Hawaii State Capitol
The Hawaii State Capitol is part of the Hawaii Capital Historic District, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978.
The Hawaii State Capitol building was built to replace the former statehouse, Iolani Palace, and to house the offices of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor, offices of state legislators, and the chambers of the state House and Senate. The location of the Capitol was selected in 1944. In 1959, the governor appointed a State Capitol Architects Advisory Committee, co-chaired by Robert Midkiff of the Hawaiian Trust Co., Ltd. and Representative George M. Koga, and composed of Hawaiian citizens and critics including Pietro Belluschi. The committee selected the Honolulu firm of Belt, Lemmon & Lo and the San Francisco firm of John Carl Warnecke & Associates to design the new state capitol. The building was designed in 1960 and approved by the Legislature in 1961. The original estimated cost of the building was $24 million. However, the public was displeased by this large price tag, so the estimated cost was lowered to $14,500,000. Construction commenced in November 1965 and was completed on March 15, 1969.
The Hawaii State Capitol is a five-story building with an open central courtyard. According to the architects, "The center of the building, surrounded by a ring of columns, is a great entrance well open on all sides at ground level and reaching upward through four floors of open galleries to the crown canopy and the open sky. Visitors can walk directly into the spectators' galleries overlooking the House and Senate chambers situated at ground level, and they can reach any of the upper floors by elevators." Caucus rooms, clerks' and attorneys' offices, a library, a public hearing room, and suites for the President and Speaker of the House and their staffs are at the level of the chamber floors. The two legislative office floors are of similar design, with peripheral offices for the legislators. On the fourth floor are key staff agencies and the offices of the Governor and Attorney General, as well as space for the Legislative Council. The suites for the Governor and Lieutenant Governor are on the uppermost floors, overlooking the sea on the outside and the courtyard on the inside. Public circulation on the upper floors is through lanais that overlook the court. Parking is provided in the basement.
The building is constructed of reinforced concrete and was designed to resist earthquake forces. A ring of twenty-four exposed concrete columns rise from the reflecting pool to a height of about 60' to support the actual roof—the fourth floor—which cantilevers out from the flat vaults at the tops of the columns.
The Capitol is located downtown, in close proximity to other municipal buildings. From 1959-68, Iolani Palace (built in 1882 as a residence for Hawaiian royalty) served as Hawaii's first State Capitol, housing the legislature and Governor's office. The new State Capitol replaced Iolani Palace in 1969, while Iolani Palace was restored and reopened as a museum. The new Capitol building was constructed within the 24-acre park that already contained the Palace and other historic buildings. The original plan consisted of a series of open spaces connected by tree-lined streets and terminated at both ends by pedestrian malls. The civic center would run from the mountains to the sea, which is an ancient Hawaiian tradition for land division.
The technical innovation of the Hawaii State Capitol is the architects' optical illusion: the fourth floor of the building seems to impossibly hover upon slender, elegant columns. When looking under the building's peristyle, the structural support is found: each column supports a flat vault, which in turns, bears the expansive fourth floor.
The interior surfaces of the building are generally finished with indigenous materials, such as obia and koa, native hardwoods.
The building is distinctive for its openness, a quality which reflects the open character of Hawaiian society. The great central courtyard, which is open on two sides to the park that surrounds the building, recognizes the fluid relationship between the Hawaiian people and their legislators. From the court, the public has access to the legislative chambers, entering the spectator galleries for both houses at court level. It also has access to the upper floors by stair and elevator.
The Hawaii State Capitol was designed to reflect the historical and cultural significance, as well as the natural beauty, of the Hawaiian Islands. The number eight has been incorporated into the building as a metaphor of the eight major Hawaiian Islands. There are eight columns in the front and back of the building, groups of eight columns on the balcony surrounding the fourth floor, and eight panels on the doors leading to the Governor's and Lieutenant Governor's chambers. The Capitol is also surrounded by water as a symbol of the Pacific Ocean, and the columns that rise from the reflecting pools are representative of palm trees. The curved, sloping walls of the House and Senate chambers were inspired by the volcanoes from which the islands were created. The building was also constructed in an open-air design, with open entryways and an open courtyard containing a glass mosaic floor mural called "Aquarius," designed by Tadashi Sato and representing the movement of dappled light and underwater formations in shades of blue and green. Replicas of the State Seal hang from the Capitol's entrances. A statue of Father Damien, a Catholic priest who died in 1888 after sixteen years of serving Hawaiian patients afflicted with leprosy, also stands prominently on the grounds.
The Hawaii State Capitol was built to replace the former statehouse, Iolani Palace, and to house the offices of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor, offices of state legislators, and the chambers of the state House and Senate. The building, along with Iolani Palace and other historic sites in the area comprise the Hawaii Capital Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The design of the Hawaii State Capitol building was enthusiastically approved by the Governor and legislators in 1961. It reflects and symbolizes the cuThe Hawaii State Capitol along with Iolani Palace and other historic sites in the area comprise the Hawaii Capital Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The design of the Hawaii State Capitol building was enthusiastically approved by the Governor and legislators in 1961. The critics on the Capitol Architects Advisory Committee said that it was, "the visual image of a building symbolic of the State of Hawaii…[it has] dignity and poetry without ostentation." It reflects and symbolizes the culture and natural beauty of Hawaii, and it complements the historic buildings to create a rich and varied civic center.
As a functioning government building, the Hawaii State Capitol building is well-maintained. It is also part of the Capital Historic District, and therefore, protected and preserved under the supervision of the Historic Preservation Division of the State Department of Land and Natural Resources.

