A piece of an ancient way of life, a tool for a consummate hunter.

Part 1 of a Shadowrun novel, I wrote a few months back, that I decided to place up here for public enjoyment, and commentary, after yet another rejection letter for dead tree publication.
This novel is Rated R for graphic violence, adult situations, and general all around Cyberpunk goodness.
GM's and players may find it useful for character concepts/backgrounds and adventure ideas, enjoy, more to follow every week.
Lounging around in the Cantina, Kolburn kept a watchful, yet unassuming eye on those around him as he finished the last morsels of what passed for a meal in this joint. Brushing off the crumbs, he glanced round, careful not to make eye contact with any of the other patrons who might later remember him as he made his way unobserved to the entrance and out into the cold of the port. He would come back and pay off his mounting tab, when he next came across a few credits, or found another odd job. After all, he wasn't completely without his honour, unlike some people.
Falling Toward Grace: Profiling Sarah Voltaire
--by Jamie Easton, New York Times
From one of the world's most powerful and prominent Deltas to part-time barista in Greenwich Village, the life of Sarah Voltaire might seem like a fall from grace. But spending a warm afternoon with her recently, I came to know a woman who has fallen not from, but towards grace.
After she ate the middle part of my wife's body she gestured me out the door. Then she paddled me to the den of the Sage. All the while I stared at her rune marked back, my hand on the hilt of my sword, and I thought of my father and the hens.
''Rrrbit! Rrrbit! Great Jove has found you unworthy, human! Now prepare to die !''
The author's quips and comments on making the most of your first submission
A short tale about a shovel, a spade, and two trowels
From the same school of thought as, "Hey GM, which book did I just randomly pull from the shelf of the wizards' library?" No plot hooks here, just flavor additions.
A tall lanky man with a distracted air, well versed in arcanotechnology, parapsychology, and a collector of molds, spores, and fungus.
"Dat woman... She was terrible to behold. Terrible but beautiful. She sat on a great throne, surrounded by her gatorfolk servants. She stood and she looked mighty angry. She look down at me an' Tergryn an' de rest, and she yell in some strange tongue - de elf-folk, I tink. She had a fury in her soul, an' I could feel her evil eye on me. Doric - hui, poor Doric! - she had 'er gatorfolk slash his belly wit' his claws and tore out his entrails. De gobbled dem up... Poor Doric..."
- Jorif Grisold, survivor
She is the high priestess of Jampiri, the outcast of the Kanaar, the guardian of the gatorfolk. Swynmoor's resident witch is powerful and knowledgeable, keeping the natural balance in the swamps.
The desert is like the sea, the sands shift ebb and flow and with them so does life. The tide is in ebb, and Xen'da'rik is dying.
A dwarf's fear of the ocean is not baseless. In the unknowable depths lurks an evil that will punish any dwarf arrogant enough to be on anything less than solid land, and unfortunate enough to die.
I was in a game with a GM that had a Masters in History, who made is a point to mention that the local peasants didn't have wheelbarrows. The rest of the players just shrugged that off but I knew that the GM was trying to tell us the peasants were on the knife edge of starvation.
All that from wheelbarrows? Yes, because before the invention of the wheelbarrow it took two men to carry that load. In it's time the wheelbarrow was the most explosive production multiplier that the peasantry could get their hands on.
This is worth two tips: One about the power of the Wheelbarrow and the other is the moral of the story...that people need to know the point you are trying to make.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My husband and I chose to move to the town of Vassalboro for the school system alone. I myself used to work and live in another school district yet refused to have my children attend there. We looked on greatschools.com to get an idea of what towns offered proper education and a close commute to work. It was a toss up between Sidney and Vassalboro. I believe things happen for a reason. Vassalboro it was! We were able to diagnose my son with ADHD, yet learned he was quite intelligent and qualified for the Gifted and Talented program. Although the teachers didn't see that he was suffering with his school work, but just with his attention span, they listened when I insisted to have him evaluated for ADHD. We worked together on a plan to get him to be able to focus without meds. My daughter is Autistic and has a variety of disorders. When talking with Mrs. Graham about my son's troubles, I explained that in a few years my daughter would be attending and would be requiring quite a bit of help. 1:1 Ed Tech all day and an I.E.P. an inch thick. There was no hesitation to start communication and think ahead of what was to come. Things are going smoothly and couldn't ask for better!
