PALM BEACH (TheStreet) -- "Never make predictions, especially about the future." -- Casey Stengel
It's that time of the year again!
By means of background, 12 years ago, I set out and prepared a list of possible surprises for the coming year, taking a page out of the estimable Byron Wien's playbook, who originally delivered his list while chief investment strategist at Morgan Stanley then Pequot Capital Management and now at Blackstone. (Byron Wien's list will be out in early January and it will be fun to compare our surprises.) I often speak to and get input from some of the wise men and women that I know in the investment and media businesses.
I set out as a primary objective for my Surprise List (see 2014) to deliver a critical and variant view relative to consensus -- that can provide alpha or excess returns. Economic and stock market histories have proven that (more often than generally thought) consensus expectations of critical economic and market variables may be off base.
Below I outline the lessons I've learned over the years, how my predictions have historically done, what the consensus is for 2015 and my rationale for my 15 surprises. It's useful background in understanding the markets in 2015. That said, to jump to the first 2015 surprise (and how to take advantage of it), click here.

Lessons Learned Over the Years
"I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown." -- Woody Allen
There are five core lessons I have learned over the course of my investing career that form the foundation of my annual surprise lists:
1. how wrong conventional wisdom can consistently be;
2. that uncertainty will persist;
3. to expect the unexpected;
4. that the occurrence of black swan events are growing in frequency; and
5. with rapidly changing conditions, investors can't change the direction of the wind, but we can adjust our sails (and our portfolios) in an attempt to reach our destination of good investment returns.

It is important to note that my surprises are not intended to be predictions but rather events that have a reasonable chance of occurring despite being at odds with the consensus. I call these "possible improbable" events. In sports, betting my surprises would be called an "overlay," a term commonly used when the odds on a proposition are in favor of the bettor rather than the house.
The real purpose of this endeavor is a practical one -- that is, to consider positioning a portion of my portfolio in accordance with outlier events, with the potential for large payoffs on small wagers and investments. If I succeed in making you think (and possibly position) for outlier events, then my endeavor has been worthwhile.
How Did My Surprise List for 2014 Do?
In 2014 my success rate was at about 40% (which included five also ran predictions), in line with my historical average but in contrast with my 15 surprises for 2013, which had the poorest success rate since 2005's list (20%). By comparison, my 2012 surprise list achieved about a 50% hit ratio, similar to 2011. Click here to the last slide to see a report card of my 15 surprises for 2014 (and the five "also ran" surprises).
What Was the Consensus for 2014 and What is the Consensus for 2015?
"The only thing people are worried about is that no one is worried about anything.... That isn't a real worry." -- Adam Parker, chief U.S. strategist at Morgan Stanley
"In ambiguous situations, it's a good bet that the crowd will generally stick together -- and be wrong." -- Doug Sherman and William Hendricks
As mentioned earlier we entered 2014 there was a generally upbeat outlook for global economic and profit growth as well as upbeat prospects for the U.S. stock market. Projections for bond yields were universally for higher yields throughout the year -- the same could be said for the general expectation of rising oil prices. As is typical, most sell-side projections for earnings, the economy, bond yields and stock prices were grouped in an extraordinarily tight range.
• Both U.S. and global economic growth disappointed the consensus (despite a strong third-quarter 2014 U.S. GDP print).
• S&P earnings were a slight beat but only because of more aggressive than anticipated share repurchase programs, lower depreciation and interest expenses and a decline in effective tax rates.
• Bond yields declined unexpectedly -- the ten year yield dropped from 3.05% to about 2.20%.
• Deflationary forces were also a surprise -- most notably no one projected that oil prices would fall to under $60/barrel and that the Bloomberg Commodity Index would hit a five year low in Dec. 2014.
• Stock prices ended the year about five percent above beginning-of-the-year consensus forecasts.

