We have been coming to Kona for over 35 years. We both first traveled to Oahu on the Matson lines in the 'good ole days' as we were greeted with Outrigger canoes to greet the ship. What a beautiful sight it was! This warm welcome was enchanting and something neither one of us ever forgot. From Oahu we both ended up in quaint Kona which was quite different from the hustle and bustle of Oahu. Over the many years that followed we both traveled to Kona many times and wanted to always live here.
Owner/manager purchased this condo in 2012
We have been fortunate enough to have lived in Kauai in a Condominium and two different Condominiums here in Kona before we decided to purchase here at Kona by the Sea. When we made our list of pluses and minuses, we knew that this would be our Final Home, as the list of pluses went on and on for us. As one gets older, you realize that an elevator, luggage cart,and inside parking as well as the Oceanfront Master suite are high on the list. As one can tell, the property is very well maintained and the staff is definitely full of Aloha Spirit!!
Needless to say---Oceanfront has always been a dream for us both. We pick VIEW over a lot of other amenities, but here at Kona by the Sea, we did not have to sacrifice or compromise on anything. This property has it all for us!! We have finally landed. We decided to go ahead and do a lot of upgrades to our recent purchase now rather than wait, the most important of which was the 2-phase Rheem Central Air Conditioning 16 ton unit. It boasts the new standard of Refrigerant R-410A, which does not emit Ozone (proved to be harmful to your health). There is an additional UltraViolet bulb inside the unit to further improve the air quality as the bulb cleans all the air going through the system. All new sheetmetal ducting was also installed throughout the new system. Both Master Suites boast full tile bathrooms, including grab bars for safety. The whole condominium has been professionally painted with designer colors, including all the ceilings, closets, and walls. There is a brand new full-size G. E. WasherDryer as well as a brand new Whirlpool Over-the-Range Microwave. The whole condominium is tiled throughout while the bedrooms and living room are carpeted. The dining room sports a glass-topped table that seats 6 comfortably. The furniture is of a Hawaiian theme and very comfortable to relax. Beautiful artwork accents the walls throughout. The generous sized lanai also has 4 over-sized, cane lounge chairs that you could fall asleep in, as I have done many times. We could go on and on, and we do know this--You will feel at home here. George says it all 'We guarantee it!'
My wife and I stayed here for 5 months in 2012. We loved it so much we returned in 2013 for another 3 months! We loved drinking Kona coffee on the lanai in the mornings and watching the ships, dolphins and whales right in front of us. This condo is very nicely furnished, extremely comfortable and the parking underneath was a great advantage. The sandy area in front was perfect for watching the gorgeous Kona sunsets while enjoying a Mai Tai. We would definitely recommend renting this condo.
My husband, myself and another couple rented this oceanfront condo for the month of March, 2014. We absolutely loved it. It had everything that we were looking for in our first trip to the Big Island. Direct oceanfront with an incredible view. Two separate bedrooms with their own en-suite. One at the front with an ocean view and one at the front with mountain view. Both very private. A fully stocked kitchen with plenty of dishes, pans, coffee maker, plenty of utensils etc. All the convenience of home with a dishwasher and washer/dryer.
We loved exploring the island and coming back at the end of the day to watch the amazing Hawaiian sunsets while sitting on the lanai sipping cocktails. Then we'd BBQ supper on one of the 3 BBQ's. We were very impressed that the maintenance were out bright and early every morning cleaning the pool, hot tub and all 3 BBQ's. The BBQ area is well lit with lights at night. The men usually did the BBQ'ing and they quite enjoyed the conversations with other quests while cooking. We'd learn of a new beach to snorkel at or what fish they were catching and where.
Some days were just spent relaxing around the pool or sitting on the lanai spotting whales and dolphins. We got some great photos of both right from our lanai. As well as turtles sunning themselves down on the lava rock.
There is a market just a few doors down and across the street that we went to a few times shopping for souvenirs.
It was so great to have underground parking to keep the rental car out of the sun. There is carts in the garage to put your luggage or groceries on and then head on up the card access only elevator. This was such a convenience.
When we first inquired about the condo rental the owners, Terry & Mike, were very prompt in getting back to us and were very agreeable to deal with. We loved it so much that we are already re-booked for another stay in 2015. We can't wait to get there to kick back and relax on the lanai in hopes of catching sight of more whales and dolphins.
This condo is such a hidden gem that once the word gets out it will be hard to find available rental time.
Kona by the Sea
My husband and I Have stayed at this beautiful condo at least 3 times in the
last few years. The view is breath taking.one sees lush plants and foliage,Aqua
marine ,clear water, a sandy beach, black lava rock , all with coconut trees
against the sky. The sunsets are to die for. One can sit on the Laine and take
all of this in. There is a fresh water pool and a salt water pool that is fun
to swim in when the waves are high and crashing over the edge. One may stand on
the edge, if you are so inclined, and let the waves send you on a fun little
ride down the length of the pool. There is a beautiful little beach close
enough to walk to that is wonderful for swimming, snorkeling, and turtle
watching. There are also many beautiful beaches that are not very far to drive
to. Town is very close by with a little free trolley ride to get you too and
from in a matter of minutes. The condo is extremely comfortable, and has many
artistic touches. The beds are large and comfrey, and the kitchen is well
stocked with what ever one needs. There is plenty of room for two couples
with lots of privacy with two master suites. The Ocean front master suite has an incredible view,
and you can see the ocean from every room in the condo. We love staying in this condo at Kona by the Sea.
There is an elevator and carts to carry luggage and groceries.....there are so
many things to do and see on the big island. The lava rock makes for great
reefs and wonderful snorkeling. We make this beautiful condo our destination as
often as we can. We love to play our ukuleles, and there are groups that meet
several times a week in the area. They welcome us with an Aloha spirit. A
vibrant sunset, a glass of bubblie,and some pupus, ah, what more could anyone
ask for.
A very happy customer.We will be returning. Cherie
The property is just as advertised; lovely! The furnishings are colorful, tropical, and very comfortable.
The condo layout is especially great for two couples traveling together with privacy for all.
There are large televisions in both bedrooms as well as in the living room. The view is absolutely terrific, we have seen dolphins nearly everyday. We've enjoyed using the barbecue facilities as well as the hot tub and good size pool. There is also a sea-filled pool very nearby, easily visible from the lanai that we haven't used yet.
One of my favorite features of the condo is the huge and very comfy bed in our room. I have arthritis and the quality of the mattress is extremely important to me. The full-size laundry washer and dryer are a really great feature and not one you often find in condos. Another really outstanding item is the very efficient central air-conditioning which has made life much more comfortable since we have had some extra warm, humid days.
There are two dining areas though we have used the lanai almost exclusively, we did have a dinner party for six one evening and had ample room inside around the dining table and two-three cooks in the kitchen!
Krista, the property manager, was very friendly and professional. Her welcome basket of Hawaiian goodies has been much enjoyed.
Mike and Terry are enthusiastic and caring owners which is evident throughout their beautiful Hawaiian condo.
Historic Kailua-Kona town abounds with Hawaiian charm. It is a casual walk to town from this location. Alii Drive meanders along the Oceanfront with constant views to the Ocean as you walk to town. The town is full of waterfront restaurants, shops and souvenir stores. Plenty of golfing is available near-by and you do save money by buying the Golf Package when you arrive. The beauty about this particular property is that you are 'very content' by staying home and enjoying yourself at the pool/spa/sandy Oceanfront beach.

