Now you can look like you have a full size studio without spending $1,000′s of dollars on equipment. Here's what you will need to get professional results every time.
1. White seamless background — You can find white vinyl in 60″ widths at most craft stores very inexpensively. I would recommend 5ft wide by 10 ft long to start.

Earl Carpenter has a lengthy chat with John Hannam on Isle of Wight Radio. Interview aired Sunday, 3 February 2013 during the Southampton leg of The Phantom of the Opera UK Tour.
A lovely, long interview that touches upon Earl's varied career as both a performer and producer, his love for the Isle of Wight, his early days in amdram societies and rep theatre, and what the next chapter of his professional life holds. Includes a fantastic live rendition of "Stars" which I speculate comes from Friday Night is Music Night.
Fun fact: The role of the Auctioneer at the 25th Anniversary Performance at Royal Albert Hall was originally offered to Michael Crawford.


text: Prison Guard Pay Shut-down, Prisoner Pay, Not So Much by Dan Riehl 14 Oct 2013 post a comment Share This: Federal prison employees can't collect a paycheck during the government shutdown, but that doesn't mean the prisoners they guard have been forced to wait. A group of 100 guards at a federal prison camp in Yankton, S.D., still have to work in order to "protect human life and property," but will have to trust the government to make good on their promise to retroactively pay them. A two-tiered system allows for monies to be paid to inmates for "services rendered." The "inmates" may not be in charge of the proverbial asylum; however, some asylum's inmates may have had a hand in designing the type of pay system that would lead to this. In a cruel twist, the criminals locked up in the facility are still receiving their money for services rendered while they are in custody because there is a different funding tier for the prisoners' pay.

2013 will not be the year of the mobile wallet.
I received a note from a payments industry expert the other day, discussing hot topics for 2013. Ben Saren, vice president of marketing at payment processor Litle & Co., caught my attention on the subject of mobile wallets and mobile payments. He did not hold back. Here is what he had to say.
"People are never going to switch to mobile wallets as long as it's just as easy to pull out a credit card as it is to pull out your phone. There's no incentive to change the channel," Saren says. "Recent industry buzz would suggest that mobile payments and mobile wallet technologies are suddenly arriving on the scene. That is just not the case. This stuff has been around for a while. The problem is that no one has made the first move. Everyone is waiting on everyone else. Merchants are waiting for consumer adoption. Consumers are waiting for merchants to make the stuff available. Manufacturers are waiting for merchants to request the technology. And around we go."
Saren points to the high level of performance of the credit card networks as a primary hurdle for mobile payments.
"Consumers are not asking for this. We take for granted how easily and quickly we can pay for something with a piece of plastic," he says. "Love or hate the card networks, they have paved all of the highways and largely made them traffic-free. When you go to a retail location and buy something with a piece of plastic, the authorization happens in less than a second. That is absolutely outstanding. And in most cases, merchants see the settlement a mere hour later. So somebody needs to tell me how the system is broken today and why we need something else. I just don't see it. This one is not clicking for me, and I'm in the business."
Credit cards really are the culprit behind the lack of interest in mobile wallets and mobile payments. (Mind you, mobile payments in the form of consumers paying with credit and debit cards on m-commerce sites and mobile apps are doing just fine.) Mobile wallets today are not a better mousetrap, though to be fair, they are connected to the Internet in ways cards are not and can thus afford access to loyalty accounts and coupons.
When Near Field Communication, or NFC, wireless technology becomes prevalent on smartphones and cash registers enabling quick tap-and-go transactions, then maybe a better case can be made for mobile wallets. But even then, I doubt that will be any quicker than swiping a card. You'll still have to get your phone out of your pocket and turn it on, and perhaps launch an app.
Somewhere down the line, way down the line, I think making payments via smartphones will catch on, simply because of the central role smartphones are coming to have in people's lives. But that day will not come anytime soon due to a variety of hurdles, credit cards being perhaps the biggest. So beware the hype.

Liturgy is an American black metal band from Brooklyn, New York. Originally the solo project of Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, the band expanded to a four piece in 2008, after the release of the 12" Immortal Life, which was followed in 2009 with their debut album Renihilation. The group calls its style "transcendental black metal",[2][3] which is described in a declaration written by Hunt-Hendrix.[4] Hunter cites Swans, Glenn Branca, and Lightning Bolt as influences.[5]
The group's second album, Aesthethica, was released in May 2011 by Thrill Jockey, and was ranked as number 26 on Spin's 50 Best Albums of 2011.[6]
The group's front man, Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, is the grandchild of Texas oil tycoon H.L. Hunt. Adjusted for inflation, H.L. Hunt was worth approximately $4.7 billion when he died. It is unknown as to how much was inherited by Hunter Hunt-Hendrix. His parents, Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt, both have doctorate degrees. They make a living writing self-help books together.
In June 2014, drummer Greg Fox and bassist Tyler Dusenbury rejoined the band.[7]
Band members[edit]
- Current members
- Hunter Hunt-Hendrix – vocals, guitar
- Bernard Gann – guitar
- Greg Fox – drums
- Tyler Dusenbury – bass guitar
- Immortal Life 12" (Infinite Limbs, 2008)
- Renihilation (20 Buck Spin, 2009)
- "Split LP with Oval" (Thrill Jockey), 2011
- Aesthethica (Thrill Jockey, 2011)
Future releases[edit]
In a 2012 interview with Pitchfork Media, Hunter Hunt-Hendrix expressed his desire to move away from black metal on future releases in order to avoid "self-imitation", noting that Aesthethica's recognition "turns it into safe territory." He suggests that the next release could include bells or a focus on electronics.[8] In June 2014, it was revealed that the band will be releasing a third album in 2015.[7]

