Napoleon Grills and charcoal tray
Can anyone please tell me how they like their stainless steel Napoleon grills and what pros or cons you find with it. We're looking to purchase a barbecue from the Continental series which has two drawers in the centre of the unit. I also don't know which is better (or if it's a matter of preference) whether to go for a barbecue that's deeper from front to back or to go for one that's shallower but longer in length. Any pros and cons from your own experience with the size and depth would be very helpful. We're tired of replacing barbecues so any information would be very helpful.
Also, I found an accessory that's a charcoal tray to use with the gas barbecue (I'm guessing to be able to use it as a charcoal grill) and I'm wondering if anyone's got it and how they like it.
Thanks for all your help.
Would love to help, but we haven't gotten ours installed yet. Have you checked prices at zoobler.com? We got a good deal there. I bought the charcoal tray. They say that it works well, and it doesn't cause any problems(which was my big concern). It is so that you can use the grill as a charcoal grill. As far as the depth and length of the grill, I would think that it depends somewhat on which way the burners run(thinking about direct and indirect heat). I would also think that the depth might determine to some extent what size meat you could do on the rotisserie. I could see that having a deeper grill would make you have to reach over hot grates more, and if it goes much deeper than 20 inches or so, it might seem a little odd reaching back to the very back of the grill especially with a warming rack.
The charcoal tray works great .. you kinda need two of them though if you want to do more than a couple of steaks. The one drawback to the charcoal tray is the cleaning. making shure the ashes don't get into the gas holes in the burner. Other than the they work great especialy lighting .. u use the gas to get it lit . no fluid needed... as far as depth to length .. it's really preference (whitchever you prefer) .. Napoleon is a great grill and I don't think you can beat it for the price . best prices on the net for Napoleon is azgrills.

Metal, Glass, Ceramic, or Silicone Pans: When To Use Each
What Tools and Appliances Do I Need for a New Kitchen?
Product & Shopping Questions
Tip: Store Cookie Cutters Stacked on a Paper Towel Holder
We've looked at various ways to store and display cookie cutters, from stacking them in boxes to stringing them on garlands. Here's another interesting storage solution: Stacking them on a paper towel holder!
Baker's Tip: Choosing the Right Pie Dish
When you think of the perfect pie, chances are you don't think about a soggy crust. And I'm willing to bet you don't dream about burnt edges either. The dish you bake your pie in is a very real factor in the outcome of the perfect pie. Let's talk about which one you should reach for next time you're rolling out a batch of dough.
My Essential Baking Tool: Half Sheet Pans
Essential Kitchen Tools
When I bake, I may or may not pull out my spatula, my small whisk or my stand mixer. But the one tool I know I'll always need is a half sheet pan. Yes, they may look like simple cookie sheets, but these pans are all-purpose multi-taskers, worth much more than their $10 price tag.
My Favorite Baking Tool: The French Rolling Pin
Choosing my favorite baking tool was a difficult challenge. I thought first about the things that I use often like my favorite zester or my Silpat. Then I thought about things with emotional significance like my grandmother's cookie cutters or my mom's old sheet trays. But when it comes right down to it, there's only one favorite.

Can You Help Me Find the Very Best Flour Sifter?
Good Questions
Q: I am on the hunt for the perfect flour sifter. There has been something wrong with every sifter I've owned. The traditional rotary/crank ones leave me with clouds of flour everywhere. Trigger style sifters eliminate that problem, but they can be tiring to use and I find that flour gets stuck in the mechanisms. Trying to clean them usually results with that stuck flour combining with water to form an even more frustrating blob of paste. Most recently, I tried a Cuisipro trigger style that eliminates the clean up challenge but still leaves me with a tired arm and this one also creates flour clouds and mess.
I recently saw a photo of a sifter on a baking blog that looked like the perfect sifter. Of course, now I can't remember where I saw it. I found a similar one online, but every site that sells it also offers mixed reviews. Does anyone have a flour sifter they love that also works?

And it turned out to be a wonderful opportunity for all of us, we were extremely impressed with Annika and her bravery at coming and living here for 5 months speaking constantly in a foreign language for her.
Annika worked across the property in all departments and in particular really supported the Ranger team with our Education work.
In fact follow this years success we are hoping to offer another Intern position at Arlington.
Here is Annika's account of her experience here at Arlington;
Hi, my name is Annika, I'm 25 and I was a volunteer at Arlington Court for five months (from May to September). I'm writing this piece in retrospect as I'm back in Germany now but enjoyed my time at Arlington immensely! As it had been part of my studies to spend some time abroad in an English-speaking country, I had chosen to apply for a job as a volunteer at Arlington. What can I say? I got extremely lucky and was given the opportunity to work with and learn from all of you which was an amazing experience!
What did I actually do at Arlington? Apart from working with the Rangers, I had the chance to spend time in the House and in the Carriage Museum, thereby gaining an insight into several of the estate's different working environments.
Among other things, volunteering with the Rangers involved assisting during school group sessions, helping with the sheep and cattle as well as supporting the new Equine Ranger's work with the ponies.
In the House and Carriage Museum I undertook the task of translating both English interpretations into German to contribute to the German visitors' experience. Furthermore, I learned about conservation in many different areas while packing and re-packing lovely gowns and dresses in the textile store (after removing mould if necessary), doing light readings and cleaning ships and carriages. In addition to that, I tried my luck at room guiding in both the House and Carriage Museum. Hopefully, the visitors had as much fun as I had! ;-)
Nevertheless, the work was always varied and interesting. I liked all aspects equally well, be it in the outdoors or inside. If you asked me about any kind of preference, I really couldn't name one!
During my stay I was also able to visit a few beautiful National Trust properties (Finch Foundry, Dunster Castle, Cotehele, Coleton Fishacre) and travel to other exciting places like Plymouth, Southampton, Exeter and Looe.I had such a good time thanks to all the people who took me around with them. Thank you very much for that!
What am I planning to do now? Well, university has started again and I'm back to continue my studies of History and English. By the looks of it, the lecturers are definitely not going to go easy on us this year! However, I'd like to be a secondary school teacher (eventually) and encourage students' interest in History and English – definitely something to look forward to!
I'd like to thank everybody who contributed to make my stay an unforgettable experience. Thank you very much and hopefully see you soon!
Annika and Kitty