A man known for using an assault weapon to guard his property apparently killed and buried a neighboring landowner, the son of a former Texas governor, then was shot to death by law enforcement officers after he fired dozens of rounds at them, authorities said Monday.
B. Gill Clements, the 69-year-old son of former Gov. Bill Clements, was identified as the man found Saturday buried in a shallow grave behind a home adjacent to Clements' ranch, Henderson County Sheriff Ray Nutt said.
Nutt said the deceased neighboring landowner, Howard T. Granger, 46, was the suspected killer.
Authorities were still investigating a possible motive, but Nutt said Clements complained when Granger shot across a fence at a tree on his property.
"Mr. Clements did have some type of conversation with him about that. I don't know of what nature," Nutt told The Associated Press on Monday.
A longtime friend of Clements, Bubba Wood, 70, said he had never heard Clements even refer to any kind of trouble with Granger.
"Gill Clements would never have gotten into a position where he would have antagonized that guy," Wood said. "I promise you that this is not anything that Gill set in motion. If he was concerned or fearful, he wouldn't have been down there."
An official cause of death was not released, but Nutt said authorities believed Clements had been shot.
Granger's small wood frame house sits at the dead end of a narrow dirt lane, under towering trees with at least half a dozen signs warning, "Keep Out" and "No Trespassing."
Authorities say Granger had no criminal record, and they couldn't find any previous law enforcement calls to the property. Still neighbors said they were cautious of Granger.
"I tried to avoid him just like everybody else did. He was strange," neighbor John Laster said.
Laster recalled Granger walking his property with an AK-47. At night he could hear someone target practicing on the property, he said.
"Everywhere you saw Granger, you saw him with that gun on him," Laster said. "It was like he like to intimidate people."
Clements was reported missing on Thursday night after he missed a meeting that morning, although his SUV was still at his property when law enforcement went to check.
As authorities searched Clements' property on Friday, they ran into Granger, who appeared with an AK-47. Returning later that afternoon with a search warrant, Granger fired off at least 30 rounds at an armored vehicle, concentrating on the windows, Nutt said.
The next morning, Clements' body was found in the grave 2 to 3 feet deep behind the house. His identification and some of his clothing were found in an outbuilding.
Nutt said that Granger's wife was in the home during the shootout. He said they had to use tear gas to get her out and she refused to speak to authorities. He said Monday that she had not been arrested. A call to her home was not returned Monday.
The small town of Athens is 60 miles southeast of Dallas. Just south of Athens, the area where Granger lived ranges from quaint, well-kept homes to derelict mobile homes on lots littered with junk. Many have signs warning against trespassers or advising visitors to "Beware of dog."
Republican Bill Clements, 93, took office in 1979 and served two terms, with four years in between after being defeated by Democrat Mark White in 1982.
According to his obituary, Gill Clements, born Oct. 13, 1941, in Dallas, had a love of animals from a young age. Graduating from Southern Methodist University in 1963 with a finance degree, he went to work for First National Bank of Dallas before going to work in 1968 for SEDCO, the offshore drilling company his father founded. He was treasurer for four years before becoming president and chief executive officer in 1973.
After the company was sold for $1 billion to Schlumberger Ltd., he retired from the drilling business. Since 1985, he worked as an investor.
Gill Clements visited his Henderson County ranch often and in recent years bought neighboring land to extend his property, neighbors said.
Wood called Clements an "amazing, amazing guy."
"If anyone got to know Gill, it changed their life," he said.
"I thought that my friendship with Gill was unique," Wood said. "In talking to people to do a eulogy, everyone I talked to felt like they had the same relationship with Gill that I did."
Neighbor Lynda Warren, 67, said she knew neither Granger nor Clements but heard the shots fired on Friday afternoon.
"You think you live out in the country and you are pretty safe," she said.
Clements is survived by his father, his wife of 47 years, Pat, his three children and seven grandchildren.
A memorial service is set for Wednesday in Dallas.