Virtually all strategists are now self-confident bulls, as gloom-and-doom forecasts have all but disappeared. After another year with no reactions of 10% or more, any future setbacks are being viewed by the consensus as "bumps in the road" and as opportunities to buy because (after the correction(s)) we will be "up up and away."
After missing the 25% rise in valuations in 2013 (and a further expansion in price-to-earnings ratios in 2014), the consensus now assumes that valuations will expand slightly again in 2015. (Note: The average price-to-earning ratio has increased by about 2% per year over the last 25 years.)
The domestic economy has forward momentum (as witnessed by 5% Real GDP growth in the third quarter of 2014) -- so the extrapolation of heady growth is now in full force by the consensus.
In terms of the markets, the consensus remains of the view that liquidity (albeit, at a slowing rate) will overcome complacency and valuations again as it did last year, but my surprises incorporate the notion that the extremes that exist today (in price and bullish sentiment) put the markets in a different and less secure starting point in 2015.
"We expect the growth recovery to broaden as global growth picks up to 3.4% in 2015 from 3% in 2014. Inflation is likely to remain low, in part due to declines in commodity prices, and as a result monetary policy should remain easy. We think this backdrop supports a pro-risk asset allocation." -- Goldman Sachs, Global Opportunity Asset Locator (December, 2014)
Must Read: 10 Most Undervalued Dividend Stocks to Invest in Right Now
As we enter 2015, investors and strategists are again grouped in a narrow consensus and expect a sweet spot of global economic corporate profit growth that will translate to higher stock prices.
The consensus is for U.S. economic growth of 2.5% to 3.25% Real GDP, bond yields to be 50-to-75 basis points higher than year-end 2014 and closing 2015 stock market price targets to be up by about 8% to 10% (on average). Indeed, most strategists suggest (in sharp contrast to their views 12 months ago) that the big surprise for 2015 will be that there is upside to consensus economic growth and stock market price targets.
Here were Goldman Sach's views for 2014 made twelve months ago (with actuals in parentheses). As can be seen, the brokerage's growth forecasts for the real economy (as was the entire sell side) were too optimistic, while price targets for the S&P Index were not ambitious enough:
• U.S. real GDP was estimated at 3.1% for 2014 (2.4%);
• Global real GDP was estimated at 3.6% for 2014 (3.0%)
• S&P 500 earnings-per-share -- $116 top-down estimate and $119 bottom-up estimate for 2014 ($119 share)
• Year-end 2014 S&P 500 price target was estimated at $1,900 ($2,080)
• Inflation/headline CPI, 1.5% for 2014 (1.1%)
• U.S 10-year Treasury yield 3.25% for year end 2014 (2.20%)
Again, let's use Goldman Sachs' principal 2015 views of expected economic growth, corporate profits, inflation, interest rates and stock market performance as a proxy for the consensus for the coming year. This year the brokerage, like most, is following the bullish trend and is more optimistic on the market relative to their uninspiring expectations last year:
• 2015/2016 U.S. Real GDP growth: 3.1%, 3.0%
• 2015/2016 Global Real GDP growth: 3.6%, 3.9%
• 2015 S&P 500 operating per share profits: $122/share
• Year-end 2015 S&P 500 price target: $2,100
• 2015 Consumer Prices: 1.0%, 2.4%
• 2015 closing yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note: 3.00%

The Rationale Behind My Downbeat Surprises for 2015
There are numerous reasons for my downbeat theme this year. Below are a few (in no order of importance): corporate profit margins remain elevated, the rate of domestic economic growth is decelerating (despite five years of QE and ZIRP), a quarter of the world is experiencing minimum growth in GDP, optimism and complacency are elevated, signs of malinvestment are appearing, valuations (price-to-earnings ratios) rose again after a 25% expansion in 2013 (compared to only 2% annual growth since the late-1980s. As well so many gauges of valuations are stretched (Market Cap/GDP, the Shiller price-to-earnings ratio, and many others).
Above all, I expect the theme of the U.S. as an "oasis of prosperity" will be tested in 2015 and 2016.
Moreover, given the large array of potentially adverse economic, geopolitical and other outcomes - the markets have grown complacent after a trebling in prices over the last five years.
Finally, my downbeat surprises this year recognize, that as we enter 2015, we should not lose sight of the notion that if pessimism is the friend of the rational buyer, optimism is the enemy of the rational buyer.

I never seem to have enough pages in my check registers that come with my checks. This not only takes care of that problem but provides a quick reference when making a budget or referencing my financial plans in my planner itself. It's a very handy way to keep a clean, written account of my expenses.
Delivery was reasonable. Packaging was excellent. Service was excellent. The web page a little difficult to navigate, but manageable.

