Our stay at Kona Magic Sands were just amazing! Jerry and Alice are really caring hosts and gave us all necessary information upon arrival! When we came into the condo it was just perfect. We were welcomed with fresh flowers and a warm notice from Alice and Jerry on the table. From the very first beginning we felt home. The condo itself was clean and very well equiped. Even snorkling gear, body boards and other useful beach equipment are available. The condo is perfectly located: it is right next to the beautiful magic sands beach and the kuhaluu beach park which is one of the best snorkling area on the island and well known for surfing. We definetly recommand staying in Alice and Jerrys condo and will come back when we are back on the island. Mahalo!
Mona2015-04-09T00:00:00ZEverything was fabulous. We loved staying at this condo. It was convenient to town, the beaches and the highway. We loved the view and loved listening to the ocean right out our window. Everything was clean. The kitchen was useful, we bought some things at the market and ate in for breakfast. Very relaxing.
Sarah2016-11-17T00:00:00ZWe had a great time at Jerry and Alice's condo =) The location for us was perfect. Close enough to town to be convenient, but not close enough to be noisy. Any sounds you might hear are from neighbors or the road are drowned out by the sound of waves crashing. We walked in to a very clean condo with fresh cut flowers and avocados from their garden waiting for us. The only downside is the size of the hot water heater allows for, at best, a 5-8 minute warm shower. This won't stop us from staying here again if we decide to visit the big island a second time!
Andre2016-11-29T00:00:00ZThe condo of Alice and Jerry is a really nice place to stay. Directly view to the sea, the magic sands beach only a few steps away. The moment we arrived Alice gave us a friendly welcome by telephone. She gave us many informations about restaurants and food stores, just everything to feel good. In one word: wonderful!
Sabine2014-08-04T00:00:00ZAloha Alice und Jerry, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in eurer Wohnung. Sie war sauber und sehr schön! Wir haben uns gefreut, dass wir dich und Jerry noch gesehen haben. Ganz herzlichen Dank Evelyn & Waltraud
Evelyn2016-02-14T00:00:00ZThis condo surpassed all of our expectations, safe, secure, tidy, well appointed but most of all in a stunning location. While eating breakfast we saw whales, turtles, spinner dolphins and amazing fish, out the balcony sliding doors. The time spent sipping Kona Coffee, enjoying the fantastic, ever changing views from this condo were THE highlight of our trip! We will be back! Perfect for a couple!
Mike2014-01-11T00:00:00ZThe condo is just great! The view right from the table is marvellous. The beach cooler was very helpful for bringing cool water on our trips. Alice was quick to respond when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the condo. If you stay there just make sure to thoroughly block the door or take the key with you when you're going outside quickly. If you're going to the Big Island, this is the place to stay!
Michael2016-05-29T00:00:00ZWir haben mit unserem 4-jährigen Sohn 5 sehr schöne Tage im Condo von Alice und Jerry verbracht. Die Lage direkt am Meer ist wunderbar. Wir sind oft am offenen Fenster gesessen und haben den Blick auf das weite Meer genossen (wir haben auch Delfine gesehen!). Unser Sohn hat Stunden im warmen Pool verbracht und abends haben wir den vorhandenen Grill sehr geschätzt. Die vorhandene Beach-Ausstattung (Bodyboards, Sonnenschirm, Schnorchelutensilien) haben wir ebenfalls sehr geschätzt. Jerry und Alice sind sehr freundliche Vermieter. Wir würden bei unserem nächsten Besuch wieder in ihrem Condo übernachten und können diesen sehr empfehlen.

Wir hatten einen tollen und unvergesslichen Aufenthalt bei Louis, Michael und deren 4 Hunde. Das Apartment ist toll, ein wunderbarer Ausblick auf das Meer mit viel Ruhe. Das Motto des Apartments ist klein aber fein. Tolle Einrichtung, sehr geschmackvoll und sauber. Alles was wichtig ist (Shopping) ist in der Nähe. Michael & Louis waren sensationelle Gastgeber mit denen wir sehr schnell ins Gespräch gekommen sind. Sie haben uns alle wichtigen Tipps und Secrets mitgegeben. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und empfehlen es jedem, wir würden jederzeit gerne wiederkommen. Wir waren als Pärchen unterwegs. We miss you guys. Martin & Tanja
Martin2016-08-18T00:00:00ZOur stay was truly fantastic. Louis and Michael were gracious and helpful hosts, the location was perfect for this part of the island, and the space was really nice and comfortable. They even had snorkeling equipment and beach umbrellas available for guests to use (we recommend nearby Kahaluu Beach Park and Kealakekua Bay for snorkeling).
Alan2016-07-18T00:00:00ZWe had a great time during our stay of 7 days. Louis and Michael were very friendly and they had good suggestions. Location is perfect to explore the whole Kona coast. The sunset view was amazing!
Berra2016-08-29T00:00:00ZThe apartment is as described and features a separate staircase and lanai (balcony). While the apartment itself is not really big enough to eat in there, you want to use the lanai for this in any case, because of the great view of the ocean and the sunset. But you should be aware of the bugs and use the provided insect repellent. The apartment itself has insect screen mesh. The bathroom is really huge. The hosts made us feel very welcome (including a nice fruit basket on arrival), were always helpful and accommodating in all regards and their restaurant tips were spot-on. In case you are worried about the four dogs: they are friendly, do not make any noise at night and are never allowed to enter the apartment.
Esther2015-07-05T00:00:00ZThe Ohana Suite is exactly as described and the views from the lanai are stunning! The neighborhood is a close drive from the main drag in Kona and near a lovely trail that we walked along every morning. Louis and Michael were very welcoming and hospitable. The suite had everything we needed - they even provided coffee, tea and a pineapple when we arrived. There are fantastic guide books available in the suite (we loved The Big Island Revealed, as recommended by Louis - it was our bible the whole trip). There were also beach towels and beach gear that we could borrow, which made our beach days that much better. Overall, we had an amazing time staying here and can't recommend it enough to others! Mahalo, Louis and Michael!
Kristyn2016-05-22T00:00:00ZThis is a sweet apartment in a quiet neighborhood with great ocean views. It is furnished very tastefully and everything is super clean. Our hosts who live in the other part of the house were kind, informative and overall delightful people. The studio apartment itself is small as described so there is no stovetop or full size refrigerator. But it worked well for us. This is a great value!
Gabrielle and Mahmoud2016-08-13T00:00:00ZWhat an amazing place to stay! The room was exactly as described, and the view from the lanai was even more spectacular than the pictures can capture. Louis and Michael were perfect hosts, checking in just often enough to ensure that our trip went smoothly. I'd definitely recommend this listing to anyone looking for a place to stay in Kona.
Benjamin2016-06-02T00:00:00ZThe best airbnb we've ever had. Michael welcomed as and gave us all the information we needed. The flat is very cozy and arranged with love for detail. The best: it has a great terrace with ocean view and barbecue...! We just loved hanging out and relax there. Very good snorkelling and beaches within 30 min drive, perfect for exploring the west coast. Michael and Louis are just fabulous hosts - so friendly and caring, we would have loved to stay longer.

Khammoui's place was amazing!! The bed is large and heavenly soft, great decor and comfy furniture. Location is perfect to Kona and peaceful. The pool is right up against crashing waves of light blue ocean. Wish we could have stayed longer!
Arielle2017-03-07T00:00:00ZThis condo is immaculate, clean and well cared for. The furnishings are tasteful and the furniture is comfortable. The kitchen is expertly stocked for cooking nightly. There are plenty of extras (laundry soap, toiletries, beach accessories, coolers, spices) not typically found in rental condos. The complex laundry room features clean machines that are inexpensive to use. The condo is located just far enough away from the shops and restaurants. It affords you the opportunity to feel like a local. Walking to dinner at Huggo's is a quick 10 minutes and Ali'i has plenty of shoulder to make it safe. It is a perfect 5k run from this unit to the Kailua Pier and back which I appreciated! To be clear, because there was confusion for me, the unit is not oceanfront; the pool is oceanfront and is located at the far end of the parking lot and is also not visible from the unit. The unit is surrounded by parking spots on both sides and has partial ocean views. Note the parking lots were quiet and did not impact the quality of sleep. Overall, I would absolutely and without hesitation recommend this condo. It truly is a bargain.

