Mpowerme focuses on the health and wellbeing agenda with stress, depression, mental health, ill health, staff absenteeism, self worth as well as those issues around communication, relationships and careers being addressed within this. I look at life from a holistic perspective and support clients to access the appropriate therapies for their need, if they have needs outside of transformational coaching, such as counselling or alternative therapies.
I am very open about my life experiences; I bring together my formal education, my own life experiences and my own ongoing personal development and education. It is very clear in my work that being able to give clients examples of other perspectives, stories of change, different opinions etc are enormously valuable in supporting others. Ultimately we are all on a journey with choices to make.

Can you shed light on the role of co-operatives dept in construction of cellphone towers?
Co-operatives dept supervises the smooth functioning of co-operative units, including 87,000 housing societies, in Maharashtra. Taking into account the mushrooming of cellphone towers, the dept issued a directive in June stating that 70% of the members in a housing society should attend the annual/special general body meeting of which 70% should give consent for erecting cellphone towers.
Does this rule apply to cellphone towers erected before the directive was passed?
It does. We updated the circular a few days ago and it states that the grievances of society members should be discussed and voted on in the annual/special general body meeting of the society. Most AGMs are due in August. We issued the corrigendum a few days ago. Our ward-level and district-level officers intervene in dispute. If residents
are still aggrieved they should move the court. We issue directives, but there is no provision for penalty against the erring.
What's your take on health effects of cellphone tower radiation?
The circular states that residents should be made aware of any possible health hazards of a mobile tower before one is erected. Up to 8,000 towers were erected in Mumbai before guidelines were issued. Now we have put together the directives. The health dept should take it upon itself to counsel the masses.
Was there opposition from cell tower companies while streamlining the sector?
Cell tower companies wrote to chief minister's office complaining that they had not been taken into confidence when the directives were issued. I tried to convey to them that we were merely putting rules in place. However, they have failed to appreciate our efforts.

Sangeeth Kurian
DPI and Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan will train them
Programme will be held after Onam
50,000 participants are expected
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: When Gayathri, a student of the government school at Sreekaryam, cleared the Secondary School Leaving Certificate examination held in March this year, it proved to be a triumph of her indefatigable spirit.
A victim of osteoporosis, a condition in which the bones lose calcium and become brittle, Gayathri was confined to bed for nearly three years. But thanks to her meritorious performance at the examination, she has now enrolled for higher studies in a leading city school.
Gayathri's success is not just a one-off incident if Johny K. John, Director, State Institute for Educational Management and Training (SIEMAT), is to be believed. There are several other special children living in our midst who are waiting to be discovered.
It was an awareness programme conducted by the institute for the parents of children with special needs prior to the examination that revealed the plight of Gayathri to the school authorities.
"Her (Gayathri's) triumph was greatly due to the support she received from her parents, who stood firmly by her in fulfilling her dream of writing the exam," Mr. John says.
Hidden talents
Aimed at identifying more such hidden talents, the institute will conduct a massive orientation programme for parents of special children after Onam.
More than 50,000 participants are expected to take part in the State-level campaign.
The Directorate of Public Instruction and the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan will train parents in batches of 50 each across 38 educational districts.
Parents of children from classes I to VIII will be covered under the programme and will be given an update on how to manage the children and how to press for their rights on the basis of legislation.
Only when parents accept special children, with all their deficiencies and limitations, as individuals will society do so, Mr. John says.
Most of the children with disabilities will have a special talent to tide over their limitations.
It is the responsibility of parents to create a right ambience for the fruition of their innate flair.
He describes how Arun Joy, a student of Assisi Higher Secondary School for the Deaf, Neerpara, got over his speech and hearing impediments to enrol for a course in fashion technology.
"The boy displayed a remarkable flair for tailoring, despite his handicap," he says.
The training in September will inform parents on how to identify possible disabilities in children with the help of toys and by observing their responses to various environmental stimulations.

