I was born and raised in Beijing, China. Graduated from Peking University in 1983 with a degree in English Literature. Upon graduation I became an English teacher at university. I met my American husband on campus. We have been living in US for 29 years. This exquisite property surrounded by natural wonders is our sanctuary. Tranquility, beauty and pure air calm the body and mind and uplift the soul...

This is one of the most beautiful homes in Hilo. If you love beauty, refinement and tranquility, this is the place!
Reeds Island where the house locates is an exclusive community between two volcano rivers. Beautiful homes and fine neighbors are embracing and loving. Tropical rain forests and wildlife lie in every direction. A walk on the island is a step into natural beauty. It's ten minutes walk to historic Hilo downtown where boutique shops, galleries, restaurants and Farmers Market line the streets. Beeches, parks and Japanese garden are minutes away.
Our Hilo House experience was awesome. We loved the atmosphere of old houses and architecture. Fantastic bedrooms, you could hear the waterfall and birds at night. What it made fantastic were the details: fresh flowers in all rooms, the garden is maintained, the wooden floors, the marble baths, ... and as a passionate cook I highly appreciated good solingen knives (which is normally a deficit in most rented places), so I could cook breadfruit, taro and seafood from the local markets. As a party of three we enjoyed sitting on the terrace, plenty of room for all (would house parties up to 12-14 people, too)
We had a group of 7-11 people in this house depending on the day (we're all in our mid-late 20s/early 30s) for a low-key bachelor party trip (mix of guys and girls). We loved it and were reluctant to leave at first because of how great we thought the house was...I could lounge around that place aaaaaall summer if I could! That being said, we're a pretty active group and drove all over the big island, but the Hilo House being our base was fantastic. :)
- Great feel/atmosphere (it's got a plantation-y kinda feel, old school but with modern amenities)
- lovely rooms
- so many bathrooms (showers for all!!)
- beach umbrellas to borrow in the basement
- good contact with property owner/manager
- large dining room table
- great kitchen
- so many chairs
- river with small waterfall visible from backyard
- WiFi available
- Close to grocery stores/town
- The fact that there were 2 dryers was nice
- Water pressure in the showers were pretty wimpy at times (that might have been because we were all showering at the same time though)
- No AC (but like I said, this is common in Hawaii and not a deal breaker--we were fine)
- No TV in main living space, it's tucked away in the basement---but who cares, we were in Hawaii with friends :)
- Basement smelled kinda musty, but it wasn't super horrible and none of us stayed down their anyway
NOTE: Be careful about those white towels. There's a charge if you get too much dirt on them, because they end up having to replace them. I suggest if you do the Green Sand beach on the southern part of the Big Island, like we did, that you try to wash off as much as you can before entering the house--which is what we should have done. lol. I don't know if there's a hose or something outside we could've used, but if there isn't then my suggestion to the Hilo House would be to maybe get an outdoor shower for people coming back from the beaches, or to clean off more before getting back inside. :) If there is one already, we didn't know about it.
We loved our stay in the beautiful reed's house with its elegant furniture and waterfall next door. It was wonderful being able to hear the water all night from our front room. The back rooms were quiet if you did not enjoy having a private waterfall. Well appointed kitchen and a grand old dining room took us back to old Hawaii.
I was lucky enough to stay here twice. Summer 2015 we had a wonderful time for 2 nights with our paddling team. When some of my family decided to visit me on Maui and wanted to go to Big Island to see Volcanoes park, I knew we had to stay here. This home is truly reminiscent of Old Hawaii, but with all the modern upgrades. We had 12 adults from 17 years old to 63 and never felt crowded. The home is spacious and relaxing. The dining room table seats everyone and was the center for fun dinners and card games. Our three night stay will go down in our Family Lore as a highlight.
This house exceeded all of my expectations. It was stunning! Lots of room for all of our guests. We had 13 people staying in the house and we all had plenty of room. We loved all of the windows that opened and let in the trade winds. There is a HUGE picture window on the back of the house that opens up completely. We called it Jungle TV because it overlooks the Wailuku river running behind the house. My husband and I held our wedding ceremony on the property and it was perfect! We really appreciated how private the house felt but it is within walking distance of the downtown Hilo area. The property manager was there upon arrival and gave us a nice walk through and intro to the house and the area. We cooked breakfast and dinner at the house every night. The kitchen is FULLY stocked with all the pots, pans and baking dishes you could ever want. The farmer's market is a great place to pick up produce as well. We all loved finding the geckos in various places throughout the house as well. They are cute and didn't bother us one bit. We truly felt like we were staying in the tropics. This property is unique and you won't be disappointed! We left planning our 5 year anniversary to invite everyone back to the house so we could enjoy paradise again!
