Good time of year for frost-seeding lawn, oats & barley
Feb. 4-10
Spring arrives when it arrives; when the snowdrops show buds; chickweed puts forth its tiny blooms; the pussy willows show brilliant white tips against the brown-black buds; the bluebird's haunting, illusive quavering call is borne on a February wind; skunk cabbage shows a deep blackish-purple tip through soggy ice …
-Charles Burchfield, Journal
Lunar phase and lore
The Spinning Cranefly Moon, entering its last quarter on Feb. 3, wanes throughout the week, becoming the new Lenten Rose Moon at 2:20 a.m. on Feb. 10.
One of the first flowers to bloom in late winter, the Lenten rose, or hellebore, opens as aconites and snowdrops blossom in protected areas.
Maple sap runs when hellebores bloom, and most of the nation's lambs and kids are born when those flowers appear.
Lunar position this week suggests the most fish will bite as the air and water warm up near midday. Dieters may have trouble refraining from pie at that time, as well.
As the cold fronts of Feb. 6 and 11 approach, fish should become even more active around noon, and children should eat more.
This is one of the finest lunar planting weeks of the year for flowers and vegetables that will produce their fruit above the ground. Put in your seeds in flats under lights and keep them warm, especially under Capricorn on Feb. 6-8, and then under Pisces on Feb. 10-12.
Take cuttings to propagate shrubs, trees and houseplants. Under this week's dark moon, complete winter pruning to retard growth.
By midnight during February's first week, giant Orion begins to move west from its dominating January position in the center of the southern sky. The star grouping of Canis Major takes its place along the horizon, with Sirius, the Dog Star, the brightest light in the whole night sky.
Weather trends
A typical February in the lower Midwest brings one day with highs in the 60s, two or three in the 50s, a week in the 40s, 8-10 days in the 30s, six in the 20s and one or two days only in the teens or single digits. There is a 50 percent chance for a morning or two below zero.
The coldest part of the month usually falls between Feb. 1-14. The days with at least a 40 percent chance for highs only in the 20s or below are Feb. 4-8 and 12. The warmest days, those with a 30 percent chance for highs above 50, are Feb. 2, 15, 18-19, 21-23 and 28.
Feb. 22 is typically the warmest day of all, having a 50 percent chance for highs above 50 degrees.
Feb. 4: Under the dark moon, treat ash, bittersweet, fir, elm, flowering fruit trees, hawthorn, juniper, lilac, linden, maple, oak, pine, poplar, spruce, sweet gum, tulip tree and willow for scales and mites.
Spray trees with dormant oil when temperatures rise into the upper 30s or 40s. The best chances of experiencing those temperatures in northern states will occur between Feb. 15-23.
Feb. 5: Flies and bees come looking for snowdrops when temperatures warm to 50 degrees. Deer gather together throughout the month to feed in herds. Turkeys continue flocking now, but they will disband and scatter into smaller family groups by April.
Groundhogs come out of hibernation. You may see them eating the new grass by the side of the road. Opossums, skunks, beavers and raccoons seek their mates.
Feb. 6: This is the week to get ready for maple sap time. New moon on Feb. 10 should begin the early spring "running of the sap," building up to its peak at full moon at the end of the month.
Feb. 10 is Chinese New Year. The Chinese market is often strong throughout the winter, favoring sheep in the 60- to 80-pound live weight range.
Feb. 7: In northern Mexico, monarch butterflies are moving toward the Texas border. They will reach the Gulf coast in small groups during mid- to late March, and their offspring will find the Midwest in middle summer.
Feb. 8: Doves begin to call after sunrise, not every morning, but once or twice a week until the first days of early spring, after which they sing through the end of late summer.
Feb. 9: Take advantage of the dark moon for cutting wood and for your winter building projects. Order or build cloches (small covers of transparent material for individual plants set outdoors). Clean and repair cold frames. Make hot frames (which traditionally use manure for heat).
This is also a good lunar time for frost seeding the lawn (as long as there is no snow cover), as well as for frost seeding oats and barley. Spread the seeds across the field and yard; the freezing and thawing of the ground as winter progresses will do the planting for you.
Feb. 10: The Lenten Rose Moon is new today, just three days before the beginning of Christian Lent. Work throughout the coming six weeks to sell your kids and lambs to the Easter Market that grows with the development of early spring throughout the nation.