" I recently purchased a new truck from Olathe Toyota. I must say, it was the best experience at a dealership ive ever had. The whole team there was friendly and welcoming. Bob showed me around and ran through all of the features of the truck right away. As well as setting up all of the paperwork to make sure everything was taken care of. Scott was extremely helpful in explaining all of the financing details and made sure everything was clear. Matt takes special care to make sure the vehicles are serviced. Just a super dependable group that took all the stress away from buying a new vehicle! "
"Beware of Lifetime Warranty - Deceptive"
" Concerns I have with the deceptive Lifetime Warranty: - Even if all factory scheduled maintenance is done at Olathe Toyota if you are off a little on the mileage between oil changes, the 3rd party will deny your claim. - The Olathe Toyota Service Department is not aware of which vehicles are covered by the Lifetime Warranty. You have to tell them on each visit. - The Olathe Toyota Service Department is not trained on which repairs are covered by the Lifetime Warranty. You have to ask them on each repair before authorizing a repair. I have purchased three new cars from Olathe Toyota including doing all my maintenance there and overall have been satisfied. One of the reasons I buy from this dealership and do all my service there is the included Lifetime Warranty. Its included in all their marketing as well. For the majority of the time I have had really good experiences with the service department. I have found a big issue with the service department not being aware of which customers have the lifetime warranty issued by their own dealership and not sure which repairs would be covered. Recently, I had a 2013 Toyota Sienna with 113,000 miles on it the front left and right axles needed replacement. The service department gave me a quote and I asked if it would be covered by the lifetime warranty, they told me no so I told them to start on the work. I then went and read what was covered in the factory warranty and found it should be covered. I called them back and told them it should be covered and they verified it was a covered item. They submitted all of my service records for work done in their service department. After the repair was complete, I was informed the 3rd party issuer of their Lifetime Warranty was denying the claim because on one occurrence a n oil change was done a little early and the following was done a little late. The service department said they fought my case with the 3rd party and then they said they wanted to inspect the vehicle before authorizing the repair. The service department informed them the repair had already been completed and the claim was denied. "
" The service department is excellent. My level of worry over car issues has dropped 90% since I've started going here. An impressive waiting room for the service department. We have had one new car purchase here and the staff was easy going and not once did I feel any pressure to get the sale done. "
" Greg B. was wonderfully helpful to work with. He and the rest of the sales team were professional and presented all our options without being pushy. They were responsive to our requests, answered all our questions, and helped us find the car that fit our needs. Daniel T. was likewise helpful and easy to work with in the payment/financing department. Thanks to him, it was a quick and well-informed process. Finally, thanks to Robert J. who helped us with our first car from Olathe Toyota. His level of service is what brought us back to purchase our second Toyota, five years after the first one. "
" Just bought my 7th new vehicle from Olathe Toyota. Robert Jackson is a great salesman, helps you find what you want but doesn't pressure to get more than you want, need or can afford. He's one of the reasons I come back. Jack, who helps with explaining all the new features is also a good benefit. Along with Robert Jackson, the Service Department is the other reason I buy here. Great service on time, no pressure, and clear, detailed explanations if you have any questions. I'll keep coming back and I highly recommend them. "
" Jose was our sales associate could not have had a better experience. Very polite and knowledge willing to go the extra mile. Thank you for the great experience. See Jose for your car buying needs. "
" Very pleased with the care and customer service Trevor provided on our purchase of the RAV4. We had a really bad experience at Hendrick Toyota on a previous purchase and this was totally opposite. Highly recommend Trevor and Olathe Toyota. "
" Nine years later im back at Olathe Toyota for my second Tacoma.These guys are so easy to work with it's dangerous, My salesman Mason was awesome to work with and made my purchase flawless. I would definitely drive out of my way again to deal with Yo and his crew and you just cant beat they're lifetime warranty. Thanks guys "
" I recently had my car serviced at Olathe Toyota recently. As always I had another great service with great friendly people. I dropped it off the night before and it was ready for me when I got there after work. Thanks to a shuttle service they have I did not have to inconvenience a family member or a friend for a ride. Thank you for helping me keep my car and my families cars in tip top shape and pointing out all repairs that we need to have done. "
" Jose was a great salesman he listened to our needs and made it happen. Our first time in and we went away in a new car. I would recommend this location to anyone! "

