Fantastic condo, newly renovated, clean, to top it all off location! Would highly recommend!
This condo was across the street from Kam 3 beach, where we snorkelled, and saw turtles each time. Tracie has done a great job with the renos. It is such a nice open concept, kitchen was great and there was a nice breeze flowing through.There were 4 of us, and it was like having 2 master bedrooms, with their own ensuite.The showers were wonderful. Tracie was easy to work with, and we hope to rent again sometime.
First impression was not that great however after a hour I knew I had rented the right place.
On first arrival the building is older and the screen doors give it a rather ghetto look. When we opened the door and there was a slight musty smell and no AC we all thought, oh no.
But then we realized that the place has about 10 fans, all quiet, and after running them for about 15 minutes the odor was gone. The unit doesn't get direct sunlight so AC was not necessary for us, the fans did more then a adequate job.
The pool and grills are a very short walk down the hallway, the parking spot is in a perfect location also.
The building has a elevator so if stairs are a problem then this is great for you.
Kamaole beach 3 is less the a 5 minute walk away.
The unit was well equipped and also comes with 2 coolers, 4 beach chairs, 2 are Tommy Bahamas and 2 are not, the nots need to be replaced as they were not great, usable but not great.
I would for sure stay here again.
I highly recommend VRBO 183206 to anyone who is visiting Maui. Kihei is such a lovely place to stay and we wanted a quieter, non-resort type condo for our 11 day stay. My wife, myself and 2 teenage children were very impressed with this condo and didn't want to leave when our vacation was over. We had received an e-mail from owner Tracie prior to our arrival that the condo had recently been remodeled. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. 2 big bedrooms, master has a king size bed, guest had 2 twins beds, both bedrooms had a large bathroom with a tile shower & double sinks. The kitchen was every woman's dream kitchen, so much I wanted to bring it home with me. Every gadget I needed was easily discovered. The new granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances were a joy to cook on. The washer & dryer were very convenient for us as it was right in our room. The living/dining room had a table in which we could dine at and the sectional sofa was very comfy & cozy. We went to Maui with a large group - total of 34 and we were the only ones staying at Haleakala Shores, everyone in our group always met at our condo for our outings as they all loved it. Our pool was the best and the deepest (8') and everyone always wanted to come to our condo compared to the other places our friends were staying at in Kihei. We also found it very convenient that there is a key outside of the door which can be accessed via a code. Our teenagers did not have to hang with us and were never locked out. Our very own covered parking stall also was a bonus, close to our condo, no additional fees, and all ours. So many things to do and see in Maui and we were in the heart of it by staying at this condo. When we go back we will definitely be staying in this condo again. In fact, I have shared it with many of our families and friends who are planning upcoming Maui trips. Also, the Haleakala Shores management/grounds keepers were all very friendly. You really can't go wrong with this property, and you will be so glad you chose it. Our apologies for not writing this review sooner but the day after we returned from our Maui vacation we signed papers on our new house. Moving is never any fun unless its to Hawaii. Mahalo.
This was our 15th trip to Maui, but our first time staying at Haleakala Shores. The complex was kept up very nice, with a large pool and BBQ area. The grounds were well maintained, and the residents there were very friendly. This particular condo was what we expected it to be from some of the previous reviews. The condo has not been fully renovated or upgraded, but was very large, clean and sufficient for our needs. It is located on the street side of the complex, so you can expect some traffic noise early in the morning. Overall this unit met our needs, and for the price was a good value.
The location is excellent. It is very quick and easy to reach from the Piilani Highway so one does not have to use South Kihei Road, which has slower moving traffic, when heading out on sightseeing trips.
The grounds and exterior of building are attractive and clean. The pool area is lovely, private and peaceful. This condo faces Keonokai Road which is quieter than South Kihei Road. One has only a short half block walk to a shaded park that over looks Kamaole Beach Park III which is right beside Kamaole Beach Park II enabling one to enjoy two beaches. Both offer great snorkeling and lovely sand beaches for relaxing on and building sandcastles. There are several restaurants and a variety of shops within walking distance.