What an excellently written article. As an Irish Jew I know a thing or two about prejudice. There is no room for it in society today. Even socially acceptable taunts as you mention - Scotts and English - have an edge to them. My children have never head them in my home.
Prejudice is the first step that at one time led to killing my brothers and sisters in the gas chambers. Mostly it's a rib that we deal with. At other times it manifests itself in a bloody heap left on the side of the street after closing time.
Don't be hard on the Jewish or Polish children - they are neither the perpetrators or the victims, they are children and young people and do what young people do.
Slainte - to life!
Despite this article's reference to British papers' use of the word 'Huns' I doubt that Coren or any other journalist would have the audacity use the phrase "ancestors of these Germans now going home used to amuse themselves at concentration camps by forcing Jews to exhaust up Chimneys".
To use an admittedly simplistic analogy, one reason many Jews seem to dislike Poles more than Germans can be put down to what psychologists regard as a common phenomena – "children who have been abused by their fathers often grow up hating their mothers"
Whilst all the comments here appear to be trading different versions of events that happened before I was born, I am more interested in what is happening in Poland today. The decision to allow the US to station missiles in that country is a black day for all us Europeans and Poland must be made aware of the strong feelings that this throwback to the Cold War arouses. Should Poland continue along this road, then at the very least it should be expelled from the European Union. The idea that Iran is going to launch a missile attack is a laughable pretext for this new sales and marketing drive by the US military industrial complex which can only raise tensions in an already tense world
Thank you Galicja for proving my point that Poles like yourself harbor anti-semitic prejudices today. It's a typical canard prevalent in Poland and other countries in Eastern Europe that equates Jews with communists and asks Jews to apologize for communist sins. You should be aware that the communists destroyed any vestige of Judaism in Russia during their regime. My wife's father was arrested by the communists for studying Judaism and sentenced to years of hard labor in Siberia. To learn about anti-semitism in prewar Poland you should read the paragraph "Growing anti-Semitism" in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Poland which supports what I say. Many Jews tried to leave Poland before the war but the door to all countries was closed to them. England, the home country of the Economist, to her everlasting shame, locked the doors of Palestine, the ancestral home of the Jews, preventing them from escaping their fate at the hands of the Germans.The behavior of Israeli tourists in Poland is a known disgrace and most Jews are ashamed of it. They definitely owe Poland an apology.
Wait... you mean there are assholes in every culture, regardless of who killed who's grandparents? I'm shocked...
To MartinNoth: Anyone with a simple knowledge of history knows that the Poles and Poland were more accommodating to Jews than anyone else ever known. How could a people [Poles] and country [Poland] be considered anti-Semitic when prior to WWII, over 3 million Jews lived there, representing over 10% of the population? Numbers speak for themselves and don't lie. You would think, rational humans would leave a place if it were so unaccommodating and discriminatory to them, right? This obviously did not happen in Poland, because for the most part, it was a good home to the Jews living there while it was an independent country for many centuries. The large population of Jews in pre-WWII Poland only proves how tolerant and neighborly Poles were. Anyone knows this. They [the Jews] practically had a state within a state when living in Poland with their own laws and lifestyle. Jews were not driven into poverty, but rather prospered in every aspect of life.This alleged fear on Easter that you claim your wife felt is nonsense, and wasn't a common occurrence in Poland, if isolated. This is nothing but false gossip you are spewing. You fail to mention any anti-Catholic feelings amongst Jews.Your 'economic boycott' argument is also invalid. When a Polish Catholic opens up a cooperative with another family member or friend, and competes with a Polish Jewish business owner, do you consider this an economic boycott? Please explain.Perhaps you should mention how many Jewish tourists, especially young ones, come to visit Poland today and are rude, loud, and disrespectful, even in places that are important and sacred sites. Please read a fairly recent article on "Israeli YnetNews" by columnist Attila Somfalvi, entitled "Bad manners at Warsaw Ghetto - Israeli youths in Poland ceremony score failing grade with disrespectful behavior". Here is a quote:** "It is difficult to describe the huge Polish investment in the event. It is also difficult to describe the reverence shown by the hundreds of non-Israeli invitees to the speeches delivered by the two presidents, the singing of the El Maleh Rachamim memorial prayer, the Israeli national anthem, the Hebrew prayers, and the entire ceremony. It appeared that everyone was doing above and beyond in order to honor the memory of the Warsaw Ghetto heroes. Yet at the same time, a few meters away, the jungle was going wild. On the Israeli side where the youth delegation members were concentrated, everyone behaved as though they were in the middle of some feast on a Tel Aviv traffic island. Only the barbeques were missing, but we had snacks, soft drinks, loud giggling, and screaming. Some students were lying on the grass while listening to their iPods. We also had group gatherings, a mini-festival of storytellers and jokers, short naps, smoking, whispers, the occasional game of "catch" accompanied by cheerful calls, nuts and seeds, and childish, embarrassing, and exaggerated panic upon hearing the gun salute. It was all there." **These types of incidents by Jewish tourists in Poland are quite common. You mention some isolated incidents of Poles making rude comments to Jews...How many times have Jews made rude anti-Catholic comments to Christian Poles? A friend of mine has experienced firsthand such comments from Jewish co-workers in New York City as well. My Polish christian friend had a boss in the banking sector in NYC who came to him several times and asked him if he were Jewish due to his surname (the manager was Jewish). When he told him "No, I'm a Catholic with Polish roots", he was never friendly to him again and was even passed up for a promotion. He had to leave his job eventually. Such discrimination takes place more often than you think.The alleged few pograms that you speak of can never compare, not even in numbers, to the Catholic Poles executed, exiled to Siberia, or tortured by many high ranking communists with Jewish roots, such as Hillary Minc and Jakub Berman to name a few. The number of Polish christian victims easily exceed several hundred thousand, as compared to pogram victims that numbered in the several thousands. If it's a numbers game you seek, then I'm providing the figures to you.Sadly, if Mr. Giles Corin was unaware that Poland did not even exist in the year 1903 (from 1795 to 1918, Poland did not exist on the map of Europe), how can he even be sure what people mistreated his great-grandfather and his family?Again, for any immoral behavior of Poles to their Jewish brothers that has occurred on Polish soil, as mentioned in my last post, numerous high ranking Poles throughout the recent years have made apologies more than once and have acknowledged any mistakes. What more is required? Poles have been waiting a long time for Jews to apologize to Poles for any of their misdeeds. Is such an apology forthcoming?
While Giles Corin may have expressed himself in a coarse manner, anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of the history of the Jews in Poland knows that the Poles were a very anti-semitic people. They instigated economic boycotts against the Jews in the inter-war period that drove many Jews into poverty. There were also multiple instances of progroms during that period. My wife's parents described the fear that the Jews in Polish towns felt around Easter when Jews would be attacked for killing Jesus. It is an insult to the Jewish victims to forget or to minimize their suffering.Even today, Jewish tourists visiting their ancestors' graves in Poland are subject to anti-semitic insults and occasionally to physical attacks. In New York religious Polish women who do house work for Orthodox Jews will still occasionally express anti-semitic comments about their Christ killer employers. Instead of complaining about Corin's insults, the Poles should work on removing their historical prejudices and taking responsibility for their crimes as the Germans have done.
History is written by the victors. The facts about what happens in wars even like Georgia/Russia today is complicated by both sides making wild exagerations. DD Guttenplan in his book on the Lipstadt/Penguin/Irving trial admitted that events at Auswitz were far from clear and could not be confirmed with absolute certainty. Irving lost his shirt by claiming the Holocaust has been systematically exagerated for political purposes. That was extremely offensive to the millions of Jewish and Slavic survivors of this European tragedy. Many American-Jewish people blame all Europeans. The Poles suffered the most suffering. Many German-Jewish people left Germany before 1939. Poland is the home of Auswitz so there may be some questions raised about their knowledge of this concentration camp that housed 50,000 workers making artificial rubber for the Third Reich. TODAY Poland has 50% unemployment in its rural areas...thats why over one million Poles moved en masse to Britain Germany and France......thats the root cause of much resentment today.
