Washington (CNN) – An administration official told CNN that President Barack Obama "is being updated" on the outbreak of the Ebola virus in parts of Africa.
The administration official would not offer further details on the briefing.
Washington (CNN) – During an awards ceremony at the White House, President Barack Obama whispered in the ear of superstar musician Linda Ronstadt that he once had a crush on her.
The President admitted to the crowd afterwards that, "I told Linda Ronstadt I had a crush on her back in the day " Ronstadt joined Obama on stage, along with 11 other recipients of the 2013 National Medal of Arts.
Washington (CNN) – With some communities across the nation fighting attempts to house some of the unaccompanied Central American kids detained at the border, President Obama got a dose of welcome news from one of his closest political allies. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's administration says it is willing to house up to 1,000 children in city facilities.
"The influx of unaccompanied child migrants is a growing humanitarian crisis that we can no longer ignore," Emanuel said Sunday in a statement. "While we have our own challenges at home, we cannot turn our backs on children that are fleeing dangerous conditions. We will do our part to ensure that these children are given access to services and treated fairly and humanely."
Washington (CNN) – If you wanted a friend to defend your reputation against serious sideswipes, who better to do it than one of the most recognizable women in the world, with years of experience beating back barbs?
Enter Hillary Clinton in defense of President Barack Obama. As conservatives throw arrows aimed at the President's handling of multiple world crises, Clinton defended her former adversary-turned-boss-turned-friend.
The former secretary of state – and prospective presidential candidate - sat down with CNN's Fareed Zakaria for a wide-ranging interview taped Friday and aired Sunday on "CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS."
Some conservatives accuse Obama of not being tough enough on Russian President Vladimir Putin. Is the President appropriately handling the Ukranian crisis, Clinton was asked?
(CNN) - Russian President Vladimir Putin bears at least some responsibility for the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Friday.
"I think if there were any doubt it should be gone by now, that Vladimir Putin, certainly indirectly - through his support of the insurgents in eastern Ukraine and the supply of advanced weapons and, frankly, the presence of Russian Special Forces and intelligence agents - bears responsibility for what happened," she told CNN's Fareed Zakaria in an exclusive interview that will air Sunday.
Clinton's comments come just over a week since Flight MH17 crashed in eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 on board. Pro-Russian militants have been accused of downing the plane using Russia-supplied armaments and of interfering with the subsequent investigation at the crash site.
U.S. President Barack Obama last week called the crash a "wake-up call for Europe and the world that there are consequences to an escalating conflict in eastern Ukraine," a view Clinton echoed in urging Europe to go further.FULL STORY
Washington (CNN) – Amid the push for peace in the Middle East and the push for reduced tensions between Russia and the Ukraine, how much has President Barack Obama's leadership helped mitigate those dire situations?
Two top members of Congress offered starkly different characterizations on Sunday. While one praised the President's "strong" leadership, the other accused Obama of being "AWOL," serving up "passive responses to naked aggression all over the world."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, and South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, a member of the Armed Services Committee, offered their thoughts to CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley during interviews on CNN's "State of the Union."
Is it bad optics, Pelosi was asked, for the president to attend fundraisers as parts of the world seemingly blow up around him?
Washington (CNN) - If a rematch of the 2012 presidential election were held today, GOP nominee Mitt Romney would top President Barack Obama in the popular vote, according to a new national survey.
But a CNN/ORC International poll also indicates that if Romney changes his mind and runs again for the White House, Hillary Clinton would best him by double digits in a hypothetical showdown.
Washington (CNN) – Dan Pfeiffer, a longtime aide and senior adviser to President Barack Obama, told reporters Friday that recent talk of impeaching the President should not be considered a long shot.
"I would not discount that possibility," Pfeiffer said, pointing out that a CNN/ORC International poll released Friday indicated that a third of Americans think Obama should be impeached.
Washington (CNN) – There's not a lot of public appetite for a Republican push to sue President Barack Obama, or for calls by some conservatives to impeach him, according to a new national survey.
A CNN/ORC International poll released Friday morning also indicates that a small majority of Americans do not believe that Obama has gone too far in expanding the powers of the presidency.
(CNN) - In yet another sign that Congress will leave town next week without addressing the influx of young migrants at the southern border, a senior White House official acknowledged there are major doubts that lawmakers will approve President Barack Obama's request for emergency funding to deal with the crisis.
"Alarming if Congress leaves for the August recess without acting," the official told reporters ahead of the visit of three Central American presidents to the White House on Friday.

Violet Hill
From WikiColdplay
Violet Hill is a track included on Coldplay's fourth album, Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends and the album's first single, released on May 5, 2008.
One of the strongest of the new songs, the band was considering giving it away as a special promotion in coming weeks and then leaving it off the album. However it was later revealed that not only would Violet Hill end up being on the album, it would be the first single. Opening with a jagged distorted guitar riff, the song announces a new template: The stalking, bluesy beat fits nicely with Chris Martin's earthy vocals and plaintive lyrics: "If you love me, won't you let me know?"
The band also announced on April 28, 2008 that the single would be released from the official Coldplay website on April 29 for a week free of charge before the paid download on May 5. The song received its first radio play on April 29, 2008, on BBC Radio 1 at 12:13. Coldplay's new single 'Violet Hill' was downloaded for free by over 600,000 people in the 24 hours since it was made available at 12.15pm on April 29.
Chris Martin described the song as having a "chalky, pastel feeling" which he said reminds him of his childhood. "Imagine a pseudo guitar-like circus music with a pinch of Chicago... It's something new from us and you will be impressed."

