OT..Anyone else received Spam Email from an Old Holiday Member?
slinkeyJune 5, 2012
Just wanted to give you a 'head's up'...
I received two emails from 'Printers Devil'...
The first one I received I thought was strange, because
we haven't heard from her in years. I of course opened it, and found it to be SPAM...
Today I just received another one...so I immediately
deleted it.
I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else here.
I'm sure a virus took over Printer's Devil's
email list and sent them out.
The same thing happened to me twice - where emails were sent out
to everyone on my list, so
I had to let them all know I didn't send them.
What a pain....

Levanti :: Spring Break in Bosnia
San Diego producer Levanti contacted us about some of his music and he's got some pretty cool stuff. He employs a bunch of different styles, but in particular I'm digging his latest track "Spring Break in Bosnia" which is more of the nu-disco/indie dance variety. Check out that track below which is free for the taking. Listen to more on his soundcloud.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

What is the Cheapest Way to Get TV?
Managing a Little Thrift Shop
I found this job about three blocks away from the campus in this sort of run down area. There are a bunch of old buildings there. I was going to the music store where this girl I know works behind the counter. She had a bulletin board and on it there was posted the job listing. The place was a real mess at first. The shelves were stacked with rave clothing and the sort of vintage clothing that you see hipsters wearing. The couple who own the place were not really doing much there. They had to explain it to me, but without really spelling it out in black and white.!--more-- The idea is to lose money, although in a very measured way. It is supposed to create a loss that they can write off on their taxes. Obviously they did not come out and say this, because I assume that the IRS is not real big on this idea.
The problem was that they were not doing a very good job of disguising the fact to start off. It was obvious that they did not care about the place and they did not want the place to be a total disaster. It was supposed to be a write off in a specific way I suppose, not in the way that you lose all of the money that you invest in a place. That is what I am supposed to do. Most of all I am just getting a few people through the door. Of course I have blue jeans that would cost you a hundred bucks and I am charging you ten bucks for them. I bought a whole bunch of clothes myself, although the people who own the place give me a huge discount because I run the place.Understand A Lot More

