BOC-Notice of Internet Banking Security
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 27 August 2014 Release date- 26082014 - Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited ('BOCHK') would like to alert its customers and the general public that suspected Trojan Horse cases have recently been reported by few corporate customers when they used the corporate internet banking service.
During the login process, a fake webpage was displayed requesting the customers to input their login names and passwords, as well as the one-time transaction confirmation codes generated by their security devices. With identification of the irregularity, the customers have promptly notified BOCHK who has reported the incident to both the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Hong Kong Police Force.
Customers are reminded to stay vigilant of any unusual login webpages during their internet banking login process (such as unusual screens pop up and/or the unusually slow computer response). If customers find any webpage suspicious, they should not follow its instruction or input any information and should close the browser immediately. BOCHK wishes to reiterate that the one-time transaction confirmation code generated by the security device is only required for 'designated transactions'. BOCHK's internet banking login process does not require customers to enter the one-time transaction confirmation code. Customers who discover any unauthorised transactions in their bank accounts or have any query relating to Internet Banking Service should call BOCHK Customer Service Hotlines (852) 3988 2288 (Corporate Customers) / 3988 2388 (Personal Customers).
To ensure that customers are securely protected when using Internet Banking Service, BOCHK would like to remind customers to install firewall and anti-virus software in their personal computers and keep them up-to-date. They should also avoid visiting or downloading software from suspicious websites, and be wary of opening attachments in emails from unfamiliar sources.

Education & Schooling
February Wed 20, 2013
Three years ago, one of the most devastating natural disasters in modern history, the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, brought an already beleaguered nation to its knees, killing over 200,000 and tearing Port-au-Prince and the surrounding cities asunder. The destruction was of epic proportions in a country with no enforced building codes and poorly made concrete block structures. In the years since, progress has been halting, too slow for many, but visible in a few bright spots. While real improvements have been made in some areas, the story in the news is almost always one of wasted efforts and missed opportunities, and a poor nation still crippled by internal dysfunction and external meddling. It is within this context that I'm blessed to report some hopeful signs and real progress from the efforts of the University of Notre Dame and the Alliance for Catholic Education. We have focused on three things: 1. The first was to rebuild Basil Moreau School, a large school of the Congregation of Holy Cross in a particularly poor neighborhood of Port-au-Prince. Basil Moreau is nearly completed and will be a beautiful, state-of-the-art facility located in the heart of the earthquake zone. A monument of hope and dreams for the children and the community, Basil Moreau is a haven, a harbor, and a holy place of grace and liberation through education. Almost entirely subsidized from international supporters, Basil Moreau is a high performing school serving some of the poorest of the poor. The day its building is completed – in about 2 months – will be one of rejoicing. 2. The second was to create a new institute for teacher training. Under the leadership of the Congregation of Holy Cross and with intimate collaboration from the University of Notre Dame's ACE Program, the Institute Superior Marcel Bedard launched its inaugural class this past August. Serving 35 teachers in this first cohort, the Institute brings international best-practices in teacher education to Haiti, drawing upon lessons and innovative approaches of ACE's own Master of Education program. The Institute is off to a strong beginning. Though a start-up, with all that this entails, the Institute is blessed with strong leaders and a group of top Haitian faculty of education. It is a firm foundation upon which to build. Click here for a photo essay on the work of the institute. Password "haiti"

Clean Marine has been selected by Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding in China to supply exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS) for two 38,000 dwt. Chemical Tankers being built for Stolt Tankers and NYK Stolt Tankers.
The two vessels are built in a series of six sister ships, where the remaining four vessels will be designed with the flexibility to add an EGCS at a later stage. The order will enable these new vessels to comply with sulphur emissions legislation without switching to more expensive fuels. Nils Høy-Petersen, CEO in Clean Marine, states that the contract reflects the growing demand for Clean Marine's unique and competitive multi-stream EGCS solution. "We are very pleased to experience a breakthrough also in the Chinese shipbuilding market and to be selected by Hudong-Zhonghua, a yard which during its 70 years history has delivered over 3,000 quality ships. We also look forward to delivering a cost-effective solution to help Stolt Tankers comply with the new emissions regulations which comes into force from 2015," he said.
