U.S. Women's Press Kit for Pan American Cup
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 9, 2011) - Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa) scored a match-high 18 points in leading the U.S. Women's National Team to a 25-21, 25-16, 25-13 victory over Cuba Saturday evening in the bronze-medal match of the X Women's Pan American Cup at Juarez, Mexico.
Top-ranked Brazil will face Dominican Republic, which defeated the Americans Friday night in the semifinals, later tonight in the gold-medal match.
In last year's Pan American Cup semifinal, Dominican Republic defeated the U.S. in four sets as well and went on to win the gold medal. The Americans finished the 2010 Pan American Cup with the bronze medal after sweeping Cuba in the third-place match.
The U.S. reached one of its primary objectives of the tournament – berth into the 2012 FIVB World Grand Prix. By reaching the semifinals, the U.S. assured itself of qualification into the 2012 FIVB World Grand Prix. The top four NORCECA teams, Brazil and the top South American team other than Brazil in the final Pan American Cup standings earn berths into next year's World Grand Prix.
The U.S. used a 3-0 run to break an early 4-all tie in the opening set, but its second 3-0 run of the set after Cuba crawled back to within one led to a 20-16 advantage en route to a 25-21 victory. Team USA rallied from an 8-6 deficit in the second set with a 10-2 scoring run to take a 16-10 advantage, the pressed forward to a 25-16 victory. The Americans, with only six errors through the first two sets, served four aces in the second set alone to create pressure on the Cuba service reception. The U.S. picked up a 4-1 lead in the third set and gained a commanding advantage at 10-4 in pushing through to a 25-13 victory.
"I am pretty glad of Nancy Metcalf's performance," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "She had some offensive momentums during the match. We have learned valuable lessons in this tournament and our main goal was our qualification to next year's World Grand Prix."
Earlier in 2011, Cuba defeated Team USA in four sets during the Montreux Volley Masters semifinal round held in June.
Metcalf, who had started just one other match during the Pan American Cup that started July 1, tallied 15 kills on 22 swings, two aces and a block for her 18 points. The American middle blockers combined for 24 points in the victory. Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) totaled 11 kills on 14 errorless attacks and two blocks for 13 points, while captain Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.) contributed seven kills on 10 attacks and a match-high four blocks for 11 points. Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) added nine points all on kills in the victory, while Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) provided five kills, two blocks and an ace for eight points. Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.) rounded out the scoring with an ace.
Larson totaled a team-high eight digs with 17 of the team's 43 service receptions without an error, while Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) added five digs. Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) provided 13 assists in the victory.
Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) started Tamas and Akinradewo at middle blocker, Hodge and Larson at outside hitter, Metcalf opposite and Alisha Glass at setter. Davis was the libero for the match. Kim Glass was a serving sub in all three sets.
Team USA converted 59.5 percent of its attacks for kills as part of a .481 hitting efficiency. The U.S. limited its errors to eight for the entire match while holding a 47-35 advantage in kills and 9-6 margin in blocks. The Americans totaled four aces in the match to the Cubans' one, while holding a commanding 22-8 margin in digs. Team USA benefited from 15 Cuba errors in the match. Cuba converted 38.4 percent of its attacks with a .253 hitting efficiency.
Kenia Carcace lead Cuba with 16 points, while no other teammate scored more than seven points in the loss.
In addition to the medal matches, Canada defeated Peru 25-21, 25-22, 25-19 to place seventh in the tournament, while Puerto Rico rallied from two sets down to edge Argentina 23-25, 21-25, 25-23, 25-21, 15-13 for fifth place. In addition to the four teams competing in today's medal round matches, Puerto Rico and Argentina also qualified for the 2012 FIVB World Grand Prix.
The U.S. gained a 7-4 lead in the opening set after a Tamas kill, Akinradewo block and Cuba attack error. Team USA stretched the lead to 10-6 with kills from Akinradewo and Metcalf going into a Cuba timeout. Cuba sliced its gap in half with consecutive points at 11-9. Tamas put up a block after a Cuba service error to regain a four-point edge at 13-9. Cuba scored the first two points out of the second technical timeout to move to within 16-14, then closed to 17-16. Metcalf ended a long rally with a block and kill on consecutive plays after a Hodge kill leading to a 20-16 American advantage. Cuba responded by slicing the margin to 21-19 with consecutive points leading to a U.S. timeout. A Metcalf back-row kill and Tamas block extended the American lead to 23-19. Akinradewo ended the set at 25-21 with a kill, her sixth point of the set. Tamas and Metcalf also scored six points each in the opening set as the middle blockers combined for 12 points.
Cuba netted the first two-point cushion of the second set at 5-3. However, Larson tied the set at 5-all with a kill after a Cuba service error. A Cuba ace brought back to a two-point lead at 7-5. Larson slammed a kill and ace after the first technical timeout to tie the set at 8-all, then Hodge fired a cross-court winner for a 9-8 U.S. advantage. Metcalf hammered a kill from the right side then proceeded to serve an ace to extend the American lead to 12-10 at a Cuba timeout. Out of the break, Tamas took an overpass off the serve for a kill and Cuba followed another Metcalf ace to push the lead to 14-10. The U.S. scored a fifth and sixth straight points with a Tamas kill and block yielding a 16-10 advantage at the second technical timeout. Cuba scored the first two points out of the break to narrow the score to 16-12. Hodge hit a kill off the block and Kim Glass served an ace as a serving specialist at 18-12. The U.S. reached an eight-point lead at 21-13 with a Larson block, Akinradewo kill and Cuba error. Metcalf scored a kill and Akinradewo followed with a block on consecutive plays to inch the lead to 23-14. Hodge ended the set with a spike at 25-16. Metcalf ended the set with six points to lead the Americans, while Hodge, Akinradewo and Larson added four points each. The U.S. served four aces in the second set to create pressure on the Cuba service reception.
Metcalf scored three kills around a Tamas block to give the U.S. a quick 4-1 lead in the third set after Cuba served an ace for the first point. Metcalf and Larson downed consecutive kills providing the Americans an 8-4 lead at the first technical timeout. Out of the break, Akinradewo and Larson added a third and fourth straight points with kills at 10-4. The U.S. doubled-up Cuba at 14-7 with a Hodge kill. Alisha Glass tapped a kill over after a Cuba service error to increase the American lead to 17-9. Team USA used a 5-0 scoring spurt with kills from Akinradewo, Metcalf and Larson to take a 22-10 lead. Larson gave the U.S. match points with a kill after a Cuba error. The Americans won the set at 25-13 on a service error after Cuba saved two match points. Metcalf tallied six points in the set and the Americans benefited from seven Cuba errors in the period. Larson added four points in the third set.