Advocates of the Reunite Haitian-American Families Campaign have achieved a significant victory in the Oct. 17 Department of Homeland Security announcement of a Haitian Family Reunification Parole Program (HFRPP). Prior to this federal announcement, longstanding support for FRPP grew from key national efforts like the Reunite Haitian American Families Campaign that is sponsored by the national coalition Black Immigration Network.

Gerald Perreira was yesterday told he must get off an aircraft in Antigua before the plane could take off. Perreira was on his way to Jamaica, where he had been invited by the Hon. Minister Louis Farrakhan to participate in the 19th anniversary of the Million Man March, on Oct. 19, at the National Arena in Kingston. He was told by the authorities in Antigua that he was removed from the flight because he had been refused permission to land in Jamaica.

Jean-Claude (Baby Doc) Duvalier, responsible for the death of thousands and the theft of millions, who moved openly in the society of Haitian elites protected by the government, died on Oct. 4 a free man. He reportedly suffered a heart attack at the home of an associate in a wealthy enclave above Port-au-Prince. Baby Doc may be dead, but Duvalierism is embedded in this upside down Haiti of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their presidential puppet, Michel Martelly.

If Haiti had friends in the U.S. Congress, they would ask the Obama administration to support human rights for the U.N. cholera victims and to put an end to the fictitious elections, ever since the United States started its direct occupation of Haiti by disenfranchising 10 million Haiti voters on Feb. 29, 2004.

Zapata's legacy of integrity, dignity, self-determination and emancipation rang loud and clear to many, not as simply a worthy cost of freedom but a call to duty, to fight and challenge for a deserved justice. Zapata and the EZLN generalized their plight. Exposure itself can be a force when successfully framed: "Circumstances create man as much as man creates his circumstances." As the vanguard, we must create ours.

During my last trip to Haiti this June with a delegation of students and human rights observers, we were exposed to the raw violence of the ongoing forced dispersal of the poor. On May 31, the Martelly regime intensified a process – in the name of "eminent domain" – of violently evicting the poor from their homes in downtown Port-au-Prince and then physically destroying their homes and businesses.

In March of 2011, I accompanied Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide on his trip home to Haiti following years of forced exile in South Africa. I did so in support of Haitian democracy and Aristide's civil rights, and in protest against my country's role in illegally removing him from power in 2004 and then preventing him from returning to his native land for seven long years. Today, Haitian democracy and the rights of Aristide are again under threat.
September 13, 2014
On Aug. 21, Haitian police wearing black masks and carrying heavy arms appeared in front of the home of former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide as a Haitian judge issued calls to arrest him. Hundreds of people courageously surrounded the house to protect him. One week before, President Aristide was summoned to court on false corruption charges. On Sept. 10, he was placed on house arrest and barred from leaving the country.
August 17, 2014
An urgent call from Haiti Action Committee – On Aug. 13, the Haitian government summoned former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide to court on corruption charges. This summons is part of a chilling pattern of repression aimed at destroying Aristide's political party, Fanmi Lavalas, as the country approaches new legislative elections. We denounce it in the strongest possible terms.

The unholy alliance between the Belizean governments both past and present with the occupiers of Palestinian land, the so-called state of Israel, is one of the biggest failures in Belize's foreign policy. It will surely go down as the disgraceful use of elitist power which defies our socio-historical experience, morality and diplomacy strategies. The modern state of Israel is a recent imposition.

I've been watching for days now as media reports display the growing hatred at the arrival of Central American children across the Mexican-U.S. border. American voices crackle with bile as they begin the drumbeat for their immediate deportation. They are refugees from want and war, almost all the result of U.S. interventions in Central America in support of murderous military governments and the mindless drug war.

The World Cup used to be a news item solely for the sports pages. Times have definitely changed! More than 30 billion Brazilian Reals ($13.5 billion) have been taken from the state budget to fund the Cup! In response, Juventude Marxista (Marxist Youth) are promoting the campaign "Public, Free and for Everyone! Transport, Health, and Education! Down with Repression!"

Demonization, animalization and criminalization of people of African and Indigenous descent are themes both deeply embedded and flagrantly visible in the culture and institutions of Venezuelan society. White supremacy endures in Venezuela, often resembling the United States and other settler colonial countries founded on conquest and slavery. The Bolivarian Revolution has seriously improved the lives of Venezuela's majority – who are people of color.

