Ralph Gerald Genis,My Goldfish:Rebecca,Cara and Howie Welcome You.Have Message Board At Photo Page.Please Add Thoughtfull Moments. Question: I live in a third-floor apartment and would like to start an herb garden. I don't have a balcony, but I do have a window that gets lots of sunlight. Are there herbs that I can grow year-round indoors? Answer: Some herbs adapt better than others to growing indoors; basil, thyme, chives and lemon verbena tend to do well as houseplants. Some herbs, such as rosemary and sage, will grow fine indoors for a while, but will tend to get leggy and "tired" after a while. However, you can root cuttings and start new plants as necessary.

Sir Paul McCartney and Band Official Website
This summer just got hotter as tickets for all of Paul McCartney’s “O4 Summer Tour” dates are now officially on sale. The tour of the year, promises to be nothing less then historic as Macca and his rockin’ band, get ready to roll through 14 performances that kick off in Gijon, Spain on the 25th May, before concluding at the Glastonbury Festival on 26th June. In case you hadn’t heard Macca’s tours are in fact legendary, pulling in people of all ages, and everyone makes it priority one to see The Mac live. Previous shows have seen Tom Cruise dancing in the aisles to “Band On The Run”, Jack Nicholson singing along to “Back In The USSR”, John Cusack blown away by the pyrotechnics of “Live And Let Die” and Michael Douglass with Catherine Zeta-Jones arm in arm during “Let It Be”. With a guest-list that has also included Sting, James Taylor, Brian Wilson and the members of Aerosmith, to na me a few, there can be no argument that Paul McCartney is the musician’s musician. But it doesn’t stop there. Former and current heads of state – Presidents, Prime Ministers and world leaders, from former U.S. President Clinton to Russian President Vladimir +Putin, and others, have all been to see what a true legend is and how rock royalty commands and captivates an audience. “There’s only one Paul McCartney,” said one insider. “Only one guy to hear singing those songs – “Hey Jude”, “Maybe I’m Amazed”, “Yesterday” – and he’s the one.”Needless to say, past tours have won critical acclaim that most artists could only ever dream about. Armed with nothing but the hits, “04 Summer Tour” is sure to take Europe by storm (again). 5-04-04;My Good Friends I Played Two Open Stage At Agenda Restaraunt and Bar,7 Performers,Own Songs and Bob Dylan(Julie Has Her Ticket For Glastonbury and T In Park)Neil Young Madonna,Tim Mcgraw,Cat Stevens,Oasis(Me Playing and Singing Wonderwall,Also The Dream, John Who Teaches Piano really enjoyed and The Dancer For My Good Friend Sarah and Dear You(Write To Your Friends) and The Promise(With Traditional Robert Burns Music),Then Finished My Set With Anji(Simon and Garfunkel,Bert Janch) and Summertime(George Gershwin)I Played Michael’s Yamaha Guitar,Rather Than My Vintage Acoustic,Gus Has My Pickup,Returned(Visited Our Coach House Gardens.John and Julie(My Dental Recep)Gave Me A Shaker From Aiwa Who Sponsors Show.Feeling Better After Performing and Some New Friends,I’ll Return To AGENDA.Sunday Eve,You All Keep Well 2004;Good News,I've been asked by my musical friend Richard Burns to Write some Songs for E.M.I.(Electronic Music Industries)Records,for Chelsea's Soho Studios,E.M.I.

David's Little Brother Michael Has Spent The Last Few Months Learning His Pasha and I Danielle Had The Opprtunity To Choose A Subject To Study In Honor Of My Bat Mitzvah.Next Week Will Be Tu Bishevat,Which Is The New Year For Trees and As I Am Celebrating A New Year Of My Own,Tu Bishevat Seemed To Be An Obvious Choice.We All Know About Rosh Hashanah,But The First Thing I Discovered Was There Is Not Just One New Year In The Jewish Calendar,but Four.The Mishna In Rosh Hashanah Tells Us:There Are Four New Years-One The First Of Nissan Is The New Year For Kings and Festivals;One The First Of Elul Is The New Year For The Tithe Of Animals;One The First Of Tishri Is The New Year For The Counting Of Years-And Tu Bishvat Is The New Year For Trees.The Name Of This Festival Is Actually Its Date.Tu Being Hebrew For The Fifteen and It Falls In The Month Of Shevat(Cntd soon)8th Febrauary:. All This Sounded Very Confusing.How Could There Be So Many Years?When I Thought More About It,It Wasn't Really So Strange. After All,In The Secular Calender,We Have The 1st.Of January For The Beginning Of The Year,Early September For The New School Year and The New Tax Year Starts On 5th April.In The Same Way,We Have Different New Years In The Jewish Calendar. Special Dates Help Us Notice and Use Time Properly.A Prisoner In His Cell Counts The Days,Which Are All The Same,and Hopes They Will Pass Quickly So That His Sentance Will Be Over.The Jewish Calendar Helps Us To Notice and Celebrate Time In A Whole Variety Of Ways,We Have Dates When We Are Serious,Like Yom Kippur,and Dates When We are Happy,like Simchat Torah.We Remember Our Freedom From Egypt With Excitement And We Remember The Destruction Of Our Temple With Sadness.By Noticing All Of Our Special Occasions,We Don't Just Exist-We LIVE.The Cycle Of Yhe Jewish Year Connects Us To Our History and Our Future.We Can Think Of It As A Spiral.Each Time A Festival