Maui: The Neighbor Islands' No. 1 Economy -- Is Maui Real Estate next?
November 18, 2012 - Ray Tsuchiyama
As anybody who has seen the Wailea hotel construction, the Kihei Safeway shoppers, and the tourists along Front Street in Lahaina, Maui among all the Neighbor Island "County" island micro-economies that make up the Hawai'i State GSP (Gross State Product, rather than the U.S. GDP) ranks first -- according to First Hawaiian Bank's 2012-13 Economic Forecast* report by Hawai'i economist Dr. Leroy O. Laney. In fact, he paraphrases the Maui visitor slogan and states that Maui is "No Ka 'Oi".
Maui Weekly on Dr. Leroy Laney's Robust Maui Economic Forecast
Dr. Laney points to three critical factors as underlying the Maui economic boost: "stronger job creation, a continued robust visitor industry and growing strength in construction". In other words, Maui is providing jobs to job-seekers, hotel occupancy is near-full (not back to the mid-2000s visitor count, but still tremendous), and new hotels and commercial malls are going up. He adds that housing is following on the heels of hotel and commercial development (e.g., the Courtyard by Marriot next to Costco's and the Kahului Airport, the Maui Business Park Phase II, Andaz Wailea hotel, Maui Lani Village Center); the economist states: ". . . there has been a striking 350 percent increase in private construction permits on Maui for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same quarter of 2011".
The Oahu micro-economy, which dominates the collective Hawai'i economy, has been firing on "all cylinders" boom since earlier this year, with summer real estate statistics reflecting strong demand and higher prices. Star-Advertiser: Oahu home, condo prices continued climbing in July 2012 For example, in May 371 Honolulu condominiums were sold, up 12 percent from 290 sold in May 2011. The median price for Honolulu condos rose to $300,000, up 3.4 percent from a year earlier.
In July 2012 the median price for Honolulu single-family homes rose 7.4 percent to $635,000 from $591,000 in the same month last year. July's median was the second-highest this year, after $664,000 in May. In the Honolulu condo market, the median sale price surged 15.5 percent to $320,000 in July from $277,000 a year earlier. The July figure was the highest this year, after $319,000 in April and represented the biggest year-over-year gain on a percentage-point basis. Also in July the sales numbers were also positive. There were 265 single-family home sales in July, up 5.6 percent from 251 sales a year earlier. There were 364 condo sales, up 21.3 percent from 300 in the same comparable period. Then by this fall, the Honolulu market was seen as "constrained".
In last week's Star-Advertiser article entitled "Tight Home Inventory Dampens Oahu Market" Star-Advertiser: Tight Home Inventory Dampens Oahu Market November 2012, the SA writer sees buyers hunting for new homes amidst a shrinking number of sellers: " Oahu's housing market has been constrained this year by low inventory as relatively few homeowners put their property up for sale even as the market gains strength. And something similar can be said, too, of the market for new homes." As Oahu moves into winter and even better economic indicators, there is now a dis-connect between demand (high and getting higher daily) and supply (smaller and getting smaller daily).
Since Oahu's real estate got its boost from a resurgent economy, what about Maui? Last April I wrote about a "cautious" Maui upturn, as Oahu was showing signs of real estate uplift that proved strong enough to sustain into the summer and fall.
Maui News Blog: The Next Cautious Hawaii Real Estate Upturn (April 2012)
Now, it is harder to extrapolate Maui real estate trends, since comparing Maui, an island of 155,000 residents, and Oahu (950,000) is like comparing apples to oranges, or mangoes to breadfruit. However, the principle of a robust and growing economy translates to a faster absorption of inventory (commercial, industrial, residential) quicker, so the recent positive economic data points must mean something is in the air. One factor that played in Oahu's housing market recovery was the faster resolution of foreclosures, and that was still a factor in the Maui market well into this year. This October over a dozen bank owned Maui properties were sold (almost all single family homes) – vis-à-vis 40 bank owned properties that closed in October 2011 – a startling 60% drop in bank owned transactions.