This is the best pillow I've ever had, and I've had many pillows over my lifetime. I own the too expensive Tempurpedic Cloud pillow, but I like this one Much better, and I use this one instead. One improvement I would make with the pillow, is that I would offer it in two different Heights. This pillow comes in at about a 7 inch height. I think they should also offer an 8 1/2" height too for larger persons so that the shoulder width distance it properly taken up. What I do with this pillow to make up the height I want, is underneath my bed sheet right where the pillow rests, I placed a 1 1/2" foam piece the same size of the pillow, and then put the sheet over it, and the pillow rests on top of that - this way it gives the right height/loft for me. The Pillow itself is exceptional, and the way your head sinks into heaven so soft yet has just the just right 'springy push back' resistance, supports your head just right. I think this pillow should be called the cloud pillow and not the tempurpedic one, because theirs softly sinks with heat/weight yes, but after a few minutes when its action is finished, you then are laying on firm dough, whereas this Latex pillow, stays cloud soft all night... ...it's awesome. ps's, Review based on the pillows I received, however I did notice there appears to be different pillow densities even for the same model pillow (meaning some of the same model pillows are firmer or softer than others, and so I wish there was better factory consistency control on this density matter. Again though, if it were my company, I would offer in each of the three categories: soft, medium, firm.. ..I would offer two different height/lofts for each one. Also I noticed the firm pillow in this offering, is just way too firm!!! ...in my opinion and experience.
We ordered both medium and soft density pillows after having a firm pillow by another manufacturer be too hard. I feel like Goldilocks who can't find the one that's "just right!" Both the medium and soft density pillows felt identically too soft and fell completely flat upon laying on it, offering no support at all for a back or side sleeper. These are lighter weight, thin latex pillows, not like the higher quality types that feel heavy in weight. As a plus, there was no weird latex smell, which was nice, and it was a better length and width for our King pillow cases than some other brands of latex pillows, which seemingly skimp on dimension to cut costs. Also, double check the returns policy for each pillow you are considering, because not all of them are returnable (like these were not) and you may end up stuck with a pillow you can't use.
The pillow is what you pay for. It started out to be jus the reight density, however after only 4months of use, it is already starting to get flat!! which is exactly what i didn't want. After a neck injury, I have to use these pillows, because when you move they bounce back into place. However, a different brand that I had it took years for them to start to get flat. I am disappointed that only after four months, it is starting to get flat! !!!!!!
I am a petite woman and bought the firm pillow... it was a bit to thick I felt my neck tilted up too much so gave that to my husband and bought the medium. THe medium is thinner but "mushy" the way I like it. I would have added maybe 1/2 inch to its thickness but I am definitely keeping this one. THe best pillow for me, spongy soft but does not flatten like a pancake like a lot of memory foam ones I have bought and rejected (have had it it for almost 5 months).
I love latex bedding. Our bed is latex. That being said I wanted to get a nice latex pillow so I ordered a kingsize medium. The density and firmness was just right. The pillow comes in a flame retardant cover, followed by a cotton zip case. Well I've had this pillow for a year and haven't put the cotton zip case through the wash since I just wash our linen pillow case that protects it. Today I decided to remove the cotton zip case and saw through the flame retardant cover (its a mesh) that the pillow is disintegrating. There are big tablespoon chunks missing and traveling around in the pillow case. This pillow hasn't been exposed to temperature extremes, just regular use. I'm really dissappointed. The good news is that at this point you can't feel the unevenness but at some point you would.
Love the pillow. But the price wasn't any better on Overstock. I feel **(ish) dollars for a pillow is ridiculous.
Excellent product, fast delivery and well packaged. Very comfortable.
This purchase came on time and in perfect condition. I've always been picky about my pillows and these are perfect!
I love my Latex mattress. It is firm, cool contours to my body as I move and yet regains its shape. I was hoping the latex pillow would be similar and so I ordered this one and a supposedly firmer one with "more density". But the pillows felt the same. they were just too soft and it was uncomfortable the bounciness of it as I move the head. As a side sleeper I like something cool to my head, firm enough to hold my head straight but soft enough to feel comfortable as I move. besides being cool, it did not delivered on my other two needs. I returned it both.
I got this for my boyfriend after I noticed he kept 'stealing' just the corner of mine in his sleep (he goes to bed earlier than me). And it wasn't because he missed me. After a couple questions, he let me know mine was a little too firm so I got the medium density. He sleeps way longer through the night. I love latex pillows because you don't have to fluff them, or fight with them in the middle of the night and they stay cool. Two queen sized pillows fit nicely on a queen bed. The description was very accurate. The only thing I saw missing was it DOES come with a zippered cover, but I didn't see it stated. This was a bonus.