Granite and sink rods
I need some help on sink rodding info. Okay l thought the purpose of sink rodding was to give support to sink for the long haul. We are looking at two installets. One does granite by machine to cut then the rest is done by hand. He rods with stainless steel rods. The other guy which btw has the stone we like as he is a fabricator and does a lot of his own stone importing. So in talking to this guy he said only purpose of rodding is too protect for transport and if the granite ends up.with seam in middle then no rod is used. He also does not use stainless steel rods just steel as he says they can not rust as they are in epoxy.They polish by machine too except on radius is what I understood him to say. The other fabricator is saying polish by hand is best as machine polish is not as good? Help :)
I am a fabricator.
Rodding is for transport. Properly installed there is no stress on the countertop and no need for rods.
steel buried in epoxy is acceptable. If moisture is allowed to get to the steel it can rust and crack the countertop by "rust jacking", the same effect that breaks up roadways when water gets to the rebar in the concrete. some fabricators go with stainless because it eliminates this possibility but steel rods properly done are ok. (thats the way we do it.)
edges cut and shaped by machine and then finish polished by hand is definitely superior to a machine only polish.
Rodding is old school and obsolete. Fabricators have access to modern equipment which prevents breakage in transport and installation.
The Marble Institute of America recommends the use of stainless or mild steel or fiberglas bedded in epoxy but many fabricators use mild steel and polyester which is equivalent to placing a time bomb in your top. It costs about a thousand dollars to fix after it explodes.

"Rodding is old school and obsolete. "
Ah, no. That turns out not to be the case.
When I started my shop 13 years ago I faced all the conflicting opinions about rodding. Since I am an engineer I decided to get actual DATA regarding rodding.
I made arrangements with the dean of material sciences at a local college to conduct a formal material strength test of rodded and unrodded sink rails. A large number of rodded and unrodded rails were tested on a hydraulic test fixture with computerized data collection. The design and conduct of the test was the senior year engineering project for 3 students so the testing and analysis was extensive.
The results were unambigious. Rodding made weak stones significantly more resistant to cracking. Surprisingly, rodding also allowed a sink rail to bend almost twice as much before cracking. I can't explain how rodding lets the stone bend more but I believe the results which were consistent across a variety of materials.
so rodded parts are measurably stronger and measurably more resistant to cracking. There are tools available to fabricators to help handle parts but they do not replace rodding.
regarding the "time bomb", polyester rods cannot create rust jacking so there is no risk with that type of rod and steel rods only represent a risk if they are improperly done. Moisture getting to rods is possible but easily avoided in a competently managed shop. we have had ZERO incidents of rust jacking in several thousand jobs.
There are recommended standards for stone installation which are published. Lots of information including topics such as rodding, acceptable seams, etc.
Published by The Marble Institute.
Here is a link that might be useful: Residential Stone Countertop Installation
You don't say if you tested the rodded and unrodded sink rails when installed on cabinets.
Granite successfully installed on flat and level cabinets now has all the support in tension provided by the cabinets, making the support in tension supplied by the rodding moot.
That rodding adds substantial support in tension is indisputable. Whether or not gaining that support is necessary, due to the strength in tension provided by the cabinets, or whether or not that strength is cost-effective in light of modern transportation developments is the real question.
A fabricator having to charge to install strength a customer doesn't need is at a substantial competitive disadvantage and does his customers no favors.

is it safe to drive with bad front struts can it create more problems for the car
2004 Chevrolet Cavalier
Chevrolet Q&AAsk Your Question
2004 Chevrolet Cavalier Question: bad struts
Answer #1matte February 27, 2010, 14:40Master
It all depends on how bad they are. The struts are an essential part of the suspension and steering system on the, so they will affect how your car handles, so there could be a safety implication.
A physical inspection of the car by a professional is the only way to get a definitive opinion.
Answer #2Bret Bodas February 27, 2010, 14:44Master
If the struts are really bad, you will have less control over your vehicle, does your vehicle bounce around or feel unstable? Why do you think they are bad?
Replyhoosiers, February 28, 2010, 11:27Rookie
the front end makes a noise especially on bumps like a cranking noise i also get the same sound when i press down on the hood to bounce the car its only one side though the front passenger
ReplyBret Bodas, February 28, 2010, 11:44Master
This may be the upper strut mounting, but you may also have an issue with a suspension part. When your pushing on the front end and re-creating the noise, try to locate the source of the noise.
If you cannot locate the noise, then you will want to have a shop look at this to make sure it's not a safety concern.