" I cannot say enough great things about our experience with Leroy Giles when we bought our Rav4 this week. Leroy was so easy to work with, professional, kind, and knowledgeable. He made our car buying experience fun and it was like hanging out with a friend. Ask for Leroy to help you and you will be happy that you did! Jack also did a great job showing us the features and benefits on our car and answering any questions we had. Thanks so much! They both deserve raises! What an excellent team you have at this location. Thank you also to Bobby who explained all of the paperwork to us in a concise manner. I highly recommend Olathe Toyota for all of your car needs. Thank You Again! You All are Fantastic! "
" Josh was very warm but yet professional salesman. He answered all our questions and was very patient because we had quite a few. We were very happy with the deal and ended up with a beautiful 2020 RAV4 Limited and love it. The upgrades are fantastic. This is our 3rd RAV4 we have bought from this dealership and have never been disappointed. They treat you right. We will definitely go back but I'm afraid at our age the car will outlast us. lol "
" I had called Kendal and told him I'm ready for a new 2020 Tundra. I told him to let me know when they offer some incentives too and I would be in. After about 6 weeks I got a call from Kendal and he explained the new incentives that were just rolled out. I told him if we can compromise on the trade in value I will pick up my new truck. Once I got there he introduced me to Josh. Josh was very attentive and took care of all the small things and did a great job in facilitating the process up to include helping clean out the old truck, lol. Finance was a breeze with an expert like Bobby too. He had come up with a better option on the finance that actually worked out better for me. I was fully instructed by Sierra on the functions of all the little bells and whistles that the truck comes with. This was especially a good deal considering this ole dawg can't even spell IT. She was great with the instruction as well as patient. I was also greeted by Carrie who had insured I was satisfied with not only the purchase of my new Tundra Sport crew max. But was genuinely interested in my whole experience with Olathe Toyota. I've owned 6 Tundra's and in my opinion the staff there really made you feel like you were one of the family. "People buy from people" These associates at Olathe Toyota are "Real People". Thanks guys/gals "
" Great amenities while waiting for regular service! WiFi, snacks, drinks, plenty of comfortable seating and work space and don't forget about the massage chairs! "
" My experience with Michael Williams at Olathe Toyota was nothing shy of amazing! His positive attitude was contagious and made the car buying experience fun and exciting. No one was pushing us to buy a car, it was very pleasant and relaxed. He answered all of our questions and called the next day as a follow up. He went above and beyond to work with us on financing and our trade in. Will definitely be a repeat customer! "
" 2020 4runner Purchased. I didn't have to haggle much to get the price I wanted. Kevin K and Kendall were professional. Customer service oriented and no surprises and no high pressure to buy the warranty. It was a casual experience, friendly and truthful transaction. No stereotypical dealership games. "
" We purchased a car at Olathe Toyota. It was our first time there. Josh Quaney and the team there were all great. I would recommendgiving him a call if you are looking for a new car. "
Take Your Business Somewhere Else.
" What started out as a fantastic experience and customer relationship, turned into a nightmare when I approached the dealer and asked for assistance with utilizing my "lifetime powertrain warranty" to help repair a powertrain issue that happened on my 2015 Toyota Sienna. Unfortunately due to my oil changes being slightly out of sequence (was at 62,000 when I was getting the 60,000 check up), that was grounds for rubber stamping the decline and rejection of my petition for help. Unfortunately after a number of back and forth emails with the service manager asking for assistance, I got the note because "you have serviced with me one time in four years so I really don't consider you a service customer and even if you were I wouldn't pay for something that I didn't create" and that he wasn't interested in helping me to petition (or place a bit more pressure) on the warranty company. Sure I don't do a lot of service with him, but did purchase a $43,000 car from him. But guess that doesn't matter. He went on to say they have no control over this partner or their business practices. They just peddle them as a value-add (which honestly got us to buy from Olathe Toyota vs the competition), but now am totally regretting it and taking my business elsewhere. Hopefully they still might make things right....but am not holding my breath. "
" Worked with Greg on two separate visits. Gave me exceptional options. Left very happy with my new vehicle. "
" Brian E. did a great job letting me go through the process of deciding what I wanted. The 2020 4Runner TRD Off Road is an amazing vehicle. A few weeks later and I have no buyers remorse. I did a lot of research ahead of time, but knew this was the SUV for me when I took it off the lot. Very happy with the level of attention and detail from the entire group at Olathe Toyota. Sales, Customer Service, and Financing have all been great to work with. I bought some vehicles next door in the past, but won't be buying anywhere else again. I'm a very happy 1st time Toyota owner. Thanks for everything! "
" Worked with Bob Tucker on the purchase of a new RAV4. The experience couldn't have been better. He was extremely knowledgeable about the vehicle and was very patient as we looked at several trim levels. Unlike other dealerships we've visited we really felt like we were receiving honest answers to our questions. "
" We went in to buy a vehicle on the last day of the month. We knew the vehicle we wanted to test drive and decided to buy it. The sales man, Leroy, was awesome. He was never pushy and laid out the financing options vs the pay cash options. He also worked with us on our trade in value to get the overall cost to where it worked for us. We are also excited to take the vehicle in for the first 2 years of complimentary maintenance. We will be using Olathe Toyota in the future. "
" Excellent experience in the Service department! Steve and team were friendly and professional and I will definitely be back! "
" Very helpful and salesman "
" Great experience with Carlos. "
" Josh, our salesman, was great. Very patient and helpful. The entire experience was smooth - no pressure. "
" Definitely ask for Mike Mona if you decide to buy from Olathe Toyota. He was extremely knowledgeable and honest. He talked about the things I needed to know and answered all of my questions. He also didn't try to pressure me into a vehicle that did not work for my family. "
" I went into Olathe Toyota after spending several months researching online. I had already decided I wanted a RAV4 with nutmeg interior. Josh greeted me soon after I got out of my car and found a 2019 that matched my description. We went for a test drive and I was ready to talk about the financial details. I had already checked KBB website and new the price I was willing to pay and the payments I had figured into my budget. The price Josh offered me made the payments $10 a month less than I had expected. I highly praise Josh and the others that assisted me in the process. I appreciate the attention and honesty they gave me in answering all my questions. Everything is in writing with no false promises. I had heard high praise from family and friends about Olathe Toyota. Now I have experienced it for myself. "
" I went to Olathe Toyota today after doing several months of research online. I had decided on a RAV4 with navigation and nutmeg interior. I had already checked the fair market price on KBB.com and knew how much I could afford for monthly payments. Josh greeted me shortly after I got out of my car. He found a 2019 model that matched my description. He made me an offer that was slightly less than I had expected. My payments are about $10 a month less than I had budgeted. All the people that assisted with the finance and instructions on the features were totally knowledgeable, honest, and made the best car buying experience I've ever had. Friends and family members had told me about their positive experience and now I've experienced for myself. "

