APALA Releases Asian-Pacific American Library Leaders Roster For 35th Anniversary The Asian/Pacific
American Librarians Association (APALA) assembled a roster of Asian Pacific American Library Leaders and will be posting it on their website: http://www.apalaweb.org/ to commemorate APALA's 35th Anniversary. A 35th Anniversary Symposium will be held at the University of San Francisco on June 25, 2015. The Asian Pacific American Library Leaders roster will also be distributed at the Symposium, but is also available to you right now (attached).
The roster showcases "Asian Pacific American (APA) Library Leaders – Current & Retired" in the U.S. as of May 2015. Several librarians listed in the roster served as Presidents of APALA and CALA, the Chinese American Librarians Association. The second section in the roster, "APA Library Leaders – Future Voices" includes the "newer" librarians who have already been recognized for their leadership skills and potential.
"APALA defines library leaders as APA librarians who have attained distinguished positions and roles as deans/directors of academic (university and community college) and public libraries, as well as state librarians and library school deans; American Library Association (ALA) Executive Board members, Division Presidents, Office Directors and Award recipients; and achieved other noteworthy professional accomplishments," said Eileen Kuan-Veng Bosch, APALA President. "Our 'Future Voices' are the best and the brightest APA librarians who are guiding and leading the important conversations about the rapidly-evolving transformation of our profession."
APALA was founded in 1980 and affiliated with the ALA in 1983. APALA's mission is to provide a forum for discussing concerns, successes and challenges of, and exchanging ideas by, APA librarians; to support and encourage library and information services to APA communities; to recruit and support APA librarians in the LIS professions and to seek funding for scholarships; and to assist, support and cooperate with the Ethnic Librarian Associations and allied organizations on initiatives, programs, resolutions, statements and strategic goals with the mission of diversity.

APALA co-sponsored film in Now Showing @ ALAby Ngoc-Yen Tran on Wed, Jun 17, 2015 at 01:42 pm
123 (N) Moscone Convention Center
Memory of Forgotten War
MEMORY OF FORGOTTEN WAR conveys the human costs of military conflict through deeply personal accounts of the Korean War (1950-53) by four Korean-American survivors. Their stories take audiences through the trajectory of the war, from extensive bombing campaigns, to day-to-day struggle for survival and separation from family members across the DMZ. Decades later, each person reunites with relatives in North Korea, conveying beyond words the meaning of family loss. These stories belie the notion that war ends when the guns are silenced and foreshadow the future of countless others displaced by ongoing military conflict today.
The film's personal accounts are interwoven with thoughtful analysis and interpretation of events by historians Bruce Cumings and Ji-Yeon Yuh who situate these stories in a broader historical context. Additional visual materials, including newsreels, U.S. military footage, and archival photographs bring to life the political, social and historical forces that set in motion the tumultuous events of the War and its aftermath.

Spotlight on Asian international adoption and award-winning filmmaker featured in APALA President's Program: Deann Borshay Liemby Ngoc-Yen Tran on Wed, Jun 17, 2015 at 01:18 pm
236-238 (S) Moscone Convention Center
First Person Plural
In 1966, Deann Borshay Liem was adopted by an American family and was sent from Korea to her new home. Growing up in California, the memory of her birth family was nearly obliterated until recurring dreams lead Deann to discover the truth: her Korean mother was very much alive. Bravely uniting her biological and adoptive families, Deann's heartfelt journey makes First Person Plural a poignant essay on family, loss, and the reconciling of two identities
In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee
Her passport said she was Cha Jung Hee. She knew she was not. So began a 40-year deception for a Korean adoptee who came to the US in 1966. Told to keep her true identity a secret from her new American family, this eight-year-old girl quickly forgot she was ever anyone else. But why had her identity been switched? And who was the real Cha Jung Hee? IN THE MATTER OF CHA JUNG HEE is the search to find the answers. It follows acclaimed filmmaker Deann Borshay Liem as she returns to her native Korea to find her "double," the mysterious girl whose place she took in America. Traversing the landscapes of memory, amnesia and identity, while also uncovering layers of deception in her adoption, this moving and provocative film probes the ethics of international adoptions and reveals the cost of living a lie. Part mystery, part personal odyssey, it raises fundamental questions about who we are…and who we could be but for the hands of fate.

I'd like to know if there is a tool that can be placed on a user's computer and given a url, can diagnose if and where a block is situated in accessing a web page (with a specified port). Sort of a suped-up Traceroute/Telnet hybrid.
The context: Heavily protected (all ports blocked by default, VPN, etc) intranet with an installation of Apache. A DNS which does resolve the url succesfully, but Apache logs no access attempts. There is another web service installed on another port (800), and it is opened and working. The server can reach itself with the URL, but users on other machines can't. Telnetting from user machine to server times out.
With a tool like this I could say if the blockage to port 80 is caused by:
- Some browser plugin or site blocker
- Firewall
- Proxy
- etc.

Welcome to my workshop in the magnificent Brecon Beacons in Wales, where I design and make furniture to commission.
Each piece is carefully handmade using traditional joinery and cabinet making skills. I work with local hardwood where possible, and use hand tools as well as modern equipment to create contemporary furniture that will last a lifetime.
I welcome commissions of all shapes, sizes and budgets- from a simple oak chopping board to a bespoke, fitted kitchen. Contact me to discover how your ideas can be crafted into original, beautiful pieces of bespoke furniture. I deliver and install nationwide- recently in London, the South East and Mid-Wales. I also ship overseas.
When I'm not in the workshop, I'm recording Daniel Tomlinson's Out The Workshop. This is a weekly podcast where I visit fellow craftspeople and artists in their workshops. We attempt to get to the heart of what it is to be a creative practitioner.