Stolt Tankers operates globally and has one of the world's largest and most sophisticated fleet of chemical tankers. The Stolt Tankers fleet consists of more than 150 ships and barges. Stolt Tankers have a strict focus on safety and environmental protection, and the EGCS from Clean Marine will ensure that the new vessels operate well within all applicable local and international regulatory requirements.
Clean Marine has developed an EGCS based on the Advanced Vortex Chamber technology that provides unique cleaning efficiency. The system's integrated fan and gas recirculation technology allows the one EGCS unit to simultaneously serve several combustion units. The system supplied to Stolt Tankers is a hybrid system that allows the vessel to operate seamlessly in all types of water (including low alkaline and saline water) without loss of efficiency.
Furthermore, the Clean Marine EGCS meets the current pH limit for washwater discharge in Europe and U.S.
"For vessels operating in European or U.S. waters, inside the emission control areas (ECAs), a maximum sulphur limit of 0.1 percent will apply from January 2015," said Høy-Petersen. "The Clean Marine system supplied to Stolt Tankers will clean both sulphur oxides (SOx) and particulate matter emissions from one main engine, three auxiliary engines and three boilers. In total, a single Clean Marine EGCS unit will manage seven exhaust sources and will be designed to clean 140,000 kg exhaust per hour." Installation of the EGCS unit is scheduled to take place during 2015.

Kitty has such a diminutive little virgin anal opening, she didn't know if his huge 10-Pounder could fit in it. So this guy worked the muscle not fast and firmly, stuffing his dong in a little bit at a time. As he worked past those taut muscles it was a very taut fit but this guy started banging into Kitty's hawt ass like a jackhammer! He drilled her little anal opening well and then shot a load on her face!

First-time homeowners receive help from state
January 16, 2008 at 1:38 pm | Mobile Reader | Print
The Mortgage Revenue Bond Assisted Program (MRB) is available statewide for first-time homebuyers with the closing costs or down payment assistance coming in the form of a grant equal to 4 percent of the mortgage amount. The program also has interest rates that are usually at or below market level, with the most current interest rate sitting at 6.50 percent.
Last November, the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency put $73.2 million into the program.
Those meeting the income limits, who have an average to good credit score and a stable income, qualify for the program as long as the property they purchase is in Louisiana. The property must also be owner-occupied and be either a new or existing one unit dwelling, condo, townhouse or manufactured home. Mobile, recreational or vacation homes are not eligible under this program.
In addition to the MRB program, the state also offers other programs that can help homebuyers inside the parish. The Low Mortgage Unassisted Program is for homebuyers who have the minimum down payment and money for closing costs, but want a below-market interest rate, which is currently at 5.95 percent. While many people are eligible for that program, there is a Teacher's Assisted Program that offers certified teachers a subsidized rate of 6.25 percent, plus a grant equal to 4 percent of the mortgage amount.
The Herald-Guide recently spoke with AmCor Mortgage's Julie Otillio, whose firm is approved by the state to assist residents with these programs.
Why is the MRB program so useful to parish residents?
"It's a useful program because it helps people to overcome one of the biggest barriers to owning a home, which is coming up with the thousands of dollars needed for the closing costs. For example, if someone is purchasing a home for $175,000 and qualified for a 100 percent conventional loan, they will receive a grant of $7,000. With the grant money, they will be able to get into the home with less than $1,000 total out of pocket instead of $8,000."
Are many people in the parish eligible for this program?
"With over 500 homes currently listed for sale between St. John and St. Charles parishes, many homes are priced below the maximum sales price of $237,031. In fact, 155 of those are in St. Charles Parish. I do want to make the point that the borrowers must be qualified for the mortgage loan in order to be eligible to participate in the subsidy programs."
I know that a family of three can be eligible with a total income of up to $60,030, but what about a family of two or less?
"Family of two or less income limit for St. Charles and all New Orleans MSA parishes is $52,200 as of 2007C issue.
Some funds are still available from 2007B issue allowing higher "targeted" income limits in St. Charles and St. John as follows:
Family of two or less: $62,640 Family of three or more: $73,080."
How did the $73.2 million funded by the LHFA help the MRB program?
"There was a waiting list for funds last year, but fall-out allowed most requests to be funded. There has not been a waiting list with the recent issue."