The anti-Polish prejudice is just an ethnicized version of anti-Catholicism, known as the ''last acceptable prejudice''.
Before anti-Polishness appeared, there was anti-Frenchness, anti-Italinanism, the dark legend of Hispanophobia, anti-Irishness, etc.
The British are at the modern source of many if not all of these prejudices, coming from the xenophobia of the post-Reformation Elizabethan Era.
After that, the Freemasonic Enlightenment added more prejudice by dividing Europe into two classes : the Enlightened and the Un-Enlightened. It was assumed that all Catholics were Un-Enlightened, and that the few Enlightened Christians were the ones who came out against their Church.
19th century sociology, socialism and communism divided between the Rich and the Poor, assuming that the Enlightened had to be Rich versus all the Others who were simply Ignorant Poor and Unenlightened. Post-modernism usually adds the accusations of sexism and homophobia.
Not all countries enjoy, say, the same level of wealth or hours of sunshine. Similarly, not all countries share the same level of racial tolerance. If you measure racial tolerance relative to economic development, my experience as a tourist to countries where there are no significant minorities belong to my racial type tells me that Italy and Poland would be right at the bottom of the scale.
As an ethnic Chinese from Singapore, my experience from travelling in 50 odd countries tells me that the world is by and large a friendly place.
A few, like Britain, Switzerland, Thailand, Portugal, are very civilised where I honestly did not feel race mattered much . The majority, like most of the Americas and Western Europe, were largely sensible where isolated pockets of ignorance were not significant enough to really be intolerable.
Then you have countries like Italy and Poland, which has disgustingly widespread ignorance and bigotry despite their relatively developed economies. These countries are more backward in this respect than, say Malawi or Venezuela. I experienced so much harassment, even as a mere tourist. Police stopped me on the streets and insisted I couldnt possibly be a tourist because no Asian can afford to travel in their country. I had spitballs and racial epithets from complete strangers in a one week stay in Poland, including being chased by gangs of angry young men not once, but twice.
Other east european states like Czech, Slovakia, Hungary and Estonia were perfectly fine.
Truly, Poland sucks.
Talk about a red herring. Pay no attention to the millions of muslims crowding into your cities, openly declaring their contempt for your culture.
Oh my, my beloved Economist has gone all PC. Let me say first, I like and admire the Poles from their fighters in WWII to their competent pleasant immigrants to the UK - especially the charming young ladies with their beautiful English and manners. If only I was 50 years younger!
Nevertheless, PC has gone too far and it is throttling freedom of speech - as a UN report on the UK's freedoms noted today. Coren may be a fool, may even be evil; The Times has become a neocon-loving rag under Murdoch - but they have right to make asses of themselves and we all have a right not to buy their trash. I merely read the Times online.
Giles Coren's deeply prejudiced and historically inaccurate article in the "Times", dated July 16, 2008, entitled "Two waves of immigration, Poles apart", reflects both his personal hatred of Poles and Poland and his lack of knowledge of basic European history and geography. Right from the beginning of his offensive ethnic diatribe he conducts his first error in 'History 101' when he makes a reference to his "great grandfather Harry, who came here (to the UK) from central Poland as a teenager in 1903". Did he say from "Poland'??? Poland did not even exist on the map of Europe in 1903, as that entire geographical area was carved up and partitioned, and then occupied and politically controlled by the Germans, Austrians, and Russians. During that time, the Polish identity, culture, Catholic religion, and independence was both regulated and suppressed as Poles did not have their own country. So, it makes me wonder, which of those three countries did Mr. Coren's great-grandfather really come from? Whatever country he did come from, he can be rest assured that the government policies, political structure, police, etc were not implemented or controlled by the Poles.He also accuses the ancestors of Poles by "amusing themselves at Easter by locking Jews in the synagogue and setting fire to it." and stating that Poland "had an impressive war record, wiping out 95 per cent of its Jewish population, 200,000 people, with very little help from the invaders". Where does this hateful individual get his false historical facts from? It seems that his prejudice and distorted view of history takes precendence over the truth. Every reasonable scholar knows that Poles were not responsble for the extermination of the Jews. Sure, there were isolated cases of Polish participation, and there were also cases of Jewish individuals turning in their own as well. One cannot place collective responsibility on an entire people or country. Moreover, the Polish government, countless Polish politicians, and scholars have apologized to Jews many times for any acts of aggression of their fellow countrymen during WWII. Have Jews apologized to Poles for the participation of communists with Jewish roots who murdered, deported, or punished thousands of Catholic Poles during the 50 years of Soviet occupation?There are two culprits for the publication of this unfortunate article: Mr. Giles Coren AND the "Times". He should be competent enough to write a column that is objective and not offensive to anyone, and the "Times" should know better not to print such trash. Where were the editors before this article went to the printing press...sleeping? Mr. Coren's punishment should consist of the following: (1) Immediate dismissal from his job, (2) monetary damages, (3) an apology to the Polish people and country, (4) and possible imprisonment. The "Times" should also be required to pay monetary damages to the Polsh community in the UK and print an apology as well. When will justice be served?
The next time a troll submits an article with racist terminology ("polacks") and grotesque generalisations ("the ancestors of these Poles now going home used to amuse themselves at Easter by locking Jews in the synagogue and setting fire to it") whilst at the same time pretending to be appalled about "Virulently racist populist politicians" then maybe the Times should consider not publishing it. Or if it does then it should drop all pretence to being a quality newspaper....
I was under the impression that it was the Turks who were pushed back in Vienna, not the Moors. Also, I beleive the entire statement is a bit far fetched but the Poles should definitely be given their due.
It is a shame that evidently British journalist are not required to read history. Without the Poles there would be no Christianity, no Renassaince, no Columbus, no Newton, just Islam and death. If you love your God and freedom, thank the Poles, especially King John III Sobieski who defeated the Moors at Viena in 1683
Tired of "thin skinned" minorities. More so since white men are always seem to be singled out for abuse with impunity in our Brave New PC World.
Dear Sir or Madame,
For me as a Pool it is really sad that a journalist from 'The Times' is completely not aware about the topic he is supposed to write about. Of course it worth to mention that many polish people (as well as Jews) suffered a lot during a second world war and that many civilans lost their lives when trying to rescue the Jews, but what hurts me mostly in Giles Corent article is his opinion that polish society is completely unaware of 'sad stories' in which also polish people took part. In any country in Europe in 40's (and Poland was not the exception) you may find examples of black sheeps who were trying to take advantage on the others. We know a lot about 'Jedwabne' and similar cases. Our authorities did a lot to apologise Jews for that. Polish and Iraeli presidents were praying together on the side of the 'Jedwabne' tragedy and in the schools we also learn about the issue. The question remains whether anyone can blame all the nation by single incidents? About 3 mln Pools, mostly civilians (not including Polish Jews) died because of the tragic circumstances of second world war and many of them in concetration camps. Does it mean for Mr Giles Colen to call 'the children of those who survived' in the most unpleasnt way? It is ashame for any journalist to write an article just to make another 'sensation' without sticking to the truth withouht mentioning about real victims feelings and tragedies. Maybe it is time for Mr Giles Coren to try his career in tabloid?
It sholud be stressed that the realities of the Nazi occupation in Poland seemed quite different than those in, let say, France or Danemark. Hiding Jews, helping them in any form meant, according to German "law", the execution of all the Polish family. As the Polish Ambassador wrote: "Any sort of assistance given to Jews was punished by death". The risk was much greater than in other countries...
But, as pointed out, there is no problem of Mr. Coren. There is the problem of The Times...