First Release Of Violet Hill Causes Websites To Crash
Coldplay's new single 'Violet Hill' was downloaded for free by over 600,000 people in the first 24 hours when it was made available online at 12.15pm on Tuesday April 29, 2008. In the first 12 hours it was downloaded by 300,000. This figure doubled overnight as other countries logged on to Coldplay.com, the source of the free download. The single was made available free for a week and then released as a paid-for digital single on May 6, 2008.
Meanwhile, Last.fm were keen to point out that the Coldplay figures are a record, exceeding even the most popular track from the Radiohead album, In Rainbows, that was streamed for free back in October. That notched up 22,000 listens in 12 hours. Last.fm's figures are based, obviously, on the traffic that is scrobbled among Last.fm users, so these are only a minimum figure. But in 23 hours, there have already been 33,523 listens of Violet Hill - equivalent to 1 listen every 2.4 seconds. That's despite Coldplay's server wobbling about a bit under the weight of requests yesterday. Last.fm has already claimed a significant 119% rise in the number of click-throughs to Amazon's retail site since it introduced free streaming for the big four music labels.
Trending of Violet Hill
During Coldplay's headlining performance on the Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury festival on 25th June 2011, Violet Hill trended on Twitter worldwide after the song had been played.
Critics were positive towards the song. In the Los Angeles Times review of the album, critic Todd Martens wrote: "The song's first guitar crush arrives after a lengthy ambient intro, and brings an electrifying jolt to the striking piano melody. Martin brings a booming confidence to his vocals that has been more evident in Coldplay's live shows than on record."
Simon Vozick-Levinson from Entertainment Weekly wrote: "'Violet Hill' opens with a thin synth wash that's very Music for Airports, and proceeds from there to some droning, stabbing guitar textures that sound cooler than most any Coldplay tunes I can think of."
Kristina Feliciano of Paste magazine wrote: "You know you're in for a different kind of Coldplay experience when Chris Martin ditches his anguished falsetto for a deep, doomy basso profundo, as he does on 'Violet Hill'".
Mikael Wood of Spin magazine wrote: "'Violet Hill' pulls a similar fake-out, bludgeoning a delicate Eno-style soundscape with big Black Sabbath guitars.
Darcie Stevens of the Austin Chronicle wrote: "While the band's fourth LP begins light and pretty, its power breaks late-album with Old West tangent 'Violet Hill'". The song appeared on Rolling Stone's Hot List for May 2009, with the magazine calling it "a (relatively) hard-rocking attack on Fox News' America".
After the song's release, Violet Hill was featured in the music video games Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, as downloadable content, and in Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits. The single was covered by Pendulum, when they were guests in BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. The song has been mixed by Michael Brauer, who also mixed Coldplay's debut album, Parachutes. It was also featured on an episode of the UK soap opera, Hollyoaks.
The official video for Violet Hill was nominated for Best UK Video as well as Best Special Effects for the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. The track was also nominated for two Q awards in the categories of Best Track and Best Video; the song lost in both categories to Keane's "Spiralling" in Best Track and Vampire Weekend's "A-Punk" in Best Video, respectively. The song was nominated for two Grammy Awards in the categories of Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group.
First ever review
Coldplaying.com messageboard member locust7 [1] revealed on 18th April 2008 that he had already heard Violet Hill, almost two weeks before it was actually released on the internet. Although his sources were not revealed, his review turned out to be true, describing the song precisely. Here's his review:[2]
I know many of you are not going to believe me, but I've already heard Violet Hill. I'm not going to give away many details of how I did it, only that it was via an ipod, and a few days ago. And I see that everybody is so eager to know, that I think you finally deserved to share this with me. Believe or not, I'm going to give my impressions about it. It's awesome! The lyrics are the part that I can't remember precisely, because English is not my native language. The chorus is the same that Rolling Stone explained. However, the song does not start with the jagged guitar Rolling Stone said, but with an atmospheric intro of about 15-20 seconds very Eno-esque. Then the guitar and piano begin to sound. Their riffs are heavier, faster and louder than ever. I don't think I've heard Buckland studio work this hard (live you always hear it louder and lower), but it's very attractive combined with the piano.
Chris voice is his low voice of the Parachutes era, but seems to be just stronger, muscular, not delicate till the end of the song. Not a single falsetto note here. Also, the bass and drum sound different from general past Coldplay songs. Here they define the whole rhythm by themselves, especially Will's work. It's very distinctive and it has an intense effect between verses, and especially after every chorus. You think the drums are going to end, but they follow and remark these moments. You'll recognise very well this part of the song: bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam (six or seven times I think).
There's an intermediate guitar bridge before the final chorus, a continued riff, in which sometimes I thought of a Pink Floyd Dark Side or Pulse era, atmospheric soundful but at the peaks of the guitar distorted. After the final chorus, there's the end, a coda of 35-40 with Chris only on the piano and singing low. Here his voice is delicate but not mellow. Seems to express he's broken inside, sadder and lonelier than ever, and the song slowly fades after the last word and note and dissapears into atmospheric as well, bringing you loneliness but strength. The structure of the song is very Coldplayish, but the general sound is different, in the way of being more mature, stronger and epic without pretending it (unlike some X & Y songs). The instruments are very well integrated, much better than other times, but in many parts, an instrument carries by itself the song. Eno Production makes them sound louder, stronger but not pretentious. It feels both natural evolution, and I hope for the rest of the songs, seems to announce a more adult themed work and the step beyond we were awaiting.
Overall I give it 9,5/10. Ok. That's all folks. As I said, I know some will believe me and some will not. I'll be called liar by some, I have no doubts. But when all of you will be able to hear the song, and it's sooner than you expect, you'll know it's true.
And it was.
Music Video
Radiotimes.com announced an exclusive broadcast of Coldplay's new video for the forthcoming single, Violet Hill. It was due to be broadcast on UK's Channel 4 on May 13 at 11.05pm, however, this never occured, with the video instead being posted on the band's official website, along with an alternative Dancing Politicians version by Mat Whitecross, which spliced images of prominent politicians with images of the band taken from the official video.
The official video for Violet Hill was filmed in Sicily, Italy. It was originally thought that only 'Prospekt' was present in Italy, but Italian media that it was the whole band, ready to film a video for the first single of the fourth album. The film set was a very restricted area located in Enna (the Italian city at the highest altitude), near Nicoletti lake.
The video itself features the band performing the song with various instruments, dressed in their now familiar military outfits. On occasion, members of the band distort their faces with a magnifying glass. It ends with Chris Martin attempting to walk on snow, and failing somewhat.
Alternative Music Video - Dancing Politicians
An alternative music video, named 'Dancing Politicians', was posted on Coldplay's official website on 17 May 2008, directed by Mat Whitecross. The video is made up of clips, sometimes looped, featuring various politicians and scenes of war, along with clips of the band in Ada Mader's version of the video, as well as firework displays at the end. It prominently features George W. Bush, presenting clips of him in a mocking manner. Prominent personalities, such as Fidel Castro, Richard Nixon, Hugo Chávez, Robert Mugabe, Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Boris Yeltsin, Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Tony and Cherie Blair, and Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip are featured in this alternate video. This video is shown on a small on-stage TV screen at live shows, including the band's 2008 Viva la Vida tour.
A free Coldplay 7" vinyl single was given away with the May 7 issue of NME. The vinyl includes Violet Hill and non-album track A Spell A Rebel Yell, and is not available anywhere else.
Krissi Murison, deputy editor at the NME, said Chris Martin contacted them directly: "He called up our editor one night from the studio, he said 'I have just written this song [A Spell A Rebel Yell] and it's the pefect song. NME readers are gonna love it, we have to get it out there.'"
A Spell A Rebel Yell is absent from the commercial CD release of Violet Hill however, which includes Lost? as its b-side instead.
Reviews of Violet Hill have in the main been positive, even from those most sceptical of Coldplay's direction. One read:
Well, they promised us different, and I can confirm that Coldplay have delivered something different. But is it good? Hell yeah. Even speaking as a determined Coldplay hater, Violet Hill sounds dark, foreboding, and heavy. Less of the piano-sturbation, and Chris Martin retires the falsetto in favour of a more earthy vocal tone.
Violet Hill is a song rich in texture: fuzzed-up power chords, wailing string bends in the background, and some very atmospheric drumming from Will Champion. This most definitely rocks. If this is a sampler of Coldplay's new direction, then it's certainly enough to persuade me to listen to the album. Unlike other Coldplay songs I've heard, this has balls.
Gentlemen… well played. Thumbs up.

