and political opponents of the communists. Many thousands more died from malnutrition and disease.
The key to this walking tour is the informative and illuminating narrative provided by your expert tour guide. During your 3-hour visit to the camp you'll learn important background history of the site as you walk through the Appellplatz parade ground, the Jewish Barrack, punishment cells, execution grounds and crematorium, Station Z, the Pathology Laboratory and camp hospital.
This tour was researched by historian Gabriel Fawcett, who is publishing an important witness account of the camp. All tour guides have their own special insights into the history of Sachsenhausen, and are experienced in unraveling the complex history of the Third Reich and the Holocaust.

Rick, our guide was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable and he knows his 'stuff'. A very good and informative experience. Thank you very much for making the tour so interesting.

An amazing experience which I would recommend to all. Absolute eye opener and worth the time and money. Our tour leader, Finn, was absolutely brilliant and he had so much knowledge about the camp.

Hotel Tonight
1,000,000 - 5,000,000 downloads
- Great design and interface
- 3 taps to book
- Useful info
- Specially designed for immediate travel
- Some crucial info missing
- No specific room photos
- Currency
The app that takes last-minute booking to the next level
This super, San Francisco-based app boasts taking last-minute booking to the next level: book with a maximum of 7 days notice and the best price. Oh, and quick: you can book a room in just 10 seconds – 3 taps and a swipe!
Hotel Tonight is easy to use, with a really well designed interface. Plus it gives you minute details other hotel websites can't usually muster up: like the price of the contents of the minibar (essential info).
The app is simple and sleek to use. You can search based on your current location, keyword search your destination or check the map view. And because you aren't search through a database of possible future dates, just immediate travel, it's so quick.
All the info you're likely to want to know is right there on the same page - no tabbing backwards or forwards.
What the app provides in additional info that other apps don't provide (like that crucial minibar info, e.g.), it lacks in others. You often can't tell what room type you are booking ('Selected by hotel') and all rooms are based on accommodating 2 guests only.
Though you can check photos of the hotel in general, it would be nice to be able to view photos of your specific room type too.
Prices are displayed in USD only, so have a currency converter to hand if that's not your coin.
Hand-selected hotels at great prices. Book your Tonight, now up to 7 days in advance.
Special Promo:
Book now & pay with your MasterCard® and any eligible booking of $75 or more will earn $25 in HT credits toward your next HotelTonight booking.
Terms and Conditions:
Eligible bookings must have a nightly room rate of $75 or more and be made on the HotelTonight app by resident of the United States or Puerto Rico using a valid MasterCard in order to earn the $25 credit. The $25 credit may be used only on a future booking on the HotelTonight app. Offer period begins for bookings made on or after 12/1/14 and is good while supplies last. Credits expire one year from the date they are granted. To see when your credits expire, just tap 'Credits' on the app. Credits will be applied to hotel bookings in the corresponding currency. Example: HotelTonight credits stated in USD will only be applied to hotel bookings billed in USD.

*Categories (like Basic, Hip and Luxe) to make it easy to find the right hotel
*Hotel descriptions that boil down the top 3 reasons why we like the hotels we work with – and why you will, too
*Upcoming weather forecasts to help you decide where to stay and what to pack (besides your rubber ducky)
*24/7 customer support (with real, live, nice people)
*Say the magic word ("BEYONCE") at the front desk and the concierge will break out into some killer Bob Fosse-style "Single Ladies" moves (we wish)

Consisting of 15 islands spread over 2.2 million sq kms, the Cook Islands suffers from the same enormous problems of distance and small population as do many other Pacific countries. All telecommunications services are provided by the monopoly operator, Telecom Cook Islands Ltd, which is majority-owned by Telecom New Zealand. Around 85% of households have fixed-line connections. A new GSM/GPRS digital mobile service was launched in Rarotonga, the main island, at the end of 2003. TCI launched a prepaid WiFi Internet service in September 2005 and a residential ADSL service on Rarotonga in April 2006. By 2008 TCI upgraded its core mobile network to allow the launch of new services such as integrated SMS, voice mail, GPRS and prepaid mobile. Please also note that this report is updated very infrequently due to limited availability of information on the local telecoms market.