Doing Some Serious Budget Cutting
I had to do some serious budget cutting. I spent a lot of money on Christmas and then right after I had to spend a small fortune getting my car fixed. One day it was really cold and when I went out to go to work the car would not come out of reverse. I was really upset with the situation, but I guess the transmission fluid was froze up. I backed up and fooled around, but it was stuck. I went and canceled my cable, replaced the Internet with DSL from centurylink internet service. The cable TV went and did not get replaced. I figured that there were some things I could do without if I had to do without them.
For starters I need to make my house payment, I need to have my car working and I need to keep gas in it, then I need them to not to cut off my electric power and I need to get groceries and pay my car insurance. All that stuff is not optional, cable tv is optional and it costs me a fortune here. In fact I sort of realized that I could live without it so far. I have missed some of the ball games that I might have watched, but it is not that big of a deal. I needed to have internet, but for the important games I can walk down the street to my buddy's place about half of the time. It was not that big of a deal at any rate if I did miss a game. I can find other stuff to occupy myself and at any rate there are a lot of over the air tv channels now. I think I can get around twenty five over the air tv channels.Understand A Lot More
Got Started on the Inside of the House
I have just now gotten started finishing the house. Of course I could afford to have a house built, but it has not inner walls or flooring or that sort of thing right now. I used to do some drywall work when I was in college and I can do that part of it myself, especially since my uncle is going to be around for a few weeks and he is going to supervise the job. I have already put in the guts of a home security system, but I need to figure out what to do about the brains of it. I bought it on an ebay auction with some problems, but I got some a great deal that it was worth it. Now I just need to find the rest of the stuff that I need. Of course I got the cameras and the sensor, the motion detectors and the things that tell you if someone is trying to open your windows or your doors.
The house is going to be slightly smart. It is going to have keyless entry pads on all three doors, then it shall have programmable dimmers on the lights through out the house. My intention is to try to set it up so that the house knows who we are, or more precisely that it recognize our smart phones. Of course the phones can interact with any system you have, if it is smart enough and I want the system to be able to tell who we are based on some simple factors. Of course you need to know the code to get into the house and another code to disarm the system so that it does not call the police on you. Of course that is all a bit difficult to actually achieve.Understand A Lot More
Don't Forget the Lights on Anymore
There are few home security teams that are better than the buffalo ny adt team, they are some of the best in home security and they do everything that they can to make you feel safe as can be inside of your own home. I mean as far as I can tell everyone out there wants to be safe in their home and would not be here if they did not want to be. I mean we choose our home, but we do not get to choose those that live around us and if there is any way to make a home safer, I do not know why anyone would ever consider going without it. I mean if a theif breaks into my home, I want the police notified whether I am there or not so the security system that goes onto the door or the window and makes an alarm trigger is a great idea. Remember that not all thiefs are career criminals, some are just misguided and an alarm is usually enough to scare them away from your home for good, even if you don't have it alert the police, an alarm in general is a very good idea. You can even set it remotely these days, they have apps for smartphones and all sorts of other gadgets and things that you can add on to make your home even that much better. I did not personally opt in for it, but they said that I could be able to control my lights and water as well if I wanted to, but that was way too expensive for me, but those that can afford it should consider it so that you don't forget to turn the lights off and the faucet and what not when you go on vacation or something.Understand A Lot More
Michael Bublé – "Lost" [Official Music Video]
Do You Really Need a Home Phone
In our modern society, it is rare for any one of us to actually have a home phone plan. I can't recall a single one of my friends who has actually decided to use a home phone - why should we pay for another bill for telephone service when most of us have a cell phone that is completely mobile and does more than a home phone ever could? Sure, a cheap home phone might have some uses; like having phone service for when your cell phone dies, I guess! Personally, I'd never sign up for another phone service. It's not like I need yet another number for people to call me at, especially bill collectors and telemarketers. It's bad enough that I actually get spam through text, the last thing I need is some telemarketer calling me when I'm trying to sit down and enjoy my dinner. It makes you wonder just how long traditional phone services are going to last.
With services like Voice Over Internet Protocols, which is a telephone services that utilizes your Internet connection in order to work, traditional methods are seemingly being replaced left and right by the advent of new technologies. Even my mother has gone without a phone service for a few years now, happier that she is paying for a cell phone that allows her to have Internet access, GPS, apps and games that she can play on. I remember how stubborn she had been against the idea of getting rid of her home phone service but once she was able to see everything that her cell phone was going to be able to do for her, she was eager enough to be rid of it entirely. She had the same philosophy as I did, that paying for something like that when you have a cell phone is silly.
Connections at the Touch of a Button
My wife Kayane and I love the internet. We love to do so many things with it. I am able to run my business from the comfort of my own home. I do not need to rent an expensive office. I also use the internet to play online with my friends. It is more entertaining to play online that by yourself. My wife uses the internet to communicate with her family. They live in France and cannot be next to her. I love our internet. The dsl internet providers are geniuses. I am very glad that I chose a company to provide my family with the gift of quality and affordable internet access.
My children also love to use the internet. They use it for their school projects. They take classes such as history, math, and science. They constantly use the internet as an unlimited ocean of information. My kids also learn educational information. Thanks to the internet, I am able to teach my own children from home. They learn at a very fast rate because of the internet. It has stimulated their minds in positive ways. I am also able to block unwanted websites from my computer. I am able to protect my kids from evil influences and evil people that might try to harm them.
Another way that we use the internet is to travel all over the world. We like to travel to France to visit my wife's family. We can use the internet to book plane tickets and plan our wonderful vacations. We can also visit places from the comfort of our own home. Some websites have the ability to show you places all over the world with the use of web cams. My children absolutely love this tool of the internet. I am thankful for having the internet and the benefits it provides to my family.Understand A Lot More
A Better Deal for All
On www.directsavingstv.com/, I found some great deals that made me switch from my cable company. I've been with the cable company for many years, and I thought I was getting good service, but the deals I found online were better by comparison. I went to the website after a friend told me that he had switched from cable. Like me, he had been with the cable company for a long time. It wasn't until he saw an ad on television that he thought about switching.
My friend is the kind of person who will stay loyal to a company, no matter what happens. It was surprising to see that he switched from cable. I thought he would have kept using the service until the day he died, but he really felt that his time with cable had run its course, and I agree with him.
When I first went to the website, I didn't expect to find any noteworthy deals, but as I started browsing, everything looked more appealing than what I was already paying for with cable. The service being offered had more channels, with even some international channels that I couldn't get on cable. I love watching international channels, and I always wanted there to be more on cable, but every time I asked the cable company about it, they just told me that there weren't any plans to add more international channels anytime soon. The service also had more sports channels, which was a positive for me, because that meant that I could watch every game in the entire football season without any interruptions.
After seeing the website, I took some time to think about what I saw and what my cable package was offering, and I made the decision to switch, and I don't regret my choice.Understand A Lot More