I would never want my children to go to any other school. The teachers, principles and all aids are excellent and genuinely care about our kids. I'm very much pleased with the recent additions to security at the school. It feels great knowing that the school is doing all they can to protect our babies.
Vassalboro Community School staff are 5 star! I have two grandsons who attend or did attend VCS. When one of them got in some trouble the staff was amazing and helped to create an atmosphere where he could change his behaviors and circle of friends without fear of retribution. They also helped with his brother who had reached out to the school because he was worried about his brother. Every staff person handled the issue with professionalism, caring and support. As a campus, it is beautiful and the school represents Vassalboro in a great way.
since the shooting in CT this rural Maine school has not allowed children outside of the school and locks all sorts of doors inside and outside. if you need to go to the office as a student you need to have someone come and unlock the door from the wing to the central hall and then the central hall to the office wing and then the student has to buzz the desk and they will use a camera to see if they will let the trouble maker/sick child into the office to see the principal or nurse. All I really need to know is that teachers who work in this school would never have their children go there to learn!
I went there 20 years ago. My son and daughter now go there. the staff is verry nice and have been there for a very long time. All the assistance that is needed is given. Some of my teachers from 20 years ago are still there so it can not be that bad. If your kid needs help in math then they take tests to determine how much extra help is required and yes there are some kids that forget their homework every day in their "locker" or at "home" but there is an active role for the parents to play!
This school Has excellent staff. The teachers are great and provide extra help to students that need it. We have a library full of reading and research books, we have comuters, and a trophey case to show off our tropheys. We also have a glass case in the heart of our school to show art projects. There is a gifted and talented program, for students that excell. There is a reach program, for students that need extra help, and there are 5 specials: library, art, computer, music, and gym. Once in 5th grade you don't have music for a special, you have challenge lab. You have the choice to take part in band and chorus. In sixth grade you only have 4 specials: art, gym, challend lab, and computer. There is one special for each quarter. In sixth grade you get lockers. In seventh, you get laptops, and in sixth grade there is D.A.R.E program. Dare to say no to drugs and violennce.Awesome school!
The teachers work as a team, and are all hard working. The teachers do not hesitate to phone the parents---which keeps good lines of communication!
A wonderful facility with a caring staff. My child was initially nervous about starting there, and now she loves being part of the school community.
Vassalboro community school is the best school that I've ever been to. They have a great sports system, in 6th - 8th there is a math team program, and also dances! 7th and 8th graders get lap tops, and there is so much more great stuff about it!
Wonderful school with very nice staff.
This is truly a great school. Vassalboro Community School staff cares about each and every child there and it shows! My son struggles with attention problems and all of his teachers take time to work with me to assure him the best education. Vassalboro is a small community and everyone knows everyone. VCS is an asset to the community by taking time to involve the children in citizenship skills, community projects, and local field trips. The safety and well-being of the children is always foremost in the minds of the administrators. I am fully comfortable with my child being in the care of the staff and faculty at VCS. I know that he is with someone who cares for him almost as much as I do.