Everyone knows the food at Dos
Caminos is stellar. I don't know where they found their people during their lunch hours, but they should work hard to never let them go!"

Good guac but stone cold fish
tacos. Service was competent but indifferent."

Appetizers were note worthy, my
main course of ribeye however was brought to table twice, and twice was incorrectly cooked. Fresh guacamole was really tasty though. At the end manger removed the charge which was a nice and just gesture. My friends weren't impressed with their main dish either."

Really enjoyed having lunch at Dos
Caminos! Great food and awesome energy which made for an enjoyable midday break!"
Dined on 7/23/2014
My husband and I ate here with our
20-something nephew and had a great experience overall. The food is very authentic and not your run of the mill chain-store like fare. Guacamole was fantastic. Great for a group or party of two. Very happening place. Our waiter was particularly good and gave us some great suggestions. Will definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to others!"
Dined on 7/22/2014
Unfortunately I didn't get our
server's name, but he was SO attentive. Saw us looking at a subway map, and offered assistance. Was attentive without being intrusive and was very knowledgeable about the menu."
Dined on 7/22/2014
My husband liked his briskit
entree but my pescado tacos arrived lukewarm. It took so long to get the food I are it anyway. Guacamole and sangria were good and we would go back although with low expectations for the actual meals."
Dined on 7/19/2014
I thought this location might be
less of a twenty-something party scene than the downtown site, but on a summer Saturday evening, it was all large groups of young adults in celebratory mood. I will say that the staff was polite and professional, we were seated immediately once our party had all arrived and our server was friendly and efficient. The downstairs dining room is less raucous than the upstairs bar with its thundering music. But, bottom line, the margaritas were dilute, the guacamole tasteless, and the tacos flaccid and bland. All in all, a TGI Friday's caliber meal. With all the really good Mexican food in this city, I would recommend this location for a quick after-work drink, at most, then move on somewhere else for dinner."
Dined on 7/19/2014
I loved this resturant but when I
was there on Saturday I found out they changed the menus . I was not happy. I rallied and knew from past trips that the food was amazing. So I picked a special. It was very spicy and I winded up sending it back and chose my favorite veggie tacos. Well that changed too, in the past the veggie tacos were amazing. With marinated eggplant, mushrooms and I think onions and zucchini . Now they had avocado and some sort of chopped veggies on top. I was disappointed. My husband and son got the brisket and liked it but felt was giving them indigestion as they were eating it. I know sometimes resturants eliminate dishes to save money but it seems the quality changed as well Disappointing :(."
Dined on 7/19/2014
The first type of tequila I
ordered they ran out of. I ordered another type and they ran out of it as well. It took 15 minutes to find out whiley wife was enjoying her drink. I found it odd since both types of tequilas are standard on the drink list. Food was good."
Dined on 7/18/2014
Good food and inventive
margaritas. Don't forget to order sides as well tasty guacamole."

I kept hearing about Dos Caminos
and it lived up to my expectations. I didn't know the restaurant was as big as it was. Loved the decor!! Food was great tasting. I want to try it out at night and have a cocktail."
Dined on 7/16/2014
My husband chose Dos Caminos Third
Ave (one of our favorite go-to's) for a recent meal w/ a group of out of town guests (that included 3 children). I was surprised that on a Tues. night at 7pm the bar scene was spilling out in to the main restaurant & that there was a DJ stationed downstairs (we were seated at the table closest to him). While this made it difficult to carry on a conversation at a normal speaking level the food, & especially the service, made up for the loud room. Great guac as always, solid Mahi tacos, and apps. I appreciated the fact that a kids' menu was available and that it included accessible Mexican choices (rather than just chicken fingers). Our server was excellent with our guests who were not used to dining in NYC."
Dined on 7/15/2014
I love Dos Caminos, however, after
dinner tonight I'm not sure I will return to this location. I ordered the Grilled Mahi tacos and when they arrived they were ice cold. When our server returned to check on us, I asked if they could be re-made. Our server obliged and apologized. However, the 2nd plate of tacos were just as cold, if not colder then the first ones. The fish tacos are my go-to order at Dos Caminos (since the Shrimp tacos are no longer on the menu), but tonight they were not even edible. I was also disappointed that our server did not ask how the "fresh", remade tacos were. I've never complained before however, tonight was truly not acceptable. On a positive note, the guacamole and drinks were perfect."

The service was terrible. We never
received our guacamole appetizer, no one came to clean away our table at any point and it took forever to get our drinks. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone."
Dined on 7/13/2014
Wonderful fresh guacamole with
sauces!! Tacos only so-so."
Dined on 7/12/2014
The food here was faultless. The
Guacamole was great and so were the enchiladas and tacos. We also enjoyed the frozen margaritas. Our waiter was great - obliging and attentive and great about bringing more chips for guacamole and dip. The hostesses on the other hand, we're useless. It took 2 desks and 3 tried to get seated and we had a reservation that seemed to mysteriously go missing between desks."