By Clay Bennett —
Now that Leonard Nimoy is most unfortunately no longer with us, Barack Obama is the primary exemplar in American popular culture of the maddeningly calm, excruciatingly logical way of speaking that will forever be associated with the Vulcans and Mr. Spock.
Paresh Nath, Khaleej Times, UAE, Cagle Cartoons —
The most devastating criticism that historians are likely to have of Barack Obama's record in the White House is his devastating failure in foreign policy—a failure that stems from his willingness to leave the warrior ideologues of the State and Defense departments in place after becoming president.
On Monday, 47 Republican senators sent a letter to Iran warning that country that any agreement only approved by President Obama—and not by Congress—might not last longer than his last day in office.
President Obama's impossibly complicated plan for dealing with the Islamic State group involves a de facto alliance with Iran in Iraq and training up a "third force," essentially creating a new, "moderate" Free Syrian Army to attack al-Qaida and ISIL.
Being singled out as "the smart brother" in an American political and financial dynasty like the Bush family must be a heavy load.
Jeb Bush gave a maiden foreign policy speech in Chicago on Wednesday in which he confused Iran with Iraq and alleged with science fictional inaccuracy that Daesh (Islamic State) has 200,000 men under arms.
President Barack Obama's State of the Union address slighted foreign policy in favor of touting domestic progress and proposing new domestic initiatives. But there were some foreign policy highlights worth underlining.
The new Yiwu-Madrid railway across Eurasia is the first building block on China's "New Silk Road," conceivably the project of the new century and undoubtedly the greatest trade story in the world for the next decade.
The Republican Party is already conniving at ways to derail the U.S.-Iran negotiations over Tehran's civilian nuclear enrichment program.
We all knew Republicans would take control of the Senate, but American voters had a few surprises up their sleeves.
It is not surprising that the GOP gained control of the Senate, but how will the change affect foreign policy?

After 13 years in Afghanistan, a belligerent period considered to be "America's longest war," combat troops are coming home. But they're not the only ones packing up in the country.
The heinous sexual violence Islamic State is inflicting on entire families is a form of warfare with long-lasting effects and a "crime against humanity," former CIA analysts Aki Peritz and Tara Maller argue in Foreign Policy magazine, but for some reason the subject's barely been broached by the West.
White House/Pete Souza
In contemplating President Obama's foreign policy, Mark Twain's reference to Richard Wagner's music—it's "better than it sounds"—comes to mind.
By Mark Fiore —
David Rothkopf at Foreign Policy magazine points to the civilian deaths on a beach in Gaza and airspace over Ukraine to argue that using "the chaos of combat" to achieve complex political ends is futile.
The question of how foreign policy is determined is a crucial one in world affairs. I can only provide a few hints as to how I think the subject can be productively explored.
Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and the other "Left, Right & Center" panelists discuss what led to Elliot Rodger's deadly attacks in Santa Barbara, President Obama's announcement that he will reduce the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan from 30,000 troops to 10,000, and NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden's big interview.
By laying out a long-term foreign policy vision in a speech at West Point on Wednesday, President Obama challenged his critics, at home and abroad, not to speak in vague terms about American "decline" or "weakness" but to answer the question: Exactly what would you do differently?

Barack Obama, brought up in Hawaii and having lived as a child in Indonesia, is the first Pacific president, and his current trip to Asia, beginning in Japan, is meant to underline his policy of "rebalancing" toward Asia.

Four decades after his Vietnam experience, John Kerry has achieved what will undoubtedly be the highest post of his lifetime: secretary of state. And he's looked like a bumbler first class. Has he also once again been a true man of his time, of a moment in which American foreign policy, as well as its claim to global moral and diplomatic leadership, is in remarkable disarray?
President Obama's foreign policy now seems to be defined by a series of ironies.

To broker a great peace in the Middle East, the president will have to mollify both the center-left and the right in Israel, balance Israeli and Palestinian demands, march with Netanyahu up to the edge of war with Iran, calibrate the ratcheting up of sanctions on Iran, and prevent the Syrian civil war from spilling into Israel, all while maintaining order between the left and right at home.

Paul's strand of libertarianism, insofar as it deeply distrusts big government, typically opposes policies that increase the size and power of government, chief among them ones pertaining to war.

The overall failure of American foreign policy during the first Obama presidency was foreseeable.

If the neocons in the GOP who brought us the Iraq War and conjured up "weapons of mass destruction" to justify it are against Chuck Hagel for defense secretary, the former Republican senator gets bonus points in my book.
White House / Pete Souza
We are about to have a major foreign policy debate in the guise of a confirmation battle over Chuck Hagel's nomination as secretary of defense and the related argument over how long U.S. troops should stay in Afghanistan. President Obama should use this opportunity to stand up for his broader vision of how American power can be sustained and used.

