United States District Court, D. Columbia
October 25, 2005.
ROBERT E. QUINN, MICHAEL H. HOLLAND, MOHAMMED A. SHARBAF, Defendants.
Pending before the Court are several motions filed by
defendants Robert E. Quinn and Michael H. Holland ("defendants")
and the government related to the availability and admissibility
of evidence in this criminal matter, which involves charges of
violating the U.S. trade embargo with Iran. Because the
background of this case was outlined at length in the Court's
Memorandum Opinion of October 21, 2005, no further rehearsal is
required here. For the reasons that follow, the Court will: (1)
grant in part and deny in part defendants' motion to compel the
government to produce evidence they assert the prosecution is
obligated to disclose under Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83
(1963); (2) defer ruling at this time on defendants' request for
a hearing on the admissibility of testimony about alleged
co-conspirator statements; (3) deny defendant Quinn's motion to
suppress portions of his post-arrest statements to federal
agents; (4) defer ruling on the government's motion under Rule
404(b) of the Federal Rules of Evidence to allow testimony about
statements allegedly made by the defendants, and defendants'
related motion to exclude the government's proffer of defendants'
alleged false statements; and (5) deny defendant Holland's motion to exclude statements made to federal
agents by Quinn and defendant Quinn's motion to exclude
statements made to the agents by Holland, in light of the
government's pledge to refrain from eliciting testimony from the
agents about statements made by either defendant that tend to
implicate the other.
I. Motion to Compel Government Disclosure of Purported
Brady Material
Defendants have asked this Court to order that the government
immediately produce the following evidence, which they assert the
prosecution must disclose under Brady and its progeny: (1) all
statements made to law enforcement officers by David Tatum, Clark
Material Handling Company's ("CMHC") executive vice president for
parts; (2) "any information that would tend to mitigate the
potential sentences faced by the defendants in the event that one
or both are convicted of an offense charged" (more specifically,
as defendants stated in a letter to the government, they request
information about prior cases involving enforcement of trade
embargoes, including information about civil settlements and
pleas agreements, see Defs.' Mem. Supp. Mot. to Compel at Ex.
D); and (3) "any statements that the government intends to
introduce at trial as coconspirator statements under
Fed.R.Evid. 801(d)(2)(E)." See Defs.' Mot. to Compel at 1-2.
As the Brady rule has developed over time, it has come to
constitutionally require state and federal prosecutors to
disclose to the defense even without request any evidence
that is in the possession, custody, or control of the government
and is favorable to the defendant with respect to questions of
guilt (which includes information that is exculpatory, as well as
information that might be used to impeach a government witness)
or punishment (that is, information that might mitigate the potential sentence). See
generally United States v. Tarantino, 846 F.2d 1384, 1416
(D.C. Cir. 1988) (stating the rules of criminal due process
articulated in Brady and subsequent cases). The government must
disclose Brady information in sufficient time that the
defendant is able to "use the favorable material effectively in
the preparation and presentation of its case." United States v.
Pollack, 534 F.2d 964, 973 (D.C. Cir. 1976). Furthermore, "[t]he
existence of a [federal prosecutor's] duty to disclose witness
statements at trial pursuant to the Jencks Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3500,
does not eviscerate the government's Brady obligation to
disclose witness statements well in advance of trial if portions
of those statements also fall under Brady." See United
States v. Hsia, 24 F.Supp. 2d 14, 29 (D.D.C. 1998).
The Brady rule does not come into play, however, unless the
favorable information is "material" to guilt or punishment. That
means the information must be more than simply relevant, but it
is not limited to information that is dispositive. The Supreme
Court has explained that Brady's materiality standard requires
that there be "a reasonable probability" that disclosure of the
information to the defense would have led to a different result
in the proceeding. See Kyles v. Whitley, 514 U.S. 419, 433-34
(1995). Framed in prospective terms, the materiality prong of
Brady requires advance disclosure to defendants of any
information that, if presented to a jury, would likely be given
substantial weight in deliberations as to guilt or punishment.
"It is the government's responsibility in the first instance to
determine whether information in its possession" meets this
materiality standard. See Hsia, 24 F.Supp. 2d at 30. But, as
another judge of this court has said, "courts in this
jurisdiction look with disfavor on narrow readings of the
government's Brady obligations." Id.
In this case, the government has agreed to turn over all of its
"Jencks material, including witness statements," one week before the start of trial, which
now is scheduled to begin as early as November 28, 2005. See
Gov't Opp. to Defs.' Mot. to Compel at 5. This would seem to
encompass both the first and third items sought in the
defendants' motion: all statements by Tatum (who is expected to
testify at trial) and the statements of any witness who might
testify about out-of-court declarations made by alleged
co-conspirators.*fn1 Although the government asserts that
none of these statements contain exculpatory material, it does
not deny the possibility that defendants will find impeachment
information therein. See id. Impeachment material is not as
readily identifiable as is potentially exculpatory evidence or
sentence-mitigating evidence, but Brady nonetheless brings such
information within its ambit. If the government is in possession
of any material that would substantially undercut the credibility
of one or more of its witnesses, that information is covered by
the Brady duty to disclose. See United States v. Bagley,
The government contends that, to the extent material in its
possession contains information that could be used by the defense
for impeachment of prosecution witnesses, disclosure one week
prior to trial fulfills the government's Brady duty. See
Gov't Opp. to Defs.' Mot. to Compel at 5. There are no
hard-and-fast rules by which courts can decide what constitutes
timely pre-trial disclosure of Brady material, and this Court
does not have authority to create such a rule. The Court also is
mindful that its role is not "to `referee . . . disagreements
about materiality and supervise the exchange of information.'"