The recent revelations about the USAID's farfetched scheme to foster a popular anti-government protest movement by infiltrating Cuba's mobile phone network perhaps bring full circle America's 55-year campaign to destroy the Cuban Revolution. Fortunately for the people of Cuba, none of these bewildering, hairbrained and often violent schemes – which have included countless attacks on Cuban soil – have succeeded.
March 14, 2014
The Washington colonists are back in Haiti, re-enslaving. Bloodhounds have been set loose by the Washington puppet Haiti government on free Haitians at Île à Vache (Ile a Vache/Ilavach), who are fighting back. It's 2014, not 1704, but a bloody manhunt with hound dogs and weapons of war is let loose on the unarmed Île à Vache Haitians. These Haitians are descendants of enslaved Africans and freed U.S. Blacks.
March 12, 2014
On Feb. 12, Venezuelan Youth Day and the commemoration of the independence battle of La Victoria, some university students and traditional conservative opposition groups took to the streets in Venezuela. It quickly became obvious that the principal purpose of the protests was to destabilize the government and seek the ouster of the democratically elected president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro.
February 19, 2014
The U.S. Congress is being called to respect the sovereignty of Venezuela and the legitimate democratic Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The present U.S. policy towards Latin America is detrimental to our economy and self-interest. Venezuela is a country with an upstanding democracy, highly regarded in the international community and paid attention to in the U.S. amongst large portions of society.
January 31, 2014
On Friday, Jan. 17, it was reported by news agencies that a Haitian judge investigating the assassination of Jean Dominique, a crusading Haitian journalist who was killed in 2000, recommended the indictment of former Sen. Myrlande Liberis-Pavert, a founder and former director of the Aristide Foundation for Democracy, along with eight others. No legal documents to sustain these charges have been made public.

"Cuba is neither the hell that our enemies like to pretend it is nor the paradise that our friends wish it to be, but a country which struggles just like many others." This is the assessment of our Cuban tour guide during the last day of our 10-day, 10-person people to people visit to Cuba in December 2013, led by the mayor of Richmond, California, Gayle McLaughlin.

"Florida's infant mortality rate is at an all-time low," reports the Tampa Tribune. So is Cuba's, according to Prensa Latina.
In Miami, the infant mortality rate dropped from 6.4 out of every 1,000 live births in 2011 to 6 in 2013. "State health officials credit improved prenatal and infant health care for the good news," says the Tribune. By that measure, Cuba's prenatal and infant health care must be much better than Miami's, where 34 percent of the population is Cuban.

Today's post was enabled by Nip Swap, a blog on the bleeding edge of alcohol bartering and consumption. (It's a thing that happens at my office where we buy nips and then trade them every so often. Pretty great.)
In St. Patrick's Swap, I acquired a bottle of Glenlivet 15, French Oak Reserve, for a Grey Goose and a Bulleit Bourbon — some of you may say that was too steep a price, but I'm never gonna drink the Goose and I've had the Bulleit before, so whatever.
In the spirit of the container, today's review will be a short one.

How to Convince Your Parents to Get You Something
Ever asked your parents for something and they've said no? Read on for ways that might change that 'no' to a 'yes'. Dragooning your parents into tossing something into the shopping cart on your behalf may not work all the time, but once in a little while it's worth a shot, right?
1Behave well for a long time. Do your homework, do all your chores, try to get your best grades! Do anything they ask without complaining, and have a good attitude. It may sound like a lot of work, but keep in mind what you're trying to get in return. To do all this, just keep the mental picture of what you're getting in your head. Don't lose sight of the prize; Its pretty much the only thing that is keeping you going. If you do something impressive, like receiving good grades on your report card, then take the opportunity to ask them.Ad
2Explain to your parents how getting the item will benefit them, not how it benefits you. They probably already know you want a Nintendo DS to play games: tell them how it will make you quieter on road trips, or more willing to run errands.
3Pick a time when you know your parents are in a good mood, such as payday.
4Do not beg for what you want. If you continually ask, argue, or fight for whatever it is you want, your parents will likely be less than eager to help you. A good time to ask them is when they are happy, or when something good has recently happened to them. For example, if they have just received a gift from someone, they might be in a giving mood themselves.
5Ask for it for a gift such as at your birthday or for a holiday celebration. Parents are more likely to help you get what you want for one of these reasons (or another that you could think of).
6Don't yell. Parents hate that. Explain calmly what you want and the steps you're willing to take to earn it. The more polite and reasonable you are, the more likely it will be that your parents will listen.
7Mind your body language! Don't fold your arms, or slouch. Stand up straight, and smile. Even if your parents only pick it up subconsciously, this pleasant stance is reassuring and improves your chances of emerging from the discussion victorious.
8Stand your ground. Be firm, just don't overdo it. Don't yell,cry, slam doors, sulk, stomp or complain about their decision. Negotiation will always get you farther than a violent rebuttal. Tell them you are willing to work for it, and make sure you are sincere. Parents can usually tell when you don't plan to work, so if you aren't prepared to do your part, don't make the promise.
9Consider paying for part of it yourself. Most likely, your parents will appreciate that you would or even just the offer.
10If it is something that may have a side that can educate you, let them know!
11If all else fails, a good idea is to do something creative. For example, if you want a car, draw the car you want on a poster, or find a poster of the car and hang it up on a wall in a commonly visited area. Whenever you pass by it, draw attention to by rubbing it with polish, or filling up its gas tank. If your parents have a sense of humor, this can be very effective. Maybe even make a PowerPoint presentation!
12Get something for them that they have always wanted. For example, if your mom wanted a special perfume, get that for her. Tell them you paid for it all by yourself. Parents love that. They don't realize that you have your own money and that you can handle it responsibly. Then, when they are in a great mood, tell them what you would like to get.Ad
We could really use your help!
- Make sure they know that you really want it, so it doesn't seem like a waste of time or money if they follow though.
- Don't suddenly be extra nice. Most parents will see right through you. It may take more time, but it's better to gradually do more and more kind, helpful, or caring things.
- Make sure your parents trust you and believe you're responsible enough to handle what you're asking for.
- Try to wait a while after your parents said no. If you constantly ask there's a worse chance that your mom or dad will not get it for you.
- Be serious about paying what you say you'll pay.
- Ask them only once and don't raise your voice. Asking multiple times gets annoying and loud voices may stir up anger.
- Don't say "If you love me you will get me ___." Depending on what you are asking for, they might be refusing to get it to protect you. Furthermore, this is untrue, manipulative, and immature.
- Don't be afraid to compromise: would you rather get that game you wanted in exchange for extra chores, or not get the game at all?
- If the item you want is for a good cause, then emphasize that cause. Do not overdo it, just a simple, friendly, reminder will do.
- Make a list of why it's good to get.
- Donate something to charity or do something really nice for. someone or everyone. Being kind may make them want to be kind, too.
- If your parents are not giving in, be sure to act cool about it. Don't be like "I hate you!". That ruins your chance of getting anything else you want.
- Do not slam doors or have a negative attitude. Your parents will hate it and won't get you the item. Act in a positive attitude, even if they say no. If they say yes don't over react or else they will know you were probably planning something! Also, don't act like you're hurt so they will take pity on you. If you lie, parents just get mad and lose trust in you.
- Do not tell your parents you will pay if you know you can't, or next time they won't believe you.
- Make sure you review the item you want to get or else you may be shocked about the outcome.
- Don't annoy them or ask them over and over again or they will get really mad.
- Do not steal their money. That is the worst thing possible.
- Try to avoid acting like a "know it all" about the product, but rather state a few supporting facts about the product.
- Don't act as if you know more than them, they won't give you what you want.
- Don't hit them! That will give them stress and waste their time!
Things You'll Need
- Parents
- A thing you want
- A good time to tell them (preferably when they are relaxed and/or happy)
- A good reason to why you want this item
- Showing your love by giving small surprises/gifts.
- Patience
- Love (nothing is possible without it ;D)