The Shiv Sena has demanded construction of a skywalk connecting the new Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) head office from Belapur gaon and from the Killa junction side. Leader of opposition in NMMC Saroj Patil said, "For the safety of citizens who are coming to the civic headquarters, a skywalk is a must so that people do not have to cross the road which is busy with heavy vehicles going towards Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust."
She added, "If their demands are not met, Sena will have no option but to launch an agitation." The municipal corporation's head office shifted to Killa junction last month. Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport has started bus services from Vashi to the new headquarters, which drops commuters at Killa junction. However, this spot is always busy due to continuous movement of heavy vehicles such as trucks and trailers, as most of them head towards JNPT.
"People have to face hardships while crossing the road and if a skywalk is constructed it will add to the convenience of those coming to the new civic office," said Patil.
She added, "Even though the traffic department has installed signals at the junction, the flow of traffic is continuous from all the sides, as a result pedestrians' lives are at a risk."
A few visitors to the new head office had also complained that the location was inconvenient and bus services were also limited. "Since the office is far away from the railway station and bus depot, there is no option but to rely on autorickshaws to reach the place. Also, the bus services are quite unpredictable," said a Vashi resident, who was visiting the civic headquarters.
When contacted, a civic official said, "The works of citizens are mostly handled at ward-office level and we are working out a system wherein all kinds of works are handled at the ward office itself. Residents do not have to travel all the way to Belapur just to get their work done."

After nearly five years as ABC's evening news anchor, Diane Sawyer will step down from the news desk and become an investigative and enterprise reporter, the network announced Wednesday.
Weekend anchor David Muir will take Sawyer's place in September.
The move caps Sawyer's longtime run as a news anchor for various network shows, including ABC's Primetime Live, 20/20 and Good Morning America.
She has been the evening anchor at ABC's World News since December 2009, when she replaced Charles Gibson.
Sawyer, 68, was a teen beauty queen from Louisville, Kentucky, before graduating from Wellesley College and starting her TV career as a weather forecaster at WLKY-TV in Louisville.
In the '70s, she worked as a White House staffer for President Richard Nixon and later as a reporter for CBS News. She rose in prominence over the decades as a network correspondent and anchor, until reaching the anchor desk of ABC World News in 2009.

Please check with miami dade county school district-this school was closed 1year ago. The building is now the John I. Smith K-8 Middle Learning Center.
Doral Middle School is a public middle school in Doral. The principal of Doral Middle School is Mr. Ramon J Garrigo, who can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com. 225 students go to Doral Middle School and identify mostly as White, non-Hispanic; Hispanic; and Black, non-Hispanic. 13% of the Doral Middle School students have "limited English proficiency." 65% of the 225 students here get reduced lunch prices. The student to teacher ratio at Doral Middle School is 21:1. Eugenia B. Thomas K-8 Center is one of the nearest middle schools.