A farewell to arms
Ernest Hemingway
A farewell to arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse. Set against the looming horrors of the battlefield, weary, demoralised men marching in the rain during the German attack on Caporetto; the profound struggle between loyalty and desertion. This gripping, semi-autobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its inevitable sweep.
Ernest Hemingway famously said that he rewrote the ending to A farewell to arms 39 times to get the words right. This edition collects all of the alternative endings (47 in total) together for the first time, along with early drafts of other essential passages, offering new insight into Hemingway's craft and creative process and the evolution of one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century. Featuring the Nobel Prize winner's own 1948 introduction to an illustrated reissue of the novel, a personal foreword by the author's son Patrick Hemingway, and a new introduction by the author's grandson Seán Hemingway.
Soft cover, 328 pages.

- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Tools
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: May 30, 2008
- Channel: Auction House
This is an early 182 lb M & H Armitage Mouse Hole Blacksmith Anvil that comes with Custom Stand. The side of the anvil is stamped M & H Armitage Mouse Hole with English hundred weight system: 1 . 2 . 14. The weight system indicates this anvil weighs 182 lbs. The stamping dates manufacturing of this anvil between 1820-1835. This is a pre-civil war anvil that is perfect for civil war era reenactments. The Mouse Hole Anvil Works was located in Sheffield England along the Rivelin River which powered t helves hammers to make anvils. This anvil is also accompanied by a heavy steel custom anvil stand that has hammer holders and a tong rack. The stand is a bit tall, though buyer could shorten legs. The anvil face is 32 7/8" with stand from floor. This is a wrought iron bodied anvil with a steel face plate. The anvil has a nice rebound and typical ring found in mouse hole anvils. The edges and horn have been lightly and properly dressed. The edges are nice and free from chipping. The horn points up as it should. The horn, table and face show typical use dings and marks from the 170 plus years of use. Overall a great Anvil that would make anyones day. Anvil does not show any repairs. The front center of the foot is stamped IN. The anvil has the three porter bar turning holes. This has a thick waste that is 7 1/8" long, so if you want to bang out some big metal you won't get that spring affect as found on narrow wasted American anvils.The particulars: 24 1/2" long, 4 1/2" x 14 3/4" face, 10 3/8" tall, 10 3/8" x 12 1/4" base, 7 1/4" long waste, 1" hardie hole and 9/16" pritchel hole. Shipping or Pick Up Details : Ships to USA 48 connected states ONLY. No Canada shipping. If you are close buy you can make arrangements to pick up anvil and stand. Anvil is located in Olean NY 14760. This is a freight item to heavy for UPS: I can calculate Conway freight shipping cost from the terminal to a terminal in your area if t is one. I will need your city and zip. If you don't provide both I can't figure cost. It will be actual cost. However...the freight rates have risen tremendously including fuel surcharges. Todays fuel surcharge is 35.8% that the freight company adds onto the shipping cost. No such thing as cheap truck freight anymore. I don't build half the freight cost into the reserve price to make it look like you are getting a cheap rate. I have a very low reserve price and charge actual cost. If you can't pick up or live with the shipping terms and cost then please don't bid. Please don't wait to the last few hours of auction for a quote. Please give me time to read email, calculate and get back to you. Thank You. Happy Bidding!! :) NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS. Buyer pays shipping and insurance.

A new and resplendent collection by Linda Gregg, whose poems "have the elegance of Greek statuary and the good-humored poise of haiku" (Poetry)
I finally fell in love with all of it:
dirt, silence, rock and far views.
It's strange that my heart is as full
now as my desire was then.
--from "Arriving Again and Again Without Noticing"
In one poem in this emotional and spiritual collection, Linda Gregg asks, "It is clear why love / took me to the shore of death, / but why did it bring me back?"In the Middle Distance, Gregg's sixth book, explores up to and beyond the crossroads of devastation and desire. There, she finds not only survival but also
salvation--hard-won, resilient, and meaningful.
This collection brings Gregg's passion and intensity together with a new wisdom and vitality that is unmistakably original.

Real feedback from Chrome customers to help you choose the perfect gear.
cool looking, functional, but could be a little longer
i fit: 1 tube, pdw co2 inflator, c02 cartridge, tire lever, and crank bros multitool. all the stuff just fits and just rolls up. i feel like if the roll was a little wider i'd throw another star on it. this basically goes in whatever bag i'm riding with and to my cross races. has saved my buddy who had a tube fail on a practice lap.
I love my new saddle bag.
I love my new saddle bag! So many of them in my opinion aren't appealing. Not only does the small tool roll look sharp but it carries all the stuff I need.
Inside I carry:
Co2 Inflater
2 16gram Co2 cartridges
Relatively large multi tool
Patch kit
Tire boot
Tire levers
and a spare tube.

[edit] Background
Scribblenauts Unmasked - A DC Comics Adventure melds the creativity of the award-winning video game franchise with thousands of DC Comics characters and objects across DC Comics worlds -- all drawn in the classic Scribblenauts art style.
Scribblenauts Unmasked features a story where players embark as protagonist Maxwell on an imaginative and comical quest, taking them through Gotham City, Metropolis, Atlantis and other iconic locales from the DC Comics universe. In the game, Maxwell comes to the aid of Batman, Superman and the rest of The Justice League as they face the mightiest DC Comics Super Villains, such as The Joker, Lex Luthor and Sinestro. Fueled by the player's imagination, Maxwell must use his magic notebook to put a stop to the villains' evil schemes and save the day!
[edit] Game Play
Expanding on the video game franchise's innovation, Scribblenauts Unmasked features for the first time dynamically created puzzles called Heroic Feats that increase the game's replayability by continuously generating original scenarios requiring different solutions with each visit.
A new Super Hero Creator tool available on Wii U and PC elevates the game's creativity by giving players the ability to produce their own Super Hero or Super Villain using any item from the DC Comics universe and then setting properties for how it behaves, changing its appearance and powers. Players can then share their creations with the community and download others.