Stress-free guide to the holidays
By Erika, Pure Matters
Only a few days left until Christmas! Time to stress out because the holiday shopping isn't nearly completed, there's not enough time to finish that work project by December 23 without pulling multiple overnighters, and who knows what that dreaded relative will say this year to make you feel less than spirited.
Whether or not you celebrate Christmas, this time of year has the tendency to add stress to our daily lives. The crazy consumerism, family pressures, the general expectation that everyone be happy and joyous, not to mention that one night, I believe it's December 31, when we're all supposed to have amazing plans lined up, along with a hot new outfit (that we'll never wear again) ready so that we can experience the most awesome, mind-blowing night of the year.
Stop. Take a deep breath.
This year you don't have to stress out. Decide to change the pattern and give yourself some much-deserved slack. Here are some tips on how to let go, relax, and enjoy this time of year.
Lower Unrealistic Expectations
Okay, so you might not be able to buy everyone in your family expensive gifts and you probably don't have time to knit them all scarves. Sit down and make a realistic list of the remaining people you want to buy presents for and set aside some time on your calendar to shop, whether online or braving the stores. You still have a little time to purchase presents online -- Amazon.com has a very helpful list of Holiday Ordering Cutoff dates. Remember that your friends and family will love you no matter how much you spend on them. Maxing out your credit cards is not necessary and will only add to your stress level.
Stay Positive
Don't play the "what-if" game when it comes to possible holiday disasters. Thinking about potentially negative scenarios that could happen is a waste of your time and energy. Focus on being positive. When that grouchy relative makes a nasty comment about how many gingerbread cookies you've had, just smile, take a deep breath, and breathe out the negative thoughts. Reacting defensively only adds to your stress. Shift your outlook.
Keep Up Your Healthy Habits
When life feels overwhelming, many of us fall into unhealthy habits. Don't skip your regular spinning class to work through lunch. Taking a break to do something positive for yourself will have a big impact on your outlook and will actually make you more productive during working hours. It's also easy to fall back on fast food when we don't have time to cook. It's okay to indulge a bit, but try to stick with healthy choices overall. You'll be less likely to catch a cold or the flu, and if your body feels better, your mind will too.
Keep taking your multivitamin supplements to ensure that your body is getting all the nutrients it requires.