I brought a friend from the UK
here who doesn't like Mexican food. He was surprised that he loved the food. It wasn't at all what je expected. I love the frozen pomegranate margaritas."
Dined on 7/8/2014
Very very good. The best guacamole
in N Y. A good Mexican place in the city"
Dined on 7/7/2014
Affordable and kid friendly for
brunch. This is a regular Sunday place for myself, wife and kids. We are big fan"
Dined on 7/6/2014
The best Mexican food I've had!
The only com is that the staffing was short so it took a while to get our check and leave."
Dined on 7/5/2014
Love this place. My fiance and I
can go for a nice lively dinner for two, or bring a group of friends for a hopped up fun evening out. We have a great experience every time we go here, this most recent visit was no exception."
Dined on 7/3/2014
We told the waiter we had to be in
and out in an hour. There were only a few other tables and he assured us it would be no problem. Didn't come back for 20 min to take our order. Guac never came out, food came out 30 min later, cold and the hamburger my friend ordered was so rare it wasn't even seared. Will never return. Don't waste your money."
Dined on 7/2/2014
Food & drinks are good, service is
slow & room is very hot."
Dined on 6/26/2014
We went to Dos Caminos for an
early dinner with kids and the grandparents and everyone was happy! Out waiter was new but was fantastic."
Dined on 6/26/2014
Good food but not spectacular.
Wasn't wowed but it was convenient for after works drinks and dinner. If you are looking for GREAT Mexican, head downtown to La Esquina."
Dined on 6/24/2014
We picked this restaurant for our
lunch date (four friends) and it was great. The food, especially the guacamole and the desert (the ice cream sundae) were amazing and definitely worth the cost, which might I add was exceptionally inexpensive compared to many places in this neighborhood. I will most definitely come back."
Dined on 6/24/2014
I have been to many Mexican
restaurants but always come back to my favorite - Dos Caminos. I love the service and the menu."
Dined on 6/24/2014
The margs and guac were amazing
but our tacos and enchiladas were luke warm at best. Entrees don't seem to be worth the price, but a really great place for drinks and appetizers."
Dined on 6/21/2014
The food was delicious, the
organic margarita was awesome and the waiter was excellent! Worth it!"
Dined on 6/20/2014
Dos Caminos is a nice place for a
business lunch. At first when when walked in, I thought it was going to be too loud, but then we were lead to a lower level with nice ambiance. The food is very good and our server was helpful. My dining companion has food allergies and her plate was clearly labeled. I'd go back."
Dined on 6/20/2014
Dos Caminos was one of the best
Mexican restaurants that I have been to. We shared warm tortilla chips with 3 types of salsas. I had the vegetable taco and my friend had the Carnitas or pork taco. Each meal came with rice and refried beans. The Margaritas were also sensational. We were too full for dessert. The waiter was appropriately attentive and knowledgeable about the food. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you like Mexican food or want to try something unique."

Lifeby Keith Richards and James Fox
Staff Pick
This riveting autobiography by celebrated (and famously hard-living) guitar legend Keith Richards reads with the unforgettable hook and crisp ferocity of the best Rolling Stones songs — most of which you'll rush to replay after learning about their creation.
Admit it, you didn't expect Keith to remember much, did you? Well, you were so wrong. His story is off-the-charts awesome, and, taken along with the Stones in Exile documentary, it made my year. Together they are everything I always wanted from my favorite genius outlaw.
"Keith Richards, 19 years old and a good kid at heart, wrote a letter to his Aunt Patty in 1962. After joking about the English weather — "I wonder which day summer falls on this year?" — he describes meeting Mick Jagger on a train station..." Jeff Baker, The Oregonian (Read the entire Oregonian review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
As lead guitarist of the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the riffs, the lyrics, and the songs that roused the world. A true and towering original, he has always walked his own path, spoken his mind, and done things his own way.
Now at last Richards pauses to tell his story in the most anticipated autobiography in decades. And what a story! Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records in a coldwater flat with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones, building a sound and a band out of music they loved. Finding fame and success as a bad-boy band, only to find themselves challenged by authorities everywhere. Dropping his guitar's sixth string to create a new sound that allowed him to create immortal riffs like those in "Honky Tonk Woman" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash." Falling in love with Anita Pallenberg, Brian Jones's girlfriend. Arrested and imprisoned for drug possession. Tax exile in France and recording Exile on Main Street. Ever-increasing fame, isolation, and addiction making life an ever faster frenzy. Through it all, Richards remained devoted to the music of the band, until even that was challenged by Mick Jagger's attempt at a solo career, leading to a decade of conflicts and ultimately the biggest reunion tour in history.
In a voice that is uniquely and unmistakably him — part growl, part laugh — Keith Richards brings us the truest rock-and-roll life of our times, unfettered and fearless and true.

Under Bed Storage
Utilising unused space beneath your bed to store away your possessions is a clever way to keep your bedrooms neat and tidy whilst not infringing on the look of your room.
We offer sensible solutions for this method with a range of under bed boxes that will fit neatly under most bedsteads. These are ideal for storing out of season clothes, toys and bedding. A selection of woven, plastic and strong cardboard boxes enables you to choose the best texture to suit your room decor and storage needs. These high quality boxes are all neutrally coloured and blend into rooms and the decor easily.
Alternatively, you may want to think about purchasing a bed or bed base with inbuilt drawers. This is the ultimate way to store large amounts of possessions without anyone noticing it being there. Incorporated behind the valance, these inbuilt drawers have a large stowage capacity yet neatly tuck underneath the body of the bed.
Available to buy online today, both the boxes and beds would add extra convenience in the form of innovative under bed storage solutions. Do not miss out on the opportunity to create more space in your home today.

