If you are a fan of Thai food, chances are that you have eaten a variety of dishes with lemongrass in it. Lemongrass can not only be used in food but it is popular in aromatherapy, the benefits of lemongrass essential oil are numerous plus you get the added advantage of a great fragrance too, Lemongrass smells just like Lemon, but it is more mild and sweet.
Lemongrass essential oil is extracted by steam distillation of dried Lemongrass.
At Bai Pho we use Lemongrass in aromatherapy because it is calming and revitalising, creating a sense of emotional well-being, an important attribute to have in this fast-paced world.
The light citrusy scent is a great relaxing agent and acts as a type of tranquilizer tamping down on stress, anxiety and even depression. A massage using lemongrass essential oil can be very therapeutic and calming for a tired body with aching muscles
Among the many benefits of Lemongrass essential oil are those that treat the skin. Because it has great astringent properties, Lemongrass oil helps clear up excessive oily skin which can cause acne outbreaks. Lemongrass is also effective as a skin toner because it naturally dilates the blood vessels, tightening pores and wrinkles.

Nub Habano 460 cigars are flavor-studded Nicaraguan shorties, brimming with potent flavor in such a compact size - a mere 4 long. But don't let the size fool you...the big RG allows for a nearly hour-long smoke, with the richness of fine Oliva cigar tobacco on full display. Grab your box today!
This is a great cigar. Full, rich smooth flavor from nearly the beginning to the end. I end up nearly burning my fingers on these just to get every bit.
Great aroma and taste all the way through. I was skeptical like others about the "short" nature of this cigar, but it burned for around an hour, and I was pleasantly surprised at how consistent the flavor was. Far better than Nub's Connecticut offerings. Will definitely buy again!
This is a home run. Is it gimmicky? Sure, but they nailed it, perfect for times when you don't have a couple of hours to enjoy a good long smoke. Lasted for about 45 min,because I couldn't put it down. Most times more like an hour. Flavor was spicy up front, but almost immediately, mellowed into a complex, nutty, creamy goodness. Construction was good, ashed right up to the band, I'll have a few of these on hand at all times, for the right occasions.
Great Cuban taste: deep, rich, and smooth. Easy draw. The burn is not very good. Typically some channeling and relighting. Still, with such a good taste, it is worth the effort.

It is easy to say, "Be happy." To say, "Be confident." To say, "There's nothing to fear but fear itself." And it is relatively easy to be all of those things when life is going smoothly. It's when we face the challenging times that we have to look in the mirror … and walk that walk. One day at a time. Sometimes we'll stumble or get lost. But keep on going. What helps me through it?
MUSIC. It can always brighten my mood. Love these music icon masks. Can't say I would actually wear one, but some of you crazies might.
FRIENDS. Spending time with positive people is amazing. Uplifting. No need to say any more. I LOVE this site and all of their art prints.
EXERCISE. OK, Don't hate! Get out and do something. I prefer weight training. NO cardio these days. I have learned after 20 years (WTF!) that weight training is most important. And makes the most difference, for me at least. Never leave home without this sound investment of lulu lemon wunder under pants, girls.
GRATITUDE and AFFIRMATIONS. Write and read them daily. They are little pops of sunshine on a cloudy day. And a way to reprogram the brain in a good way. Not like Body Snatchers or anything.

A word from our clients...
Our view on the importance of having an online presence
Creating an online presence for your business is more than setting up a website with your company's address and phone number. The website should preferably contain a summarized description of the services/products your business is selling, with a welcoming, informative message. It is also important to
These days, more people search online for the products and services they need as opposed to searching through yellow pages. Ignoring this extremely necessary marketing platform is the same as saying, "I don't need any new business."
As the Internet never sleeps, every online option offered to your customers extends your business opening hours and reach. Having an online presence also allows customers to research your products or services in the privacy of their own home or far away from your office location.
Some might consider reviews a double-edged sword – as you are exposing yourself to negative reviews, whether they are fair or not.
If you are running your business honestly, and are always striving for exceptional customer service, these should be isolated incidents. They will be easily outnumbered by positive reviews left by happy, satisfied clients.
Potential clients will be checking reviews of your company, so make a point of asking your delighted customers to leave you a review on Yelp or Google Places and Facebook. It is also very important to remember a recommendation/review from a friend always has a higher value than an advert to a customer.