Hsia, 24 F.Supp. 2d at 30 (quoting United States v. McVeigh,
954 F.Supp. 1441, 1451 (D. Colo. 1997)). Nevertheless, in light of the exigencies of this trial which the parties
anticipate could last as long as two weeks and taking into
account that the government has not offered a compelling
justification for continuing to withhold witness
statements,*fn2 the Court will order the government to
transmit to defendants all witness statements that contain
potential Brady material two weeks in advance of the start of
trial. In practical terms, this means the government will be
required to surrender the information just one week earlier than
it had planned, but it will ensure that defendants have ample
time to review the material for possible use at trial.
As for the second item sought by defendants government
information about prior cases involving enforcement of trade
embargoes and related civil settlements and pleas agreements
the defendants fall short of the requirement that they
demonstrate such information would be material to sentencing.
Defendants' demand amounts to an exceedingly broad discovery
request for government records and data. The government is
correct that Brady does not require it to "serve as the defense
team's research arm." See Gov't Opp. to Defs.' Mot. to Compel
at 6. The Court's conclusion is informed, in part, by its reading
of cases dealing with an analogous area of the law efforts by
criminal defendants to obtain information needed to raise a
selective-prosecution challenge. In the leading case on the
subject, United States v. Armstrong, 571 U.S. 456 (1996), the
Supreme Court held that, before a defendant can obtain discovery
in aid of his selective-prosecution defense, the defendant first
must make a credible showing that the government has treated
differently others who were in similar situations. In
Armstrong, the Court expressed significant concerns about
"divert[ing] prosecutors' resources" by ordering the government to "assemble from its own files documents which might
corroborate or refute the defendant's claim." Id. at 468.
Before a court should require that to be done, the defense must
come forward with some evidence to legitimize its inquiry, the
Court said. Although the present situation is not perfectly
analogous to that presented in Armstrong, such a
credible-showing prerequisite seems equally appropriate in the
context of a motion to compel disclosure of alleged Brady
material relating to differential treatment, where production of
the information would require a not-insignificant expenditure of
prosecution resources. Here, the defendants have failed to make a
convincing case that their request would turn up any material
that would be relevant to, let alone mitigating of, sentencing.
Therefore, the Court will deny defendants' second Brady
II. Defense Request for Hearing on Admissibility of Testimony
About Alleged Co-conspirator Statements
In their Brady motion, defendants also request that the Court
hold a pre-trial hearing to determine the admissibility of
statements by alleged co-conspirators that the government may
seek to offer at trial through the testimony of others, as
permitted by Fed.R.Evid. 801(d)(2)(E) (excluding from the
hearsay rule out-of-court statements made by a co-conspirator
during the course and in furtherance of the conspiracy). Such a
hearing would be for the purpose of testing whether the
prosecution can establish by a preponderance of the evidence as
a precondition of admissibility under Rule 801(d)(2)(E) that
the defendants and the declarant(s) were con-conspirators and
that the statements being offered were made during the course and
in furtherance of the conspiracy. See Bourjaily v. United
States, 483 U.S. 171, 175-76 (1987).
It is, in some circumstances, advisable to hold a hearing on
801(d)(2)(E) admissibility in advance of trial, but that practice often is impractical and
overly burdensome for witnesses particularly where the alleged
conspiracy that forms the basis for admission of the statements
also forms the basis for one of the criminal offenses
charged.*fn3 Indeed, in cases where defendants face a
conspiracy charge, a hearing on the admissibility of
co-conspirator statements has the potential to devolve into "a
`mini-trial' out of the presence of the jury to determine once
and for all whether the government will present sufficient
independent evidence of the conspiracy to the jury." See
Jackson, 627 F.2d at 1218. Here, the government, in response to
the Court's earlier dismissal of the purported conspiracy charge
under 50 U.S.C. § 1705(b), has now obtained a superseding
indictment charging the defendants under the general federal
conspiracy statute at 18 U.S.C. § 371. The Court, therefore,
believes that the proper course is to consider the request for a
Rule 801(d)(2)(E) admissibility hearing closer to the time when
such statements might be offered at trial, when the relevant
issues will be better focused and developed than they are now.
That is not to say that the Court will, at that time, find it
necessary to hold a hearing before ruling on 801(d)(2)(E)
admissibility. See Jackson, 627 F.2d at 1218 (observing that,
where "witnesses are in possession of both hearsay testimony of
co-conspirators and evidence that independently tends to prove
the existence of the conspiracy," it might be more expeditious to
admit the evidence "subject to connection," rather than to hold a
separate admissibility hearing, in order to avoid "taking the
testimony of such witnesses piecemeal"); United States v.
Edelin, 128 F.Supp. 2d 23, 45-46 (D.D.C. 2001) ("A hearing to
make an advance determination of conspiracy is unnecessary for the Court's determination by a
preponderance of the evidence that a conspiracy existed.").
Rather, the Court simply is concluding that it is premature, at
this preliminary stage of the proceedings, to decide whether to
hold such a hearing. Thus, the Court will defer ruling on
defendants' motion at this time.