What about the Low Rate Mortgage Unassisted Program? How does that help homebuyers?
"It helps to offset the higher cost of insurance with a payment based on a lower than market interest rate."
How is someone eligible for that program?
"If they are qualified for the loan program chosen, purchasing a home to owner-occupy, and meeting the program sales price and income limits."
For further information on any of these programs, call (985) 785-5500 and ask for Julie Otillio.

I currently use Nikon's ViewNX to edit my D300S's RAW files and convert to JPEGs for very minor processing (add a title or border, cropping, etc.) in Adobe Elements. Is there an advantage to using any of the Adobe products above vs my current setup?

Complaint: doesn't want to refund stay This is the email I sent them on Sept 22nd and still no reply this is why I'm writing this complain. I'm getting back to you regarding the condo ***** where I was suppose to spend 1 week with my girlfriend from Sept 11th to Sept 18th. We only spent 1 night and were very disappointed by the condo and felt deceived. The condo had barely an ocean view, there was no A/C, no wifi connection, the condo looked very old and it didn't appear to have been cleaned and refreshed before our arriving. The description of the condos you rent are very different from the one we had and felt deceived by what we had and is different from what has been described on the website. We called you on Sept 12th in the morning to complain, the next day of our arrival, and you told us to call ******. We called ****** and spent a ginormous amount of time on the phone with them for absolutely nothing. They told us that you didn't want to refund the remaining nights because you could move us to another condo??? and that the one we were in (*****) was an UPGRADE??? This is totally ridiculous and deceiving. You are not able to deliver what you promised so you are trying to find some ways to work around that??? This is totally not professional and not a way to make business. We were willing to pay for the night we spent and even a late cancellation fee if needed and still you disagree to refund part of the money we spent. We know that we have to go through ******, you like to use them as man in the middle to deal with unsatisfied customers, but as long as you don't want to refund them, they won't refund us too. This is why I'm sending this email directly to you to fix this issue once and for all. After, spending more than 1hr on the phone with ******, we decided to move out the condo, and stayed in another hotel for the rest of the trip. We are just asking for a refund of the nights we didn't spent in your property and nothing else and settle this problem in a nice way.
Desired Settlement: refund of the nights we haven't spent in the condo.
Aloha ****** ********,

Complaint: We rented a condo from Maui Condo and Home LLC on March 24 2014. After unpacking our groceries and beginning to cook lunch we found the kitchen to be infested with cockroaches. We called Maui Condo and Homes they would not return our call. We called the front desk and they sent up a maintenance man. He commented on how bad they were. We kept contacting Maui Condo and Homes as we threw out our groceries and watched our luggage. We had to order take out. We were finally contacted in the late afternoon the next day where they offered to spray while we were staying there. They finally moved us and we spent the rest of our day 2 of our vacation moving. We asked to be compensated for our time, food and our night. We were told that we could get half of a night's stay. We asked for our food, time and our night's stay and they refused. We lost 2 days of our vacation and money. The day we were checking out housekeeping called us to tell us that we needed to wash our linens since they would not have time to clean up after us. That was WAY out of line.
Desired Settlement: Monitary compensation for our time, a night's stay, our food that had to be thrown away and the restaurant food that we would not have bought.