With Santi White, whose stage name is Santogold, Downtown Music Publishing struck publishing gold, syncing every single song on her debut album — a rare feat.
"With Santogold, we've had Ford commercials, a major Budweiser commercial, play on 'Gossip Girl' and 'Grey's Anatomy,' 'Entourage' several times, plus several videogames," says Justin Kalifowitz, president of Downtown Music Publishing. "This success was largely due to Downtown's ability to speak on behalf of both the publishing and the master rights. It's not commonplace to have both."
It just so happens that Santogold records for DMP's sister label, Downtown Records, making the 2-year-old music entity a one-stop shop of sorts.
In most cases, the masters are controlled by one party, and the publishing could be controlled by several entities. "Clearly a one-stop-shop approach makes life much easier," explains Kalifowitz.
The recording industry may be shrinking faster than a polar ice cap, but Downtown Music Publishing is among a handful of companies that is signing the kinds of artists to deals that allows it to aggressively pursue placements in various media, allowing the company to avoid a heavy reliance on sales to consumers. And with fewer consumers willing to pay for new music, the practical solution for recording artists is to give their music a wide commercial berth, whether promoting a product or providing a needle drop in a primetime series aimed at a desirable demo.
They are not alone in this model; Lionsgate Music, for example, has a similar operation. But Downtown has shown itself to be a fluid operation capable of making decisions quickly, such as switching its distribution to Universal after just two years with Warner Music's Atlantic.
Gabe McDonaugh, senior producer of music and integration at advertising giant DDB, which produced the Bud Lite Lime/Santogold spot, says that "for a long time, the publishing side of the music was like the red-headed stepchild of the business. Now music publishing is really where the money is."
DMP's copyright roster of nearly 10,000 songs boasts material from such artists as Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent as well as nearly all artists signed to Downtown Records, including Carla Bruni, Cold War Kids, Spank Rock, Kid Sister and Mos Def. The label's biggest seller has been Gnarls Barkley.
While Downtown Records artists make up around 20% of DMP's artists, Jedd Katrancha, head of strategic marketing, has developed relationships with a handful of other label partners, including Dim Mak Records and Fools Gold Records. And the company recently signed a publishing deal with Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue, who controls the majority of the band's publishing.
Downtown followed up with a masters deal with Motley Crue's label, Eleven Seven Music (of which Sixx is president), meaning DMP now control the masters and publishing rights to classic hair metal anthems like "Girls Girls Girls" and "Home Sweet Home."
A similar deal was inked with prolific songwriter-producer Trevor Horn's Perfect Songs publishing catalog, which features classics like Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Relax" and Seal's "Kiss From a Rose" as well as songs by Yes and the Art of Noise.
The company has signed several songwriters to create original material, including Antonina Armato, who co-wrote and co-produced seven songs on the triple-platinum "Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus," including the hit single "See You Again," and the song "Bet on It" from the triple-platinum album "High School Musical 2."
In July, the company announced it had pacted with independent movie finance, production and international sales company the Film Dept., founded by former Miramax exec Mark Gill and former Yari Film Group COO Neil Sacker, to form the film music company TFD Music. The aim, says Kalifowitz, is "not only serving on the royalty collection side but as their liaison to the music business."
"It's about finding people to write original songs," he adds, "piecing an album soundtrack together and helping them stretch their film music dollar."

Many of my favorite bloggers have hit a homerun by creating various series that they revisit weekly to accrue your interest and readership. Seeing as I will most likely average 1-2 posts a month, I am self-aware enough to recognize my blogging habits as an inappropriate forum for said series. However, living full time in a 26-foot long, 8-foot wide Airstream (Andrew pointed out that the actual cabin space is 23-feet long and 7-feet wide) does give Andrew and I a bit of a unique perspective on a few things, mainly space. (Sidenote: I can't help but think of my brother, Dave Chappelle, and his take on "The United States of Space"). Naturally, however, I'm referring to the where-in-the-world-am-I-gonna-store-this-sewing-machine kind of space. So I thought I would share some of our very young and rudimentary knowledge about ways we've either cut down/simplified or down right shoved/slammed for the sake of making this Airstream home.
Speaking of rudimentary, I sew. But I sew while having my machine's manual attached to my hip. As with any skill, sewing takes repetition and discipline. My oldest sister, Charlotte, is a professional and lovingly taught me the basics close to three years ago. It wasn't until I got a sewing machine and a few necessities, however, that I put the discipline to the repetition. I have tackled a handful of projects such as the pillowcases and curtains in our Airstream, but recently was inspired by some fabric to dive into a bit of clothing. My dearest Mandy has one of those aforementioned endearing blog series that she calls "A Fabric and a Font" on her fabulous site FabricPaperGlue. Back in June she added this combination to the series and I was hooked. I bought the last 3 yards of "Berries Aqua" Pink Chalk Fabrics had to offer and became determined to make a wee dress.
Seeing as I needed something absurdly basic for my first take on any item of clothing, I went for a pillowcase-ish dress. Prudent Baby proved to have a simple, yet adorable tutorial that fit my limited skillz and understanding quite well. Besides a few setbacks–I may have sewn my armholes together at one point–I came out with three pretty adorable dresses. My nieces/goddaughters will be stylin next spring with this Lizzy House print.
My low-standard pride seems to have gotten ahead of the purpose of this post: making space for crafting. Due to the actual dimensions of the Airstream's aluminum boundaries, Andrew was very thoughtful and creative about storage during its restoration. This gives you several photos that show both the bed in the back and the benches up front under which is ample room to shove/slam clothing, blankets, etc. Beneath the long bench in our sitting/eating/den/whatever space is where I've carefully (depending on the day) placed boxes and bags ranging from stationery, jewelry-making essentials, my banjo (that's correct), fabric, to the sewing machine. Andrew's closet is home to our petite ironing board, and our miniature iron is crammed in with cleaning supplies just below the refrigerator. Odd, I know. I will bring you more photos and stories on how we delicately make space for all our odds and ends, but for now I'll leave you with proof that I made those dresses in this Airstream. It can happen.

Melissa A. McEuen. Making War, Making Women: Femininity and Duty on the American Home Front, 1941-1945. Athens: University of Georgia Press, 2011. xiv + 270 pp. $69.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8203-2904-8; $24.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-8203-2905-5.