Features | Written by Andrew Pollard 16/06/2014
Interview: Danielle Lilley | BLOOD WIDOW
The horror genre is one that is full of iconic killers and scream queens. So often dominated by large, unrelenting, hulking males in the Michael, Jason and Freddy mould, the independent Blood Widow looks to introduce a sleek, clinical female killer. And for every good killer, there comes a slew of potential victims. This is where Danielle Lilley comes into frame, playing the heroine in Jeremiah Buckhalt's film. We managed to get some time to chat will Lilley about this female-driven horror with a stylish psycho at its core.
Starburst: First up, for those unaware of the film, how would you describe Blood Widow?
Danielle Lilley: Well the film's very interesting. I'd kind of describe it as Friday the 13th meets A Nightmare on Elm Street. They really took the film back to the old cult classic, slasher-type. I found that really intrusting, and everyone's really resonating with it very well.
How did you end up involved in the project?
I had just come home from L.A. and I really needed to strengthen my reel. So I went over to Orlando and auditioned for some films over there. While I was auditioning, I noticed this little posting on the wall that was a casting notice for Blood Widow. So I went in, signed up, read, and here I am.
Did you know any of the guys beforehand then?
That was the first time I met them. It was one of those situations where I was in the right place at the right time.
Your character, Laurie, is the heroine in this. Were there any particular "scream queens" that you did any background work on or drew inspiration from, like a Jamie Lee Curtis, a Neve Campbell, a Heather Langenkamp?
I always try and take my characters, try and develop them and make them a piece of me. I like to develop them on my own; I don't really like to compare them to other scream queens. I wanted to be different. That's something I always do when I'm developing a character; how can I make them different from other characters in the past. I really try to focus on that when I'm studying for a role or working on some character development.
Your character does a lot of research on the Blood Widow throughout the film, although she never truly finds out the full story. Do you think she gets a fair pay-off in the film?
I think that my character definitely takes some time to do some investigating; to really get inside of Blood Widow, understand where she's coming from and why she's doing all of this. You see that throughout the film, various points where I resonate with her and really kind of understand her from a different level than the other characters do. From my character's perspective, I really get to relate to her from a woman to a woman, seeing the abuse that she was put through. From Blood Widow's perspective, I think I remind her of someone from her past. So, throughout the film, you see that relationship.
Is there any part of you that wished you were playing the Blood Widow role or are you happy to have your face on show, putting yourself out there?
I really like to be able to put myself out there and to have that character development. Blood Widow was never something that I was necessarily interested in. I was very happy playing Laurie.
A lot of actresses that play the heroine roles often become typecast in that type of role. Is that something that you were weary of or was this film just about broadening your horizons?
I don't think necessarily working on horror films is a bad thing. I think it's a matter of working on the right one; the one that has character development. You really need something to work with. I really felt that with Laurie and Blood Widow when I was reading the script. They wanted to work on the audience building a relationship with Laurie, to be able to relate to her. When you're watching the film, you feel the pain that she's going through, the struggle. And that's good.
Did you have any say in the development of the character or the script?
That's the great thing about working on indie films. I think there's always room for that discussion to be had. There's probably some loose ties in the script that give you a little bit of room to play with, and that was definitely the case with Laurie. Jeremiah, the director, and I had those discussions several times. I think that it worked great and in the end it was a good thing.
You touched on it then, but the film is obviously a low-budget, small crew movie. How hands-on was everybody on the movie and was it a team effort?
With any indie films, you're doing a little bit more than necessarily on a bigger production. Even though it was a low-budget film, as an actor on the film, I felt that they were treating me fantastic; they really just wanted me to come in and do my job. I always tried to lend a hand here and there when needed, but they never really wanted me to. They wanted me there to play Laurie. I thought that that was really nice and a breath of fresh air. They really felt that it was important for me to just focus on my character.
For the first half of the film, Laurie shares a lot of screen time with partner Hugh (Brandon Kyle Peters) before she ends up becoming the focal point of the second half of the movie. How did you feel about being painted as the lone survivor?
I thought it was great; I thought it was a nice little trick. When you're watching Laurie, watching the characters develop, you realise that she really relies on Hugh and really wants him to be a man. Then the chaos begins and when we get introduced to Blood Widow my character becomes very strong and assertive and really just takes hold of everything. It's like, "No, no, no. I'm not going to let this happen." I loved it. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
It's safe to say, your character is the sensible one throughout the film. How close to the real you is that?
I think I'm a little bit of both. I'm definitely fun, but when things have to be serious you gotta be serious. There's always a good time to have fun.
You mentioned earlier on that this movie is like a hark back to the classic slashers of the '80s. That's a sub-genre that's dominated by big, burly, male serial killers. Do you think that Blood Widow is a nice change of pace to that and works as a nice reintroduction to slasher movies?
I think it's awesome! Like you said, the past slasher films were masked killers that were all male. I think having the killer female makes it different. She has this delicacy to her that takes a different spin on everything. I think it's definitely intriguing and our fans are really liking it. We're getting great feedback on her being a female.
Now your character may or may not make it (no spoilers here), but do you see Blood Widow being the start of a series of films?
Well I think it was always in the back of their minds, the possibility to do a sequel. I think if the opportunity was to present itself then they would be on it. I guess there's already plans in place. I think it's just a matter of seeing how well Blood Widow does first time around. When I was hired on, I didn't know that it was going to turn into a sequel. I just knew that it was an indie, but working on these films then you never know.
If there was a way for your character to come back for a sequel, would that be something that you'd be interested in?
Absolutely! I would love to come back if I could come back. I've already discussed that with Jeremiah, and now it's just a matter of waiting and see.
For yourself in the future, what's lined up for you at the moment?
I'm currently not signed on to do any projects at the moment. I'm really just working on auditioning, being picky and choosey about the next role that I do. I think it's always important to take a step in the right direction when you're looking at your next film.
Blood Widow is currently awaiting a UK release date, but the film is now available on VOD internationally as well as on DVD in the US. To keep up to date with Danielle Lilley, be sure to follow her on Twitter, and be sure to check out our Blood Widow review at a later date.