Business Response: Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2014/04/09) */ April 9th, 2014 Aloha ***** and *** ********, First and foremost I'd like to thank you for choosing to stay at a Kamaole Sands - Maui Condo and Home, LLC managed property. We do try our very best to make each guest's visit enjoyable, with the hope that you will leave with fond memories of our beautiful Island, Maui. We are committed to providing the best guest service possible and appreciate your comments and concerns as we strive to meet and exceed our guest's expectations. Thank you for bringing your lingering concerns to our attention through the Better Business Bureau. I appreciate the opportunity to address them. Our records indicate that on March 24th, 2014 the day of your scheduled arrival, the lock audit reflects that you entered the unit at 6:10 PM. Our regular office hours are from 8-5 PM Monday - Friday and from 8 -4 PM on the weekend additionally we have after-hours services available 24/7/365. Our after-hours service reported that you contacted them at 6:27 PM. 17 minutes after you first entered the unit. The call was to report insects in the kitchen area. Our after-hours customer care response was to immediately dispatch a maintenance man to assess the situation. Within 45 minutes of your initial call minutes our maintenance man advised that he had gone to the unit and laid down unobtrusive insect traps. Please note that a different guest had been staying in the unit and departed the same day you arrived, they did not report any insects or problems with the unit additionally the unit had received it's regularly schedule pest control treatment earlier in the week. The next morning, March 25th, 2014 at 10:39 AM our office called the unit and spoke to Mr. ********, we offered to have an all-natural pest control company come out to the unit to treat it, this service does not use harsh chemicals it is environmental friendly and is not harmful to children or adults. Mr. ******** declined the offer of pest control service. He was also asked if we could have housekeeping come back through the unit for touch up and as a precautionary measure which was also declined. The services offered would have addressed the issue of insects/pest with no loss of vacation time or inconvenience to you. At 11:13 AM we show that our Unit Quality Control Coordinator assisted Mr. ******** offering him the option of moving to a different unit, since he had declined pest control and housekeeping and did not want to continue to stay in the original unit. Despite your comments in your BBB compliant our office did contact you quickly and responded with options to address your concerns it was your decision to relocate to another unit. Customer service is of utmost importance to us and we make every effort to resolve problems expediently, as well as satisfy our guests while they are in-house. The housekeeper who contacted you is not our employee but an independent contractor who works for the unit owner. They are not to contact guests or make the type of request you reported. We will definitely address this violation of customer services standards with the housekeeper directly. At Maui Condo and Home, LLC the Kamaole Sands AOAO, hire professional pest control services, unfortunately your experience in the tropics may include pests, which cannot be completely controlled. Pests include insects, rodents and friendly geckos. Packaged food and food in the refrigerator would not have been affected by pests and it was your decision to relocate rooms rather than have the issue treated. As a matter of customer service a 50% refund for the first night of your stay had already been extended to you during your stay and is being processed through your booking agent, Orbitz. As a gesture of good faith and our commitment to customer service we will increase the credit to include one full night. This credit will be applied via Orbitz, as your payment was collected through Orbitz. It is our hope that this gesture of good faith will display our commitment to providing the best possible customer service and care. We do hope to regain your trust and confidence in our service and products in the future. We want to assure you that we take these concerns to heart. I deeply regret that our best intentions resulted in disappointment for you. Despite your dissatisfaction, we do hope that you took home many fond memories of Maui and that you will return again in the future. Mahalo, ***** ******** Owner and Guest Services Manager Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (2000, 8, 2014/04/10) */ We thank you for being willing to compensate the entire night. When will we see this? We do have a few corrections to your timeline. We entered the room at 3 pm not 6 pm. The key pad did not work at 3 pm thus in the time that we went to the front office to get the correct code, a made was in the room. I guess at that point we did not use the key pad to enter we just used her access. The front desk should have record of our checking in. My daughter's went down to the beach then and I washed the linens in the apartment at that time since they appeared to not have been washed. We exited the condo at about 5:30 and came back in for dinner around 6. We did not contact the main office about the linens as we just wanted to enjoy our time. The cockroaches put us over the edge. When the maintainance man came up he told us that they were a terrible kind. He did tell us that there were cockroaches here and we would see them. We understood this but they were crawling out of the sockets in the kitchen, over the silverware, in the sink, across the counter, on the floor. We were also asking for food compensation as we had left our food in the kitchen from 3 pm until 6 pm while we washed laundry and went to the beach. We through out most of our food as we were cooking some of it when we discovered that there were cockroaches running across the dishes and silverware. We through out the food that was on the counter (uncooked food since they had run through or possible gotten into those. We had to then eat our dinner out. As we waited for the emergency line to contact us back the next day, we went out for breakfast and lunch. We were not offered a new room until 2 in the afternoon or around that time. It may have been a little bit earlier as we then waited for the maids to clean the room so we could move in--we helped with this process. My parents took our daughters at that time so we could move all of our stuff from the 3rd floor to the 1st floor. We had eaten lunch by this time. Yes, we were offered the spraying but from past experiences we were not willing to take the chance of the spray while occupying the room. We wanted a new room. We were VERY happy with the new room though (aside from the maid calling and asking us to clean up and several other things we chose to ignore because we wanted to enjoy our time).