Please check with miami dade county school district-this school was closed 1year ago. The building is now the John I. Smith K-8 Middle Learning Center.
In overall it's a Great School. The ISOL teacher have to many student in one class and that affect the student who really what to learn and do their job.
The school has better administration and faculty and staff. This school was an "A" school for 10 years and it has an Adgriscience program which you could become a vet or a doctor.
I used to go to this school. Now it really sucks. It's not Doral Middle School anymore. They had an excellent Agriscience program and exceptional language classes but all the elective teachers may get fired. Also a couple of the math/ reading/ science/ Civics/ History/ Geography teachers are great but most aren't that good.
this school is great as a parent i love the fact it was an a school for 8 years ths school s great
I am the parent of a 7th grader and so far I am very happy with DMS. The teachers have been excellent. They really care about the students. You can e-mail them and they respond usually in the same day. The academic programs are great - there are Advanced classes Gifted Cambridge and Gifted Cambridge. The administration is available if you need to speak to them. When you call the school and leave a message for an administrator they always call back or e-mail back. If you want to get involved with the PTA you can and they keep you informed of activites happening in the school that you can participate in. The Field Trips are minimal and meant only for the students who behaved well or have good grades. That's good because it doesn't take away too much time from academics.
All the good teachers have left DMS. Cedeno Ugarte D'Arce and Pacheco are gone. Schools is going to be lonely and dull. Who will be there for students now. No activities or caring interesting teachers. Makes me sad.
As a parent I am very concerned about my children education. I believe that most of the parent reviews focus on what the school gives to the kids and the children reviews are mixed always stating that there is a good teacher some where. I am involved in my children s education and every time I have asked to talk to a teacher in the most part they are concerned and preoccupied about the student. As always in every profession there is a black ship that does not care about anything and I have seen it personally. When parent involvement is present the reviews are usually good and I read all of them.
Excelent school improving each year. No school is perfect but they really do a great job. It is an A school the music program and Cambridge program are very good!
I agree with the other parents. I am not happy with the school. Changing a childs schedule in the middle of a semester is absurd. This is interrupting learning & also diminishes their motivation. They are in the class like their teacher & use to their schedule. They do this to try to fix their mistakes from the beginning of the year. They need to get it right the first time. No one cares whats best for the child. Plus the new teachers don't have a clue what the child had done the first half of the quarter. The 6th grade vice-principal is extremely rude. The cafeteria workers & the security guards can't speak english? What good is that? Also why must they change the uniform each year. Some parents aren't as priviledged as others to afford all new uniforms every year & there is only 1 option? Come on....
Doral is truly a great school amongst the schools of Dade County. The teachers have managed to maintain great FCAT scores for about 5 years or more. They have also manage to show Dade County that students who are mostly immigrants can perform at high standards with little help Dade County provides. My niece is happy. The Principal is also great. I do have one issue. I wish she would change the uniform and drop the ties. The boys look really scary with those half-hanging ties and it takes away from the discipline the school has. I think that if you wear a tie you should wear it right and not in an ugly fashion as it is done currently. Arriba Doral Middle School. Abajo con Chavez!
This school is great. I am in the 7th grade in gifted and my teachers are great. My civics teacher can be a pushover sometimes but he teaches great so everyone can understand.My language arts teacher can have her mood swings but she is really experienced and knows everything! My science teacher is very strict but if u get him on his good side he's really nice and he is very great at teaching. My algebra 1 teacher can give alot of homework but she understands everything and knows how to teach great. my band teacher is very talented and can really understand any type of music. his jazz band symphonic and orquestra is extreamly good. if you have a chance go to this school!
I love my school.I have so much fun and also learn too.Everybody in the school is very friendly and fun.Im an 8th grader there.
I'm in 7th grade this year and I think this school is okay! My teachers are really helpful. Mr.Cedeno is awesome in civics. Ms.binetts class is super fun. Ms.lee helps soo much in language arts. Ms.caponianco actually teaches math fun and easy to learn. Portugese is really fun and in Ms.Cuevas class is super fun and I can actually learn something in her science class! The only thing is that they are really strict with attendance. In this school u can actually learn something and the activites are really fun they should have more though!
But the more advanced teachers are good. Mr. Varon is the best Science teacher in the school. He is motivated and really friendly. So is Ms. Tia.
I am in 7th grade at this school in the Gifted Cambridge program and a member of the Orchestra. Ms. Tia is one of the most motivated Algebra I teacher in this school because she makes math actually fun. She really knows what she is teaching. She knows when to correct a student in math and that she teaches in general perfect math.
My daughter is in the 7th grade now and i am not loving this school at all. What sense does it make to change a student schedule in the middle of a semester. This is interrupting learning i believe. My daughter based on her grades from last year + her fcat score was suppose to be in advance civics and regular language art. At the beginning of the semester was placed appropriately but right when she was getting comfortable with her classes and a good progress report. The school administration decided to change her schedule and now is very disoriented. I asked for her schedule to be change back no one is doing anything about it. Not a good school. Do not care about students progress.
To tell you the truth DMS was a good school.I been there since the 6th grade but now im in High School and I was not that boring it got kind of fun during the year. The learning is not that good but when it comes to activities its the best. The thing I hated was being too strict about the uniform. The principle..she was all right but all she does is worry about your attendance and uniform. I'll Give this school a 7
Ok well I have attended Doral Middle School for the three years and I can tell you that you don't do anything in that school. And teachers don't try to teach you alot. However there are a couple of good teachers. But you would need a good school to teach on. The principal is a total joke. She only focuses in attendance and nothing else. Now I'm in high school and i'm having a really hard time adapting to what a real school actually demands.
DMS is the worst school in Miami Dade county my daughter was there for only 4 months the teachers just go to work to get their pay check they really don't care about the progress of the kids and they have attitudes toward the parents. Someone should go with a disguise and see what is the problem at that school. because something is not ok.