After Steve Jobs death last year, a "lost interview" with the Apple CEO had a brief theatrical run. Conducted in 1995, the interview featured Jobs speaking about his life, his tenure at Apple before being fired by John Scully, and battles with Microsoft. The interview comes out on DVD later this moth, but is now available for streaming on Netflix.
Netflix today updated its native iOS app with iPhone 5 and iOS 6 support. You can grab the latest version now from the official Apple App store.
The requirements for the app now read: "Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5." The last version required iOS 5.x, but obviously the iPhone 5 addition is new, and suggests the app now takes full advantage of the 16:9 widescreen screen display. That means for both video viewing and general rummaging around the app. (Read More)

UPDATE (Version 1.4): Upgraded version to work with Joomla 3.x
If you find any error please report it to our support team ( http://www.rswebsols.com/support ). Do not forget to mention the URL to review.
Please Note: In default configuration the maximum working width of this ticker module is 560 pixel. If you wish to use this ticker with bigger width, then make sure to set the "Background Transparency" to "100" in the module parameter.
This is a free extension. The features are:
- Customizable width and height of the ticker.
- Customizable color. From admin section you can able to change the color theme very easily. Everything like font color, background color, button color, all are customizable.
You can also able to manage the ticker scrolling speed and the arrow speed.
- You can add 1 to 50 items into it.
- You can choose the items will display serially or randomly.
Tags: scroller, ticker, news ticker, news scroller, news rotator, rotator, flash, flash scroller
I'm sure there's a conflict with another module but I'll be darned if I can find it.
This in now way detracts from the fact that this is a slick piece of work
I also wanted to have the ticker running the entire length of my webpage. However, if you adjust the "Ticker Width" to more than 518 pixels, the ticker stops scrolling. 518 pixels is just half the span of a webpage.
In the "Add Ticker/Scroller Items", if you skip one item, the ticker gets broken and stops scrolling.
The various options available like changing font colors, speed, and opacity, are nice.
However, it would have been much nicer if you can just select items from your Section or Category to scroll. Instead of typing them manually by hand. If you are planning to use this as a scroller for your latest news, it will eventually become too tiring, as you have to cut-and-paste the news on the item list one-by-one all the time.
- The module is fully working in IE8. Please review our demo link in Internet Explorer 8. You can see it is working properly.
- Yes, the maximum width of the ticker is 518 pixel.
- You need to configure the ticker properly. You cna find the configuration instruction here: http://www.rswebsols.com/rsspotter-support

I am 62 and had Portrait a month ago for lower face and lip wrinkles. Recovery was very quick. I have seen no results at this point. I was wanting much BETTER results. I feel like I wasted money. My Dr. is now wanting to do fillers, but for another 1,200. I just wish I had done the filler instead.

HI brinoz,
I wonder if they used a very low setting, which is why you didn't see results. You might want to check out the answer to the question in our doctor Q&A about it's effectiveness for skin tightening, it might help. Please keep us updated.
Thanks and Happy Week!

Many things will change for the Green Bay Packers this offseason. They have a number of players set to hit free agency in March, and after another early exit from the playoffs, it's clear there are plenty of holes on the roster. A majority of them on the defensive side of the ball.
As usual, the Packers will turn to the draft to bolster their roster and replace departing talent with young, ascending players.
This weekend kicks off the first major event in the draft evaluation process for many NFL teams and scouts. College all-star games play an important role in scouting top talent in college football, and the Senior Bowl on Jan. 25th is the headliner.
However, the NFLPA Bowl and East-West Shrine Game on Jan. 18th give us our first look at some of the top seniors in the country. Like the Senior Bowl, they are highly anticipated events where scouts from around the nation go to watch the top talent in college football go toe-to-toe.
In anticipation of Saturday's games, I would like to highlight six players in the East-West Shrine Game that could be real possibilities for the Packers in this Spring's draft.

Dear Ms. Sadek -- Thank you, thank you, thank you. Finally, someone who dares to state the obvious: cute little dogs are NOT accessories to complement and enhance their owner's status, sharp wheels, or good looks. Rather, they are to be loved and protected, and that means not risking their lives by placing them on laps for all eyes to admire and fingers to point: "what a cute picture the two of them make... awwwww, do you see that? Isn't that precious?"

Questionable Political Slogan of the Day: I'm beginning to think the Cain Train was never fitted with brakes.
A day after referring to Nancy Pelosi as "Princess Nancy" during the CNBC Republican Presidential Debate (later kinda, sorta recanting after being called on it), frontrunner Herman Cain introduced supporters in Michigan to his latest controversy-baiting slogan: "How do you beat Obama? Beat him with a Cain."
Asked why he chose that term, given its racial connotations, Cain responded: "Cain. Herman Cain. C-A-I-N. Do I have to connect all the dots for you?"
Meanwhile, the "Beat him with a Cain" bumper sticker is already up on the Herman Cain 2012 Shop.