Complaint: Via ******** ********, I booked an 8 night stay at ******* ***** in Kihei, Maui, managed by Maui Condo and Home. The unit was extremely dirty. My reservation was made via a vacation package through ******** ******** (flight/car/condo) with a Sept. 3rd arrival date. This was about my 30th trip to Maui over the past 25 years, renting a condo each time. All previous stays have been fine. As I would be traveling alone, I called Maui Condo and Home a week before and requested a unit above the 2nd floor. I was told the request would be noted, but no guarantee. I was also told I would be receiving an email 48 hours before arrival with my parking space number, unit number, and pass code for the door. I did not receive this, so I called Sept. 2nd and was given the information (unit 207). When I asked if they had a unit on a higher floor I was told there was none available. They did not know why I had not receive the email. When I entered the unit the first thing I saw was a very badly stained carpet. About 1 minute later there was a knock at the door. A gentleman said there was a problem with the stove and he needed to repair it. He commented on how dirty the carpet looked. The screen door would not open properly and did not close completely. The table on the lanai was dirty with lots of ants on it. The face and hand towels in the bath were badly stained and shredded. On opening the shower curtain, an old dried piece of soap fell out of it. The folding doors next to the bath sink were very dirty. There was one pot holder in the unit. It was in a drawer with dried food on it. There were lots of crumbs in the utensil drawers. Some plates in the cupboard were dirty. The side of the refrigerator next to the sink was grossly stained with some kind of grease. There were crumbs in the dresser drawers. I called Maui Condo and Home, the company assigned to my reservation. I gave them all the above information and asked to be moved to another unit and was told there was none. They offered to have housekeeping come back and spot clean the rug and bring new linens and have someone fix the door to the lanai. I kept asking how this unit could have been declared ready for a guest's arrival. The only response I kept getting is we will send someone to clean and she was sorry the unit did not live up to my expectations. You mean clean? I did agree to have someone come and fix the lanai door. I did not want to spend any extra time there, so I would just make do with the other issues. Sept. 4th I went to rearrange the cushions on the sofa. I picked one up and underneath it was a broken red crayon and lots of crumbs. Sept. 6th I wanted to use the TV in the bedroom but no remote from the living room worked. Sept. 7th I wanted to sleep on the other side of the bed near the wall for the second half of my stay. There was an old kleenex on the floor by the nightstand. I got something to pick it up. I did not want to look at it again, then saw something shiny in back of it. There on the floor between the bed and nightstand was the bedroom TV remote. In back of the nightstand against the wall was an empty water bottle. I arrived home late Sept. 11th. On Sept. 13th I called Maui Condo and Home and spoke with *****, manager on duty. I had left 4 pages of notes detailing my experience and wanted to understand why such a thing could happen. She asked if I'd been offered to relocate to another property and I told her I was not offered that and I would have accepted if offered. She was going to review with the person I talked with and get back to me. She asked if I wanted some kind of monetary settlement or discount on my next visit. I said I would not want to deal with their business again and would like a full refund. She called me Sept. 17th. She said the manager who releases the units as "ready" had asked housekeeping to return to fix some things, but the housekeeper never did return. She said that person has been terminated. She said they have agreed to refund me one night's stay - $111, and it would come via ***********, the contracted company used by ******** ********.
Desired Settlement: My previous visits to Maui have been great. This was totally unacceptable and I would like a full refund. I would also like to understand how this company could have an A+ rating with Better Business Bureau.