When we horror fans take note of a new low-budget zombie movie (and we frequently do), our praise is often directed towards the film's novel hook, energetic presentation, or impressive splatter effects. (All three if we're really lucky.) But now comes a new low-budget zombie movie that's not all that novel (indeed it's virtually plotless), not very energetic at all (it's actually pretty talky), and it's not packing all that many zombie kills, truth be told.
So what's my point? That the $6,000 New England feature called The Battery is just another tiresome and generic piece of indie zombie foolishness?
Nope. If that were the case I probably wouldn't be reviewing the flick. (Who wants to bash a $6,000 movie?) But it's important to note that, while The Battery is most assuredly an impressive debut and a very interesting little movie, it is in no way a rock 'em, chomp 'em gore-fest that some of you may be expecting.
More of a droll New England mixture of The Walking Dead and Waiting for Godot than an action-horror flick with dry humor, The Battery is about nothing more than two friends who are traveling across the forests of New England after a zombie apocalypse has destroyed most of mankind. Ben (writer/director Jeremy Gardner) and Mickey (Adam Cronheim) are actually more like colleagues than actual pals, but they do display a firm sense of loyalty for one another as they tiptoe through woodlands packed with the ravenous undead. Ben is clearly the leader; a take-charge guy with a pretty great attitude (all things considered), and Mickey is more of the introverted (perhaps even timid) variety, and that's where much of the conflict found in The Battery comes from.
Kudos to Mr. Gardner for presenting a decidedly different take on the zombie apocalypse, and if a few of his experiments go on for perhaps a bit too long, there's always something to say for a flick that's willing to, say, sit patiently inside one location for about ten minutes while we wait for the two semi-heroes to figure out their next move. But Gardner and his co-star have done a fine job of setting up both the characters' low-key but creepy plight -and- the film's no-frills approach to storytelling....
Suffice to say that The Battery is not a zombie flick for all tastes, but taken as a two-person character study / reluctant buddy movie / legitimately novel slant on a very oft-told tale, there's certainly a lot to like here. If the 100-minute movie would be slightly more effective at 91 minutes, that's a small complaint. What matters is that there are a few good ideas to begin with. I'm not sure that The Battery pulls off everything it's aiming for, but it's always cool to see a new perspective on zombie-dom that's presented by two interesting actors. Plus, fine, Act III displays some true cleverness. Needless to say I'm curious to see what Jeremy Gardner would do with $12,000.

Recent Ka'u District Reviews
We stayed here during early January, 2014. We loved being here in this unit and at this location. We have no complaints except that we were not able to stay longer. The owners are easy to work with, and we plan to return again. We enjoyed snorkeling at the Black Sand Beach which is within walking distance of the condo. You are in for a bit of a drive from Hilo or Kona when flying in but it is worth it. The pool is wonderful. Sue and Peter obviously take great pride in providing a first rate experience for all their guests.
You might see a review from my wife as well. Very nice place and pretty much as advertised. Very good unit for 2 people but would be quite cramped for more than that. Well equiped unit with an easy walk to the pool area. Gas grills available as mentioned, easy to use. We cooked 4 dinners and had no trouble finding an open grill. Location is great for visiting black sand beach. About a 5-7 minute walk. Very pretty and we saw sea turtles every day in a little cove just before the beach and at the beach as well. As with previous reviews, location is definitely away from it all. If that is what you are looking for, this is the place. Would recommend doing grocery shopping in either Kona or Hilo. There are grocery stores about 10 minutes in each direction but pricey and limited selections. Internet connectivity is available but reliablity is directly related to distance from the office. This units connectivity is fair. I know this is vacation but searching for things to do via the web might require sitting outside the office :). Golf course is at the complex and i would give it mixed reviews. You can play for about $30 with cart but you get what you pay for. Several greens in rough conditions and not much fairway to speak of on many holes. There are several challenging holes and some great views. The course does not see a lot of action so getting on is not a challenge. It is a good way to start the morning. Volcanoe Golf and Country club is about 30-40 minutes away and is a great place to play. Overall a very good place to stay with good access to other parts of the island.

Man trapped when truck hits back of school bus in ProctorApril 10,2014Rob Mitchell / Staff Photo
Rutland Town Firefighters, State Police and Regional Ambulance service rescue workers prepare to extract a man from the cab of the truck he was driving when it hit the back of an empty school bus stopped at a railroad crossing.A man was injured and taken to the hospital after the truck he was driving ran into the back of an empty school bus that had stopped for a railroad crossing on Route 3 in Proctor this morning.
The man was trapped in the truck for about an hour while firefighters and rescue crews worked to cut away the truck around him and remove him from the cab. Emergency workers set up an IV bag while firefighters used a sawsall and a circular saw to cut, then peel away the roof of the truck cab. They removed the truck door, and then lifted the man out onto a stretcher.
He was taken to the hospital by Regional Ambulance Service around 9:30 a.m.
The bus driver was shooken up, but not seriously injured, according to police at the scene.
The truck was carrying three dogs; two in carriers in the back of the truck and one in the cab of the truck.
One dog escaped and ran around the accident scene while troopers tried to call it closer to attach a leash; the dog eventually ran off up the railroad tracks.
Det. Sgt. Butch Abdelnour of the Vermont State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation, coaxed one of dogs from the carrier into his car and sat with another by the side of the road, waiting for a family member to come to collect the canines. He had been in the area and responded to help out.
Rutland Town Fire Department, multiple State Police troopers, Rutland Town Police, the Rutland County Sherrif and Rutland Regional Ambulance responded to the scene.