Jim welcomed us after giving us time to settle in. He was a fantastic host with a lot of knowledge to offer about the area. The house is beautiful with a spectacular view and amazing sunsets! The only thing we were missing was a blender and Jim quickly brought his to use for our stay! He said he be buying one for the unit as well. The outdoor shower was great, we all used it. I can't say enough wonderful things about our stay! I highly recommend this lovely location.
Tara2017-01-06T00:00:00ZJim is one of the most gracious and hospitable hosts we've stayed with. He thinks ahead of the details you'll need to make your visit both pleasant and successful. His home is a complete treat, both in location (mere blocks from the ocean) and amenities (we're already having withdrawals from the view on his fantastic lanai). It's hard to do much better. We'd stay again in a heartbeat. Thanks Jim!
Clayton2016-12-22T00:00:00ZThis place is awesome! Very spacious, clean, beautiful view of ocean, close to everything and friendly people. Our family of 6 had a great time.
Shanel2017-01-28T00:00:00ZJim was very helpful and provided driving directions from Kona Airport to the property and information to local stores, restaurants and beaches. The 3 bed 2 bath second story flat is beautifully decorated and with the large lanai offered our family a truly relaxing, fun vacation, together. Of course, the panoramic view of the ocean was simply lovely!
Sandra2017-02-28T00:00:00ZWhat a wonderful place to stay at. We had the best time of our life enjoying the awesome view from the large terrace, the spacious rooms with the two great bathrooms and the very well furnished kitchen. Jim spoiled us with his wonderful Kona coffee. We also appreciated the beach furniture and had a splendid time on different beaches.
Kathrin2017-03-05T00:00:00ZJim was a fantastic host and his rental property was great. It was clean and well appointed. There were lots of extra towels and blankets. The kitchen was spotless and the coffee was perfect. We hope to visit at Christmas 2017. Highly recommended
Keith2017-01-03T00:00:00ZBrand new spacious apartment with upscale amenities. Lanai is big and perfectly situated at an elevation facing West to enjoy the most beautiful sun setting in the ocean with nothing to block the view.
Sanjay2017-02-18T00:00:00ZTHIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC! We had a fabulous time in Kona, and this home and host James' warm welcome had a lot to with it. It's a beautiful place with a lovely view. My favorite place is the covered patio, where I loved the songbirds, warm breeze and the glory of the tropics! It's in a mostly residential neighborhood, yet close to quaint shops and everything you need. I loved the marketplace, THE FOOD, the fishing, the drinks, the resorts AND THE HULA!! The home has a washer/drier and great wifi. The town has flowers, charm, history, culture, Walmart and Costco!

Wow! Amazing comfortable ocean front property with all the comforts of home. Owner was very personable and helpful with any questions we had. Would stay here again.
cody2016-05-04T00:00:00ZDeborah was very responsive and made our check-in & check-out very easy. Beautiful and clean, well-maintained, fully stocked home right on the ocean was very comfortable! The traffic noise on Alli Drive was a bit louder than expected for a light sleeper.
Kathy2016-08-21T00:00:00ZDeborah was very helpful with my questions prior to arrival. The house is super nice and watching sunset from the Jacuzzi is nothing short of spectacular. We had a great time and hope to return. :)
Dave2016-07-21T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful stay! The location was even better than expected from the photos. We spent many hours just lounging on the patio enjoying the ocean view, and hopping over the lava to the nearby beach. Debbi was helpful and local property managers were available as well. I wouldn't be surprised if we come back some day.
Hannah2016-09-12T00:00:00ZWow ! Wow!! Wow!! What a Magical Place! The home's old Hawaii charm and Location were impeccable ! Cary and I can not say enough about Deborah's attention to detail. The home and the view are priceless! We never wanted to leave ! Mahalo Nui Loa for sharing with is. Much Much Aloha Always ! Troy and Cary
Troy2016-12-19T00:00:00ZA great experience! The house is in a great location, down the street from downtown Kailua. Far enough to not get noise from the restaurants bars etc. The view is beautiful and nice yard. This was a family get together without little ones, but the yard and house would work for that too. Nice kitchen and well appointed. Deborah's on island team checked in with us and were very nice. In comparing this against hotels a great value, we went out to lunch and cooked dinners at the house. Frankly, I would have loved to have stayed another week! We highly recommend this great place!
Randal2016-11-15T00:00:00ZWe would have stayed at this place even longer if they didn't have prior engagements. We absolutely loved the location, the AC, and the hot tub for sunset. We couldn't give this place a better review.
Anna2016-07-01T00:00:00ZMy husband and I just spent our 20th there for 8 days and it couldn't have been a more perfect experience for us. The home was even more than we expected! Right on the ocean, gorgeous sunsets each evening, close little beach ,everything we could need a close drive away. Such a cute home. It was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook with, which we definitely took advantage of. Very clean and well maintained. An incredible value. We were amazed! Thank you, Debi!!!

Very nice place, we are very happy with the owners. Them attention it was fantastic. The room and the services breakfast, wifi, technological services was perfect.
Juan Ildefonso2016-07-14T00:00:00ZCharlie was great host and room which he provided to us was very tidy and clean and cozy :) we reccomend this accomodation in kona :)
Lucia2016-12-14T00:00:00ZThis is a wonderful room in a lovely house. Charlie is a fantastic host, the room is beautifully appointed, extremely comfortable bed and immaculately clean. Coffee/tea, snacks, cold water provided - 100% recommended! Don't even hesitate is this booking is available!
Dirk2017-01-11T00:00:00ZWe had a very short stay at Charlie and Joanne's house due to an early flight but we were really amazed by Charlie and Joanne's "5 stars" welcome ! They are wonderful people and Joanne even woke up at 4.30 am to greet us before leaving and make sure everything was ok ! The house and the bedromm were very nice and clean ! Thank you Charlie and Joanne !
Carole2016-11-12T00:00:00ZSuper clean, key that locks the room, easy access to town, and really quiet! Perfect for a short stay in Kona :)
Natalie2017-01-17T00:00:00ZI cannot begin to describe how good this place is. Other reviews say that it's like a 5 star hotel and i could not agree more. Everything is so perfect and clean and every detail is so perfect. I particularly loved the bath mat. It is so soft that i just wanted to stay there. Charlie and Joanne were also very helpful giving me tips on where to go and what to do. I really felt welcomed
Claudia2016-11-17T00:00:00ZOur stay was lovely. Charlie greeted us when we arrived, showed us around and welcomed us with some local goodies! We only shared a bathroom with another guest - they have 2 air bnb guests rooms (I thought we'd be sharing a bathroom with the hosts, so that was nice we had more privacy). Location is very central, less than 10 mins to Ali'i. Definitely recommened!
Fallon2016-11-15T00:00:00ZI highly recommend Joanne and Charlie as hosts. We had a wonderful stay and they let us use their beach chairs, fins, and face mask. Very quite and comfortable. Also very clean. Mahalo

Marc is very friendly and outgoing. The unit is as depicted -- a clean, spacious room with exactly what is shown in the photos. With a strong wifi signal and the outdoor kitchen and laundry facilities, I had everything I needed. In addition, the in-room field guides for Hawaiian birds, flowers, and reefs were much appreciated. The location is decent in that the beach-walk area of Kona Town is not too far away and the uphill walk back is not too steep. But in general, I did not feel entirely safe (even though Marc said it is the safest neighborhood he has ever lived in). It was also very noisy, both in the neighborhood and at the house. These issues coupled with the fact that it is easy to trip on the small step up from the bedroom into the bathroom has made me decide that -- although I made it work -- this listing was not really a good fit for me.
Amy2016-04-10T00:00:00ZWir haben unsere erste Airbnb Nacht ever bei Marc verbracht.Wir kamen gegen halb 10 Abends an. Marc ist total relaxed und wir durften uns sogar an seinem kühlen Bier bedienen - ein Geschenk nach einem 20h Tag. Wir können die Unterkunft weiter empfehlen. Thanks a lot!! Was great !!
Christian2017-01-20T00:00:00ZMarc and Penny welcomed us generously and provided lots of fruit and coconut water as well as use of snorkeling gear and body boards. They even washed our dishes (no sink available in the cooking area) which was very sweet! The room and bathroom were clean, the bed comfortable but the curtains above the bed need a bit of repair because someone cut holes in them.
Jennifer2016-02-26T00:00:00ZMarc is a super friendly and very helpful host. The room had everything we needed.
Bas2016-04-09T00:00:00ZWe had a really great time staying there. Marc prepared some equipments for marine sports, and he provided us fresh coconut juice! And the place was 5 minutes walk to Kona downtown. It was very convenient. Besides Marc and his wife were kind to us, so we felt confortable to stay there, too.
Mikiko2016-09-26T00:00:00ZHe wrote an E-Mail before. Always a nice contact. The neighbors were friendly too. No reason to complain.
Eric2016-06-23T00:00:00ZWonderful house~Marc gave us a big welcome with fresh coconut and fruit popsicle. I love his Popsicle, really fruit. And the room is clean and spacious with local decoration and private bathroom. The location is near Main Street and we can get food easily. They make unique t-shirts and bikinis. I bought some bikinis, pretty cool.I can make it into different styles~~ Mahalo, Marc and Pennie!
haoran2015-12-21T00:00:00ZMarc and his wife were very gracious hosts! They happily gave us recommendations and were always available for our questions. We were also able to do laundry on site. Room was tidy and clean. Would recommend.