Making Women's Bodies and Minds: The War, the Government, and the Press
Making War, Making Women: Femininity and Duty on the American Home Front, 1941-1945 is an excellent book that examines the American government's efforts to homogenize its women to support the war in cooperation with advertising agencies, such as J. Walter Thompson (JWT). The resulting advertising campaigns are the heart of McEuen's text, creating a book with three layers of scholarly interest. First, McEuen's narratives of the advertising campaigns lend historical depth and richness. Second, McEuen provides a feminist reading of the ad campaigns, which is steeped in the work of Deborah McDowell, Elizabeth Gros,z and Susan Bordo.[1] McDowell perceived a woman's body as a "battleground' a 'site of cultural conflict and contestation'"; Grosz viewed a woman's body as a "'cultural product' that has political demands written on it"; and Bordo helped inform McEuen's writing about "how and why women took certain steps to try to create desirable bodies" (p. 3). The third layer is race, illustrated through McEuen's investigation of the campaigns aimed at black women.
McEuen demonstrates in her five well-written chapters how the American government sought to get women out of the home and into the workforce to support the war effort through its relationship with advertising executives. A few such executives met in December of 1941 to seek out ways to organize corporate advertising to support the war effort, free of charge. In those meetings James Webb Young of JWT sought to collaborate with governmental representatives, creating the War Advertising Council. Webb and other ad executives used their talent and their agencies to tell Americans about food rationing, war bond sales, the importance of women in the nursing field, and how women could support the war effort by joining the military. In the process, they sought sell their products by teaching women how to be feminine. As McEuen notes, one ad campaign for Pond's skin cream, "conflated skin color and career with social status, national devotion, and in, some places, even democracy itself" (p. 10).
JWT and early pioneers of marketing joined with producers of Pond's skin cream, Lux soap, stocking companies, makeup companies, and clothing manufacturers, and all of them went to work to change opinions. As an example, McEuen provides details of one of Thompson's campaigns, titled the "New War Worker Advertising." This campaign sought to make a direct appeal to women to take part in the war effort. Earlier, a campaign for Pond's titled "She's Engaged" had encouraged women to use the cream to make themselves more feminine for their men. The New War Worker ad campaign, for example, focused on a woman working in a laboratory searching for harmful bacteria to help injured military men or those in war zones. She "has skilled hands" and a "highly trained mind" that are coupled with a "particularly lovely complexion--creamy smooth and white" (p. 18). McEuen's research not only brings the perspective of the campaign as a whole, but also tidbits of the back story that make the campaign come alive from the marketer's point of view. For example, one man told marketers that he considered lighter-skinned women more attractive, loveable, and more intelligent. From that type of opinion came advertising messages. Overall, this schizophrenia of working juxtaposed against being extremely feminine with perfect body parts was rampant. As McEuen notes, Webb's campaigns dramatized "women's anxieties in a wartime context, turning seemingly mundane tasks [such as] choosing and using cosmetics into decision[s] of political import" (p. 11).
Women who chose to work indeed did have some real problems, McEuen reveals. Housing, clothing, and work hours were significant problems for working women. Many landlords didn't want women renters. So they refused to rent to them, thus forcing many women into substandard living arrangements. McEuen includes excellent historical documentation of the housing crisis for white and black women, as well as the subsequent public opposition. This stereotype of women working also played into the reverse stereotype of a "working woman." One narrative was of the government and advertisers warning men away from women who might be out at night or who worked for a living (and were away from home late). This campaign was intended to protect men from venereal diseases. McEuen includes a reproduction of a 1940 poster that sports an image of a lovely, rather innocent-looking girl (the girl-next-door type). Three men are looking at her. The words on the poster say: "She may look clean--But. Pick-ups, "Good time" girls, Prostitutes Spread Syphilis and Gonorrhea. You can't beat the Axis if you get VD" (p. 52).
As noted, race, too, plays a significant role in McEuen's story. While Pond's sought to engage women in working toward lovely white skin by using the cream, no black women were ever used in these campaigns. Black women were taught different ways to buy different products. These advertising campaigns not only laid down guidelines for skin color, but also perpetuated class divisions. These media messages told black women that the only way they could succeed was to become as light-skinned as possible, as well as to adopt middle-class goals and values such as education and fashion.
In sum, McEuen uses the five chapters in the book to explore women's body parts that were the focus of these advertising campaigns. Chapter 1 focuses on women's skin and how the industry sought to sell products that would help a woman work in the world, but also be pale and soft-skinned for her potential mate. The second chapter focuses on women's hands and legs, leading us through the campaigns for shaving to stockings. As one advertisement exhorted, pay attention to your legs, everyone else does. McEuen also provides the development and release of Betty Grable's pin-up and the details of that "rear view."
In the third chapter, McEuen leads the reader through the advertising efforts to help women overcome their uncontrollable, rather smelly body. A campaign developed for Lux used Hollywood starlets to encourage women to use the soap so they would become daintier and more beautiful like these the Hollywood stars. These film stars were dainty, and had beautiful, sweet-smelling skin. Working women, if not properly cleaned and manicured, had the potential to be disease carriers, as noted above. Daily bathing, clean clothes--all were so important to help women be a support for their men overseas and to better position themselves to get the man and get married.
McEuen's fourth chapter focuses on clothing and how it, too, became an important element in women's support of the war effort. Clothing had always been decoration for women, but was even more so during this wartime period. Military men should be happy to see a well-dressed woman, the advertisers alleged. The War Production Board went to work using this story line, issuing General Limitation Order L-85, which limited the use of certain fibers in women's clothing. To do that, dresses had to be designed and produced in such a way that they used fewer materials. Thus women were offered clothes to buy that had narrower skirts, fewer decorations, shorter hems, belts, and standardized jacket lengths. Sweater girls were soon to be the rage. These regulations fit well into women's roles of conservation, too. Conserving food, natural materials, and now fabrics played seamlessly into the government's plan for encouraging women to live for the cause of war.
Finally, McEuen explores demands on women to be agreeable and demure--and to cultivate their minds--to support the war effort and the men in the trenches. Being sweet, kind, nurturing, and agreeable, all the while struggling to work, raise children, have a beautiful, sweet-smelling body, wear perfect clothes, and maintain a streamlined pantry (so as not be a hoarder during these lean years), was a lot for women to manage. But they had to. The men who came home from the war needed extra nurturing and kindly patience, these media messages asserted. Even children could come to resent unhappy and crabby mothers.
With a book full of examples of how the OWI, the U.S. Manpower Commission, and JWT and other agencies sought to make women focus on their skin, their body size (even going so far as to publish measurements of the ideal body), their hands, their lips, and how they smelled (sweet and clean), McEuen has written a most useful, interesting, and well-written history of a period still very influential on the Western psyche. This book needs to be in university libraries and on reading lists for courses in women's and gender studies.