To the average road cyclist, whose sport is epitomised by clean-shaven legs and French idioms, cyclocross can seem like a strange undertaking. The abundance of mud, steeples and repeated falling over seems counter- intuitive, but for the winter- bound road racer in 1940s Europe it became an essential training tool. The Belgians and Dutch - as one would expect - have always had a keen hand in popularising the sport and to this day hold it on par with road cycling.
The etymology can be traced back still, with records from the early 1900s describing French army private Daniel Gousseau riding his bicycle with horse-mounted friends through woodland terrain. This is a sport for the tough - for those who are prepared to get their hands, and bikes, dirty.
South West Cyclocross is a non-profit, voluntary organisation who host numerous races across the South West of England during the winter season. Competitors do not need to hold a British Cycling racing license to take part and as such it is the most accessible of competitive cycling events.
This reportage investigates the mud-lusting myths surrounding the sport and what attracts the riders. Indeed, upon arriving at a field full of such hardy people on a wind- and rain-lashed November afternoon, the promise of mud did not disappoint.

that was the COOLEST science lesson ever. that's incredible! love the pics you got from this- SO unique! :)ReplyDelete
We vacationed in Puerto Rico a few years ago and took a glass-bottomed kayak tour through the bioluminescent bay, which was completely awesome. Unfortunately though, none of my photos turned out- yours are wonderful!!ReplyDelete
This looks absolutely amazing! I really want to see this for myself!ReplyDelete
Stunning! My grandmother lives in Vieques so every once in a while, we make it a point to go down and visit. But I've actually never been to Mosquito Bay. But I'm definitely making it a point to do it the next time I go. I love Vieques so much. Such an underrated island.ReplyDelete
We are planning a trip to Puerto Rico for Christmas! So glad I found your post about this!ReplyDelete
Beautiful pictures! I'd love to go to Puerto Rico someday. We just got home from Costa Rica and it was a lot of fun. :)ReplyDelete