Song Facts
Lead singer Chris Martin told Entertainment Weekly that this was Coldplay's first attempt at a protest song. He added that the song is a nod to The Beatles, and Violet Hill is a street near Abbey Road.
After this song was offered as a free download for a week on coldplay.com in April, such was the demand that the site crashed. The week after this song was made available free for download, it still sold sufficient copies for it to debut at #8 on the UK chart and #40 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Drummer Will Champion told Q magazine about this song's bluesy Lennonesque sound: "We really tried to make it sound like this great big machine that was slightly knackered. Something that's slow and grinding. I'm sure people won't get that! A psychedelic title? Violet Hill is a road in St John's Wood (North-west London)."
Chris Martin revealed to Rolling Stone magazine that this was inspired by self-proclaimed "traditionalist" political commentator Bill O'Reilly. He said: "The first line in that song is the first line of any song we ever wrote. Years ago, when Guy [Berryman, bassist] heard that first line and that first little melody - 'It was a long and dark December' - he said, 'OK, I'll join the band.' But we just didn't have the other 49 lines until last year. And then one day I was watching Bill O'Reilly, and I was like, 'I know how to finish that song.' My best friend, Tim, he's a musician in a band called the High Wire, but he also has to work in a bar. He was having trouble with his boss, and it made me think that so many people spend their lives being told what to do by people that they just don't like. So it was that idea, and watching Bill O'Reilly, and all these words just came out."
Guy Berryman explained to MTV News how this came close to being left off the album: "It was one of the older songs we had been working on, and we had sort of moved it to one side from the list of songs that were going to be on the record. And there's this secret fifth member of the group, [manager] Phil Harvey, and he really championed it, as well as a few other people, so quite rightfully so, we dragged it back into the short list."
Two videos were made for this song. One of them, which was filmed on top of Mount Etna in Sicily was the first promo ever to receive a simultaneous premiere on VH1, MTV and The N. The other alternative video (named "Dancing Politicians") was described by Chris Martin to MTV News as "our favorite video we've ever made." He added: "We just thought it was funny that in the run-up to elections, everybody dances. And we thought, 'Wouldn't it be great to make a video of just politicians dancing?' So we did."
The Oracle on Violet Hill

Q. All I've got to say is lolwut...?
Please explain...xD
The Oracle replies:
All I've got to say is what on earth does lolwut mean? Actually, don't answer that I really do not wish to know...
Anyway, what's there to explain? You must have missed this alternative video when the single was released. Two were made and this one was directed by Mat Whitecross - long time friend and collaborator.
August 26, 2010 - submitted by Emmett, Canada
Q. Hey Oracle!
I found this video on the Coldplay YouTube channel from EMI and I was wondering if it's something that the boys had made, like is it a Coldplay production? Or just something they found they thought was cool and put up?
Thanks! Have a good day! :D
The Oracle replies:
Mat Whitecross met the band at UCL and directed their first video for Bigger Stronger. He has gone on to make some amazing films and at the start of the Viva campaign came up with this alternative video for its first single, Violet Hill.
The EMI/Coldplay YouTube account only shows official videos so this was a commissioned piece.
July 2, 2009 - submitted by Natale, Australia
Q. Hi Oracle
I was wondering apparently there are two videos for Violet Hill and Viva la Vida
Which are the official videos?
Also the other ones were they just jokes or just a tried ideas?
Hope you answer.
The Oracle replies:
There are indeed two videos for both of those tracks and both are official. They were far from jokes, they were just alternative videos. Trouble had two videos for different reasons. To find out why, click Trouble in the tag cloud.

Q. Dear Oracle,
Was the Violet Hill single with A Spell a Rebel Yell available anywhere outside the UK? I'm desperate and resorting to ebay.
The Oracle replies:
The combination of those two tracks on a physical format (7 inch vinyl) was only available as a free giveaway with the NME; unfortunately they cannot extend the offer outside of the U.K

Q. Hey, in one of your interviews on YouTube, the guy interviewing you said that Jonny's daughter came up with Violet Hill? is that true or was it a joke? 'Cause my sheet music said written by you four. Violet Hill rocks!
V i v a v i v a!
The Oracle replies:
Given that she was a baby at the time it's impossible! Her name is Violet, though Violet Hill is a place. You sheet music is correct.

Q. kk, 2 questions.
1: My dad won't believe me that the "dancing politicians" version of Violet Hill on youtube is official. Would you mind giving me proof of this so i can win this arguement once and for all?
2 Why is there a delay in posting the LiT ii music video to iTunes? I want to buy it so i can show all my buddies...
The Oracle replies:
1 Yes it is. The same chap who filmed the Bigger Stronger video made it. Seems both band and director have done pretty well. Mat Whitecross also directed the Lost!/Lost? videos amongst others. http://www.betweentheeyes.co.uk/page/music-videos/director/1034 2 Although the single isn't officially released it's on there. Ah but you're in the States and it's not available outside the U.K right now.
Was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember There was snow, white snow Clearly I remember From the windows they were watching While we froze down below When the future's architectured By a carnival of idiots on show You'd better lie low If you love me Won't you let me know? Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals And a fox became God Priests clutched onto bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles And the cross was held aloft Bury me in armor When I'm dead and hit the ground My nerves are poles that unfroze If you love me Won't you let me know? I don't want to be a soldier Who the captain of some sinking ship Would stow, far below So if you love me Why'd you let me go? I took my love down to violet hill There we sat in snow All that time she was silent still So if you love me Won't you let me know? If you love me Won't you let me know?