The trinidad Guardian / Commissioner of Prisons Williams Alexander will be actively engaging in talks with acting Commissioner Stephen Williams on the issue of arming off-duty prisons officers.
He made the comment yesterday following the funeral for slain prison officer Richard Sandy at the St Barnabas Anglican Church, Pleasantville.
There have been increased calls by Prisons Officers Association president Ceron Richards for arming off-duty officers in the wake of Sandy's murder last weekend.
Yesterday, however, Alexander admitted this decision was up to Williams. He said they have had support from Williams in the past on the issue, but said the prison service also has the power to issue firearms based on officers' circumstances.
In light of the recent attacks on officers, Alexander said this policy has been stepped up but only for on duty officers. Cases involving arming off-duty officers were increasing but were still being determined by him, he said.
Asked whether more off-duty officers were now being given guns with the increasing attacks on officers, Alexander said, "We don't want the criminal elements to know everything we do, but there is a concerted effort to protect my officers. The lawless people must understand we will not sit idly by and allow our officers to be killed."
On whether it would not be a deterrent if criminals knew officers were armed, he said, "That is one argument, but you see the bravado of these people. You saw what happened to Dana Seetahal, you saw what happened to many high-profile persons in this country."
He said crime had climbed to another level and they will respond accordingly.
POA president Richards has also called for the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, which will allow officers to carry concealed firearms to protect themselves. He said although Firearm Users Licenses have been issued to prison officers by the police commissioner, it was just a few hundred of the 2000-plus prison service.
Also asked about the issue yesterday, National Security Minister Edmund Dillon said if discussions between the police and prison services call for legislative action to protect law enforcement officers it will be done. On the talks of firearm licenses for off-duty prison officers between Alexander and Williams, Dillon said: "That is a conversation that is taking place and continues to take place between the Commissioner of Prisons and the Commissioner of Police and if it is, based on the recommendations, if legislation is required, then it will be done."
He said he also promised to meet with the POA and the Fire Service Association to treat with outstanding issues.
The issue of protection for officers also came up during Sandy's funeral service. In eulogising his younger brother, Ricardo Sandy said it was time those in authority stopped playing with people's lives. He said it is not an issue about right or wrong, but that action needs to be taken to prevent more families from facing the harsh reality of a violent T&T.
Addressing Dillon and members of the T&T Prison Service directly, Ricardo said, "You all are playing with an issue that people's lives are involved in and their families. I am hurting because Richard was real, as real as they come."