don't hesitate! it's the best! great place, great people.
julie2017-02-23T00:00:00ZReally enjoyed our stay at this private detached studio in a quiet neighborhood! Cecilia and Bill accommodated our early check-in and gave us a warm welcome and recommendations on what to do on the island. There are snacks, coffee, tea and bottled water in the room - very considerate hosts :) There isn't a kitchen but the fridge, microwave, cutting board + knife, utensils and plates made it very easy for us to enjoy a simple meal (local pineapple, papaya, avocado, etc... and Poke! Delicious.) For snorkelers without their own gear, there are mask+snorkel sets for you to borrow. We have our own gear but I borrowed the anti-fog solution and it was really handy since we do our own snorkeling without joining tours. Just make sure you put everything back after use as everything is arranged so neatly - I can see the hosts put efforts in the details :) I forgot to pack a beach towel with me, and was nicely surprised to see they put two big beach towels in a basket in the room (apart from the set of shower towels). The drive way is a bit steep but that's pretty normal in the hilly big island. There are beaches within walking distance and the drag in town center is a very short drive away. You can find a binder in the room with lots of info regarding your stay and pages of details on the places to visit/eat/etc. - very thoughtful and helpful. If you still have questions, I'm sure Cecilia and Bill can give you good recommendations! Would definitely stay again if I go back to big island sometime! (would love to go back)
Man2016-12-22T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed the smal appartement. Everything is clean and lovely. There is a BBQ to use. You need a car to get to the main center or you walk 45 min. The Beach is 5 min by car away. The host is so friendly and gave us a lot oft interresting tips and tours to do. Big Hawaii has a lot oft nice beaches, good snorkeling places and you can swim with dolphins with a litle bit luck.
Kerstin2017-02-06T00:00:00ZI recommend anyone to stay here, the place is especially good for couples or singles. I stayed in the Mauka side detached studio which was the perfect size for my boyfriend and I. The studio was equipped with a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, sink, comfortable bed, ceiling fan, and a separate bathroom which also served as a closet for a longer stay. Bill and Cecilia also provide beach towels, beach mats, shampoo & conditioner and soap. They also have a cooler, beach chairs, snorkel gear, a boogie board, some pool noodles, and a major plus--laundry! The studio itself is about a 5-10 minute drive from downtown. The hosts are extremely accommodating! Bill and Cecilia go out of their way to make sure your trip is the best that it can be. Bill invited us on a paddle ride with his canoe club and it was one of the best things we did on our entire trip. If you get the chance, I highly recommend taking him up on that offer. The only con for me was that there was no door for the bathroom(only a sheer curtain), so my boyfriend and I got to know each other a little bit better because of that. After a day or so that isn't really an issue. Overall it was a really great stay!
Jodie2017-01-16T00:00:00ZMy boyfriend and I were so happy to have stayed at Cecilia and Bill's place! They are kind hearted and welcoming hosts! They made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They offered a lot of good suggestions about place to go, activities to do, and where to eat. They always invited us out. I even got to go paddling with them one morning. We also really enjoyed cooking on the outdoor grill and eating in the tented patio area. The location is great, right down the street from the water and it is easy to take the trolley into town. It is also near a Hele-on bus stop. We are so glad we stayed here and got to know Cecilia and Bill! We would recommend this stay for anyone!
Kelly2016-11-26T00:00:00ZWe loved our stay here! Cecilia and Bill are so friendly and helpful, after meeting them during check-in and reading through their binder of tips, it was easy for to pick places to explore and eat around town. The studio was perfect for what we needed: a comfortable, quiet spot to leave our bags when we explored and to clean and relax when we returned. Their place is in a really beautiful location and very close to town. And we loved that we woke up to the sound of birds chirping, it was peaceful and such a wonderful reminder of the beautiful place we were visiting! I cannot stress enough how much we enjoyed our stay and how friendly Cecilia and Bill are, they go above and beyond what we expected from hosts, we will definitely check this place out again for future trips!
Lily2017-01-17T00:00:00ZL'hôte était très attentionnée et très accueillante. L'emplacement était parfaite et le logement était très propre et répondait tout à fait à nos besoins. Seul point négatif, le lit n'était pas vraiment confortable pour un couple.
Elise2016-09-29T00:00:00ZBill and Cecilia are amazing hosts! We had a great time staying at your place. When AirBnB recommends getting to know your hosts, it's because they are probably amazing people like Bill and Cecilia that want to help you have the best time possible. The studio apartment we stayed in was extremely clean and had a very comfortable bed. The mini fridge was very useful to us as we were able to keep cold drinks or save leftover food. The location is central to everything with nothing needed being further than a 10 minute drive. If you do decide to travel out to the rest of the parts of the island (hiking, snorkelling, eating, etc), be sure to have a chat with Bill or Cecilia. Their kindness and wisdom is a fountain of information and they just want to share it with you to make sure you have the best Hawaiian experience possible. Mahalo!

Angelica was a fabulous host during our one night stay at her home. Although we booked her place fairly last minute, she responded to any questions I had within minutes. When our travel plans changed at the last minute and we had to check in later than originally planned, she was very flexible and accommodating. She was very welcoming and offered us access to her entire home (except the master bedroom and bath, understandably), which was thoughtfully decorated and extremely clean and well kept. As she made us breakfast, she offered several tips and recommendations on things to see around the Big Island. If only we had more time, she was more than willing to show us around and take us paddleboarding or hiking. Angelica's property is immaculate. We stayed in a cozy bedroom with a view of the ocean, and had access to a large bathroom for our exclusive use (as she did not have other family or friends staying over while we were there). We did not get a chance to enjoy her patio, but it looked gorgeous. We wish we had stayed for longer, and would not hesitate to stay at her place again.
Jennifer2016-12-07T00:00:00ZTrès bien. Proche aéroport.
viviane2017-02-15T00:00:00Zwonderful place to stay ~ Angelica is the perfect person as your guide, No other place better than this place. considerate and wonderful person
최2016-12-12T00:00:00ZAngelica is a wonderful host. She greeted us warmly wanting to take us along for a hike straight away. We only had a few hours of stay on our way to the airport so we could not experience her great kitchen nor all the other amenities. She gave us good tips to explore the area even in short time. The room was nice and cozy, comfy bed and very clean along with all the rest of the house. Very well equipped bathroom. We will come again to explore it all :)
Sylvia & Thomas2016-12-03T00:00:00ZStaying at Angelica's is definitely being of guest of the "hostess with the mostest"! She happily offered us so much of her personal time in many ways. She gave us inside information on the greatest beaches (and even personally drove us to a very special and hard to get to beach), knowledge of interesting places to see and great restaurants. We definitely felt like we had made a new long term friend when we left. We actually felt like we were saying "goodbye" to a family member.
Diane2017-01-11T00:00:00ZAngelica embodies the Aloha Spirit! If you're wanting to find a home away from home, this is the place. She welcomed me with open arms, cooked a mean breakfast, and was a great joy to sit and talk with about life. She's adventurous too and has so much love for the island which is great for seeing this place like a local! Sweetest puppy there to snuggle with as well. Thanks Angelica! Will be back!
Kelly2017-01-30T00:00:00ZWir haben unseren Aufenthalt bei Angelica sehr genossen. Wir wurden mit offenen Armen sowie Wein und Bier empfangen und hatten alles was wir benötigten. Das Frühstück war super und es gab jeden Morgen etwas anderes. Zudem konnten wir verschiedene Früchte sowie die Macademia Nüsse probieren. Auch war der Platz super um zu Schnorcheln und man kam mit dem Auto überall hin.
Michael2016-12-09T00:00:00ZAngelica was so helpful and friendly, and we immediately booked again with her. We felt so at home, comfortable and welcomed by Angelica that we wanted to see her again! This has to be one of the best, if not THE most amazing Airbnb experience I have had! The home was super clean, modern with gorgeous original art decor. The bedroom was absolutely gorgeous, comfortable, and private. Our bed was so comfortable and was adorned with an exotic Thai throw. Angelica provided filtered water for us in our room, and even prepared an amazing breakfast for us! It was so delicious, healthy, and filled us up for most of the day. We ate and Angelica recommended her favorite restaurants, hiking spots, and snorkeling spots. She also provided wonderful brochures, books, and handouts on the history of the island, wildlife, and placed to go and things to see. I highly recommend Angelica's place! You are in for such a treat.