Obama Admits Failure on Mideast
Says he didn't understand local politics
In a new, year-in-review interview with Time (yesterday was the one-year anniversary of his inauguration, in case you forgot to buy him a gift), President Obama flatly acknowledges: "The Middle East peace process has not moved forward. And I think it's fair to say for all our efforts at early engagement, is not where I want to be." (This is via Ben Smith.)
Why the lack of progress? (Other than, "This is just really hard"—admittedly a legitimate answer.) Obama:
We overestimated our ability to persuade them to [start engaging in meaningful conversation] when their politics ran contrary to that. From Abbas's perspective, he's got Hamas looking over his shoulder and I think an environment generally within the Arab world that feels impatient with any process.
And on the Israeli front, although the Israelis I think after a lot of time showed a willingness to make some modifications in their policies, still found it very hard to move with any bold gestures. … Moving forward, though, we are going to continue to work with both parties to recognize what I think is ultimately their deep-seated interest in a two-state solution in which Israel is secure and Palestinians have sovereignty.
(He added that, in hindisght, he wished his administration had not raised expectations so high.)
All politics is indeed local. It can seem frustrating, that the domestic concerns of small populations have such a huge effect on the world. But such is the power that the state of Massachusetts wields. Oh, and Israel and the Palestinian territories, too. Incidentally, U.S. envoy George Mitchell is back in the region; he meets with Abbas today in Ramallah.

Wife/Girlfriend: Another key target—while taking another man's girl has been a part of every generic battle-rap since the dawn of time, these are especially valuable if your enemy is in a weird relationship with an r&b singer. ("That's why I fucked yo' bitch, you fat motherfucker," Tupac, "Hit 'Em Up"; "If you think I'm fucking your wife/You're motherfucking right," Eazy-E, "Niggaz 4 Life"; "I hope your girl get AIDS," Cam'ron, "Hate Music"; "I let your girl suck my dick from the back/And let your moms give me cornrows on my crack," Redman, "Noorotic"; "I get your bitch pregnant/You take the bitch to Lamaze," R.A. the Rugged Man, "American Lowlife.")
Baby Mama: This wickedly unfair stratagem renders your rival responsible for whatever ugly deeds his ex-girl (or just a former jump-off) has done since their breakup. Highly recommended. ("I came in your Bentley backseat/Skeeted in your jeep/Left condoms on your baby seat," Jay-Z, "Super Ugly"; "I got my middle finger up your baby-mama anus, bitch," Baby Beech, "Wiggy Wiggy.")
Pet: Only a total monster could hurt someone's ferret. ("Kill my dog, I'm-a slay your cat," Flavor Flav, "Terminator X to the Edge of Panic.")

UCISA (Universities and Colleges Information Systems Association) is a United Kingdom association which represents the whole of higher education, and increasingly further education, in the provision and development of academic, management and administrative information systems. UCISA was formed on 1 April 1993, by a merger of three bodies: the Inter-University Computing Committee (IUCC), the Polytechnics and Colleges Computer Committee (PCCC), and the Management Information Systems Committee (MISC). This merger took place in response to the Further and Higher Education Act of 1992 which effectively removed the binary distinction between universities and polytechnics/colleges, creating a single higher education sector. UCISA is a membership organisation which consists of full members (universities, colleges and other educational institutions), affiliate members (other educational, not for profit organisations, overseas universities and educational bodies) and corporate members (commercial organisations). There are currently over 140 full members, over 30 affiliate members, and over 50 corporate members.

I can't help but bust out a "har har" every time I'm asked where I get my protein. It's 2011, and being vegan has never been easier—and it's a weak excuse to say you "can't be vegan" because you play sports! Athletes like Daniel Bryan, newly vegan Jake Shields, and Mac Danzig are constantly kicking ass and are involved in two of the most physically demanding sports out there—and yeah, they're vegan. So if you're an athlete looking to ditch your zombie ways, read on, playa.
A fun thing that a handful of my friends and I used to do was meet up on Sundays to play basketball. Not sure how many of you out there like to shoot hoops—but generally when you play on public courts folks will challenge you to a pick-up game. My team was composed entirely of vegans, while the opposing team was generally "zombies." Needless to say, we had a winning team and were damn proud of it. What was our secret you ask? Some would say talent (and I would agree), but I also think our healthy lifestyles had something to do with it. Here are some great links for being a healthy vegan athlete, or for anyone looking to get in better shape!
Like most of you out there, one of my New Year's resolutions this year was to get into better shape—but I kind of slacked off here and there. Who wants to join me in going strong for the rest of the year? Let's do this!

Good post, VeganHealth dotorg is from a Registered Dietician with the great group VeganOutreach. I find that to be most helpful, since I didnt know about the importance of omega-3 (flaxseed oil-or pill, walnuts etc – not fish) or iron for years. The site has info on nearly every condition possible (more detail than most need) event lists sources and such.
Jake Shields did a nice peta2 video that I uploaded a few times under tags/tite of his UFC championship fight against GSP that got over 80k views total on them! Share it! Vegan Body Building dotcom is good too, thanks for plugging them!

thanks so much for posting this. i knew there were vegan body builders, i just haven't been able to find much info on it and i have trouble maintaining a high enough weight for my height and i lose very easily so previous attempts at going vegan went sour due to my looking unhealthily like a skeleton and therefore bringing negative connotations to the stereotype, which I do not want to promote.