Randell Cain, CFA, Principal and Portfolio Manager, Herndon Capital Management
Portfolio Manager of the ASTON/Herndon Large Cap Value Fund
Randell Cain: Well, Wally, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to revisit with you to talk a little bit about what's taking place in the market as well as some specific things that we're looking at within the fund. As of December 31, 2012, Herndon Capital Management is close to an eight billion dollar institutional money management firm.
As I am looking at the market now, one of the things that we're seeing is that clearly there has become an affinity for equities, and that's a positive thing. Last year provided a solid return for the market, and we've started off this year quite strong.
Also, you've seen a diminishing of interest, at least in terms of the price movement, in the fixed income markets. That's coinciding, also, with some of the more dividend-oriented securities being a little bit less attractive to the average investor as they're now viewing capital appreciation as being a way to grow as well as to preserve their capital.
The challenge that you have with that though is that we started off January up pretty nicely. If you were to annualize that number, we would finish the year up about 60%.
Forbes: Good luck.
Cain: Exactly. And so, while I'm appreciative of the solid returns, I do wonder if we have had a little bit too much, too soon. That doesn't mean that the market has to go backwards, but it would not be surprising or disappointing or unexpected for it to take a breather for a while.
If you look at historical returns, again annualizing what we've done just for the month of January, we're well above those right now. But then on the other side, what you are starting to hear people talk about is a change in the mutual funds market. So the retail investor may be coming back into the market, giving you the opportunity to see equity as it garners the interest that possibly should've been there for the past two, three years.
People have been on the sidelines wanting, I guess, to see if this is for real. But, that is coinciding also with some good economic numbers that are showing some persistency. I don't hear anyone now talking about the chance for recession to come back on the table.
You're seeing the housing numbers improving. Employment numbers are improving. But you're still seeing some of the corporations, depending on where they are, reporting numbers that still tend to be a bit more cost driven as to how they're meeting earnings estimates, rather than being revenue driven.
That, unto itself, is not a bad thing. It could just be a matter of expectations on the top line being too high — and that can happen. And some analysts and some strategists speculate that the numbers are going to be pretty robust this year. And then you have some, on the other end, that are saying that maybe people think it's going to be a little bit too much, too fast.
We don't make big macro projections. But as we're looking at earnings numbers come in and looking at the commentary coming from some of our companies, we do think that the optimism on the fundamental side might be a little high. But it is juxtaposed against a valuation that I think is pretty forgiving within the market right now. Between the two, I'm not expecting a significant falloff in the market. But again, I don't expect the next 11 months to give us the same kind of returns that we've experienced so far for January.
Forbes: Well, it sounds like we have a reasonable chance to hold our own, if not make records month after month.
Cain: Well, it would be great for everybody who's invested in the market. But I just wouldn't want to put a lot of confidence into that and start spending those gains too soon.
Forbes: What are some of the specifics you're looking at positively or negatively?
Cain: Let's start by talking about some of the sectors that we're more heavily invested in. From that standpoint, the areas where we have overweights in our strategy are areas such as energy, areas such as materials as well as consumer staples and consumer discretionary. Those areas are the most significant overweights that we have in the portfolio, and that's been something that's carried on for a good portion of the last couple of years.
One sector that we've now got a bit close to market weight on but that had been one of those overweights is technology. We pared back our positioning there. Again, our approach is truly based on where we see the value creating opportunities or lack thereof.
Now the areas where we're most heavily underweight are the interest sensitive areas — the financials, telecom, as well as utilities, where we actually have no exposure right now. And then also we've pulled back a bit in the health care area, one of the parts of the market that's benefited from the attractive yields you can get, especially with the large cap pharma companies.
Forbes: Can you name some specific names on either side of your like or don't like line?
Cain: Well, I'm going to avoid getting into too much of the "not like" part. I'll leave that to others. I only go one direction.
Forbes: Okay. Give us your stars.
Cain: Well, in terms of the stocks that make up the broadest positions in our portfolio, we have companies there like Federated Investors (NYSE: FII) that is one of the mutual fund companies. The bulk of their assets are in the money market area, which has come under some pressure because of concerns about the net asset value, and the perceived safety associated with that area.