How to control my anxiety disorder I have been diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorder with agoraphobia, im gettin somewhat better, living on my own now but i can't get myself to go anywhere. I feel like im just rotting away. How do I get myself to get
From : From what you described, your anxiety disorder and agoraphobia are quite debilitating. You asked how to make the anxiety go away and how you can do the things you used to. The most important factor is a strong desire to be well and the commitment that is required to do so. There are a number of options for treatment. Cognitive behavioral therapy has proven to be very effective with anxiety disorders. Learning deep breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation would be very beneficial. Your behavioral health provider can also teach you to do imagery work when you are becoming anxious. Medications that can be used include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or other antidepressants as well as seizure medications. Of course it goes without saying that you need to have a nutritious diet, aerobic activity and to strive for eight hours of sleep per night. Talk with your psychiatrist and your therapist about which treatment modalities would be best for you. One of the most important things to remember is that your conditions will not go away over- night. You will need patience. At times you will take one step forward and two steps back; but that is the nature of the beast. Lots of baby steps can equal quite a distance in the end. Savor any victories in your progress- no matter how small. Good luck on your road to recovery. Respectfully, dr. Heidi fowler. ...Read moreSee 2 more doctor answers

Quodlibet is a lovely place to stay.
The rooms are clean, bright and modern and the breakfast is both fresh and plentiful. The owners Agostino and Gianluca are both very friendly and provided great advice and excellent service. The rooms are on the 4th floor, but there is a lift - so you don't have to walk. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Excellent accommodations and hospitality!
Agostino and Gianluca exceeded our expectations.
Everything went as planned. From the pick up from the airport to our departure back to the USA. When we arrived we were greeted with an assortment of pastries, fruits, breakfast meats and cappucino. They provided us assistance with making reservations for the various museums and to the other cities we visited. They treated us like family and we would definitely stay there again.
Our family of four stayed in a quadruple room and were very comfortable and clean. Quod Libet is centrally located to all the main attractions and in extremely short walking distance to the metro (train).
You will love this place and the hospitality of Agostino and Gianluca.

Two people were killed and 21 others injured in what may have been a gang-related shootout at a Toronto street party late on Monday evening, raising fears of violent retaliation in Canada's largest city.
In the second high-profile shooting in Toronto in less than two months, a 14-year-old girl and a 23-year-old man were killed. Police said a toddler was grazed by a bullet and is expected to recover, while another victim was in critical condition.
"We are very concerned, not only with the quick resolution and solving of this crime, but of the potential for retaliatory violence," Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair told a news conference at which he promised to step up police presence in response.
He said there was a "strong indication" of gang involvement in the incident. Two people exchanged gunfire at the party, where police had previously responded to noise complaints. One of the injured has been taken into custody as "a person of interest".
The shooting took place in suburban Scarborough, about 20km (15 miles) east of downtown.
It raised fears about gun violence in a city that takes pride in its relatively low crime rate compared with U.S. urban centers. Canada has very strict laws controlling the use of handguns, and violent crime is usually rare.
But barely six weeks ago, two people were killed and six wounded in a gang-related weekend shooting at the downtown Eaton Centre, one of Toronto's top tourist destinations.
One eyewitness told CityNews TV that the latest shooting took place at an annual barbecue block party that had been scheduled for Sunday and then moved to Monday after heavy weekend rainstorms. Police said hundreds of people were at the party when the shooting occurred.
"I am shocked and disgusted by this senseless act of violence," Toronto Mayor Rob Ford said in a statement.
Six weeks ago Ford described the downtown mall shooting where two people died as an isolated incident in "the safest city in the world".
"I can assure you, Toronto is not like Detroit," Ford told reporters on Tuesday.
The murders were the 27th and 28th this year in Toronto. Detroit, a far smaller U.S. city, had 184 murders by mid-July.

How can you buy surf wear online
Buying surf wear and swim suits online is regularly a challenging task. This is because these accessories are modernized by the producers in a frequent basis. You can easily find these updated and the new products online rather then finding them over smaller and local stores out there in your place. So before you buy all these accessories online, it is always suggested to check certain instructions and tricks get the appropriate surf accessories for you. Let's check them as under:
When you buy online, whether the surf wear or any other product online one thing you need to take care the most is the safety of your money. As payment is transferred virtually, you are supposed to make certain a fact that the shopping site you are dealing with occur to be genuine or not. There are lots of scam websites, which are seen fooling online consumers to a great degree by stealing their money and selling out rot stuff . Hence do remember to avoid such surf stores, which are not reputed or famous in the market rather consider only the competent and reputed one, which are recognized to deliver good quality products. One of the reputed and trustworthy online surf store is Salty Liquid.
Another worthy tip to consider while buying surf or beach dresses the online store you opt to buy these dresses online is famous for delivering the products on time. This is because online stores follow a special pattern, first you afford the product and then you see the same getting shipped at your given address, while in the case of brick and mortar store, things are simply the opposite. A legitimate online surf store relies on fast delivery courier services, which is an imperative element to be checked before you buy these products from any online store.
Last but not the least, a good surf shop can offer you or other customer promos. Usually all such brands are seen placing the older styles and designs on the sale so people who had missed these previous can very easily find the missing ones and that too at a low price. The fact of the matter is online stores frequently keep their prices low and inexpensive as they do not have any kind of overheads or taxes unlike the way you find over the brick and mortar store. This becomes one of the vital reasons why more and more consumers are buying the surf dress and accessories online.