Although PHP and Ruby on Rails are used for similar purposes, their online reputations are miles apart. Ruby is often referred to as a beautiful language, while PHP is sometimes dismissed as a haven for bad code or as a language for beginners. While there is some truth in all these observations, a casual job search still shows more open jobs for PHP developers than Rails developers, and many of the largest sites on the Internet use PHP (at least partially) as their back-end.
PHP isn't going away anytime soon, and the best way to help patch its spotty reputation is to encourage quality code and proper practices. As a self-defined PHP developer who has dabbled in Rails for a few projects, here are some things I think PHP developers (especially those still in the process of learning PHP) can crib from Rails.
In Rails, there is almost always an established "correct" way to do something. From naming your models and controllers to form validation, Rails developers tend to have a set of best practices and stick to them. They often refer to these practices as "The Rails Way." Following "The Rails Way" is not required, but doing so makes code easier to read, and offers the developer a lot of default behavior they can work with. A Rails developer who is trying something for the first time can often "guess" the right way to do it because the conventions of Rails are logical and easy to follow.
In PHP, convention is much more difficult. Even some built-in PHP functions don't follow convention. There have been attempts to define standards for PHP, including the PSR style recommendations. You can choose to follow one of these standards, but at the very least, you need to make sure your own code is consistent. Decide how you want to format your files. Figure out how you are going to connect to the database and do it the same way every time. Even better, get together with your coworkers and make some decisions. Two hours spent drafting a "best practices" document for your company will save countless hours down the road.
Cohesive Web App
A Rails project is more than just files full of code. A Rails project can include many parts, including a connection to a repository, the database, data migrations, and information for development, testing, and production servers. These pieces are part of the full app and should all be considered as important as the code itself.
Many PHP programmers began in the simplest of ways. They learned by creating files full of code and copying them to a server. Far too often, this generated that work great now, but have not been prepared for the future. As requirements change, new pieces are bolted onto the project, resulting in spaghetti code, one-off pieces, and other development headaches. The best way to combat such a situation is to take a page from Rails and plan ahead. Think about each section of the project ahead of time. Make a plan, rather than just settling for code that works.
Code Reuse
All developers reuse code. Whether they are just copying and pasting from other files, searching online for code snippets, or creating classes that can be shared between projects, we all do it. Ruby on Rails takes code reuse a step further with the gem system. Gems are packages of Ruby code specifically designed to be shared with any Ruby project. Even Rails itself is technically a gem. Gems are made to be shared, to work universally. They are versioned, so that you can be sure of exactly how a certain version of a gem will function.
PHP doesn't have gems, obviously, but there are options. You could create your own set of loosely coupled, self-contained classes and use them in your projects. But why only reuse your own code, when you can reuse well-tested code from others? There are package and dependency managers for PHP that let you do just that Composer is a PHP dependency manager that allows you to include thousands of tested and packaged code snippets in your project. It keeps track of which packages depend on other packages and makes sure you always have the proper versions of the code you need. You'll never have to rewrite a database interface again.
Every time a new Rails application is created, folders for testing code are created as well. Every time you generate a new set of CRUD functionality, basic code for unit tests is also created. In Rails, testing is just part of what you do. You can ignore it if you want, but Rails is set up to make it easy to keep your tests up to date. This is part of taking the long-term view. The better your tests are, the less likely it is that bugs sneak through your testing process.
PHP has many options for testing, but since they aren't built into PHP the same way that tests are built into Rails, not everyone uses them. One option is PHPUnit, which allows you to create unit tests to ensure code isn't broken as changes are made. It can be combined with a functional testing tool like Selenium, which automates functional tests, attempting to test the application in the same ways that a user would. Testing is often overlooked as busy developers try to churn out features and fixes as quickly as possible. It takes dedication and commitment to follow Rails' lead and ensure that testing is made a priority instead of listed as something that will get done "when we have some extra time."
Namespaces are a way to keep code from colliding with other code. Especially if you are going to be using a lot of other people's code, utilizing namespaces helps keep any other code from interfering with your own. In Rails, namespaces are often used to keep different sections of an application separate. For example, an app might have an administration section, a client section, and a public section. Namespaces can help differentiate these sections of the site. You may want different code to be run when an Admin logs in, as opposed to when a client logs in, and namespaces can distinguish these separate login functions.
In PHP, namespaces seem appear to be pretty new. They were introduced in PHP 5.3, and the current version is only PHP 5.5. That said, PHP 5.3 was released more than four years ago! This is certainly a feature that PHP developers should be using at this point, especially when planning large projects or projects that will be using extensive third-party code.
As I mentioned, Rails is a framework that sits on top of the programming language Ruby. This is the best and most important lesson that Rails can teach PHP programmers: Use a framework. On any project that is large enough to be planned ahead of time, the idea of using a framework should be explored. Many of the best PHP frameworks incorporate all of the suggestions listed here.
Modern PHP frameworks run the gamut from full-stack frameworks that insist you to follow all their code practices, to minimalist frameworks that are nothing more than a few files enabling MVC, routing, and database connectivity. Find the best framework for you and your project. A quick Google search will show plenty of articles proffering which framework is perfect for your next project.
I once had a coworker who hand-coded every line of his projects. He refused to use anyone else's code. Although he knew the code for his project inside and out, his productivity was seriously hindered by this restriction. Instead of following his path, I recommend you trust your fellow developers. There are a lot of talented and smart people writing PHP code, and despite what some may say, PHP is not dead or going away anytime soon so program accordingly. Ten years from now, when a brand new developer is trying to debug your code, he will thank you.