We recently stayed at Hilo House and found it perfectly suited for our needs (two families with 7 children in total). It is a beautiful spacious old house with wonderful views of the river and rainforest beyond. There was enough room for people to be up and about, with others sleeping in, and a very convenient location from which to explore the eastern coast of the island and the Volcano National Park. I would highly recommend it.
We had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful home for several days for our Hula Workshop. We had students from Massachusetts, Arizona, Korea, Japan and Hilo, Hawaii. Without exception everyone was totally impressed with this venue as a base for the time we were together. While, for most of the day, we were out a various parts of Hawaii Island learning about the different aspects of Hula it was such a relief for everyone to be able to come back, after long hours of study, to this beautiful historic home in a quiet, safe neighborhood and discuss the events of the day in such a warm and comfortable setting. Relaxing in the large family room presented a comfortable setting for studying, meetings & discussions. The large dinner table offered an opportunity for us to eat together. The very large kitchen provided an opportunity for our students to participate together in cooking our meals. Finally, the historic bedrooms provided for a peaceful and quiet night of rest serenaded to sleep by the rushing waters of the Wailuku River just outside the bedroom windows. We conduct our Hula Workshop annually. This venue is at the top of our list to return to. The management staff was responsive to all our needs when requested. Not a resort. It is a step into the past of the gracious historic Hilo style living. Happy 100th Birthday next year (2016).
This grand Victorian house is located by the historic Hilo downtown on the Reeds Island, a hidden jewel of Hawaii Big Island. In the old time, royal families occupied the prestigious island with Wailuku River running at the back yard and tropical rain forest covering the grounds. Surrounded by the natural beauty and wild lives, this beautiful house is placed on the National Registry for Historic Places.
Built by the British banker Thomas Guard in 1916, the property is all grandeur, elegance, and tranquility. The gracious living room has large sliding picture window framing the magnificent canopy of nature across the River. Spacious dining room and family/TV room are always inviting. The enclosed Lanai has large French windows and door, ideal for office and creative work. Four spacious bedrooms and open balcony on the second floor face the waterfalls and downtown Hilo Bay. Kitchen is updated as well as the washer and dryer in the roomy basement.
Enjoy your breakfast and lunch out on the front lanai is a treat!--a precious time watching native birds and tropical plants.
The refined landscape garden ground has been meticulously cared for by our gardeners. Every direction offers lush green and tropical colors.
If you are seeking for beauty, relaxation and tranquility, this is the right place!

Glad to see this posted here as it is our all-time-favorite BBQ sauce. The balsamic really gives it a richer flavor and it is so easy to make. Thanks for posting...it is a must try...just wonderful!
Big hit here at my house. Hubby wanted BBQ, I wanted something different. So this was a great compromise. Used on chicken. Thanks for posting.
My neighbor emailed this recipe to me after seeing the show yesterday, so I whipped up a batch for her today. VERY tasty stuff. Definitely can taste the balsamic, so if you are not keen on it you'll want to stay away LOL. After 15 minutes of simmering, mine ended up being a little too thick so I will only simmer for 10 minutes next time. THANKS for posting. Back to report that this is a real keeper. . .going into my favorites folder. Served it atop steak and WOW was it amazing. I think it would also be great on chicken or pork or even grilled tofu!!
I was getting ready to post this and searched for it first. This is a great change from store bought bottled sauce and the taste is completely different. I use splenda brown sugar. Yum!
Fantastic sauce especially if you like to dip during eating
I saw this episode of Everyday Italian as well. Made up a batch of this, used part of it to marinate a pork tenderloin and used the rest on the side. MY DH went NUTS over this sauce! He was using his fingers to slurp up every bit of this stuff. Great!