Former K.C. Crushed Concrete yard will serve North Houston.
The demolition and recycling company Cherry, based in Houston, has opened its fifth Houston-area recycling center following the purchase of K.C. Crushed Concrete yard in north Houston
When operating at full capacity, Cherry's new recycling center will process about 1,500 tons of recycled aggregates per day. The 10-acre facility also will process ferrous scrap at the site.
Cherry says that with the addition of the new recycling center, it will process between 8,000 and 10,000 tons of recycled aggregates daily in the Greater Houston area.
"We've now expanded our ability to reach more customers in the northern part of the city," says Jim Mooney, Cherry division manager for recycled aggregates. "Cherry has always served customers in this area, but now we can do it more efficiently by operating a recycling center near them."
Major equipment used at the new site include a 2854 Cedar Rapids jaw crusher, a 54-inch Simmons cone crusher and an 8-foot by 20-foot Hewitt-Robbins screen.

recently hooked
This was my first year growing passiflora
Last pring i planted a few Incarnata seeds, and had a VERY large plant by the end of fall, with several flowers
but only 1 fruit ripened.
It tasted like heaven !!!
I am HOOKED.
I live near New Orleans and am wondering what are some other varieties i can grow ?
I have a heat-mat and a greenhouse
i grow a lot of papaya, guava and other stuff.
I can plant them now, but i really want them in the ground so they can proliferate in the New Orleans sun
Also, am very open to trade if anyone has seeds for another variety i can grow.
I have lots of stuff.
(not passiflora though)
or, can gladly pay postage
If you liked incarnata fruits, wait till you try a good p. edulis variety. I've heard purple possum is a good tasting purple variety. Being in 9b, you can get a way with more than just incarnata. Have you checked well spring nursery on ebay for the pasiflroa variety they have? I think they have p, edulis and p. edulis possum purple for a very good price. I have one of the PP, but hasn't grown much for me, since I got it last year late in the growing season. Hopefully i'll get to try some fruits this year from it. I have some rooted cuttings of regular p. edulis, if you would like one, I can send a rooted cutting to you in the spring. Then, in the summer, I could send you cuttings of my p. edulis "Panama Gold". It is a commercial variety from Australia, said to have very large fruit and sweet tasting.

Just when we thought George R. R. Martin's imagination couldn't get any crazier, he went ahead and clarified just how insane and grandiose his brain truly is. The mastermind behind the book series that inspired Game of Thrones has taken to blogging once again. This time, the A Song of Fire and Ice author is voicing his dissatisfaction with HBO's rendering of the Iron Throne.
The custom-made seat for the king of the Seven Kingdoms is a cold, hard throne, forged from the thousands of swords of King Aegon Targaryen's fallen enemies. But apparently, the hulking Iron Throne we see on screen is not up to par with Martin's standards. The author posted the following note on his Live Journal on Monday night:
"The HBO throne has become iconic. And well it might. It's a terrific design, and it has served the show very well. There are replicas and paperweights of it in three different sizes. Everyone knows it. I love it. I have all those replicas right here, sitting on my shelves.
And yet, and yet... it's still not right. It's not the Iron Throne I see when I'm working on THE WINDS OF WINTER. It's not the Iron Throne I want my readers to see. The way the throne is described in the books... HUGE, hulking, black and twisted, with the steep iron stairs in front, the high seat from which the king looks DOWN on everyone in the court... my throne is a hunched beast looming over the throne room, ugly and assymetric...
The HBO throne is none of those things. It's big, yes, but not nearly as big as the one described in the novels. And for good reason. We have a huge throne room set in Belfast, but not nearly huge enough to hold the Iron Throne as I painted it. For that we'd need something much bigger, more like the interior of St. Paul's Cathedral or Westminster Abbey, and no set has that much room. The Book Version of the Iron Throne would not even fit through the doors of the Paint Hall."
The author went on to post an image that he feels best fits his vision of the Iron Throne. The picture is a painting by Marc Simonetti (see more of his fantastic work here), and it sure makes HBO's throne look like a Fisher-Price toddler chair. Check it out:
Well, we still thought that the HBO throne was pretty intimidating, but it seems that George R. R. Martin is taking a page from Ygritte and telling us, "You know nothing." It's about time we realize that our greatest fears don't hold a candle to the terrifying, larger than life monsters brewing inside this author's head. This is not the first and certainly won't be the last time we say this but: Really, George R. R. Martin?!

