On 21 April 2016, Professor Robert Cryer published a concise analysis of the possible consequences of a resolution adopted by the UK House of Commons a day earlier, including of a possible referral of the situation involving crimes – war crimes, crimes against humanity, and, in particular, genocide – committed by members of Daesh to the International Criminal Court (ICC). Although Professor Cryer noted, quite appropriately, that "political realities in the S[ecurity] C[ouncil] mean that there may be a veto on a resolution sending the matter to the ICC", there are even more limitations to the likelihood of this proposal. This post briefly discusses these other limitations and suggests an alternative way to proceed.
Legal and Practical Limitations of the ICC Jurisdiction
It is unlikely that the ICC would get to deal with Daesh's crimes in the foreseeable future. The Court does not presently have territorial jurisdiction with respect to the situation in Syria and Iraq, since neither of these States is a Party to the Rome Statute. Theoretically, the Court might exercise personal jurisdiction with respect to crimes committed by foreign members of Daesh who are nationals of States Parties to the Statute – but this is also unlikely, by virtue of the ICC principle of complementarity: if such individuals are found in the territory of a State Party to the Rome Statute, they are likely to be handed over to the States of which they are nationals, or to be tried in the State where they are apprehended (aut dedere aut judicare).
In turn, the likelihood of the situation in Syria being referred to the ICC by the UN Security Council is close to zero, because such a referral would imply the Court's jurisdiction not only with respect to crimes under international law committed by members of Daesh (for the concept of crimes under international law, see: G. Werle and F. Jessberger, Principles of International Criminal Law, p. 32) but also with respect to those committed by Syrian armed forces, their internal opponents, and – last but not least – by members of foreign armed forces currently present in the country. Yet, there seem to be further good reasons not to refer the situation involving crimes committed by members of Daesh to the ICC at all, but to follow an alternative route.

When people are red-cheeked with good health they are florid. Spending most of the year in the college library can give you a colorless, weary face, but after a mountain vacation, you'll be florid with the reddish color that comes from exercise and living well.
Florid is an adjective that entered English in the 17th century, via the French floride, from the Latin flōridus, "blooming." You can probably guess how Florida and flourish are related! Something overly decorated, such as a really ornate living room, is florid in the flowery sense, while people with rosy cheeks and a look of healthiness are florid because they are flourishing with a fullness of life. Your florid complexion matched your florid red drapes as you came in from the cold and plunked down on the couch near the window.

I've recently done my first post that includes audio. The audio in the posts are simply links to the MP3 files, no fancy embedding.
For reasons that I hope this forum will be able to shed light on-- the post's body renders twice, on the front page, and on it's own single page.
The original post was done with ecto, but I've reposted it by cutting and pasting into the WordPress editor. I've even tried renaming the entry thinking that the word "comments" might be confusing it. After re-posting the entry sans the pieces containing the audio links (from blockquote to blockquote) the problem seems to disappear.
Is this a markup problem? What can I do to resolve this issue and prevent it from occurring in the future?

TOKYO — Fast Retailing Co., which is best known for its low-price casual brand Uniqlo, is shifting its brand concept and image to "fashionable basics" in response to falling sales and is trying to seek new growth in casual sportswear.
This story first appeared in the April 2, 2003 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The new idea at Uniqlo, a household name in Japan, is to inject more fashion in casualwear in tune with changing fashion trends, while retaining its fundamental character of basics, said Shinya Matsuyama, corporate communications executive at Uniqlo.
Yet, that's easier said than done for a giant apparel manufacturer and retailer like Uniqlo. The company's performance has been on the downside for two years and it is faced with growing deflation in the Japanese economy, as more consumers are looking for inexpensive, simple, but good-quality casual clothing. Fast Retailing's revenues, helped by explosive sales of fleece jackets, doubled to a peak of $3.5 billion in fiscal year 2001, based on currency rate conversions with the yen. But then came the plunge, with sales in fiscal 2002 sliding 18 percent to $2.87 billion. Some analysts have forecasted a further decline of 13 percent to $2.5 billion for fiscal 2003.
The question apparel and retail analysts are asking is: Will Uniqlo be able to turn around and put itself back on a path of growth or was the Uniqlo boom just a passing phenomenon?
Market watchers point out that despite all the criticisms about Uniqlo, the company has production and marketing infrastructure unrivaled by other suppliers, with links to six partnership apparel factories in China and other Asian countries, and nearly 600 directly operated shops, including five in London and two in Shanghai.
This infastructure prompted Tadashi Yanai, founder and president, to decide last year to restructure Uniqlo's corporate management and policy. He picked Genichi Tamatsuka, a 40-year-old managing director who had been with Uniqlo for only four years, to take over the reins as president and chief operations officer, while Yanai moved himself to the position of chairman and chief executive officer to oversee policy making.
The company has begun implementing several important changes to bring itself back on a growth track. First, it has established the Uniqlo Design Studio in Tokyo and brought in Yutaka Tada, former president of Issey Miyake Inc., to head up the team of about 50 designers and pattern makers.