Question: Southland s 7 11 stores consist mostly of independent franchisees Even though
Southland's 7-11 stores consist mostly of independent franchisees. Even though the franchisees are independent businesses, Southland is able to get detailed performance data on all phases of their operations on a daily basis. Franchisees that do not measure up to Southland's performance standards can be terminated on 72 hours' notice. Why do you think Southland is able to wield such strong control over information gathering from its 7-11 franchisees?

Located at the Grand Terrace Town Square, the new store will replace a nearby smaller Stater Bros. supermarket, which will close August 23rd. Stater Bros.' has served the Grand Terrace Community for over 37 years (since 1974).
"The Stater Bros. Supermarket Family built this new, modern and environmentally friendly Stater Bros. Supermarket to better serve our long-time Grand Terrace area Customers," said Jack H. Brown, chairman and CEO of Stater Bros.
At 44,000 sq. ft., the new state-of-the-art and environmentally friendly store is more than 72 percent larger than the existing Grand Terrace supermarket, with wider customer-friendly aisles and 40 percent more parking spaces.

Among the new environmentally friendly practices in the store are:
- Energy efficient refrigeration system that reduces carbon dioxide emissions (the equivalent of removing more than 250 automobiles off the road for one year) and includes display cases with LED lighting and glass doors.
- Energy efficient skylights to incorporate the use of natural day lighting and help the environment
- Recycling center located inside for customers to recycle paper and plastic grocery bags
- Earth-conscious consumer alternatives such as large grocery bags made with 100 percent recycled paper and reusable bags available for purchase

The Hangover Three is headed to Tijuana, Mexico06/08/2012
Let me start off by saying most film fans don't want The Hangover three, but money talks and The Hangover series has made a lot of it.
The Hangover was undoubtably the best Las Vegas buddy film of all time. It was a phenomenon. The film racked in a cool $277.3 million dollars states side, making it the highest grossing R-rated comedy in history. It pulled in another $190.1 million dollars overseas and a sequel was inevitable.
Everyone was back, the trailer looked halfway decent, but The Hangover 2 lost its magic. Still, the film made $254.4 million dollars domestically and a whopping $327 million dollars overseas. That put the Hanger over in elite company. The Hangover is a billion dollar franchise. So, part three makes sense, not in my eyes, because I thought part two sucked, but financially specking, it's a no brainer. Warner Brothers had to pull the trigger here. Especailly if all the familiar faces were in and they are.
But what will they do next? The did Vegas in grand style, flopped in Thailand, so what other wild town do the writers have in mind? Tijuana! Hey, many good film series' have had a dud. Lets hope Tijuana changes all of that. It's a great location for the comic crew. I know I sounded bitter above, but I'm rooting for this third installment. Just thinking of the wolfpack in Mexico, makes me laugh.
In Todd Phillips third installment Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Justin Bartha will all be returning, as they try to rescue Zach Galifianakis from a mental hospital. Oh, and rumor is, Mike Tyson will be back as well. Filming for The Hangover 3 starts next month and Warner Brothers is working towards a May 24th, 2013 release.

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17 i686) BuildID: 2001022705/2001022711 I downloaded the most recently nightly build, and found that the build ID reported is inconsistent. This makes it difficult to file consistent bug reports. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run "./mozilla --version" and note Build ID number in output. 2. Run "./mozilla" and note Build ID number in browser title bar. 3. Compare build ID numbers. Actual Results: The build ID numbers are different. Expected Results: The build ID numbers should be identical.