The AS50 sniper/anti-materiel rifle is a .50BMG (NATO 12.7x99mm) developed to take down targets at very long range or engaging against lightly armored targets such as vehicles. This makes it absolutely devastating against soft targets, requiring just one hit to kill any player (or zombie, if someone were to actually shoot one with it) no matter where the bullet hits.
Note: the AS50 and the M107 no longer spawn in the official mod. The damage for both rifles has been set to zero to prevent hackers from using them.
Its counterpart in the game, the M107, is depicted as being less accurate and powerful, which holds true to reality. However, the M107 can be found at the northwest airfield barracks, while the AS50 can only be found at helicopter crash sites, making the M107 more common. The AS50 can, in addition to using its own specialized ammo, use M107 magazines but it lowers the base damage to equal the M107.
The weapon features two levels of zoom, the second one being accessible via the "+" key with the default key mapping. It is zero-able up to 1600m using the Page Up and Page Down keys in increments of 100m below 1000m, and 200m above. Being an anti-materiel rifle means that a single shot to the engine may be able to set a car aflame and possibly kill its occupants.
It will attract zombies in a large area, so when combined with the scarcity of ammo and few rounds per magazine, using it to kill zombies makes very little sense. Another downside is that the size of the gun creates a blind spot to the right of the player and can also reveal your position as it towers above your shoulder. On the other hand, a positive for the AS50 is its relatively quiet firing sound. Unlike the M107, which can reverberate around the area, the AS50 only has a low, albeit loud, popping sound. This makes the AS50 harder to find by its sound than the M107. Also keep in mind that these rifles fire supersonic bullets, traveling faster than the speed of sound. If you're the target and the sniper can aim properly, you'll get hit and probably die without hearing a thing.
Lets agro EVERYTHING
me and my friend, was walking to cherno, to get some blood (my friend had 4k blood) and we heard someone talking from the tree line, some guy came up, spawning a AS 50 TWS or something, was not noisy at all, still killed everything with one shot had thermal vision and shit like that o.0 we decided to drop them seeing that we dont want to get banned, so annoying just found a m4a3 which he destroyed :(
What is "Raw damage"?? :P
Actually, it's quite a quiet gun for it's power. No where near the loudness of the M107, and possibly as loud or quieter than the FN FAL.
unless theres a heli or hummvee i use my dmr
Found one of these beautiful snipers on namalsk, in one of the chopper crash sites, but without ammo tho.
The two different magazines it can use have different amounts of damage.
Shoot a round from this into an engine block of a vehicle to destroy it.
Well we can all say goodbye to this beauty, DayZ removed it but it still is in all forms of Arma 2 games.
Raw damage is how ArmA2 calculates damage to entities (enemies, vehicles, zombies, e.g. anything that moves).
In vanilla (unmodified) ArmA 2, soldiers doesn't have blood value. Instead they have a damage value, which is an integer appended to each limb, that defines if they are hurt (the player swears and aim gets rough), limping (the player visibly limps in 3rd person view and cannot sprint), leg broken or dead. It is also possible to be incapacitated in combat, making you need someone else's assistance, but to me it never happened outside the campaign and I don't know what are to ifs for a soldier to be incapacitated. a Vanilla ArmA 2 soldier can take a 9 total of raw damage before they are dead, the same as a DayZ zombie, or 4500 in blood damage. This value is calculated by the damage of the weapon, distance traveled (drop in speed due to air resistance) and limb hit (headshot might be a 999999, for torso hit is full damage and limbs look to take 1/2, maybe 2/3 damage).
The reason we got two values of damage is for the human controlled player to bleed out. Also, is a more user friendly value. The damage the weapon deals to you is converted into blood damage.
ASS50 are very good snipe can take down buildings if used enough ammo
found a group of tents with an AS50 TWS (i think) and 12m ammo in each tent...had a fantastic thermal scope on it which was nearly the size of the screen when viewing....used it for a couple of days on the same server...than my brother wanted to move to another server sigh....got on the other server and was instantly dead. Moral of the story don't listen to your brother lol or drop a hacked weapon off before you go to another server.
Alayton, that would be correct, the AS50 mag spawns with the gun at the heli crashes, and does about 5 times more damage (at range) than the m107 round. Bullet travel time is also slightly faster with the AS50 round. AS50 rounds are also quieter when fired from this gun. Note that though travel velocities differ, the gun remains properly zeroed no matter the ammunition type.
Taliman, I disagree. The AS50 when using AS50 rounds is actually remarkably quiet. This, combined with an effective range of up to 1200 meters should put the shooter far outside of any zombie aggro ranges. If you happen to be trying to snipe someone with an AS50 with zombies that close, you are doing it wrong.
I'd use the Barrett for people, but for AM, this is the best. If you use the 5 round 12.7mm It's unmatched for vehicle attacks. This is great for hiding in a forest, watching a chopper fly over, and then hitting one or two times and swatting it out of the sky.
Packs a punch but after firing run like hell!
@Indy2 you can get banned for picking up modded weapons and using them on almost all servers.....so don't talk endless u know Ur stuff
The AS50 CAN be the ultimate sniper in any situation, if the person using it knows how to shoot, i play in a clan with 9 other guys, and i have an As50.. And a DMR.. DMR for scouting and cover on suply runs, due to the 20 round mag. But for long distance and taking down helis, the AS50 is the best, one shot in the main rotor or engine of a heli, and the heli is a gonner. But if you arent used to use the AS50 then dont get it. It needs a really good sniper to use it. Otherwise, it is a waste of ammo and time.
me and my friend was playing on Taviana, we were killed on the bridge several times, untill server restart. then we found a jeep with pkm mounted on it, we rushed the bridge, found to dead guys, fully geard'up with 2 as50, we lotted them as quicly as we could, then we found a car longer down the bridge with another one! :D
Found this with an M107,FN-FAL and a M14 AIM at Arnoldstein Airport on Panthera Island
@ malau the 2 damages are the two ammo types. The 37.5k is for the M107 and the 174k is the AS50's special 5 mag ammo. The AS50's ammo is rare and found only with the gun while the M107 ammo I have found not only with the gun but in deer stands, civ buildings, etc. But the AS50 ammo can easily bring down a vehicle, but FYI I am sure others have more to say but do not try and shoot a heli down with it, even with the special ammo. I have tested it with friends and it does almost no damage to it. Also I have heard at long ranges the M107 ammo is more accurate because it does not drop as much, while the AS50's bullets drop more but I have heard they travel faster, so you will hit what you are aiming at much quicker. But once you fire prepare to move! Because this thing does not sound to loud when you fire, it has a very distinctive sound and aggros zombies pretty much all around you. I have had zombies run up hills from nearby cities to me after hearing this thing lol
What are the 2 different damage settings listed ?
I have considering taking this gun when I found it, But I came to the conclusion that holding this and finding ammunition would be too much of a hassle to do, especially if you are going solo. Im going to stick to my DMR for now. (Found the AS50 with no ammo, just saying.)
I still prefer m24
Do these do any damage to buildings? Can you shoot through a wall of a smaller wooden or block building?
@ Bosnac , because of the two ammo types it can use
Actually just found this at a crash site. Only time I've picked it up knowing most aren't legit
Alright, well i just found this at the NW airfield off a spawn, in a pile of m107 ammo, so i'm not sure what happened there. And i also found a fully loaded coyote backpack so i'm pretty positive the server was spawning things odd.
The audible range of an AS50 is at least 600m. I tested that with a friend and I could hear it over 600m through the forest.
@wobix That gun was hacked into the game. Any gun or vehicle not depicted in this DB found on a legit DayZ server was hacked into it, even minor variations, like a golden revolver. If you see one, don't pick it up. You can get banned from the server or even from playing on all legit servers, however the last is a BattleEye feature and is highly unlikely to get you banned if wasn't you who ran the script to spawn that item.
@yaqu, Are you sure Sacriel's squad weren't Pre-Firing?
If you prefer this to an m24 you've never used an as50.
This thing is insane. It is unbelievable overkill, you're basically shooting players/z's with a tank killer. That's armor piercing 50 cal rounds in to armorless flesh.
I used it, i agroed about 30 zombies, then i ran while 3 of my friends were laughing :/
A test has shown that this weapon have a different muzzle speeds using 5 Round AS50Mag and 10Rnd M107 Mag, and I don't mean the standard variation for muzzle speeds, resulting in inacuracy and less power. Wich doesn't make any sense, since both cartridges are loaded with .50 BMG (or NATO 12,7x99mm) and the AS50 uses a direct inpingement system for semi auto firing. It would make sense in the M107, since it is recoil operated, more pressure that a not full magazine spring would aply on the bolt carrier means more energy to eject the bullet and less to extract the shell
Found this gun inside of Electro hospital along with 10 clips, NV goggles and rangefinder. Didn't show as possible loot for hospital to my knowledge.
So I guess 174205 damage is good for blowing up helis or what?!?^^
Why does this game have 2 value for damage? Someone knows?
Thanks for the info alayton :D
Removed in 1.7.7. Never had it. I don't think i missed something.
I use the as50 and a dmr in my backpack mainly the dmr for closer range/night time but i prefer the as50 as its more silent in a way i find it i use m107 mags on players and the NATO rounds on vehicles (helicopers) as it is a 2 hit and disabled bullet
@Thaua you can never get a global ban from picking up a hacked weapon, only from scripting it in.
Believe it or not, the AS50 is the quietest of all the sniper rifles in DayZ.
although its said to only spawn at heli crash sites, ive found these in the fire stations and other general military a few times, and i doubt anyone would have dropped it in exchange for a diff weapon at a general military spawn.
I just destroyed Heli (Fallujah DayZ) with 2 guys inside with my AS50! I'm not sure how many bullets it need, because I shoot a lot and not saw all hits, but I'm sure not one bullet. I hit other heli before and it was still flying. This second not - http://goo.gl/xHHVG (steam SS)
Ok...I found one of these things in the back of a UAZ. And it has a thermal scope....The poor guy i stole this from :3
Here is a quick guide on proper AS50 usage:
"Proper? What the fuck are you talking about?" I'm talking about the weapon using a different mil-dot system than any other Sniper rifle in the game. Due to this circumstance a very high amount of players wielding this weapon are inable to land accurate shots without a range finder. In single player this can easily be fixed by adjusting your config files, in DayZ however it cannot because servers will simply not let you join with modified files. In order to get accurate results you have to adjust your usual assumption of a standing player to 1.4 meters height (yes, 1.4meters) and that of a crouched player to 1.0 meters height. Doing so will result in an accurate range estimate. This formula however is only correct for any range while using the original 5shot magazine of the as50. Since those are rare most players using the 10shot m107 magazine will continue to have problems hitting targets from ~600+ range to the target. This is due to the fact that the (absolutely illogical fact following) m107 rounds have SIGNIFICANTLY higher bullet drop than the as50 ones. Accurately hitting a target with m107 rounds on 800+ meters will be relatively hard and without a lot of practice it will basically be impossible to hit players at a distance of 1000m.
TL;DR r=1.375/h (standing) r=1000/h(crouched); effective range with m107 rounds falls off harsh at 800+ meters distance.
I don't know why my TRUE statement of the weapon not 1shotting players with m107 rounds @ like 500 meters distance when you do a leg shot was downvoted but it's a fact. If you hit arms/legs/feet/hands or anything non vital for living at a decent range with non nato rounds you will not 1shot players period.
Jut putting it out there that some company is building dayz from the ground up and will be released at Christmas better be praying Santa is looking out for you lol who believes that
Why does the AS50 have 2 damage values?
The most reliable Sniperrifle i have ever used. cant seem to miss with this bigboi!
Just found an AS50 TWS, took it of a guy i killed at the airfield. its amazing
This gun is useless without a rangefinder since the mildots are incorrect. I'd rather use a M107 than this. I'm currently carrying a M4A3 CCO, AS50 and an M24, and I use the M24 for basically every ranged encounter. The AS50 is only used against vehicles for me.
Just logged in at some US server, logged in near Three Valleys(but my loggout was in cherno :/ ??) and found this dead ghillie(his name was fluffy - RIP!) and he had a AS50 with 6 rounds and a M4A1 SD on him with 3 mags.
Gonna test it tomorrow, but with what I read here, I�'´m already impressed :)
Thanks "fluffy", where ever u may be, please rest in peace, or stand up like a zombie so I can shoot you.
This sniper is pretty awesome to troll with but other than that its garbage. I had this gun for the longest time just trollin cherno but ive also had a dmr and i prefer the dmr over the as50 for purposes that its quiter and more versaitle and i like night sniping cant do that with as50
M4RCCK man, u just described my character! and a few days ago i was precisely near berezino... just curious, did u kill the guy? (if u did then it snot me lol)
cant combine with night vision goggles... was very disappointed the other night :(
1 hit to kill player no matter what
At the moment i spawn in tree valleys in a barn, i see a grass moving... I was in my way to berezino then i shot various of times at that grass i saw moving whit my M9 SD... then i realize that was a high rank player the top, whit every item at toolbar two wepons, one of them was AS50 and M4A1 CCO ... man... i... AM LUCKY
I found one of these in a Military tent with ammo. So they must not only spawn at choppers.