Previously, the design staff was part of the merchandising department. The spinoff of the designers group into an independent unit reflects Uniqlo's new emphasis on incorporation of fashion into its products. But the success of Uniqlo in past years stemmed from its focus on mass merchandising to minimize the unit cost. "I believe that a strong lineup of women's apparel is essential for Uniqlo to become an international brand," Tamatsuka said last year in announcing the business results, noting that the goal is to achieve net sales of $3.75 billion in fiscal 2005 when the share of women's merchandise will have risen to 40 percent from 28 percent at present.
Tada said fashion will be injected into basics without changing Uniqlo's fundamental business model. For instance, fashion twists like low-rise, cutting, post-treatment and other design work can be added onto jeans to make them stand out from boring basics. These fashion items will target primarily the younger set because older people, after all, like to wear what the young are wearing, Tada said.
Uniqlo's first "prototype" pilot shop, which features fashionable casual items for women, has recently opened in Tokyo and more stores are expected.
Another key component is strengthening the firm's information technology and broadening its computer network linking all sales and manufacturing points in Japan, China and other markets where Uniqlo operates, Matsuyama explained. Some 90 percent of Uniqlo's production is made in China where the company maintains a staff of about 40 production, design and other specialists in Shanghai.
This will enable the company, through expanded quick response and supply chain management, to shorten lead times from product planning to sales, enhance the accuracy of demand forecasts and better manage inventory risk, and bring about closer coordination between operating units in Japan and overseas, he said.
As production can be brought closer to actual sales, the level of scheduled production has been reduced to 50 percent of forecast sales compared with 60 percent in previous years, while production planning cycles were increased to six times a year from three previously in order to respond to fashion changes more rapidly and flexibly.
Although its stumbled with its U.K. plan, Uniqlo is still seeking new growth and expansion into the global market. The company moved into Britain two years ago by establishing a subsidiary, Fast Retailing (U.K.) Ltd., with the opening of its first shop in London. Uniqlo's first overseas shop was opened in September 2001, and 20 more were added by November last year. But the company said earlier this month that it decided to close 16 of them, leaving only five shops at Knightsbridge, Regent Street, Wimbledon, Richmond and Uxbridge because same-store sales ran below plan. It chalked up a loss of about $25 million.
The company still sees growth potential in the U.K., however, and will concentrate its resources on the five stores in and outside London, aiming to turn its business into a profitable operation in the coming year.
China is another market where Uniqlo has set its sights. The company opened two stores in Shanghai in September, and, according to Yanai, the goal is to open stores in the U.S. and other major markets in the next 10 years.
Uniqlo is Japan's first model of a specialty retailer of private label apparel and is able to produce and sell casual wear at stunningly low prices for two reasons. One is mass production for economy of scale. Uniqlo limits the number of kinds of its merchandise to 500 a year and that of types of material to 20 a year. This means that just one type or kind of material may involve a massive lot of 10 million to 20 million pieces.
"One of our contract apparel factories in China employs as many as 20,000 workers," Matsuyama said.
Other high point of Uniqlo's business model is that the company controls all phases of operation, including production planning, material development, design, procurement of raw materials, production, distribution and sales. Production is consigned to contract factories.
On a recent trip to a Uniqlo shop in Tokyo, retail prices ranged from $8.33 for cotton crew neck shirts, $12.50 for printed T-shirts, $15.83 for women's vests, $15.83 for cotton Oxford shirts, $16.67 for vintage boot-cut jeans and $24.17 for jackets.

Four Tet fans may get excited when they learn that one-third of Fridge is Kieran Hebden, the man behind Four Tet, but buyer be advised: The Sun is nothing like his brand of agitated electronica that some listeners might expect. Composed of Hebden, Adem Ilhan (Adem), and Sam Jeffers, Fridge is a collective combo specializing in guitar/bass/drums post-rock, with only slight touches of electronically altered sounds. The Sun consists of ten sparse, wistful, and sometimes pastoral instrumental jams reminiscent of Tortoise during their Millions Now Living Will Never Die era. There are lots of downcast minor-key melodies and moments of chill ambiance, but at times it´s dispelled by free jazz clarinet on songs like ¨Insects¨ or the occasional bursts of raucous guitar á la Mogwai. Only on the impressionistic ¨Clocks¨ does Fridge raise a dissonant ruckus. Hebden´s guitar-playing is mainly trebly/twanging chords on electric, using feedback as judiciously as an artist dabbing paint on a canvas. This particular Sun-rise is likable enough, but at times, it feels like a soundtrack in search of a movie.

Meet Me At 60th And 60th; Many Drivers Find Streets of Queens A Confusing Maze
By SARAH KERSHAW
Published: December 15, 2000
The mission was simple: to find a coffee shop in Corona, Queens.
The man on the mission was equipped with a large and detailed Hagstrom map, a car with a full tank of gas, a master's degree in economics with a concentration in urban planning and an address from the telephone book. The Yellow Pages listed the coffee shop, El Pasillo, at 37-69 103, Corona.
The first problem for the man, Robert Wood, 34, a math guy from Manhattan who volunteered to try to not get lost in Queens, was the matter of the number 103. The possibilities in Queens for that number are 103rd Street, 103rd Avenue, 103rd Drive and 103rd Road. Ditto for 37 and 69, numbers that Mr. Wood deduced contained crucial information about a cross street (or avenue or drive or road).