Dubrovnik and the Elaphite Islands - Andrew - 2001
Before the bloody breakup of the former Yugoslavia the resorts of its Adriatic coast attracted as many visitors as Greece or Spain. When Yugoslavia splintered the vast majority of the coastline, including the historic cities of Split and Dubrovnik, fell into the new Republic of Croatia (Hrvatska). Included with this coastline were the Dalmatian Islands - all 1185 of them (66 inhabited).
Croatia has one of the oddest shapes of all countries with the long thin coastal strip and a wider inland chunk, giving it an overall angular sickle shape. In this inland section sits the under-rated capital city, Zagreb.
As the shadow of war leaves the Balkans and the EU beckons Croatia is regaining its position as one of Europe's premier destinations.
I had had my eye on Croatia as a holiday destination for some time, so I was quite excited when I finally boarded the Croatia Airlines flight to Dubrovnik. The flight was one of those delightful ones when you get to see the places you are travelling over, including some beautiful views of the Alps. As we started to fly down the Dalmatian coast the sun began to disappear and the many islands of the Croatian coast slowly vanished into the darkness. When we touched down in Dubrovnik Airport the mountains to the north of the runway were haloed by a dramatic purple and red sky.
As I was travelling, for a change, as a packaged customer I climbed aboard a bus to take me to my hotel, which was probably no bad thing as Dubrovnik Airport is some long way from Dubrovnik town (22 kms in fact) and my accommodation was not in central Dubrovnik anyhow, but in the suburb of Lapad Bay (where most of the reasonably priced hotels are). The road from the Airport approaches Dubrovnik via the road which runs high above the town and gives some wonderful views of the Old Town and it's famous walls which I saw for the first time glimmeringly floodlit against the black waters of the Adriatic.
The coach wound around the roads of Dubrovnik dropping off the people at the poshest hotels first before heading out to the Port where a number of people climbed aboard the ferry to the island of Koločep where they were staying. Eventually it was my time and I was dropped off at the top of the pedestrian road leading down to my hotel, the Zagreb. I was hungry and absolutely dying of thirst, but had no Croatian money, so I had to make do with some lukewarm tap water. I hoped this wasn't going to be a bad sign.
The next day I woke to a not very special breakfast and decided to head straight into Dubrovnik town. The bus stop it turned out was at the end of the street, but I misunderstood what my Rep. had said and went off looking for the bus station - which wasn't quite so close by. I had already booked with him my trips to Mostar and Međugorje in Bosnia and Hercegovina and Montenegro for later in the week.
The bus journey wasn't very long and it drew up outside the Pile Gate (pronounced "Peelay" rather than "Pile"). I had been impressed by the views I had had of the town walls from the coach last night, but now I could look at them more closely and at leisure I began to realise that this was nothing like the town walls of York or Chester in England, these were massive, towering, chunky and quite quite astonishing. You expect the "fortresses" set into the walls to be bastions or small towers, but they are huge great things in their own right. The other thing which comes as a shock is how steep the walls are. Part of Dubrovnik was once an island, so the central section of the walls is considerably lower than the seaward and landward sides.
I had been advised to avoid the walk around the walls at midday (and it was now 11:00), so I headed instead for the town inside the walls.
Almost everyone arriving in the old town will start at the Pile Gate, this is where all the buses stop. Inevitably then it is always crowded and bustling with a jumble of souvenir stalls just outside it. Once inside the small outer gate you come into a barbican-like area before walking down some steps and underneath the walls proper. Through another gate and you're into the old town. You are immediately presented with one of the classic views of the City, straight down Stradun - the main thoroughfare which was once a water channel separating the island part of the City (known as Ragusa) from the other part. Stradun runs right through the centre of Dubrovnik from the Pile Gate directly to the Luža Square at the other end of town. Stradun positively glows in the sunlight of the middle of the day, the white limestone surface polished from centuries of feet. There is a symmetry to Stradun, at the Pile end is the tower of the Franciscan Monastery, at the other the Bell Tower, the buildings on either side of Stradun were built simultaneously after a disastrous earthquake in 1667.
At the Pile Gate end is a small square which is dominated by the massive domed bulk of Onofrio's Large Fountain. Onofrio was Italian architect Onofrio de la Cava who built this fountain in 1444, his Little Fountain is on Luža Square at the other end of Stradun and is an altogether subtler more fountain-like edifice than this massive object. In the heat of the midday sun, however, Onofrio's Large Fountain was a wonderful thing, aside from generally splashing the cool water on my face I soaked my baseball cap (an addition to my travel kit due to my vanishing hair) and placed it's moist cloth onto my head. By the time I was halfway down Stradun the water had all evaporated.
Stradun is lined with shops and restaurants selling tourist stuff and cheap meals, but not in a tacky way as could be, no displays of junk cluttered the street to spoil the look of this most elegant of thoroughfares. At the far end of Stradun is what the guidebooks call Dubrovnik's "main square", Luža Square, which is actually rather small and hemmed in on three sides by some of Dubrovnik's heftier buildings, the Sponza Palace, the Bell Tower entrance to the Old Port and the glorious baroque St. Blaise's Church. The Church was completed in 1714 and it's elegant frontage is one of the great images of this town of wonderful vistas, particularly when lit from inside at night.
The Sponza Palace dates to 1522 and today houses temporary exhibitions throughout the year, it's arcaded front is typical of the quasi-Venetian style that is prevalent throughout Dubrovnik, ironically considering the Dubrovnik Republic (known as the Ragusan State after the island part of the town) was for centuries the chief rival to the Venetians in the area. Around the corner of St. Blaise's Church at the end of Luža Square is Dubrovnik's Cathedral, a far less spectacular baroque structure than St. Blaise's, which was completed in 1731.
In the centre of Luža Square is a tiny column known as Orlando's Column, which was once a focal point for local ceremonies despite it's distinctly unimpressive appearance. Standing by the Column were a man and a beautiful woman dressed in medieval clothes selling seed for the pigeons, rolled up in the text of "Roland's Last Message". Always a mug for a beautiful woman selling me stuff I bought some seed, but was rewarded by a photograph with the colourfully dressed pair and a bunch of grateful pigeons.
I didn't walk straight up to the Cathedral, but rather ducked into one of the maze of side alleys leading towards the sea from Stradun. Accidentally I happened upon the flight of steps modelled, apparently, on the Spanish Steps in Rome which lead up to Pustijerna, the oldest part of Dubrovnik situated on what was once Ragusa Island. Most of the buildings here pre-date the 1667 earthquake and are a serious of winding, twisting tiny alleyways full of ancient tumbledown buildings and skinny cats.
At the top of the steps is the Jesuit Church, also based on a Roman template (the Church of Gesù). From here pathways lead into the oldest part of Dubrovnik and you are confronted with arched alleyways and flights of steps disappearing off into all directions. If the area was larger it might be intimidating and hard to navigate, but as it is really quite a small area and has occasional views down into the centre of town never allows you to become truly lost. Eventually you will stumble back onto a landmark, the Pile Gate or Stradun, or in my case the Cathedral, this time from the opposite end.
Dubrovnik's Cathedral is rather enclosed and the best views of it can be had from the town walls rather than at ground level. Architecturally speaking it isn't a patch on St. Blaise's Church, but inside is an elegant structure of white plaster work and hefty carvings.
I stopped to eat around the back of the Cathedral, a reasonably priced fish meal made up of "grilled fish" of a kind I didn't recognise and never did find out the species of, plus the usual collection of vegetables, including something green that vaguely resembled a bulky spinach but didn't have that familiar battery taste so could have been anything.
Suitably fed and watered my next step had to be upwards. It was time to do the town walls.
I started my tour of the walls at St. John's Fortress - almost directly opposite the Pile Gate. You are charged to walk around the town walls which initially seems a bit of a cheek, but once you start the long walk around (2 kms approximately) you realise that the asking price (9 kuna) is not much at all.
St. John's Fortress operates as the Naval Museum and houses a rather drab aquarium, but offers some beautiful views across the Old Port to the Revelin Fortress, a much bulkier and more impressive stronghold, but one which isn't open to the public.
Rather than walk towards the town, so to speak, I decided to head around the seaward side of the walls first, this provided some superb views of the little island of Lokrum off shore which is a nature reserve and I would visit a few days later.
From St. John's Fortress, a relative low point, the walls climb across the rocky foreshore and reach a high point on this side directly opposite the towering Minčeta Fortress which is the highest point of the whole walls and dominates from almost anywhere you care to stand.
Excellent views can be had from the seaward side of the walls across the scattered terracotta roofs of the Old Town and over to Lovrijenac Fortress on it's rock separate from the rest of the fortifications. Some of those terracotta roofs were blown out during the shelling of Dubrovnik in 1991/1992, but the only obvious indication of this is that some look much darker and cleaner than others. Considering that over 2000 shells fell on Dubrovnik it is virtually impossible to find any war damage today.
As you turn the corner in the seaward side of the walls you are suddenly looking down a steep slope towards the circular Bokar Fortress which sits across a small bay from Lovrijenac. You watch the people slogging up from the Pile Gate far below and think "Thank God I came around this way" (anti-clockwise). Then you look up at Minčeta and realise that it's steeper and that is the direction you are now headed.
As you pass over the Pile Gate you get wonderful views of the Big Onofrio's Fountain and Stradun below you, not to mention a dizzying view up towards Minčeta.
It was indeed a hard slog up to the Minčeta Fortress, the last part of which was the climb up the inside of the Tower itself, but it was certainly worth it for the magnificent view out across the town. From here you can see all the landmarks of Dubrovnik, Lokrum behind and up and down the mountainous coast.
It was here that I met an Australian couple who had worked their way down through Eastern Europe starting in Berlin, through Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary and were heading for Greece. We sat around for a while getting our collective breaths before heading down the other side of the Minčeta towards the Old Port and Revelin Fortress where I had started my journey. The picture below was taken by the Australian girl of the couple.
As you head down towards the Old Port you pass the Dominican Monastery, nestling up against the walls. We crossed the Old Port and walked back up to St. John's Fortress and I bade my new Australian friends farewell and wished them on their way down to Greece. We met again two days later on my trip to Montenegro.