III. Motion to Suppress Quinn's Post-Arrest Statements as
Violative of Miranda
Defendant Quinn has moved for the suppression of portions of
his post-arrest statements because, he contends, they were
elicited in violation of his Fifth Amendment right to have the
assistance of counsel during a custodial interrogation. See
Def. Quinn's Mem. Supp. Mot. to Suppress at 1, 4. Both the
defendant and the government agree that the relevant legal
standards are provided by Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436
(1966), and its progeny. The only meaningful dispute involves the
facts surrounding the questioning of Quinn by federal agents at
the courthouse in Lexington, Kentucky, in the hours after his
arrest on December 28, 2004, and prior to his initial appearance
in court.
At the motions hearing held on October 14, 2005, the Court
heard testimony about the relevant events from the two agents who
questioned Quinn following his arrest, Special Agent Scott
Douglas of the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and
Security and Special Agent Richard Reinhold of the Bureau of
Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Each testified that Quinn
signed a waiver of his Miranda rights before they began the
interrogation, and each provided an account of Quinn's subsequent
invocation of his right to have an attorney present. They
testified separately that Quinn's refusal to answer questions
without a lawyer was prompted by an attempt to show him documents
that they said contradicted his statements. Each stated that they
immediately refrained from showing Quinn the documents or asking
him about them, and that, once the documents were put away, Quinn reaffirmed his
willingness to continue to answer their questions without an
attorney present (i.e., he re-waived his Miranda rights).
Quinn, who was, by all accounts, the only other person present
during this exchange with the agents, chose not to testify at the
hearing. Instead, Quinn's lawyers, in an effort to impeach the
agents, offered the testimony of Quinn's two daughters, who
witnessed Quinn's arrest at his home and had interactions with
agents Douglas and Reinhold at that time. Although the daughters'
testimony conflicted to some extent with the agents' accounts of
the events that occurred at the Quinn home, those inconsistencies
were not, in the Court's view, sufficient to undercut the
credibility of the agents with respect to what happened after
they left the house, went to the courthouse, and there questioned
Quinn. The Court, lacking a sufficient basis to find that the
agents' testimony was incredible, and having before it no
contradictory testimony about the events surrounding Quinn's
invocation of his Miranda rights with respect to questioning
about documents and his subsequent affirmance of a willingness to
continue answering questions, cannot conclude that Quinn's
statements following that limited invocation and renewed waiver
were obtained in violation of his Fifth Amendment rights. Hence,
the Court will deny defendant Quinn's motion to suppress those
IV. Government Motion to Admit Statements into Evidence under
Rule 404(b)
The government has moved in limine, pursuant to Rule 404(b)
of the Federal Rules of Evidence, to admit testimony by federal
agents about allegedly false statements the defendants made
during interviews. See Gov't Mot. to Admit 404(b) Evid. Rule
404(b) provides that "[e]vidence of other . . . acts . . . is not
admissible to prove the character of a person in order to show
action in conformity therewith," but it "may . . . be admissible
[to prove] motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, or
absence of mistake or accident." The government contends that the
statements demonstrate "consciousness of guilt" on the part of
defendants and, therefore, should be admissible because evidence
of prevarication "comes under the inclusionary provision of Rule
404(b)" to the extent that the deception is probative of
consciousness of guilt. See United States v. Johnson,
46 F.3d 1166, 1171 (D.C. Cir. 1995). In making this motion, the
government appears to be anticipating and attempting to
pre-empt a defense challenge to the admissibility of the
The government, however, misapprehends the function of Rule
404(b). The rule categorically precludes one particular theory of
relevance the so-called "propensity inference" (i.e., that a
person's past actions reflect a particular trait of character,
which, in turn, makes it more likely that the person acted in
conformity with that trait on a particular occasion) and it
goes on to emphasize the narrowness of the restriction by
offering examples of other proper theories of relevance under
which the same evidence may be received. See United States v.
Crowder, 141 F.3d 1202, 1206 (D.C. Cir. 1998) (en banc). But
"compliance with Rule 404(b) does not assure admission" of
evidence. See id. (emphasis added) (citing Huddleston v.
United States, 485 U.S. 681, 688 (1988)). That is to say, even
if past-act evidence were offered for a proper purpose under Rule
404(b) such as the one the government suggests it still would
be subject to objection under Rule 403, which excludes relevant
evidence if "its probative value is substantially outweighed by
the danger of unfair prejudice, confusion of the issues, or
misleading the jury, or by considerations of undue delay, waste
of time, or needless presentation of cumulative evidence." See Fed.R.Evid. 403.*fn4
Simply put, the Court cannot "admit evidence" under Rule
404(b), as the government requests; rather, it can, at most, make
a determination that Rule 404(b) is not offended by the admission
of evidence. But, as the government's position on this issue
demonstrates, even that may be unnecessary in this circumstance,
where the defense has yet to object to admission (on Rule 404
grounds or otherwise). That is because the government contends
that exculpatory statements made by a defendant to a
law-enforcement officer have independent probative force as
circumstantial evidence of guilt, when presented along with
evidence contradicting the truth of the assertions. See Gov't
Mem. Supp. Mot. to Admit 404(b) Evid. at 9, n. 6. In other words,
the government asserts that the statements are relevant, and
therefore admissible, irrespective of their tendency to show
defendants' "consciousness of guilt." Specifically, the
government asserts that the defendants' denials that they had any
knowledge of CMHC products being sent to Iran via the United Arab
Emirates are directly probative of an element of the charged
crime: knowledge of illegality.*fn5 If the Court were to
agree with the government's theory of admissibility, Rule 404(b)
would be irrelevant because the only basis on which defendants
could object to admission would be "that the evidence is
`unfairly prejudicial, cumulative or the like, its relevance
notwithstanding.'" See Crowder, 141 F.3d at 1206-07. The fact that Rule 404(b) requires prosecutors to give
defendants pre-trial notice of intent to use evidence of prior
acts, crimes, or wrongs does not make it proper for the Court to
admit such evidence in limine, as the government asserts. See
Gov't Opp. to Defs.' Mot. to Exclude Proffer at 6. That provision
of the rule simply ensures that defendants will have an adequate
opportunity to prepare an objection on Rule 404 grounds; here,
however, defendants have not yet made such an objection.