In the scheme of things, Mr. Wood had it easy with 103 because other numbered streets in Queens can also be found in the form of places -- as in 65th Place -- as well as lanes, terraces, courts and crescents. Crescents are less common; one of the loveliest crescents, 246th, can be located (although not by Mr. Wood) looping through a fancy nook of northeast Queens, just off 57th Drive, which in that part of Queens is actually the continuation of 244th Street before it becomes 245th Place and then 62nd Avenue.
So at 2:09 p.m. on a recent Saturday, Mr. Wood, his palms only mildly sweaty at this stage, set out for the Corona coffee shop from points west. He got himself onto the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and exited soon after arriving in Queens, pulling over at 65th Place and Laurel Hill Boulevard in Woodside, about two miles from Corona.
Looking in the street index, Mr. Wood determined that he was, in fact, in search of 103rd Street because there is no 37-anything for 103rd Avenue, Drive or Road. ''I'm going to do this in stages,'' he said confidently, adding that he planned to hop over to 69th Street, head north to 37th Avenue and then cruise over to 103rd Street.
One block later, Mr. Wood was lost. Five miles and 35 minutes later, Mr. Wood was more lost. ''Welcome to Maspeth,'' read a sign that might as well have said ''Welcome to the Bermuda Triangle'' because even experienced navigators of Queens consider Maspeth difficult.
''Is there someone out there who's really proud of this system?'' Mr. Wood said, shortly after zooming by the intersection of 65th Place, 62nd Street and 52nd Avenue and discovering that in Maspeth, some of the numbered avenues, like the one he was taking in the wrong direction, briefly change to named avenues.
The chances of Mr. Wood's finding the coffee shop seemed to grow slimmer with every passing street, road, avenue, drive, lane, place and terrace. More on this later.
Mr. Wood was flummoxed, but not alone. His deep sense of disorientation is shared by others who shop, visit, work and even reside somewhere in the 112 square miles that make up the vast borough of Queens. United Parcel Service drivers and florists making deliveries, social workers making home visits, reporters covering breaking news, cabdrivers, tourists, census takers -- all have been sucked into the vexing vortex of the Queens street system at one time or another.
''Even with a map, you don't know where you are going; you need a person,'' said Gigi Stone, who has covered Queens for New York 1 News for three years and who lives in the borough as well. ''I'm shameless at this point. I just keep my window down and yell.''
Laura Bell, a proofreader for a Manhattan advertising agency who has lived in Long Island City, Queens, for four years, said flustered people constantly stop her to ask for directions while she is walking her dog. She said she was usually too confused herself to help them out.
''They usually seem like they're at a point where they think they're never going to get out,'' she said. ''Queens is a bit of a twilight zone.''
Some lost souls may be surprised and even flabbergasted to know that there is a highly sophisticated logic to the whole thing, a rational, mathematical street-naming system with an inventor and fans. True, they may never understand the system, but it is regarded by historians and other experts who can grasp it as a stroke of masterly urban planning.
Some experts say the confusion most often occurs among people who spend little time in the borough or who have not taken the time to try to understand the street-naming system.
''Very often this arrives from the snobbery of Manhattan,'' said Vincent Seyfried, a Queens historian who grew up in Ridgewood, not far from the neighborhood where Mr. Wood wound up en route to Corona. He added that while Manhattan's rectangular grid system can be easily understood, Brooklyn and the Bronx have no real universal grid system.
''Queens is the easiest by far of all the boroughs,'' Mr. Seyfried said. ''It's a very simple pattern.''
This was a very interesting notion, one that required a visit to the topographical bureau at Queens Borough Hall, at 120-55 Queens Boulevard, the office responsible for naming and mapping the streets.
The task of explaining the pattern fell to Moghabhai Desai, the bureau's chief engineer, a gentle and patient man whose office is crammed with maps.

They took until September to send me my card and information packet that said I had to buy from their catalog and that I had to put percent down first. I forget now how much.
I have filed a complaint with the better business bureau and nothing. They don't ever answer the phone. It just keeps ringing forever and the web site don't work either.
I think all these people who got "screwed" should get together and sue this company. It is wrong. I was reading some of the other reports on here and we all deserve more then just our $49.00 fee back for being treated unfairly, being ripped off and also for false advertisement making people believe this was a credit card, knoing what they were doing before they did it

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Fresh off its announcement at Comic-Con International, the creator-owned series Wild Blue Yonder scheduled to be released by IDW Publishing is looking for $12,000 to make that happen. Created by Zach Howard, Mike Raicht and Austin Harrison, the five-issue miniseries falls into the post-apocalyptic genre but is set in a new place — the skies.
In the fallout from pollution and radiation, the surviving members of humanity climb mountains to get away from danger and eventually find a precarious home in the sky with flying machines, airplanes and floating fortresses. The struggle becomes for the fuel needed to keep these machines aloft, with the upper class (literally, as in living above earth) fighting among themselves and the lower class left on the ground mining the precious resource.