Once back down at ground level I wandered along to the Ploče Gate, the opposite equivalent to the Pile Gate at the other end of town. By this time the sun was starting to get quite low and big, dramatic shadows were being cast around the chasm-like alleys.
I took the picture to the left just inside the Ploče Gate between the town walls and the Dominican Monastery and later entered it into a photographic competition (to win a weekend in Zagreb), don't know yet whether it got anywhere or not.
I briefly wandered down to the Old Port to check out times for ferries across to Lokrum and saw they went every half hour or so, so that wasn't going to cause any problems later in the week.
I had to head back to base early today as my holiday rep. was going to be bringing me my excursion tickets, so I only had an hour or two more in Dubrovnik that day. I wandered back onto Luža Square and up to the Cathedral from that direction. As you approach the Cathedral on the left there is Dubrovnik's other "palace"; the Rector's Palace with a stunning arcaded front with intricate and unique carving at the top of each column. Inside is the only statue in Dubrovnik to a hero of the Ragusan Republic - they didn't believe in statues of dignitaries so this one was erected indoors to avoid public outcry. The statue is of Miho Pracat a merchant from the island of Lopud. The Rector's Palace was the seat of the Ragusan government dates to the 1460s and is elegant and surprisingly unshowy.
I turned around and put my back to the Cathedral and had a great view down past the Rector's Palace to the Sponza Palace beyond and the Bell Tower at the end of Stradun.
I headed back onto Stradun for a bit of souvenir shopping and also to get some Deutschmarks for my trips to Bosnia and Hercegovina and Montenegro where apparently they are the favoured form of currency (although both countrys have their own currencies and I came back from Bosnia with a handful of their Convertible Marks, such an ironic name for a currency that isn't convertible into anything much at all!).
I arrived back at Big Onofrio's Fountain and rested a little while, treating myself to a full-fat coca-cola and a spot of people watching. Whilst I sat here I noticed small children standing on a small square protruberance sticking out of the wall of the Franciscan Monastery's wall about a foot up. This, it turned out, was a local test of manhood, to be able to balance on this and face the wall with your arms outstretched for as long as possible.
Well, I could hardly not could I. What the locals thought of a fully grown man struggling to keep his balance on what essentially it seems is a test for children I don't know. After falling off for the second time I sheepishly returned to the fountain feeling a little foolish and sat down again. A little while later I had to head back to my hotel to pick up my tickets, after which I had an extremely uninspiring omlette and wandered down to Lapad Bay where I watched a glorious sunset and for once in my life didn't have a camera with me to catch it on film. After about 30 minutes sitting there I retired to watch Italian TV in the hope that some kind of gameshow would be on which might involve women taking off their clothes. Needless to say there wasn't so I just opted for sleep instead.