Bloomberg Opponents Take a Page Out of the Corzine Playbook
But is Bloomberg ugly enough for it to work?
A local Communications Workers of America union will begin running $500,000 worth of television ads tomorrow in support of Bill Thompson. In an homage to Jon Corzine's infamous and seemingly influential ad highlighting his opponent's weight, the underlying theme of its first anti-Bloomberg spot is that ... the mayor is ugly. In the ad, a narrator criticizes the mayor on various issues as photos of Hizzoner's face at particularly awkward and unattractive moments flash across the screen, until finally, it all comes together: "Even with hundreds of millions in campaign spending, they can't hide the ugly side of Michael Bloomberg." Can Bloomberg's alleged ugliness become the same type of game-changer that Chris Christie's fatness has been? He may be a little testudinal, but to us, ugly seems like a stretch.

Welcome to SmokyStreams.com
Site Makeover in Progress
In 2009 Saint Clair Mapping, dba SmokyStreams.com, began designing and publishing large scale stream maps of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Our maps now include portions of the Tennessee River Valley and Cherokee, Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests. Our stream maps are enhancements of US Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 Minute-Series topographic quadrangles maps in much of the Southern Appalachian Mountains region. These "quads" were first produced as far back as the 1940s and therefore reveal historical markers including cemeteries, old railroad grades, structures and more. Our enhancements include highlighting access roads and trails and adding shaded relief to the topos, trail distances, backcountry campsites, waterfalls, public facilities and stream crossings.

As the Europe 2020 Strategy 4 makes clear, Europe's future wealth and the wellbeing of its citizens depend
on how effectively its businesses innovate in the face of major challenges. It has therefore targeted
strategy on three complementary themes: smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. To achieve its goals,
it has launched a series of seven fl agship initiatives 5.
The Expert Panel's task has been to identify how services and innovation in services can help to deliver the Strategy. In doing so, it builds on earlier work and relevant studies, such as the Commission Communication
"Towards a Single Market Act", which estimated that implementing the Services Directive would generate
between €60-140 billion, or 0.6-1.5% of European GDP 6. It also points to the fundamental changes
taking place in the nature of innovation: no longer viewed as purely technological, but rather how fi rms
exploit new technologies, not only to develop new products and services, but also new channels to market,
new business processes, new organisational structures and new business models. As a result, markets
are evolving, new strategic partnerships developing and old-fashioned concepts, such as the distinction
between the manufacturing and service sectors, are being blurred, if not overturned.
The process of change presents both an opportunity as well as a challenge. European fi rms are already
succeeding in many new global markets and European service fi rms are helping to transform businesses
across the economy. Indeed, many European fi rms lead the world in their ability to integrate high-value
manufacturing with design and marketing services to create many of the world's most iconic, customer
focused luxury brands. We need to build on that success.
In relation to smart growth the report describes how the ability of technology to capture, store, manipulate,
and communicate increasing quantities of information to fi xed or mobile network devices is transforming
the way European citizens work and live. This smart infrastructure now increasingly underpins the
economic activity of all fi rms, with the result that innovations in the services that deliver and exploit it have
the potential to transform large parts of the economy.
In relation to sustainable growth, new services increasingly enable a shift towards more intelligent use
and reuse of resources. As the price of raw materials rises, regional water stress increases, and a global
middle class emerges, the world market for sustainable environmental services will expand substantially.
The Expert Panel considers that the demanding European regulatory environment and public concern
about sustainability will give European fi rms a fi rst mover advantage that will enable them to capture
signifi cant global market shares in high-value markets, such as intelligent transport systems, and environmental
impact management.
The shift from product to service systems innovation will infl uen

A Special Edition that is TRULY Special,
This review is from: The Nightmare Before Christmas (Special Edition) (DVD)
If you think the best movies are the ones that show you a world you've never envisioned before, then you will LOVE Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas". A benchmark in stop-motion animation, this incredibly difficult-to-make film (24 individually posed frames were needed to produce ONE SECONDS's worth of action) is a masterpiece of art direction, set design, and good old-fashioned storytelling. The plot revolves around Jack, the Pumpkin King of Halloween, and his attempt to run Christmas in place of Santa Claus. "Sleigh" becomes confused with "slay"; "stockings" become "stalkings"; and spirits go from joyous to ghostly as the two holidays clash together like oil and water, or fire and ice. One of the great surprises of the movie is that although it dances around material that could easily careen into cynicism, it remains refreshingly sweet and light throughout. Which is not to say that some of the comedy isn't a little dark and perhaps geared more towards older children and adults; for example, the brief scene in which a python puppet is shown swallowing a Christmas tree whole is hysterically funny, but not especially appropriate for the very young.
The special edition DVD is unquestionably the version of this classic to buy. Included are a wealth of extras: the teaser and theatrical trailers; a documentary on "The Making of ..."; deleted scenes and storyboards, etc, etc. The best bonuses are two short films by Burton: "Vincent", a poetic tribute to the magnificent Vincent Price, narrated by the subject himself; and "Frankenweenie", a canine send-up of "Frankenstein", starring Shelley Duvall, Daniel Stern, and a cast of talented character actors. This DVD is one that you can spend HOURS exploring happily! Highly recommended as both a Halloween and Christmas treat.

Actually they needed 12 individually posed frames, and they filmed each of them twice to complete 24 frames (I know it is still a huge work). Regards

Interesting how your mention of "Frankenweenie" in 2001 eventually became a movie in 2012.