If you don't want to take the stairs, there is an elevator to take you up to your floor. The condo was spacious. We had lots of room. The master bath is remodeled with a toilet high enough to accommodate someone with a handicap. The listing picture reflects the living room which has a sliding doors to the lanai. There are areas of the condo that could be up-dated but the extra amenities make up for it. What a delightful surprise to find Saran Wrap, Aluminum Foil,some basic food items in both the fridge and cupboards, and a wide variety of cooking utinsels. There were boogey boards, noodles, beach umbrellas and chairs, and food coolers. We have been in several condos over the years and usually either make do with what we have or go out and purchase or rent. How nice to have it already there for your use.
The owner was great about answering questions and gave helpful suggestions about restaurants and where to find rental gear.
Parking is a little tight. However, we had a full size car and didn't have any problems getting in and out of our parking space. One nice thing, your vehicle is always in the shade.
We enjoyed the location, the amenities and the ease of making the rental. We would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

why nellie stevens are marginal in east tn
ralph_d(6b)April 5, 2013
I read in UT SP 517 for evergreens screens that nellie stevens hollies are a marginal tree selection for east TN. Is that a shared sentiment for those familiar with East TN? I am trying to find hollies that will eventually grow 15'+ with an upright shape. My list has fosters, nellie stevens, and savannah holly. I took off the blue hollies because I read they can have problems with root rot in this climate.

I have a HTML table (well I didn't make it but I am using it, just to clear that up) with many rows and a few columns.
I want to get some of the data into a string to use as a tooltip. The way I am doing it now is reading the contents of the HTML file as a string and using string manipulation to get the data I want.
This is probably a very bad idea, so I was wondering if there is any API I could use to read text from a specific row and column in a HTML file (like row 2 column 2). I would prefer not using an external .dll library file but I'll have to use it if there is no other way.
Any ideas?

The world did not end on December 21 last year, which was suggested by the ancient Mayan calendar. Scientists now say that the Mayan calendar was - in another way, quite accurate about predicting the end of the Mayan civilization. According to new research, Maya culture collapsed a thousand years ago because it failed to cope with climate change. Instead of a cosmic cataclysm, Mayan life was wiped out by drought, researchers say.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Scientists reanalyzed a wooden beam from a Guatemalan temple, originally radiocarbon-tested in 1960.
The Mayans had developed a sophisticated society, accurate calendars and complex architecture. Mayans thrived during rainy periods but a prolonged drought somewhere between 800 and 1100 A.D. is said to have brought about its collapse.
Experts had long struggled to match dates from the Mayan Long Count calendar with the modern European calendar. The Long Count system comprised 20-day cycles made up of k'in, which formed 360-day cycles known as tuns. It was only after another unit, b'ak'tun, represented a cycle of 400 years, and it was the ending of one of these that led to the belief of the apocalypse in 2012.
Archaeologist Douglas Kennett from Pennsylvania State University applied modern carbon dating methods to a lintel, carved with historical records, found at Tikal, which was a major Mayan city.
Kennett wished to verify the accuracy of the dating: 50 years ago, as other researchers at the university reckoned the beam had been carved between AD 695 and 712.
"When looking at how climate affects the rise and fall of the Maya, I began to question how accurately the two calendars correlated using those methods," Kennett said.
Kennett and his team looked at the tree rings in the wood. The date they arrived at was around AD 658-696, which backed up the original correlation estimates.
These two estimates match up even more closely after factoring in the removal of ten to 15 years of wood growth while the carving took place.
The lintel they analyzed concerned the defeat of Tick'aak K'ahk', king of the nearby city of Calakmul, by Tikal's leader Jasaw Chan K'awiil. This discovery re-confirmed the theory that the victory was in 695 A.D., 13 years after Jasaw Chan K'awiil took to the throne.