I'm seeing this sort of thing too.
Comment 2•

ooh, this is a beaut. I tried today's mozilla 2001-02-27-13 linux trunk build. --version reports 2001-02-27-05 titlebar reports 2001-02-27-14 dated directory reports 2001-02-27-13 This is bad. We really really should have one buildid for all three. This may be a duplicate of an existing bug, but the --version behavior is new to me. cc'ing leaf. I'm going to set m0.9 just because this has been biting us for so long it would be good to be finally done with it.
Comment 3•

i didn't even know we *had* a --version option! my bugs are all for windows inconsistencies... so this is probably not a dupe.
Yay...more fallout from bug 26798. The funny thing is that we do have a single variable that we use to set the date (with the exception of layout's gbdate.pl). --version uses NS_BUILD_ID which is set in config/nsBuildID.h . Whenever we build in config/ with BUILD_OFFICIAL set, the build_number will *always* be updated (if it will be different) causing nsBuildID.h to always be updated. What it looks like is that nsBuildID.h is being regenerated after xpfe/bootstrap/nsAppRunner.cpp is built. And I bet this is caused by the PSM builds. The psm build traverses config/ but not xpfe/.
Comment 5•

are we any closer to a fix for this?
Well, part of this problem will resolve itself when we switch to building psm2 as part of the build (still working on the win32 nss autoconf issues). Then the titlebar & datedir will be sync'd. I'll have to dig a bit to figure out the --version problem.
Jon, I'm not sure why your test showed --version being so far off but I downloaded today's gcc295 nightly and --version, the window title and the directory all matched up. Since we're still doing the separate pass for building psm2, I think there's still a chance it may be off in the future. It may depend upon the build machine. (gcc295 was done by myotonic).
Comment 8•
17 years ago
I'd be more interested in seeing what's happening with the 8am builds since I suspect part of the problem is due to depend builds and since the 4/5am and 8pm builds are full clobbers I wouldn't expect to see the problem there.
With the 2001-04-19-08 mozilla-i686 nightly, I'm seeing all of the version numbers being synced up as well. So we can either mark this fixed or slide it down to 0.9.1. We are still waiting for psm/nss to be intergrated into the normal build (post 0.9) which would avoid the second build pass. Right now, the datestamp offset appears to be contigent upon how long the 8am depend build takes and whether the subsequent psm depend build is also done in the 8 o'clock hour.
Comment 10•
17 years ago
I concur and don't see this problem with the most recent 2001-05-08-14 linux builds either. user agent buildid, titlebar buildid, --version, and date dir all show the same date/time. resolving.

Urethane caulk is often used by professional contractors and homeowners because of its durability and flexibility, and because it is water-resistant and can be painted. Urethane caulk will adhere to almost any surface, so you might find that it's been used in many areas of your home. If you're remodeling an area and replace the existing caulk with urethane caulk, you can paint the urethane caulk to match the adjacent surfaces.
Things You'll Need
- Cotton ball
- Rubbing alcohol
- Paint
Make sure the caulk has completely cured. Urethane caulks do not dry--they cure. Curing requires moisture in the air, so if you live in a very dry climate, you may have to wait several days to be certain the caulk has completely cured. At a minimum, you should wait two days before painting the caulk with water-based paint and seven days before painting the caulk with oil-based paints.
Dampen a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and wipe the caulk to remove dust and dirt. Allow the caulk to dry completely.
Paint the caulk with your selected paint. Allow the paint to dry completely before determining if you need to apply another coat of paint.
Tips & Warnings
- To speed up the drying process of urethane caulk in dry climates, place a humidifier in the room.
- It is nearly impossible to remove caulk from clothing, so be careful when handling it.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|5 nights
Sugar Beach is a beautiful, six-mile white sand beach on Maalaea Bay, long stretches of which are bordered by a large fresh-water bird sanctuary, Kealia National Wildlife Refuge. Sugar Beach Resort is located by the bird sanctuary. So it's ocean in front and open land in back. The heated swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi, and outdoor showers are all located in full view of the ocean. There are sunbathing areas on the sundeck by the pool and on the grassy lawn between the pool and the beach. There are also outdoor grills and outdoor dining tables. In the evening, grilling and socializing on the lawn by the ocean is a favorite activity at Sugar Beach Resort.
Our non-smoking, one-bedroom condo has a king-sized bed in the bedroom and a comfortable queen-sized sleeper sofa in the living room. It also has a fully equipped kitchen, so you can cook in or grill by the beach. Since the living room opens to a private lanai, you can take your meals on the lanai overlooking the ocean. Or you can eat at the fold-out table in the living room and still have an incredible view since the condo is all glass on the oceanfront side. And as an end-unit, the condo also has a large window that perfectly frames Haleakala, Maui's famed volcano.
We just replaced the living room TV with a brand new Samsung flat screen.
The bathroom and kitchen were renovated recently, and all the windows are new. Our condo is very well maintained and is professionally cleaned after each guest both because we want our guests to have a pleasant stay and because it's where we stay when we go to Maui. At our condo, you'll have everything you need to comfortably enjoy your vacation.
As a resort, there are a number of amenities on the property: a convenience store, Maui Sights & Treasures activities center, and a restaurant and pub called Dina's Sand Witch. The Sand Witch is great for lunch or a casual dinner, and it's actually a popular watering hole for the locals, so you don't even have to drive anywhere to have a fun night out on the town. When you do venture out, Sugar Beach Resort is centrally located for getting around the island. It's close to golf courses and snorkeling spots. There are numerous restaurants nearby, as well as shops and Hawaiian entertainment. At Sugar Beach Resort, you'll be perfectly situated to enjoy the tropical paradise that is Maui.
To see more photographs and read more about our condo, please go to our personal website at the link farther down on this page--it's below the Rate Details and above the Map & Owner's Profile.