Chewsy , a food-review app developed by off-duty Microsoft workers, has acquired users in 25 countries and won coverage from The New York Times .
Chewsy, a food-review app developed by off-duty Microsoft workers, has acquired users in 25 countries and won coverage from The New York Times. But the app still hasn't connected its inventors with the city's best Buffalo wings, the grail which inspired the start-up.
Chaitanya Sareen and his pals realized their wing search could be simplified by an app that allowed users to rate specific dishes instead of restaurants. They didn't care whether an eatery had decent bathrooms or ample parking, so long as it served crisp-skinned wings.
"That's what people get wrong," says Sareen, who now serves as Chewsy's CEO. "They slobber it in sauce and it's got that soft, soaked feel to it."
The free app, which debuted 10 months ago, steers diners toward praiseworthy dishes that may or may not emerge from critically acclaimed kitchens. Within a half-mile of the Weekly offices, Chewsy recommends seeking out a summer corn soup at BOKA Kitchen and Bar; the tuna sandwich at Mel's Market; and king crab legs at Elliott's Oyster House. Sareen says the app solves the problem posed by restaurateurs' typical reluctance to promote specific dishes.
"Restaurants have advertisements, but they never advertise their products," he says. "It's very rare they say 'These are the dishes you have to try."
But when customers take to online restaurant-review sites to gripe about disappointing dishes, restaurant owners often wish they'd bothered to point out a few standouts. "Then there's regret," Sareen says.
Chewsy's designed to serve discerning eaters who end up in restaurants they didn't select, and culinary adventurers willing to brave sketchy surroundings for an incredible dish. But thus far, it hasn't turned up the right plate of wings.
"I can tell you where to get great Italian, but with wings, nothing has knocked my socks off," says Sareen, a Queens native who's lived in Seattle for 11 years. "The search for a perfect wing continues."
Sareen hopes the search might end next month in Alki. He's picked up a tip about a wing maven named "Sweet Lou" who makes wings at Alki Tavern--but only on the first Monday of each month.
"It's kind of shrouded in mystery," Sareen admits. "But this guy swears they're crispy and spicy and everything you'd want in a wing."

'Joe the Plumber' Appalled
Gasp! 'Joe the Plumber' told Glenn Beck he was 'appalled' at some of the things he heard come out of McCain's mouth while the two travelled together for a short period during the campaign. Specifically, 'Joe' was unhappy about McCain's opinion on the bailout, which shouldn't exactly have been news to him. I mean, the Maverick ran as a Republican, but he wasn't exactly a card-carrying conservative.
He did, however, think Sarah Palin was 'the real deal.' Whew. Aren't you relieved?
I guess if anyone can smell out the sometimes-appalling opinions of a politican it's a plumber, but then, 'Joe' wasn't appalled at the offer to sign a deal with a small publishing company in Texas (which he did).
It's America, anyone can have opinions. I'm the first to admit I liked the way 'Joe' was able to dissect some of Obama's ideas in a way the McCain camp had failed to by that point in the race. ('Redistribute the wealth' has never been heard so many times in a span of a few days.) And sure, he can be appalled at some of McCain's ideas, but it seems disingenuous for 'Joe' to go from just bein' a simple plumber looking to expand his company, to a knowledgable source on the bailout wondering why one of the more liberal GOP Presidential candidates in recent years wasn't more conservative, to signing a book deal to write "Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream."
But then, maybe, more power to him?!
It is, after all, America.

Associated Press News Release
ATLANTA (AP) -- A Georgia Supreme Court ruling reinforces inmates' rights to access prison libraries and legal assistance.
In an opinion released Monday, the high court says a trial court erred when it barred an inmate from filing a petition to force prison officials to give him access to a law library.
Waseem Daker was convicted in 2012 of stabbing and strangling a woman and stabbing her 5-year-old son. He was sentenced to nearly 50 years in jail.
He has requested a new trial and said he plans additional legal action. He complained to prison officials about his lack of access to legal materials.
The trial judge said his petition was frivolous and wouldn't allow it to be filed. The high court says the trial court must allow the petition to be filed.

Vt. Senate resumes debate of aid-in-dying proposalThe Associated Press | May 08,2013MONTPELIER — The Vermont Senate is poised to resume debate of a proposal that would allow doctors to prescribe lethal medication to terminally ill patients who request it.
After nearly three hours of debate late Tuesday, Lt. Gov. Phil Scott broke a 15-15 tie, rejecting a version of Oregon's death-with-dignity law.
The tie, and Scott's tie-breaking vote, mirrored the Senate's February action, when the chamber passed a version that relieved health professionals and family members of any civil or criminal liability when terminally ill patients used prescribed medications to end their own lives.
The version passed by the House contained a number of details that are not in the Senate proposal.MORE IN This Just InROCKINGHAM Wildlife will be celebrated at the 17th annual Herricks Cove Wildlife Festival...