In a move that could have profound implications for the entertainment technology industry, the New York-based Entertainment Services and Technology Association (ESTA) is launching a global market research program, in concert with the trade organizations APIAS, CITT, PERA, PLASA, USITT, and VPLT. The aim is to provide manufacturers around the world with accurate market information for use in business planning, product development, charting trends, obtaining financing, and valuing their businesses.
The study will answer questions that have proved elusive until now. It will reveal the size of markets for specific product categories in both wholesale dollars and, where applicable, units broken down by geographic area. This means that, for the first time ever, companies will be able to accurately track their market shares, compare sales trends for specific product segments, and identify sales patterns of products by geographic regions worldwide. The geographic breakdown consists of several categories the United States, North/Central America, South America, Europe, Africa/Middle East, and Asia/Pacific Rim. The report will also chart growth by product category against the same quarter in the prior year and on an annual basis, and will indicate what percent of an overall product category is represented by a specific subcategory.
ESTA president Mike Wood says, "If you are a manufacturer in the entertainment technology industry, there are two questions that you are probably asked more than any others: How big is the market for your product and what is your share of that market? The best you are able to do is guess the answer - it may be a very educated guess, but it is still a guess. And as one manufacturer put it, `Your guesses don't always hold up very well under cross-examination.'" He adds that the information contained in the report will be invaluable for anyone looking to fund growth or acquisitions, as well as anyone planning to put their business up for sale.
Companies worried about their privacy can be assured that numerous safeguards have been put in place. ESTA has engaged an experienced accounting firm to receive and compile all data and to prepare and mail the report. Information will be aggregated at a total level; it will be impossible to identify the sources of the data. To achieve this, at least three manufacturers in each product category in each geographic area must agree to participate in the report on a continuing basis for it to be undertaken. If only three manufacturers agree to participate in a given category, or if a single manufacturer exceeds 50% of a product category, ESTA will ask each participant for their written permission to proceed. Only participating companies will have access to the reports.
Companies may sign up to participate in the initial report from now through December 2000. The next opportunity will not come until January 2002. No company will be allowed to join the report partway through the year, as this would skew the numbers and growth calculations for the year. For more information about the ESTA Market Research for Manufacturers, or to get a sign-up form, contact any member of the task group or Lori Rubinstein in the ESTA office at 212/224-1505, or by e-mail at email@example.com.

Breast-Conserving Surgery
Q. "If I choose a breast-conserving surgery, how much of my breast has to be taken out? Will it affect the look of my breast? What will the scar look like?"
A. Breast-conserving surgery is also known as lumpectomy, partial mastectomy, segmental mastectomy, or quadrantectomy. These surgeries remove the cancer but leave most of the breast intact. In a lumpectomy, the surgeon removes the cancer and some normal breast tissue surrounding the lump in order to obtain "margins" around the tumor that are free of cancer. The other types of breast-conserving surgery remove a somewhat larger area of the healthy breast. The appearance of the breast will depend on the size of the breast compared to the size of the cancer and the amount of healthy breast tissue that is removed. The appearance of the scar depends on the type of surgery and the location of the cancer.

World Heritage Marine Biodiversity Workshop: Filling Critical Gaps and Promoting Multi-Site Approaches to New Nominations of Tropical Coastal, Marine and Small Island Ecosystems
Cette page n'est pas intégralement disponible en français, vous pouvez la consulter en anglais.
Workshop participants gathered to assess the marine biodiversity of the tropical realm and identify opportunities to expand World Heritage coverage of areas of Outstanding Universal Value (OUV). The primary objectives of the workshop were to:
- Reach expert consensus on tropical coastal, marine, and small island ecosystems for potential nomination as World Heritage sites.
- Identify innovative opportunities for applying a multi-site approach (clusters and trans-border nomination) to pilot one or more World Heritage site nominations.
During the workshop, internationally and regionally recognized experts worked together to develop a scientifically-based consensus global list of areas of outstanding universal value for marine biodiversity for further consideration by State Parties to the World Heritage Convention and other interested entities for nominations on the World Heritage List.

The black-and-white trend continued to make its mark on the red carpet courtesy of AnnaSophia Robb, who joined Emilia Clarke on the red carpet for the 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' Broadway Opening Night at the Cort Theatre in New York City.
She wore an Alice + Olivia Spring 2013 dress.
Not only am I mesmerized by the diagonal stripes on her leather dress with a 60s A-line silhouette, but I also love her colourful accessories – someone has been paying attention on the set of 'Carrie's Diaries'.
She could've kept the look on trend wearing white pumps, but opted for a fuchsia coloured Jean-Michel Cazabat 'Lex' leather embossed snakeskin and suede platforms instead; plus, she added a green tote which looks like a grocery bag, when a clutch would've been preferred.
I should be grateful it wasn't a cross-body bag a la SJP.

Tuesday, a primary with pretty poor voter turnout chose the two major party candidates who will face off in the Senate special election June 25, while two dozen candidates hoping to succeed Mayor Thomas M. Menino of Boston began collecting signatures to get on the ballot in November.
Boston's next mayor and Massachusetts' next senator have the potential to be helpful, harmful, or just so-so for the region's innovation economy. But what has been surprising to me is how disengaged the tech, biopharma, and energy sectors have been in the process to fill these jobs.

Worked With:
Brent Spiner
Birth Name: Brent Spiner
Born: 02/02/1949
Born: 02/02/1949
Television proved to be Spiner's road to fame when he was cast as Data on the syndicated smash, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987-94). Any negative thoughts of playing a greenish-gold android-a potential knockoff of Leonard Nimoy's logical and unemotional Spock from the original series-soon vanished, as Spiner and the writers began exploring the conflict of being a living machine. Spiner's character became a 23rd Century Pinocchio-an eager, quizzical golem learning to become human. He reprised the role for the series' first feature, "Star Trek: Generations" (1995), and its sequels "Star Trek: First Contact" (1996), "Star Trek: Insurrection" (1998), and "Star Trek: Nemesis" (2002).