After my trips to Mostar and Montenegro I had popped into Dubrovnik town for my evening meal having vowed not to go near the hotel's food ever again (it wasn't even in my hotel, I had to go to another to eat!). However, my next full day in Dubrovnik wasn't until four days after my first and, if anything, it had got even hotter.
As I had been around the rest of the fortifications of the town before I headed first of all for the Fortress of Lovrijenac, which stands just outside the Pile Gate and is the only part of the fortifications separated from the town walls. It pre-dates the walls, but was rebuilt in it's present form after they were, in the sixteenth century. It is in pristine condition today, perhaps too much so, but is certainly worth a look, if nothing else for the wonderous views back to the old town from it's ramparts which are the best that can be had, at least until the cable car up the hill behind the town is repaired (it was destroyed in the 1991/92 shelling).
To read more about the Lovrijenac Fortress, see Castles of Europe.
After this I went back through the Pile Gate and into the Franciscan Monastery which stands just inside. To enter the Monastery you don't go through the church, as you might expect, but through a tiny alleyway between the Monastery church and St. Saviour's Church. Once inside you are greeted by a covered cloister (which was apparently very badly hit in the war). Also in the Monastery is Europe's Oldest Working Pharmacy (so the publicity runs), it dates to 1307 so it's probably not an unreasonable boast. Apart from this, and the rather grizzly reliquary for St. Ursula's head, there isn't much to keep you interested inside the Monastery and the Church, as it is still functional, is out of bounds.
So I went back outside and wandered a little, back through the maze of back streets and alleyways, continually finding new things to photograph and little charming nooks until you eventually become immune to such things and have to think about moving on. I had a rather disappointing cake and decided to head to the Old Port to catch the ferry over to Lokrum, the little island which sits off Dubrovnik.
The little boat was packed to the gunnels and I ended up rather disappointingly not above decks but in a little hole of a cabin which smelt of petrol and had a cockroach wandering happily about the wall. Fortunately the journey to Lokrum is only about 10 minutes so I didn't have to suffer the smell and company of the Dictyopteral variety for very long.
The boat fetches up at the very small harbour by the first building I'd seen in Croatia that was still ruined after the shelling in 1991/92 (which rather ambitiously declared it was the Museum of Lokrum).
The island, considering it is so small, has a remarkable history. Richard the Lionheart was allegedly shipwrecked here. A Benedictine Monastery was built here 1023 and was badly damaged in the 1667 earthquake and then again in the 91/92 shelling. Today only the cloister is occupied (by a restaurant) and it is in a state of wanting some repair. It is best viewed from afar, more of which is a while.
In 1859 the island was bought by Archduke Maximilian von Habsburg who constructed botanical gardens outside the Monastery which he turned into a summer palace. Incredibly the gardens were a target for the shelling in the recent war and were very badly damaged and are only now beginning to regain a certain amount of form.
Just onto the island from the jetty there is apparently a salty lake known as the "Dead Sea", which I never managed to find. So instead I decided to hike up to the 91 metre summit of the island which is crowned by Port Royal Castle (also known as Fort Royal) a small fortification built by the French during Napoleonic times. The path up to the Castle was not exactly well signposted and, although I couldn't really get lost, I did find myself wandering right to the other end of the island before I realised I needed to head away from the shore and up into the thick stands of olives, magnolias and palms which cover the island and harbour a million trillion billion (or so) of the noisiest cicadas I have yet to hear. Perhaps they had evolved such high decibels so they could be heard on the mainland.
Eventually I struggled up to the Castle and was rewarded with wonderful views back to Dubrovnik and down across the rest of Lokrum with the Monastery, looking to all intents and purposes intact from up here, nestling amongst the trees below. Surprisingly the central tower of the Castle (which is in truth a fortress rather than Castle) was open and I climbed it for even more panoramic views. After a while soaking in the views and tranquility up here my reverie was broken by the arrival of a rather loud German family and so I turned around and headed back down towards the Monastery to have a look around the botanical gardens.
To read more about the Castle, see Castles of Europe pages.
The gardens were mostly remarkable for the massive cacti which sit at one end and, like all cacti, look like they've been dropped there from another planet altogether.
I still couldn't find the "Dead Sea" but I did happen upon the nudist beach (signed posted as PKK Beach). However, there wasn't much to make me linger there. There is something about naturism that attracts pink, fat and horrendously wrinkly people whose bits and pieces dangle in a disturbingly mesmeric way; there never seem to be lithe and handsome people on nudist beaches - unless it is just my bad luck.
So I went to find a shady café, and there is only one on the island, and had a nice refreshing and longed for coke, looking at a huddle of bikini clad young ladies nearby and wondering what on earth they were doing here when there was a perfectly servicable nudist beach only a few metres away.
That was about it really for the island of Lokrum, save for the "Dead Sea" which would have to remain undiscovered, I wanted to head back to the mainland for something to eat. The ferry arrived and this time I managed to stay above deck to get some superb views of St. John's Fortress and Revelin facing each other across the Old Port as the boat bobbed and swayed its way back to Dubrovnik.
I got back to the town at that magical time when the sun is getting low and everything is cast in bright light and dark shadow. Swifts darted between the buildings and up and down Stradun as if it were still a waterway and I caught a wonderful photograph of the tower of the church of the Franciscan Monastery silhouetted by the fading sun despite it not being quite that late yet.
On my previous trip to town I had found a nice little pasta and pizza restaurant and wanted to go there again, but I thought I would try the little street which runs parallel to Stradun called Prijeko which all the guidebooks say is where all the restaurants congregate.
Well, that was true in as much as every tiny space in the already cramped street was full of tables and chairs and people begging you to eat at their restaurant. All the menus were depressingly similar though and I began to think that I would have to suddenly abandon vegetarianism and have a steak with fries. I struggled my way up Prijeko looking at menus trying to ignore the elderly men or beautiful young women bombarding me with promises of gastonomic delights. I had walked almost all the way along it trying to find something decent to eat but gave up and with a sigh of relief headed back down to Stradun where there was space to breath. Prijeko was the only place I found in Croatia that could be described as "spoilt by tourism" and I urge anyone who goes to Dubrovnik to eat anywhere but here.
I arrived back at the pasta restaurant had a reasonable penne pesto and then decided to call it a night. I had had three long days of excursions before today and had been very ill the previous night so I was basically pretty knackered. I had another day in Croatia, I could see Dubrovnik by night then.
On my first day in Croatia I had wandered down to the harbour at Lapad Bay where my hotel was situated. Here I had been assailed by men trying to persuade me to take a trip to the three Elaphite Islands in their boat. I had declined at the time, but seeing as their trips were half the price of those offered by the Atlas Agency I had filed this away in my head for "if I get time". On this last day I decided that I did have time and so I wandered down to the Bay once more.
I bought a 100 kuna ticket on a boat named something like the "Not Seaworthy Just Above the Surface" and eventually climbed aboard with two drivers and an English couple who both suffered with sea-sickness but were regular scuba divers. Hmm, thought I, this could be less than a good idea. The boat chugged out of Lapad Bay and turned to cut across the tide bobbing up and down like a yo-yo as it did so. The two English people went pale and then green, but fortunately we turned more and started to travel with the tide and the boat evened out a little.
Just around the corner from Lapad Bay is a truly awful concrete monstrosity of a hotel called the "Hotel President" which was built like a huge squat pyramid with a lift that went up the centre of the outside like something from a Fritz Laing movie. Here the boat was docked very very bumpily against a rather too solid looking concrete jetty and some more people were picked up, some Germans and another English couple. At this point the man who had told us he would be our guide disappeared and never returned. We were left with a man with virtually no English who piloted us back out in the swell in the manner of a one who had never driven a boat before. Once right out in the rockiest bits of sea he uncovered some biscuits and wine and an unmarked bottle of some kind of spirit and gestured to us to tuck in. It was about 9:30 in the morning and a little early for almost any of us. Our captain shrugged and turned back to his controls looking worryingly mystified.
It was with relief and a little surprise (possibly from our captain too) that we arrived at the first of the three inhabited Elaphite Islands, Koločep. The islands were named "Elaphite" by the Greeks who for some reason thought of deer when they arrived here. The islands seem a bit small to support deer and certainly don't look like any kind of animal, still the name stuck.
Koločep doesn't really have very much to offer. It has a small sweep of a bay which is quite pretty but uses up all it's angles fairly quickly. Oddly enough it is the most touristed of the islands and the only one with a hotel, inventively named the "Hotel Koločep". It was also the only island which I saw anyone trying to sell tourist tat, in this case dead sea urchins and (more worryingly) sea-horses.
I walked up the bay to the far end. I paused. I walked back down the bay again to the boat. I sat on a bench in the sun, then changed my mind and sat on one in the shade instead. Apparently if you have longer on the island there is not only another village but also a beautiful olive grove and some ancient ruins. Unfortunately (or possibly fortunately) we didn't have time and before we knew it we were back on the "That'll Never Float in a Million Years" and bobbing across to the next island in the group.
The next island is, in fact, Lopud (renowned as the prettiest of the three) but to the consternation of the sea-sick couple we went straight past it and headed instead for the most distant and largest of the islands, Šipan.
In broken, no let us say shattered, English our captain told us that Šipan was where he lived, and that was probably why he took us not to the main harbour Luka Šipanska (literally Šipan's Port) but rather to the small settlement at the other end of the island where he lived, which is called Suđurađ. I was really pleased he did so as the village is really very beautiful, clustered around a tiny harbour full of bobbing fishing boats it tumbles down to the sea in the manner of the best Mediterranean seafront villages everywhere. At the very centre, facing the port, is a Castle built by the Skočibuha family around 1539 with two fortified towers and a central range.
After an almost pantomime like struggle with ropes we managed to dock and our captain took us ashore. There he offered us some food at his house. To be honest I wasn't hungry and didn't want to waste my time on Šipan eating, so whilst everyone else disappeared off to his house for food I walked up through the village to a viewpoint. This was up a rocky, parched little footpath. Trying not to think about snakes I made my way up to the high point and looked down across the village and out to sea and the mainland beyond it and felt pleased with myself. At this point my video camera decided it was too bloody hot and stopped functioning. Try as I might I couldn't persuade it to work so I put it in my bag hoping the shade would revitalise it in time for Lopud.
My still camera was still working perfectly well and I got some nice shots as I wandered back down into Suđurađ, then up the other side of the village past what turned out to be another nudist beach, albeit an empty one. I was treated to some even more pretty views of the habour from the island's only road which eventually leads to Luka Šipanska.
I then wandered back down into the village to have a closer look at the Castle and watched a fisherman arrive with his small catch of odd looking fish. After a while the others arrived again and we headed back for the boat. All in all I was quite taken with Šipan and Suđurađ which turned out to be the highlight of the trip.
To read more about Suđurađ Castle, see Castles of Europe pages.
And so the "Not Much More Than A Bathtub Really" struggled through the waves to reach Lopud the last of the Elaphite Islands. Our captain presented us with a carrier bag full of small sticky sugar-covered pastries of a doughnut-like consistency. These were spiced with what tasted like cinnamon and after one or two became quite addictive (so perhaps they were spiced with cocaine instead). He seemed quite pleased that he had finally presented us with something we liked to eat. Bolstered one of the Germans tried the spirit from the unmarked bottle and went purple before surrepticiously letting the rest of the glassful slip out into the sea.
Lopud is dominated by the very attractive Franciscan Monastery which is heavily fortified and stands above the entrace to Lopud Bay. Another pantomime awaiting our docking here. There were no places left to dock and so we pulled up alongside a larger vessel (which had sails no less) and tied up against that instead. So we had to clamber up a rope ladder onto the big boat before we could go ashore. It was, admittedly, a very nautical way to arrive.
Lopud Bay is wide and very attractive, although to my eyes not as much as Suđurađ Bay had been. The first port of call had to be the Monastery which was quite plain on the inside. Some superb views could be had from the overgrown meadow behind it, particularly of the plant-encrusted fort that protected it from the land and very nearly qualified it for a place on the Castles of Europe pages. With some relief I tried my video camera again and it decided it had cooled down enough to start working.
Up on the hill behind the town was a genuine Castle which you could walk up to if you were clinically insane, in this heat and with only an hour or so on the island I settled for taking a photograph of it from here, which if nothing else gives a good idea of it's dramatic setting.
To read more about the Castle, see Castles of Europe pages.
Back down into town I stopped for a really good milkshake and then wandered along the Bay. Halfway along I came across the botanical gardens, thinking it probably a good idea to get some shade I went inside and was deafened by cicadas and attacked by midges. Persevering I walked all the way around the gardens but soon had had enough and exited again into the sunshine which was by now very strong indeed.
Further along the Bay there are two ancient churches, one of which is Pre-Romanesque and apparently architecturally very important, although the other was more attractive to look at. Eventually I reached the end of the Bay and looked at my watch. I still had plenty of time, so I decided to go and find something to eat. This proved to be quite difficult, apparently it was too late for lunch but too early for dinner and subsequently nowhere much was currently doing food. A little miffed at this I went to find somewhere to sit and read some of my book, Shanghai Baby by Wei Hui which had been banned in China and publicly burnt so had to be pretty good. About ten pages in and we were already dealing with lesbianism and masturbation so I could see why the Chinese had brought out the torches. It was compulsive reading and the half hour that I sat reading it passed quickly and eventually the rest of the people from the boat came back and we piled once more onto the good ship "Please God let us Get Back Alive" and headed away from Lopud and out to sea once more.
Having mastered the controls of the boat our captain now managed to steer unerringly into the roughest bits of sea he could possibly find, much to the consternation of the sea-sick couple who were getting more and more aggitated as the journey progressed. Eventually the sci-fi monstrosity of the Hotel President appeared and the Germans and other English couple departed. I had suggested to my green-gilled friends they get off here and walk, but they decided to brave the rest of the journey. This they regretted almost immediately when our captain turned up directly into the waves and the "This is It We're All Going To Die" jerked and jumped around like an epileptic fitting very badly indeed.
It was only briefly and we turned back into Lapad Bay. There then followed one last pantomime mooring with the anchor - a real anchor too, just like the one of the packet of butter - dragging along the seafloor as the boat attempted to connect with the jetty. Eventually it succeeded and we all got off, thanked our captain and left the "Never Again Even if You Paid Me" to await the next day's victims.
All in all, despite the almost comedic antics of our captain, it had been an excellent and relaxing day and I would recommend anyone to visit the islands - as long as they have a strong stomach and good sense of humour. It was worth it.
I said goodbye to the sea-sick couple who it turned out would be picked up by my coach back to the Airport the next day and went back to my hotel for a shower and a rest before I tackled my floodlit walk into Dubrovnik Town.
Dubrovnik is really very well floodlit, as I had seen from the coach when I had arrived, and it was good to be walking around it now. As usual the bus pulled up at the Pile Gate which is lit so brightly it might as well be daylight. Once inside the walls you are abruptly reminded that Croatia has strong Meditteranean influences, Stradun was filled with throngs of people doing the evening stroll common to all Meditteranean countries, called "korzo" here.
St. Blaise's Church is dramatically lit from inside making the stained glass glow with colour in the manner it does from inside during the day. Subtle but dramatic lighting picks out the arcades and features of the Sponza and Rector's Palaces. Surprisingly the Cathedral was lit rather uninventively.
I progressed down to the Old Port where I had hoped for dramatic reflections of St. John's Fortress glimmering in the black waters. I was disappointed to see that St. John's wasn't floodlit at all, although the Revelin Fortress on the other side of the harbour was. It seemed an oversight to not light St. John's, but I suppose one cannot whinge too much when you think about how well lit the rest of the town was. I contented myself to taking pictures across the harbour of the lights of the suburb of Ploče glimmering in the night, interestingly you could see the main road (on which the coach had arrived days before) where it travelled halfway up the hillside above town which wasn't visible at all during the day.
From here I passed by the Dominican Monastery and through the Ploče Gate to walk up the landward side of the walls toward the Minčeta Fortress where you are treated to one of the most impressive views of the town walls looking up from the side of the Revelin Fortress past the six bastions climbing the hill (for those fortification-philes out there they are named (starting at Revelin): St James, Drezvenik, St Katherine, St Lucy, St Barbara and then the Minčeta and all date from the 14th Century). Between St James and Drezvenik is another smaller entrance into the old town called the Buža Gate.
This leads down a particularly steep set of steps past Prijeko (which I hastened by) and back onto Stradun where I would inevitably spend my last time in Dubrovnik soaking in the atmosphere of this most remarkable and achingly beautiful little town.
I was certainly sad to be getting up the following day and packing. The coach did the usual round of hotel pick-ups, including the sea-sick couple from the Elaphite Islands trip and then treated us all to one last astounding aerial view of the old town before taking us to the airport. The flight home was excellent, somewhere over France the clouds dissipated and I began to spot landmarks; what I took to be the Loire, the mouth of the Seine with it's huge bridge near Le Havre, then along the Channel coast before crossing to fly over Essex. Then to my delight I spotted something very familiar indeed, the Isle of Sheppey and the meeting of the Thames and Medway. I was flying directly over my home! For years I had watched jets wheeling in the sky above Walderslade and finally after many many flights I was actually looking down upon the place I live. All too soon the flight touched down at Gatwick and a very successful holiday had come to an end.
Go to Croatia before the hoardes remember it is there and turn it into the next Corfu or Ibiza. You won't regret it.