Maui Lea at Maui Hill
Kihei, Hawaii
Maui Lea at Maui Hill
Kihei, Hawaii
Located on the Gold Coast of Maui, Maui Lea at Maui Hill (managed by Aston) provides clean, spacious, and well maintained timeshare condominiums. The resort offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom timeshare accommodations complete with a fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, wet bar, queen sleeper sofa in living area, and private, furnished lanai. One-bedroom units sleep four with a queen bed in the bedroom. Two-bedroom units sleep six with a queen bed in each bedroom. Three-bedroom units sleep eight with a king bed in the master bedroom, and a queen bed in each of the guests rooms.
Guests of the Maui Lea at Maui Hill are invited to explore the resort's 12 acres of lush tropical landscape, or take a dip in the large outdoor pool and hot tub. If you want to get in a little golf but not pay greens fees, take advantage of Maui Lea's on-site putting green. The resort also employs an activity director to assist you in making reservations with any of the local adventure companies.
If you want a truly unique Maui experience, see the island up close and personal on the back of a horse. All Maui Tours will take you on an unforgettable journey, led by real Paniolos (Hawaiian Cowboys). Canter up green pastures to the edge of a lush tropical valley, and discover some of the island's largest waterfalls.
Resort also known as: Aston Maui Hill
Maui Hill's staff is wonderful. Resort is clean and updated! New updated bathrooms & updated kitchen several years ago. This year new furniture and new carpeting. On a hill but can walk to beach. Usually unit has beach chairs & boogie boards. Washer & dryer in unit is a bonus. We return every year to this resort because of location in South Kihei. All this and a heated pool! Views of ocean and also Haleakala!!
Aloha! We have been coming to Maui Lea at Maui Hill for about 10 years from Oregon, usually in mid-March for two weeks of vacation and to view the whales. It is a prestigious Aston Resort hotel and timeshare resort facility located at the dry south end of Maui in Kihei, just before Wailea.
Situated on "Maui Hill" across the street from the ocean it offers magnificent ocean views, quiet and spacious 1 bdrm, 2 bdrm, and 3 bdrm units all with at least 2 bathrooms, and additional sofa beds in the living rooms. Each suite has at least one to two lanais, air conditioning, complete kitchen with microwave, high-speed internet, cable TV, and in-unit washer and dryer. Timeshare units are cleaned mid-week with towel changes, and bed linens are changed every 7 days.
Easy walk across the street to 3 popular beaches with safe swimming and boat ramp. Recreational amenities include large pool, spa, putting green, shuffle board, tennis court, and barbecues on park like setting. Welcome continental breakfast with Maui activity presentation. Weekly free pool cocktail party for guests with drawings for prizes, i.e., dinner cruises, snorkeling trips. etc. Golf, shopping, and excellent dining within 5-10 minutes.
Maui Hill is ideal for couples of all ages, families, reunions, for natural adventures or just relaxation. Friendliest staff of any resort that we've been to, known for their Aloha spirit. February and March are somewhat difficult to exchange into due to the popularity and location of the resort.
We stayed in a 1 bedroom 2 bathroom timeshare unit I rented on Redweek. The room was very dirty,stinky,and out of date. Beds are completely worn out,hard and uncomfortable. Linens where the poorest quality. At best a budget resort. Spend a little more and stay elsewhere.
This is in Kihei, the sunny side of the island. Great beaches and restaurants abound. The pool and grounds are clean, orderly, and peaceful. Very friendly and helpful staff. Our unit was comfortable and large.
Wonderful quiet area on the sunny side of Maui! Extra large units are well kept and clean. If you want rain and wind, go to Kaanapali or Lahina. If you want sun and quiet, come here. 5 stars!!
So convenient! Boat dock right across the street so we took our dive trips from there. Diving was incredible - must do the wall!! Staff was unbelievable. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Unit was very spacious. We had a one bedroom with pull out queen couch. Plenty of room for the three of us. Will definately go back. We could walk to dinner or shop. Lahaina was only 20 minutes away for more shopping and diving. Love to be able to find a unit for sale with an October week!!
Nice place. Clean, spacious, well kept condos. Nicely kept grounds.
Friendly, courteous, helpful staff.
Great Location! Just south of all the hustle and bustle of Kihei. Close to awesome beaches in Wailea. 15 minutes from airport.
Will definitely check Maui Hill availability when returning to Maui.
This is what you think of when going to a timeshare in Hawaii. Units are large, comfortably furnished. There is a sunken living room, dining area, wet bar adjacent to dining room and a full separate kitchen. Large master bedroomm suite and a good size 2nd bedroom with adjacent bath. An enjoyable experience and would stay here again anytime.
We own a week here and really love it. The management is excellent and keep the units and grounds in great condition. Reviews with the exchange companies and Trip Advisor are uniformly high. Everyone seems to enjoy this resort. It's in a great location near miles of great beaches.
This is a well-run timeshare resort consisting of approximately 50% full-time residents. The unit and grounds were clean, staff friendly, and kitchen was well-stocked enough to keep us busy -- bring your own spices, sauces, saran wrap and foil, though!
Beautiful resort with old world charm. Huge units, friendly staff. Units are more spread out than most resorts, which helps to make it feel more like home!
Have gone hear numerous times--its the perfect resort in our estimation.

not too shabby for playing peek-a-boo with the sun that day...many thanks for the kind, brotherman!!
This is quite lovely. The colors are so bright and contrasting. I love the flow of the water. What kind of technique do you use for these shots? Post-processing? The only critique I would make might be that the balance seems slightly off; I might have left a bit more green at the bottom of the photo and the right side. It looks like there's a tree that's in the way on the right side there, so I'm guessing that affected your shot.
thank you!!..i don't know that i'd say i have a 'technique' for my processing..i used photomatix to tone map my 3 images, took that into lightroom 3 and finished off with elements 6....and as for the balance, i composed this off center on purpose
Great shot, Doug! Well executed all around with the exposure, greens, and processing.
so beautiful doug!
beautiful country and image Doug.
Well done, Doug! I must return to Upper and Lower Kentucky...
thanks, greg!..it's one spot definately worthy of many visits
excellent exposure, composition...as usual, Doug..
amazing work
amazing work

While a festival buzzed with music and chirps and hoots of children across Sloan's Lake, fire and law enforcement crews were removing an unidentified body from the water on the south side.
People on their way to the Colorado Dragon Boat Races alerted police to the corpse floating in the West Denver lake just before 1 p.m.
"We don't know who he is yet," said Detective Sharon Avendaño, a spokeswoman for the Denver Police Department. "We don't know if he lives in the area. We don't know if he's a transient - we just don't have any idea at this point.
"By tomorrow, hopefully the coroner can give us some ID and we'll go from there."
The body had no effect on the boat races and activities related to the festival, a spokeswoman said.
"A few of us knew it was going on, but for the most part it was over there on the other side and no one really noticed," said Kelly Nelson.
Avendaño said she did not know how long the body had been in the water, but given the thousands of people at the lake for the festival on Saturday, she said it probably wasn't long.
"There's so many people out there; if he'd been there for very long, I would have to think someone would have seen him."
A group of teen-aged boys played basketball in the park three blocks east of where the body was found.
"I saw the cops and firemen," said Sperry Mock. "You couldn't see what they were doing, like they were trying to make sure nobody saw.
Jeff Hersch, another of the neighborhood teens, said the man was found in an area where homeless men sometimes camp.
"I will be very surprised if it wasn't a homeless guy," he said.