This was a great condo. It was right on the beach in a quiet area. It is older but very well kept up and very clean. The kitchen was well stocked.
We had a great time.
We stayed here for the majority of our honeymoon and it was a great choice. The condo unit was nice and clean with a great lanai for checking out the views of the beach and ocean while eating breakfast. The complex itself was great, with a nice pool, BBQ area, and plenty of chairs and chaises. There's a sandwich place on the property as well as a souvenir store, and it's only a mile or so away from an ABC Store which has all the essentials.
The condo itself could probably use some updating but overall it was a really nice place to stay and felt very private. The location can't be beat if you're looking to do tours or excursions or even just check out other parts of the island. It was only a 10-15 minute drive from Kahului where the airport is, and just 10 minutes past that is Pa'ia Town, where the Road to Hana starts. It's also only about a half hour from Haleakala where we began a volcano sunset and stargazing tour, and a half hour from the Lahaina area which is a beautiful spot with lots of shops and restaurants. Wailea is 10-15 minutes south as well.
We had a fantastic stay here. Oceanfront is definitely the correct description for this condo. We really enjoyed spending time on the lanai...watching the longboat drills in the morning while drinking our coffee was a particular pleasure. And, of course, eating dinner and enjoying sunset was just amazing. The condo itself was very comfy and clean. The kitchen was well supplied with utensils and things needed for cooking our meals. The resort is an older property, but very clean and well kept. We enjoyed the pool and lounging on the grass that borders the beach. We highly recommend this property, and would stay here again.
The resort is clean and very well maintained, with great amenities such as a pool, hot tub, sandwich shop and a nice quiet beach.
The condo itself is everything you need, with an amazing ocean view, kitchen, washer/dryer, beach towels, beach umbrella, etc.
The owners were very accommodating for our travel plans, as they let us check out at 7pm for our late night flight. We'll be sure to stay here again!
This little condo is a huge plus! It was exactly what I thought. When we arrived they were ready for us, checked us in and gave us any additional info needed outside of what the owner provided. It was perfect! Great little kitchen with refrigerator, stove, microwave and dishwasher and all the cooking utensils you would need. Plates, silverware, coffee pot, wine glasses and probably more that I have yet to uncover. The bed was comfy with plenty of sheets and pillows should you need them. Shower was perfect and they had a small washer/dryer that worked well. Safeway about 4 miles away if you missed Costco on the way in. Perfect lanai to have breakfast in the morning and watch the fish jump. The beach is literally downstairs and right there! Did not use the pool except to check it out. Hot tub was definitely hot and ready to ease those muscles. This place is well kept and up to date. Thank you to the owners who keep it up to date. It was perfect and if anyone would like to ask any questions I am happy to tell you about our stay. The owner can give my number or email for contact info. Thank you for a great week! I hate to leave.
What you hope for in an Hawaiian vacation.

Only finalists will be personally notified. No personal emails will be sent to entrants who did not make the final 12. No entrants will be provided with scores or evaluations of their entries; it is not feasible at this time due to the number of entries.
On-site judges for the final round were lifelong songwriter Mark Brinkman; Berklee College of Music songwriting scholarship recipient Maya de Vitry, who is a member of The Stray Birds; and Joseph Terrell of Mipso and the 2014 winner of the CASC general category.