"We've been striving to put Wild Blue Yonder together for a long time," Raicht said in a press release. "It is so amazing that it is finally coming together. To be able to publish it at IDW, the same place that has produced some of my favorite creator owned properties, like 30 Days of Night, The Cape, and Locke and Key, is cooler than I can ever truly express."
It might seem weird for comic creators to use Kickstarter when their project has already been picked up by a major publisher like IDW, but it's not the first time. IDW is the home of the Womanthology, which was one of Kickstarter's early successes, and Image has published several projects that got a majority of their funding through Kickstarter. In Wild Blue Yonder's case, the $12,000 they're hoping to raise apparently is to provide the creators a living wage while creating the book, something that apparently their contract with IDW doesn't provide. Not that that's out of the ordinary — most all creator-owned contracts (with the exception of Vertigo and traditional book houses), provide little to no cash advances or page rates. Seeing an IDW book looking to Kickstarter is simply a reflection of the industry as it stands now.
Like I said, Wild Blue Yonder's creators are looking to receive $12,000 from their Kickstarter drive, and they're already a quarter of the way there with 22 days left. The project is already backed financially by 124 people, including some comic pros like Joe Hill, Alex de Campi, Mark Andrew Smith and Duane Swierczynski. To top that off, in a promotional quote Punk Rock Jesus' Sean Murphy says that, "If this doesn't win an Eisner, I'm going to punch the person who does."
And I believe him.
Here's four pages the team have shared through their project: You can see more at their Kickstarter page.
Some very nice-looking art.
Hope they get the funds they need so this sees the light of day
If it already has a publisher, it really shouldn't be doing this. Particulalry since IDW seems pretty flush with funds from the success of their various licenses, collections, and archival editions. Publishers shouldn't be allowed to use Kickstarter this way.
Mr. Pants: It's being done by the creators of the book, not the publisher. The publisher doesn't own the book, the creators do.
So does IDW only do back-end pay then? How does their deal for creators differ from the Image model?
Just to clear a couple of things up for everyone:
– IDW is not paying us up front to do anything. This is a true CO book. That is why we are in need of money to help me pay the bills while i draw five issues. I'm taking a major financial hit in doing this. We are not trying to fool people into giving us income that we don't need.
– The contract with IDW is different in many ways than that of an Image book. I've done both and I prefer to work with IDW. Unfortunately, I can't legally discuss my deal with them. However, they bring many things to the table that other companies couldn't offer us.
– I get paid up front to do IDW books, but this isn't an IDW book – it's just being published by them. In that respect, we are a true CO book like any Image book. IDW is not doing the Kickstarter; we are. We need the money so we can devote our time completely to the project.
– Mr. Pants, why all the negativity? IDW is a solid company, but no indie company is "flush with cash" in any way whatsoever. They aren't doing anything but publishing our book. Are you upset with Image creators that do this, too? All we are trying to do is produce a five issue series with the amount of money I usually get paid to do in less than two issues at Marvel or DC. I'll be living like a monk for the next 10 months while I do this, and I don't think asking my fans to give a few donations for some incentives is amoral or unjust.
anyhow, thank you to everyone who read the article and supported us in any way – money or exposure. We are very happy with the press we have gotten! Feel free to contact us about anything Wild Blue Yonder. =)

IMHO, Google doesn't want to let publishers set minimums for one simple reason: The AdSense "black box" wasn't designed to be micromanaged by outsiders who don't have the network's greater interests (including Google's own interests) in mind.
Setting minimum bids isn't going to provide the control over what ads show on one's site that people think it will. Isn't this kind of obvious?
Yes, it is.
But some people don't care what ads appear on their site as long as they earn the right amount of money from those ads.
Some people primarily want to have control over which ads are shown on their site and the amount earned is a secondary concern.
Still others want both a minimum click amount and control over which ads appear.
And there are those who believe that setting a minimum click amount will also keep away most or all of the unwanted ads.
Regardless of all that, I think everyone should consider all this just somewhat interesting conversation and not get their hopes up lest they be disappointed.
By now, the upper echelons of Google AdSense should be way past getting a forwarded list of 5 top requests. They should know, for one example, publishers here want a better and bigger filter and should be examining why - "what is it about the ads we're serving that seem to be so unpopular in many situations with publishers?"
I agree that it's generally not a good idea to set your expectations too high. I'm reading what you guys are saying, and I'll gladly pass it along, but at the end of the day I'm not the one building the product. There are lots of factors that go into product prioritization.
But the idea that the folks who build our products don't know or care about what publishers want is dead wrong. The thing to remember is that there are tons of sources of feedback and tons of publishers asking for tons of things. The challenge is trying to surface the stuff you all care about most so that we aren't just inundating the product team with a million different asks.
I'm not going to make you any promises. I will say that the more you all work together to prioritize what you want the most, the more likely you will be to influence the product. That's how things get done within Google too.
The result of a public "Google Adsense Idea Storm" may also be good for the search & advertising industry in general.
Please let us know how you think we could best prioritize things, other than the things we've tried on this forum for several years in lots of threads available.