Simply, the Maui 2012 sales numbers were higher in the spring compared to 2011, then more-or-less followed the slow summer dip of 2011, until this fall, when September (<200) to October (<250) suddenly spiked. Historically, October 2012 was the busiest since the mid-2000s, which was still feeling the good effects of the 2000's pre-Lehman shock and pre-Aloha Airlines bankruptcy real estate wave. More data points:
98 Maui homes sold in October (traditionally a "slow" month, with Maui realtors anticipating a swarm of activity of buyers in the winter) with a median price of $487,000. Year-on-year, last October, there were 74 homes sold. So year-on-year, sales volume did increase -- 28%. As an impressive data point, three sales occurred in the Kapalua Plantation Estates high-end residential community – which is remarkable, given there were barely two dozen sales in the same area in the last ten years. Also, 94 condos sold in October. Last October, there were 77 condos sold. So year-on-year, sales volume did increase -- 22%.
There were only 7 Maui land sales reported. Year-on-year, sales volume decreased, as in October 2011 8 sales were reported. October was one of the slowest months for land sales, but may present a hidden message of a up-coming switch of focus to vacant land.
The bottomline for buyers, sellers and realtors is whether the 2012 Fall issue of Oahu's shrinking inventory will migrate to Maui sooner than later, or is it happening already now in November 2012?
In order for this to occur, there must be buyers offering close-to listing prices with favorable closing conditions in offers to sellers (without onerous financing language in the contract). If outside buyers surge into the market in the week after Thanksgiving, from Canada and the Northwest, they will start colliding with each for the same property, and this may start the end of 350/500-day property listings, especially in the higher-end. Foreclosed properties will be even fewer, and there may be a psychological boost with waves of visitors, and Oahu buyers looking for deals and investment properties, believing this may be the calm before higher prices next year.
On a final hypothetical note, will Maui vacant land be the sleeper market leader during the next year? The reason is that if there is not enough inventory or sellers not lowering prices, some buyers may give up and look to vacant land, and start building new homes, creating their own inventory, and also simultaneously boosting the economy.
*Hawai'i economist Paul Brewbaker pointed to the magical date of October 26 2012 as the start of the next surge of high prices and sales – at a real estate talk on Kauai in 2005! So he may be the Nostradamus of Hawai'i real estate.

"Turn Me Loose: The Unghosting of Medgar Evers" by Frank X. Walker (The University of Georgia Press, 2013, $16.95)
Frank X. Walker's "Turn Me Loose: The Unghosting of Medgar Evers" is a bold and courageous book of poems celebrating the life of the Civil Rights legend, Medgar Evers. Medgar Evers, who was the head of the NAACP in Mississippi, was shot to death in his own driveway on June 12, 1963. The assassin was named Byron De La Beckwith.
In this book of poems, Walker utilizes several speakers to tell the story of Evers. The speakers of the narrative are Byron De La Beckwith, Evers' assassin; Beckwith's two wives, Willie and Thelma De La Beckwith; Medgar Evers' brother, Charles; Evers' widow, Myrlie Evers; and a final, anonymous voice that offers supplemental commentary. Medgar Evers himself does not speak.
Article Photos
The volume opens with "What Kills Me," a poem in which Myrlie Evers laments a common misconception about when the Civil Rights Movement began. She is upset "when people talk about the movement/as if it started in '64.'" She explains that this erases her husband's entire life's work: "It means he lived and died for nothing./And that's worse than killing him again."
In poems such as "Rotten Fruit" and "Humor Me," where Byron De La Beckwith is the speaker, Walker reveals the insidious nature of Beckwith's racism and how these beliefs shape his plan to assassinate Evers.
In "Swamp Thing," Willie De La Beckwith describes a nightmare in which her marriage to her husband is a force as dark as the history of racism itself:
I was chained to something as big
and long and dark as Mississippi herself.
Magnolia trees were bleeding. The floor
was turning to marsh beneath my feet.