We loved staying here, it was really clean and Jeremy was very welcoming. He picked us up from the bus and gave us a tour of the area to tell us the good spots for swimming, sunbathing, coffee and eating. He left us drinks and snacks in the room too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would 100% recommend Jeremy's place.
Lou2016-08-10T00:00:00ZJeremy is a very friendly and helpful host. He made us a pleasant surprise in the form of fine food and drinks. This room can be called almost a separate apartment - it has its own entry and bathroom. We were there only for one night but it was enough to say that it was a great choice.
Bartosz2016-07-24T00:00:00ZJeremy is really a 5 star host, the room is just the same as described, very clean and comfortable, you can have enough privacy if you want as there's an individual door to walk in.
Wei2017-02-18T00:00:00ZJeremy is very friendly, welcoming and very knowledgable host and he did everything to make us comfortable at his place. The place is in a quiet location and walkable distance to everything important (shops, restaurants, activities, beach). We definitely recommend that s place.
Juraj2016-11-25T00:00:00ZI really enjoyed my stay at Jeremy's place. The room is as described. There is a nice, clean, private bathroom and a good size walk in closet and a private entrance to the room. Kitchen has everything you need for cooking and there's a nice lanai with sea view where you can enjoy your meals. The location is great, just a short walk to all the shops and the beach. Jeremy is a great host, most helpful, generous and great to talk with. I highly recommend this place!
Jenni2016-12-02T00:00:00ZThe place is very conveniently located and is close to most attractions in Kona. Jeremy is a great host and took time off his schedule to give us suggestions on places to visit. We had a great stay at his property
Preethi2017-02-09T00:00:00ZJeremy's place is very clean and offers plenty of space. The bed was very comfortable. The apartment is a short walk to downtown Kona. The apartment has snorkel gear and a chair which was very handy for the beach. Jeremy also has a binder full of things to do/beaches/restaurants with those in walking and driving distances. The parking spot was a plus. I had a great time and would definitely book here in the future!
Lisa2017-03-09T00:00:00ZGreat place! Very clean & comfortable. Great bed & pillows. Shower was great, nice to have soap, shampoo & super towels on-hand. Quiet & peaceful sleeping - neighborhood is early to quiet at night & slow to wake up in the morning. Excellent location - easy walk to everything in downtown Kailua-Kona. Host, Jeremy, was very attentive, paid lots of attention to the details & very friendly. Will definitely stay here again next time in Kona.

Nice and clean room in a quite neighborhood. Unfortunately only one night was available. I would have stayed longer. Good location to visit the west side of the island, close to wonderful beaches and the Town of Kona. You need a car, but that's normal on Big Island. Thanks!
Marco2016-10-17T00:00:00ZThe room is nice and clean. The place is very close to ali'i drive which is perfect for morning runs. Thank you for everything!
Eva and Yudi2016-04-11T00:00:00ZTrès belle rue bien située. Tout près de Kailua-Kona et des belles plages. Le logement est vraiment très propre. Anya et Shirish sont une famille ravissante, très accueillante. C'est facile de parler avec eux, ils sont non seulement très intéressants, mais connaissent également très bien leur région. Nous avons eu de belles conversations avec eux. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour avec eux. :)
Olivia2016-11-09T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely stay, the room was clean and comfortable and in a peaceful location. Thanks Anya!
Sandeepan2016-04-12T00:00:00ZGreat home was clean and comfortable! Will definitely stay there again!
Trinidad2016-11-09T00:00:00ZCute place, comfortable, good location.
Aaron2016-06-25T00:00:00ZLocated in a safe and private community, this sweety home is clean and comfortable. Besides, the hostess is very nice and warm-hearted.We really enjoyed ourselves there.

Just what I was looking for!!! I absolutely loved the pool. The room had some kitchen stuff to be able to warm food up and a little fridge. Host was very friendly gave good ideas of what to do. Beautiful neighborhood and some cows grazing in the next yard. It was fun to hear them mooing in the evenings. :)
Carolyn2016-11-16T00:00:00ZWhile it is only a quick drive from bustling downtown Kailua-Kona, Terri's place is situated in a quiet and safe neighborhood. I enjoyed the peaceful mood a lot and spent a lot of time just sitting on my little back porch, listening to the sounds of the birds, the wind in the big trees and the occasional cow, horse or wild turkey. If you come back from one of the nice beaches you can always go for an afternoon swim in the pool and enjoy the oceanview from there!
Stephanie2017-01-27T00:00:00ZThis is a great place! Loved the high ceilings, the garden, the geckos. The description is very exact, so be sure to read it! I don't think there's much to add, aside from this: when we stayed there, the place looked new and was sparkling-clean. If that wasn't obvious, there are appliances and a fridge, but not a kitchen (or a kitchen sink), so don't expect to cook there; but you can reheat your breakfast, get your bagels toasted, and make yourself coffee or tea (there's both a coffee machine and a kettle, along with cups and spoons, so you're all set for a good morning!). Again, this is in the description - but be sure to have a car! You need a car to get to/from this place (unless you are a very avid cyclist who loves uphills on the way home). All the places of interest are a short drive away. The host was very responsive and helpful in all the situations we had (we had a non-trivial arrival/departure schedule). It was a pleasant stay, and I'd be hard-pressed to come up with anything that wasn't right about it - I can only recommend this place.
Roman2017-01-06T00:00:00ZSie war da und hat mir den Weg gezeigt ,ich könnte jederzeit den Pool nutzen. Ein gemütlicher Ort mit lieber Betreuung danke
Monika2016-12-08T00:00:00ZPlease allow a day or two for response due to cellular reception. The place is very clean and comfortable, and has the essentials except for beach towels. It is centrally located , close to shops and dining, most importantly close to walmart and Costco for souvenir shopping :) However given central location, plan accordingly if you plan on doing lava tour which is on the other side of the island, so I recommend either waking up very early if you plan to do sunrise lava tour or just book a one night hotel by volcano city or Hilo. Otherwise everything else is close to Kona in terms of beaches (Hapuna, Kau bay, Mauna Kea). Mahalo!!
Quan2017-02-01T00:00:00ZThe hosts were very cordial and friendly. The location is convenient to Kona and a view of the ocean.
Helen 2017-03-09T00:00:00ZTucked in a private gated community, this location is a great balance of distance and proximity to Kona (close but not too close). You're not within walking distance of anything but you're just a few minutes' drive from restaurants and shops. I was so excited that we could be accommodated despite the lateness and brevity of our request (we were on our way up to Kona from Volcano and got a response promptly). From what I can tell this space was recently set up and put up on the site and it's still in the process of growing and evolving a bit but it has a ton of potential!
Rebecca2016-11-21T00:00:00ZWe had a great stay. A few things were missing but I think we may have been the first guests in Terri's new place so she was still getting settled in. Will be an excellent place with a few small adjustments. Great location, nice hosts, great pool and the price was very reasonable. We would definitely stay again.