I'm not going to make you any promises. I will say that the more you all work together to prioritize what you want the most, the more likely you will be to influence the product. That's how things get done within Google too.
It would be cool if the WW Adsense forum mod could create a poll with 5 prioritized topics that cover the most requested Adsense features.
This way, publishers could vote (without including their own, nitpicky caveats to the requests) and the most popular requests will surface.

Yes, it is.
But some people don't care what ads appear on their site as long as they earn the right amount of money from those ads.
It's just way more complicated than people seem to want to believe (I know some of the people pushing for this option DO know how it works, but seem to have forgotten). You have to get it in your head that this is NOT an auction, the "auction process" does not determine what gets shown.
I have nothing against having choices, and I think min. bids would be cool, but I hope people will really try to understand how the systems works NOW so they will understand what makes sense for the future features.
I suggest people think about the complexities by first considering the relationships between the information advertisers input (MAXIMUM bids), and the prices they actually end up paying.
I'm betting the majority of people in this thread aren't thinking through the complexity of the system.
..and thus if they get the feature, they will be disappointed because it simply will not provide the control they think it will.
There's other stuff involved with the idea that is really complex regarding what the system is set up to optimize and what happens to that system when it's pushed to optimize revenues in a different way, because the parameters change (ie. supplying some sort of minimum limit).
I'd like the choice, sure, but no illusions that this will solve problems that google has created due to its prior poor decisions (lack of supervising ad copy and destinations, not enforcing rules, not limiting the parking program, not having reasonable standards for publishers, etc)
You can't fix the publisher problems created by bad decisions, by adding a new feature. Honest, it won't work, and if you think about it, understand the system from both the advertiser and publisher (and google), you'll see the only way to solve "our" problems is a fundamental (not trivial feature) shift in policy about quality, enforcement, and yes, even to some degree scalability).
Then again, I've always believed that standards and quality (versus populism and quantity) are profitable. That's NOT the road google started on. I suspect CTR, and revenue will fall for everyone, as a NATURAL progression from policy positions.
sorry, this may be a bit abstract for people but the problems lie not in the implementation so much as policy issues, and that's why a feature can't fix them.
Why not just stop there and let Google worry about their bad choices in the past. I don't think publishers want to fix Google's bad choices in the past, they just want to stop selling clicks for less than they think their web sites are worth.
Because the problem -- selling clicks for less than they think their websites are worth, is a result of those previous choices, and can't be "undone" or fixed the way you think.
I'm with you on the goal. I've said elsewhere that as a result of poor quality ads (which I do believe tend to be correlated with low bids PLUS high clickability) we are cutting our adsense impressions by 50% as our next step. The poor quality ads aren't being clicked on by our visitors...
But what you folks don't seem to want to consider is this is NOT an auction, so therefore you can't reasonably control it via price minimums. Not to mention the conceptual/technical issue involved in integrating smartpricing, bids (and actual click rates, which are different), and the present algorithm which shows ads to maximize revenue OVERALL, not per click.
What you are asking (and Signor John hit it on the head) is for google to start over, because their system isn't created to make it possible for what you are asking to work for anyone.
Again, I hope we get the choice, I guess, but I suspect it's a really bad idea at this time, with the present policies.
AND, I think if google wants to revisit their models, principles and policies and essentially start over, they can solve the issues we all want solved in better ways than offering a minimum bid system which would require publishers to have a ph.d. in combinatorics.

Our Kona Bali Kai 2 Bedroom/2 Bathroom with Full Width Lanai Condominium is DIRECT OCEAN FRONT with an underhand rock toss to the sea wall. You can't get any closer and stay dry. If you want DIRECT Ocean Front, DIRECTLY in front of the most popular Island surf break in a TOTALLY remodeled unit at a great price you have found it.
Note: I am traveling until Sept. 10th.. I do not have cell phone access much of the time while traveling but I can respond to emails/accept bookings/block out dates, etc. on a daily basis during my trip except from 9/2-9/5. Deposits would be ran thru my 3rd party secure transaction company upon my return or you can book direct thru the VRBO site but the latter does have an extra fee by doing so.
Our late 2010 purchased condo underwent a complete (demo'd to block walls and rebuilt over a 3 month period) $75,000 remodel with the work managed by the retired Project Manager Owner. New custom cherry cabinets in Kitchen/Baths, Matching Granite slab counters, new front walkway windows and rear Lanai sliders, new custom tiled showers (Master bath w/ glass block enclosure), new patterned floor tile in Greatroom/lanai, new bedroom rugs, newer Samsung 52" flat panel High def. TV and Blue Ray player. Quality Casablanca Fans in each major room and 12,000 BTU AC unit. We also provide free long distance calls to the Mainland US/Canada and free Wifi.
The famous (site of frequent competitions) Banyan Surf Break is again DIRECTLY in front of our unit so you'll enjoy watching the surfers while relaxing on the lanai. Our unit is on the convenient 3rd building level with free ground level parking and no steps to unit with use of the elevator.
The Living Room and Master Bedroom each utilize floor to ceiling sliders accessing the spacious ocean front lanai. The new sliders are double glass so you can control the ocean surf noise level in the condo by opening or shutting the doors. Custom shoji type silhouette sliding glass panels (Unique to Kona Bali Kai) separate the Greatroom from the MBR.