The poem "Husbandry" stands in stark contrast to "Swamp Thing." In "Husbandry," it is Myrlie Evers who speaks of the inner nobility of Medgar Evers as she says, "I fell in love with his desire to take his fear/make Mississippi something stronger out of it."
In "After the FBI Searched the Bayou," speaker Myrlie Evers reminds us not only of the murder of the young Civil Rights activists Goodman, Schwerner and Chaney but also of the anonymous dead: "When they unearthed/each new corpse,/we couldn't speak for days."
When Byron De La Beckwith speaks in "After Birth," he reveals the origins of his plan to assassinate Evers by comparing it to the way a woman conceives a child: "Like them, a man can conceive/an idea, an event, a moment so clearly/he can name it even before it breathes." Walker continues Byron De La Beckwith's narrative with "Anatomy of Hate" wherein the speaker divulges his complex and inexplicable hatred of the black race. This poem stands in stark contrast to the generosity of spirit displayed by Myrlie Evers in "On Moving to California." She says, "Standing up for truth and justice/is much harder than marrying silence."
The volume moves toward its conclusion as Myrlie Evers speaks in "Evers Family Secret Recipe," where the recipe requires not only to "add commitment and determination, massage out doubt and fear" but to also act as a citizen: "now vote." In the final poem of the volume, "Heavy Wait," Walker compares the state of Mississippi to an elephant: "For Mississippi to love her elephant self,/she must ask for, extend, and receive/forgiveness." He adds, "But she must never ever ever forget."
And we, too, must not forget in the year 2013, exactly 50 years after Evers's tragic assassination. As we read "Turn Me Loose: The Unghosting of Medgar Evers," we resurrect the memory of a man whose life's work has helped to shape our continuing struggle for a better country, a better world.

Holstein Association USA Holds 128th Annual Meeting in Indianapolis
Holstein Association USA Holds 128th Annual Meeting in Indianapolis
Holstein Association USA members met for their 128th Annual Business Meeting on July 10 and 11, as a part of the 2013 National Holstein Convention in Indianapolis, Ind. President Chuck Worden presided over the meeting, during which members heard reports from the president, CEO and treasurer, discussed current issues relating to the breed and Association, and delegates elected new officers and directors to the board.
State of the Association
Members in attendance heard reports presented by President Chuck Worden and Chief Executive Officer John M. Meyer, highlighting current Association and industry issues, and discussing where the Association's sights are set for the future.
Worden began by reflecting on the opportunities he has had as an officer of Holstein Association USA to travel the world and see the influence U.S. genetics have on the global Holstein population. "These opportunities gave me the chance to see and understand how our GTPI® has become the 'gold standard' for genetic indexes around the world. It also made me realize how many of our friends and allies look up to Holstein USA for leadership." He continued, "As the largest dairy breed organization in the world, it is up to us to help raise all breed associations up and support their efforts to lead their dairy industries and serve their members. Establishing and maintaining the importance of breed organizations around the world helps strengthen us all."
Addressing the changing dynamics of our industry, Worden stated, "The use of genomics as a selection tool hasn't changed the need to collect large amounts of phenotypic data, but it may change what data is used and the way in which it is collected. We must work to preserve the system we have and find ways to protect our unbiased gold standard. Continuing to improve the quality of all data used in the system will help raise the reliabilities of our genomic predictions."
In his State of the Association address, CEO Meyer highlighted some key areas of Association performance in 2012. "The momentum of steady increases in registrations continues," Meyer reported. "Registrations totaled 362,669, up 2,520 over 2011 totals. It is interesting to note that ten years ago in 2002, we registered 315,488 head. Because of you and the world's most profitable cow, the U.S. Registered Holstein®, registrations have increased 47,181 in the last ten years."
The Holstein COMPLETE® program continues to expand," he continued. "Evidence of the ever-increasing popularity of COMPLETE is shown by the 281,359 cows enrolled, representing a ten percent increase."