Thus, the Court will defer ruling on the government's Rule
404(b) motion to allow the agents to testify about the
defendants' exculpatory statements and the defendants' related
motion to exclude the government's proffer of defendants' alleged
false statements.
V. Confrontation Clause Objections to Use of Co-defendants'
A. Quinn's Statements
Defendant Holland has requested, pursuant to his Sixth
Amendment right to confront witnesses against him, that the Court
exclude any testimony by federal agents about statements that his
co-defendant, Quinn, made during interviews with the agents. To
the extent that any statements by Quinn, as recalled by the
agents, would be testimonial evidence by Quinn against Holland,
the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment requires the
Court to prohibit their use at trial. See Crawford v.
Washington, 541 U.S. 36, 59 (2004) (prohibiting the use of
testimonial out-of-court statements by an unavailable declarant
unless the defendant has had a prior opportunity to cross-examine
the declarant about the statements); United States v. Brodie,
326 F.Supp. 2d 83, 94-95 (D.D.C. 2004) (citing Bruton v. United
States, 391 U.S. 123, 137 (1968)) ("[W]here two defendants are
tried jointly, the pretrial statements of one may not be admitted
against the other unless the confessing defendant takes the
stand, even if the jury is instructed not to consider the statements against the separate,
implicated defendant.").*fn6 The government, however, is
entitled to introduce Quinn's statements as evidence against
Quinn without offending the Sixth Amendment.
Where the government has elected to try defendants jointly, the
Court must take care to ensure that any out-of-court statements
by one defendant are used as evidence only against that
defendant, and not against the co-defendant. The Supreme Court,
in Bruton and subsequent decisions, has said that it is
insufficient for a Court simply to give a limiting instruction to
jurors, admonishing them to use out-of-court statements by one
defendant only against that defendant, if the statements either
directly incriminate the co-defendant or do so by obvious and
immediate inference. See Brodie, 326 F.Supp. 2d at 95-96
(citing Richardson v. Marsh, 481 U.S. 200, 209 (1987), and
Gray v. Maryland, 523 U.S. 185, 186 (1998)). If, however, a
statement can be redacted to avoid any potential to inculpate the
co-defendant aside from the attenuated inference of guilt by
association, which the jury is instructed is impermissible in
joint trials then the co-defendant has no Sixth Amendment
objection. See id.*fn7 In this case, the government has pledged to delete from the
agents' report of Quinn's interview all references to statements
by Quinn that mention Holland, and to correspondingly limit all
testimony by the agents. See Gov't Opp. to Def. Holland's Mot.
to Exclude Quinn Statements at 2. The Court concludes that this
deletion and limitation, along with an admonition from the Court
to jurors that they may consider Quinn's statements as evidence
against Quinn alone, eliminates any Sixth Amendment objection
that Holland may have to testimony about Quinn's statements to
the agents. Hence, the Court will deny defendant Holland's motion
to exclude testimony by the agents about Quinn's statements
B. Holland's Statements
Defendant Quinn has lodged a nearly identical objection to
testimony by the agents about out-of-court statements made by
Holland that tend to implicate Quinn. Once again, the government
has pledged to sanitize Holland's statements so as to eliminate
any incriminating references to Quinn. See Gov't Opp. to Def.
Quinn's Mot. to Exclude Holland Statements at 2. The government
has said it will delete entirely two of the three statements made
by Holland that mention Quinn. See id. (offering to delete
Holland's purported statement to agents that "he didn't think
[Quinn] was aware of any companies in Iran either"); Gov't Resp.
to Def. Holland's Reply Mem. at 2 (stating that the government
would not in any way use Holland's purported statement that
"Quinn . . . passed on the information regarding the Dubai
customer"). Additionally, the government has proposed to edit a
third purported Holland statement to remove any reference to
Quinn. See Gov't Opp. to Def. Quinn's Mot. to Exclude Holland
Statements at 2 (proposing to redact Holland's statement that he "remembered conversations in
late 2003 with Dave Tatum . . . and Quinn" during which "Tatum
told Quinn and Holland to `not sell to Iran'" as follows:
"Holland remembered conversations in late 2003 with Dave Tatum. . . .
According to Holland, Tatum told Holland to `not sell to
Iran.'"). For the reasons stated above, the Court finds that
these modifications to Holland's statements remove any concern
about Quinn's Sixth Amendment rights and, therefore, the Court
will deny Quinn's motion to exclude testimony by the agents about
Holland's statements.