text: Team Ichigo Mashimaro I find it very difficult to build a strong defensive team, and I'm also not a huge fan of stall play (experiencing restalk Bronzong vs. Psychic/Ice Beam restalk Cresselia ruined me for that game). You might find it easy to imagine my dismay at the predominantly stall-based UU metagame, where very few offensive teams have displayed the ability to succeed on a competitive level. This is my attempt at an offensive UU team. The focus of this team is absorption: in order to avoid being slowly worn down by opposing attackers, each of these pokemon carries at least one immunity which are used to make constant switching a non-issue. Most, if not all of the team members possess enough offensive capability to force switches, which leaves me time to cause my own bits of damage in the early- to mid-game, and free setup turns for sweeping in the late-game. The reason I named this team Ichigo Mashimaro is that each team member resembles a character from the rather loli-tastic anime quite closely, either in function or appearance. I also got into the habit of naming my favorite working teams after anime, so this is my first one for UU. Feel free to skip the descriptions, if that's not your thing; I do think that fans of the anime would appreciate them, though. The Team "Sakuragi Matsuri" Claydol @ Leftovers Bold Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 144 Def / 104 SpA / 8 Spe - Stealth Rock - Rapid Spin - Earth Power - Shadow Ball Matsuri wears glasses, and Claydol has a whole bunch of eyes. That's really the only connection I could make, but I do think they look a little similar. Very basic Claydol. It's my main Aerodactyl and Steelix switch-in as it resists QuakeSlide, and serves as a defensive buffer and team supporter. Ninetales and Swellow can't afford to take 25% on each switch-in, and they're doing that more often than they would on a typical team. Earth Power threatens Steelix, Shadow Ball hits ghosts trying to block Rapid Spin (and definitely helps to wear down Rotom for swellow to sweep in lategame). Claydol is overall a lackluster team member who doesn't really do anything other than spin and set up rocks, and I think there is much I can do to improve it, if not replace it. "Matsuoka Miu" Poliwrath @ Leftovers Adamant Ability: Water Absorb EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 Spe - Substitute - Focus Punch - Ice Punch - Hypnosis The picture hopefully explains it all. Miu is the only one brash enough to take on the role of the ever-angry Poliwrath, anyway. Also a very basic team member. I have no idea about significant EV benchmarks for Poliwrath, so I maxed HP, letting her take some pretty powerful hits, and maxed Attack, since she is offensive. There is probably a better way to maximize Poliwrath's defenses though. I also am concerned about Poliwrath's speed, because she should ideally be outrunning Meganium (as I've found through experience), but without that bit of speed, there's not much to do against the plant, dinosaur thing. As for gameplay goes, Focus Punch and Ice Punch give me very good coverage; Substitute is obviously there to let Focus Punch be a viable, multiple-use move, and Hypnosis is wonderful for team support, though I'm a little displeased with its accuracy and wish my strategy didn't rely on it that much. Nevertheless, I have VERY few problems using this moveset effectively; as I've stated, my concern lies mostly with the EV spread. "Sasazuka" Lanturn @ Leftovers Modest Ability: Volt Absorb EVs: 40 HP / 136 Def / 252 SpA / 80 Spe - Confuse Ray - Discharge - Surf - Ice Beam Token dude. There are really only 5 main characters in Ichigo Mashimaro, and I was kind of pressed for names, so Sasazuka is the only one who fit the bill. He really has nothing to do with Lanturn at all, but he is a pretty cool guy overall anyway and so is Lanturn. It'll have to do. Here's a somewhat offensively oriented parafusion set. I tend not to send Lanturn in against unresisted special attacks so extra SpD is unnecessary. With a little bit of hax on my side (which honestly isn't too outlandish here), I can manage to beat most Hypno and Clefable one-on-one, though Grumpig is still a full stop. I did end up borrowing this ev spread from the analysis, since I wanted to utilize the leftovers number; I found that there were no significant benchmarks in between using 80 evs and 216 Spe EVs, so I dumped the rest in Def to let Lanturn take physical and special hits equally well. "Ana Coppola" Ninetales @ Life Orb Timid Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 6 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe - Nasty Plot - Dark Pulse - Flamethrower - Energy Ball The prettiest one of the bunch (no pedo). This one was pretty easy. With Poliwrath, I'm already carrying sleep support, so I ran Dark Pulse here to 2HKO Hypno and Grumpig after a Nasty Plot. Clefable is also 2HKOed by a boosted Flamethrower, although I do have to watch out for Thunder Wave. I can usually rely on Ninetales to pull off a reliable lategame sweep, and if Lanturn has proven successful at drawing out the opponent's special wall midgame, I don't even need to boost in order to clean up. "Itou Nobue" Swellow @ Flame Orb Jolly Ability: Guts EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe - Pursuit - U-Turn - Facade - Quick attack The (much) older of the Itou sisters, Nobue is a heavy drinker and smoker. I guess that has enough to do with Swellow's Toxic/Flame Orb usage. Besides that, both Swellow and Nobue have nothing really special going on, so they're kind of alike. I usually find myself switching Swellow in on ground attacks, so I've omitted the common Protect in favor of all-out offense. Pursuit and U-Turn cause a little bit of damage each turn I use Swellow, hitting the fleeing opponent for 80 and the incoming counter for 80 as well. Pursuit also prevents Rotom from walling me into oblivion lategame, dealing near-KO damage on most variants. Guts + Facade's power isn't something to be taken lightly, either, as it easily 2HKOs Weezing, meaning rock and steel types are the only