Excellent location, close to end thing u can ask for ! Paige was very helpful, she is tourism business, she's the one to ask for any recommendations and places to go ! Overall, great experience. Will definitely comeback again
Alex2017-01-30T00:00:00ZThis was a good place to stay. It is fairly convenient to Kailua-Kona, although you need a car. This upstairs apartment is within long throwing distance of the Mamalahoa highway (major highway), which we weren't aware of. So it is a bit noisy, especially if you want to leave windows open on that side. It can get very hot in here, but there is a small air conditioner in the bedroom. If you leave the air conditioner on all day with windows cracked in the living area, it seems like it can keep the place cool with somewhat lower humidity than the outside. Paige was easy to communicate with, although we never met her. She left a few odds and ends for us which was nice ... some drinks and the nicest thing ... a plate of ready-to-eat pineapple. Having to go outside to use the bathroom is a bit strange, especially in a well-populated neighborhood. But I liked that there was a curtain on the bathroom so you could leave the door wide open. Although I don't think the description said this, the bed is a double. Don't expect a queen, which for some reason I did. Overall ... we had an excellent time here.
Steven2017-01-17T00:00:00ZPaige was great, we had a very late check-in because of the soccer tournament schedule and she made sure the place was unlocked and well-lit
Mariah2017-02-20T00:00:00ZPaige was such a great host. Her place allowed privacy and was very cozy. She was always ready to answer any questions you may have had, and responded very quickly. She provided recommended restaurants and sites to see. She provided a stocked fridge and chocolates on top of that. Paige was such a hospitable host, I only wish I was able to see her and thank her in person before I checked out. Thanks Paige!
Daniel2016-12-29T00:00:00ZGreat spot for those looking for a spacious, private location. Paige stocked the fridge with some goodies, including a few beers for us! Beach gear and towels, everything you need. We had a few conversations with Paige on the phone and she was very helpful. You'll find the carpets are a little shabby and the rental space has a bit of a worn-in beach feel, but I suspect that Paige is updating things over time, and you can see the effort she's putting in to make this a pleasant stay. I totally recommend this to those looking for a casual space to land in Kona for a few days.
Lucas2016-12-30T00:00:00ZGreat place to get a rest after a long day of soccer. Well located, quiet and convenient to town.
Nicholle 2017-01-17T00:00:00ZThis was the perfect one bedroom place for my partner and me. It's the upstairs unit of a duplex. It's spacious, clean, and well-equipped. Paige and Nick were great to work with, very communicative, and very helpful with suggestions for places to eat and things to do. They even stocked the fridge with a yummy fruit plate, pastries, and beer! Overall, great experience. We'd definitely stay here again.

Everything exactly as described. The apartment was clean and beautiful. We had a terrific time and had no issues. We would definitely recommend and stay here again! Aloha!
Michelle2016-02-25T00:00:00ZThe room was beautiful! It was in a great location, with a great view, and the room itself was very well-decorated and functional. I couldn't be more pleased.
Jim2013-09-30T00:00:00ZThomas' place was absolutely beautiful! It was very clean, comfortable, quiet and had more than enough room for two people. The view was amazing as well! We wished we could have stayed to enjoy it all longer!
Tara2016-12-31T00:00:00ZWe stayed at this studio for two nights and it was the best accomodation during our trip to Big Island. Thomas and Simone are great hosts, very nice and they do their best to make you feel confortable (I can assure they achieve it!). The studio is really nice, very big, clean, modern and confortable. The views from the lanai are great and there are both a table to dine and two armchairs where you can relax. The place is very near Kona and the best spots for snorkeling and diving. On our next visit to Big Island we´ll do our best to stay here as many days as we can!
Dario 2014-04-22T00:00:00ZOur (unfortunately only) two-night-stay in Simone and Thomas' appartement made our stay in Kailua-Kona to a very special highlight. We loved the perfect composition of good taste, comfort and warm hospitality. We are really enjoyed the great view from the lanai and the quiet nights. Thank you Simone and Thomas. We hope we will see us again.
Cornelia2014-05-02T00:00:00ZGreat stay, unit just as described. Lovely hosts.
Jane2015-10-29T00:00:00Z다음에 코나에 오게된다면 고려할 숙소 1순위 입니다 청결도 위치 세심한 시설 조용한 환경 특히 샤워기가 넘 맘에듭니다 테이블 위에 있는 게스트 노트를 발견하고 방명록을 쓰지 않을수 없었습니다 ^^
yunjung2016-09-13T00:00:00ZWe really enjoyed our stay at Thomas and Simone's "Ohana". The ocean view was awesome, and the accommodations cosy and comfortable as well. The area was so quiet that I could even hear what sounded like crickets or frogs in the evenings. I also enjoyed seeing the Geckos and Anoles each morning! We would definitely stay there again. Thank you Thomas and family, we had a very relaxing time at your place :)

My boyfriend and I booked Bryce's place 2 nights before staying there using "instant book" as we wanted a night on the west coast of the island. We essentially only needed it for a place to crash as we spent the entire day before and after exploring the area. The pros: large apartment, very convenient location, we were close to a lot of great restaurants and near the water. The cons: Bryce didn't know we were coming. I tried to text him to confirm after booking with no response. The friend he listed with a hidden number, remained hidden even after we confirmed. As a result a few of his friends were using his apartment to do laundry since they had no idea we were arriving. They were very nice about the mix up and said they would clear out asap so we went out to grab a drink so they could take their time. The bedroom bed hadn't been made since the last person who used it so we slept on the Murphy bed in the living room which his friends were nice enough to make. The free parking that is listed is actually street parking behind a parking lot across the street which his friends helped us to figure out (the on site visitor spot is for 4 hours max). All of this I think could have been avoided with a better communication plan and was quickly resolved. However the part that really made this stay unpleasant were the bugs. We killed about 3 bugs which I'm fairly certain were cockroaches. It does seem like there have been mostly positive reviews for this place so maybe we were a one off for our experience. However given the bug issue I wouldn't stay again.
Veronica2017-01-25T00:00:00ZWe had a great time at Bryce's place! Everything is like described. The beach, town and grocery stores are in walking distance. Bryce and his girlfriend are super nice and helpful! They showed us some awesome beaches.
Franziska2016-07-24T00:00:00ZIt was one of the best choices we made staying at Bryce's. My boyfriend and I stayed at his for our first 2 nights on the big island and we couldn't have spent those 2 days in a better way. In short, it was absolutely amazing, fun, adventurous, and comfortable. The location of the place is perfect and there are lots of things to do and Bryce is the guy for everything on your list. If you get the chance to stay with (URL HIDDEN) :)
Susanne2016-07-07T00:00:00ZOur stay at Bryce's was great! The condo is in a great location right in Kona with easy accessibility. The condo was also really clean and organized. Bryce is a really friendly guy who gave us a lot of insight on exploring different parts of the island. We would definitely stay here again next time Kona side.
Teagan2016-05-09T00:00:00ZA great location in heart of Kailua-Kona from which to explore the island. Place is as described. Bryce is a nice, easy-going guy, generous with his local knowledge, time and equipment. Would recommend to anyone.
Colin2016-08-19T00:00:00ZWe crashed at bryce's place after a late flight on our way to Hilo. Clean accommodations and convenient to coffee!

Eric's house is so big !! Really beautiful (the lanai !!) too and with everything you may need. Even if Eric was not here, he made sure we didn't miss anything and his daughter Lauren was a great host, always quick to answer our questions. The dogs are all very cute and lively. The neighborhood is nice and close to all amenities.
Thibault2016-10-06T00:00:00ZEric has a beautiful home in Kona with an awesome view of the ocean from the balcony. Eric and his wife are very friendly and hospitable, and so are their dogs. They shared many of their traveling experiences with us and offered great advice for our trip. The room was very comfortable and cozy. My husband and I really enjoyed the chat during the night and had a wonderful stay. We would recommend this place for any single or a couple who plans on going to visit Kona.
Doris2016-06-09T00:00:00ZEric was very friendly and accommodating to us! His home is in a great location and the bed was so comfortable, we could have slept in it all day! His dogs are very sweet and we really appreciated that he was flexible with us arriving late. Thanks for being such a wonderful host!
Lindsay2016-08-18T00:00:00ZWe had an amazing stay at Eric's place. The house as itself is very nice, well situated and clean. The room is very cosy. Eric gave us some piece of advice on what to do on the island and him and his dogs are very welcoming. You will literally feel like home.
Lionel2016-09-18T00:00:00ZEverything was clean and need. Uncomplicated way to stay in Kona. My full recommendation!
Wenzel2016-10-10T00:00:00ZWe want to thank our hosts as our stay was perfect, location very convenient to drive to any direction. Internet wifi speed was surprissingly good. All kitchen amenities and lanai which we were allowed to use was just perfect and views gorgeus. Bed king size and very comfortable we had good sleeps after active days.
(URL HIDDEN)2017-03-03T00:00:00ZEric's place was exactly what we needed. We arrived after midnight, and it was easy to let ourselves in and hit the hay. We took off early in the morning for a full day of adventure, and came back exhausted after dinner. Chatted for a little bit, and crashed again. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was clean, and the view from the lanai to the ocean was lovely.
Rebecca2016-11-19T00:00:00ZAlthough we only stayed for 1 evening, we found this to be a very welcoming home, close to downtown Kona (about 2.5 miles). Diane was a gracious hostess. Our room was clean and spacious. The king-sized bed was extremely comfortable. My in-laws also stayed in the second bedroom and we shared the bathroom, which was also spacious and clean. Lanai has an AMAZING view. Very peaceful