Holland, however, raises a separate objection to the proposed
redaction of the third statement.*fn8 He contends that, by
allowing the government to edit the statement as it has proposed
and by, correspondingly, limiting testimony by the agents about
the content of the statement, the Court would violate the rule of
completeness. That rule prohibits the admission of a redacted
statement "where admission of the statement in its edited form
distorts the meaning of the statement or excludes information
substantially exculpatory of the defendant." See United States
v. Singh, 973 F.Supp. 7, 15 (D.D.C. 1997) (quoting United
States v. Washington, 952 F.2d 1402, 1404 (D.C. Cir. 1991)).
Holland says the proposed redaction has just such an effect,
rendering his statement about his conversations with Tatum more
inculpatory of him than it would be absent redaction. See Def.
Holland's Reply Mem. at 2. The Court, however, does not believe
that removing references to Quinn from the statement distorts its
meaning or excludes substantially exculpatory information. To the
extent the statement is inculpatory of Holland, it would not be
any less so (nor would it become exculpatory) if Holland could
also show that Quinn was a party to the 2003 conversation with Tatum. Indeed,
one might view the full statement, drawing both Quinn and Holland
into the conversation, as more inculpatory of Holland on the
conspiracy charge. Therefore, the Court will overrule Holland's
objection to the proposed redaction and will permit testimony by
the agents consistent with the government's proposal.
For the foregoing reasons and based on the entire record, the
Court will (1) grant in part and deny in part defendants' motion
to compel the government to produce purported Brady material;
(2) defer ruling at this time on defendants' request for a
hearing on the admissibility of testimony about alleged
co-conspirator statements; (3) deny defendant Quinn's motion to
suppress portions of his post-arrest statements to federal
agents; (4) defer ruling on the government's motion to admit
statements into evidence under Rule 404(b) and defendants'
related motion to exclude the government's proffer of defendants'
alleged false statements; and (5) deny defendant Holland's motion
to exclude statements made to federal agents by Quinn and
defendant Quinn's motion to exclude statements made to the agents
by Holland. A separate order has been issued on this date.

The client needed some graphics to be added to a report, which could explain the end-to-end flow of their software, in an exciting and visually appealing fashion.
The client's tech does some amazing magic with numbers, making it easy for data analysts to explore data and produce beautiful reports. Most of the competition produced reams of reams of complex, dull text and uninspiring graphics. We chose to keep the visuals simple to reflect the beautifully crafted software, and ease of use of our solution.
I'm English, however I studied Mandarin for several years, working in East Asia as an interpreter, market researcher and field salesperson, so it was fantastic to be involved with this assignment.
The client had developed an innovative fantasy football app for the Premier League and wanted to capture registrations from Chinese speakers. I translated their marketing copy into Simplified and Traditional Chinese. The purpose was to help with the app launch on iTunes and Google Play.
In all seriousness, this assigment was the Special One! The unique value of this fantasy football management app is that it brings the vernacular of match-day banter to life. It was essential to capture the vernacular of football in the translated copy, so that people would realise that this app was exciting in a way that incumbent apps lacked.
From a personal point of view, I never understood the appeal of football, until I started using this app. It's brought the game alive for me.
I continue to help this client with SEO services, whenever I can, to help them to reach Chinese audiences on Asian social networks and search engines. They may not be familiar names to Westerners, but familiar names like Google and Facebook don't really figure among Chinese netizens, even Chinese ex-pats. Search engines like 百度 Baidu, 好搜 HaoSou, 搜狗 SouGou, 微博 Sina Weibo, 人人 RenRen, WeChat, QQ空间 QZone are the how the majority of Chinese use the Internet.
Military spouses have a tough time finding work. Being moved from place to place, they need to find new work regularly to support themselves and often their children. Sometimes they will find themselves discriminated against, when employers are concerned about taking on someone, who might need to move away at short notice.
In 2014, together with the help of a recruitment agency set up by military spouses for military spouses, we set about to change that, by creating a pilot course for 100 spouses.
Many spouses are unaware of the potential opportunities in new media industries. The featured video is the very first week of our first pilot course, incorporating instructor-led and self-paced online training. The course could be described as 'zero to hero', designed to appeal to people who had no prior knowledge about the range of careers available in the creative, technology and digital marketing domains.
Our curriculum specifically covered web development, social media marketing and ethical hacking. Over a seven week duration, the delegates gained an overview of the industry they were entering, including a detailed understanding of the daily workflow. They acquired hands-on skills by following exercises designed personally for their circumstances and experience. Finally, we coached them through marketing themselves and gaining employability.
Interestingly, of the three topics covered, web development was the most popular, perhaps because of the creative aspects of the role. I was delighted to hear about our first job placement which happened just two weeks into the programme: the delegate had landed a dream job, and was absolutely brimming with excitement.
I am still actively developing training courses, and able to deliver, produce or license them to interested parties.
The client already had a UI and a fully-featured application. An exciting application that helps data analysts automate their daily grunt work. The legacy UI was a little confusing in places and inconsistent.
The client had conducted focus groups with end users, and documented the feedback thoroughly. There were a number of issues to resolve, and what made the assignment particularly engaging was that different user types had very different priorities and needs. They ranged from business managers, to quants analysts.
Working iteratively: I created personas in order to highlight the different needs of the various users; I created hundreds of conceptual wireframes which I then classified into different themes, epics and user stories. Wireframes were reviewed with the business analysts and developers. Feedback was incorporated, ideas emerged and designs evolved.

Thanks for helping!
Peking Garden is a very clean place to eat and the food is always very good and the service is always fast. They have some good soup and if you like hot and sour it is the best I have ever got and always hot.