Measure the height, width and depth of the fireplace with the tape measure. Write down these measurements to purchase a fireplace enclosure to fit the space. Most enclosures include a range of adjustments. Also measure the distance of the hearth as it extends into a room. The insert enclosure fits over the fireplace opening and cannot be of a thickness greater than the hearth itself.
How to Convert an Open-Faced Fireplace Into a Closed One
An open-faced fireplace consists of a firebox and hearth with a flue and chimney for diverting smoke and other hot gasses out of the building. Converting to a closed fireplace adds value and aesthetic appeal to a house by installing a fireplace insert over the opening. Inserts are available in a variety of styles and materials, from cast iron to highly polished brass with glass or metal doors. You need to measure the fireplace opening before purchasing an enclosure.
Things You'll Need
- Tape measure
- Dust pan and whisk broom
- Pliers
Remove any log grate in the fireplace and sweep out the interior with the whisk broom and dust pan.
Place the fireplace insert face-down on a flat surface and swing out the two bars that will extend into the fireplace on the left and right side. Lock the bars in the extended position by tightening the bolt in each with pliers.
Slide the two bars into the fireplace until the back of the insert is flush with the front of the fireplace.
Open the insert doors to tighten the tension bolt on the leftand right sides of the back of the insert. Each bolt screws clockwise into the side wall of the fireplace to hold the insert in place.
Rotate the three-sided clamp at the top inside of the fireplace insert so it is over the metal plate inside the fireplace at the top. This plate is known as the lintel. Turn the bolt on the clamp clockwise to lock the top of the insert onto the lintel. Tighten the bolt with pliers.
Replace the log grate and shut the doors on your new insert.

Chief Justice Lawton R. Nuss will give his State of the Kansas Judiciary address at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 22, from the courtroom of the Supreme Court in the Kansas Judicial Center, Topeka.
He will give the address to an invited audience that will include Kansas legislators, Judicial Branch employees and key constituent groups.
Chief Justice Nuss' State of the Judiciary address is believed to be the first in Kansas' 153-year history to be delivered from the courtroom of the Supreme Court.
Nuss decided to speak from the courtroom in part to make it available via webcast to address the public's heightened interest in an $8.25 million shortfall in the Judicial Branch base budget in fiscal year 2015, which begins July 1, 2014. Ninety-six percent of the Judicial Branch's budget is for salaries and wages. If the shortfall isn't solved, court employees will be sent home without pay—closing courts and impacting Kansans statewide.
Kansas law requires Nuss, as chief justice of the Supreme Court, to provide a written report at the beginning of the legislative session to the governor and to the judiciary committees of both houses of the Legislature. The written report will be delivered in addition to his State of the Kansas Judiciary address.