Strawberry Guavas: The Antithesis to Christmas Cookies
(Strawberry Guavas)
What is the complete opposite of Christmas cookies? I just did some research; turns out that the complete opposite of a Christmas cookie is a strawberry guava. The Cherimoya comes in a close second, so it's getting its own post in a couple of days.
It's no wonder this sexy fruit is native to Brazil, the land of beautiful bronzed bodies and gorgeous beaches. Everything about a strawberry guava says, "look at me."
Eating a strawberry guava is a memorable sensory experience. First it entices you with its intoxicating perfume of ripe summer strawberries and tart pink grapefruit. Its butter cup yellow rind is smooth and soft to the touch, evoking warmth and sunshine. One bite of a strawberry guava will make you understand why it's called "exotic." The creamy, fruity flesh is the color of roses, while the flavor is a beautiful combination of tangy, sweet grapefruit, juicy, ripe strawberries, and late summer grapes.
Most U.S. guavas are grown in Hawaii and Florida, though the strawberry guavas you see here were grown in Southern California and generously given to me by our friend, Adel. These strawberry guavas have a pastel yellow skin yet also come in bright red or deep purple. When buying strawberry guavas or any variety of guava really, look for a fragrant fruit that is free of blemishes and soft to the touch. Hold it in your hand, and give it a gentle squeeze; it should give slightly, being neither too hard nor too squishy.
If it's unripe and hard, then place the guava in a paper bag with a yellow banana. The banana will produce ethylene, which will speed up the ripening process. Keep unripened guavas at room temperature. Though fully ripened guavas can be refrigerated for several days, they are best eaten sooner and fresher. Also note that the entire fruit is edible, from the rind to the flesh to the small white seeds.
You're probably wondering, "Where can I buy strawberry guavas?" Given their status as "exotic" fruit, strawberry guavas, along with most guava varieties, can be difficult to find. Your best bet is try a high-end organic store such as Whole Foods or the online site Melissas.com. Or take a vacation to San Diego, where they can currently be found at our farmers' markets. (Plus, if you do it before January 1st, you can use it as a write-off on your taxes from all your blogging money. Hahahahhaha.)
Though most guavas are eaten simply out-of-hand, they can be made into jams and sauces, or blended into drinks. I have done none of them. In fact there is no recipe today. Just luscious strawberry guavas. Because after posting 228 Christmas cookies, this is truly the anti-Christmas cookie post.

OMG!! these are my childhood fruits, Susan. I used to climb the guavas trees. And that cherimoyas... it reminds me of Immelda, my friend who used to be good to me. She used to give me this fruit during Christmas time when it was fully grown and fruits are in abundance. Pity I can't find them in NZ.

Susan, I am not sure why the guavas are the atntithesis (??) Christmas cookies (is it something bad??) but thanks for showcasing guavas, they are really amazing, one of my favourite fruits. In Brazil we actually have 2 types, the other one is white inside, both are delicious.The pink one, showed in your post makes an excellent juice.

Oboy! We have those growing everywhere on my grandmother's farm... Drank tea using its leaves, ate the fruit... So not entirely un-Christmasy for us, lol :) Been ages since I had the jam, though, probably not since I was a kid!