Super Saturday, QVC's annual mega sale in the Hamptons — where all net proceeds benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund — was in full effect today, and we were, once again, thrilled to be a part of it!
Not only do the proceeds from the sale go to the OCRF, but those of you who couldn't participate in person, can help generate funds by pinning. Yes, pinning. If you've got a Pinterest account, then you've got the means to help fight ovarian cancer. Every time the image below is repinned, QVC will donate $.50 to Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, up to $5,000.

hot summer color: hot pink!
Right now, the only things I want to wear are head-turning shades of solid color. I'm not sure if it was the overwhelming onslaught of soft, subtle neutrals that pervaded our wardrobes all spring, but suddenly my thirst for bright, bold, nearly shocking pops of color is unquenchable. And the most satisfying of them all has to be hot pink. Just one swipe of this electric hue is enough to perk me up – whether in the form of a sunning statement necklace, the perfect satchel, or even my all time favorite childhood chewing gum.
Here are a few of the fuschia items I'm lusting after today:

girl crush: Carey Mulligan
Image via W Magazine
We fell in love with this charming Twiggy look-a-like the moment we saw her in An Education. Although she has the unassuming looks of a naïve waif, her complex, understated performance packed a punch and left us thinking, Who is this girl? She took even darker turns in Drive and Shame, and managed to hold her own against two powerful leading men. This fall, she's at it again with Leonardo DiCaprio, this time as one of our favorite literary characters, Daisy Buchanan, in The Great Gatsby – and we're sure she won't disappoint.

hot summer color: teal
Teal: what color is truer to summer than this cool, inviting shade? For me, the thought of it instantly conjures up images of ocean waves, pristine lakes, Navajo-inspired jewelry, picnic blankets, friendship bracelets, tongue-staining popsicles, and sparkling pools.
Even in the fashion world, the happy color pops up everywhere during the summertime… perhaps because it looks so gorgeous against bronzed skin.
Here are a few teal items we're coveting this week:

Articles & Blogs - Silver Commentary
Silver production is falling globally. While I don't have the numbers to immediately back that up, this is a simple and obvious deduction. In 2007, the last year where FULL production information is available (and the last year before the current economic crisis started hammering silver production), silver output was up a paltry 4%.
Since then, base metals production has plummeted. With well over 2/3 of the silver produced in the world being a byproduct of other metals production, the combination of delayed or canceled projects, along with a HUGE drop in byproduct production guarantees that current silver production is falling.
For a commodity with numerous and ever-increasing industrial uses, with ever-increasing investment demand, and with global stockpiles having been almost completely depleted, this should be a silver-bull's fantasy. So why are prices not reflecting this extremely bullish supply/demand profile? In one word: manipulation.
While most sheep simply roll their eyes when they hear an accusation of "market manipulation", the facts are 100% unequivocal. All we need do is turn to noted silver authority, and tireless researcher: Ted Butler.
In his most recent commentary, "The Smoking Gun, Part II", Butler lays out the obvious (and heinous) facts. The Comex criminals (composed of a gang of four banks), now control at least 72.5% of the Comex "short" position. To provide some context, this is more than five times as large a concentration, as when the Hunt Brothers were accused of "cornering the market" in silver – on the long side.
The Hunt Brothers' main problem (a generation earlier) when they "cornered the market" was that they held too large a position to ever exit without causing a massive plunge in the silver price. If the Hunt Brothers were too big to exit, with a position less than 1/5th the size of today's Comex criminals, then obviously there is no way for these Manipulators to EVER exit their positions without ensuring their own annihilation.
And yet the "vigilant" U.S. regulators have (up until now) been unable to see "any sign of manipulation". Once again, this goes beyond any minimal level of plausibility, and constitutes nothing more than the refusal of corrupt, U.S. regulators to do their job – as they have obviously been bought off many years before this by the same Comex criminals.
What does this mean for silver investors? Should you "throw in the towel", close your positions, and concede defeat? Certainly not.
Even with ever more obvious criminal conduct to suppress the price of silver (along with the price of gold), this is a war that cannot possibly be won by the Manipulators.
As I've stated in a previous commentary, the under-pricing of anything leads to over-consumption. So, ask yourself this: what is the inevitable future for a commodity with falling production, depleted stockpiles, and ever-increasing demand?
The answer is obvious: the greatest "short-squeeze" in the history of markets (at least on a percentage basis).
At the recent PDAC conference in Toronto, a feature-speaker from Germany could not say enough about his enthusiasm for silver. German investors, in particular have a love of physical silver – as their own cultural form of economic protection from the current crises.
His only lament about silver was the global disappearance of silver coins and bars from retailers' inventories – as smart investors scoop up insanely cheap silver as fast as dealers can lay their hands on dwindling supplies.
The severe shortage of silver which is now a global phenomenon can ONLY lead to a spike in prices high enough to restore equilibrium. Every day that this manipulation continues, the ultimate "spike" to restore balance must be larger and more extreme.
Analysts today generally talk about a current equilibrium price of silver between $25 and $50/oz. Personally, I consider those numbers conservative, and fully expect to see silver prices reach three digits – at least on a temporary spike.
As cheap as silver is today, the silver miners, and especially the junior producers are cheaper still. My own portfolio holds several of these companies, and I haven't even toyed with the idea of dumping any of those shares – even during the worst of the crash last fall.
Do not miss out on the commodity-play of a lifetime. I'm definitely a "gold bug", but whatever returns I can make in the gold sector, I'm certain there are even bigger gains awaiting in silver. Do not get frightened. Do not lose patience. Your "pot of silver" awaits at the end of this "rainbow".

National Support
Support for marriage equality has continued to grow in recent years and is currently at its highest levels, according to a Gallup poll released on Dec. 5. Fifty-three percent of adults said same-sex marriage should be recognized by law as valid with the same rights as traditional marriage. Forty-six percent of respondents said they opposed it because of religious beliefs and/or interpretation of biblical passages dealing with same-sex relations.

I know several couples in the U.S. who swore they'd never get married, then they eventually realized the legal benefits to marriage when hard times (illness/injury, job loss) came along...and changed their minds. For this reason, I'd use the father's name.
August 20th, 2013 12:22 AM #5
I'd personally use the father's name because I'm not a fan of hyphens. If you do decide to hyphen, it really depends on the sound of the surnames together to pick which goes first.
August 20th, 2013 12:29 AM #7
Hers or His-Hers. Seriously, everybody?! Why should the kid get their father's name instead of their mother's? They're not married, and don't plan to become so.

Answered prayer! by Jenn S - 07/25/2012
When I was told by my mechanic that I had a wiring problem that required a vist to the dealership. I panicked at the potential cost. Discussed it with my dad and he insisted I see MOBILE MECHANIC. I traveled a total for 2.5 hours to see him. The mechanic stayed late, fixed my no taillights and dash lights problems, fixed my broken radio, and did body work to my front end Extra. He fixed bare wires he found too. All in about 40 minutes! P,us he brought car to us while we ate dinner! And charged practically nothing!

I came home from teaching and saw this box on my door step and got SO excited.
I think my favorite part of the package was this card. To me, the best part of blogging is making connections with other people. This V-Day swap was cool because you needed to check out the person's blog to get a sense of them and see what you wanted to send them. Even though my blog isn't necessarily a "food blog", I still enjoyed participating and I'm glad Jenny came up with great stuff to send!
I love LUNA bars but I haven't tried this flavor before---yay!
In some of my pictures, you can see a little furball in a purple bed.
Introducing: my cat Buggy.
We named her Buggy because she used to be such a pest when she was a kitten. She would follow us everywhere like a little bug and always be in between our legs. She's definitely over 15 years old and I love her sooooo much. We call her bed "The Buggy Bed" and she likes it because it's right next to the heater. She's not possessed, I swear, the flash just caught her little eyes haha.
I have my V-Day packages ready to go for my end of the exchanges. The snow got in my way but they are going into the mail tomorrow and I can't wait for my partners to receive them!!