Another exciting statistic reported was 2012's increase in members. "One of the best barometers for measuring the success of a member organization is to look at new membership growth. New adult membership rose by three percent, as we welcomed 629 new adult members, and junior membership increased by eight percent, as 966 juniors joined our ranks. These numbers bode well for the future of this great Association!"
Meyer closed on a positive note, saying, "When you get right down to it, the Holstein Association is not just a cow business; it is a people business. The majority of you have gained much more from the Holstein Association than is recorded on the dollar side of your own operation's ledger or that of your Association. Through the Holstein Association, you have gained friends you may have never met without your common interest in Registered Holstein cattle. Many of these special friendships will last a lifetime."
"You have gained fond memories of cattle, people, places, special events, national conventions, and experiences that are not available to the uninvolved," Meyer continued. "The greatest gain, however, might be in the personal satisfaction each and every one of you has from the knowledge that you have contributed to the well-being and improvement of the United States Registered Holstein herd, which is the most coveted in the world!"

Elected to his first three-year term on the board was Mark Kerndt, Iowa, representing Region 6.
Resolution Adopted by the Membership
One resolution was put before the delegate body for adoption, in appreciation of the Indiana Holstein Association, and it was met with a unanimous round of applause.
"Whereas, the Indiana Holstein Association, in preparation for the Holstein Association USA, Inc. 128th Annual Meeting and National Convention, has organized a special week filled with activities that started with tours to outstanding Hoosier dairies, a popcorn farm, a cheese factory, and an RV factory, and has arranged for us to experience the famous Indy Victory Circle, where race winners celebrate with milk, and,
"Whereas, our Indiana Holstein Association hosts have been generous with their knowledge and time, and have been cordial, courteous, and kind,
"Now, therefore be it resolved, that the Holstein Association USA's Board of Directors, delegates, members, and staff congratulate the Indiana Holstein Association for their achievements this week and,
"Be it further resolved, that the Delegates of this 128th Annual Meeting and National Holstein Convention honor and thank each and every volunteer of the Indiana Holstein Association for making this an out-of-the-ordinary and extremely pleasant week!"
No bylaw amendments came before the delegate body this year.

Senate votes to extend ethanol tax credit
Senate votes to extend ethanol tax credit
Yesterday, the U.S. Senate approved (81 to 19) the big tax package that extends Bush-era tax rates and includes a number of other measures. One of those measures would extend the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit (VEETC) for one year at the same 45 cent-a-gallon rate. There had been talk of reducing the so-called blenders tax credit to 36 cents a gallon but no action was taken on that proposed amendment.
The Senate also bill also keeps the ethanol import tariff at the current 54 cents a gallon.
The bill now will move to the House for its approval.
The ethanol community lauded the Senate action, of course. The lobbying had been intense. In the end, groups such as the Renewable Fuels Association pitched extension of the tax credits and tariff as a "jobs" bill, saying that any legislation harmful to the ethanol industry would result in many job losses at a time when unemployment is high.
Already, there had been a change in the tone of support among groups that support renewable fuels. There had been talk of taking some of the "tax credit" money, an estimated $6 billion-a-year impact on the Treasury, and directing it toward subsidizing an improved ethanol transportation and distribution system. The money would be used for pipelines and to encourage gasoline companies to install more pumps dedicated to ethanol blends.
So, the heavily subsidized ethanol industry may well continue to put upward pressure on the price of corn and all other feeds priced off of corn. In an analysis released last month, the Center for Agricultural and Rural Development (CARD) at Iowa State University projected the impact of three different ethanol scenarios on corn prices during 2011. If the EPA mandate, tax credits, and the import tariffs all were in place, which seems more likely now, corn would be $5.21 a bushel. If there was only the ethanol mandate in place, corn would be $4.86. If there were no ethanol programs in place, corn would be $3.84.
The tax package also would reinstate the $1-a-gallon biodiesel tax credit that had expired at the end of 2009. Several biodiesel plants had shut down this year due to the impact of the loss of that tax credit.