The accessible coastline in front of Kona Bali Kai has tide pools and sandy areas - perfect for poking around on a lazy afternoon. Free propane fired outdoor barbeques are available for guests and a turtle (Hono) visitor or two is a frequent sight.
Condo square footing including lanai is about 1,000'. You will notice VRBO ads for KBK 2BR units show different sizes. All 2 BR KBK units are the same size to my knowledge! The interior is just over 800' and the full width lanai is about 200 square feet.
White Sands County Park is 1 mile south, Kahaluu snorkeling beach/bay is 2 miles south and there is a great small hidden beach a short walk away I'll tell you about in my client letter upon booking.
We live a mile south of KBK most of the year at an ocean view condo we managed as a vacation rental for 10 years before retiring and moving to Kona in 2009. We understand how important our guests vacation time is and do our utmost to provide a positive experience. You are dealing directly with the owners here (not a Property Management Company).
Important Note: VRBO/Homeaway instituted a new, "service" fee in Feb. 2016 for direct thru VRBO bookings. This service fee is collected and kept by VRBO (not the owner) and in my opinion does not benefit you, our customer.
For direct VRBO bookings VRBO charges me, the owner, a higher than market rate for credit card transaction fees.
To save money please click on the "owner send email" button (NOT the book it button) which directs you to the expensive, direct VRBO booking system.
After I receive your date request, etc. I will send you a proposal, usually within 24 hours, which will include no VRBO service fee, no refundable security deposit and savings on the posted nightly rate. I use a 3rd party provider for secure credit card transactions.
Note: If advertising owners don't agree to allow VRBO direct bookings they are severely "punished" by lower placement in the site rankings/searches which is why I currently allow it.
VRBO was recently purchased by Expedia. Many VRBO users and listing owners are very unhappy with the new Expedia/VRBO Marketing Business model.
We provide a detailed 16 page guest letter to our clients listing our favorite guide book and information on a host of our favorite beaches, day hikes and snorkel spots to help you with your vacation planning.
There is a Concierge available in the Kona Bali Kai lobby to help you with commercial excursions like Luau's, etc.
Sharon is a part time commercial artist specializing in tropical flower water colors. You will enjoy several examples of her paintings in the condo.
Master Bedroom has a full size king bed with nightstands and chest of drawers; 2nd BR has a queen bed with nightstands, dresser and 26' LCD TV.
If unit 305 is booked check out our sister condo @ Kona Bali Kai unit 219. Its listed under VRBO #490632. Unit 219 is just like 305 except a reverse layout and located 1 level below + a few units to the north of unit 305. Unit 219 welcomed our first client in Dec. 2013 after completion of an $80K+ full remodel.
Kindly take the time to read our client referrals - you will find them unparalleled!

Lynn Noffsinger (retired Intel Engineer) and Sharon Noffsinger (retired Elementary Educator) were able to achieve a long term goal by moving to Hawaii in early 2009. Our nearby residence (1 mile south from Kona Bali Kai) was a successful VRBO vacation rental (# 2767) for 10 years from 1999 to 2009. We understand the importance of our clients vacation time and make every effort to provide an outstanding value. Many of our former clients were repeat visitors or friends and family of previous clients.
Except when off island we accomplish all turnovers ourselves to insure the condo is perfect for your arrival.
Lynn Noffsinger purchased this condo in 2010
Direct oceanfront facing a world class surfbreak with the best climate in the world. What else can we say other than how do you spell Pina Colada??
First you need to make the impossible choice of enjoying the lanai view or hop in the rental car and go exploring.
For lunch why not utilize the provided ocean front barbecues or check out the small 'POKI Shack' take-out lunch spot next to the lobby for some island 'soul' food and a brewski?? Poki is the island version of Ahi (Tuna) sushi.
Across the street is a convenience store for those forgotten condiments, drinks and snacks.
A concierge is available in the lobby nearly every day to help you plan excursions and local events.
Free island bus service is available in front of the building along with a frequent $2/trip tourist shuttle into town and shopping.
Too many options, not enough time - recommend enjoying the lanai view and watching the surfers wipe out while you mull over options.
There is also a small, secluded sand beach with water access a short walk away I'll tell you about it in my Guest letter after you complete your booking.
"This Apartment was incredible. The ambiance and scenery were amazing and the sunsets on my goodness... The convenience of this location coupled with the activities in the neighboring community was all I needed. Great Apartment. Would highly recommend to anyone."
This is by far the best condo we have ever stayed at in the Hawaiian Islands. Totally updated and at the best location on the island. You get a surf show from dawn to dusk and it is as oceanfront as you can possibly be. Conveniently located for most island activities. The owners are very helpful and live nearby. We would definitely stay here again. I would give this six stars if I could.
We had a great stay at this condo. It truly was a home away from home only better thanks to the beautiful ocean view. The owners were very attentive to our needs. We will definitely stay here on our future visits to Kona. Thanks Lynn and Sharon for sharing your wonderful condo with us. It truly was the nicest condo we have ever stayed at.