definitive stop; all five other members of the team, fortunately, have answers for these. Quick Attack takes care of choice scarfers who otherwise give me a lot of trouble, and can occasionally revenge kill a weakened Aerodactyl if really necessary. "Itou Chika" Absol @ Life Orb Naive Super Luck EVs: 252 Atk / 16 SpA / 240 Spe - Swords Dance - Sucker Punch - Psycho Cut - Fire Blast Chika has a funny thing coming out of the right side of her head, so it stands to reason that she'd be an Absol. Besides that, Chika is my favorite Ichigo Mashimaro character, and Absol is definitely my favorite UU pokemon overall, making this one a real no-brainer. Technician Scyther, Manectric, and Aerodactyl scare this team pretty badly. Scyther can threaten absol with Quick Attack, but otherwise, the ever-handy Sucker Punch takes care of all three. Fire Blast solves my Weezlix problems, 2HKOing them both easily. Psycho Cut takes care of the ever-threatening fighting types. It plays a little like Chain Chomp; I Swords Dance first turn, switch out if it's Weezlix. Second time around, ridiculous surprise! Here, have a Fire Blast. The Life Orb Boost gives me that extra kick in the lategame, when I might not have enough time to swords dance, but if I manage to grab that Attack boost (usually on kids trying to dodge Sucker Punch) the results are devastating. This Absol takes a spectacular amount of prediction to use effectively, but provides very satisfying damage output to make up for all the hard thinking work. :3 Unresolved trouble spots: Status - Without an Aromatherapist or a resttalker, I lack a true all-purpose status absorber. Hypnosis is pretty debilitating in the early game, when Swellow isn't burned yet; I do have trouble dealing with the likes of Jumpluff or Persian leads. Most of the time I let Poliwrath sleep in order to activate Sleep Clause, and play from there. Thunder Waves are kind of easy to predict, easily handled by Lanturn; Will-o-wisp and Toxic are obviously going straight to Ninetales and Swellow. Grass Attacks - Grass-type attacks hit 3/6 of my team super effective. Fortunately, Ninetales is my number one switch-in, and usually forces grass-type attackers out. I usually don't have many issues playing around these, but HP Grass is the main reason I sometimes have issues with Manectric. Swellow - My only "counter" is my own Swellow, to be honest. Basically I choose Facade and hope that I win the coin toss for speed. If Poliwrath manages to get a Sub up, Swellow obviously won't dare to stay in, but otherwise, opposing Swellow Brave Birds it into oblivion. Having Rotom here instead of either Lanturn or Claydol would definitely work, but the former is important for 100% electric absorption, and the latter for Rapid Spinning. Scyther - While I can beat it midgame with loads of prediction and some rocks up, lead Scyther, on the other hand, is a super problem. Obviously it doesn't take Stealth Rock damage, and even though Swellow outspeeds it, she's not at all powerful enough to KO a full health Scyther, and from there it's 6-0. Again, to wall Scyther, i've considered running Rotom over Lanturn. I've also considered placing Swellow in the lead, but she lacks protect and thus has no strong opening move (granted, sometimes, neither does Claydol). If I don't run Rotom, would using a lead Protect/Facade/Quick Attack/Pursuit swellow be viable? Or in that case, should I run U-Turn over Quick Attack, as useful as a priority move may be? This is perhaps the most daunting problem I've got. I hope that covers it all, and through posting this I hope to get both specific advice for this team, and a little bit of general advice for offensive UU team building. Please rate my team!

Having said that, it is also true that you need to get used to types of questions you see on the test and by taking the test many times or practice a decent number of questions, you can get your score a little higher (sometimes way higher) than you would without any practices. In this sence, this book is excellent. The level of questions, 10 prep tests that look very similar to the actual test.
But mind you though, the audio quality of the tapes that accompany the book is way better than that of TOEFL. The audio quality of TOEFL is terrible. It's almost like 8 bit recording VS. 24 bit recording. So it's a good idea to at least lower the volume when you practice. POWEPREP is downloadable from the TOEFL website. You need to do this to experience this "wow, what a bad quality" shock before you take an actual test.
I got 220-280 on the first practice, 210-260 on the second test, I only did one prep test on this book and got a similar score. The real test turn out to be in the same range (216-275 or something, although I don't know my real score yet.) I thought the real test was so much easier than the practices you get on the book. I don't really know what I missed. But it's always a good idea to practice a little harder questions.
This book will well prepare you for the test and could possibly bring you a way better score than you would get without any preperation. To get used to the test, I highly recommend it.
However, essay section in Cambridge Preparation for Toefl Test is certainly better.
In addition, for grammar section you may wish to buy Cliff's Toefl. Cliff's Toefl has better grammar review especially for those who are afraid of grammar in the test. After Cliff's Toefl you will more confident not only in Toefl grammar but also in English grammar as a whole. Cliff's Toefl also has 6 full lenght practice tests.
Therefore, if you want to save money just buy only CD Rom of Delat without book and cassetts for practicing and buy Cliff's Toefl for Grammar and Essay sections.
I think it must be tried.

I found this book very helpful. It has a lot of tests and very close to the real TOEFL. If one can do all the practice of this book, the person is sure to get good scores.Published on Dec 10 2003
If you have enought time (at least 8 weeks), the book provides complete practice for preparing. Remind you to buy the cassettes. Read morePublished on March 20 2003 by Garnet