Kennedy, Freeman AFL-bound
Plenty of potentially good players set to play in Arizona Fall League
Updated: August 26, 2009, 1:57 PM ETBy Jason Grey | ESPN.com
As the rosters for the latest edition of the Arizona Fall League made their rounds Tuesday, I talked with a bunch of longtime followers and scouts of the league. The opinion was unanimous: The talent level this year might be the highest it's been in recent years. When you consider the words of AFL Executive Director Steve Cobb, who said, "History tells us between 75-100 of this year's players, or nearly 50 percent, will reach the major leagues next year," there's a lot of incentive for players to perform well, and it means that those who want to get a head start on dominating their competition in 2010 should pay close attention to what happens when the AFL begins its 18th season on Oct. 13. I went over many of the key names on the Fall League rosters Tuesday. Here are some more interesting names to follow and what's at stake for them:

The Space
Aloha and Welcome to the beautiful island of Oahu.
Starting from $89/night!
This is a private studio located in the heart of Waikiki in a newly renovated Hotel - Aqua Aloha Surf Hotel. The hotel is a Boutique-style, modern hotel. There are 3 different sizes of room in this Hotel and ours has the biggest in size. Most does not come with a balcony but ours does!! So even if you see a cheaper condo in this Hotel by a private owner, it is because their studio is a lot smaller.
We own one of the unit and renting it out privately, so this unit does not manage by the Hotel, that's why we can offer the lowest price! It has a full size bed, TV, A/C, ,mini kitchen, sofa, clean towels, and linens. Upon request, we can also provide snorkeling gear, boogie boards, and etc.
We can also provide a hiking tour but there will be a donation and you can always email us for more info about which hike you are interested in, whether a waterfall hike, crater, ridges, forest, coastlines etc. Because we love to hike!
The hotel unit is located in the heart of Waikiki facing the Ala Wai canal. It is only 2 blocks to the beach and walking distance to all the restaurants, shops and grocery store is only 1 minute walk away. Close to bus stops that can take you to all the destinations you want to go, whether you want to hike Diamond Head, snorkeling at Hanauma Bay and visit the historic Pearl Harbor. It's only 2 blocks from the beach.
The hotel comes with a swimming pool and a small gym. (but why go to the pool while you can walk to the world famous Waikiki Beach in 3 minutes?). It also has a breakfast buffet, Spa, coffee shop and a tourist desk.
Wi-Fi is available in the lobby in a comfortable sitting area for you to sit down and relax. Comes with complimentary newspaper everyday at the lobby. Our room is also equipped with wi-fi
Before inquiry, please feel free to look at the calendar for availability. Parking is available with the hotel for $20/night. You have to arrange with the hotel when you arrive, the hotel manage their own parking space. Free street parking available.

Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbreit. Check-in und check-out haben perfekt funktioniert und waren flexibel.
Leider konnten wir der Einladung von Twu für eine gemeinsame Wanderung nicht folgen, haben aber seine Hinweise und Tips sehr geschätzt.
Das Appartement ist super gelegen (kurzer Lauf zur Waikiki Beach, viele Parkplatzmöglichkeiten in der Umgebung). Als "Stadtwohnung" ist es entsprechend klein und dient hauptsächlich als Schlafgelegenheit.
Wir würden sofort wieder buchen, unseren Erwartungen hat es entsprochen.
wir hatten einen netten Aufenthalt bei Chin & Twu! wir waren dort insgesamt für 4 Nächte!Ankunft war super einfach! Schlüssel hat er einfach unter der Tür liegen gelassen! die Lage des Zimmers ist wirklich klasse in nur wenige Minuten ist man am berühmten Wakkiki Beach! für uns waren hier aber zu viele Touristen deshalb waren wir nur 1 Tag am Wakkiki beach! durch die tollen öffentlich Verkehrsmittel auf der Insel ist es auch einfach herum zu kommen!wir hatten ein Mietwagen was es noch einfacher machte. parken an der Straße ist auch möglich und kostenlos!manchmal braucht man aber etwas Glück und Geduld einen Parkplatz zu finden!
die Küche ist sehr sehr klein und besteht nur aus Mini Abspühle, Mikrowelle, Toaster und Kühlschrank! leider gibt es keine GeschirrHandtücher. wer ein apartment zum kochen möchte ist hier definitiv falsch!
der Bad Bereich ist OK. für mich etwas zu klein und könnte ein paar Renovierungen gebrauchen. aber dem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis total angemessen!
Good location, was able to checkin earlier after an all night flight much appreciated. Twu was pleasant & helpful. bathroom is very small with plastic shower curtain & had a dripping tape. Would have been good to have a kettle for cup of tea needed to use microwave to boil water. Bed was comfortable. Hotel itself held luggage until our return from Big Island.
Twu was a great host. He greeted us after our arrival and was very helpful and even offered to take us to different hikes and whale watching. However we had friends visiting Hawaii at the same time, so we didn't get a chance to hang out.
The room itself was rather small but very tidy and clean. Small kitchenette, shower bathroom, older construction.
The overall experience was GREAT, this is an AWESOME place to stay at, literally 3 minutes from the beach, close to everything. Buses, shops, convenient stores were all in 1 minute walks from the hotel.
Chin met me in the lobby of the hotel called Aqua Aloha Surf in Waikiki where the rental unit is situated on the 10th floor. He provided me with the room key card and entered the unit with me located on the 10th floor. This hotel is centrally located so that you have restaurants and grocery stores all within a short walk. The beach is also just about a 10 to 15 minute walk, and it's good for swimming albeit quite crowded as you might expect in the bustling city of Honolulu. I found it very convenient to have the concierge in the lobby to answer some questions about nearby restaurants and which bus to take to get to certain places. Also, I was able to safely leave my luggage with hotel in lobby's back room on the day I checked out, but I recommend tipping them for this service.
There were some issues however. I am very picky about cleanliness and did not find the carpet in the suite clean. The bed was much too soft, the mattress quite worn out. The small sink & counter in kitchenette made it almost impossible to prepare any food other than heating up a prepared meal in the microwave oven which I bought at a nearby store. There is only a small bar fridge as well. This is okay for 1 or 2 days, but not longer IMO. The TV reception was lacking with just a few channels available, and the towels were quite worn out. There was a small veranda, but with the slider open, you got the street noise and the view was mostly other buildings quite close up except for a slight view of mountains to one side.
As I discovered, it is possible to actually get a room in the hotel for less, depending on availability. I would have actually paid less had I stayed in a better hotel room at same location for 2 nights on December 22 and 23rd (2 days after I had checked in), but the hotel prices vary, so it may be correct to say it's the "cheapest condo in this hotel." Next time, I would pay the extra dollars to have a clean and better room through the hotel, however. Perhaps the owners of the condo can make some needed changes to make this a more attractive offer.
Thanks for your review and feedback. We will definitely upgrade our linen as per your suggestion - we rely on our cleaner to inform us about things like this.
We have to disagree with you on the pricing. We just went to Aqua Aloha Surf website to book a room, the cheapest rate for January is $118 (for superior room, with no balcony), and up to $127 for a deluxe room (that's the size similar to our unit. So with taxes and fee, total for 2 nights would be $320 - compared to $228 + AirBnB fee you paid for 2 nights ($99/night + cleaning fee). The $320 is already 15% off because the hotel is running a promotion now. Perhaps when you go down to the front desk they still have room available for that day so they quoted you a cheap rate, and they probably didn't include the $16/day fee plus 14% taxes.
In addition, we would like to let you know that the mattress is new, and the small kitchenette was made aware in our listing description. After all, this is a hotel unit in a hotel building.
We took time to meet with you personally at the hotel - and we will appreciate if you have any feedback/concern, please let us know immediately so we can replace the linen for you.
Chin & Twu
Le logement était conformé à la description. Il est très bien situé dans le quartier touristique de Waikiki. Quartier très sécurisé.
Tout le matériel de plage et de plongée est disponible dans le logement.
The stay at Twu's condo was great. The location was conveniently located to all shops, convenience stores, restaurants, etc. The condo itself was clean, simple, and perfect for 2. The stay was seamless and any questions we had were always answered within minutes. Would definitely stay here again if we're ever back in the Waikiki area!!
This host has 48 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
Aloha and Welcome to the beautiful island of Oahu. We are Chin & Twu, we are both owners of this beautiful condo in this newly renovated Aqua Aloha Surf Hotel. We are both professional, friendly and always enjoy helping the tourist what they want to see and do. We have been living here for 15 years now and knows a lot about this island if you have any questions. Mahalo.