Embarkation: Very easy. Platinum VIP was a breeze.
Food: I don't do buffets, so I can not comment on those. Deli was good. Pizza was good. Mississippi BBQ (hamburgers, hot dogs, etc) was good. Formal dining room was consistently good every night. Room service arrived hot every morning and timely during the day.
Cabin: Very spacious. Lots of nooks to put stuff. Our cabin steward (hey Jorge) was excellent. We really liked the ice machines and coke machines in the room down the hall (like hotels have). They were very convenient. We were below the dining room, but never heard any noise.
Ship: It is large. Lots of walking. Decks 3 and 4 do not go all the way through because the kitchen and Atlantic Dining room block the middle. Deck 5 does go all the way through (Promenade). We just used Deck 5 to get from the back to the front. We liked the Green decor. The ship was clean and well maintained.
Ports: They were all fine. We can not do excursions because of our special needs son. So we always just do our own thing. Portland- We took a free Shipyard Brewery tour. That was interesting. Saint John- We just walked around the port. Halifax- We hired a private driver for an hour (Taxi 240) and he gave us more than our money's worth. We went to the Titanic Cemetery and the Citadel. He took us where ever we wanted to go to see the flavor of Halifax and answered all our questions directly and honestly. He was wonderful. We saw whales several times from the ship. And lots of dolphins playing and completely clearing the water. It was strictly by chance.
Staff and crew: I found them friendly and outgoing. But then I always greeted with with a big smile and let them know we appreciated their hard work. I have found that in this area, you get what you give.
Malcolm and the Social Hosts were fun and did an excellent job in dealing with our son's special needs.
I am big into karaoke. "DJ Kyle" was filling in for the regular karaoke host who had to go home because of an emergency. He did an excellent job for it not being his regular gig. He is usually the DJ in the Disco. They had a new karaoke host arriving on October 6th. For several hours every night, we packed out the 300 seating lounge. We had a ball. The crowds were thin the first night (which is usual) but after that..... we had a wonderful crowd to sing to. For those who came to listen and support those of us who love to sing, I say "Thank You".
Steve in the Red/Black Lounge was very good. Peter in the Piano Bar was also excellent. Simply Friends (playing in the Casino) are not to be missed. Fabulous!! The Legends Show was fun. (I was Gloria Estafan) The only down side is that they can only play the song in one key...and it was not the key I sing it in. But I made due with a little straining. The dancers, orchestra and tech guys were awesome!!! They make you feel like a star!! The costumes are excellent.
There were only 26 children total on board this cruise. So being "over run with kids" was not a problem!!
Shows: Hubby loves the shows no matter how many times he sees them. They were excellent on this ship. The comedians were good as well.
She had to listen to 2 of the other teens (and their clueless parents) complain because there were not more "teens" on board. (Like Ria could do anything about that.) Ria invited them to join she and DJ, but they said no. We later heard them say (and I quote)..."we did not pay all this money to party with some retarded kid". This was the same family of 15 that wanted the Disco closed so that their family could have a private party one night. Proof positive that the idiot apple does not fall far from the tree.
DJ had the cruise of a lifetime. He is very high functioning and is very good at video games. Even though he had never played the new Wii system, he picked it up quickly and won. Ria was not letting him win. They would pick and banter back and forth at one another. It was like watching a brother and sister chilling and having fun. DJ is almost 6 ft tall and Ria is a tiny little thing. It did not matter. She moved all that equipment twice a day for a solid week to make sure he had a good time. For a solid week, he was not a child with a disability. He was a normal 16 year old kid. How do you put a price on a gift like that?
DJ overcame his fear and went down the slide for the first time (to impress Ria) and then we could not get him off of it. (regardless of the temps) It was open every day and I even gave it a whirl!!!
I have had to explain to DJ that this was a once in a lifetime event. The cruise in December and the other 2 in January that we have coming up will not be like this. He will not get this one on one attention. And he said "I know Mom. You do not always get a pearl when you open an oyster, but I sure did this time". Ria was his pearl.
Needless to say, this was one of our best cruises. If you take this cruise next year, be aware that there will be very few children on board. This will be an older crowd. I would sail it again in a heartbeat. As with all our Carnival cruises, we got more than our money's worth!!

Diner Reviews
This is a restaurant that can
infuse flavors perfectly and taste like every ingredient (down the spices) were chopped fresh for each dish. This was the case of The Grill. Secondly, the ambiance of the staff and venue are very special. Imagine going to dinner at a traditional Latin family's home where they bring out the best linens, dishes and service they have. The manager/co-owner (ESTER) visited our table several times and kept a watchful eye to ensure our dining experience was special and enjoyable. We sampled a variety of Brazilian food since it was restaurant week. Our favorites were the Paella, the Galinha com cameroes, and grilled meats. Probably the coffee and desserts are also some of the best in the area."

This place ALWAYS has outstanding
food, service, and spicy goodness!! Enjoy it!!"
Dined on 8/11/2014
This is a restaurant that came a
long way, with a good sample of Brazilian cuisine, including feijoada, moqueca, coxinha, bobo' de camarao. In addition, the DC Choro band added a special touch with nostalgic samba, bossa nova, and the fantastic voice of Gigi. This is a place to start knowing Brazil and evolve into going to carnival and the 2016 Olympics in Rio!"
Dined on 8/10/2014
The food wasn't bad. Pretty
authentic (We've been to Brazil a few times). However, the price was way too high. NOT worth the money. Our waiter seemed like he was doing us a huge favor every time he came to our table. We felt like an inconvenience to him. Caipirinha (tradicional alcoholic drink) was tasty, but it didn't have much alcohol in it. For almost $9 per drink, it was definitely not worth it. The website advertises happy hour from 4-7 pm (even says so on the door), but it's just at the bar. You pay full price at a table. I'm not returning!"
Dined on 8/8/2014
The owner, Raquel, with her warm
welcome, the familiar environment and the great food made our dinner really pleasant. Will definitively return when in DC again."
Dined on 8/7/2014
It took the waiter 10 mins just to
come over to our table & get our drink order. We asked for a half tea/lemonade (DC staple) but he said he didn't even know if the 2 could be mixed together. I ordered the salmon & my friend ordered a chicken pasta with salad. The salmon was okay but I definitely have had better. The mashed potatoes that came with it had an entire can of salt in it. The salad my friend ordered had 10 pieces of lettuce. The pasta she ordered tasted so bland that she had to send it back. The waiter kept reaching over our plates to get menus, plates etc. off the table & even touched friends fork. Needless to say, this was the worst dining experience I have ever had. If I could give a negative rating, I would."