My first experience using airbnb was great thanks to Sue and Larry. Communication was great along with check in. I was a little bit late getting in on my flight and they were helpful. They gave a good intro to then place and told me of what was surrounding the area. They allowed use of their kitchen and balcony area, also the pool of the condo building. Larry told me about some neat things to check out in areas that I told him I was going to explore which was fun. They were very friendly, also had a couple of really cute cats. The condo was very nice and clean, I found the bed to be very comfortable as well. Thanks Sue and Larry for the great experience, nothing but positive things to say.
Katie2017-02-15T00:00:00ZThis couple went above and beyond to make my stay incredible. Their lovely home is very conveniently located with access to beaches, shops, car rental ,etc. The bed is very comfortable, the bathroom clean and up to date, and there's free underground parking. I would highly recommend staying here!
Marita2017-01-01T00:00:00ZGreat hosts, very sweet and helpful. The place is quiet and clean, right in the middle of everything. My wife and I were here for Ironman and the location was stellar -- exactly what we needed! Mahalo, Sue & Larry!
Brandon2016-10-12T00:00:00ZLarry & Sue were wonderful to meet & to stay with! There home is lovely & the location is conviently located. They gave us a warm welcome on where to find the amenities that we needed & made us feel very comfotable & at home. They were helpful in giving us info & directions on places we wanted to see. We so enjoyed Larry & Sue, & we hope to keep in touch & see them again sometime!
Mishel2016-11-10T00:00:00ZThe place was wonderful! It's very clean and cozy. Closed to lots of shops and restaurants. Larry and Sue were super sweet as well. Thank you so much.
KRIDSADA 2017-02-24T00:00:00ZSue and Larry were very welcoming. Sue even offered to pick me up from the nearest hotel to their place and they dropped me off to the airport. Larry is available and more than willing to help when Sue is working. Their place is a gem in the heart of Kailua-Kona. I loved the short walking distance to farmer's market, the beach, pier, restaurants and the town trolley which takes you to more beaches, groceries, etc. It was great value for money, time and good for solo travelers (including those that do not have a car) or 2 people traveling together. Mahalo, Sue and Larry, for your kind hospitality! Thank you for showing me that special beach and many more. Will be looking forward to my next stay! Highly recommend your place.
Ana2016-10-24T00:00:00ZIt was realy plesure to be in this flat. Sue and Lary are very kind and helpful. They show us the city and gave some tips for good restaurants. I can recommend it,100%.
Jakub2016-11-15T00:00:00ZLarry and Sue are warm, welcoming, and incredibly generous and helpful. They accommodated our travel snafus and were flexible with all our comings and goings. Such lovely people!

And two sticking out of his back.
Today the after school kids are getting a very hearty, healthy soup. Here is the basic recipe, I made this X 5.
- 2 pounds potatoes, cut into bite-size chunks
- 1½ - 2 pounds smoked sausage sliced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 stalks of celery diced
- 1 cup diced sweet peppers
- 2 diced carrots
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Dice the carrots, onions and celery. Saute' them along with the diced peppers for a couple ofminutes. Add the stock and the cubed potatoes. I also added broccoli and kale. Add the broth and bring to a low boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender. Add the sliced sausage and cook until heated through. Add the cream and the seasoning. Taste it and adjust if necessary.
- Stir in shredded cheese until melted. Serve immediately.
It's cold and damp here today so the kids will love this. BTW....I think a lot of you think these kids are very young, they aren't. The after school kids are all between 15 and 17. Which helps to explain why they are capable of eating 18 quarts of this soup at one sitting

If you like/love pomegranate, then this is a great tea to try!
The scent seems as if it would be TOO sweet, but the taste isn't overly sweet, it's actually quite refreshing, like fresh pomegranate juice.

THE WORLD HAS BEEN INVADED BY ALIENS! It's up to a nerdy, lazy high school kid to save it!
3.85 / 5.00 5,664 Views* For all of the frustrated ones: there's a video walkthrough thread at We Create Stuff > Portal: TFV's forum, and some community help. Good luck :)
We started working on this project a couple of months ago, and now, it is finally done. Lately we've been working on this project none stop, acknowledging if we release it after the real Portal - we fail, and our test will be terminated ( ;). So yes, the last piece of code of this game was programed just a couple of minutes ago. Don't worry - those minutes were on bugs!
Portal: The Flash Version includes over 40 challenging, portals thinking levels, which features almost every feature the real game does, in 2d - energy balls, cubes, turrets and even the famous crusher from the trailer. The game also includes a console to mess around with after finishing the game, or just being frustrated by thinking with portals (Commands are posted in our forums)
Left mouse button - launch a portal.
A W D - movement
Q - launch a blue portal.
E - launch a yellow portal.
R - Close both portals.
F - pick up an object.
~ - open up console (enable through the options)
O - quick quality adjust.
Esc/P - pause game.
Version history:
The game really is heavy on levels 30 and up. We did our best to optimize it, but if you still have a low frame rate simply change your quality and effect settings.
If you find any bugs, please report.
Very good!!
awesome game!

Corporate News
Bill Lay takes up new position at KK Security
Thursday, May 9, 2013 20:41Former chief executive of troubled motor firm CMC Holdings, Bill Lay, has taken up a job as head of KK Security's oil and gas division.
Mr Lay was hired on May 3 as an executive of the regional security firm, which is seeking a piece of Kenya's oil exploration business by offering specialised services like offshore security, accommodation, and logistics to mining companies at remote sites.
Mr Lay quit CMC on April 30 after serving for two years where he sparked a shareholder war that caused the ouster of a number of directors and strained the company's dealings with key suppliers.
"The board of directors believe that KK Security can play an active role in the development of the oil & gas industry in East Africa," said a staff memo signed by Derek Oatway, chairman and majority shareholder at KK Security.
The company is targeting promising business in petroleum blocks following Kenya's first oil discovery in March last year by British explorer Tullow Oil.
The find follows oil and gas discoveries in East Africa that have made the region more attractive to explorers.
Most of the blocks are located in remote areas and KK Security is looking to offer services that include accommodation, waste management, and laundry besides providing safety training, protection of executives, and guarding exploration installations.
The new division will help the firm to diversify its income streams and reduce the share of revenue generated from guarding services to 30 per cent from the current 60 per cent.
The establishment of local bases by foreign firms like Tullow, Italy's Eni, and US' Anadarko and Apache is boosting the outlook of service providers eyeing the oil and mineral sectors.
Besides guarding, KK security's other divisions include cash-in-transit services, alarm operations, as well as the fire and rescue unit.
Mr Lay joins KK Security in the wake of a major shake-up of the firm's management team, which has led to the exit of a number of executives and the appointment of Adam Miller, former regional managing director of G4S East Africa, as commercial director.
KK Security and G4S East Africa have been locked in a vicious battle for control of the regional security market with their focus on local companies, multinationals, and diplomatic organisations.
Mr Lay, who moved to CMC from General Motors East Africa, had been at the centre of boardroom wars that forced the motor firm to replace nearly all its directors.
Mr Lay, an American citizen who has lived in Kenya for more than 30 years, kicked up a storm at CMC upon taking office in May 2011 when he accused Peter Muthoka's company Andy Forwarders of overcharging the motor dealer for logistics services to the tune of Sh1.5 billion in five years. Mr Muthoka is the top shareholder at CMC Motors.
He also claimed that former directors of CMC, including former attorney-general Charles Njonjo and former head of civil service Jeremiah Kiereini, had stolen the firm's money and kept it in secret offshore accounts.
The sensational claims forced the Capital Markets Authority to launch its own investigations into the firm. The investigations have since culminated in the barring of a number of ex-CMC directors from sitting on boards of public companies.