Comes Round,We Revisit It From A New Perspective.The Festival Stays The Same,But We Have Had The Opportunity To Grow:The Rosh Hashanah That We All Know Best Is The One We Celebrate On The First Of Tishri and Is Generaly Known As The Jewish New Year.On Rosh Hashanah We Take Stock Of The Past Year and Aim To Do Better In The Future.We Eat Apple And Honey To Symbolise A Good And Sweet Year To Come.The Next Rosh Hashanah Is The First Of Nissan,So It Is The Calendar New Year and It Is Also The New Year For Festivals.The Third and Fourth New Year Are Both Connected With Ma'aser or Tithe. The Tithe Was A 10% Tax On Crops and Animals That Was Given By The Isrealites To The Priests.When The Jews Entered The Land Of Israel,All The Tribes Recieved Their Own Portion Of Land,Except The Tribe Of Levy.Thr Levites Trained As Educators and Leaders and Served In The Temple Rather Than Work On The Land.Their Lives Were Dedicated To Serving The Purpose and Bringing Them Closer To G-D. In Return The Other Tribes Were Commanded To Give Them 10% Of Their Animals,Fruit and Vegetables To Provide A Support System For Them.Part Of This Tax Was Also Given To The Poor.This Is To Remind Us That The Greatest Blessing In Having Health,Wealth and Possessions Is In SHARING THEM.The Fisrt Of Elul Is The Beginning Of The Tax Year For Animals,and Tu Bishevat Is The Beginning of The Tax Year For Trees,Fruit Which Ripened and Was Picked After The 15th Of Shevat Counted For The Following Year.Although Originally Tu Bishevat Simply Marked The Boundary Between Fruit Of One Year and The Next,It Became A Festival When Jews Could Express Their Love For The Land Of Israel Even When They Were In Exile.Tu Bishevat Falls Just Before The New Season Of Growth Starts.Jews All Over The World Would Pray For Rains In Israel To Come At The Right Time So The Crops Would Be Successful.The Torah Praises The Land Of Israel and describes It As "A Land Of Wheat and Barley,Vines,Fig Trees and Pomegranates.A Land Of Olive Trees and Date Honey" Each Year,As Tu Bishevat Arrived,Jews Would Try and Collect These Seven Special Fruits of The Land Of Israel and Eat Them In Honour Of The Festival.Fifteen Fruit-Corresponding To The 15th Of Shevat.It Also Became Customary To Pray For The Etrog Tree To Do Well So That People Would Have A Beautifull Etrog For The Following Succot.Some Communities Had The Custom To Stay Up Late At Night To Pray and Study In Honour Of The Festival.In The 16th Century,Tu Bshevat Took On A New Look.After The Jews Were Forced To Leave Spain,A Large Group Came and Settled In Tsfat In Northern Israel.This Became The Centre Of Kabbalah and New Ceremonies Were Introduced.These Jews Celebrated Tu Bishevat In A Similar Way To Pesach,With A Seder Which Has Special Prayers,Blessings,Fruit,Flowers and Four Cups Of Wine.More Recently,Tu Bishevat Has Become A Time For Planting Trees.In The Torah It Says.."And When You Shall Enter This Land,You Shall Plant Fruit-Bearing Trees.." When The Jews Started To Return To The Land Of Israel At The End Of The 19th Century,They Found A Land Of Desert and Swamp,Despite all The Difficulties,They Cleared The Hills Of Stones,Drained The Swamps and Started To Plant Trees.The Zionist Movement Considered Replanting The Forests A Sacred Duty,The Symbol Of An Era Of Renewal.The First Tree Planting Ceremony On Tu Bishevat Took Place In 1884 When Hundreds Of Citrus Trees,Were Planted.Tu Bishevat Gradually Became Established As A Day Of Tree Planting.Many Of Us Will Recognize The Blue Boxes Which Have Helped The Jewish National Fund To Plant New Forests In Israel.We Find In Genesis That When G-d Created Humans,They Were Placed In A Complete and Beautiful World and Were Told That The World Was To Be Enjoyed and Taken Care Of.Jewish Tradition Has Always Viewed This As An Expression Of A Human Partnership With G-d,a Partnership Sharing Responsibility and Effort For Taking Care Of The Earth. The Story Is Told Of A Great Man,Called Choni Hamagil,Who Planted A Carob Tree.A Man Watching Asked Him How Long Would It Take For The Tree To Bear Fruit."Seventy Years,"Replied Choni.The Bystander Laughed."Do You Really Think You'll Be Around To Eat The Fruit?""No" Replied Choni,"But When I Was Young I Found Carob Trees With Ripe Fruit,So Someone Must Have Planted Them Before Me.I Must Do The Same For Those That Come After Me" Pulling Trees Gives Us Hope For The Future.On Tu Bishevat We Celebrate The New Year Of The Trees Even Though It Is Still Early Spring and No Fruit Trees Has Yet Grown.We Are,In Fact,Celebrating The Potential That We Know Is There and We Are Confidant The Fruit Will Follow. A Bat Mitzvah Is Very Similar.Since I Turned Twelve I Am Regarded As A Jewish Adult,Becoming Bat Mitzvah Means Responsible For Keeping The Mitzvot and Thereby Becoming A Better Person.Although All The Mitzvah That I Will Now Do Are Counted As An Adult,I Am Still A Beginner and I Have Plenty To Learn.Like The Trees On Tu Bishevat,We Are Celebrating My Potential and I Hope I Will Be Able To Live Up To My New Responsibilities As A Bat Mitzvah. Shabbat Shalom!!Miss Danielle Genis.Transcribed By Ralph Gerald Genis(Goldfish)2nd Cousin,31st January 2003 To 15th February.2004 Leigh and Dana Genis,Daughter's and Son's(Family)