Business Response: Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2013/10/01) */ This is to address the BBB Case #********. The unit was inspected, as is every unit, prior to the guest arrival and was deemed not ready. According to our arrival inspection notes, the housekeeper was called back to the unit to take care of numerous cleanliness issues. After speaking with the guests, the day after arrival, it was apparent that the cleaner did not go back to the unit as required. The guest called our office to advise of her dissatisfaction of the unit's cleanliness. We take these types of concerns very seriously and respond immediately, we offered to send the housekeeper to the unit. The guest refused to allow for the cleaner to come back. We did not have availability at the ******* ***** property to relocate the guest to; however we did offer to move her to another "ocean view" property, which she declined. The guests were offered should she change her mind to please let us know, we would be more than happy to have her enjoy her time in another unit. She chose to stay in the unit. We did have availability elsewhere. A week after the guest departure date of the reservation, I received a phone call from the guests. At that time the guests wanted to ensure that a manager was aware of her recent visit. After listening to the guests, I had asked her what her ideal resolution from this situation would be. She stated that she wanted to know what types of policies we have in place to ensure that this type of situation doesn't happen and how this happened. She couldn't understand how we could be rated A+ with the BBB and this type of situation occurred. I did review with her our policy that the units are inspected by a trained professional prior to each arrival. And I did let her know that I would have to review the full details of the report from her arrival date and would need to call her back. She did not request compensation at that time. After reviewing all the detailed notes from her initial conversation with our reservation supervisor and the notes from the arrival inspection report on the day of her arrival I called her back. We do take cleaning concerns very serious and the cleaner had been terminated from this unit. Since no compensation was expected or requested, as a sign of good faith I had offered a refund for one night's stay and an additional discount on a future stay even though she was offered alternate accommodations but chose to stay in the unit. The guests agreed to this amount and did not express that she was expecting or wanting any further compensation. To receive this complaint after a resolution had reached comes as quite a bit of a surprise as I had personally worked with the guests and reached an agreement. We at Maui Condo and Home, LLC take call concerns seriously and response immediately. We do try our very best to be proactive to avoid a situation where a guests is dissatisfied. We made every effort to assist the guest and resolve the raised concerns from the time of awareness. Final Consumer Response /* (4200, 11, 2013/10/10) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) When I called Maui Condo and Home the second time on 9/4 and asked to speak to a manger. The supervisor who answered kept saying she could help fix any problem. The conversation went back and forth as she kept wanting to send housekeeping and rug cleaners and linens, etc. I kept reiterating I expected a decent unit and I was not there for inspection and housekeeping. I expected, as my previous visits over the past 25 years at other properties not managed by Maui Condo and Home, to walk into a unit, unpack and enjoy my vacation. She responded as if she didn't hear me and repeatedly said there were no other one-bedroom units. They had some 2 bedrooms but I would have to pay more. She said they would call if another unit became available. I never received another call. Thank heavens there were many things for me to do outside the unit as I wasn't going to let this ruin my retreat. In response to the business reply 10/8/13 above, I have repeatedly stated I was never offered to move to another unit, either at the same property or another location. When I called on 9/13/13, not 9/17 as noted above, I was specifically asked whether or not I had been offered to go to another unit. When I said I had not been given that offer after repeated requesting to be moved, Tiana (on duty manager) apologized that it had not been offered. If it was on record at that time that it had been offered, why did she have to ask me? She was quoting the other things in my original concerns, many of which are missing from above. She asked what could they do to make it right. I asked to try and understand how such a unit could have been offered to a guest, and I asked for a full refund. She said to give her time for their weekly review meeting and she would get back to me next Monday or Tuesday. She called Sept. 17th and gave me the housekeeping excuse stuff. She said they would be reimbursing me for one-night's stay and a 10% discount on a returning trip as a compensation. I laughed and said that surely was not making it right as far as I was concerned. On 9/13 I was very clear to her that I was not interested in renting from Maui Condo and Home in the future. Final Business Response /* (4000, 13, 2013/10/11) */ Maui Condo and Home prioritizes customer service and has made its best effort to assist this customer both while she was in-house and since her departure. Guest says she was not offered alternate accommodations our records indicate in notes made at the time of each conversation that guest was offered alternate accommodations but at a different property from ******* ***** as no one bedroom ocean view units were available there. Guest declined those offers. When guest spoke with our Guest Services Manager after her departure she was of course offered an apology for our not being able to provide an alternate unit at ******* ***** although an alternate unit at a different location