I previously wrote about the Ninth Circuit decision in Northwest Environmental Defense Center v. Brown (NEDC), 640 F.3d 1063 (9th Cir. 2011) where the court overturned EPA's Silviculture Rule and said that where stormwater runoff is collected in systems of ditches, channels, and culverts, and then discharged into adjacent rivers, these discharges constitute industrial "point sources" under the CWA and require NPDES permits. Now, the EPA has revised its Phase I stormwater regulations to say that a NPDES permit is (again) not required for stormwater discharges from logging roads. The EPA says it did not intend for logging roads to be regulated as industrial facilities, and so in light of NEDC, it has revised its rules to clarify the Agency's intent.
In the meantime, the Ninth Circuit case is now before the Supreme Court, which heard oral arguments on it on December 3, 2012.
The EPA believes that the more flexible regulation available under Section 402(p)(6) of the Clean Water Act is better suited to addressing the complexity of forest road ownership, management, and use than the NPDES discharge limitations that apply to industrial dischargers. It has added language to its stormwater regulations to clarify that, for the purposes of assessing whether stormwater discharges are "associated with industrial activity," the only facilities under the Logging Industrial Code that are treated as "industrial discharges" for stormwater purposes are rock crushing, gravel washing, log sorting, and log storage.

I've never gave any park reviews before but I couldn't pass this one up. A must visit park, quiet, clean and very friendly. The park has new owners and they are doing more than expected to make your stay unforgettable. They have big plans to make this park enjoyable for everyone. Sites are large and most are shaded. 30 and 50 amp service, Wi-Fi works good, water pressure is good, cable is a little fuzzy on some days but other days it is good. All sites are full hook up. Large pond on site with plenty of fish. There is a nice large community room with TV, books to read and plenty of tables to gather around. There is also a covered patio with tables and chairs to gather around with friends and enjoy the night air. Mail service is also available. Only 2 miles to the grocery store and 16 miles to the Walmart supercenter. Medical center, Hospital and eye clinic just down the road from Walmart. Plenty to see and do not far from the park. Natural Bridge, Blanchard Caves and Greers Ferry Lake are close places to visit also. - den60
Apr 2013 - $11.00
This park is a gem as it is quiet with large spaces and lots of pull through spots. There is a club house and the people that run the park are helpful and friendly. This is the price for RPI and if you stay there as Passport America it is $13 and no limit to the days. We will stay here again and pass it along to others. - rolling homeless
Oct 2012 - $40.00
Very friendly and helpful owners. Reasonable Wi-Fi, nice pull through sites. Very quiet and excellent for one or two nights (or longer if you like fishing!) We stayed here with PPA. We will come back. - Traveller Excel

DELANCEY — Despite the increased use of cell phones and the Internet, amateur radio use continues to rise across the country — including the Punxsutawney area.
There are almost 730,000 amateur radio operators in the U.S. and over two million worldwide — including ones in nearly every country, said Jerry Bosak, an amateur radio operator from DeLancey.
Bosak said that before World War II, there were 100,000 licensed ham radio operators.
INDIANA — The Indiana County District Attorney's office held a press conference Thursday afternoon at the Indiana State Police Barracks to announce that it plans to seek the death penalty in the triple homicide case against Lewis Beatty, 40, South Mahoning Township, who has been charged with killing both of his daughters and his estranged wife June 1.
District Attorney Pat Dougherty said his office had to file a notice with the court prior to Beatty's formal arraignment in October of its intention. That notice was filed Wednesday, Dougherty said.