Daily Star
---- — Shop Talk is a weekly column featuring locally owned and operated businesses. This week, we talk to Diane Nixon of The Ashley Studio in Delhi.
How long have you lived in the area?
Since the late 1980s, 23 years by way of New York City and London. We started the business in London in the late 1960s.
Tell me about your business:
We are a custom fabric designer/printer to the architectural and design trade; plus we are now getting back into the apparel and fashion area, where it all started back in London. We also create other home furnishing items such as pillows and lamps.
Describe a typical day in your business:
We begin our day with feeding the cats, 11 in total! After our breakfast, we review what needs doing, which could be printing, follow-up calls and cold calls, all in an efforts to bring in business, which is tough in this business economy.
How did you get started in this line of work?
We started in London, almost on a dare, to come up with something new.
Where do you see this business in five years?
We will either be successful with an expanded repertoire and be very busy or will be in a cabin in the woods or a hammock by the beach on in a tent on the White House lawn.
Describe a memorable moment in your workplace:
Working at the Russian Consulate on site-specific fabrics inspired by the interior décor of the Beaux Arts public rooms.
What have you learned from your work?
Patience and pleasure in the magical flow of creative work with various types of fabric and leather.
What is the most challenging part of what you do?
The preparation and the idiosyncrasies of the medium. The process that we follow is ancient and takes a great deal of time to develop a system that works in as close to traditional methods as possible.
The most enjoyable?
When you've completed work with which you feel has caught the essence, or is what the client has specified, or something you've done surprises you because you weren't expecting it and it pleases you.
How do you define success for your business?
Consideration for the client and the personal, conscientious service we extend. We deliver when we say we will and the repeat orders and additional business that comes through word of mouth is success in this business.
What are some advantages as well as drawbacks of doing business in this area?
For what we do, we are 'out of the loop' in our ability/location to attract new business opportunities. A representative might be useful, and a serious marketing plan would be even more useful. We don't have a standard line; therefore, we must work with someone who understands the work and the medium. Having an appreciative market is most important.
What sets you apart from your competitors?
We've been at this a long time; we understand our materials as well as what's possible or not. There are others in this field; all bring their own abilities, skills and eye. While there is craft in what we do, we are business people and this is how we earn our living.
What advice would you give to someone trying to enter your field of work?
That is a tough question to answer honestly. The economy continues to shrink and the creative element is one of its victims, in addition the regard _ or lack of _ that is given to the artist, in whatever medium. We would welcome the opportunity to share and 'teach' anyone interested in what we do. In fact, we would like to find an apprentice, a barter situation perhaps. We have a true natural colorist and creative talent in Robert, and in me you have the requisite office and vendor/client handling major domo. In both of us, a business appreciation and sense.

Falls man arrested with apparent stolen gun
Staff Reports
Niagara Gazette
Falls police arrested a Zito Drive man after it was reported he had fired off shots from a pistol near an ice cream stand on Niagara Falls Boulevard Tuesday afternoon.
Police were called to a gas station on the corner of Tuscarora Road and Niagara Falls Boulevard about 8:45 p.m. Tuesday for a report of a man firing shots from a gun outside the store. The man then left the area, walking east down the Boulevard.
A police officer caught up with Jose A. Colon Sr., 26, 9021 Zito Dr., Apt. 41, and ordered him to drop the weapon at gunpoint. Colon complied and was taken into custody without incident.
A witness told police Colon confronted him at the gas station and accused him of almost hitting his daughter with his car. Colon then fired shots from the gun. Police noted that several people were outside at a nearby ice cream stand at the time.
About 45 minutes after the incident, police were called to a Zito Drive home for a report of a stolen gun. A resident said he came home about 9:30 p.m. to find his revolver, box of ammo and $150 in change gone from the residence. The serial number of the missing gun matched the gun Colon was carrying when stopped by police.
Colon was eventually charged with first-degree reckless endangerment, second-degree menacing, second-degree burglary, fourth-degree grand larceny and petit larceny.

I have some exciting news to share–at least, it's exciting if the atomized world of overheated evangelical blogging matters greatly to you. Come Monday, October 22, 2012, I am beginning a new blog, ThoughtLife, on the Patheos Evangelical Portal. I don't know if you're familiar with this exploding corner of evangelical social media, but it's led by Timothy Dalrymple, a Christian public intellectual and wizard of entrepreneurial cultural engagement.
To use locker room language, I am pumped up to blog for Patheos. I'll join evangelical thought-leaders like Tommy Kidd (and the Anxious Bench crew), Joe Carter, David French, Adrian Warnock, Fred Sanders, and a host of others. I will continue to operate this humble little blog and will post regular content here (especially related to the ministry God has given me). But my heavy-duty public square engagement will take place over at Patheos.
A major part of what drew me to Patheos was the vision Tim laid out after beginning discussions about such a move. I am all about a big, bold vision. Here's a slice of what Tim has said he wants the Evangelical Portal to be:
The center of gravity of the Evangelical Channel presently rests just left of center. While the Evangelical Channel will continue to support its current roster of writers fully, it will seek to fortify its offering in Reformed and Baptist writers, and in culturally-savvy center-right social commentators.
There is not now a single venue that attracts compelling commentary from young, conservative evangelical public intellectuals. While maintaining our strengths in center and center-left writers, then, we're eager to extend our strength rightward on the spectrum. This is partly to represent American evangelicalism better, partly to give a new generation of conservative evangelicals a voice, and partly to form a more thoughtful approach to social and cultural engagement amongst conservative-leaning evangelicals.
You can read the whole thing here. I love this blueprint. Tim is right: there is currently no major go-to resource for conservative evangelicals on culture and public square issues. We have excellent media hubs for theology, spirituality, the gospel-driven Christian life, and news and issues affecting the church. But we very much need a home for evangelical public intellectuals. Patheos has drawn a number of gifted progressive Christians, but it's clear that the Evangelical Portal is featuring and more recently has been featuring a treasure-trove of conservative evangelical cultural engagement. That's just terrific to see.
Again, to be alongside outstanding evangelical scholars like the aforementioned Tommy Kidd and Fred Sanders is beyond exciting to me. I want ThoughtLife, and indeed much of my work, to be a kind of accessible David Wellsian take on culture and the public square. In other words, I want to bring all the megawatt scholarly power of the Bible, theology, and history to bear on modern issues (though I will probably have more to say about basketball and hip hop than Wells (!), a major intellectual influence on me–and fellow TEDS grad). The gospel remixes life.
So: get ready to add a new RSS feed and to "follow" a new blog. You don't need to drop your association with this little site; I'm still going to be "here," so to speak. But I hope you'll join me at ThoughtLife and make my experience there as profitable, sharpening, and downright fun as things are here.