At the CBOT, March corn closed yesterday up just over 2 cents per bushel to $5.86. January soybean changed only slightly and closed at $346.40 per ton.

Garmin Forerunner® 310XT Multisport Trainer w/HRM-010-00741-01-010-00741-01-CAItem#: GAM-101773056 | Model#: 010-00741-01-CA
Currently Out Of Stock!
Garmin Forerunner 310XT Multisport - 010-00741-01 Product Details
Part #: 010-00741-00
Finally, a GPS-enabled training device that isn't afraid of the water. The rugged Forerunner® 310XT is the triathlete's indispensable training tool - a GPS-enabled trainer that is water-resistant to 164ft (50m), tracks data in multiple sport modes and sends it wirelessly to your computer. This multisport device has up to 20 hours of battery life, tracks distance, pace and heart rate on land, and goes from wrist to bike in seconds.
Track Your Swim
The Forerunner® 310XT times your swim in the pool or the lake. And while the GPS signal does not track distance while swimming like it does on land, thanks to a recent software update, it now accurately estimates open water swim distance and average speed. Simply enable the Swim mode and press start as you begin your swim. When finished, press the lap button and the 310XT automatically processes a combination of the time and GPS data to compute an estimate of distance covered and average speed while swimming.
Transition Effortlessly
When you're ready to jump out of the water and onto the bike, Forerunner®: 310XT moves easily from wrist to bike with the optional quick release and bike mounts, making the transition between sports effortless. Forerunner® 310XT categorizes multisport activities in one workout and also can log transition time in the process, so you can analyze your performance from start to finish.
Collect Without Data
Forerunner® 310XT tracks your position precisely with GPS satellite data and records distance, pace, heart rate, power data (from ANT+T-enabled third-party power meters) and more. High-sensitivity GPS and HotFix® satellite prediction mean Forerunner® acquires satellites quickly and tracks your movement even near tall buildings or under tree cover. And using innovative ANT+ wireless technology, Forerunner® 310XT connects seamlessly to an optional heart rate monitor, foot pod and cadence sensor.
When paired with the optional wireless heart rate monitor, Forerunner® 310XT continuously tracks beats per minute and uses heart rate data in advanced calorie computation. Train in a certain heart rate zone to improve fitness and monitor your level of exertion. *NOTE: Heart rate data is not recorded for swim activities.
Monitor Your Health
You also can track weight, body fat, body water and six other measurements when using the Forerunner® 310XT with the Tanita BC-1000 body composition scale. The readings are stored on Forerunner® 310XT, then automatically sent to Garmin Connect™ when in range of your computer.
Run, Sync, Store & Share
Once you've logged the miles, innovative ANT+ wireless technology automatically transfers data to your computer when Forerunner® is in range. No cables, no hookups. The data's just there, ready for you to analyze, categorize and share through our online community, Garmin Connect™.

On Tuesday in Pittsburgh, the Major League Baseball playoffs got underway and on Tuesday in DeLand the Stetson baseball team got underway with its fall practice. The Hatters hope the experiences gained by a plethora of freshmen playing in 2013 will pay dividends and lead the 2014 team back to the collegiate version of MLB's postseason.
Highlights of the fall practice include a contest this Sunday night at 6:30 p.m. at Melching Field against the Canadian Junior National Team and the annual Hatter Series. That intrasquad event will run from Nov. 5-7 if it is a best-of-three format and Nov. 1, Nov. 3 and Nov. 5-7 if it becomes a five-game series. The annual alumni game is set for Nov. 8. The team will hold a series of scrimmages as well, scheduled for Oct. 4, Oct. 9, Oct. 18, Oct. 20, Oct. 25 and Oct. 27.
"We've had some good pre-team practice days with individual workouts and conditioning," head coach Pete Dunn said of the squad he'll take into his milestone 35th season at the helm of the Hatters. "The kids have been working extremely hard in the weight room and I think that's going to pay big dividends in the spring. This is what we've been waiting for as a team, to be able to come out and do things in game-like conditions."