was offered and for our not being able to address all the guest concerns during her stay. The guest was offered housekeeping service to return immediately while guest was in-house upon our being advised housekeeping issues existed which would have correct her concerns for the remainder of her stay and unfortunately guest declined that service. All issues could have been corrected for guest the first day of her stay. She declined the services and offers made to correct the problems. Maui Condo refunded one night stay to guest via her agent based on the one day she was affected prior to our being made aware of situation and when it could have been corrected had guest allowed for same. In an additional offer extend as a matter of customer service and good faith Maui Condo has processed a refund for a second night of guest stay via guest agent. The guest did utilize the unit at ******* ***** for eight nights and Maui Condo could and would have corrected all the guests concerns on the first day of her stay had she allowed us to do so. No additional refund will be issued. We wish the guest had allowed us to assist her unfortunately she tied our hands and did not allow us to do so. We are glad that she noted in her response she did do many things during her stay so that her retreat was not ruined. Sincerely, Maui Condo and Home, LLC Management

About the Author
Rachel Caine is the author of more than twenty novels, including the "Weather Warden" series. She was born at White Sands Missile Range, which people who know her say explains a lot. She has been an accountant, a professional musician, and an insurance investigator, and still carries on a secret identity in the corporate world. She and her husband, fantasy artist R. Cat Conrad, live in Texas with their iguanas, Popeye and Darwin; a "mali uromastyx" named (appropriately) O Malley; and a leopard tortoise named Shelley (for the poet, of course)." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book 5 starts where book 4 (Ill Wind) left off - the Djinn have been released from their bond with humanity and Mother Earth is waking up. David, Joanne's lover, has now become head honcho of the Djinn and his and Joanne's baby has been born - as a full grown adult, Imara.
Firestorm carries on the theme of the other books - there is a lot of long-distance driving, loving description of flashy cars, injuries, confusion, weather changing, fires, Djinn... everything that we loved about the previous books is here. Paul, Lewis, Marion and others appear again - as does Joanne's sister Sarah and her evil lover. In fact, Joanne seems to have no end of things on her plate in this book at the same time - not only is she trying to save the world, she's also trying to help her daughter feel worthwhile, to rescue her sister, to look after her friends... the list is endless.
I feared at the end of the last book that David wouldn't be part of the story now, or would be a baddie - fortunately that's not so. We have the ready-made baddie Ashan, of course, who gets a bigger part in this story, plus the three Oracles who are new characters and very significant.
When starting this book I wondered if it would tie up all the loose ends and finish the series, knowing that Rachel Caine has now started the Morganville Vampires series. But no, this book ends up with more loose ends, not less, at the end, and the sample chapter of the next book shows it's going to be fascinating.
What do I like so much about these books?Read more ›
After the ending in Windfall, Jo has to work out how to stop Mother Nature waking up fully and destroying the world. David can only help so much 'cos, if she wants him, Mother Nature has full control over all the Djinn, and they have no way of fighting it. And as if that wasn't bad enough, not all the Djinn are on the same wavelength. Ashan and a small group of Djinn are set on letting Mother Nature win this battle. But Jo is determined to fight as much as she can and must talk to Mother Nature to convince her to stop. And yes, that is as hard as it sounds.
I was a tad miffed at Rachel Caine and her treatment of David in previous books but this series has quickly dragged me back in again. I lovelovelove David and Jo and want them to be happy but I realise this is not at all possible. But I still want them to be together as much as they can.
The story in this book was amazing, real apocalypse style. And since it involved the end of the world it's a story that you feel fairly strong about! It was very emotional at times as well, not a lot can upset me but Rachel managed it in spades with this one. I said it before and I'll say it again ~ if you've read the rest of the series, you have to read the rest (LAW, remember?).
Also, if you haven't read the rest of the series? What are you waiting for??? Get started now!!
Really like the characters in this and the other 4 books, I really liked Imara as a new character, and I wish Sarah would get a kick up the bum!
I think that you could read this as a start but I recommend you read the rest of the series first due to it might be confusing.
I recommend this book wholeheartedly just don't read if you have to really do something as i ended up reading in the loo so i could finish it and not wake my other half up!!! Dedication or what!
Like the first 4 books Firestorm is very fast paced & action packed from beginning to end. I love the character Joanne, she has a great sense of humor and is devoted to her family & friends. She is willing to fight for what she believes in & despite the fact that things often go wrong for her she refuses to give up.
I love the chemistry between her & her boyfriend David, although we see less of this than usual in this book. Although I would have liked to see more of David I can see why that was impossible at this point in the storyline & there was just enough of him in there to keep things interesting. We also see a few of the other characters we've known & loved in the earlier books including Wardens Lewis & Paul and Djinn Rahel & Venna.