Sex-pectations can vary throughout the duration of any relationship. It's only natural that as newlyweds, a high desire for one another and a busy sex schedule are a natural part of your everyday relationship. Careers change, kids are born, and additional life obligations increase, which all factored in, result in the act of sex having a different meaning in your relationship. In the beginning, sex is very physical. There is deep attraction and a strong passion that drives the physical connection between a couple. It is exciting and new and something that, as newlyweds, you feel is a constant must! All of these things are perfectly normal.
Over time, sex becomes more about expressing love for your spouse and fueling their 'love tank.' As your marriage evolves, so does your career, your family, and your overall responsibilities. Even if you both have a similar sex drive, it doesn't mean that you will always be wanting it at the same time. Sex can easily take a back seat to all the other items on your to-do list. But if you're keeping your relationship in perspective, your spouse should always be number one on that list…. To-Do!
Many relationships consist of partners who have varying sex drives. Early in the marriage, when there seems to be less distraction, this variance can be easily navigated, devoting far more time and effort into ensuring both partners are feeling happy and satisfied. But add a couple of kids and some additional work projects, and finding that happy medium seems low on the list. And for the spouse who needs sex as one of the tools for filling their 'love tank' this can cause issues in the marriage.
So what can you do?
First, be open to discussion. Like anything in marriage, COMMUNICATION is KEY! Never shame the spouse who has a higher sex drive. Never guilt the spouse who has a lower sex drive. Think about how it feels to be the opposing partner.
Higher-Drive Spouse: This person needs sex for two reasons. Reason one is to feel loved by their spouse. Physical touch is a form of their love language (for more information on love languages, read Gary Chapmans's "The Five Love Languages") that allows them to feel loved by their spouse through the act of physical touch, many times being sex. Reason two is they use sex to express love to and for their spouse. If you are the spouse with the lower sex drive, instead of feeling frustrated by the request of sex by your spouse, consider it a compliment and a form of love. It might also change your perspective on the act and increase your overall desire.
Another thing to consider is that when a higher-drive spouse is repeatedly told no, their self-esteem can take a hit. Over time, the rejection can make them feel unwanted, or even unloved by their spouse. If they feel unloved, their likeliness of expressing love to their spouse in the 'love language' they need is less, causing an endless cycle that is not ideal for any marriage.
12 Things You Need To Know Before Getting Into A Relationship
Lower-Drive Spouse: This person may feel heartbroken or guilty about their lack of sexual desire. They may also feel confused as to why their ways of expressing love are not enough to fuel the love tank of their spouse.
Do any of these feelings ring true for you? If so, you're not alone, and discussing your feelings with your spouse is the first step to finding a happy medium in the bedroom. The next thing to consider is what could be the underlying issues that are causing the variance in sexual desire.
Most commonly, the problems can be found in the person with the lower-drive.
These problems are nothing to be alarmed about, but rather be made aware of. Some things to consider are:
Medication: Many times a simple side effect of a medication can be a decrease in sex drive. Just knowing the possibility of that could increase your overall perception on sex and your sexual desires. Understanding that it might be something more than just your feelings towards your spouse will help you make a more conscious effort to work through the lack of desire for the love of your spouse. You might even be able to switch medications to remove that road block.
Pregnancy: Pregnancy wreaks havoc on the female body. All for the better good, we might add, but certainly, the act of carrying a baby is tiresome. Many women lose interest in sex as their body begins to change. They no longer feel sexy or confident in their own skin making it harder to engage in a sexual act. As the baby gets bigger, this feeling can only increase making it much more cumbersome for the female to feel comfortable having sex. In connection with this, post pregnancy brings a rapid change in hormones, a change in family dynamics and a new perception on body image. All of these things can be challenging for a mom to accept and cope with while caring for a newborn. If you are facing postpartum depression, NEVER hesitate to seek help. Not only for yourself, but for your new baby and family! You are not alone.
Pain: It is very possible that some women experience pain while having sex with their spouse. If this is you, please do not feel ashamed or embarrassed – but seek medical attention. Speaking openly with both your spouse and gynecologist about this situation will make you feel better and increase your chances of finding a solution. Sex is meant to be enjoyed. If you are feeling pain then that not only hurts you but it hurts your spouse. He might feel that it is something he is doing that is causing you pain. Your gynecologist can exam you and assist you in finding a solution.
Expectations: One of the most obvious but least addressed reasons could be the difference in expectations by each spouse. One spouse might expect that sex is done multiple times a week whereas the other spouse is happy with a handful of times a month. Simply discussing your expectations with your spouse is an easy way to understand the wants of your spouse and gets you on track for finding a happy medium.
The Build Up: Foreplay! And foreplay doesn't always mean sexual foreplay, it can be emotional foreplay as well. Our higher-drive partners are easily turned on and ready to go at a much quicker rate. But lower-drive partners need more in order to increase their desire for a sexual connection. A marriage and sex professional, and close friend to the Divas, Laura Brotherson, explains that the worst thing a higher-drive spouse can do is place pressure on the the lower-drive spouse. For many lower-drive partners, the need to connect emotionally must happen before the physical connection can take place.

Key features of the new legislation
New listing categories for threatened species that reflects international best practice
Introduces a risk-based approach to managing wildlife interactions that delivers a more streamlined licensing system while continuing to protect native plants and animals
Provides better consistency between jurisdictions on the process of listing species and strengthens the role of the NSW Scientific Committee
A consistent and rigorous process of identifying and listing areas of outstanding biodiversity value
Outcomes are already being delivered though a $100 million investment into threatened species projects in NSW though Saving our Species
Strengthening wildlife licensing
The Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 proposes an updated and more efficient listing framework for threatened species that reflects international best practice. It also creates a new risk-based approach to managing wildlife interactions that will protect native plants and animals, establish minimum standards of animal care and maximise public safety.
Consultation raised concerns that changing the system would lead to reduced protections for wildlife. The new legislation carries over the existing protections afforded to native animals and plants. Instead of government using resources for lower risk activities, the new risk-based framework will allow resources to focus on compliance and enforcement for higher risk activities. We will increase transparency by establishing a public register of wildlife management and make it a strict liability offence for breaching biodiversity conservation licences.
Listing threatened species
Environment groups and scientists raised concerns about the proposal to harmonise state and federal listing processes. Provisions have been included in the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 to support the implementation of an inter-jurisdictional Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on a Common Assessment Method. The Common Assessment Method is consistent with international practice and will deliver more consistent lists of threatened entities across Australian jurisdictions.
The Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 will also strengthen the role of the NSW Scientific Committee (to be renamed the Threatened Species Scientific Committee) to enable it to deliver a more strategic and responsive listing process.
The new legislation also provides for establishment of a program for monitoring and assessing trends in the condition (extent and quality) of biodiversity in NSW.
Identifying Areas of Outstanding Biodiversity Value (AOBV)
The concept of 'areas of outstanding biodiversity value' (AOBV) was widely supported by environment, community and wildlife groups, environmental consultants, scientists, local councils and many individuals. Other stakeholders sought clarity on the criteria for any AOBV declaration and its declaration over existing agricultural land. The Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 establishes clear scientific criteria for identifying AOBV that are consistent with the IUCN standard for identifying Key Biodiversity Areas. Modelling the approach taken for listing threatened entities, the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 prescribes the high level criteria while the detailed sub-criteria will be prescribed in the Regulations. Supporting guidelines will also be developed to help apply these criteria when identifying AOBVs.
The Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 provides legal protections for AOBVs, recognising these areas will represent the most valuable sites for biodiversity conservation across NSW.
It will be an offence to damage an AOBV without the appropriate approval (such as a development consent). Any development proposal located on an AOBV must be assessed using the biodiversity assessment method.
AOBVs are excluded from the land management framework set out in the Local Land Services Amendment Bill. This means clearing under the codes is not permitted in an AOBV.
Consultation will continue
- The Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 enables the Minister for the Environment to make wildlife management codes of practice. Additional codes will be developed with key stakeholders and exhibited in 2017.
- Further consultation on the detailed sub-criteria for AOBV will take place in 2017 as the Regulation is made.
- The NSW Government is strengthening strategic partnerships with wildlife rehabilitation providers to improve local wildlife populations. The NSW Government will contact the peak body representing the wildlife rehabilitation sector and key licensed individuals in early 2017 to discuss the progress of consultation and assessment already undertaken, with a view to further developing an accreditation program with the rehabilitation sector.