I've been a patron of Peking Garden for several years. Even though I don't go as often as I used to because I moved farther away, I come here instead of some closer places because the food is delicious. The restaurant will make adjustments to your order to suit your spice preference which is very nice.
Everyone at the restaurant...
We had lunch on a Wednesday and the best part is that it wasn't crowded, plenty of seat. The waiter was friendly and attentive. They food comes with tea and soup, we had the egg soup, my husband loved it. We had the pork fried rice and low main and it was amazing, one of the best i have ever...
This is a fantastic restaurant! The sweet and sour dishes and Gen Tso is the best I have had in traveling domestically and abroad. Who knew? In Japer GA??? This is a place you have to eat if you come here. And the family who runs it is very accommodating. They allowed us to customize our special.
We had dinner for 4 with three adults and two children. The service was great, people were nice and attentive. The food was delicious and plentiful. The price was lower than I expected. We will be dinning there from now on for all our Chinese food.
My husband and I go here for dinner a couple times a month. Delicious food!! Great service also. I love the general tos chicken.
My Husband and I visited this little treasure while in the mood for Chinese. We were greeted by a very nice hostess, and were seated promptly in a booth. The Chinese waiter appeared within seconds and we soon had a pot of tea and water on our table. Extensive menu. Our food was delicious and our waiter was very attentive....
Waiters and staff very friendly and prompt and place is clean. Food quality for Chinese food away from large metro areas like Atlanta is OK for the price points.
Love this place. Great food and great service! The employees are very nice and its a great place for the family.
This is our go to place for Chinese. The food is always well prepared and the service is good too. The waiters always cut up with our kids.

Peptide Competition and Phosphatase Stripping. Extracts of CHO-T cells transiently transfected with wild-type human IRS-1 and treated with 100 ng/mL TPA for 30 minutes were resolved by SDS-PAGE on a 10% Tris-glycine gel and transferred to PVDF. The membrane was blocked with a 5% BSA-TBST buffer overnight at 4°C and either left untreated (2-6) or treated with lambda phosphatase (1), then incubated with the IRS-1 [pS312] antibody for two hours at room temperature in a 3% BSA-TBST buffer, following prior incubation with: no peptide (1-3), the non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphopeptide immunogen (4), a generic phosphoserine-containing peptide (5), or the phosphopeptide immunogen (6). After washing, the membrane was incubated with goat F(ab"e;)2 anti-rabbit IgG alkaline phosphatase (cat. ## ALI4405) and signals were detected using the Tropix WesternStar™ method. The data show that only the phosphopeptide corresponding to IRS-1 [pS312] blocks the antibody signal, demonstrating the specificity of the antibody. The data also show that phosphatase stripping eliminates the signal, verifying that the antibody is phospho-specific.

Insulin receptor substrates (IRS) are responsible for several insulin related activities, such as glucose homeostasis, cell growth, cell transformation, apoptosis and insulin signal transduction. Serine/threonine phosphorylation of IRS-1 has been demonstrated to be a negative regulator of insulin signaling and is responsible for its degradation, although IRS-1 degradation pathways are not well understood. IRS-1 has also been shown to be constitutively activated in cancers such as breast cancer, Wilm"e;s tumors, and adrenal cortical carcinomas, thus making IRS-1 phosphorylation and subsequent degradation an attractive therapeutic option. To date there have been four subtypes identified: IRS-1,2,3, and 4, with IRS-1 being widely expressed.

Pentax Optio Z10
Dennis Hissink : August 23th 2007 - 00:00 CET
Pentax Optio Z10 :
Pentax is pleased to announce the Pentax Optio Z10, a compact digital camera equipped with a high-magnification 7X optical zoom lens that is convenient for various photography scenes. The Pentax Z10 is equipped with 7X optical zoom lens, the highest magnification among current Pentax compact digital camera models, built in a small and lightweight body of easy mobility. In addition, the Pentax Optio Z10 has a high resolution of 8.0 effective Megapixels, and features shake reduction that allows stress-free telephoto photography, and face recognition with high-speed detection time. In all, the Pentax Optio Z10 is a model that everyone can easily enjoy photography with high magnification and high image quality.
Pentax Z10 camera - Zoom lens
The new Pentax Optio Z10 digital compact camera includes a 7X optical zoom lens that covers focal lengths from 6.3 to 44.1mm (equivalent to 38-266mm for 35mm format) and features a refraction lens system so the lens never protrudes from the Pentax Z10 camera while zooming. This optical zoom covers a broad range, from wide-angle to telephoto zoom, and when used together with digital zoom, ultra high-magnification photography of up to approximately 35.7X is available.
Pentax Optio Z10 compact camera - Face Recognition and Resolution
The Pentax Z10 is equipped with the "Face Recognition AF&AE" function that automatically adjusts the focuses and sets the exposure, so users can take the photos of people easily and beautifully, by letting the camera do the work. In addition, this function can detect the faces of up to 15 peoples at once, and the detection time has been reduced to approximately 0.03 seconds at minimum. The Pentax Optio Z10 delivers high resolution photos that look sharp even at large magnifications, thanks to its 8.0 effective Megapixels and high performance Pentax lens, which precisely captures images down to the finest details.