The government has had some questions about that, especially as they've tried to create a safer overall environment for purveyors of financial instruments. The money market industry is one where they basically talk about too big to fail systemic risk as an area of concern.
And now they're looking at that area, and that's given different participants reasons to want to say, "Well, how can we get greater transparency and disclosure to the fact that, while you may show the asset values being a dollar, in reality the underlying assets do fluctuate." And so it's a question of how much disclosure is going to be necessary and will that change the way that people perceive these, traditionally thought of as safe assets, that can't break a buck.
They actually have broken a buck before. For Federated, they have been under a lot of pressure, but the stock has really started performing a great deal better. And one of the things we do like about it is that it is not just a money market business, which will benefit if there is a change in direction in regards to rates.
We believe that will definitely help them because then they can get better spreads, get better returns, so that when they have some of their assets mature, they can put them into higher yielding instruments. But the other part of it is they're diversified.
They also have longer duration fixed income assets. They have equity assets and they're also diversified outside of the United States. But, as you have probably seen over time, Wally, a lot of times investors will focus on the weakest link and will value a company or push a company in that direction. We think that's unfair to paint them with that brush, and we think that we will benefit as an investor by owning them.
Forbes: That's interesting.
Cain: Another holding that we have in the portfolio comes out of the energy patch and one that has actually started to turn around quite a bit is Halliburton (NYSE: HAL). It's in the oil service area that has been under some pressure because of concerns about large oil companies' spending plans and the like.
They've actually seen an uptake for their services. They've been able to generate revenues and earnings that have been ahead of market expectations. And we've seen stability and an increase in the price of oil. You now have oil prices that are back into the 90s, whereas you had some people arguing for them getting into the low 70s or going even lower.
And I think that that could be symptomatic of the fact that while the global economic environment is not great, it's getting better. And so the demand for those types of products should increase, and that should also increase the opportunity set available to companies like Halliburton.
Forbes: And the U.S. seems to be getting closer to being possibly on our own in terms of production of oil and gas.
Cain: Absolutely. Very interesting, because over history there's been great concern about our dependence on foreign fossil-based fuels, and now the U.S. is, as you're saying, moving almost into a position of being an exporter rather than having to be an importer of some type of products.
Forbes: Yes, quite a change.
Cain: Absolutely. Another couple of companies that I want to mention are in the consumer discretionary area. And these are two companies that kind of took it on the chin for a while because of concern about consumer discretionary last year. But, I believe it ended up being the second best performing sector out there behind financials, primarily because a lot of the domestic based companies were doing better.
And also, you saw some of the premium-priced branded companies from the retail side doing a bit better. A couple of companies that were in the portfolio for a while kind of got left behind to some degree. The TJX Companies (NYSE: TJX) and Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST), two of the off-price branded retailers
With both of these retailers, there was some concern about how well they were going to navigate this environment. Also some analysts and investors were thinking that as the economic environment was improving, consumers would start to flock back to the full-priced retailers.
But what you've seen is that as consumers experience things, they do get a bit smarter, and that has not been the case. It was very interesting. Just before Ross was supposed to report same store sales, a sell-side analyst came out and downgraded the stock saying that it was at full valuation with no catalyst to move the stock forward. Then they came out with results and just blew away estimates in terms of same store sales and the stock went up about seven percent that day.
Both of these companies basically are approaching that middle income to lower income market. If you were kind of looking at it in average, you would say middle income. But what you will find as people start to flock to these stores and see the kind of merchandise they're able to purchase, brand-name items at very good prices, I believe expansion is already there for them. And they tend to be in some of the strip mall areas, so they are easy to access. The customer experience is one where you're getting, in my opinion, great value for your dollar. And it's something that I think will continue to differentiate them. These companies have great financial metrics, solid balance sheets and, as far as the geographic expansion, they have a great deal of exposure here in the U.S. But there are still a lot of places where they're not represented right now. So I think there's good upside there fundamentally as well.
Forbes: Sounds very promising. Randy, once again, I much appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts with us.
Cain: My pleasure.