Roberto's Ristorante & Pizzeria Restaurant Review: This inviting, family-friendly restaurant offers a collection of classic Italian dishes, including pizza with Italian sausage that's ground in-house. The specials list always has a number of interesting choices, especially when it comes to seafood, chops and steaks. Country Italian dishes of note are the mussels in red sauce, chicken Parmigiana and grilled salmon topped with pesto sauce. Then there's the porterhouse in Vesuvio sauce --- it's definitely worth the splurge. Moving on, count on cannoli and tiramisu-type desserts. The atmosphere is convivial, flowing through from the bar into two spacious, well-appointed dining rooms (with oversize tables for parties of six or more). Service is professional and accommodating.

I use an SWR Workingman's 12. Could a drum machine just be plugged into the effects loop input or do I have to run it through my stereo receiver like an audio component? Thanks!

"See everything you need to know to go - and discover some places you may have missed in your planning."
"Hi, I'm Rick Steves'" ~ Traveling the World From The Comfor
Brian E. Erland | Brea, CA - USA | 04/07/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Has there ever been another travel guide more amiable, more informative, more eclectic and just plain likeable than Rick Steves? This somewhat nerdish but pleasant looking fellow will immediately win the viewer over with his charm, humor and smoothing, layback manner. However what will keep you watching program after program is his consummate knowledge of the sites and people he visits.
While each journey is only 30 minutes in length Rick has a unique talent of synthesizing the many facets that make up a people and place. He leaves no stone unturned in his analysis; historical background, spiritual heritage, cultural underpinnings and political legacy are all equally touched upon to give the audience a fuller understanding of the rural and urban landscape.
However Rick is not one to miss out on a good time, he also provides a delightful tour of the contemporary markets, music, restaurants and nightlife. The kind of information would really want to know if you're out for a good time.
The production values are also wonderful offering fanstastic visuals that are worth watching even if there where no commentary. Traveling with Rick Steves' is the next best thing to being there.
This particular DVD contains eight episodes, thirty minutes in length. Imagine four hours in England and Wales await, better get started!"