More endearingly known as the food baby, the post-holiday bulge is that extra few pounds in your tummy you managed to pack on in a matter of weeks. Sure, we all resolve to be a better, fitter version of ourselves for the New Year. But, in the spirit of procrastination, we've got three outfits perfect for the art of deception.
You may recall that after Regina George's Kalteen incident, sweatpants were all that fit her at the time. While you may not have binged on Swedish weight-gain bars, you definitely took in your fair share of holiday treats. And, as a result, you feel your most free in a pair of loose-fitting pants. Enter: the chic sweats upgrade. Opt for an all-black-everything for its slimming nature. Brighten with a colorful coat and a bit of frosting in the form of a statement necklace. And, a classic black heel never steered you wrong. We feel comfortable just talking about it.
Clockwise from left: HELMUT by Helmut Lang Slouchy Sweatpants, $195, available at La Garçonne; Tibi Splatter Print Biker Jacket, $398, available at Tibi; Sole Society Amaris Mini Tote, $39.95, available at Sole Society; Warehouse Strappy Cami, $37, available at Debenhams; Bauble Bar Madamoiselle Necklace, $42, available at Bauble Bar; Dorothy Perkins Black Court Shoe, $44, available at Dorothy Perkins.
Is it just us, or do boys clothes just seem more comfortable? If you've ever nabbed your boyfriend's hoodie or button-down, you know exactly what we're talking about. Opting for an oversized shirt will make that food baby disappear. And, a slight heel paired with a touch of almost-sheer lipstick will make this outfit feel feminine, despite its menswear roots. Did we mention it's kind of perfect for work? That's called a twofer, people.
Clockwise from left: Zara High Waist Trousers, $29.99, available at Zara; MiH Jeans The Oversize Shirt, $240, available at MiH; Laura Mercier Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Colour, $24, available at Saks Fifth Avenue; Nixon Metal Time Teller Watch, $95, available at Urban Outfitters; Aldo Bujumbura Heel, $90, available at Aldo.
Sweaters are at their best — and coziest — when they are big in all the right places. You're not exactly in the market for a bodycon dress after a solid two weeks of eating and drinking everything in sight (totally worth it). But, the leggings you tend to pair them with aren't gonna work either. To reap all the benefits of the bulge coverup, pair your favorite oversized sweater with a jewel-embellished skirt. Loafers are the perfect way to dress up the comfy top while dressing down your blinged-out bottoms. And, in case you're worried your outfit is too monotone, brighten with a neon crossbody bag and a delicate ring for flair. Boom.
Clockwise from left: Hope Grand Sweater, $375, La Garçonne; Marni Across body bag $550 Yoox; Anthropologie Lyrical Ring Set, $32, available at Anthropologie; Opening Ceremony Embellished Full Skirt, $234, available at Modewalk.com; Jeffery Campbell Lawford Loafer, $145, available at Nasty Gal.