Latest news articles from Auditel Franchise on WhiteCollarFranchise. Explore news articles from Auditel Franchise from the most recent items going back through their full news archive of news updates.
This November over one hundred Auditel consultants gathered at Whittlebury Hall, near Towcester, for our annual National Conference, designed to inspire our Affiliates with their planning for 2010.
The theme for this year's event was 'Excellence through Leadership'. As usual, it was a packed day with presentations, workshops and quizzes, where hi-tec interactive handsets, as used in 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?', kept everyone on their toes. An excellent keynote speech was delivered by John Neal. He entertained and educated delegates in equal measure, with a thought-provoking presentation about the characteristics of successful leaders. John's experience includes advising the BBC, the England and West Indies Cricket Boards, the MCC at Lords and the RFU.
To round off the day, delegates enjoyed a black-tie gala dinner. Sponsors from our recent Supplier Exhibition joined us. During the evening, our charity raffle raised over £1,000 for the Tearfund organisation, which is helping those in poverty. Later, a number of awards were presented to Affiliates who have made particularly special contributions to the Auditel Network during 2009.
The 'Franchisee of the Year Award' was presented to Peter Lawrence, who joined Auditel in 2002, following a successful sales-oriented career which included fifteen years in IT. Two 'Rising Star' Awards were presented to Ruth Dawe and Laurence Fitch, and Denis Brennan. 'Newcomer of the Year Award' was presented to Peter Harrison. The 'Tim Rix Memorial Award' was presented to Alan Ford. A 'Special Contribution Award' was presented to our longest-serving Affiliate, David Lowe. The 'Consultants' Consultant Award' was determined by colleagues during the event voting with their 'clickers'! Their choice was Adrian Burton.
Our winners are at different stages in the development of their cost management practices. All have demonstrated professionalism, energy, enthusiasm, commitment and generosity of time, knowledge and spirit towards their colleagues throughout the year. They proved to be popular choices to receive these well-deserved accolades.
All in all, Conference 2009 was a very successful event, combining business and pleasure for consultants, invited guests and the head office team alike. It provided a fitting grand finale to our busiest and most successful year yet. Our consultants demonstrated how the application of specialist knowledge, energy and goodwill can reap benefits in these challenging times.

Airborne hot air balloon basket hits 3 cars on I-78 in Northampton County
An airborne hot air balloon doesn't sound like it'd cause much trouble, but tell that to three motorists who were on Interstate 78 last week.
State police said the balloon's basket was unsecured in the back of a pickup truck driven by Richard Bryant of Easton when the basket flew out of the pickup bed around mile marker 65.4 in the City of Bethlehem Wednesday around 3:30 p.m.
The basket was first hit by a car driven by John Nemetch of Allentown, police said.
The basket then became airborne and hit and broke the driver's side window of a van driven by Warren Nelson of Kutztown.
Then the basket landed on the hood of a car driven by Jenny Fernenez of Allentown.
Nelson was injured by broken glass, but refused treatment, police said.
State troopers from the Belfast barracks are investigating this crash.

'This is our 4th visit to the Orchid Suite and once again we loved it. We would not stay anywhere else. Thank you Anne & David for all you do to make this our home away from home! See you in 2011! Ken & Roseann K., Illinois. Here 21 days.

'Thanks for the fantastic place to stay. It was very comfortable, cool at night and quiet. Had a great time, adios! Steve & Toni O., Arizona
Guests' comments, February of 2010
'Mahalo for this accommodation. Can't think of anything we need that was not provided here. We always enjoy the Paia Fish Market, the Ono burger in particular and were not disapointed. We also liked the Flatbread restaurant and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good thin crust pizza. Stopwatch Bar and Grill in Makawao was a fun local stop, great burgers. Beyond the obvious beach visits, we loved the Ali'i Lavender Farm and the Maui Ocean Center. Oh yes, Komoda Store and Bakery in Makawao has great baked goods, don't miss the mac nut cookies!' Dick and Cheryl C., Sedona, Arizona

' Many mahalos for a wonderful stay. We celebrated 2 birthdays here and loved grilling fresh fish on the lanai. Kuau Cove is great for keikis and we loved exploring Paia and the upcountry towns. No wind for kitesurfing this week... but we will be back and try again!' Tonya, Dan, Slater and Lindsea, Portland, Oregon
Guest's comments, 5/20/09
'We've had a fabulous week here. Maui is gorgeous and the diving was fabulous. We saw 3 hammersharks while diving off Molokai with North Shore Explorers. Paia is adorable with all the cute shops and amazing eateries. We have been so grateful that we stayed here, away from the touristy side. All of the little extras like washer/dryer, laundry soap... have really made our stay over the top. Thank you so much. We will definitely recommend Kaiholo Hale to everyone we know.'

'The large swells filled our days on the water, while the Orchid Suite cozy atmosphere provided us with all the relaxing times we needed. A perfect location for our honeymoon!'