"I find that Rick Steves DVD's are very interesting and informative. I love to arm chair travel with Mr. Steves and go to all those exciting places. I like that he touches on the culture and especially the food they eat. I am a good cook and love to read or see what Mr Steves is eating in far away places."

Kiss Excerpt from:
Harry Potter and the Dominus Potion
by Winky and Dobby
~Contributed by: Zsenya~
"Oy! Ron! Heads up!"
Harry looked over at his friends as Ron and Hermione opened their eyes with
a start and glanced up. Floating in the air above them was a large bunch of
mistletoe tied with gold ribbon. They both blushed and stopped dancing. By now
other couples around them had noticed the situation as well, and people were
beginning to stare, whispering expectantly.
"What the--?" Ron had pulled Hermione out from beneath the mistletoe,
but the festive bundle swooped after them to alight once more a foot above his
head. Ron's blush darkened as he scanned the crowd with a suspicious gaze, undoubtedly
seeking his older brothers.
"What are you waiting for?" someone called out. "Kiss her!"
Hermione's face was now the color of Ron's hair. They both whirled to see who
had made the comment, only to find themselves surrounded by a crowd of over-enthusiastic
Gryffindors. Harry cringed in sympathy for his two friends. There seemed only
one thing they could do.
Ron and Hermione's faces wore identical expressions of extreme embarrassment
as they slowly moved closer, avoiding eye contact. Apparently they had reached
the same conclusion as Harry. Hermione closed her eyes and tilted one cheek
upwards toward Ron, who squeezed his own eyes shut and bent swiftly to give
it a quick peck. But just before he reached her Fred "accidentally"
gave his brother a slight nudge, and Ron's lips landed squarely on Hermione's
Both their eyes flew open. For a moment Hermione and Ron stood frozen beneath
the mistletoe, then someone whistled and they sprang apart abruptly. Harry stared.
"Way to go, Ron!" George was giving him a double thumbs-up.
"Wow, Hermione!" Several of the younger girls were regarding the stunned
brunette with obvious surprise, some even a bit enviously. Other couples had
begun hooting and clapping, oblivious to Ron and Hermione's rather noticeable
Ron seemed to have difficulty meeting Hermione's gaze. "Let's get some
air," Harry heard him mumble to the floor, and a minute later they were
retreating to the gardens.
Kiss Excerpt from:
The Way He Kisses Me
by Mosylu
~Contributed by: Night Zephyr~
All of a sudden, Parvati stopped dead, and Lavender (who had been loudly proclaiming
that Hermione had conjured up the whole thing out of pixie dust) plowed into
her back. There was a minor domino effect as the girls stopped.
"What is it?"
"What's going on?"
"Let's get back; I'm hungry!"
"Look," Parvati said softly.
Up ahead, in the shadows of the trees, were a couple of Gryffindors. Their hair--brilliant
orange and bushy brown--made it obvious which couple they were, and it was equally
obvious what they were doing.
Even as they watched, open-mouthed, he wrapped his arms around her middle and
hoisted her up in the air, spinning them both around a couple of times before
letting her back down again and dipping his head.
"Like . . . like he's laughing . . ."
He was kissing her like it was the best fun he'd ever had in his life, and that
included Quidditch (although, as a peevish Lavender said later, he was a Weasley
so you never could quite tell on that score). He kissed her like he could go
on doing it forever quite happily, with only occasional breaks to eat. He kissed
like it was an outpouring of joie de vivre, an impulsive, joyous moment where
you had to do something or you'd just burst--you had to dance or sing or yell
at the top of your lungs, just for the hell of it.
In short--he kissed like he was laughing.
Completely deflated, the Gryffindor girls headed back to the tower. The worst
thing about it, all the single girls (and many of those who weren't) moaned
to themselves, was that Hermione had gotten Ron over a year ago, and she wasn't
about to let him go any time soon.
For that matter, a few of the more perceptive girls realized, neither would
he let her go.
Kiss excerpt from:
by That H.P. Guy
~Contributed by: Night Zephyr~
Alright, Ron, just one more thing then. Hermione smiled
mischievously and adopted Rons southern accent, Give us a kiss,
will ya?
There were gasps from the assembled Gryffindors as Ron hopped to his feet and
walked toward her. She began to back away from him. Stop, Ron! she
I think you forget how that potion works, Hermione. Hes only compelled
to do things he wouldnt mind doing ordinarily! Harry called back,
amidst much laughter and more than a few catcalls.
Ron finally caught up to Hermione, and backed her into a corner, his arms on
either side of her, preventing her escape. He looked down into her face, and
she looked back up at him, nervous and afraid. He moved his hands from her sides
to her shoulders as he lowered his face to meet hers. He pressed his lips against
Hermiones, and she felt herself immediately melt against him.
Even with an audience of dozens, Ron didnt hold back. Hermiones
lips opened against his own, and she felt his hot breath mingled with hers.
He kissed. He nibbled. He ran the tip of his tongue over her lips and against
her own. She answered in kind, and with tiny, happy, mewling noises.
He pulled back from the kiss abruptly. Hermiones eyes were still closed,
reveling in the bliss she was feeling. Her eyelids fluttered open, and she stared
into Rons eyes. Her face quickly flushed as the room erupted in cheers,
applause and wolf-whistles. She broke away from Ron and ran quickly upstairs
to the girls dormitory.
Kiss Excerpt from:
The Wizard King
by Ara Kane
~ Contributed by: Rainydaie
Well, I am telling you now, the Diviner told him, baby or
no baby,
we must go east. The Wizard King will not be found in Holyhead.
The redheaded young man scowled. Draco sensed a storm of an argument a-brewing.
How are you so certain?
The Signs say so.
The Signs say so, or you say so?
Now hes done it, Draco thought with a silent groan. Being the highly intelligent
young woman that she was, Hermione did not miss the faintly accusing note in
Ronalds voice and drew herself up indignantly. Are
you accusing me of fabricating the Signs? she demanded.
What if I am?
Then I will give you exactly five seconds to retract your accusation before
I prove you miserably wrong. Her lips thinned when the appointed five
seconds passed without any comment from Ronald. I am sorry to tell you
this, my Lord, but you are wrong.
She wrenched open the satchel she was carrying and pulled out a thick sheaf
of parchment covered with orderly characters and numerals.
I do not interpret the Signs based on mere whim, Hermione snapped,
waving the papers in the redheaded young mans face. The details
of the Wizard Kings death have given us a set of parameters within which
the Seeking must proceed. Our actions in response to these parameters provide
definite quantities that, when evaluated using the highly complex arithmantical
methods that I mastered only after a lifetime of training, will in turn point
us in the direction we must take next.
Thus far, it appears that we have satisfied all the requirements put forth
by the Signs because the Wizard King remains within sight, and I am not about
to change all that now!
Ronald glared wordlessly at the Diviner and her copious notes. You are
the most aggravating woman, he finally growled.
And you are a miscreant!
You're a shrew!
Human! By now, they were nose to nose. You are only human,
the redheaded young man told her tightly. You can make mistakes. Even
with your years of training, you cannot predict everything. If you did, then
you would have known not to come so close to me, because Im going to do
He lunged before Hermione could react. When she did finally scream, her cry
was heavily muffled, thanks to the fact that Ronalds lips were firmly
pressed against hers.
Oh, my! Sylvestra giggled, turning away from the pair.
Draco snorted back a laugh and saw that Guinevere and Henry were also hiding
No wonder those two kept striking sparks off each other, the dark-haired
young man murmured.
Hermione gave a muffled squeal again and began to beat Ronald around the head
and shoulders with the notes still clutched in her hand. He withstood quite
a few good blows (a testament to his phenomenally thick
skull, in Dracos opinion) before finally releasing her.