This is as close to the ocean as you can get without being in it. Beautiful view and very nice unit made this a great vacation experience. Lynn was easy to deal with and very responsive to our needs. Thanks!
We have stayed at Kona Bali Kai three times, and this trip didn't disappoint. The condo is steps from the ocean, and our view from the lanai was spectacular. We were able to see whales from the lanai, as well as watch the surfers hop into the ocean right below our lanai, swim out to the waves, and surf on some of the best waves in the world. The condo itself is very comfortable, with a nicely upgraded kitchen and bathrooms, and the master suite was very comfortable. There is plenty to do on the Big Island, but if you feel like a quiet day at "home" there's no better place to enjoy a relaxing day than spending it on the lanai, coffee in hand in the morning reading a book and watching the ocean waves, and enjoying a glass of wine and spectacular sunset in the evening. We highly recommend the Poke Shack for a new culinary experience if you haven't tried it yet! We tried snorkeling for the first time, and enjoyed our first trip to Hilo. Don't forget to hike to the Green Sand Beach. It's an experience you won't forget! We are looking forward to another trip to the Big Island in 2018, and would enjoy staying at this condo again. Lynn was easy to work with and gave us many helpful tips on making the most of our stay on the Big Island. It truly is paradise on earth, and it's a privilege to have the opportunity to visit.
My wife and I just finished our second stay in this condo. We were first here in 2013 and enjoyed it so much that we knew we would return. The condo is very clean and modern. The lanai, which is my favorite spot to relax while at the condo, is nearly 30 feet from the ocean. One of the many great aspects of the lanai is that it is facing west and the sun is rarely bearing down on you. This makes it a very comfortable location in which one
can read, watch others surf, listen to the waves, or enjoy a meal at any time. When it comes time for sunset, you already have a first class seat.
The kitchen is fully stocked, which makes meal time easy. The convenience of having a washer and dryer in the condo is fantastic. The beds are very comfortable and loaded with pillows.
The condo is in a great location. It's close to a lot of activities and great places to dine. Da Poke Shack is located on the property, which is one of the local treasures everyone should try.
Lynn and Sharon are very helpful and live nearby. When we return to Kona again, we will definitely be staying here.
we greatly enjoyed our stay at Kona Bali Kai resort. Lynn, the owner, was very helpful and his information was bang-on!! Condo was clean and nicely upgraded and the location was perfect..fairly close to the downtown area but just far enough out that you were out of the downtown hustle and bustle and still close enough to take advantage of all Kona had to offer. had surfers put a show on daily right out our lanai, from 6 am to dusk.... Pool, hot tub, and Poke shack restaurant at complex are all great. Lots of sea life all along the coast and so many fish, turtles, and sea life right below our lanai that we were exploring daily right outside our door!! we toured most of the island and can't say enough about the abundance of activities the big island has to offer! we had 3 families in our group with the youngest a five year old, and we went hard for ten days...with everyone included...the island has something for everyone!!
we would recommend a car rental for the duration of your stay. be kind to yourself and pick it up at the airport and drop it off there on your way out...keep things simple..you're on holidays!!
Must see items for us:
Volcano park - be kind to yourself and stay overnight if possible...so much to see and do here that one day doesn't do it justice.
Waipio lookout and black sand beach - tough hike down and much tougher going up, but the black sand beach below is worth the effort. A one of a kind experience again, watch the surfers or just walk the beach..but don't forget your camera!!
Hwy 200 between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa - An otherworldly experience in the moonscape between these two peaks. highway is fantastic and the sights are like no other. many options for hikes and pics of different lava types and vegetation here. at the end is city of Hilo and all the culture and activities there.
Kohala Coast - with its white sand beaches, this area is great for the families with boogie boarding and body surfing, and all the sun and white sand. picture perfect!!
Green Sand beach- very walkable from parking area - about 45 min but bring good footwear and lots of water. also very windy everywhere here so be ready for a lot of sand, etc in face and eyes. beach is one of a kind so a must-do for us. we paid locals to drive us to beach..$100 for 10 of us was worth it. great surf beach but not great for unattended young kids. stop at coffee stop on road back to hwy...
read Lynn's newsletter- most valuable!!
Kona has the best climate in Hawaii/perhaps the world. Little rain and what there is comes mostly in the evening and nighttime. Enjoy waking up to sunny mornings and enjoying your direct ocean front Lanai.
Lots of beaches/ocean activities/golfing/restaurants and hiking to keep your days as busy as you want them.
When booking our condo we provide you with the name of our favorite guide book and our favorite activities with a 'difficulty' rating!

If only Chuck Daly could have been there with them.
Watch Spurs' Dejounte Murray throw off-the-backboard alley-oop to himself in pickup game
Just a suggestion for rookie Dejounte Murray: Don't do this in front of Gregg Popovich. You may not like his reaction.
That said, the Spurs needed to get more athletic this off-season — landing Pau Gasol certainly didn't help that cause — so enter first-round pick Murray, who pulled this off in a recent pickup game.