The period of free agency continues to shape the fantasy basketball-scape with fresh meat on terrible teams and players signing with contenders to be relegated to bench duty. With baseball in fun swing and the NFL getting half of the ESPN air time no matter what time of year it is, a lot of NBA moves have been made under the radar. Look for every division to get a team-by-team breakdown and some early fantasy thoughts on the new faces in new places:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Paul Pierce
As we continue to navigate through the NBA Playoffs, it's been a fun challenge to rank for the 2013-2014 season. There's still free agency. There's still a draft. Hey, at least we know there will be a season unlike 2011!
If you missed it, my top 10 then top 20 came out last week. Hey, it's early, you might say "way too early" (see what I did there, it's in the title!) so these rankings are subject to change. And I want no accusations of flip-flopping! It's not my fault if all the sudden Dwight Howard goes to the Bobcats and becomes a first-rounder! OK, so that is as likely as Rony Seikaly… returning. You gotta stop on the word that rhymes Jean-Ralphio! Man I'm liking that show. Also, random side note, Googling Rony Seikaly to spell his name correctly broke Google. I searched it and it would freeze, despite everything else working. Weird.
As I battle my ADHD to get into the rankings, let's just dive into it:Please, blog, may I have some more?
As I mentioned earlier this week, there is still a ton of things to cover, let's just dive right in:
It's obviously a good ways down the road, but a lot of people are optimistic for a return for the opener next year for Rajon Rondo. As we saw from Derrick Rose this past year, that has me horrified. Rondo tore his ACL on January 25th and Rose on April 28th and we didn't see the latter now for a full year. Even if Rondo can beat the timetable Rose has had by a two months (returning in only 10 months), that will still have him returning in late November, missing a month of the season. Rose and Rondo both rely on slashing and agility for their games, and while the clear caveat that their injuries and bodies are different, I'm probably avoiding a 3rd or 4th round pick on Rondo.
Sticking with the Celtics, Jeff Green had some mammoth games while Kevin Garnett missed some time with injuries. While he won himself a starting gig, we saw some inconsistency when Green was in there with both Paul Pierce and Garnett. If Garnett returns, I won't buy into Green's price tag (even though there will be a built in amount of time with no Garnett with definite injuries), but if Garnett retires or for some reason isn't in Boston green, I'll probably be a big Jeff Green buyer.Please, blog, may I have some more?
The playoffs are coming, do you have a point guard emergency? Mo Williams consistency driving you insane? Kyrie Irving just not cutting it since his return? Steve Nash can't stay on the floor? Tony Parker goes down! Well according to Lt. Dangle there might be a new sheriff in Orlando, all he needs is a killer 'stache. Beno Udrih was Udraining shots from all over the floor Friday night and scored 27 points (10-17 FG) with 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and hit 3 shots from beyond the arc. Beno may have that mustache in him after all. Jameer Nelson missed his fourth straight game and Beno got the nod again. In four games starting with Nelson out, Udrih is averaging 19.5 points, 7.3 assists, 4 rebounds, 1.75 steals and 2.5 threes a game. BENOthatswhatImtalkingabout Udrih! He played 36 minutes Friday night and should continue to find plenty of time on the floor even when (if) Jameer Nelson (ever) returns. If I have a playoff point guard emergency I'm picking up Udrih, Beno-911 should provide enough points and assists to make him an asset in your fantasy playoffs.
Here's what else happened in basketball Friday night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
If you're looking for fantasy basketball salvation this Easter weekend, Andre Drummond may be the closest your team gets playoff savior. He's the missing link, drop everything and go pick him up! After missing two months with a back injury, rookie Andre Drummond returned to the court last night to start at center and scored 17 points (80 FG%) with 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals. Drums has massive rebounding upside that we didn't even see last night. In 13 January games before the injury, Dre averaged 8.8 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.1 blocks. Translation: dude is an absolute beast on the boards. You can ask Greg Monroe (11 pts, 13 reb), Andre's words-with-friend and personal mentor. With Drums figuring to be a huge part of the future of the Pistons, it's hard to imagine they won't give him every opportunity to play in the few games there is left. Drummond's free throw percentage is rough, but the defensive stats are there and his upside alone makes him a great add in all leagues, especially for those in need of rebounds and blocks. With the waiver wire scraps getting thinner by the day, Andre Drummond could definitely warrant a spot on your fantasy playoff roster.
Here's what else happened in fantasy basketball Friday night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
I wonder what the public opinion really is on Anonymous, the computer hacking collective… I like them, they expose top-level greed – a mix between Russell Crowe in Robin Hood and in The Insider. OK so he wasn't a hacker in The Insider, but did the same type thing Anonymous does. Anonymous hacked Bank of America last month and found they were using worthless Social Media searches to profile activists and their salary information was on a server in Tel Aviv. Say what? I thought it was Bank of 'Murica not Bank of Israel! Well the Orlando Magic knew they needed some hacking to try and beat the Lakers with Dwight Howard returning to Orlando last night. With the crowd booing Howard from the moment he stepped on the floor, the Magic tried some psychological warfare, fouling Dwight every opportunity and giving him 39 free throw attempts. Thirty-nine! I don't think I've taken that many free throws ever. Now imagine 15,000 fans yelling at you every time. Dwight made 25 of em, capping a 39-16 and 3 block night in his return to O-Town. One of the best returns to a former team in NBA history, but the Magic just plain handed him 25 of those points. The Magic are terrible (minus Tobias Harris – read below) and the Lakers, while a soap opera, I think make the playoffs. A good career move for Dwight. Just hope he doesn't store his salary on a server in Tel Aviv.
Here's what else went down last night across the NBA:Please, blog, may I have some more?
After recording three wins in a row the Suns have now suffered back-to-back losses. It appears the Suns are setting again, but the most recent shakeup to the starting line up may prove there's still fantasy value to be had in Phoenix. Yes, Suns FA pick ups just in time for Daylight Savings–first, the Morris Twins–Markieff Morris had 9 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and Marcus Morris had 12 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists. You know I'm a sucker for the twinsies starting together–pulls at all the right heartstrings. This is real basketball people. But I must say fantasy-wise it's hard to tell them apart–they're both pretty mediocre. They're worth watching for now, but if you're have to own one, Marcus is the brother to own, but they don't recommend separating the two.
Wesley Johnson could be an even better pick up, and Friday he scored 19 points, with 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in the start. Wes has developed a sixth man-type role over the past few games but he got the start last night over Jared Dudley and made coach proud. Johnson, a former top 10 pick, always had the pedigree to do this, maybe its about time he got it done. Wesley was the only one who could save Princess Buttercup and if he can continue to play well in this role, maybe he could save your fantasy team come playoff time.
Here's what else happened in fantasy basketball Friday night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
The man with a name that would drive King George VI off his throne in fits of anger, Thabo Sefolosha shot 7 of 11 from the field, including 5 of 7 from the perimeter, to accumulate 20 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Although he has revved up as an assists machine again, Ricky Rubio has been absolutely brutal with the FG%, and not in the good way. Last night, he shot for 9 points on 3 of 13 and added 4 rebounds, 11 assists, and 3 steals.Please, blog, may I have some more?
This was a good game following a good game for Jeff Teague, which is the first time he's done that since December. On Wednesday, he went for 28 points (3-5 from deep, 12-18 from the line) with 4 rebounds and 11 assists.Please, blog, may I have some more?