selection and installation of foundations in the low-rise building is of paramount importance.After all, the strength and reliability of the design of the foundation depends on the quality of construction of the object.It is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the soil, the number of storeys of the building being erected, as well as the financial capacity of the owner of the site.Pile foundations on soft ground is indispensable, because it requires pressure to transfer the building to a dense layer, which lies at a certain depth.The device is most effective pile foundation in heaving soils, prone to deep freezing, more than 1.5 meters.In this case the foundation piles of reliable columnar or belt structure.However, in dense soils nobody forbids to use piles.
Advantages of pile foundation ↑
- Reducing the amount spent excavation, which is very important when elevated pile foundation with his own hands.If there is no project in the basement.
- concrete savings.
- Minimizing the complexity of work.
- Reducing the cost of construction.
- Save time.
Construction of pile foundations ↑
used in the construction of various types of construction of pile foundations, which are influenced by such factors as:
- Select the type of piles;
- Arrangement piles under the building;
- method of manufacturing piles and immersing them into the ground;
- raft foundation design;
- nature of work in the thickness of the pile of soil.
With industrial construction erection of pile foundation is done by a large number of construction machinery, which is excluded when working with their hands.Therefore, in a holiday cottage and low-rise buildings do not apply all kinds of pile foundations.For example, screw pile shaped drill, without the aid of special equipment in the ground will not be able to spin.
therefore perform helical pile foundation with his hands hard.We'll have to rent a special vehicle, and it will affect the financial side of things.That means we need to pay attention to other structures.
Choice piles for dacha construction ↑
Long rods submerged in the ground already in finished form or manufactured directly in the ground, called piles.Finished products are sharpened on one hand, it facilitates the immersion of the pile into the ground until a solid soil layer.This requires the use of special equipment.
When making piles with their hands in the soil drilled wells, which are then reinforced and poured concrete.For low-rise building pile length should be at least three meters, but no more than six.A more accurate calculation should be entrusted to the designer.From the manner in which conducted the pile penetration into the soil, are distinguished:
- Driven piles that immersion does not require pre-excavation.It provides for the use of special mechanisms - vibrators, vibrovdavlivayuschih and pinch devices;
- printed and reinforced concrete piles, which are obtained by pouring concrete in the pre-drilled hole;
- Drilling reinforced concrete piles, which are installed in drilled wells;
- Screw piles, twisted like a drill into the ground with the help of special machines.
The nature of work in the thickness of the soil piles distinguish pile-hanging racks and piles.The first reach a solid layer of soil, and the second - is not based on the geological features of its occurrence.
Bored piles with a raft ↑
Building pile-strip foundation with his own hands, you need to stock up on garden brown or brown TISE, which costs about $ 70.
addition require other tools that, as a rule, the builder is always at hand.
Stages of work:
- Running marking contour of the foundation.
- removed topsoil and soil from the trench to a depth equal to the thickness of the raft foundation.Running formwork.
- Along the perimeter of the future design of the foundation every two meters made pits using a garden drill, having a cross-section size 120-150 mm.The depth of the pit should be below the frost line, and its minimum value is equal to 1500 mm.At the bottom of pit is expanded to a diameter of 350 mm, a height of 300 mm.Further filled five-centimeter layer of sand and compacted.
- The resulting hole is inserted into the shell of the roofing material or glassine paper on a proposed thickness of the pile before the expansion and reinforcement cage, and everything is filled with concrete, which is better to buy ready-made.You can prepare a solution, and their hands, keeping the aspect ratio.To produce a concrete cube is necessary to take 289 kg of cement grade 400, 562 kg of sand, gravel 1375 kg.The amount of water should be no more than 70% by weight of cement.
- Concrete poured into the pile hole must be compacted using vibrators.In its absence, the course is an ordinary wooden tamping, the diameter of which must be less than the reinforcing cage.
- Three hours after setting the exposed surface of the concrete, as well as formwork raft foundation, poured water.For the gradual hardening of concrete it is necessary to close the plastic wrap.After 14-28 days of pile foundation is ready, you can proceed to the next stage of construction.
modular and monolithic grillage ↑
upper part of the pile foundation, called raft, assume the main burden constructed elements of the building, passing it piles,which in turn divide it with the soil.The low-rise building is used as a pile rostverkovy foundation and pile foundation grillage without.Rostwerk may be monolithic or modular.Pile foundations with monolithic grillage to avoid the presence of joints and seams, which are inevitable in a modular design.Recently, however, it is prefabricated gratings are widespread, and the need to comply with the location of the piles to the millimeter.
process of pile foundations with monolithic grillage on video.
As you can see, the pile foundation to build a raft difficult.However, properly executed design does not allow the building sag.Some pile foundations made in the last century Russian masters, are still firmly hold objects erected on them.

Poor Kid - Poem by Robert William Service
Mumsie and Dad are raven dark
And I am lily blonde.
''Tis strange,' I once heard nurse remark,
'You do not correspond.'
And yet they claim me as their own,
Born of their flesh and bone.
To doubt their parenthood I dread,
But now to girlhood grown,
The thought is haunting in my head
That I am not their own:
If so, my radiant bloom of youth
Would wither in the truth.
'Twould give me anguish deep to know
A fondling babe was I;
And that a maid in wedless woe
Left me to live or die:
I'd rather Mother lied and lied
To save my pride.
I love them both and they love me;
I am their all, they say.
Yet though the sweetest home have we,
To know I'm theirs I pray.
If not, please dear ones, never tell . . .
The truth would be of hell.

Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Melanoma Who Are Undergoing Surgery for Lymph Node and Tumor Removal
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells and melanoma cells may make the body build an immune response and kill the tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy made from white blood cells and melanoma cells in treating patients with metastatic melanoma who are undergoing surgery for lymph node and tumor removal.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Melanoma (Skin) |
Biological: aldesleukin Biological: gp100 antigen Biological: tyrosinase peptide |
Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase I-II Trial of Antigen-Pulsed Autologous Dendritic Cells for Induction of Anti-Tumor Immunity in Patients Completing Lymphadenectomy for Metastatic Melanoma |
Study Start Date: | July 1997 |
Study Completion Date: | February 2005 |
Primary Completion Date: | April 2000 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the safety and toxicity of intravenous injections of autologous cultured dendritic cells pulsed with either gp100 and tyrosinase peptides or autologous melanoma tumor cell lysates in patients with metastatic melanoma. II. Determine whether treatment with melanoma tumor antigen pulsed autologous dendritic cells results in increased in vitro tumor specific cytotoxic T-cell responses. III. Determine whether this treatment can induce positive skin test responses to tumor antigens. IV. Evaluate the disease free and overall survival of these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, dose escalation study. Approximately 1-2 weeks following surgical lymphadenectomy, patients undergo leukapheresis to collect dendritic cells and are then divided into 3 groups. Group A consists of patients without adequate tumor for preparation of tumor lysate and who have tumors that express tyrosinase or gp100 with types HLA-A1, A2, or A3. Group B consists of the patients who have adequate tumor for lysate preparation but who do not type for HLA-A1, A2, or A3 (required for the peptide pulsed protocol). Group C are the patients with adequate tumor who are eligible for the peptide pulsed protocol. Group A patients receive autologous dendritic cells pulsed with appropriate peptide antigens. Group B patients are treated with autologous dendritic cells pulsed with autologous tumor cell lysates. Group C patients are randomized to receive dendritic cells pulsed with either peptide antigens or tumor lysate. All patients are administered intravenous active immunotherapy for 4 monthly intervals. The dose of the immunizations is escalated for each cohort of three patients that is accrued in each of the groups mentioned above. Each immunization at each dose level is followed by three days of interleukin-2 administered subcutaneously twice daily. Patients are followed at least 5 years for survival.

The LCD-2 is the legendary headphone that made Audeze an industry leader. Continuous evolution and the addition of Fazor technology have enhanced its transparency and overall performance. Known for their tight, extended bass response, smooth, inviting midrange, and warm high frequencies, the LCD-2 headphones offer a listening experience that makes believers out of even casual music listeners. For the best performance The LCD-2 requires an external headphone amplifier.
The LCD-2 is our original game-changing headphone, the design that catapulted Audeze into the spotlight. It's the most forgiving of bad recordings and presents a beautiful sound with the same powerful bass as all Audeze headphones, a tonally-rich midrange and a simply beautiful treble region. The addition of our patent-pending Fazor technology made the LCD-2 sound more dynamic and focused top to bottom. It takes a real effort not to enjoy music on these headphones.