Kate Middleton's Nose Sought After Amongst Those Undergoing Plastic Surgery!
In kind of unsurprising news, women's requests to plastic surgeons for a Kate Middleton-esque nose have tripled this year! TRIPLED!
I can't deny it, her nose is adorable, and kind of in an under-the-radar type of way. Naturally, I can see why women who aren't satisfied with their own schnozes would want one akin to the Duchess'.
The source for these numbers is Transform Medical Group, a UK-based plastic surgery group which paid close attention to cosmetic surgery trends in 2012. Kate has been so on the radar (of course, she's the future QUEEN!), but not just for fashion choices (though those have been another hot topic as of late). It's kind of funny that Middleton-envy has gone this far, but it makes sense, also.
All I want for Christmas is Gwen Stefani's Abs! Anyone? Anyone?

Decentralized Boundary Detection Without Location Information in Wireless Sensor Networks
Free registration required
Executive Summary
In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) deployed in an outdoor environment, obstacles may occur as a result of a non-uniform distribution of the sensor nodes or the presence of barriers. These obstacles result in a degradation of the network performance, so obstacle identification is a major concern in most WSN applications. This paper develops a Decentralized Boundary Detection (DBD) algorithm for identifying sensor nodes near a hole or obstacle in the WSN. The algorithm does not require any knowledge of the node locations or distances between two nodes. The detection capability is provided even in networks where the sensor nodes have a non-unit disk communication range.