"These events and those recorded at cities throughout the Maya lowlands can now be harmonized with greater assurance to other environmental, climatic and archaeological datasets," researchers wrote.
The findings were compared against a so-called "war index," the dates of hostile events which Maya people recorded on stone monuments. It was found that war and unrest matched periods of drought.
Conversely, during periods of plentiful rain, the Maya civilization expanded into large cities.
As recently published in the journal Science, the study described how Maya rulers commissioned monuments to record events and the research team found the frequency of texts carved in stone indicating rivalry, war and alliances increased significantly between 660 and 900 A.D., during the drying trend.
"It is not just climate drying and drought that is important, but the preceding conditions that helped stimulate societal complexity and population expansion," Kennett says. "This set the stage for societal stress and the fragmentation of political institutions later in time as conditions became drier."

Dear White's Electronics,« Back to Finds
On the morning of March 31st (Memorial Day) I woke up and decided to get a little digging in. So I called my digging buddy up and we decided to go to an old faithful spot I have. I have dug a lot of relics at the spot although they are getting fewer and fewer.
When we arrived I decided to hit all the trashy spots first, like beside the road and down the driveway. I was using my MXT with the 950 Eclipse coil. Second good signal of the day read 83/84 so I carefully dug a plug. Still in the hole, so I carefully continued to dig this sweet tone until I was about 6 inches deep. Seen the green patina, reached in the hole, and flipped over my first sword belt plate! There is a hand stamped number on the back # 762.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
One-time hero now heinous criminal
In most circles, Thomas Edwards would be a tainted outcast.
He's a convicted sex offender who preyed on young teenagers under the guise of performing traditional healing ceremonies. He won their trust, plied them with alcohol and violated them. At the time of the assaults, Edwards was a nationally acclaimed aboriginal role model; they were friends of his much-younger brother.
In 2004, Edwards won recognition for being the first aboriginal naval cadet to fight for the right to keep his long, braided hair. He went on to win two National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation scholarships and three Business Council of Manitoba Aboriginal Education Awards. His vanity Wikipedia citation calls him "a teacher, humanitarian, anti-poverty advocate, advocate for the homeless and National Aboriginal Role Model."
The criminal was a man whose trajectory seemed headed for the stars before his arrest. He was a First Nations success story: educated, committed to change, a leader in the making. At the time of his arrest, he had an education degree and was teaching at a St. Vital elementary school.
He was fired, of course, just as he was fired again when he headed to his home reserve for a new teaching position. His victims were not his students.
Edwards remains unrepentant. He denies his guilt. Because his crimes seem so out of character (and we've seen this before when the pederast is a priest, doctor or other professional), his community stands behind him. His lawyer hopes that blind support will be enough to keep his client out of jail.
It shouldn't be, nor should any other factor let him remain free in the community.
Edwards was convicted in September 2012. This week, sentencing was delayed so he could be sent to a psychiatrist and his risk of reoffending assessed. Court of Queen's Bench Justice Colleen Suche said she was concerned because Edwards hasn't admitted his guilt.
"How do I deal with rehabilitation if somebody doesn't even acknowledge they've even done the act?" she asked. "How can they be rehabilitated?"
The assaults took place between 2003 and 2007. The victims, who were friends of his younger brother, were between 14 and 16. Edwards was seven years older.
He took drunken boys into his bedroom, removed most of their clothes and touched them as part of some whack-a-doodle "healing ceremony" to rid them of evil spirits. One boy stopped him when Edwards touched his penis. Another time, the same boy woke up from an epic drinking session with his pants undone and a hand on his penis. In court, Edwards denied the boy's allegations.
The other victim got much the same treatment, although Edwards blocked the door when he tried to leave the bedroom. He cried out when Edwards anally raped him. Again, the perpetrator denied his actions.
He could not be convicted on a charge of sexual exploitation because he was not in a position of trust over the boys.
At the trial's end, Justice Suche ruled she "found the accused to be totally lacking in credibility."