All of us have done the burn-out at a red light, or taken that curve at more than the "suggested speed," imagining ourselves as racers while never leaving our street cars. With Performance Driving Experience (PDX) and Track Events, you don't have to dream anymore!
This is one of the many reasons you want to join SCCA so you can learn more about driving
Are you looking for the schedule and registration?
Sunday, April 8 We had a great event!
Saturday, October 13 PDX registration opens Sept 1
Track Night in America AutoCross:
May 15, June 6, July 10 and August 3.
Auto X MET COUNCIL COMPETITION SCHEDULE-2018 Want To Be A RACER?
Run at different track locations throughout the country, the PDX provides an instructional environment for drivers who simply want to
improve their driving skills and increase their enjoyment of driving their street vehicle. True to the "run what ya brung" adage,
all it takes to be a part is your street car, a valid license and a helmet.
You WILL Be A Better Driver with SCCA PDX / Track Event
PDX events are about you, the driver. Plenty of seat time, plenty of individual instruction and driving exercises make up a PDX; all of which is designed to educate you and make you more confident behind the wheel, both on the track and on the street.
Participants receive a solid blend of driving instruction, ranging from the classroom to in-car training to "follow me" drills. A wide range of topics are discussed and shown at a PDX, including: following a "racing line", passing zones, speed limits and other general driving techniques. Of course, each driver receives feedback from his or her instructor at the end of each lesson.
PDX events are non-competition based. Why? Because the focus is on you!
Three other levels of the Time Trials program provide competition, but it's important that the skills taught at a PDX are learned beforehand so you as a driver can enjoy the latter levels of the program the way they were intended.
You can attend a PDX as either a driver or a volunteer worker. And if you are on a budget, volunteering is the way to go! You'll get time on the track (with an instructor if you wish) and free lunch. It won't cost you anything and you still get the benefits!

Sex Offender Held In Alleged Probation Violation
By LORETTA WALDMAN; Courant Staff Writer
April 22, 2006
A 26-year old registered sex offender who was convicted in 2001 on child pornography charges is being held with bail set at $500,000 after allegedly violating the terms of his probation for a second time. James Borowy, whose last known address was 970 South Main St. in the Plantsville section of town, was arrested Monday. His bail was set at an appearance Wednesday in Superior Court in Bristol.