Guest's comments, 10/7/08
'Our family stayed in the rest of the house, but the Orchid Suite is where everyone wanted to be. The patio was perfect. We also spent some time at Baldwin Beach. Baldwin was perfect for everyone, not to crowded and very little coral for the swimmers. We had a blast in paradise!'
Tony and Lindsay, Indiana
Guest's comments, 8/10/08
'We found Kaiholo Hale to be ideally located for most of our activities. Clean, lots of space and all the conveniences of home (only better!). A short walk to Kuau Cove was great for the little ones (protected tide pools) and Paia has a 'small town' old Hawaiiana atmosphere. Just a short drive to upcountry and the all important Costco, Wallmart and Longs! We'll be back!'

About Margit Tolman
I frequently visit my sisiter who lives on Maui and I fell in love with the island and the life style. To own my place in paradise was my dream. Kaiholo Hale was an opportunity to have my own place on Maui I can reside as often as possible and continue the service Kaiholo Hale provided to visitors for many years as a vacation rental.
Margit Tolman purchased this apartment in 2013
Why Margit Tolman chose Paia
The North Shore of Maui is my favorite area to stay when visiting. Paia is the coolest town on Maui and is only a mile from Kaiholo Hale. The proximity to the beach and all the great restaurants that the North Shore has to offer made my decision pretty easy.
What makes this apartment unique
Staying at Kaiholo Hale gives my guests a chance to vacation away from the hustle and bustle of the South and West side tourist areas. Easy access to the airport, great local shopping and dining and of course the world class surfing and windsurfing at Hookipa Beach just a minutes drive or 5 minute walk. Only 1.5 hours to Hana or Haleakala Crater makes those trips easier and more enjoyable. Easy access to all the North Shore beaches just five minutes away. Every modern comfort is available with tasteful furnishings, great beds and everything you could need for a great vacation.
Guestbook comments from the manager
Thank you for a lovely stay! We loved the double shower in the en-suite bathroom. You have covered all conveniences for sure and our stay was very comfortable. Loved being close to my yoga centre in Haiku, will come again. PS, Thanks Anne for stopping by to allow for late check-out. Super! Thanks!

Roll Out the Barrel: Cask Aged Aurora Cigars
David Savona
Posted: July 27, 2007
Few cigars are made from tobacco aged in barrels, so the cigar men at Aurora S.A. think they have something special with their Aurora Corojo Oscuro Barrel Aged Cigar.
All of the tobacco used to make the cigar spends time in old oak barrels that once held Dominican rum. The idea is not to impart flavor to the cigar, but to keep the tobacco in a nearly sealed environment, concentrating the heat and the aging process.
"Last year we said, Let's put the wrapper in barrels for one year," says Jose Blanco, director of sales for the Santiago, Dominican Republic, company.
When they were opened, it smelled like heaven, said Blanco, and the tobacco "got real dark." Aurora already barrel-ages the tobacco used inside its Preferidos, 1495 and 100 Años cigars, but aging the wrapper as well is new for the company.
The Corojo Oscuro Barrel Aged Cigar will come in four sizes, retail for $6 to $9 and debut at the Retail Tobacco Dealers of America trade show in two weeks.
From the July 17 issue of Cigar Insider.

Things are starting to feel quite real now — this is really happening. I did my final read-through last week, using my Kindle to read my book and with my laptop open next to me to make any changes I felt necessary. Then I contacted my chosen editor and the book is with her now, and has been for a week.
I was VERY scared about this part of the editing process as it's the first time anyone other than myself would be reading my book. What if the story idea was rubbish, or the characters weak? Well, it'd be back to the drawing board.
I soon relaxed, though, as the emails back and forth between us have been very relaxed and friendly. She instantly put me at ease and I'm now quite excited to get her feedback. After reading the first few chapters, she said that the premise and characters are strong, but the description bogs the action down in places.
I was glad she said this, as I'd felt at times that my brain and fingers were speaking different languages. I could see the scenes in my head, but they weren't coming out on the page quite as I had hoped. Something was lost in translation, if you will! Still, with a bit of work, I'm hopeful that this will improve.
Earlier on this week I started thinking about the cover — or rather, I had absolutely no ideas whatsoever about the cover, other than knowing which designer I wanted to work with. Normally I know what I want, but I've been constantly drawing blanks. The only thing I know for certain is that the title is Red Threads, so maybe red should feature somewhere? Pathetic, I know.
The process of designing a cover is possibly a more nerve-wracking thing for me than working with an editor. I'm basically entrusting the entire first impressions of my book to a complete stranger. As a self-confessed control freak, that doesn't sit well with me. But my chosen designer's portfolio is fantastic, so I'm sure he will come up with a brilliant concept. Until I see it, though, the suspense is killing me!
On a positive note, he said in our initial emails that based on what I told him about the book, there's scope for plenty of different cover concepts. I'm glad he thinks so, because whilst I can be creative with words, the idea of being visually creative with shapes, colours and pictures has me stumped. I wouldn't know where to start. Still, I guess that's why my job doesn't revolve around graphics!
(By the way, I'm not deliberately being mysterious about the people I'm working with on my book. It just seems rude to talk about them when they're busy with my book, so I'm keeping it vague for now. I'll
name and shame recommend them later!)
On an entirely different note, I'm doing chicken wings for dinner tonight, and I can smell them cooking in the oven now. I'm cooking them in a cola glaze for the first time, so I'm interested to see how they turn out. The recipe had enough sugar in to warrant a trip to the dentist, but as cola is sweet enough on its own, I made the decision to leave it out. Instead, I added some fresh chilli (it's not exactly swapping like for like, I know, but we like food with a bit of a kick).
Anyway, seeing as I've digressed completely, I think it's time to leave it there. Have a great weekend everyone! :-)