This tomb is a good counterpoint to the terracotta museum as the figures (soldiers, horses, domestic animals) are not life size and you can get up close to them, behind a glass of course.

I love this dry shampoo! It's simply the best one out there. I've tried many others and always come back to this one. If I really want to I can go about 3 days without washing when using this. The only two cons I'd say are price it's a bit steep and the packaging can be a pain.

I've tried many dry shampoo sprays and got fed up with them running out so quickly, so I decided to try this so I can actually see how much I'm using. So far I love it! I think it'll last me way longer than the other dry shampoos I've tried. It is hard to control how much power comes out (the reason I rated it 4 stars overall and 3 stars for packaging), but its easier to get it where you want unlike a spray. I like the smell, although my sister said it reminded her of lemon-scented Lysol haha.
UPDATE: I'm changing my rating from 4 stars to 5 simply because, for me, this is the best dry shampoo I have found in 2 years of trying MANY dry shampoos. This is my HG and I'm now on my 5th bottle (a bottle will last me around 4-6 months)! The trick to controlling how much powder comes out is to shake the bottle rather than squeeze. Squeezing causes way too much powder to come out and will make your hair look ashy, which is really bad since I'm a brunette. I mostly use this at night, that way it has time to soak up the oil and not look white.

This product is alright. The smell does not bother me. It does make my hair look clean and remove oil. I really have to work it into my scalp though. I usually have to put hairspray over it to absorb some of the powder. I used to use plain old baby powder before I bought this and I feel it works just as good and is much cheaper!

It's a good product, but it gets sloppy. I find that the spray runs out fast which is why I purchased the loose powder. It does a great job, and I love the smell of lemons. The only cons I have to say is that it get's sloppy and it feels heavy on my scalp as the day goes by.

This did not work for me. I used the product correctly but was getting flakes coming from my scalp and it looked like dandruff! I brushed it out fine but if I scratched my head, I would get this nasty powder under my nails. Also the smell is too overpowering. The application was really hard to get a small enough amount spread evenly over the areas you need it to.
Batiste (pink bottle) works better, easier application for a lot less $$

Not a fan. After minutes and minutes of rubbing I could still see the powder on my roots. Whenever I've tried baby powder it's taken a minute to rub in at most. I don't know how this can be worse than using baby powder, but it is.

I love this!!! I have long, fine hair that gets a little oily on top the day after washing, but the ends stay dry. It's better for my hair not to wash it every day, but baby powder makes it look gray, and the sprays I've tried smell so bad that I can't stand using them, so I keep washing. Until now. This is a powder that has a nozzle-shaped applicator so you can apply it only to the oily roots -- genius!!! The smell is fresh and lemony, and since it just stays at the scalp you don't really smell it much. The best thing is that it blends right into my hair without any dull, powdery or gray look. I bought it at drugstore.com

I picked this up for $8 at Sephora. I have an extremely oily scalp and baby powder does nothing to help. Pronto is the first dry shampoo I have tried, and I really like it. The scent is lemony and nice, and I don't get white spots in my hair after working this in and styling. It definitely cuts down on the oil, and I can see myself rebuying.

This is a must for people w/ oily scalps and fine hair like me. I love having this stuff on hand when I need it. I very much prefer the powder to the spray. The spray only gave me a few uses, whereas the powder lasted quite a long time. This is nice since it's a little pricey. I had no trouble blending in the powder and a nice bonus is increased volume and texture.

This is a godsend. My hair cannot survive without this. I blow my hair out every 3-4 days. In between shampoos, this lemon-scented dry shampoo helps keep away the greasies. I found it easy to use... just apply to the roots and brush through. I have dark brown/black hair, and this did not make my hair dull or powdery looking. I think it might if I used too much, but that was never a problem.
I was such a skeptic regarding dry shampoos before trying this, and I'm soooooo glad I did. This stuff is great and the travel size bottle goes everywhere with me!

"Had me and my kids laughing so hard!"
LOVED this so much. A book I actually enjoyed and had my two kids (6 and 9) - and husband - laughing hysterically from beginning to end. Short and sweet, perfect for the drive home from school. Story was great and the narrator was excellent.

Garden City Beach Camp
Middle School: June 7– 12 High School: June 14 – 19 Cost: $205 Have you ever wanted to go Old School? You remember, back in the day when some of the biggest questions you had were: What should I play during recess — dodgeball or kickball? What should I drink with my brown-bag lunch — plain milk or chocolate? What dessert that will never go bad tastes best — a Twinkie or a Ding Dong? Regardless of what time period was Old School for us, we look back on those times and smile at how simple and silly it all seems. Sometimes we wish we could go back, at least for a little while....Read More

Tomatoes. Notes.
Summer conjures images of lazy days, hammocks, beaches, bare feet, lemonade…all that good stuff. Let's pretend for a moment that that's why I've been so absent here.
That was nice.
The real reason is that I'm in a season of lots of work, work travel, and more wedding weekends than a person should be able to attend and still come out sane on the other side (we've had to turn the experience into a Bingo-style game to survive). Combine this with the fact that I coordinate our summer farm market, a few black bear incidents, the death of one friend, the birth of another friend's baby…I'm a little spent.

you ought to prize this
I was the lucky recipient of an unexpected windfall last weekend. Ben's grandmother is in the process of moving out of her home of 50 years, and, in that sad-ish but grateful way, her son and daughters are kept busy divvying up the accumulated belongings that would otherwise become the casualties of downsizing.
My haul from this process was a yellowing envelope, cracked and brittle at the corners. Ben's mom placed it in my hands, telling me, "I knew this was for you."