Pentax Optio Z10 digital camera - Camera shake and Sensitivity
Digital SR (Shake Reduction) mode reduces camera shakes and blurring of the subject when photographing still images. The sensitivity is adjusted automatically, to as high as the ultrahigh sensitivity of ISO 3200, to match the brightness of the subjects. This enables photography with fast shutter speeds, and images with less blurs can be obtained. In addition, an electronic shake reduction function corrects blurring in images during image playback.
Pentax Optio 10 digicam - Scene photography
The Auto Picture mode lets the camera automatically determine the shooting conditions for Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene, and Normal mode and choose the optimum settings for each subject. This function makes photography a lot easier for users since it eliminates the necessity of making a number of individual settings.
Pentax Optio Z10 digital compact camera - LCD display and Video recording
The Pentax Optio Z10 comes with a high resolution, a 2.5-inch LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 pixels that enables images and the text to be displayed largely and clearly. The LCD monitor has a wide viewing angle of 170 degrees from all directions, making it easy to confirm images, even when looking at the screen diagonally. The Pentax Optio Z10 smoothly captures movies at 30fps (frames per second) at sizes up to 640 x 480 pixels with image quality rivaling camcorders. In addition, Movie SR (Shake Reduction) function that effectively corrects in images due to camera shakes through software, allowing for movies to be taken more easily and without hassles.

Nightcrawlers (Lumbricus terrestris) are a popular bait for bluegills, bass, trout, catfish, carp and perch. Scouring toughens up nightcrawlers so that they stay on the hook better and can be cast farther distances. Many fishermen scour nightcrawlers before using them for bait.
Place the nightcrawlers
A plastic quart yogurt container is a good spot to put the worms and the bedding. Punch slits in the lid so that air can get in the container, but don't make the slits very wide, so that not much moisture will evaporate.
After several days the worms will have ejected all of the castings (digested dirt) in their intestinal tract into the bedding. They will be slightly smaller in size. Their skin will glisten. They will be tougher and stay on a hook longer than before. They will be scoured.
The classic bedding for scouring is damp sphagnum moss. Fresh green sphagnum moss is best, if you can obtain it where you live. Sphagnum moss is also sold commercially as peat moss
Use fresh grass clippings if you have trouble obtaining sphagnum moss. This is my favorite bedding to use for scouring a small number of nightcrawlers, because it is easy to obtain and works well. Look for an unmowed patch of lawn and tear off the clippings when you need them. Don't used browned or dried clippings that have been in the sun. The grass clippings must be damp, but not so damp that water collects in the bottom of the container, which will kill the worms. Usually if there is dew on the grass when you harvest it, that is enough moisture. Otherwise, wet your hands and sprinkle the grass with water. Place the nightcrawlers on top of the grass clippings and close the container. They will work their way down into the grass clippings.
Nightcrawlers will stay alive for a week or two in scouring bedding, although there is no food in the bedding material (except for a little bit in commercial peat moss) so they lose weight and are less valuable as bait. The best thing to do is only scour a dozen or two nightcrawlers at a time, when you know that you are going to use them as bait.
Store-bought Nightcrawlers
Store-bought nightcrawlers will usually already be scoured, depending on the bedding they are sold in. Open the container before buying the nightcrawlers, and make sure that they are lively and firm. If they are lively and soft, buy them anyway and scour them. If they are not lively, don't buy them.

Payback time? Fallback plan? Money in the bank? What would you ask the CEO of a company you were considering investing in? In advance of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada convention in March, newsletter writers Keith Schaefer, Eric Coffin and Lawrence Roulston are bringing energy and mining companies together for a "meet the management" Subscriber Investment Summit in Toronto. In this interview with The Mining Report, the experts share their sometimes surprising responses to the state of the industry.
The Mining Report: Keith, in a recent e-mail to your subscribers, you mentioned that one of the secrets to successful investing is meeting the management. Would each of you share some of the questions you ask company heads to determine if they can be successful?
Keith Schaefer: I am very focused on paybacks. When a company drills a well, I want to know how long it takes for that well to pay for itself. In the larger oil sector, anything that has less than a two-year payback is good, but in the junior sector, where I play, payback needs to be no more than 15 months.
You could ask for the net back, or profit per barrel, or the net present value [NPV] or the production rate. But that doesn't matter as much as the payback-how fast you get that money back so you can drill another well. That is, by far, No. 1. The information that goes into that answer encompasses the answers to many other questions.
The other big questions are how much money the company has and how big a deadline it has. How much liquidity does the company have before management has to raise money again? Those would be questions I would ask management out of the gate.
TMR: Do the secondary questions inform the first question? If a company is well funded is the payback time as important?
KS: Regardless, I want to see a 12-15 month payback. If management tells me it has a two-year payback, and it's a really small company, that just doesn't work. If the payback is right, I'll ask how much the wells cost, and how much money is in the bank, because I can do some pretty simple math to figure out the next time the company will need to raise money. But if a company doesn't have a 15-month payback and is really small, I don't care to hear anything else about them.
TMR: Eric, what do you want to know?
Eric Coffin: Life is not so simple at Hard Rock Co., unfortunately. Obviously, how much money a company has is very important. It tells us how fast that company will need to go back to market.
But I need to know the background of management, and what kind of projects the management team has been involved with. I like to see that team members have had hands-on exploring experience. Some guys are very good at running exploration projects successfully, and others not so much.