Wednesday morning, his lawyer dredged shallow waters when he posited reasons Edwards deserves a conditional sentence of two years less a day. His parents divorced and he was bullied as a child, he said. That puts him in the same league as half the population. It's not a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Edwards has had these charges hanging over for him for five years, the advocate argued, as though that should reduce his penalty. His victims have been waiting for justice the same length of time.
Edwards became a role model quickly and perhaps wasn't prepared for the attention, the lawyer said. That may be so, and it must have been heady to be called a national role model in one's early 20s. You might feel overwhelmed, but you shouldn't feel the need to sexually assault a young teenager.
Thomas Edwards made a mockery of his culture by inventing a reason to sexually abuse boys. He betrayed them, and he betrayed his people. He is no role model, no hero. He's a convicted sex offender who deserves to go to jail.

About Lindor Reynolds
National Newspaper Award winner Lindor Reynolds began work at the Free Press as a 17-year-old proofreader. It was a rough introduction to the news business.
Many years later, armed with a university education and a portfolio of published work, she was hired as a Free Press columnist. During her 20-plus years on the job she wrote for every section in the paper, with the exception of Business -- though she joked she'd get around to them some day.
Sadly, that day will never come. Lindor died in October 2014 after a 15-month battle with brain cancer.
Lindor received considerable recognition for her writing. Her awards include the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' general interest award and the North American Travel Journalists Association top prize.
Her work on Internet luring led to an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada and her coverage of the child welfare system prompted a change to Manitoba Child and Family Services Act to make the safety of children paramount.
She earned three citations of merit for the Michener Award for Meritorious Public Service in Journalism and was awarded a Distinguished Alumni commendation from the University of Winnipeg. Lindor was also named a YMCA/YWCA Woman of Distinction.
Reynolds was 56. She is survived by a husband, mother, a daughter and son-in-law and three stepdaughters.
The Free Press has published an ebook celebrating the best of Lindor's work. It's available in the Winnipeg Free Press Store; all proceeds will be donated through our Miracle on Mountain charity to the Christmas Cheer Board.

Pics of new mudroom/laundry in old farmhouse, before&after!
We just completed a remodel (tear down, rebuild part of a 100 year old farmhouse) including kitchen, laundry, FR as well as a master bedroom/bath addition. My old laundry was 5' wide so I could not even stand in front of washer with a basket. The new space is narrow but the foot and a half added makes a huge difference! I love the new space. Still looking for the right light and wall hangings for WC, in time.
Before (The space had a shower, washer, dryer, sink. The fabric to the right of the sink covered the old service panel! And sorry, pics seem to have been taken when we were moving out/cleaning up or fixing busted washer!):

And the new space, starting with pocket door by new back entry (still the primary entry to the house):
New coat rack/bench:
In use (just missing cushion):
Family command center:
New coat closet:
My requirement: Iron A Way ironing center:
Details: flooring American Olean River Moss tile, counter is Ecotop in Snow White, tile Crossville Savoy beadboard in white with bead liner, custom cabs and bench, wall paint Sherwin Williams Cruising, lighting LED recessed & Restoration sconce, faucet Moen Brantford, Water Ridge dual flush comfort height toilet, other fixtures from Moen, W/D from Sears
I'd love to answer any questions! Thanks again to GW for endless advice and inspiration!
Lovely. I love the new back door, the tile, the wainscoting, and the color. I have a new bench like that and still need to cover a cushion. DH cut the foam to fit and I haven't decided whether to use piping or not. Have you decided what to use as a cushion for yours?
I like your taste!!!
Beautiful home you have!
As soon as my open kitchen/LR/dr is finished, I want to convert a small bath to laundry. My floor plan is similar to this http://homerenovations.about.com/od/bathrooms/ss/BathroomPlans.htm
Except that I have the icky plasticy shower instead of tub. The shower itself hasn't been used in probly 10 years and is a total waste of space. What you have looks wonderful and is very inspiring. What are your finished dimensions?
Thank you all for the feedback! I really appreciate it!