Good food/bad food
It's no secret that I'm troubled by a lot of dictums that accompany food culture nowadays. I end up coming home from travel all keyed up about it, though. There's nothing like a little perspective to show you how inadequate a lot of "food rules" are.
The party line of virtues that popular food rhetoric deems "good" includes food that is, among other things, locally produced, organic/sustainably grown, processed as little as possible, and/or homemade. Applying these concepts as a meterstick in other settings can make your head spin a bit. In Tanzania, I have found eggs at the market from Dubai, even though you can't drive 50 feet without seeing someone's "urban chicken". In parts of Mozambique, refined white cane sugar is a local product. Some of the most famous coffee in the world is grown in Kenya or Indonesia, but you can't get your hands on it in-country (although I think this is changing!). Most ex-pats in sub-Saharan Africa have housekeepers who double as cooks: this is "home cooking", right? Does it still count, even though they aren't doing the cooking (nor do they even necessarily know how to do it)?

In like a lion
If the past three years (!) of March entries are any indication, right now I should be writing something about being ready for spring. The half a foot of new white stuff outside is telling me to hold my horses, though. I don't mind the winter weather and the snow as much as other people seem to, especially now that the days are getting longer. I like seasons. Besides, there are new baby goats down the road, which means that green sprouting things can't be too far away.

Field notes
Conakry, the capital of Guinea, in West Africa, is on a very narrow peninsula projecting out into the Atlantic. I was there all this week. You can't really drive from one part of the city to another without seeing a glimpse of water, and my commute from my hotel to the office was no exception. The driver weaved in and out of the hordes of uniformed kids walking to school, vendors selling soap, people burning trash, and then, boom, la mer. It nearly reaches the road in some protected areas when the tide is high.

It might be interesting to know that April 1 is the ancient French New Year's Day. When Christianity came to France, it brought January 1 as New Year's Day and considered anyone a fool that continue April 1 as New Year's Day.

Window Repair
I have MW wood dual pane windows manufactured in 1994. I have 4 windows that appear crooked at the top. In other words, the top of the sash is not flesh with top blind stop. The "crooked sash" baffles me and my DH. We don't know if the frame is out of square or if the window was installed incorrectly or if the sash is out of square. We have measured the windows left, middle, right side and the measurement is equal. We think the sash is square. If the window frame is out of square, would a replacement window even fix the problem? How can we tell if the frame is out of square or if the window was installed improperly? Do we need to hire someone to take the window out and reinstall it? Perhaps we need to buy a sash kit and it installed with the sashes and have the frame fixed? HELP!!!! Window companies in the DC area just want to install new VINYL windows.
MW windows are both not worth repairing and not real candidates for repair.
They were made very shoddily from the outset and repairing them would be cost prohibitive as it would require a complete removal and re-installation.
The frames are often misaligned and improperly made. Getting 17 years out of them is better than most people do and a sash kit is only as good as the frame it is installed in. Putting a sash kit in an MW frame would still leave you with a very leaky window at the end of the day.
If you don't like vinyl, get another window but repairing an MW window is money not well spent in my opinion.