Writing in Arab news, Hassan Yassin says we're leaving a depleted and damaged planet to future generations, and that our greed may undo more than a century of progress.
October 12, 2010 1:28 by shafeer
The past 100 years have seen by far the greatest human achievements and advances in our history, but they have also seen the most catastrophic damage done to our planet, its resources and its ability to provide for future generations.
The inheritance we are leaving our children and grandchildren is sadly one of a depleted planet and environment, with population and economic growth rates that could wipe out all the gains made in the quality of life over the last 100 years.
The hydrocarbon age made possible new levels of comfort, communication and quality of life, but it also set us on a path of blind irresponsibility and potentially irreversible destruction. In his book "The Long Emergency," which looks at how our 20th and 21st century lives were based on the availability of cheap oil, James Kunstler notes that "the fossil fuel bonanza was a one-time deal, and the interval we have enjoyed it in has been an anomalous period of history." In other words, not only have we pillaged our planet, in doing so we have made it well nigh impossible for future generations to maintain a similar standard of life.
The 20th century has also been the deadliest by far for humanity, and as historian Paul Johnson wrote, "the 20th century state has proved itself the great killer of all time." On top of the immense amount of oil we have siphoned out of the planet, we have consumed more iron, copper and every other imaginable resource in 100 years than we have in the previous thousands of years of human history. Since 1970, commodity prices have risen fivefold, and over the last 10 years they more than doubled. This is a clear sign of the unsustainable levels and speed at which we are depleting those resources.
Most of the close to 7 billion people who inhabit this planet today do not realize that almost all transport, agriculture, construction, pharmaceuticals, electronics and even the clothes we wear rely heavily on the 30 billion barrels of oil we consume each year. Nor do they understand the implications of hydrocarbons running out in what some believe could be a matter of decades. That same schedule applies equally to other resources "essential" to our modern lives, such as tin, copper or platinum.

A favorite family farm visit in Northern Michigan is also the site of a new agricultural crop finding success on the gentle farmlands near the 45th parallel. Rolling hills of lavender are creating a must see destination for tourists, garden clubs, families and plein air artists.
Visitors can enjoy a tour of the fields, join a class in making lavender wands, walk the lavender labyinth, shop a while in the giftshop, or sit under the big walnut tree to relax and contemplate the serene countryside. Individuals and groups can schedule a tour or consultation on growing lavender or beekeeping.
Lavender Hill Farms, established in 2003, is the largest commercial lavender farm in Michigan. The owners are committed to growing healthy varieties to supply the ever increasing demand for fresh and dried flowers, culinary lavender and a variety of sachets for home use. The farm is an earth friendly farm using no pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. So suited is the soil in Northern Michigan, that the use of fertilizers and irrigation is not necessary. Over 25 varieties are grown at Lavender Hill Farms, all of which are hand planted and harvested. Visitors are able to pick their own lavender, or perhaps view the distilling process.
Greetings Dear Lavender Friends.
It has been far too long since I last communicated. The site has a nervous tick. Well fix that and get back to you.
OPENING DAY MAY 15 10-4pm
ANNUAL PLANT SALE MAY 29-30 10-4pm

There's something unruly about today's update, an unmitigated energy pulsing through the bands and, by association, our photos. While big buzz acts often play several CMJ shows, Thursday was a make-it-or-break-it day for many, with a number of exclusive showcases and one-off performances. PopMatters was there alongside our photographer friends from Flavorpill, capturing it all in full (and sometimes florescent) color.

Laced with amazing visual stunts, standout performances, and a perspective of our nation that's nearly incomprehensible, we wind up tramping right along with our wide-eyed hero. We experience his dizzying highs…and everything that countermands such living in exile delights.
Wanderlust. For some, it's an innate human attribute. The desire to explore. The need to put distance between your 'here' and your soon to be 'there'. It's a concept so tied up in what supposedly made America great and won the West for the rest of us (cue visions of Conestoga wagons rambling across a purple mountains majesty) that it seems practically unpatriotic to question its aimless designs. Like Jack Kerouac uncovering the counterculture beat within a surreally conservative post-War world, to hippy hitchhikers who made the nation one big truck stop, we've always given the vagabond some metaphysical leeway. Even as their label has switched from hobo to bum to social eyesore, one's ability to roam free of responsibility has inspired and divined. It's so formidable that it's become the basis for songs, literature, and even personal philosophies. read full review…
Rendition [rating: 5]
Rendition is the result of such pompous over-pronouncements. It's a well-intentioned screed undone by its desire to make all sides of its conflict saintly simplistic.
Okay, okay, we get it. In the name of the War on Terror, the United States has screwed up – BIG time. We've made massive military and diplomatic blunders, turned ourselves from last remaining superpower to international laughing stock, and allowed our Red State leanings to manifest themselves in the biggest set of civil rights abuses since African Americans were forced to drink from segregated water fountains. So here's a message to Hollywood – enough already. We GET IT. Uncle Sam has ruined his reputation, our own government is complicit in major infractions of the Geneva Convention, and none of this is making us safer. So you've got plenty of targets to take out. Terrific. Just know this – you sell your media-minded position a lot more successfully when you remember to make your harangues entertaining. Without that, there's just empty, obnoxious jingoism. read full review…
Things We Lost in the Fire [rating: 4]
As yet another example of a gifted foreign filmmaker – in this case, After the Wedding's Dutch director Susanne Bier - fudging up their reputation by traveling over to Tinsel Town for some Western promise, Things We Lost in the Fire is Lifetime lite cinema masquerading as actual A-list excellence.
If you're looking to make your own list of all the things that you, as an audience member, might loose after suffering through this horrid Halle Berry/Benicio De Toro weeper, here's a small sampling to start you off: any sense of believable character; anything remotely resembling interpersonal reality; a lasting belief in the human spirit, especially that of a shrewish grieving widow; an acknowledgment for one's personal stake in their own addiction; children who act like something other than sage-like sears; neighbors who are judgmental and callous about an ex-junkie's plight; a father who cares more about a wife-beating butthead than the kids he's carrying ice cream for; the ancient art of subtle motion picture drama; a lack of Oscar baiting performance histrionics; two hours of your precious entertainment time. read full review…
30 Days of Night [rating: 4]
This is a failed fright flick that is so inspired by Stephen King that the famous horror scribe should consider suing.
Nothing is more aggravating – from an audience/critic/film fan perspective – than a good idea done half-assed. Religious allegories usually come up short because they are afraid to tackle the outright dogma dictated by the material, while up until recently, action films were addled by the technological limits placed on the writer/director's logistical imagination. In the genre realm, sci-fi and horror suffer equally. Again, until CGI stepped up cinema's visual game, realizing spacey, speculative ideas was all motion control and matt paintings. But in the realm of fright, something more sinister is stifling successful scares – a real lack of vision on both sides of the camera. The re-vampire tale 30 Days of Night won't be doing anything to change that anytime soon.read full review…