Always green is a literal sense, a year ago, the Hatters were green in a figurative sense as well, starting freshmen all over the field. Kevin Fagan and Patrick Mazeika earned Freshman All-America honors and were joined on the A-Sun All-Freshman team by right-handed reliever Tyler Warmoth. However, it doesn't mean the season was without growing pains. The youth impacted how Dunn did everything, down to setting up drills for so many new faces. This fall, Dunn has noticed already that things are a bit more back to normal.
"We have a number of new kids, but the majority have at least one year under their belt," he said. "You hope the guys who have gone through last year and previous years can show that leadership to the new guys. More people know what we're doing and every drill we go through.
"Every bunt defense or first-and-third defense, we don't have to teach it from the first day on. You've got guys out there who can help the young guys understand and show them how it's done. Last year it was difficult because we had so many freshmen out there that were learning every day."
One more player the Hatters are thrilled to welcome back is fifth-year pitcher Kurt Schluter. An All-American in 2012, the 2011 Atlantic Sun Pitcher of the Year and a 2012 Boston Red Sox draft pick, Schluter missed almost all of the 2013 campaign due to injury but was able to earn a medical redshirt and return to the team.
In addition to a sterling career on the mound, highlighted by an 8-0 record and 1.40 ERA in 2011, Schluter has shown his versatility by playing first base and posting a .295 career batting average at Stetson. One of the biggest question marks Dunn will have to work through this fall is just how best to deploy this multi-faceted weapon, which was sorely missed from his arsenal in 2013.
"We're happy to have Schluter back," Dunn said. "Having him back out there is a huge benefit. We're looking to get performances out of him, on the mound, with the bat and at first base. We're going to use him more than just on the mound this year. He's 100-percent healthy now and that's going to really help us. I know he's happy to be back out there and contributing.
"The biggest question mark in his case is do we start him like we have in the past or do we put him on the backside of the game and use him as a closer? We know he's done well as a starter before but he may be just as effective or maybe more effective as a closer. We're going to use him with those roles this fall. If we play him as we think we're going to, both with his bat at the plate and use him some at first base, then closer might be the more logical way to go."
While Stetson wrapped up its 2013 campaign at a disappointing 26-31, sliver linings abounded and history is now on Stetson's side too. The last time that the Hatters suffered a losing season, going an eerily similar 27-31 in 2010, the team rebounded in 2011 to go 43-20, capture the A-Sun championship and advance to the NCAA tournament.
It is time to turn the corner, and Dunn's many years of experience, leading the Hatters to 16 NCAA tournaments and 29 winning seasons, will prove invaluable. Much of that comes with physical maturity, experience and improved technique. A lot of it can be a matter of the right mentality too.
"Obviously we were a very young team last year, and it showed, but we can't use that excuse anymore," Dunn said. "We've got some new guys that came in, but all those freshmen we had last year are now sophomores and a year older. We can't point to that and say 'mistakes of youth'.
"They've got a year under their belt and you can't point at them. Even though they're only sophomores, you can't say they're really young because they had baptism by fire last year when a lot of the freshmen had extensive playing time. They need to come back as seasoned veterans now. You can't look at it any other way."
Thankfully, Dunn will have very few holes to fill in his 2013 lineup. Only two seniors, outfielders Mitchel Brennan and James Rasmussen, are gone from the regular positional starters in 2013. The starting rotation returns intact, and even augmented with the return of Schluter. The bullpen is also in solid shape, losing just Joe Dye and Chad Rood.
Some new faces will have to be sprinkled into the mix. A very talented 10-man signing class has come into the fold, eager to prove themselves and fight for roles on the field. The competition will only make Stetson a better baseball team and lead to a more interesting fall for the ball club.
"At the end of the fall, as coaches, we want to have a pretty good grasp of what our starting lineup could be," Dun said. "You're not going to have it nailed down, but we hope we know a lot more about our team. We've got some guys who were injured, who spent all summer rehabbing, and we need to see that they're 100-percent and ready to go again."