The Space
Our rainbow of a home is painted brightly in eight colors, giving it the ultimate San Francisco feel. You will love coming home each day to our uniquely decorated home, and it is our goal to make sure you love it as much as we do.
Guest Access
As a guest, you will have access to our full kitchen which includes a dishwasher, microwave, oven, stove, blender, refrigerator/freezer, and panini maker. Our washer and dryer is inside the house, and is available for your use during your stay.
You will have two comfortable bedrooms: the red room and the green room. The red room has a comfortable queen-sized bed and LCD tv, and the green has a full sized bed and acrylic desk. The two rooms are connected by a classic San Francisco fire escape; it's fun to hang out and watch the city go by beneath your feet. Finally, enjoy your evenings on the spectacular rooftop terrace with sweeping views of the city. The rooftop has comfortable furniture for your enjoyment.
Interaction with Guests
The entire space will be yours to enjoy. We will be available to help you with anything you need via phone, email or text message. We want to give you your complete privacy, but we will be there for anything that might help enhance the quality of your stay.
The Neighborhood
Our hip Lower Nob Hill condo is centrally located in downtown San Francisco. From our home, you can walk to Union Square, Chinatown, the MOMA, the Asian Art Museum, Yerba Buena, Grace Cathedral and so much more! Bring your walking shoes because everything is nearby! Our neighborhood offers a vast selection of amazing restaurants, bars, and clubs, so nightlife will be great!
Getting around
You will not need to worry about renting a car here because of the central location. The space and location is an urbanite's dream.The condo is within walking distance to BART, Muni, multiple bus lines, taxis, and the world famous cable cars. My husband and I have never owned a car in San Francisco due to the easy access to public transportation from our house.
Other Things to Note
We promise we will give you the tools and local knowledge to have an unforgettable San Francisco experience. We want you to have a blast in our amazing city.
*Please take off your shoes at the door.
*When you shower, remember to turn the fan on so the place can properly ventilate.
*Please do your best to keep the place clean and treat it as you would your own.
*If you smoke, do so outside on the fire escape or upstairs on the roof.
The red room has a queen sized bed, an LCD tv, and access to a fire escape overlooking the hustle and bustle beneath.
Wow, what a place! From the first meeting with Manny until we left, it felt like the turn-key solution to a genuine San Francisco experience. Along with the awesome (decor, great nearby restaurants, Shake Down, proximity to grocery stores, Union Square) comes the reality (income inequality, drug and mental health issues, parking). The first night (a Tuesday) we all slept soundly save for a couple sirens early in the night. The second night, however, there were a few groups gathering on the corner which were very vocal and somewhat threatening (not to us specifically, just in general). The noise machines helped a ton though! Other than the one issue that night (which I imagine was fairly random), everything was fantastic. The decor and feel of the Urban Rainbow is outstanding. Comfortable beds, amazing towels, washer/dryer. Would definitely stay there again.
We had a great stay at the Urban Rainbow. Manny and Megan were very friendly and considerate hosts. The apartment was clean and well outfitted. There was even a San Francisco guide book on the book shelf, which came in handy since we left ours at home.
This was our 2nd time at the Urban Rainbow and it was just as wonderful as the first. Great place, central location, wonderful and welcoming hosts. Highly recommended and I'm sure we will be returning in the future!
What a wonderful experience! Megan and Manny were both so kind and attentive. They made instructions for checking in and out very clear, and made sure to check halfway through our trip that we were happy.
The apartment is beautiful, spotlessly clean, and fully stocked with just about everything you need, including their very own guide-to-the-city! The photos from their travels are fascinating and make for really fun decor. Having a washer/dryer in the apartment ended up being extremely helpful (especially after my husband spilled Ghirardelli hot chocolate all over his khakis-- it felt like a very SF thing to do). They even provided earplugs and white noise machines for travelers not used to city sounds at night.
The location made getting everywhere very easy, and culturally was an interesting spot (tucked between Nob Hill and the Tenderloin, close to Chinatown). While perfectly safe and comfy during the day, it did get a little uncomfortable after dark, so I'd recommend not going out alone if you can help it. There are lots of little cafes and restaurants nearby (we loved Mymy for breakfast), and a Trader Joe's around the corner if you want to stock up the kitchen and do some cooking.
We had a fantastic experience in the Urban Rainbow and we HIGHLY recommend checking it out for your next stay in San Francisco!
Megan and Manny are very friendly and welcoming. They replied to the messages quickly and were helpful.
The neighborhood is very lively and so pretty loud, but has the convenience of being close to restaurants and everything you need.
It is very central, close to Union Square and Market Street. Close to Tenderloin as well, but we did not feel unsafe. Post street is a safe street.
The living room could be a bit more convivial. There is no coffee table and no speakers. The TV is in one of the bedrooms.
There is a nice terrace on the rooftop though, with table and chairs.
The kitchen is well equipped.
The wifi is fast.
The bathroom seems to have some plumbing problems.
The bedrooms are comfortable.
Thank you for the nice stay!
Megan and Manny are very hospitable. The apartment is exactly as the photos. The rooms are full of exotic atmosphere,especially the masks and the photos hanging on the wall. The place is not far from the union square and Japan town.
We had a great 4 night stay at the
Urban Rainbow. The apartment was very clean and exactly as described. Megan was extremely helpful before and during our stay, always available to answer questions and provide guidance.

Manny and I are avid travelers, above all else. We have traveled all over the world as a couple and independently. When we are at our home base in San Francisco, Airbnb allows us to travel from our living room, bringing guests from far reaches of the world. Here in San Francisco, I (Megan) am a full-time English teacher in San Francisco's juvenile hall. I also volunteer as a meditation teacher in the SF County Jail on the weekends. Manny, originally from the Andes in Merida, Venezuela, works at the Imaginary Foundation, a company that creates a clothing line that emphasizes artistry, philosophy and science. We have been happily married for four years and love introducing people to our amazing neighborhood and city. We hope to meet you in our living room!