CNHI News Service
FRANKFORT — Tuesday was the final day to file bills in the state House but that doesn't mean the possibility of a House redistricting plan or using instant racing revenues to fund a pension system fix are dead.
House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, has maintained the Democratic-controlled House should go ahead with its own redistricting plan even if the Republican-controlled Senate wants to wait for next year. The two chambers traditionally agree to pass the other's plans.
While the Senate passed a bill to reform the state employee pension system, that bill provides no funding or a source of funding to comply with a key recommendation of a pension task force that came up with the elements of the bill passed by the Senate.
Stumbo has said all along the bill should provide a dedicated funding source and he's mentioned both instant racing proceeds and proceeds from an increase in the cigarette tax.
On Tuesday the Speaker said two "vehicle" bills – essentially blank bills which can later be amended – would be filed, one of which could later be amended to carry both a pension fix funding mechanism and another which could subsequently be amended to carry a redistricting plan.
Last Friday, Sen. Johnny Ray Turner, D-Prestonsburg, filed a bill in the Senate to allow instant racing or historical racing, a form of pari-mutuel betting on races which have already occurred but the results of which aren't known to the better.
A Franklin Circuit Court ruled instant racing constitutional, but the Family Foundation appealed and the matter is now before the Kentucky Supreme Court. Turner's bill would render the court case moot.
The bill came on the same day that the Lexington Herald-Leader reported that Keeneland Association announced it is partnering with Full House Resorts to buy a racing track in Prestonsburg and move it to the Corbin area where the partners would offer quarter-horse racing and instant racing games.
Stumbo suggested the state take from those games could pay for the annually required contribution to the pension system, estimated at $327 million next year. The Republican Senate president, Robert Stivers, R-Manchester, has said projected revenue growths are enough to fund the pension fix.
But Gov. Steve Beshear says the projected revenue growth will be eaten up replacing one-time money in the current budget and natural growth in Medicaid and other programs.
Beshear said Tuesday he's always supported the idea of instant racing but thinks the revenue will be insufficient to provide significant general fund revenues that casino gambling would create. But he said he sees no likelihood of casino gambling passing this year.
While the governor didn't specifically endorse Stumbo's suggestion to use instant racing revenues or money from an increase in the cigarette tax, he said he appreciates the Speaker's attempts to find ways to fund the pension system fix.
He agrees with Stumbo that some funding source must be found if lawmakers approve the other measures in the Senate bill.
"The one thing I'm not going to do is to arrive next January, when we have a budget session and many of the legislature look at me and say, 'Well, if you need a $100 million to put in the pensions plan, go find it someplace,'" Beshear said.
"We've already found all that money," the governor continued. "We've balanced our budget for five years; we've cut $1.6 billion out of our budget over the past five years. There aren't any more big pots of money."
Stumbo said some combination of revenues from an increase in the cigarette tax and other revenue sources such as instant racing might be in the final House plan.
But he saw no likelihood that tax reform will pass in the 30-day non-budget session which requires a three-fifths majority to pass revenue measures.
As for the redistricting plan, Stumbo said mountain legislators from eastern Kentucky are still trying to work out a map for that region. The rest of the state is pretty much done, he said.
Eastern Kentucky has seen population losses meaning those Democratic lawmakers have to pick up voters in their districts.

Muskogee's celebration of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. begins today with the premiere showing of "Soul Food Junkies" at the Roxy Theater.
Events continue daily through Monday with a Soul Food Cook-off and the annual parade.
The celebration ends Monday evening with a commemorative musical and oratorical contest.
The events are well worth your attention and participation.
While you are enjoying the fun, please take time to remember the man and what he meant to our society.
Dr. King urged us to judge people by the content of their character and not just the color of their skin.
It was poignant in the 1960s and just as important now.
We are farther along in race relations than in the '60s, but we have many more miles to go.
Enjoy the activities.
Remember the dream.