'Figure for last year crosses 100, the highest in last 50 years'
The Pune division has the most corrupt officials in the state, according to a report prepared by the anti-corruption bureau. The figure for last year was 104 — the highest ever recorded in the last 50 years in the division. The division comprising Pune, Satara, Solapur, Kolhapur and Sangli districts has had the highest number of traps laid by the anti-corruption bureau last year.
With the yearly report being forwarded to the state government, the anti-corruption bureau which looks into the five districts said this was the "highest ever" recorded number of corruption cases.
"Last year, for the 104 cases registered, we have been able to arrest 152 government officials responsible for graft and have been able to collect a trap amount of Rs 17.49 lakh. We have shared the same with the government,'' said Superintendent of Police (ACB) Sarang Awad after submitting the yearly report.
Though the figures before touched 80, this year the department has recorded a huge upward swing and the total crossed the 100 mark.
"This is a matter of concern. Corruption is very high in the government sector and the figures highlight the same,'' he added. Last year, Mumbai, Thane and Pune, in that order came across as the most corrupt cities in the state and this year according to the conviction rate of officials, Pune tops the charts with 40 per cent conviction as against Mumbai's 20 per cent and Amravati and Nanded's 27 per cent.
An assessment of the conviction cases last year saw Mumbai division at 20 per cent, Thane and Nashik divisions at 15 per cent, Nagpur division at 18 per cent, Amravati division at 27 per cent, Aurangabad division at 28 per cent and Nanded division at 27 per cent which makes Pune to lead with 40 per cent conviction. "Of the total 90 cases which were up for hearing, 36 were convicted and 54 were acquitted,'' said an official. Last year, government officials convicted for graft in the state were 118, 376 were acquitted of the total 494 cases which make up the total percentage of 24 per cent. "The division is ahead of the state's conviction rate as well,'' added the official.
With extensive house search being conducted which helped recover Rs 16 crore this year, the anti-corruption bureau said a thorough monitoring system has been set up to find out

Late Tuesday night there was finally a move in the NBA free agency period. No, it was not LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony, but it was Gordon Hayward.
Gordon Hayward is planning to sign a maximum offer sheet with the Charlotte Hornets, reported by the Charlotte Observer:
Gordon Hayward will sign a major offer sheet with the Hornets.
— Rick Bonnell (@rick_bonnell) July 9, 2014
The deal is worth $63 million dollars over a 4 year period. Utah has 3 days to match the offer, but it seems the Jazz will match the offer.
That is a big contract. Personally I was hoping Charlotte would sign Hayward, but is he worth $63 million? I am not sure. But could Charlotte use Hayward's services? Absolutely.
A lot of people thought Charlotte over-payed Al Jefferson last off-season, but that proved to not be the case. Al Jefferson was able to make Third-team All-NBA, is it possible to be over-paying someone who made All-NBA?
Last season with the Utah Jazz Gordon Hayward averaged 16 points per game, along with 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Those stats aren't max-contract worthy, but Hayward has room for improvement. He will have a better supporting cast with Charlotte than he had with Utah last year, so that should be a help.
Al Jefferson and Gordon Hayward were teammates a few years ago when Jefferson played for the Jazz, so Gordon will already have a friend on the team if Utah decides not to match the offer.
What do you think? Is Gordon Hayward worth $63 million over 4 years? Let your voice be heard in the comment section below!

Last Call
So I've been home for about two and a half weeks now. Been meaning to get some thoughts out.
The day after I got home, I went for a long walk in my home town. Down to the pier and up to Peace Arch park, both of which I've been to dozens and dozens of times. I sat by the water, then I sat on the Peace Arch. I talked (via the glorious internet) to one of my housemates who was still traveling at the time, got a sweet sunburn, and didn't want to go home. I noticed that I was still in picture-taking mode whenever I saw something beautiful—I saw a lot of beautiful things that day.
Settling back into life at home has been just about as strange as I thought it would be. I'm in the house I grew up in once more, surrounded by too many things. I took one suitcase of things with me to Oxford, and it was nice to live simply. I need to get rid of all my stuff.
Going back to work wasn't easy, but it had to be done. I work at a State Park as a Park Aide, which means lots of bathroom cleaning, litter pick-up lawn mowing and generally fighting against the havoc that guests, nature, and time can wreak on the park. We have a good crew this year, and I enjoy working with them.
When I went down to PLU to visit some friends less than a week after I got home, I noticed that so much of what I had to say to them was just one Oxford story after another. I hope they'll be patient with me. I'll be patient with them when they get back from studying away.
I miss Oxford very much. At first I don't really think I missed it, mostly because it sort of felt like I was still there. Or rather, that I should still be there, and I couldn't really get my head wrapped around the reality of being back home. Now, I just miss it. Not all aspects of it, of course! I'm glad I'm taking a break from school right now, and glad that I don't have to deal with housemate drama anymore. But I miss the city itself, I miss going for walks, I miss Port Meadow, and I miss the easy routine of happy interactions with my housemates.
That being said, I'm home, I'm here, I'm living in the moment and soaking up the Washington sunshine. I spend as much time outside as I can stand, and am working on cleaning up my room and simplifying my life. I look back with happy memories, and look forward expectantly, knowing that I am better for the six months I spent abroad.