Each day our editors roundup our favorite sights and projects from New York Design Week. Today we cover ICFF, designjunction + Dwell on Design, Wanted Manhattan and NYCxSKYMALL.
This year's American Design Honors recipient (the award was launched last year and is intended to highlight the work of a promising young American designer/entrepreneur) at WantedDesign is Chicago-based designer Steven Haulenbeek. The experimental, interdisciplinary work of his studio is showcased through old and new projects, including his Ice Cast Bronze work—a unique process he developed that carves bronze using ice molds—alongside more recent work in resin.
WantedDesign Manhattan is on view through May 16, 2016.
Montreal-based studio Dear Human showed diverse works, all made using 100% recycled paper. The quirky product designs are often inspired by folk furniture, like the milking stool (shown above on the left) which draws on a form of traditional three-legged stools they encountered at an ethnographic museum in Belgrade. On the wall, patterns and colors combine to form a subway-tile inspired panel system.
WantedDesign Manhattan is on view through May 16, 2016.
At ICFF this year, Bernhardt debuted the Mellow sofa by Océane Delain—and after testing it out we can say that it is among the most comfortable seats we've ever come across. Made of layered memory foam, the ingenious design features a network of cords that can be activated (see detail below the seat) to customize the firmness of the seating surface. Also on view is the results of a collaboration with ArtCenter College of Art students who were asked to design furniture for adaptable work environments. The result is a playful, clever system of modular soft pieces that can double as seats or tables as well as a set of acoustic dividers that are sleek and abstract enough to look like minimal art pieces.
ICFF is on view at the Jacob Javits Center through May 17, 2016.
Haberdashery's beautiful Leaf lighting canopy is a delicate, customizable system animated by leaves made out of bone china. The sculptural piece really blurs the line between art and design and casts beautiful shadows below.
designjunction + Dwell on Design is on view through May 15, 2016.
The designers behind Wintercheck Factory, Kristen Wentrecek and Andrew Zebulon Williams, invited 20 of their favorite design studios to participate in a pop-up exhibition exploring design concepts for problems that don't exist. Learn more about the show in our interview with the duo.
NYCxSKYMALL is on view through May 14, 2016.

Catholic New York - New York, NY
Pro-life protesters and pickets are being urged not to stop their activities in front of abortion clinics because of the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision supporting buffer zones around such facilities and despite local advocates' being caught up in the legal fray.
On June 28, two days before the Supreme Court's decision, 21 persons were arrested and jailed for blocking access to the Women's Medical Pavilion in Dobbs Ferry where abortion protests have been held regularly for the past six years.
On July 1, State Attorney General Oliver Koppell filed a complaint in federal court against these individuals for violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE) which President Clinton signed into law May 24.
"Let's not automatically waive our rights to counsel and picket before these rights are taken away clinic by clinic," said Christopher Slattery, program director of Manhattan's Legal Center for Defense of Life. "Each clinic or city would need to seek its own injunction in a federal or state court to apply to each facility."
On the date of the high court's decision, June 30, eight of those arrested were sentenced to nine days in jail for disorderly conduct. The remaining protesters, including Father Norman Weslin of the Lambs of Christ, a non-violent antiabortion group, were sentenced to 45 days for contempt of court for violating a protection order obtained by the clinic. These protesters had been arrested earlier this year at the clinic and the order stipulated that they stay away from it for a year.
Father Frank A. Pavone, who is national director or Priests for Life, called for increased pro-life activities in an effort to spread the truth. Noting that last Wednesday's Supreme Court decision was "both an attack on the babies' right to life and the mothers' right to truth," Father Pavone said, "The attempts to silence the pro-life message within a certain distance of the killing center illustrates the fact that abortion providers are threatened by truth."
In the action in federal court, the members of the Lambs of Christ will have to appear in court Friday, July 18, and show cause why they should not be fined as much as $75,000 for violation of former State Attorney General Robert Abrams' court order not to block the Dobbs Ferry clinic. They will also have to pay attorney fees and court costs.
Koppell also filed a separate complaint under the FACE law which asks for "injunctive relief, damages and civil penalties" against the Lambs, a local Operation Rescue group called LIFE, Father Weslin and other individuals including several "Jane and John Does."
In the court papers, they are charged with preventing 13 women from entering the clinic and "depriving the pavilion of business and costs and a monetary loss of $11,000." Slattery told CNY that pro-life organizations that wish to picket or counsel outside abortion centers should not assume that "buffer zones of 36 feet are automatically in force because of the ruling." An injunction must first be obtained by each such center, he said.
He maintained that the court's action "is a devastating decision for the long-term future of sidewalk counseling." However, he could see a silver lining in that the decision preserves the right of counselors to approach abortion-bound women, the right to picket with signs of their choice and the right to pass the homes of abortionists and their staff.
Joseph M. Scheidler, executive director of the Pro-Life Action League of Chicago, said that his group's sidewalk counselors would be out as usual. "If women were guaranteed full information before they make a decision about abortion, we might not have to be out in front of the clinics," he said. "But they are denied this information and we have no choice but to provide them with the opportunity to know the facts."
Father Pavone said Pope John Paul 11 at World Youth Day at Denver last August urged the spread of "truth about life into the streets and public places." "Priests for Life calls on all pro-lifers to come out into the streets in greater numbers than ever, both at the killing centers and at every street corner to proclaim the truth about abortion," he said.
The organization has prepared a manual on the purposes and methods of pro-life street activities. Information: 888-PFL-3448.

Henry Ford Quotes About AgeQuotes about: Age
For thirty years I have leaned toward the theory of Reincarnation. It seems a most reasonable philosophy and explains many things. No, I have no desire to know what, or who I was once; or what, or who, I shall be in the ages to come. This belief in immortality makes present living the more attractive. It gives you all the time there is. You will always be able to finish what you start. There is no fever or strain in such an outlook. We are here in life for one purpose: to get experience. We are all getting it, and we shall all use it somewhere.
What we are entering is a power age, and the importance of the power age lies in its ability, rightly used with the wage motive behind it, to increase and cheapen production so that all of us may have more of this world's goods. The way to liberty, the way to equality of opportunity, the way from empty phrases to actualities, lies through power
I foresee the time when industry shall no longer denude the forests which require generations to mature, nor use up the mines which were ages in making, but shall draw its raw material largely from the annual produce of the fields. I am convinced that we shall be able to get out of yearly crops most of the basic materials which we now get from forest and mine.