I really liked the major new character in this book Imara who is Jo & David's daughter. She is only 1 day old at the start of the book but as she is half-human/half-djinn she is already fully grown. I found the interaction between Jo and Imara really interesting - it must be quite confusing to be pregnant one day and have an adult daughter the next!
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the story develops over the next 4 books and I still intend on buying the series as I know I'll be happy to re-read the books again in the future

PinkNews.co.uk launches free iPhone app

Perhaps an Android app should follow this, since Android is going to overtake iOS sales this year. There is perhaps less need since flash works on androids and we can just use the browser, but even so.
oh please sod android. if it wasn't for apple phones would still just make calls. always back the innovater to ensure progress. google are bastards with that streetview crap for stalkers.
Cool. Just downloaded the app to my iPhone (3GS). Very quick to navigate too, which is a good thing when you just want to quickly read an article on the bus etc.
Thanks for the app. Any chance of having a paid app option so wee don't have to have ads?
Just downloaded it on my iPhone. I already have an RSS app (Feeddler Pro) that I use to keep up with pink news and other things online. Great to see that it uses push notifications. It would be good if there was some way to read the comments on articles through the app as well, the this one would take precedence over the other one for staying in the loop on the go. Sometimes the comments can be more interesting than the articles themselves!
At last!
Dean: "if it wasn't for apple phones would still just make calls."
That's all mine still does. I have a 8 year old mobile, and it does me fine. No cameras, no internet, not even a colour screen. It makes clear, loud calls from anywhere, which is more than that pile of dog-poo. iPhones don't even work as a phone, let alone anything else.
On top of that, if I want a computer / mp3 player / camera / device for picking stones out of horse's hooves – I will buy the appropriate tool for the job, instead of some overhyped, expensive, piss-poor gadget for poseurs.
Yay, finally. The previous enabled iphone-formatted website loads as slow as if you access the full html version on your hand-held device
spanner I guess you'd know about tools you've ne'er had an iPhone and you rubbish it I bet things were better in your time you muppet
Dean: quite a few of my mates have them, and I always know because they sound like they are in the back of a box and the signal drops constantly. I have plenty of high tech gear, but I still expect it all to be fit for purpose, not just some pose value that label queens like you mince about with.
ahh spanner can't get the guys he fancies so he attacks em god help you partner who you don't fancy.
Well I sure as hell wouldn't fancy you, fcukwit.
such wit
Now now ladies. Play nice!

Diesel prices to be hiked 40-50 paise every month: Moily
New Delhi: Diesel prices will be hiked by 40-50 paise per litre every month till losses on the nation's most used fuel are completly wiped out, Oil Minister M Veerappa Moily said on Friday.
"Until further orders, oil marketing companies can increase it (diesel price) by 40-50 paise (per litre) every month," he told reporters here.
The government had on January 17 decided to move towards deregulating or freeing diesel prices from state control and gave powers to state-owned oil firms to raise prices in small measures every month till all of their losses are wiped out.
Diesel is currently sold at a loss of over Rs 10.80 per litre.
On January 17, oil firms hiked diesel price by 45 paise. After including local VAT, the increase in Delhi came to 50 paisa. The diesel now costs Rs 47.65 a litre in the capital.
Moily said the decision to raise diesel prices in small doses every month will stand "until further orders". He, however, did not say when the oil firms will effect the second price increase.
The decision for retail price hike was coupled with a move to charge bulk consumers like defence, railways and state transport undertakings market price which is almost Rs 10 a litre more than retail selling rate, to save an estimated Rs 12,907 crore in annual subsidy.
Moily said he had heard of States like Gujarat and Tamil Nadu asking their public transport fleet to refuel at petrol pumps instead of buying diesel from oil firms directly as is the current practice. This is being done with a view to avoid paying the market price mandated for them.
"We need to look into that (issue). I have also heard about it. We are ceased of that matter," he said, adding when rules are laid there are people who find ways to circumvent it.
Instead of buses being asked to refuel at petrol pumps, the states should reduce high local sales tax or VAT on diesel to cut prices, Moily added.