SDG&E Installing New Smart Grid Technologies To Create "Self-Healing" Electric Grid For San Diego
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) is installing several smart grid technologies on the electric grid in the San Diego region that are creating a more resilient and responsive energy network for local residents. These technologies include wireless sensors that automatically detect outages and other problems on the electric grid, and devices that smoothly integrate environmentally beneficial renewable energy. With the installation of these technologies, SDG&E is creating a more automated electric grid that promotes greater awareness of system conditions and can quickly respond to changes and events. In many cases, this grid will even be able to use this information to "heal" itself remotely or sense problems before they occur. " San Diego's electric grid is becoming one of the most advanced and reliable energy systems in the nation," said David Geier, vice president of electric operations for SDG&E. "The grid can respond immediately to outages and is increasingly resilient to events, while being more sustainable overall through the integration of clean energy. We are proud to be implementing these innovative smart grid technologies for the benefit of San Diego residents."By using an efficient broad-based wireless network provided by a local San Diego company called On-Ramp Wireless, the fault detectors described above immediately send alarms to grid operators if a problem occurs anywhere along the power lines. Instead of the time-consuming process of dispatching crews in the field to look for faults on electric wires during an outage, SDG&E will know where the outage occurred on the electric line and can quickly send crews to that location based on the automatic wireless signals sent by these devices. SDG&E has installed 2,000 of these devices throughout the region and intends to install 10,000 by 2017. In addition to enhancing reliability and reducing outage times through these wireless sensors, the automation of the electric grid will also provide numerous environmental benefits by efficiently integrating clean renewable energy onto the system. These new cleaner forms of renewable energy – wind and solar – pose some challenges to utilities because they are intermittent by nature. If a cloud moves in front of the sun or the wind stops blowing, the power output of these sources can become unavailable suddenly and indefinitely. The smart grid is designed to counter the highly intermittent nature of renewable energy sources through new technology that senses and accounts for any variability in near real time.