Your guavas are beautiful! Up here in the north we have what we call pineapple guavas and they have a green skin and are more oblong in shape than the ones you show. They are delicious and exactly perfumed as you describe. All leaving me to wonder just what is the kind that we eat as compared to yours. I'll have to do some sleuthing. :)

Strawberry guava sounds good, but so is a good Christmas cookie...a nice crunchy biscotto to be exact, dipped in a cup of strong espresso laced with good grappa or gran gala!

What a lovely treat! Growing up, we had a guava tree in our back yard. Tres exotic, let me tell you! The outsides were pretty boring, but open them up and the beauty was revealed. Your strawberry guavas have the added bonus of beauty on the inside and outside. Lovely.

I don't know if these are the same ... but I do remember my grandfather getting strawberry-flesh colored guavas when I was growing, and many after-school days spent eating them with a generous touch of salt and chili powder! Your wonderful post has me longing for them now :)

This would be perfect for post holiday detox. Of course, I doubt that I'll ever find this in the midwest so no luck for me.

Both these fruits are very common here in India.
I have seen 3 varieties of Guava here. Ones like those in your pictures, then yellow on the outside but white inside and green on the outside but pink inside.
These fruits are very good for diabetics as are the leaves of the tree.
The name Cherimoya is new to me but not that fruit. Also common here, we call them Custard Apples. And they are absolutely creamy, sweet and delicious. :)

I grew up with strawberry guavas in SOuth Africa - they seemed to grow on trees in every second friend's garden! The irony is that I used to love eating them but sometime at school I stopped liking the taste and never really changed my mind again. One of my mom's favourite stories about me is how I grew up speaking Afrikaans and calling these fruit by their Afrikaans name - koejawel. One day my half-sister was visiting and when I asked what was in the bag she'd brought, she said "guavas". I bit into one and said "Hey, this guava tastes just like a koejawel" and brought the house down.

You're right: that cherimoya is a seductress!

Just thought you should know that is not a strawberry guava. That is a regular guava. I live in Hawai'i and strawberry guava is a small red fruit which is highly invasive.Look it up on google images.

"Starring Irene Dunne as Susan�and Fred MacMurray as George�together in a gay new exciting comedy adventure�Bright Star!"
Bright Star chronicles the happenings at the offices of The Hillsdale Morning Star, a small town newspaper owned and edited by Susan Armstrong. Played by Irene Dunne as a no-nonsense professional, Susan nevertheless has a sweet spot for her star reporter. George Harvey, played by Fred MacMurray as an energetic and competitive journalist, challenges, bothers and bewilders his boss at every turn.
Personal chemistry charges the plotlines, with MacMurray and Dunne bouncing off each other like a role-reversed Tracy and Hepburn. Susan's sardonic housekeeper, played by veteran character comedienne Elvia Allman, adds further snap to the proceedings. And, together, these charming characters make headlines!

Enhance your living and working environment by getting your ducts thoroughly cleaned by Sam's Duct Cleaning West Gosford. We deliver quality duct cleaning services at the most affordable prices in West Gosford.
Residential and commercial ducts are a store house of allergens, pollens, bacteria, and all sorts of contaminants. When dust gets accrued in the ductwork or inside the duct, it attracts all kinds of pollutants. These pollutants then enter your living area through the ducts. Moreover, it has been found that such a situation can lead to sever blockage further causing even fires in the ducts. So it is mandatory to keep a check on your ducts – whether at home or office to be safe, secure, and healthy.
Sam's Ducted heating and cooling Cleaning West Gosford is a 20 year old company dealing in exceptional duct cleaning and other cleaning services. Our affordable and quality services are our USPs and what we are known for!
Our Duct Cleaning Process
Duct cleaning requires proper knowledge, enough experience, and appropriate license and certifications to achieve desired results. We at Sam's Duct Cleaning West Gosford train our cleaners in such a way that they are able to leave all our customers absolutely satisfied with our flawless duct cleaning service. The process that we follow here is explained below:
- Inspection – We begin duct cleaning by simply doing a full inspection of the duct. Whether it is a residential duct or a commercial one, proper inspection is required to know what all needs to be done. If any repair or part replacement is needed then we will let you know at this point only.
- Cleaning the Ducts – Once we are done with the inspection, we start the cleaning process for the ducts. For this, we use eco-friendly cleaning solutions that do magic with your ducts. Our cleaning solutions are designed not just to remove the dust but also the contaminants, bacteria, and allergens from the ducts. We take out every part of the duct such as filters, vent grills, motor fans, air grill, and heating fan to clean the separately. Once done, all parts are fixed back.
- Duct Sanitization – It is essential to understand that duct cleaning is incomplete without duct sanitization and at Sam's Dic Cleaning West Gosford we never leave our job incomplete. The sanitizing completes the process.
- Re-Inspection – Finally, a re-inspection is done to check if anything else needs to be done and if the duct is completely clean.
This is our complete duct cleaning process. Our cleaners also check for any faults in the duct parts and animal intrusion, if any and work accordingly in any such case.
Why Ducts Require Professional Cleaning
If you don't know why your ducts require professional cleaning then read the following EPA guidelines that explain just exactly when the ducts need to be cleaned by experts:
- If you have not got your ducts cleaned professionally for a long time.
- If there has been an animal intrusion.
- If air flow has reduced.
- If you feel dust particles are coming along with the air through ducts.
- If your power bills have increased suddenly.
- If there is mold growth in your ducts.
Additionally, the ducts must also be checked for any kind of leakages such as carbon monoxide. This gas is called a silent killer and could be very dangerous for human beings. We do provide carbon monoxide testing as well at Sam's Central Duct Cleaning West Gosford.