The Kickstarter is finally all finished! The Boards are up for Pre-Sale in the store. http://www.figurepainters.com/store/
The Pre-Sale is to allow me to make a large materials order to help keep costs down and replenish some stock.
Check them out and let me know if you have any questions!
found out that is is much more involved than you though?
Well with the Super 3D dungeon boards Kickstarter it has definitely been that! We are coming up to the end of it with the last few painted boards shipping out soon.
I plan on putting together a more thorough post with some costs break downs to give everyone an idea of how everything went.
Qucickly though here is a fun picture with some minis while I had 18 or so painted boards together in a group :)
I finished up part of the Convergance of Cyriss that I picked up at Lock and Load this year. It is headed to ebay to help pay for the trip :(
If anyone is interested let me know. I will be posting it up to ebay later tonight or tomorrow.
You you see the pictures starting at the end of page 2 http://www.figurepainters.com/galleries/other-warmahordes/?currentPage=2
I know everyone is chomping at the bit for pictures and updates!!
Here they are! :)
Boards are coming along nicely and packaging is on its way.
I am on schedule currently for the unpainted boards to be shipped the end of this month.
Please add any final add-ons through BackerKit that you may want to. I will be locking the BackerKit add-on this Saturday the 13th.
All the bottles showed up a few weeks ago and are getting filled with colored goodness.
Here are the pictures of all the sample painted boards and a big ol' pile of bottles. :)
I am back from Kingdom Con. now! I had a blast and it was great to meet those of you that were able to make it.
I managed to win their Crystal Brush Qualifier painting competition so I will be headed to Adepticon in 2014!
There will be some changes and re-organizing coming to the website in the next few week. Some upgrades and maybe a new store. :)
I have been busy painting and working on finishing up fullfillment on the Super 3D Dungeon Boards Kickstarter.
I have lots of pictures to add updates to the Kickstarter.
I am also headed down to Kingdom Con this weekend. So if any on you will be down there I will see you there!

When companies have an executive with serious behavior problems AND they want to retain him/her, executive coaching helps solve four key problems:
- Permanently change poor behavior—100% of those who were about to lose their jobs, and completed our program, kept their jobs for one year or longer
- Eliminate the expense of severance, rehiring, and training which is the equivalent of one or more year's salary
- Increase morale and respect of other employees who see senior leadership's commitment to holding itself accountable to behavior and performance expectations
- Allow the client to retain the institutional memory and key skill set.
Working with Malone, you can permanently change the negative behavior and positively impact your company culture and bottom line.

Ferro- Cement
As an avid "ROCK" boat owner I will try to give an objective opion about owning a Ferro-Cement boat. I purchased mine a year ago but not with out alot of investigation.The Islandchief is a 60ft. Cutter Rigg with a displacment of 58,000lbs. He`s full keeled with a swing center board. Drafting 4ft board up and 9ft board down. Perfect for cruising the Islands. First off, I want to say YES!! There are alot of JUNK boats out there. However there are alot of JUNK boats in other constructions. When buying a boat always listen to your gut. The first time you step foot on the deck you`ll know. At least that`s the way it was for myself and Wanda (my better half). When considering a Ferro-Cement boat, get all of the details on how the construction was performed.Who built it and is the builder still available for coment. There is also a great web site called "World of Ferro-Cement Boats". Go through this web site before getting the " I GOTS TO HAVES" There are alot of myths about Ferro boats. The more you educate yourself the better off you will be. Oh, and Stay away from people that offer opions with no facts to back it up. I myself love my boat and would`nt trade it for any other boat. I have also seen some that would be better off as a reef. The Ferro-Cement boat as received a bad name for itself and rightly so. However when you find a good one they can`t be beat. Oh, I forgot to mention. I have a No.2 Hull. The mother ship is in St Thomas called "New Horizons". Both ships were designed by Stan Huntingford in Vancouver B.C. and both built to the same strict standards. So check with the current owner and see if there is another vessel out there. The original builder or owner would know for sure. If you have any other questions or want to coment drop me a line.
Sincerly, Chuck Fleer