PayPal Here Review
Need Help Choosing?
- Date Established
- 1998
- Location
- San Jose, CA
NOTE: PayPal Here is still not available for Canadian merchants, although a small pilot program did launch in Canada. We've received a lot of inquires about this, and will post an update if we ever hear about any changes from PayPal.
If you've used eBay, chances are you've used PayPal. And if you haven't used eBay, you probably don't own a computer. (Or you shop on Amazon.)
Seriously though, PayPal has 173 million active accounts. It processed 4 billion payments in 2014. The company is massive, even if merchant payment processing only makes up one part of the overall business.
We already reviewed PayPal as a merchant service provider, so a lot of that information also pertains to its Paypal Here mobile processing service. It's worth noting that as of July 2015, Paypal is no longer part of the eBay, Inc. corporate family. We were hoping that after the split we'd see some new features coming to Paypal Here, but so far there have not been any significant changes. However, we like the service enough that we're still holding out hope.
PayPal Here (PPH), the payment giant's mobile processor, launched in 2012, after services like Square and PayAnywhere demonstrated that pay-as-you-go, standalone mobile payment processing accounts were in high demand. It fast became a major force to contend with, and with the brand recognition and quite a lot of money backing it, that's no surprise.
While you'll need a PayPal Business or Premier account to use PPH, the upgrade from a personal account comes free of charge and happens automatically as part of the sign-up process. After that, you just download the app and then, voilà — you can start processing. PayPal will mail you a free magstripe card reader, or you can pick one up at participating stores (including Staples) for $15, and PayPal will reimburse you for the purchase. It couldn't be any easier, and the whole thing comes with no strings attached. You won't have to return the card reader if you decide to cancel, nor will you have to pay any cancellation fees.
PayPal Here is sometimes touted as one of the best Square alternatives, and I'd definitely recommend PayPal Here over Square. Heck, I'd also recommend it over PayAnywhere. PPH has better features and comparable pricing. I love the almost-instantaneous funding to my PayPal account alongside the PayPal debit card for quick access to the cash. The magstripe card reader has a very usable, stable design, which is more than we can say about the boxy Square swiper, and their EMV card reader is capable of processing more payment methods than Square's.
A lot of people out there have had bad experience with PayPal, but it's a complicated situation because of how diverse PayPal's services are, and because of how much of PayPal's business comes from eBay, even after the companies have split.
That said, I honestly believe the company offers good quality service overall, and especially as a standalone mobile payment processor. I'm not sure I'd be ready to take the leap and have PayPal Here as my only way to accept payment, especially for higher-volume businesses — but then again, you don't have to. It costs you nothing to keep PPH as an option on top of a traditional merchant account.
For merchants who process low or sporadic volumes, it could save you a ton of money in fees (no statement fee, no monthly minimum, no PCI fee, no annual fee, no rate increases…). You do the math. If you work in a high-risk industry, though, we strongly recommend you look elsewhere. We found Flint Mobile to be a more reliable mobile processor overall, but the best fit for your business will depend in part on the features you need.
I'm completely comfortable giving PayPal Here 4 stars for now, and I hope it continues to improve.
Check out the full review for more information, and please leave a comment with your thoughts or experiences!
Products and Services:
PayPal Here offers all of the basic features you'd expect, plus some nice surprises. What's probably most convenient about PPH is how easily it integrates with the rest of PayPal's features. Whether you sell online, in a store, on the go, or a combination thereof, PayPal has a solution that works — and loads of partnerships to boot.
As far as PPH is concerned, here's the feature rundown:
- Mobile credit and debit processing: Accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express cards.
- Free mobile app (that's easy to use): Available for Android, iOS, and even Windows 8.1 devices (more on that later).
- Free audio jack swiper: Need your card swiper right away? Buy one at a local store for $15 and PayPal will reimburse you. Otherwise, if you can wait, they'll mail you one for free.
- Chip card/contactless reader: Accept chip-and-PIN, NFC and magstripes with Paypal's bluetooth chip card reader. It will cost you $149, but if you process more than $3,000 within 3 months after activation, Paypal will reimburse you $100.
- Manage multiple users under one account: If you have a team of users, you can create secondary accounts and assign permissions.
- Mobile POS: Set up a tablet with PayPal Here and integrate one of PayPal's partner solutions to set up a complete POS system suited to retail and restaurant environments, among others.
- Same-day funding: Funds go to your PayPal account almost immediately. Sign up for a PayPal merchant debit card and get access to the cash right away even when you're not spending it online. As a bonus, it'll make your bookkeeping easier if you only use it for business expenses.
- Cash and check recording: Manage all of your payments in one place with the ability to log cash and check payments. There's even a QuickBooks integration.
- Card info capture by camera: This is not an easy feature to find, but if keying in a number is frustrating to you, PPH does have a feature where you can scan the card number using your device's camera. To access it, you'll have to disconnect the reader. If you select the "Card Number" option after hitting charge, you arrive at a screen where you can either manually enter the card information or hit the camera icon, which will take you to the scanner.
- Invoicing: This comes as part of the broader PayPal business account, but you can in fact send invoices to customers. The invoice itself is free to send, but when you get paid, Paypal takes out 2.9% plus $0.30 — or less, if you have a volume discount. You can create invoices directly within the PayPal Here app.
What's New:
On the off chance you've forgotten, EMV rolled around on October 1, 2015. Paypal's new reader is capable of supporting chip-and-PIN and contactless payments, as well as magstripes (so you don't have to juggle multiple readers). It costs $149, but if you process $3,000 within 3 months, they'll give you a $100 rebate. If you can get the rebate, that's a better deal than Square's $49 contactless option, since Paypal's is capable of accepting PINs and magstripes. Many payment processors are struggling to get their EMV compliant hardware on the market, so it's nice to see that Paypal is ready.
Otherwise, I'm a bit disappointed to see that PPH hasn't really added more features than it's added since our last check-in. But something new I am excited about is support for Windows. Not many processors design apps that work with Windows mobile devices, but in January of 2015, PayPal announced that the app would be available for the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and other Windows 8.1 devices. And unlike PPH in Canada, you can actually find the app in the Windows App Store.
What's Missing:
Since our last check-in, PPH has dropped one feature: its check deposit feature. Around mid 2014, PayPal quietly eliminated the ability to take a photo of a check, cash it, and deposit those funds in your PayPal account. It's an odd move considering that more and more mobile banking apps are incorporating it — but maybe it was underused.
Flint, a top contender for mobile processing, also uses your device's camera to capture card information. There's no swiper required. If that's a feature you like, we highly suggest checking out Flint — it earned a 5-star rating. It also has a recording feature for cash and check transactions — and debit card processing rates are just 1.95% (credit is 2.95%).
Something I would very much like to see, that Square has already implemented, is an offline mode. Sometimes, try as you might, an Internet signal is just not available. In those cases, PPH is useless for processing cards, but Square will actually let you swipe cards and then store that information for up to 72 hours. Yes, there are some liability issues, but it's a very good feature — and a much better alternative to a manual credit card machine when you don't have Internet.
Compatible Hardware:
At this point, there's a substantial number of devices supporting PayPal Here, which is a major advantage. Your device is going to need a 3.5 mm headphone jack, if you're using the magstripe swiper, or bluetooth enabled if you're using the chip card reader. You'll also need internet support (cellular or Wi-Fi), and location services enabled. Here's what you need to know about compatibility:
iOS: PPH supports iPhone 3GS and newer, as well as all iPads and iPad Minis. All devices must be running iOS 7.0 or later, as well.
Android: Smartphones and tablets must be running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Tablet support is new since our last check-in, but includes Samsung Galaxy Tab models and the Galaxy Nexus 10.
Windows: Smartphones and tablets must be running Windows 8.1. Support for Windows is slightly less widespread, as you might imagine, but here are some of the supported devices:
- Surface Pro 3, 2, and RT
- HP Elitepad 1000
- Asus Vivotab Note 8
- Dell Venue Pro 8
- Nokia Lumia 1520
- Nokia Lumia 830
- Nokia Lumia 635
- Nokia Lumia 630
- Nokia Lumia 520
- BLU Win HD
Fees and Rates:
PayPal does a spectacularly great job at disclosing its fees and rates. Apart from the transactions themselves, you pay nothing — unless there's a chargeback. Now, if you need more features (such as a full e-commerce setup to go with your mobile reader), you might want to look at PayPal Payments Pro — that'll run you $30 a month.