The neurologist Oliver Sacks has an extraordinary ability to write the life of the mind. Where others see illness, dementia, a fearsome strangeness and shy away, he's respectfully fascinated and introduces us to other states of being. His profiles aren't anything as clinical as case studies: he's created a new kind of biography, from the inside out.
His new book is Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain.
In Musicophilia, he examines the powers of music through the individual experiences of patients, musicians, and everyday people—from a man who is struck by lightning and suddenly inspired to become a pianist at the age of forty-two, to an entire group of children with Williams syndrome who are hypermusical from birth; from people with "amusia," to whom a symphony sounds like the clattering of pots and pans, to a man whose memory spans only seven seconds—for everything but music.
Our exquisite sensitivity to music can sometimes go wrong: Sacks explores how catchy tunes can subject us to hours of mental replay, and how a surprising number of people acquire nonstop musical hallucinations that assault them night and day. Yet far more frequently, music goes right: Sacks describes how music can animate people with Parkinson's disease who cannot otherwise move, give words to stroke patients who cannot otherwise speak, and calm and organize people whose memories are ravaged by Alzheimer's or amnesia.
From the Oliver Sacks website.
He speaks, yesterday, to Terry Gross on National Public Radio's Fresh Air.
In September Colombia University named him the first "Colombia Artist", and The New York Times reported:
The new appointment will allow Dr. Sacks, the author of 10 books and a frequent contributor to The New Yorker, to range freely across Columbia's departments, teaching, giving public lectures, conducting seminars, seeing patients and collaborating with other faculty members. Many of the details of his appointment have yet to be worked out, but among other things, he will be teaching in the university's creative writing department as well as at the medical school.
"My first year at Columbia is going to be, to some extent, a year of experiment and exploration," Dr. Sacks said. "I very much look forward to meeting students and faculty and doing classes that could be about almost anything, from music to psychiatry to whatever."
In an audio-file Oliver Sacks talks to the New Yorker about Musicophilia.
30 DAYS OF NIGHT (dir. David Slade)
Nothing is more aggravating—from an audience/critic/film fan perspective—than a good idea done half-assed. Religious allegories usually come up short because they are afraid to tackle the outright dogma dictated by the material, while up until recently, action films were addled by the technological limits placed on the writer/director's logistical imagination. In the genre realm, sci-fi and horror suffer equally. Again, until CGI stepped up cinema's visual game, realizing spacey, speculative ideas was all motion control and matte paintings. But in the realm of fright, something more sinister is stifling successful scares—a real lack of vision on both sides of the camera. The re-vampire tale 30 Days of Night won't be doing anything to change that anytime soon.
This is a failed fright flick that is so inspired by Stephen King that the famous horror scribe should consider suing. You'd have to be blind as a kind of you-know-what not to see it: the strangely evocative setting; the stranger who arrives with portents of doom; the sudden disappearance of most of the population; a group of survivors huddled together, narrative self-sacrifice just around the corner for most of them; a last act standoff involving human bravery and some manner of supernatural deus ex machine. If that rundown doesn't remind you of The Stand, Storm of the Century, Desperation, The Mist, or several other of the Maine man's macabres, you haven't been paying attention to genre fiction the last 30 years. This isn't a homage—it's downright literary heresy.
For the sake of clarity, here's what happens. In the town of Barrow, Alaska, the sun disappears once a year for an entire month. The majority of the population takes off for more hospitable climes, leaving Sheriff Eben Oleson (Josh Hartnett), a few of his deputies, and random individuals as caretakers of the one-horse burg. Through a standard storyline contrivance, Eben's soon to be ex-wife misses her helicopter connection and winds up stuck in the city as well. Similarly, a series of freak incidents (cellphone bonfires, the death of all the sled dogs) has the remaining inhabitants a little unsettled. After he arrests the plot catalyst—a creepy outsider spewing omens of evil—some rather nasty neckbiters show up. For reasons that are explained but never fully fathomable, these creatures want to use the area as a foundation for future frights. It's up to the soon to be survivors to rally together and save the day.
Don't let those without a historical perspective in horror sell you otherwise—there is NOTHING new about this abysmally dull movie. The monsters are all carved from the same post-modern Euro-trash idea of evil, speaking a strange Eastern Bloc version of Klingon to prove how peculiar they are. Our hero is a good hearted man whose been misunderstood by everyone around him—including his wandering eye whore of a wife. The police station is manned by members of the Oleson family, including an all knowing granny and an apprentice hero adolescent brother, and the rest of Barrow is overloaded with quirky, shortcut backstory (loner, ex-con, secret yellowbelly) plot pawns. Put them on the cinematic equivalent of a Tru-Action Vibrating Football Game and watch them roam around randomly for 100 mind numbing minutes.
Granted, director David Slade, famed for helming music videos for the likes of Aphex Twin, Stone Temple Pilots, and Tori Amos, gives it the old film school try (though nothing here resembles the tripwire work he achieved with his Hitchcockian pedophilia thriller Hard Candy). There's one particular shot, framed overhead and looking down at the town, that does a delightful job of following the blood-soaked melee between the vampires and their victims as it moves from building to building. There is also an excellent sequence where a snow plow takes on a collection of these throat tearing creeps. But for the most part, 30 Days of Night is extended scenes of dull dialogue that avoids anything remotely resembling context or clarity. Barrow itself seems locked in intriguing traditions and sunlight stifled rituals, but we learn little about such logistics.
Even worse, the characters are all cut from the same slab of uninteresting scary film sheetrock. Hartnett is supposed to be a good hearted, misunderstood figure, and his performance perfectly captures such a status. He is, without a doubt, the best thing about the movie. On the other hand, Melissa George misses the mark so many times as Stella Oleson that we keep waiting for the blood suckers to lock onto an artery and start sipping. She jumps from callous to conqueror—sometimes in the same sentence. As for the rest of the cast, it's a who's THAT collection of semi-recognizable faces, most notably Ben Foster as the Renfield without a cause and Nathaniel Lees as the local power plant operator. As for the villains, 30 Days does want them to be more than dimensionless fear factors, but aside from their Goth gang with dental issues design, they're just a joke. The only thing frightening about their sudden appearance is their utter lack of purpose. Aside from the spraying of blood and ersatz-eternal darkness, we have no idea why Barrow, and why now.
Sadly, Slade and his crew aren't providing answers. All they can manage is a little telegraphed gore (when we see a massive garbage shredder during the opening set-up, we just know a bad guy is doing a header into those mechanical teeth) and some inconsistent character interaction. There is a last act decapitation that's incredibly brutal, and the finale will satisfy those who like their fisticuffs nice and noxious, but when you can't get excited about the overall offal being offered, you know your spook show is failing. It could be the fact that we could care less who lives and who dies. No one character leaves enough of an impression to earn our consideration. Even worse, the vampires are just plain dopey. When they start infighting and squabbling in their native tongue (and they can speak broken English, mind you), you just want to slap them.
Again, it all comes down to uneven execution and subject matter redundancy. Halfway through this supposed reinvention of the genre, you'll be wondering when Pennywise the Clown will show up. Of course, if and when he does, Slade and his scripters won't do much with him. While some can argue over the less than faithful adaptation from the original graphic novel source material and complain that Hollywood loves to rip the teeth out of any and all horror efforts, 30 Days of Night suffers from many more motion picture maladies other than merely getting lost in translation. A town trapped in endless night being overrun by vampires has a nice revisionist ring to it. It also sounds like an installment from Hammer's Vault of Horror ("Midnight Mess", anyone?). Whatever the case, any novelty is short lived and inconsequential. There's more blight than night here.