Murray is going to be brought along slowly in a backcourt where Tony Parker and Patty Mills will be splitting time at the point. Murray is more of a combo guard and is going to have to shoot a lot better than he did in college (28.8 percent from three) to get some run. But this is a situation where the Spurs can groom him, bring him along slowly, and see if they have another draft steal.
He's certainly got the athleticism.
Corey Brewer: "James (Harden) is going to play defense this year"
James Harden's defense is not as bad as its reputation.
Well, at least it wasn't two seasons ago — his near MVP season he was in good enough shape that he could put in a respectable effort on that end and still handle his massive offensive load. There were still some mental lapses, but his focus was better and his improvement lifted the team defense. Last season, he regressed back to youtube "highlight" defense Harden — his conditioning was not where it needed to be, he didn't expend as much effort on that end, and it showed.
Harden got a massive contract extension this summer, and Dwight Howard is Atlanta's problem — now Harden has to lead the Rockets. By example. Corey Brewer told ESPN you're going to see that on defense.
"I think this year he's going to play better defense, We're going to let the past be in the past. It's the future of the Rockets, man. James is going to play defense this year."
We're all Missourians on this one: Show me.
Remember that the Rockets will be out and running — Mike D'Antoni is the coach now, and Daryl Morey is going to get the up tempo ball he wants (which Kevin McHale had them doing, but Harden didn't like him so…). D'Antoni's teams in Phoenix played better defense than their reputation — points per possession they were middle of the pack — but that has never been his focus.
Will Harden be able to run like he needs to on offense and still defend at a reasonable level?
If he can, it's a big step toward the Rockets being a dangerous team in the West because if he does it others will follow. Otherwise, every Rockets game will be a shootout, which is entertaining but not going to get a team deep into the playoffs.
Watch Drake hit a half court shot while doing a situp
I can see the questions on Twitter/in the comments already so let me save you some time.
Because it's summer.
Because it's Drake (he's a celebrity and an NBA hanger-on with some quasi-official position with the Raptors).
Because Stephen Curry did it, too.
Because what other hoops are you watching on a late August afternoon?
And besides, you clicked on it. You know you want to see it.
So here it is, Drake, hitting a halfcourt shot while doing a sit up. Enjoy.
Mario Chalmers says he's cleared to play
Mario Chalmers was thriving with the Grizzlies after a midseason trade from the Heat when a torn Achilles ended his season.
Not the way Chalmers wanted to enter free agency.
Still unsigned, he says he's progressing.
Can he go 100%, though? If not, when?
A few teams could use another point guard. If Chalmers shows his health, he belongs in someone's rotation. But that might require taking a low-paying deal and working his way up from the third point guard spot – or even just onto the regular-season roster.

Memphis is a rather affordable city.
Starting a new life in a different part of the country can be an exciting experience, but you need to figure out where to go first. If affordability is your primary requirement, there are plenty of places throughout the nation that may be exactly what you need. Low costs of living can help make your stay affordable and enjoyable, and it can give you a new perspective on life in America.
Springfield, Illinois
The capital of Illinois may be a good place to bring your moving containers, as it has one of the lowest costs of living in the nation. Citing data from the Council for Community and Economic Research, Kiplinger noted that Springfield has a median household income of approximately $47,000, while the average home price is less than $211,000. This can be a great option if you want to move near Chicago, but don't want to deal with the expenses that come with the city.
Wilmington, Delaware
If you wish to live in the Washington, D.C. metro area, but don't want to be in more expensive cities such as the district itself, Baltimore or Philadelphia, then Wilmington may be a good option. The median salary for those who just graduated college is nearly $60,000, according to Forbes. The city also has a low unemployment rate compared to the national average.
The cost of living ends up being slightly higher than the national average, the source noted, citing Sperling's Best Places, but the high salary for those exiting college may make it worth it. Being so close to other major cities may make this a possible destination for those who don't want to live right next to their job.
Memphis, Tennessee
If a move to Tennessee is more attractive to you, then checking out Memphis as a possible destination may be the right decision. The city is large - more than 650,000 people - so there's always something to do. However, according to Kiplinger, the median household income is less than $37,000, while the average home price is slightly more than $180,000.
The city is a notable business destination, and also has a unique and long history. In addition, it's on the banks of the Mississippi, which can make the city and its surrounding area quite scenic.
Warren, Michigan
The metro Detroit area is recovering well from the housing market collapse, and you may find plenty of places in the area with a high level of affordability. One of these options is Warren, which is one of the largest cities in the state of Michigan. The unemployment rate is still a bit higher than the national average, but the salary for college grads is more than $58,000 on average, Forbes explained. This may make a move worthwhile if you get a job offer in the Detroit area.
The city is only 20 minutes from Detroit, and this may make driving to work more affordable. There is also low cost of living in Warren, the source noted.
Fayetteville, Arkansas
If you are looking for a city that is away from the busy life of a major metro area, then Fayetteville, Arkansas may be for you. The city is the home of the University of Arkansas, which makes it a great college town destination.
The median household income is $37,113, while the average home price is approximately $228,000, Kiplinger explained. It is also near the Ozark National Forest, which can make for a great sightseeing destination and perfect for outdoor activities.