Grover Norquist, Enemy of the State? | Alternet
It's as I have explained before. Grover Norquist does not have the right to set law in the United States. Furthermore, it is against the law for any American citizen to have as being more important any agenda, public or private than the Constitution of the United States or their duty to protect and defend the Constitution with their life. That is the law of the United States.
Grover Norquist is in fact attempting to subvert the Constitution as I said before, by virtue of the fact that he is forcing members of Congress to in fact forsake their oath of office in order to pledge allegiance to and swear to defend a private monetary agreement in the framework of the tax pledge.
Furthermore, this is of course causing members of Congress who have signed that tax pledge to be practicing legally the condition known as nonfeasance. Not to mention the fact that every member of Congress who in fact has supported or is supporting that agreement is in fact violating their legal duty to have their oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution as being more important than any other agenda. And we know that is not true because certain members of Congress are putting more importance on this agenda which is a nonconstitutional measure and a non-legal measure and a non-binding measure than they are with their constitutional legal duty to protect and defend the Constitution.
Furthermore, by virtue of the fact that the members of Congress are not able to guarantee that every aspect of their constituencies is in support of that tax pledge, by virtue of the fact that the records with the board of elections and the US Census Bureau firmly certify that not every member of any of the members of Congress who are supporting this tax pledge actually supports. Those members of Congress. Meaning that there are members of every single member of Congress who has supported the tax pledge in their constituencies who did not vote for those members of Congress and who are not supporting that tax pledge.
And that means any member of Congress who is supporting the tax pledge more than their duty to protect and defend the Constitution is guilty under constitutional law of the felony of not providing adequate representation for their constituents equally under the law as prescribed by constitutional law.
This of course raises the condition known as no taxation without representation.
But there are numbers of members in every constituency of all of the members of Congress who have supported and you are supporting this tax pledge who do not support the tax pledge and you are not getting adequate representation. Because members of Congress are supporting the tax pledge instead of representing the constituencies equally as they required to do by federal law.
These conditions are, of course, setting up the federal condition known as seditious behavior. And it is important to understand that Congressman Traficant was found guilty by the Republican Party and the court system in the United States for doing this exact same thing. He compromised his oath of office in favor of supporting and defending a private monetary agreement and this resulted in traffic and being found guilty of federal crimes and sent to prison.
So why is it that Grover Norquist and the members of Congress who are doing exactly the same thing is Congressman Traficant. Meaning they are committing the same crime. And yet no one is either accusing them or demanding that the same federal penalties be applied to them that were applied to Congressman Traficant.
And that of course means that the members of Congress who are supporting this tax pledge are in fact violating constitutional law once again because they are setting themselves up above the people and above Congressman Traficant which they are not allowed to do under constitutional law.
So the end result is very clear. I'm calling on all like-minded American citizens in this country who believe in the Constitution as a rule of law and United States of America to contact the Department of Justice and demand an immediate investigation into Grover Norquist and every member of Congress who is supporting the tax pledge and who refuses to turn away from that tax pledge in order to do and to fulfill their duty as required of them by constitutional law. The Republican Party and the tea party have to understand that whether they like it or not. It is illegal for them to place more importance on a financial agreement. Then their duty to protect and defend the Constitution and by all evidence of their own free will actions. They are not doing that.
As I've said before, United States of America is a nation of laws. The law of this nation is the Constitution of these United States. Not any private economic agreement in the framework of this tax pledge, or in any other manner. The rule of law is the Constitution of these United States. If the Republican Party and the tea party can't put up and shut up and do their job as prescribed to them under constitutional law. Then they at the very least should be subject to investigation exactly the way they treated Congressman Traficant. Because all things are equal under the law, according to constitutional law. And in addition to that the members of Congress are not allowed under constitutional law and federal law to ever set themselves up above the people which is exactly what they are doing. By refusing to support and defend the Constitution as being more important than their private economic agreement that they have made with Grover Norquist, which is in the framework of a tax pledge.
And of course this shows very clearly that Grover Norquist and members of the Republican Party the tea party are actively engaged in an attempt to subvert the Constitution of the United States and to attack the American government and to steal from the American people. Because they are claiming that the tax pledge is more importance to them. Then their duty as prescribed by federal and constitutional law.
The members of Congress don't have that right. They serve at the discretion of the general public. We are their employers. And they have careful laws guiding their activity. The first being that they are required to fulfill their oath of office. They cannot do that when they are in fact supporting a private monetary agreement in the framework of this tax pledge rather than to support and defend the Constitution of these United States.
United States as I said, is a nation of laws. And the law. This country is the Constitution. And when United States is no longer based upon the Constitution United States won't be the United States anymore.
Contact the Department of Justice now and demand an immediate investigation into Grover Norquist, the Republican Party and the tea party pursuant to this private economic agreement in the framework of this tax pledge.