Modern Maiden
Modern Maiden
When I was about seven years old I swear I actually saw Rudolph flying through the sky on Christmas Eve.
As an excited child who had left a can of beer and a carrot on the mantelpiece, catching some z's on Christmas Eve was harder than sharing your toys with your little sisters.
It came as no surprise that I woke up sometime in the middle of the night and peered out of the window. What was a surprise however was the tiny red dot I saw moving slowly across the night sky.
I was convinced the red glow was Rudolph's nose lighting the way for Santa to deliver me a giant soft toy of Smurfette.
The next morning when I opened my Santa sack and lo and behold there was no Smurfette, I was inconsolably upset.
My mother quite rightly pointed out I had not actually asked Santa for a Smurfette toy, but as a seven-year-old who changed her mind daily, that did not make me feel better.
"But Santa is a magic man! He should have known I wanted her more than I even wanted a pony," I wailed as I sat under the Christmas tree, crying for at least half an hour.
Yes, in retrospect I was an ungrateful child. It wasn't until years later when I found a receipt in my Mothers bag for the Spice Girls tape Santa had given me that I began to feel bad about my Smurfette episode.
For someone who loves shopping I am almost petrified of gift giving. Every time I see someone unwrap a gift I have given them, I'm secretly cringing. All I can imagine is their post present meltdown. A meltdown of Smurfette proportions.
That's why when it comes to giving presents to people I really care about there is no way I am wrapping up socks or giving out gift cards. Special people get homemade gifts from me.
I'm talking about something that often costs me no more than my time and probably, if history is anything to go by, resulted in me super gluing the tip of my tongue to my teeth.
Homemade gifts come from the heart and are sprinkled in thoughtfulness and creativity. Not only are they special but they are likely to last a lot longer than that $80 Buzz Lightyear from the Warehouse.
The best gifts I have ever received have been made with love and not by child labourers in China. These gifts, all of which I still have, really touched me.
There is a giant book filled with every possible Shakespeare thing you could imagine, a handmade quilt my nanna made me for my bed, a photo album documenting the wordly travels of my 'Baby Eifel' key ring, a picture painted by my four-year-old nephew, and a Survival Tin with a message written on a scroll.
Some of the things this Survival Tin included were:
* A 10c coin, so I can never say I'm broke
* Glitter, so there is always a little sparkle in my life
* A paper clip, to keep everything together
* A match, to light my fire when I feel burnt out
* A pin, to remind me to stay sharp
That gift was given to me 12 years ago, and I still have it. I'll keep it forever.
I've sent friends on a treasure hunt across Wellington, complete with pirate rhymes and a treasure chest. I've filled jars with cookie ingredients and tied a recipe to them, I've even turned gangster and recorded a rap for someone.
My favourite to date was for a 21st. My friend is a musician and I spent weeks finding the sheet music for his favourite songs. After collecting everything ranging from Chopin to Pink Floyd, not to mention one Britney Spears number, I got them all bound in a book called 'Twenty One Songs for Twenty One Years." A musicians dream.
If you are anything like me and you are yet to start your Christmas shopping, don't get pulled into thinking you will be living on noodles for the next few weeks.
The best gifts don't cost the earth, the best gifts are often homemade and from the heart. And hey, if they are not impressed with your ice block stick sculpture, at least they will appreciate the story about how you super glued your tongue to your teeth while trying to make it.
The silly season is upon us, but my dears there is no need to go silly with your credit card. Well, unless of course you are thinking of buying me a giant Smurfette toy.

Pat Hickey from the Montreal Gazette goes over his Hall of Fame ballot. He notes that voting is a difficult and involved undertaking, and says "If you're doing it right, it should take three to four hours to fill out a ballot for the Baseball Hall of Fame."
Then, after noting that he's not voting for the PED guys on character grounds, he says this:
Pete Rose was ignored by a majority of voters for the 15 years he was on the ballot …
Pete Rose has never appeared on a Hall of Fame ballot as he is banned from baseball and is thus ineligible pursuant to the Hall of Fame's rules. Which inspires one to ask what the hell Hickey is doing in those 3-4 hours he studies his ballot.
Hickey goes on to say that "The black mark against [Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens] is their arrogance in denying any wrongdoing." This comes a couple sentences after he notes that Mark McGwire garnered only 19.5% of the vote in his sixth year of eligibility. Given McGwire's lack of denials — indeed, the complete opposite of denials — something tells me that the black mark changes depending on the candidate.
This is not unique. Expect to see a plethora of incoherent things like this from Hall of Fame voters in the coming weeks.