Good but not 24.99-an-entree good.

Ipanema Grill offered authentic
Brazillian food beyond the normal churrascaria in a relaxed friendly setting!"
Dined on 7/17/2014
We have eaten at the Grill From
Ipanema several times, and always enjoyed it. Usually we have terrific service. This last time was different. The food was good enough, and the owner/manager was gracious as always. However, our service was terrible. Our waitress could barely be bothered to serve us and she forgot some of our food. She never checked on us and we had to work very hard to find her most of the time. She didn't even bother to bring us the check and when we finally hailed someone else down to bring us our check, it took another ten minutes for our credit card to be returned to us, and someone else had to do that too. Granted, Brazil had just lost their game to Germany so everyone was in a bad mood, but that is no excuse."

Was there watching a World Cup
match. Place was packed and still received great service. Hats of to you."
Dined on 7/8/2014
It took one hour to get our food
and the appetizers came with the main meal--even when I specifically requested that this not happen. Service seemed chaotic and nonEnglish speaking staff made issues more challenging. Food is good. Having eaten here several times before, this time I brought family and friends from out of town. They were appropriately unimpressed. Sorry to say that I no longer view this as a neighborhood gem."
Dined on 6/28/2014
I had been wanting to try the
Brazilian dish feijoada for some time, so on a recent occasion, I took my sisters out to dinner here. The place did not disappoint -- great meals, drinks, and desserts. Would definitely recommend!"
Dined on 6/28/2014
I made a reservation during a
World Cup match when Brazil is playing, so my students could experience the Brazilian food and culture. Everything was good. I was just disappointed with the size, amount, cup presentation and price of the caipirinhas drink :-( It was served in tiny plastic cup (my boyfriend's even broke when he hold his cup), lots of ice and not much beverage :-( for basically 9.00 dollars....:-("
Dined on 6/23/2014
The good was way overpriced.
Appetizers were 10 each and we were served no more more than half a cup of food was served. The beer was warm and the service was too slow."
Dined on 6/23/2014
Love this place. Had a fantastic
afternoon feijoada here! Was so satisfied afterwards!"
Dined on 6/22/2014
We met to provide an appreciation
dinner for one of our teachers. Considering our limited budget, we opted to order food "tapas style" with 1 large salad and one entree, and 4 appetizers - for 4 people. Our server was extremely friendly and accommodating. I have been to establishments where servers give patrons a hard time for ordering appetizers only. This was not the case here. Our group reservation had also changed from 8 to 4, which I mentioned upon arrival -not a problem. The food was great, I would recommend the Brazilian paella, the black bean coxhina, in particular. This was our second year hosting our "teacher appreciation" dinner here; and we had the same great experience last year as well."
Dined on 6/18/2014
Bon de mais means super good in
Portuguese. I've been eating at the Grill for over 20 years. The owner, Elce, was a chef in Brasil and recreates the authentic Brazilian dining experience. His mexilhões a carioca, Carioca Mussels with a green sauce I have never had anywhere else are a reason to keep going back. The carne picahna is my favorite entree. You cannot go wrong by starting out with a traditional Caipirinha, the national drink of brasil, and some mandioca frita, otherwise known as yuca."
Dined on 6/12/2014
Cozy, welcoming little place.
Extensive menu of Brazilian specialties. Great food. Most excellent caipirinhas. Staff mostly Brazilians. Indoor and outdoor tables. It feels like a neighborhood restaurant somewhere in Brazil. But it's actually in Adams-Morgan a 10 minute stroll from the Woodley Park Metro station. Bacana mesma."
Dined on 6/10/2014
I have been coming to The Grill
From Ipanema for over 20 years and have always had consistent excellent Brazilian food. I began courting my wife there when I was single and this started her love affair with Brazil. I recently planned to meet friends there for a special evening. Although my friends didn't make it the staff was willing to accommodate me despite the "no show". The food was delicious and the staff, especially Edward, were attentive and professional. I can't wait to go back."
Dined on 6/6/2014
We chose this local restaurant for
the first time en route to the Gala Theatre. Great find. Lovely welcome from one of the family owners. Tried an excellent Brazilian cocktail in their happy hour and then opted for the caldeirana with sea food. Lovely food and great friendly and efficient staff. The restaurant is now on our list - and we will return"
Dined on 6/6/2014
The muqueca bahiana was tasty. It
just did not taste like muqueca bahiana is supposed to taste. And the caipirinhas were small and weak. Both had been better in the past."

hostess/waitress seated us right away. We sat outside for a long, long time waiting for water. Our waitress, who was really animated, took our drink and appetizer order quickly. The wine came and the apps came quickly too. But then, we waited, and waited for our entree. I had ordered my meat cooked medium - and it was more like well done. Great flavor of all of the food, though. Would have been so much better if the service was faster. "

We love "grill from Ipanema".
Great food , outstanding service and the best caipirinhas in town. "

We had a really nice meal with my
visiting parents, and were happy with just about all of it. Friendly, welcoming service, nice atmosphere, great menu, fair prices, good valet parking. Only quibble is the meat quality: two of us had various preparations of rump steak, and one of us got a steak that was extremely tough and chewy. Everyone else was very happy with their food. The prices are reasonable and we do not expect five start meat quality, but the second rump steak was really inferior quality and detracted significantly from the meal. I hope they can do a better job of meat selection in future as otherwise this is really a great place going into its third decade in the neighborhood."

My friend and I had dinner at the
grill and everything was amasing !! The service is great and you fell like you are in Brazil ! The feijoada is the best ! "

Great food, great atmosphere,
overall A+ I will definitely be going back!! If you're looking to try something new or just looking for change from the typical american cuisine, you should start here!! It's definitely different in terms of how food is prepared/served, but still meets the american standard for those questioning if the food is too different. Service was spectacular and my friends and I had such a good time!"

Start with a Brazilian cocktail
and take the staff recommendations the first time. Cheaper than flying to Rio!"

Excellent and authentic recipes
along with a good wine list at reasonable prices. We would return on a future visit. Its close to the Shoreham and Marriott hotels."