Professor Shankar's Troubles Self-Inflicted
Letter to the editor
July 17, 2014
A quick review of Central Connecticut State University's course catalog does not reveal a class entitled Victimology 101. It seems that the good professor, Ravi Shankar, may be preparing to teach one or perhaps a seminar on the subject in the fall [July 13, Opinion, "The Eight Things I Learned In Jail"]. What tripe. This fellow has been appointed to a tenured position at a public university and paid at the taxpayer's expense and he can't figure out how to stay out of jail. I look forward to seeing his syllabus for the next class he teaches.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — William Lynch testified Friday that he punched the priest he accuses of molesting him after memories of the alleged sexual abuse came flooding back across the decades and were so vivid that he felt threatened.
Lynch is on trial in San Jose after pleading not guilty to one count of assault and one count of elder abuse.
While he is the defendant in Santa Clara County court, his lawyers are attempting to put the retired priest on trial in the court of public opinion. The attorneys are using the alleged abuse in 1975 as a defense for the pummeling of Jerold Lindner on May 10, 2010. Lynch testified Friday that memories of the alleged abuse triggered a violent reaction when he confronted the retired priest on that afternoon.
Lynch says he initially drove from his San Francisco home to the Sacred Heart Jesuit Center in Los Gatos, where the priest lives. The center is a home for retired priests, but also a residence for clergy accused of sexual improprieties.
Lynch testified that he didn't intend to strike Lindner that day. Instead, he said he wanted to confront Lindner with a written confession of the alleged molestation that he wanted the priest to sign. The Catholic Church has paid out millions to settle lawsuits alleging Lindner sexually abused children, including Lynch when he was 7-years-old, but the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution expired before the allegations were made.
On Friday, Lynch said the priest "leered" at him "with the same look in his eyes" the priest had during the alleged molestation.
"I felt at that point he was a threat to me," Lynch said during sometimes emotional testimony. Lynch said that on "one level" he knew that the smaller, much older priest wasn't a physical threat to him. But he said another part of him reverted to when the priest allegedly assaulted him, and fear took over.
"As a rational adult, I'm not afraid," Lynch said. "But part of me is stuck where I was as a child."
Lynch said after he punched Lindner twice, the retired priest grabbed him by the throat just like he grabbed the 7-year-old Lynch during the alleged molestation in 1975. After scuffling for a few more moments, the incident ended when the receptionist entered the room.
Lindner was treated and released from the hospital after receiving stitches above his eye.
Lindner has steadfastly denied he molested anyone, a denial that even prosecutors in Lynch's assault trial don't believe. Santa Clara deputy district attorney Vicki Gemetti told jurors during her opening statement on June 20 that "the evidence will show" that Lindner molested Lynch and that she expected the retired priest to lie about it and deny the accusation. Nonetheless, she implored jurors to convict Lynch, arguing he took the law into his own hands.
As promised, Lindner did repeat his denial on the witness stand on June 20 after briefly testifying Lynch beat him without provocation. But before he could be cross-examined by Lynch's lawyers the next day, the retired priest invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and refused to testify any further. The judge also ordered the June 20 testimony stricken from the trial record and ordered the jury to ignore it when deliberating.
The judge on Friday shot down the defense's attempt to force Lindner to court Monday to resume testifying. Lynch's attorneys sent the priest a subpoena Thursday night compelling his testimony Monday. Lindner's attorney Joe Wall marched into court Friday afternoon and persuaded the judge to toss out the subpoena.
"It's harassing," Wall said. "I think it's being done for the sole purpose of causing a spectacle."
Defense attorneys are trying to convince the jury that Lynch's punching of the priest was unplanned and brought on by fear of a man he says molested him, while prosecutors are attempting to portray Lynch as planning the assault for years.
"This was a selfish act to make himself feel better," the prosecutor Gemetti told the judge after he dismissed the jury for lunch.
Earlier, during Gemetti's cross-examination, Lynch told the jury he put on gloves in the parking lot of the center before meeting with Lindner. She also had Lynch explain why he called the center using an alias the day before the incident, telling administrators he needed to deliver a message to Lindner about a death in the family.
Lynch said he used an alias and trumped-up story to "gain access" to Lindner. He testified that if he had used his real name, he would have been denied access to the center and Lindner because of his lawsuit and allegations he made.
Lynch also said during cross-examination that he had harbored fantasies of killing Lindner, but that he didn't intend to physically hurt him on May 10, 2010.
"If I wanted Father Jerry dead, he would be dead," Lynch testified. "It is something I thought about, but it is not something I would do."
Lynch faces four years in prison if convicted. He earlier turned down an offer of a year in jail in exchange for a guilty plea.

I also co-authored the book Voice Activated Integration – An Experiential Way to Unlock the Unconscious and Free the Body of the Energy of the Past.

I have a problem with my USB TC08: sometimes, at some or all sensors, it gives the wrong temperature (t-type sensor), typical 7 degrees lower than the actual temperature. This phenomenom occurs quite randomly: it can happen once and that be alright for days and then stick there no matter how many times you restart the computer.
I use the TC08 in combination with another usb datalogger (dataq) and a balance connected to the serial port. I use a similar combination on another PC, only with a serial TC08s, and I have never seen the problem there.
Has anyone seen similar behaviour and above all, who knows how to fix it?

After a month-long voyage from Russia, the steamship Lake Huron arrived in Halifax harbour on 20 January 1899. On board were 2100 official passengers plus stowaways, the first large group of Doukhobors to immigrate to Canada. Ten passengers had died en route, and many others were ill.
Political violence refers to the use of physical force to achieve or prevent political or economic change. In this specific sense, Canada (as compared to the US) has been a "peaceable kingdom." There has been no bloody revolution or massive civil war and very little of the "lawless West.
Anthony Richmond, in Global Apartheid (1994), suggests that refugees, racism and the new world order are integrally tied to social spatial segregation of peoples. The word apartheid literally means "aparthood" (neighbour-hood), that is, the separation of people into different areas.
There is no such thing as "the Canadian family." Membership in a family, the activities of those members in and out of the household, and the relationship among members varies with economic conditions and also with regions, historical periods, SOCIAL CLASS, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity.


text: I already posted this question on wiihacks.com , but I'm not sure anyone would reply so here it goes again.. I was reading somewhere that said something to the extent of depending on your chipset will determine if you will be able to play back up dvds or not. Anyway I checked my chipset via wiidrives.com and it seems I have a GC2R-D2A or a GC2-DMS. Mind you, my Wii is Japanese and it was produced it on 06. I'm also running on a 4.3 system. I'm assuming that since I don't have a new chipset, if I get a modchip I can burn and play backup Japanese version wii games but not American or Pal games, right b/c of the update...?..if anybody with advice about this could reply I would be grateful.

I had been smoking on and off for some 20 years when I last year decided to inhale fresh air instead. I was fed up with the ugly smell – and the lack of control.
Today: No cigarettes or nicotine for 365 days. I quitted cold turkey. There have been some temptations along the way but I survived. I am very proud of myself. Hurrah!
Every day without cigarettes is a fresher day. Deep fresh breathing is precious.
You can quit too. It wasn't easy but it wasn't hard either. It's not about easy or hard, it's about desicion. Let me know if you need any advise. Feel free to ask any question in the comment section below.