Few sparks flew during what was mostly a polite debate Saturday among the Democratic candidates for the Fifth Congressional District at the Oliver Wolcott Library in Litchfield.
Candidates Elizabeth Esty, a former Cheshire state representative, Chris Donovan, Speaker of the House, who represents Meriden, and Dan Roberti, a Kent resident who has worked in public relations, were joined by about 40 people, mainly reporters and campaign staff in the debate, just two weeks before the Aug. 14 primary.
The issue of indictments surrounding illegal contributions to the Donovan campaign was alluded to only once — by Donovan — who simply said "the past couple of months have not been the greatest, but I can look you straight in the eye and tell you I have never let you down."
During the vast majority of the debate, the candidates responded to questions as to how they would handle issues such as energy policy, climate change, gun control, and boosting the manufacturing base in the Fifth District.
Esty provided specific examples as to what she would do if elected, while Donovan relied on his voting record in the state legislature, and Roberti repeatedly emphasized that renewable energy represents the future for the economy in the state.
But it was Esty, who until recently refrained from attack ads that have characterized the Roberti campaign, called into question Roberti's ethics and ties to a lobbying firm and big banks.
"Mr. Roberti is co-owner of a lobbying firm and CitiCorp is one of his clients … one of the banks responsible for the crisis," Esty said. "Roberti, who has no work history and no service history in this state, now has a super PAC dedicated to attacking me and Mr. Donovan is something we've never seen before."
Her comment came after Roberti answered a question on mortgage relief and community banking, saying the country needs to get back to community banking and that Congress "needs to make it harder for big banks to get away with not doing what they're supposed to — helping people have loans, start a future and being shepherds of them instead of just taking the profits along the way."
Roberti, Esty said, was not in a position to discuss regulating the bank industry.
"I don't see how you could stand here and tell the people of Connecticut as a co-owner of a lobbying firm that we should trust you to stand up and do what's right," Esty said. "I think we've had enough of lobbying groups."
Out of time, Roberti was unable to respond until his closing statement, in which he said that he is not a co-owner of a lobbying firm and that Esty has him confused with his father.
"I came here to talk about the issues and made a point to not bring up other outside rhetoric … I have divested myself of anything to do with that company," Roberti said.
Instead, he painted a picture of his life "getting housing for veterans, running a homeless shelter and helping people get jobs."
"Shame on you for making that lie," Roberti said to Esty.
Roberti finished his retort criticizing Esty for buying stock in oil companies and taking donations from companies her husband, Daniel Esty, commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, regulates.
The following is a list of issues and how the candidates responded to questions regarding each one.
Gun Control
Asked what measures they would take to prevent a recurrence of tragedies like the Aurora, CO, shooting, all three candidates discussed measures to limit the accessibility of assault weapons.
Esty, who called herself a longtime advocate of effective gun control, said she would "certainly support an assault weapons ban and other measures for protecting the public safety."
She also said she would support restricting the availability of high-volume cartridges and armor-piercing bullets.
"We have a Second Amendment. It is the law of the land and very important. It's used for public safety and personal protection but that's different from military weapons used to slaughter citizens," she said.
Donovan said he voted in favor of the assault weapon ban in Connecticut in 1993 and would do it again at the federal level.
"We still allow people to own guns and support our hunters, but there comes a time where we say we don't want another Gabby Gifford [situation]. We're worried about what people can do with assault weapons," Donovan said.
Roberti agreed that the right to bear arms is important but that the type of weapons available should be restricted.
"Congress has systematically peeled back the Brady Bill and it's important we have members of Congress to reinstall those," Roberti said.
Congress' Ability to Declare War
Donovan said Congress has abdicated the Constitutional power to declare war to the president and should take it back. Esty said something similar, while Roberti agreed that there were times, like when President Barack Obama ordered a special operation to kill Osama bin Laden, that call for the president to be able to act quickly.
Esty noted that advances in technology have also come to bear on the decision to wage war. The advent of drones and the ability to conduct a war from hundreds of miles away particularly requires a thoughtful, knowledgeable person in Congress to balance the country's moral obligations.
Bringing back manufacturing jobs to the Fifth District
The question of preparing workers for, and supporting the increase of, manufacturing jobs is particularly important to the district, which contains the cities of Torrington, Waterbury and Danbury, and each candidate had a different emphasis in addressing the issue.
Roberti said the country needs to "penalize corporations for shipping jobs overseas and reward small businesses making the effort to invest in the community."
He pointed to renewable energy as a major opportunity for job creation and mentioned offering seed money and mentorships.
Esty, as the granddaughter of an engineer who started a small gasket company in Iowa, said small companies like her grandfather's were coming back but need support from Washington.
"What we need in Congress is someone who can be a powerful, effective voice, stopping the tax laws that reward companies for shipping jobs overseas… enforcing trade laws, making sure a company can't get rewarded for using underage labor or slave labor," Esty said.
She also called for more training and apprenticeship programs.
Donovan touted the passage of the jobs bill and said the model of colleges tailoring curricula to meet the needs of employers, as was the case with Asnuntuck Community College, should be spread throughout the country.
He also said government needs to offer incentives and reward small businesses for creating jobs at home.
"If you want to stay here in America, we will be your best friend; we'll have tax cuts for you, but you keep your jobs here… I'm disturbed by companies that take jobs overseas are not getting taxed — that's not fair or take their jobs overseas and get green energy grants — that's not fair," Donovan said.
Esty added that the cost of energy is also a huge issue for businesses that could present an opportunity for job creation.
"We have clean energy companies in this district. That's a tremendous growth opportunity, particularly here in Fifth. The world needs clean, affordable, sustainable energy," Esty said. "We would be very smart to tie those two policies together."
Donovan added in health care costs, saying he organized a small business health care task force to find out what small businesses needed in relation to health care. Unanimously, he said, business owners said they need lower health care costs. Donovan said he supported Obama's health care plan, limiting profits and increasing subsidies and that he would like to see a Medicare plan offered to small businesses.
How should the federal government address climate change
Donovan said the state and the country needs more mass transit to reduce carbon emissions. In addition, he said, the government should work with auto companies to decrease emission, offer incentives for companies to reduce carbon emissions and consider a carbon tax.
Roberti said "we as Democrats need to stand up and fight these battles," and institute "serious cap and trade legislation." He also said the country needs more mass transit, more energy-efficient ways of moving people," including spreading high-speed rail and using the opportunity to create green jobs.
Esty said though Republicans may deny climate change, the insurance industry, having handled hundreds of thousands of claims in the wake of the October 2011 snowstorm and Hurricane Katrina, are well aware of the risks.
She said the issue calls for a worldwide approach because "if China and India get it wrong, we're sunk. We need bold leadership by the U.S … and informed, responsible people at the table who can not be bought by special interests."
Mortgage relief and strengthening community banking
Roberti said he would support the debt forgiveness plan and fight for similar legislation "to continue to help people find themselves under water."
He also said the country needs to get back to community banks and that big banks should start loaning out money instead of just sitting on profits.
Donovan said that "the reason banks make a lot of money is that a lot of people lose money." He also said that homeowners often are unsure of who to trust and how to get from underwater on their home loans.
"We need to be more aggressive, say to all those homeowners 'we have a plan, we will work with you, here is mediation, the lawyers you can trust, the banks you can work with' and give judges the right to say we can change the agreement and bring down the costs of homeownership," Donovan said.