Holly321: the space is 15' long (+ WC which is 5x3.5')and 6.25' wide. We had that icky plastic shower as well and were so glad to get rid of it. I think you could easily trade your shower for a washer+dryer - either stacked with a sink and cupboard to one side or side by side w/counter above for folding/storage. I find a lot of newer W/D are too high for me to have a counter above be useful (and I'm tallish). My in laws have that set up and it doesn't really function well for intended purpose. Our W/D are actually the same brand from different years so, while they are meant to stack they are not meant to stack on one another. We had our counter fabricator extend the Ecotop over the washer and set the dryer above, with a bracket on the wall behind to support it at the back. It works great! I don't have much counter space for folding, which was intentional as we have never done that in the laundry room, mostly b/c we couldn't before, but we'll fold while watching TV at night instead (then DH helps when he might not otherwise!). ;)
colorcrazy: Thank you for the compliment! I do not yet know what I am doing for the cushion. I have three seat cushions I need to have made and haven't even begun yet. I am considering a dark brown as I think the chocolate is a nice contrast with the white and blue, and would be practical in a potentially messy space. Or a fun pattern! As you can tell, I love color. Piping sounds like a nice, finished touch. Ideaas welcome!
Thanks again.
Lovely room. Could you tell me about your wooden entry door ~ where you get it manufacturer, style and the pocket door. Very pretty.

Scharff Weisberg Provides Lighting And Video Support To Jonathan Goldstein for Kanye West's New Album Media Blitz
When Kanye West released his fourth solo album, â808âs and Heartbreak,â? recently, Scharff Weisberg provided lighting and video support to lighting designer Jonathan Goldstein for the artistâs many media appearances, including a guest shot on âSaturday Night Live.â? All of the events took place within a two-day period demonstrating Scharff Weisbergâs ability to respond quickly to venues with very different requirements.
âKanye and I have have a good relationships with Lorne Michaels and SNL,â? comments Goldstein. âFor this show they were extremely accommodating, allowing us in for days to set up and prep and also allowing us to create some very unique looks for the show.â?
For Westâs appearance on âSaturday Night Liveâ? Scharff Weisberg provided almost 100 Lighthouse 6B High Resolution LED panels, which displayed video content from Mode Studios and Very Good Touring driven by Hippo and grandMA consoles. âNever before has âSNLâ changed the guest stage as much as they did for this event,â? reports John Healy who served as Sales/Project Manager for the project. âIt was groundbreaking and challenging. But teams from âSNL,â Scharff Weisberg, and Video Walltronics and Design worked through every challenge thrown our way and succeeded in a huge way.â?
West also turned in back-to-back appearances on a series of New York-based talk shows: âThe Late Show with David Letterman,â? âLate Night with Conan OâBrien,â? âGood Morning, America,â? and BETâs â106 and Park.â? For these guest shots Scharff Weisberg furnished a lighting rig to meet the specifications of designer Goldstein.
âAll the shows were planned to have a very similar look,â? notes Healy. âWe supplied four to six 3.5K Zap Big Lites and eight six-foot LED Colorblaze fixtures for each venue which were incorporated with the house lighting system. The lights were controlled with networked grandMA consoles run by Local One board operators.â?
Goldstein adds, âProgrammer Sean Cagney was a huge help; he has programmed most of the Kanye stuff for me. Over the last six months heâs been able to develop a good working relationship with us, quickly delivering looks for us to review. This is critical because Kanye and I work on the fly. It's quite fun and challenging.â?
For SNL, Melanie Malone is the talent coordinator, Geoff Amoral is the lighting director and Phil Hymes is the lighting designer. Terry Jackson and John Healy were Scharff Weisbergâs project managers for all of Westâs 808 and Heartbreak record release appearances.
Scharff Weisberg and Video Applications, firms with extensive histories in the presentation and staging markets, recently announced a co-ownership agreement. While continuing to operate independently the two companies work together strategically to provide clients with state-of-the-art audio, video and lighting equipment and services.