I've been on the road this month, escaping the heat and chasing Colorado wildflowers. After late snows, the colorful meadows in the Rocky Mountains are beginning to awaken.This past week I spent some time near Lake City and Crested Butte. Both of these areas have several varieties beginning to bloom, including the Columbine, painbrush, Old Man of the Mountain, daisies, and others. One area that will really be good in a week or two is American Basin, resting at the end of a 4WD dirt road coming out of Lake City.
Another area that should explode with color in the next few weeks is Crested Butte. I hiked the West Maroon Pass Trail that leads from Gothic Road near Crested Butte over a pass and down into Aspen. The valleys along this trail should be amazing. I was there as it was just beginning to show some color, and right now the columbine are really pushing forward.
After this, it was onto the Maroon Bells Wilderness area near Aspen, Colorado. Again, the columbine are out, but not much else. Still this is one of my favorite areas.
For more Colorado images, please visit my galleries:

Also, I try to keep image current on my facebook photography page.
I'll be down near Durango and Silverton this coming weekend, so hopefully I'll have more to share after that.

Changes in Advertising Psyche for Consumer Services
Today, I was on Pandora listening to some music, to find yet another LivingSocial ad.
This really got me to reflect on last 5-10 years…
Google, Flickr, Facebook and Twitter never advertised early in the growth of their success.
They won peoples heart by offering such a unique offering that they didn't need consumer advertising. I put my 2005 hat on, and I remember at the conferences when advertising for consumer services was frowned upon as you should be able to capture users based on the quality of your product alone. Also, "the right type of people" (early adopters) signup when you are not advertising and feel more committed to the product.
It's not only LivingSocial, new growth consumer companies have demonstrated more aggressive paid marketing levels including scvngr, Zynga, and GroupOn.
You can't watch the superbowl or navigate an iPhone app without seeing an ad for these companies.
Is the cool "don't need to advertise" attitude gone?
If so, what was the tipping point?
Did GroupOn 6B valuation change peoples psyche on this?
Have we reached hypercompetitive level for time to mass market that this is now required?
Is this acceleration a long-term trend or a short-term fad?
Not sure I have the answer but one thing has changed… Advertising is more accepted for consumer growth internet companies then it was a year or two ago.
15 Responses to Changes in Advertising Psyche for Consumer Services
@gravitymonkey says:
Interesting observation. I wonder if this is reflective of marketing budgets growing, or of these companies being more consumer focused – needing to reach more "normals" than "early adopters"? I think it's just a different climate – more fertilizer to throw on the garden – in hopes it all grows faster.
sandieman says:
"Normal" vs. "Early Adopter" is an interesting paradigm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing_the_Chasm – old school way of thinking about it.
Funny thing is when you hear GroupOn talk about this, they mention that advertising drives people to create the initial momentum to get a real community of adopters. Early adopters now reachable via advertising? Early adopters bigger part of our population?

About Desiree
We purchased this home in 1998 for future retirement and because the area was so beautiful. Over the next two years we renovated every square inch adding top of the line appliances and furnishings, We visited from San Francisco frequently but after every trip it became increasingly more difficult to leave our Hawaii paradise. In 2003 we sold our house in Mill Valley and moved to Hawi where our second son was born in the upstairs master. As my children have grown older and I have begun to travel it made sense to allow others to enjoy the house as a vacation destination. No one has been disappointed. Much Aloha Jim
Desiree purchased this house in 1998
Why Desiree chose Hawi
The area is not only beautiful and off the beaten path, but the people are really nice. Everywhere you go folks are full of Aloha. The ocean is pristine and the mountains are accessible. The ethnic diversity of Hawaii is showcased in this small eclectic community where locals intermingle with newcomers and visitors. North Kohala is a laid back community, yet filled with positive energy. We are moving towards self sustainable living in a place where we respect the local heritage, the land, and our diversity.
What makes this house unique
The house is amazing! I have heard guests scream with delight upon entering. It is difficult to capture the splendor of the house in pictures. There are 2.2 acres of grounds, a greenhouse, gym and pool. The house has two separate screened-in lanais and no bedroom has a common wall. There is plenty of space here to create alone time.
From Hawi you can go ten minutes west to dry heat and swimming, fifteen minutes east to lush tropical jungle and the wild Pololu Valley, twenty minutes south to the summit views from the cool Kohala Mountain top or you can walk into Hawi town and enjoy a cup of coffee with the locals then get a massage or shop for locally made treasures in our artist filled community. All the major resorts of the Kohala Coast are a short drive south and our local state parks for swimming and snorkeling are less than 10 minutes away.
Guestbook comments from the manager
My family and I stayed in your gorgeous Hawi home in July. This was the first time our families had met, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting for such an important occasion! Your beautiful home and it's lovely amenities provided everyone with a comfortable, fun atmosphere in which to become acquainted.
More than anything, we appreciate the trust you placed in us as strangers to care for your home! Thank you very much for your generosity.