Sunday News Round-Up, Level 88 Edition
Yeah, so a chunk of the time I'd otherwise spend reading and blogging has been taken up by the new World of Warcraft expansion. There's nothing amazing about it, but there have been little things I have really enjoyed, and I'm learning to play better by making better use of abilities I've had all along. So, this will be a short one, because I'm *way* behind on chores.
Some things of interest when I've poked my head up:
- The CDC has a new page up to be a hub for information on the fungal meningitis outbreak. It includes information for clinicians on diagnostic procedures, interim treatment options, case definitions, and specimen submission. Because early cases came to light in middle Tennessee, there is a lot of coverage happening in the local Nashville media.
- Bitch magazine points to a hilarious-in-that-sad-but-true-way edition of The Stranger that makes apparent the objectification and stereotypes experienced by women in music by treating men the same way. If you think, "that was an absurd question to ask him," well, that's the point.
- This is something that has been interesting to ponder this week, via the blogger at Crates and Ribbons. Many if not most Americans have at some point seen this famous photo of a sailor kissing a nurse in a white uniform on VJ Day. Go look at it, to refresh your memory. The usual reading of that photo seems to be, "Oh, how romantic! We win! Young love! Victory!" It has read to us over time as a spontaneous romantic moment, one to feel warm fuzzies about.
It has now apparently been confirmed who the individuals were in the "kissing sailor" photo, allowing them to be interviewed about the circumstances. And those were that the two were strangers, the man was drunk, and he just grabbed the nurse and planted one on her. The woman in the photo has been quoted as saying, "That man was very strong. I wasn't kissing him. He was kissing me."
Knowing that, I start to see things in the photo that I never saw before – this stiffness of her arm, the posture of the kiss, they way his arm is locked around the back of her neck in a controlling, rather than caressing, way. Suddenly I don't feel romantic joy, I put myself in her position of being off-balance and physically controlled by someone bigger, stronger, fueled by booze. That's a completely different scenario, and it permanently modifies my experience of the photo.
It causes the Crates and Ribbons author to ask how rape culture contributes to the glossing over of the problematic nature of the popular read of the photo, in light of the new knowledge.
To be clear: the author is *not* making an argument for judging a 1945 action by 2012 standards. The author is noting that *in covering the photo, in 2012, with new information,* journalists in 2012 don't seem to confront the problematic aspects of the story by asking how our perspectives on iconic photo now might change as a result of the changed context.
The author addresses some of the frequent responses, like "How can you judge him using modern values?" in the post, The Kissing Sailor, Part 2 – Debunking Misconceptions. It's interesting stuff to ponder, and I think discussing what is seen in the photo with the changing context would be a good discussion exercise on sociology, gender, consent, or media literacy.
- I think there's a real conversation to be had about the problematic approach and language around the UTK "butt-chugging" case. On Facebook, I expressed my disdain for the kid's lawyer's statement, primarily that he felt the need to call "not gay!" on the kid, and that the media keeps grilling the kid on camera about what happened, when what happened might actually be sexual assault in a culture that would punish him for disclosure. Aunt B continues the conversation here, and in her comments.
- If you didn't see it already, this SNL video, g.o.b. tampons, is pretty funny. "That's why I choose the one brand of tampons created by the people who know my body best – the gentlemen of the Republican party."
- Over at Our Bodies Our Blog, I have posts on upcoming webinars on the intersection of reproductive justice with environmental justice and first amendment rights, nonconsensual pelvic exams under anesthesia, and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act introduced in the Senate.

My first time reading your blog, a link from Crates & Ribbons. Nice work summarizing The Kissing Sailor.