INTO THE WILD (dir. Sean Penn)
Wanderlust. For some, it's an innate human attribute. The desire to explore. The need to put distance between your 'here' and your soon to be 'there'. It's a concept so tied up in what supposedly made America great and won the West for the rest of us (cue visions of Conestoga wagons rambling across a purple mountains majesty) that it seems practically unpatriotic to question its aimless designs. Like Jack Kerouac uncovering the counterculture beat within a surreal conservative post-War world, to hippie hitchhikers who made the nation one big truck stop, we've always given the vagabond some metaphysical leeway. Even as their label has switched from hobo to bum to social eyesore, one's ability to roam free of responsibility has inspired and divined. It's so formidable that it's become the basis for songs, literature, and even personal philosophies.
In his brilliant new film, Into the Wild, actor (re)turned writer/director Sean Penn focuses on such a modern day example of the fanciful free spirit. After graduating from Emory University, real life drifter Christopher McCandless cashed in his savings, sent it to charity, dispossessed himself of all other worldly excesses, and headed out to find America. Much to his miserable parents' chagrin (and his baby sister's accepting empathy), he trekked across the nation undetected, picking up odd jobs along the way to fund his adventures. After stop overs in South Dakota, where he worked at a grain mill, a West Coast jaunt with a pair of aging hippies, and a meet up with a widower ex-military man, he finally reached his goal—the deepest regions of Alaska's wilderness. There, inspired by authors like Thoreau, he intended to live off the land. But survival proved problematic, especially for someone who only saw the freedom (and none of the responsibilities) of such a lifestyle.
Based on a book by Jon Krakauer and McCandless' own diaries and writings, Into the Wild stands as the best movie in Penn's limited career behind the camera. After the arch dramatics of The Indian Runner, the considered tone poetry of The Crossing Guard, and the anti-thriller excellence of The Pledge, the Oscar winning actor pools all his talents to take on one of those too good to be true storylines. In the McCandless saga, you've got familial dysfunction, interpersonal pipe dreams, psychosocial subjectivity, the call of nature, and the undeniable allure of the open road to transform a simple act of individual wish fulfillment into something far more meaningful. Laced with amazing visual stunts, standout performances, and a perspective of our nation that's nearly incomprehensible, we wind up tramping right along with our wide-eyed hero. We experience his dizzying highs…and everything that countermands such living in exile delights.
Penn can't do this alone, mind you. He needs an actor that expertly supplements the sumptuous visuals passing before the screen without getting lost—or worse, overpowering them. There needs to be a balance between fool and Renaissance man, master of one's destiny and disturbingly unprepared plebe. The startling Emile Hirsch is that shape-shifting star, and his turn here is award worthy. Switching between wildly incongruent modes and balancing his inner perseverance with his outer obstacles, we get a performance so deep and dimensional that, even after two hours, we feel like we've barely gotten to know this intriguing individual. Hirsch has to hold us this way, since we no longer live in a society that validates the eccentric actions of someone like McCandless. One slip, and we too would join the harangue that questions his sanity, considers him spoiled, and wonders what his parents did to ever warrant such conspicuous rejection.
One of the great things about Into the Wild is that Penn leaves motives open for interpretation. The character's actions are not fathomless—a voiceover narration gives us lots of juicy details regarding abuse, marital strife, and unrealistic parental goals—and whenever McCandless interacts with others, we sense a closed off antisocial stance that tends to explain his micromanaged decisions. Indeed, when he finally finds the Alaskan sanctuary he so desperately wants, our hero appears reborn. Gone are the expectations of the world. Stripped back to the very essence of existence, McCandless is forced to face up to the frontier. The fact that he then immediately commandeers an abandoned school bus (and all the camper friendly accommodations and comforts in it) begins Penn's sly dissection of the character's true intent. Indeed, Into the Wild isn't so much about a need for isolation as a call for understanding and acceptance.
It is clear that McCandless did not get along with his parents. As played brilliantly by William Hurt and Marcia Gay Harden, we see a nuclear family falling apart for reasons that are very specific and rather surreal. As with most suburban squabbles, it is buried beneath a veneer of high balls and a series of shattering behind the scenes breakdowns. These fuzzy flashbacks, meant to act as support for our lead's longing, do a magnificent job of underwriting his angst. We are supposed to feel the same sense of disassociation that McCandless experiences, and Penn uses the sequences as fuel to push us, and his characters, along. When these moments appear, we prepare ourselves for the onslaught of information, and experience an unusual sort of calm when their purpose fades from view.
Also offering their own sense of motivation is the odd selection of individuals we meet. In typical road movie style, Into the Wild celebrates the breadth of human diversity by giving us several clear examples of it. In Vince Vaughn's agricultural con man (he sells bootleg satellite TV set ups on the side) we see freedom as an illustration of minor lawlessness. In the Danish tourists camping along the Rio Grande, we see liberty as an expression of travel and open friendliness. For aging deadheads Jan and Rainey, it's autonomy connecting to a fading vision of the '60s dream of peace and love. Catherine Keener and former rafting guide Brian Dierker are amazing as the bickering, somewhat settled couple. They inadvertently remind McCandless of all he left behind, frequently becoming indirect antagonists to his progress.
For retired Army man (and lonely father figure) Ron Franz, family is all there is to live for. He becomes our hero's greatest test, a giving human being who has nothing but support and nonjudgmental warmth to give. Played by Hal Holbrook in a manner that belies his 82 years on the planet, we sense a real connection between the two, a grandfather/grandson dynamic that appears to heal the wounds McCandless is suffering from. But our focus is also a bone-headed young man, convinced that if he lets anyone in, he'll have to face the self-produced demons he's been suppressing all these years. One of Into the Wild's clearest themes is that of escape. Everyone involved in this narrative is looking to get away—from their life, their past, their current situation. Only McCandless has the gumption to take said longing literally.
While we see his outdoorsy resilience throughout the film, Penn makes the wonderful decision to make the last act all about McCandless' confrontation with the realities of the wilderness. It's not so much a sequence about dreams shattering as it is about their initially deceptive impact on people. In his case, the desire to runaway to Alaska is the direct result of a more overreaching need to disappear into himself. For this character, it's the only person that hasn't let him down. Of course, fate is funny when toyed with. McCandless soon discovers how poorly prepared he is for a life all alone, and the finale is as heart wrenching as it is humble. While you can argue that it's all a question of taking on nature and realizing who's really boss, Into the Wild offers a more intriguing conclusion. Perhaps it's possible to actually run away from it all. Maybe Christopher McCandless was not the proper candidate to try it.
With a final frame that's devastating in what it says about the movie we've seen and the person whose story we've shared, Into the Wild suggests that film can actually survive the new digital explosion to remain a wholly artful medium. Penn's proclivity for dramatic slow motion and epic environs never grows indulgent, and the performances celebrate the people being portrayed without dismissing their importance or place. Standing as a monumental achievement in the career's of all involved, this is a film that will stand as a terrific entertainment, an intriguing character study, and a clever cautionary example. The next time you feel like getting away from it all, remember Christopher McCandless and his tireless dedication to such an ideal. Apparently, absolute freedom has a cost few of us ever consider. Such a price can place things in perspective quite nicely