Town asked to provide water, sewer
By Linwood Outlaw III -- email@example.com
FRONT ROYAL -- The Warren County Board of Supervisors is asking town officials to provide water and sewer service to the proposed site for a regional jail being planned with Shenandoah and Rappahannock counties.
The supervisors voted 4-1 at their meeting on Tuesday morning to formally make the request.
The supervisors are considering two parcels totaling 28 acres on U.S. 340-522 in the Cedarville Enterprise Zone as a potential site for the jail. The site is zoned both commercial and industrial. Water service crosses the front of the site along U.S. 340-522, and the town's sewer main crosses the back portion of the property, County Administrator Douglas P. Stanley said.
Shenandoah District Supervisor Richard H. Traczyk voted against the motion. Traczyk said while he supports the concept of a regional jail, he remains displeased with the proposed location for the facility.
Happy Creek District Supervisor Tony F. Carter, however, said the location appears to be the most sufficient among others that were considered. "I don't think any of us are really enthused about the actual location," Carter said. "We've exhausted all other possibilities. ... I don't think we had much choice."
Between six and 12 sites were considered before the panel settled on the current location, Supervisors Chairman Archie A. Fox said.
Moseley Architects officials said water and sewer usage estimates for the jail were based on a final build-out of 623 inmates and 155 staff members. The facility's design has not progressed far enough to determine a final fixture count, but the size of the water line is being proposed "for the worst case scenario, which is fire protection," architects say in a letter forwarded to Stanley. A planning study for the regional jail proposes tying into the existing 12-inch water main along U.S. 340/522 and 10-inch sanitary sewer line.
Also on Tuesday, the supervisors:
* Approved the extension of the lease agreement submitted by the Front Royal Cardinals for the operation of the concession stand at Bing Crosby Stadium for the 2010 baseball season in the amount of $2,100.
* Agreed to advertise a public hearing on proposed ordinance changes to set maximum allowable heights for temporary real estate signs in residential and other districts; maximum area and height of monument signs for buildings with 80 feet of frontage or less; and maximum wall coverage of wall signs. Under the proposed ordinance, no more than two special sales event signs announcing promotions, grand openings, new management, going-out-of-business sales or similar events will be allowed upon issuance of a permit.
A maximum size of 16 square feet and 6 feet in height is being proposed for signs at buildings with 80 feet frontage or less.

The Difference Between Ron Paul & Gary Johnson
Many people, including myself, were in awe to see, not just one, but TWO Libertarians running for president this year in the Republican party. This is the Libertarian's chance to really get their message across. Although Libertarian's, Ron Paul & Gary Johnson have some fundamentally different messages. Neither one is better than the other (although I prefer Paul's approach for me personally).
Many people who read this are already familiar with Ron Paul. They are familiar with Murray Rothbard, Mises, Hayek, Hazlitt, etc. Ron Paul's views are deeply rooted in philosophy. He even said at one point that Ayn Rand was an influence on him as well. This approach is somewhat sophisticated. It's intellectually stimulating. However, this also means that a lot of what Ron Paul says are over people's heads. The problem with Paul is that when he speaks, he's speaking philosophy. I enjoy it, however, there are people that don't. There are people that:
A) Don't understand philosophy or know Hayek, Rothbard, etc.
B) People that are just not interested in hearing philosophy. They just want a system that works.
This is where Gary Johnson fits in. He is not walking into the debates, speaking on radio stations, etc. speaking about Mises or Hayek. He is walking in talking about cost-benefit analysis. Are people getting back what they are putting in. He's pointing out, from a "guy on the street" aspect, that out government programs don't work. They don't need more money, they just need the axe. Many people overlook Paul because they don't understand what he's talking about. Now Johnson is in the race and bringing a fresher look to Libertarianism.
The fundamental difference between the two simply stated is; Ron Paul speaks from a philosophical view, whereas Johnson speaks of a consequentialist viewpoint. The exciting thing is that both of them are running for president. Hopefully Johnson gets more time to shine. People who are not interested in freedom as a philosophy, will hopefully listen to Johnson and support freedom from a consequential standpoint.

Cast members of MTV's Jersey Shore ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange Photograph: Richard Drew/AP
You could cut the anticipation with a meat cleaver this morning as traders on the New York Stock Exchange paused to watch a well-bronzed crew ringing the market's opening bell - the cast of the reality television show Jersey Shore.
For the uninitiated, Jersey Shore has become a cultural phenomenon since hitting screens on MTV last year. It follows the adventures of eight real-life Italian-American sunseekers spending the summer in a New Jersey beach house. It makes Big Brother look like Dostoyevsky. Continue reading...