Vent hood noise measurements
Sometimes my husband is brilliant. I was musing about my (replaced) kobe insert and the noise levels thereof and he said "there's gotta be an app for that". And of course there are many apps for measuring noise levels. After some brief research I chose Noisee because it cost .99 and was highly rated for accuracy as reported here http://www.safetyawakenings.com/safety-app-of-the-week-7/
I measured using my iphone 5, in a lifeproof nud case, and had the following results for my Kobe IN2642SQB-1200 (42")
Db at each fan speed follow:
Resting on the rangetop: quietmode 57.2, l 64.9, m 78.8, h 82.4
At the kitchen table 15 feet away: quietmode 50.4, l 57.7, m 70.6, h 73.5
I measured the lowest level, waiting for noise from an outdoor lawnmower, ice maker, water slurping dog, and a child munching his sandwich to subside.
Kobe's specifications are in sones and I don't quite understand how that translates to db:
QuietMode⢠350 cfm (1.6 sones)
Low Speed 475 cfm (2.8 sones)
Medium Speed 900 cfm (7.0 sones)
High Speed 1200 cfm (8.0 sones)
I'm not sure this is useful, but playing with the app was 99 cents worth of entertainment - who knew that the sound of a slurping dog 10 feet away would be over 2 Db?
In general, my house is loud (2 dogs and twice as many children). My subjective experience is that I never mind having the fan on quietmode, and I usually use low, reserving high only for the vigorous boiling of shellfish and medium for the occasional stir fry. The performance is great, and now that the lights and noise are fixed I think I'm going to be entirely happy with the venting.
Here is a link that might be useful: reports on noise app accuracy
kksmama - This is quite the coincidence as I was getting set to start an identical thread today! The app I'm using is MultiMeasures by SkyPaw. What stalled me is I wanted to test the app on my iPhone, iPod and iPad to see if I get the same readings so that we can all begin to compare apples to apples.
My measurements from mine were more compact than yours, starting around 70 on UselessMode⢠up to a similar 80 on high. I'll definitely load the app to my other devices and post results within the next couple days. Hope others join the fun!
LOL UselessModeâ¢, foodonastump! I hope someone who understands more about sound measurement chimes in. I measured the vitamix (cleaning cycle, 400ml of water, one drop soap) and it topped out at 92.5 today. My capresso burr coffee grinder model 565 was 90. No one tries to carry on a conversation when the vitamix is running.
The house wasn't otherwise perfectly quiet; background noise seems to be at least 37db in the kitchen and I couldn't get readings lower than 32 in the bedrooms. Levels up to 60 and even 70 sound "normal" and not bothersome to me. We're going to Denali national park this summer, I'm going to try to remember to both measure AND enjoy the quiet.
I assume these measurements were in units of dBA, a weighted scale designed to match one particular human hearing sensitivity curve (c.f. Fletcher Munson).
Note that sound adds linearly, but is reported logarithmically, so if the room measurement without the hood is close to the room measurement with the hood, some mathematical care is needed to find the actual hood sound pressure level.
Anyway, as I (slightly) understand it, most measurements are taken a meter from the device being measured, often averaged over different angles.
For hoods I'd personally like to see the microphone placed at the height of the ears of the 50th percentile human adult, at the distance these ears would be from the hood when the hood placed at its recommended height over a cooktop and the human is a a typical distance from the cooktop and hence form the hood. (This depends on the hood vs. cooktop relationship and I'm sure that this could be standardized.)
The cooktop, counter, and floor would have to be some rigid material simulating the acoustic reflectivity and damping of stone and ceram. Otherwise the room would be anechoic to remove effects that will differ from kitchen to kitchen. A hard wall at the hood/counter back would be added for wall mount hoods.
As for dBA to sones, here are a couple of charts that came up on Google.