SEC's lunch links
April, 1, 2014
By Alex Scarborough | ESPN.com
College football's most high-profile head coach weighed in on the Northwestern players' bid to unionize yesterday. Nick Saban said after practice at Alabama that players should be compensated and deserve a voice in what happens. Are we seeing the beginning of a movement, the start of a never-ending legal process or both? Whatever it is, it's moving along as the next step is Washington, D.C.
- Alec Morris is right in the thick of the race to become Alabama's next starting quarterback. But apparently the big Texan has another role: punter.
- Arkansas is back at it after spring break. And while some coaches may not love the delay in the action, Bret Bielema said he's in favor of the stretched out camp.
- Reese Disumkes has already accomplished a lot in his career at Auburn. Glancing over the list of returning linemen in the SEC, he's arguably the league's best center. But this spring he's focused on improving two specific skills.
- Will Grier has wasted no time at Florida as it appears he's headed for the backup role behind Jeff Driskel. What's amazing is the former U.S. Army All-American and ESPN 300 recruit has only been on campus for a few months.
- There was a bit of false confidence among the Georgia defense last season. The result? Well you know how bad it was. Long on talent yet again, players are doing less talking this spring and more learning from new defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt.
- Experience. Experience. Experience. Kentucky's players on defense may not have much of it, but the coaches do. The Wildcats' new special teams coordinator is the third coach with defensive coordinator experience, including head coach Mark Stoops.
- LSU defensive back Kavahra Holmes won't be back on the football field in 2014. The track star is transferring after appearing in one game last season.
- Ole Miss early enrollee C.J. Hampton says, "I know I'm not ready to step in right now." With some time, the four-star safety could be.
- Pharoh Cooper went to South Carolina to become a defensive back. But now he's playing four roles and none of them are on defense.