But, overall, Dunn remains optimistic for the 2014 Hatters.
"I think we have a chance to be a pretty good club," he said of the big picture.

Back when "fusion" wasn't yet considered a dirty word within the popular music vernacular, drummer Billy Cobham participated in several landmark recordings which brought non-swing rhythms and electric instrumentation to jazz. Cobham was picked by Miles Davis for recording sessions that would eventually yield such game-changing albums as "Bitches Brew." Cobham later helped to found the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Within the context of that group, Cobham helped to blur the perceived lines between progressive rock, jazz and world music, in the process opening the minds of rock audiences during the high-volume sets. (The Mahavishnu concert recorded for radio's King Biscuit Flower Hour in the 1970s documented a show at the Century Theatre and is regarded a milestone in our area's concert history.)
Cobham later put together Spectrum, and released an album widely held to be one of the more dynamic and musical offerings of the first great wave of jazz fusion. To mark that album's 40th birthday, Cobham has assembled Spectrum 40, a band centered around his dynamic and dramatic drumming, and aided by the considerable contributions of Jerry Goodman on violin, Dean Brown on guitar, Gary Husband on piano and Ric Fierabracci on bass. The collective plays at 8 p.m. Saturday in the Tralf Music Hall (622 Main St.). Tickets are $26 advance, $29 day of show (box office, Ticketmaster).

Product DescriptionFew firearms ever earn the level of respect the Browning BPS boasts. The BPS has a solid reputation for long-lasting durability and an uncanny ability to keep on working in spite of what Mother Nature does to stop it. This shouldn't come as a surprise because the BPS has what most other pump shotguns don't-features like rigid dual machined steel action bars, a forged and machined steel receiver, a convenient top-tang safety and bottom ejection for ambidextrous operation, and legendary Browning balance and handling. 12 and 20 gauge BPS shotguns include the interchangeable Invector-Plus choke tube system. 28 gauge and .410 bore BPS shotguns include the Standard Invector system.

Rated 5 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by thewall79 unbeatable value and quality I've had this glove for about five years and have used it for about 450 games at first and it is just now getting to the point that I'm noticing its getting a little floppy. Thing is... The pocket is still perfect and I've never had a glove fit so perfect, so im just relacing it. I've used an a2000 before and I'd choose this over it any day, and it's 40 dollars cheaper. I didn't have mine steamed so that may be why mine is still alive, I feel like the steaming takes some life out of the glove, plus needing to break in a new glove is the best excuse to drop all of your responsibilities for a little while. Seriously though, this mitt beats any other and the price is way low for the quality. August 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Icubed Great fit and feel! This glove feels great and was ready for play right out of the store with the STEAMER technology applied. Went from the store to playing catch with my son and it felt like my glove that I had played years with. October 29, 2014

Live Nation Comedy and the Charleston Music Hall are excited to present Anthony Jeselnik on Friday, April 4. Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $29.50 and go on sale Friday, Feb. 21 at 10 a.m.
The Music Hall has been trying to get Jeselnik for a stand-up set as part of their Stand-Up Series since first seeing him on the Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump. Jeselnik adds bite to a series chock-full of talent, such as; Aziz Ansari, Mike Birbiglia and Jeanne Robertson. Jeselnik is described by Nathan Rabin of A.V. Club as the "Satanic prince of stand-up, a black-hearted joke-slinger with a ferocious and unstoppable will to power." Needless to say, Anthony Jeselnik will be a hilarious mix of aggression and wit.
With appearances early in his career on Conan, The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Anthony Jeselnik was poised to take the stand-up crown. His kingship was solidified with two successful seasons of his own show, The Jeselnik Offensive, on Comedy Central. His resume is rounded out with an Emmy nomination for his work on A Night of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Concert For Autism Education, and an hour-long special, Caligula, which recieved critical acclaim. Anthony Jeselnik is sure to keep the whole hall laughing when he takes the stage this April.