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
(The Ritz Carlton Residences - Waikiki Beach is currently being built across the street. Guests may want to close the windows and lanai doors and use the free air conditioning to minimize the noise and this new building will significantly reduce ocean views. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.)
Good Choice for Extended Stays.
Affordable Luxury in the Heart of Waikiki with Partial Ocean Views! Walk to the Beach, World Class Shopping, Fabulous Restaurants and Exciting Nightlife! Close to the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, the Beachwalk, the Hale Koa and the Trump Waikiki. 'The Bus' Stop is in Front of the Building.
This Totally Renovated One Bedroom Condo, with Cherry Cabinets, Granite Countertops and Stainless Steel Appliances, is in the Popular Four Paddle Building, which is Centrally Located, has a Lovely Pool, Large BBQ Area, and Sauna.
There is a Second Doorway to the Bathroom for Complete Privacy for the Master Bedroom.
Free Parking for 1 car inside building!
Free Utilities including Air Conditioning
Free Calls within the US and Canada
Free High Speed Internet
We love providing our guests with beautiful, fully-furnished, luxury properties in Hawaii with fantastic ocean views at prices much less than what they would spend for ocean-view hotel rooms, plus they get the gourmet kitchen, washer/dryer and free parking! We love welcoming our guests from around the world.
The Four Paddle is a wonderful building in the heart of Waikiki and this condo has been completely renovated as a luxury, high end condo with spectacular views of Waikiki and the ocean. The location is fabulous: close to Waikiki Beach, the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, Luxury Row, the Beach Walk, and the Hale Koa. The Bus stops right in front of the building.
We stayed in this condo for 15 days and everything in the unit is exactly as pictured on-line. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, plates, glasses, wine glasses, toaster, coffee pot, and even a rice cooker. Although we only usually ate breakfast in the unit, everything needed to dine in was available if needed. The bedroom has a king sized bed which we prefer and our daughter loved the mattress on the sleeper sofa. We used to have a rental unit in a ski resort and it was the same sleeper sofa brand that we had. i know the brand and quality and it is very high end. There were plenty of bath towels and the in unit washer/dryer was very handy. There are also an abundance of beach towels and as of now, there are two Tommy Bahama beach chairs that we left in the unit. This is the third time I have rented a condo in Waikiki Beach and I always get nervous. I was burned with my selection last year as it didn't match the photos on-line and it made for a very long vacation. This year, however, that was not the case. This unit is just perfect. The parking spot is very handy and is a good size, especially for Honolulu. The pool area is very nice and we even barbecued on the 4th of July. Finally, Cynthia is great to work with. Since my condo experience last year didn't work out, I had a million questions for her prior to booking. She was very patient and I could tell that I wouldn't have the same experience as last year. Mike was also great once we arrived. He was helpful with the unit and with recommendations on things to do and places to eat. He checked in every so often just to make sure things were okay. Fantastic service from Cynthia and Mike. On a final note, unfortunately, the Four Paddle building has a major construction project across the street. Sadly, this new building will block the beautiful view in the next two years. As of July 2014, the new building is on about the fifth or sixth floor and we did not experience any noise problems whatsoever. If the slider door was open there was noise, but to be honest, there is quite a bit of noise normally from the normal street traffic. The construction noise never woke us up or caused problems. Overall, this unit is very comfortable, clean, fully stocked, and has a great owner/management team.
We had another amazing stay in this lovely condo as we were there in Sept 2012. As mentioned before that everything is just great. The bed is even more comfortable than my expensive bed at home. Watching the fireworks from our lanai was lovely....my son loved it too. The kitchen has everything you need to be able to cook and prepare meals. The pool area is great with a huge entertaining area to cook a BBQ. It's great having a car space as we always hire a car to get around the island. Everything is in walking distance or you can just jump on a trolley which is fun too.
We just can't thank Mike and Cynthia enough for making our stays so much like a real home away from home.....Mahalo, Mahalo, Mahalo.
We were hoping to stay again at Christmas but you are already booked :(
Hope to be back soon.
It is extremely rare that the advertising of a property actually measures up to the reality. In the case Four Paddle, the advertising falls well short of the reality of this truly superb condo. Having stayed in many types of accomodation over the last 40 years, I can honestly say that this one bedroom condo is all that it says, and much more. One can run out of superlatives. Suffice it to say, from the booking process with Cynthia to meeting Michael, her manager, and seeing the accomodation, plus that wonderful view. What a joy each morning to open the drapes and see that unrivalled view over Waikiki, We travelled many thousands of miles from England to Honolulu, but staying at Four Paddles made it worthwhile. The only complaint, and it is a really big one, that neither Cynthia no Michael could do anything about, and that was that our stay had to end.Be sure of one thing, we can't wait to return! Aloha
This was our second stay in this wonderful condo. The location is perfect. The bus stops in front on Kuhio. If you don't want to take the bus there is a parking place. If you don't want to drive you can walk - EVERYWHERE. There are restaurants galore of every star level within a few blocks. The condo itself provides everything you need and more. I don't even as have much linen in my own home! The view is fabulous. Friday nights were a favorite to watch fireworks from the deck. The Four Paddle building is secure, clean, and hosts a pool, BBQs, and sauna. The security and maintenance staff smile and acknowledge you each time they see you. The beach is just a couple blocks away. Everything is super clean. We can't wait to return.
I have been to Waikiki many times before and stayed in many different hotels and condos but I must say that this one is the best.
On arrival we met Mike who showed us into the condo and all the facilities the complex had to offer - there was a lovely welcome gift awaiting us too. Mike was wonderful and very helpful when we had a small issue with the internet not working and came over and fixed it for us.
The location was so convenient to everything and the pool and bbq area was lovely. The condo itself was very clean and well appointed with everything you need.
The view from our balcony was great especially for the Friday night fireworks.
We also hired a car so we could drive around the island and visit lots of places we hadn't been to before which was great as there was a car spot included with the condo which saved lots of money. We also caught the Trolley/Tram around Waikiki and to the Ala Moana Shopping Centre which was fun and a good way to see everything for $2 each person.
The were lots of great restaurants that we would recommend but to mention a few being Tony Romas for a nice steak and ribs, Keo's for beautiful Thai and for the kids would be Hard Rock Cafe and Chilis. All of these are within minutes walking distance and really great value.
I would recommend this condo to anyone who is wanting a really nice place to stay at a very reasonable price - BOOK IT!!!
Mahalo Cynthia and Mike and we will see you again soon.
We had a wonderful stay at this unit again!!! Sometimes we could see the whales with blowing from our lanai. And also the rainbow from the ocean!!
We were in Paradise.
That is real vacation for us.
Our Canadian and American friends came over for having our Japanese foods using Hawaiian ingredient!! Very nice equipment!!
We will be back again next same term!! Mahalo, and lots of ALOHA
Koji and Kyoko from Japan