My husband and I went to the Grill
from Ipanema on our vacation to the D.C. area. We loved this restaurant! The food was delicious and authentic, and the service was fantastic. Our waitstaff were very helpful and explained the different Brazilian cuisines to us. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal! The appetizers were delicious -- we especially enjoyed the croquettes. Also, you can't go wrong with the authentic Brazilian cocktails - the caipirinha was a real treat! Highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a nice evening and a delicious and authentic meal!"

I visited this restaurant with a
party of 10 for my birthday dinner. It was easy to find; parking on our own was difficult so the $10 valet was perfect (note: the valet parks cars in special areas along the street, not in a lot). We were greeted and seated immediately, and my later guests were brought to our table as they arrived. Service was prompt and friendly; the servers made us feel at ease about pronouncing the names of our dishes, which was a feat for people unfamiliar with Brazilian cuisine. My food (Coxinha De Galinha & Churrasco Misto) was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS ...although the beef was a little undercooked for my liking. The drinks were great too but small. Def would eat here again but for a special occasion as it is a bit pricey."

Cachaca cocktails are great!
Mopeca (sp?) tomato, fish dish was the best! They let us turn our table so that we could see the band. The band members greeted the audience on their break. Romantic, kid-friendly, it felt like home. Thank you!"
Dined on 3/2/2014
First of all, the meats are
fantastic! There are over 10 different types of meat to try and 80 percent are exquisite! The meat melts in your mouth. No gristle. My favorites are the cheese steak, tri-tip, filet mignon, & parmesan pork' The others were very good. The only one that was okay to me was the sausage. Second, the salad bar is fantastic! Even my vegetarian friend loved it! My two favorites were ratatouille and caprese salads. The fresh fruits were incredible. For dessert, I loved the cinnamon pineapple from the grill. The atmosphere is wonderful. It overlooks the Puget Sound. Great place to go. The meal can initially seem pricey; however, it's well worth the money for all the great food I ate! Highly recommended!"

This was a great place for a group
of 10. The food was good the drinks fantastic. The service was good but not great. Still had a great time and would go again - especially for the great caipirinhas!"

Had Valentine's Day Dinner. Our
group of 4 ordered from the special VDay combo menu for the occasion that had appetizer, dinner, and dessert options ($39.95 / per). I wasn't completely happy with my selection and neither was my wife. Had potato soup which was a puree and highly garlicy. I ordered my steak medium and it came rare, my wife had the customary Brazilian dish and she didn't really like the flavors. Upon leaving we notice more interesting looking dishes ordered by others that were not on the special menu. The waitress gave us an extra glass of wine and after letting her know we said we would drink it - on bill. It was a college age crowd with a blend of ethnic backgrounds. Parking was by valet. Not my favorite, but not worst."

Valentine's day special dinner
turned out to be a great experience. Very friendly and courteous staff, great portions, and GREAT food."
Dined on 2/14/2014
I had a terrible experience here
with my girlfriend over valentines day (which is coincidentally BOTH of our birthdays, so this was a big deal). Started off with us ordering food and the waitress unable to fully explain the foods to us. I then ordered the steak and my girlfriend the chicken on the price fixe menu for valentines day, and I told the waitress we do not eat pork, so no bacon. She then said 'its only a little bit of bacon' and I said we do not eat pork, so no bacon. She was very hesitant and then said i'll see if I can get you white rice. So then we wait, and wait, and wait, the food finally comes out and I get white rice... and my girlfriend gets bacon. Long story short, bad service, mediocre food, would not visit again."
Dined on 2/14/2014
This is one of the best
restaurants I've ever been to. Took my date there on Valentine's Day 2014. None of the servers spoke very good English it seemed like, but that's not that big of a deal - gave it a more authentic feel I guess. But the steak, while not a massive, traditional steakhouse slab of meat, was some of the best tasting steak I've ever had, and the amount was still enough to fill me up. The sides were also extremely good, and filling. All in all it was just amazing."

St. Patrick's Day poetry reading draws crowds to D.G. Wills bookstore in La Jolla
The audience spills out into the alley next to D.G. Wills bookstore for the annual St. Patrick's Day poetry reading.
Click on the NEXT> button above to see all 8 photos from the D.G. Wills St. Patrick's Day poetry reading.
D.G. Wills bookstore in La Jolla hosted its annual St. Patrick's Day poetry reading on March 17, 2013 with experts and novices alike reading works by Irish authors. For the 34th year, the front of the bookstore was cleared out to make room for those in attendance, though it apparently wasn't enough, as the audience spilled out into the street and alley on Girard Avenue (speakers were hooked up outside so everyone could hear). As they came and went throughout the night, patrons enjoyed Smithwick's ale and Harps lager while listening to the good words.

From the University of Nevada:
Free radon test kits are available through Feb. 28 at University of Nevada Cooperative Extension offices and partner offices statewide. Nevadans are encouraged to take advantage of this free offer to test their homes for this dangerous gas. The tests are extremely easy to conduct.
Radon is a radioactive, colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that comes from the ground. It accumulates in homes and can cause lung cancer. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates 21,000 Americans die each year from radon-induced lung cancer, killing more people than secondhand smoke, drunk driving, falls in the home, drowning or house fires. This type of lung cancer is preventable, and the only way to know if a home has elevated levels is to test it. Cooperative Extension has been working to raise awareness of the dangers of radon in the home since 2007. They have distributed radon test kits since 2008. Since that time, more than 16,000 homes have been tested in Nevada, and results indicate that one in four found potentially hazardous radon levels. Once detected, there are fairly easy, inexpensive ways to reduce the radon exposure to safe levels.
January is also National Radon Action Month, and to better help communities comprehend the dangers of radon, the Nevada Radon Education Program will offer presentations at various locations. Test kits will also be available at the presentations.
Scheduled presentations for Reno, Sparks, Carson, Tahoe and Douglas are:• Jan. 9 – Sierra View Library, 4001 S. Virginia St., Reno, at 3:30 p.m.• Jan. 11 – North Valleys Library, 1075 N. Hills Blvd. #340, Reno, at 11 a.m.• Jan. 22 – South Valleys Library, 15650A Wedge Parkway, Reno, at 6 p.m.• Jan. 27 – Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, 128 Market St., Stateline, at 6 p.m.• Jan. 28 – UC Davis/Tahoe Environmental Research Center (TERC) at Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences, 291 Country Club Drive, Incline Village, at 6 p.m. (with a reception at 5:30 p.m.)• Jan. 29 – CVIC Hall, 1604 Esmeralda Ave., Minden, at 6 p.m. (Radon Poster Contest Awards after program)• Jan. 30 – Carson City Sheriff's Office, 911 E. Musser St., Carson City, at 6 p.m. The presentation for Las Vegas is Jan. 16 at the Clark County Library, 1401 E. Flamingo Road, at 6 p.m.
Scheduled presentations in the other communities are:• Jan. 13 – Elko County Library, 720 Court St., Elko, at 12:00 p.m.• Jan. 14 – Humboldt County UNCE, 1085 Fairgrounds Road, Winnemucca, at 6 p.m.• Jan. 15 – Churchill County Multi-purpose building, 225 Sheckler Road, Fallon, at 6:30 p.m.• Jan. 21 – Pershing County Community Center, 820 Sixth St., Lovelock, at 6:30 p.m.• Jan. 22 – Mineral County Cooperative Extension, 205 S. A St., Hawthorne, at 6 p.m.• Jan. 23 – Lyon County UNCE, 504 S. Main St., Yerington, at 6 p.m. Cooperative Extension, the EPA and the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health urge all Nevadans to get their homes tested for radon. For more information, visit the Nevada Radon Education Program website at www.RadonNV.com, call the Radon Hotline at 888-RADON10 (888-723-6610), or contact Nevada Radon Education Program Director Susan Howe at email@example.com or at 775-336-0248.