If you're just using PPH, though, this is what you can expect to pay:
- Swiped Transactions: 2.7%
- Keyed-In or Scanned Transactions: 3.5% + $0.15
- PayPal Transactions: 2.7%
- Cross-Border Transactions, Swiped and PayPal: 3.7%
- Cross-Border Transactions, Keyed In or Scanned: 4.5% + $0.15
You won't see any:
- Monthly/annual fees
- PCI compliance fees
- Set up fees
- Equipment fees
…or any other fees not mentioned above. There really are no hidden fees with PayPal or its mobile solution. The only thing you should be aware of — that isn't readily disclosed — is the $20 chargeback fee. That's pretty standard in the industry because dealing with chargebacks is a headache for any payment processor.
Since our last check-in, PayPal has also amended its processing limits for keyed-in or scanned payments. Before, $2,500 or more in keyed transactions during a rolling 7-day period would trigger a PayPal hold for 30 days. The wording is considerably more vague in the user agreement from October 1, 2015:
- Actions We May Take. PayPal, in its sole discretion, may take various reasonable actions we determine are necessary when we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your Account, or any or all of your transactions. Such reasonable actions may include placing a hold or reserve on funds in your Account, requesting additional collateral from you such as a letter of credit or a personal guaranty, or limiting transactions to those made within the country of your account. PayPal may contact your customers on your behalf in the event PayPal is investigating potential fraud. More information about the actions we may take and your liability can be found under Section 10 of [Paypal's] User Agreement.
Conceivably, there's still a limit to keyed-in transactions you can handle before PayPal gets suspicious and puts a hold on your account. Unfortunately, we no longer know what that limit is.
For a comprehensive list of all PayPal fees, both for mobile processing at everything else, check out this useful page.
Contract Length and Early Termination Fee:
You are completely free to close your PayPal Here account at any time, or to simply cease using the PPH app for processing and keep your PayPal account. You won't find any early termination fees or stipulations in your merchant agreement. Considering the industry standard is a three-year agreement with a $300-$400 early termination fee, I'm pretty satisfied with PayPal in this category.
Check out the full PPH user agreement here. You should also read the standard PayPal user agreement here, since you'll have to agree to it in order to use their mobile service.
Sales and Advertising Transparency:
As we said in our main PayPal review, sales and advertising are incredibly upfront. All of PayPal's rates are listed in plain sight, so there's no hidden agenda. Most of its business comes directly through the website or via referrals. PayPal doesn't have the traditional sales team "pounding the pavement" and harassing potential customers just to make a sale. This is the way business should be done in my opinion. PayPal has managed to solve a problem so well it doesn't need to shove a product down your throat.
I couldn't ask for anything more from PayPal Here advertising, except maybe more overt disclosure of the chargeback fee.
Customer Service and Technical Support:
For PayPal Here, you'll be using PayPal's main support system. As we covered in our main PayPal merchant service review, PayPal has bunch of different customer service and support options including:
- Quick Answers
- Resource Center
- Community Forum
- Phone/Email: (Monday-Friday 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. PST, Saturday/Sunday 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. PST). Judging from the online chatter (see "Negative Reviews and Complaints"), PayPal's phone support is very inconsistent. My advice is to avoid calling if at all possible. Answers to most common problems can be found with just a little bit of searching. Between the community forum, quick answers section, and resource center, you should be able to find a solution.
PayPal is also very active on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. It even has an AskPaypal Twitter account where reps will field your service and support questions Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time.
The almost non-existent customer service offered by Square is one of the major complaints coming from merchants, so I'm thrilled to see PayPal doing better in the service department.
Negative Reviews and Complaints:
Unfortunately, PayPal doesn't have a separate BBB account for its PayPal Here processing, so we're stuck wading through the 5,172 complaints (down from 6,089) filed in the last three years on PayPal's main account. (It's got an A+ rating though, if that means anything to you).
That's an enormous number of complaints, no doubt about it. But when you actually start reading the complaints and PayPal's responses, you'll be impressed. PayPal responds to each concern in a very professional and complete manner, almost always giving refunds even when they don't have any obligation to. The other issue is that unlike traditional merchant account providers, PayPal is also a consumer-facing business, so a substantial number of complaints also come from users who have had issues with sellers, problems with their accounts and fraud, and any number of other concerns that end users face. The complaints against PayPal don't all come from merchants. And don't forget, PayPal and eBay do a massive amount of business together, and so that is also a source of complaints.
The one complaint that you should definitely take to heart is this:
- Withheld funds, freezing of accounts, and termination of accounts: PayPal seems to be pretty trigger happy when it comes to suspicion of fraud. It has a history of dealing with major fraud issues, so naturally they scrutinize accounts pretty closely. If you think that your business falls into the high-risk category, then you should know that it's possible PayPal may withhold some of your funds or even freeze or shut your account down. It may be best to go with a high-risk processor like Durango Merchant Services or Payline Data instead. You can also learn how to avoid holds, freezes, and terminations here.
Still, PayPal seems to do this less than Square does. I don't know how comfortable I'd be having any of these standalone mobile processors as my sole means to accept cards, since they all are prone to freezes and withheld funds because of a greater risk of fraud.
Another concern:
- Inconsistent customer service: Much like Square, PayPal's customer support is designed to efficiently solve 95% of problems with minimal human interaction. When a service works with such a huge base of users, this is necessary in order to keep prices low across the board. But unfortunately that remaining 5% often represent the most pressing problems, including account-specific issues like fraud, chargebacks, funding holds, account suspensions, billing errors, and so on. When it comes dealing with these problems, merchants need to speak with a well-trained and articulate support representative. Unfortunately, judging by complaints, much of the time this doesn't seem to happen.
But again, Square doesn't offer any phone-based support. So if you are comparing the two, PayPal definitely comes out on top.
Positive Reviews and Testimonials:
You can find a demo video that explains how PPH works on YouTube. It covers the basics, but doesn't include any testimonials.
For those, you'll have to look at the PayPal for Business YouTube channel, which you can find here. News outlets have also praised PayPal Here, including David Pogue's NY Times tech blog.
From what I read, users find these features the most useful:
- Quick funding and access to cash with PayPal debit card
- Well-designed card reader
- Ability to accept payments through PayPal accounts
- No hidden fees
Final Verdict:
I recommend PayPal Here to anyone interested in standalone, pay-as-you-go mobile processing. While it has some shortcomings when compared to traditional merchant account providers, PPH outperforms other mobile processor in my opinion, with better features, comparable pricing, and overall superior user experience. I love the almost-instant funding to my PayPal account alongside the PayPal debit card for quick access to the cash. Most other processors, traditional or pay-as-you-go, take at least 24 hours, but typically 48 hours.
I'm completely comfortable giving PayPal Here a solid 4 stars. It's no longer our top-rated mobile processor — that honor goes to Flint — but it's a very respectable rating. If PayPal could work on its customer service, and iron out some of the kinks in its holding process, that would be fantastic… and it might just be enough to bump the rating up.
What's your experience with PayPal Here? Good, bad, somewhere in between? If you have insights, please leave a comment!

I have been doing research, but not really finding what I need. Trying to figure out the logistics with my donor being in another state. Has anyone gone through the process of IUI with a known donor? Any words of wisdom? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
New to group. Anyone use a known donor?

I would definitely find out what the laws of your state are for known donors. I never considered it because in my state, the law doesn't exclude a known donor from having parental rights when the woman he donates to is single. I would have been too worried the donor would seek legal custody someday. However, in many states, known donors would not have any parental rights. So definitely look into it - it may be worth consulting with a lawyer.

I would talk to the clinic you are planning on using to find out how they handle situations with known donors.

I will be using a known donor for my upcoming IVF. The donor signed contracts in another state before donating that sever any ties with potential child. I had to sign contracts as well agreeing he isn't liable for future child support etc