You've expressed great thoughts and inspiration for us all ... and ALL have responded with great ideas on travel, life.
I broke away from the Rat Race in my early 20's after dropping out of UCLA Film School. Just wasn't for me ... at that time. Hit the road, mostly off the bike, but sometimes ON the bike. I did pretty much what John is doing now. Work in USA, save money, go travel.
Started a businesses, volunteered along my 16 country, 7 year run. (1973 to 1979) 2 of those years were spent in the Antarctic. I did a few back a forths, but spent most of those 7 years in Latin America or Antarctica.
Traveling, I grew bored hanging out at the usual Gringo-tenango party's along the Gringo Trial, so did a few different things to keep up interest.
In Guatemala, (lived for about 2 years) I sponsored businesses and provided seed money to indigenous kids selling Soda and candy on the street. Also imported tons of arteseneo goods. You have to start somewhere! It worked!
My landlord was a Senator. The Senator was one of only two indigenous people in the Guatemalan Congresso ... in a country that is 85% Indigenous! He was killed during the 80's by para military death squads under Pres. Rios Mont.
In El Salvador I volunteered teaching English. Local teacher had terrible English pronunciation ... so worked mostly on that. I saw the coming US sponsored war ... but could not say a word. Sure enough, their dirty war started and thousands were murdered ... all with US sponsorship.
Skipping ahead years, made contacts in Argentina, snagged a job at USARP working in Antarctica. That job led to 3 more back and forth trips to S. America and earning some serious money. (for me) 19 months in Antarctic.
Keeping busy and having work really helps make travel more rewarding. Riding a bike all day, everyday ... and doing nothing but taking pics ... believe it or not, gets boring.
John has illustrated "The Way" perfectly ... using his many skills to help out and earn a few bucks along the way. Balancing his time between work and bumming around ... and in doing so, so artfully, has become the very best ambassador in the world for our country. In the case of the USA, ... we really need help in that regard.

Only 1 in 3 Britons wants to stay in EU—poll
More News from Agence France-Presse
LONDON—Only one in three Britons would vote to stay in the European Union in a referendum promised by Prime Minister David Cameron, according to a poll published in the Financial Times on Monday.
Fifty percent of Britons would vote to leave the bloc, 33 percent would vote to stay in and 17 percent would not vote, the survey by Harris Interactive for the newspaper found.
Cameron said in a speech on Jan. 23 that he wants to renegotiate Britain's relationship with the EU and then put the new terms to the British public in an in-out referendum by the end of 2017.
Of those Britons who said they would vote to leave the EU, 12 percent said they would definitely change their minds if there was a successful renegotiation while 47 percent said they possibly would, but 41 percent said it would make no difference.
Forty-five percent of voters said Britain still benefits from its EU membership, against 34 percent who said it did not.
Just 31 percent said Britain's economy would be weaker outside the EU while 33 percent said it would be stronger and 37 percent said it would be the same.
Harris Interactive polled 2,114 British adults between Jan. 29 and Feb. 6.
Polls in Britain have shown a growing opposition to EU membership in recent months.