Thursday night an Oklahoma tornado victim making her way to Florida stopped in Valdosta after she heard on the radio the American Red Cross was fundraising in the streets.
Red Cross volunteers set up donation centers across Valdosta today collecting money for Oklahoma victims.
Heather Cearley experienced the first day of tornadoes in Newalla Oklahoma. She stopped by Super Suds on Gornto Road to say thank you to south Georgians for helping the tornado victims. She says she and her family survived after they took cover in her neighbor's tornado shelter. Once the tornado passed she says the town she once knew was unrecognizable; her home survived but many others weren't as fortunate.
"There was power lines down over houses, there was people hurt, there was people crying, there was people literally on their knees praying, you know because their families were hurt," said Cearley .
Cearley says people in Oklahoma need everything right now -- from bug spray to horse feed. If you would like to donate to the Red Cross CLICK HERE.

TOPSFIELD — It's been awhile since monster trucks have roared around the Topsfield Fair arena, but tickets to the car-crushing event went on sale last week, as planning for the 195th annual Topsfield Fair shifts into high gear.
Two monster truck shows are scheduled during the fair on Saturday, Oct. 5., followed by "pit parties" for those who want to get close to the mammoth pickups.
"I think the fair is always trying to do something new and different," said fair spokesman David Thomson. "There are always traditional things when people think about the Topsfield Fair, but there are new things, too."
Four monster trucks — Krazy Train, Hot Tamale, AfterShock and Equalizer — will each "freestyle" at the shows, running over obstacles such as dirt piles, cars and minivans.
"These trucks will come out and crash and jump and do these kind of freestyle tricks over these obstacles," Thomson said.
The monster truck show is being produced by JM Productions of Hamburg, N.Y.
"Anytime you are dealing with monster trucks and destruction of vehicles, it's going to draw a lot of attention; that is the bottom line," said Jay Milligan, president of JM Productions.
The owner of AfterShock and Krazy Train is Lawtons, N.Y., resident Bob Robbins, who said it should be noisy in the "little arena" in Topsfield.
Robbins is a married father of two boys who works as a railroad engineer handling train derailments, he said. He races 35 weekends a year. At times, it can be rough trying to balance work, working on his monster trucks, and family life, he said. He built his first truck, AfterShock, 12 years ago.
"The next thing you know, I have two trucks," Robbins said.
It can be an expensive sport to break into. A monster truck can cost upward of $150,000, and there are other expenses, such as parts and the hauler needed to take a monster truck around to different shows.

What a magnificent estate! We were very fortunate to find Jenny and Mark's beautiful Kohala Coast Estate for our family to relax and entertain for my son and new daughter-in-law's destination wedding plans at a nearby resort. With a handicapped daughter, the challenges to find a truly wheelchair accessible home, with accommodations for up to 10 of us, was a daunting task. In the end, only 6 could make the trip and the flexibility to meet our final needs made this the perfect spot. This solved the logistics of having our family comfortably settled in one spot. It also put my mind at ease to enjoy the joy of a family reunion and wedding celebration! What came next was our arrival! It's hard to describe the beauty of the setting overlooking the Pacific after navigating the magnificent garden walk and Koi Pond entry, spacious foyer, living room and adjoining phenomenal kitchen. All led to the huge lanai and yard through a massive wall of sliding glass doors. What more could be asked for? A perfect sense of spacious openness to the Pacific! A perfect place to enjoy and entertain! After a good night's rest in our comfortable Four-Star surroundings we enjoyed spending the next day in the fully equipped kitchen preparing to show off as parents of the groom with a rehearsal barbeque for all attending the wedding. We could not have been happier nor more proud to honor our son and his bride with a reception at Mark and Jenny's Kohala home! I can only say thank you for being the best Hosts-In-Absentia. The reception was an overwhelming success, primarily the result of its location. We could not have asked for a more inviting place to spread out, entertain, enjoy, relax, renew and celebrate! The rest of the week was perfect with a beautiful beach wedding and more relaxing with family and friends at our private estate! What a great place for small to large families or multiple families with or without children. The location is convenient to all along the Kohala Coast. It is fully equipped and beautifully appointed. And, it is the best buy from the best folks you will ever have the pleasure to deal with.

After a few weeks of quiet, another home has been knocked off in a Rancho Santa Margarita neighborhood that has become popular for burglaries.
The area near Trabuco Mesa Elementary School was the site of the most recent incident, not far from burglaries over the past three months on Mandevilla and Ulmaria. In both those incidents, jewels were among the items stolen.
The incident Thursday on Via Gardenia, like the others, took place when the resident was away from home.
Lt. Brian Schmutz, chief of police services in Rancho Santa Margarita, said he has assigned additional resources to the ongoing string of residential burglaries.
According to the blotter of the Orange County Sheriff's Department, a victim contacted police at 2:51 p.m., and informed them that the home had been burgled. The caller was unsure if the perpetrator was still in the home and requested a deputy perform a walk-through to clear the residence.
The victim had been away from his home for about two hours. The blotter did not indicate what items were stolen.