I also want to hear about the target, the geological model, the upside if this works out and the fallback position if it doesn't. Most of the time, the fallback position is either secondary projects and/or cash in the bank, so the company can go look for something else. You need to get an idea of the scale potential. If a company has a $20 million [$20M] capex and is drilling for 200-300,000 ounces [200-300 Koz] gold equivalent, there's just not a lot of upside there. I want to see that, if management is successful, there's a significant amount of upside. Explaining the target gives me some comfort that management knows what it is doing.
TMR: When it comes to a fallback position, do you like to see companies with multiple projects in the pipeline, or would you rather see them focused on just one project?
EC: I like to see other projects in the pipeline. There is some truth to the idea that you can try to do too many things at once. If I see a company that constantly switches over to whatever is hot that week, I basically just ignore it. I like to see that company management has a concept and a philosophy, like "We look for copper-gold porphyries," or "We're focused on epithermal gold projects." I like to see other properties advancing to drill target stage while the main property actually is being drilled. That gives shareholders a stronger fallback position, because exploration isn't going to work out on most projects. That's just the math.
On the other hand, I like to see that a company has two or three projects it can fall back on, not 15 or 20, with management running around in circles. But if a company is focused on just one property, and if I really like the targets, I'm not going to be afraid of the company. I just know it comes with a bigger downside if the drilling doesn't work out. You have to understand that going in. If that's the case, the target has to be that much bigger.
TMR: Lawrence, what do you ask to determine whether a company will be successful?
Lawrence Roulston: Beyond all the basic questions about the financial situation, the project and management's background, which are all important, I need to know whether management has the drive and determination to overcome the endless obstacles on the road to success. You can only get that sense if you talk to the people behind the company; spend a bit of time and get to know them.
Unfortunately, this industry has evolved away from old-style compensation, where members of management had low salaries and big stock positions, thereby aligning their interests with shareholders. We've moved way too far toward big salaries. There are a lot of people out there who are more interested in protecting their salaries than in adding shareholder value. Those intangible, subjective measures are critical to determining if a company will be successful.
TMR: What do you want to see in a CEO's background? Would you rather see someone from finance/business, or a geologist?
LR: Mining requires some very specialized skills. A person also needs to be an entrepreneur. If someone has had a big success in the past, that can be a plus, but it's also really exciting to find the young guys who are going to be the stars of next year. Both business and geology are important. A good company needs a well-rounded team that can cover all the bases.
TMR: The three of you are putting together a Subscriber Investment Summit the day before the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada [PDAC] convention in March. You have picked a number of companies to present at the summit, and be available to talk to investors. The three of you will be there talking to investors and companies as well. Can each of you tell me why you picked the companies you did, and about the catalysts that make these companies worthwhile for investors?
KS: A company has a novel way of treating wastewater. In addition to purifying the water so it can go back into the ground, the company extracts every little bit of energy from that water. That means any kind of oil, animal or plant residue. The company has the ability to shake that residue out, chemically separate it and create fuel. So it gets paid to take in the wastewater, and it gets paid to sell the fuel. So far, the company has two operations up and running.
This process is new and looks to be very cheap. Management has a very aggressive growth program, so the proof is going to be in the pudding on this one very quickly. The company has a very exciting story that they're going to test within the next two quarters.
TMR: What are some companies that will be at the Subscriber Investment Summit?
KS: One of them is Manitok Energy Inc. (OTC:MKRYF) [MEI:TSX]. It is a conventional oil play with a lot of gas. Now that gas prices are starting to move up, the company has been given a huge bonus. Manitok has a lot of leverage because even at very low gas prices, its wells were paying out in 8 to 10 months. It still has very low valuation despite the fast payback, so it is something that investors should know about.
TMR: Does it also have an advantage because it has a conventional well and doesn't have to deal with the depletion rates that some of the fracking wells have had?
KS: That's right. You are looking at very low depletion rates compared to fracked wells. A tight shale well could decline 65% in year one; these guys are closer to 40%. It makes a big difference in how many times you can pay the well back over the course of the life of the well. It is a big advantage.
TMR: What other companies will be at the Summit?
KS: Entrec Corp. (OTC:ENTCF) [ENT:TSX.V] is a call on oil sands development and liquid natural gas [LNG] development. The company is holding its own doing oil sands work, but if the government in British Columbia gets its fiscal framework set for LNG, Entrec owns the largest crane company in northwest British Columbia, and would be a huge beneficiary. I think the company would be a top stock for a pop once LNG gets going.
TMR: Eric, you have a couple of companies you've invited?
EC: I have followed Nevsun Resources Ltd. (NYSEMKT:NSU) for years. I was pounding the table on this one pretty hard late last year, because it seemed like it was getting sold down with all the other gold stocks, even though Nevsun's Bisha mine in Eritrea was switching to copper production.
Bisha is a high-grade volcanogenic sulfide deposit. And the mine is very unusual in that it has gone from being a gold producer to being a copper producer; the company has gone below the supergene gold mineralization in the same deposit. It is different levels of weathering and oxidation. Nevsun is now into the supergene copper. It will be mining that for the next three or four years. The gold and copper are both very high grade. After that, Bisha will become a zinc mine, also very high grade. This thing generates tons of money.
Nevsun has had a good run in the last three to four months. Its stock has more or less doubled, up to about $4 now. But I expect Nevsun to produce 200 million pounds copper this year, with some gold added in. I would think its cash costs are going to come in below $1. It already has about $1.50/share in cash. It is generating tons of cash flow. It is paying a dividend. I think there's room for that dividend to be increased from $0.14 this year.
The other thing that's always possible is a move on the M&A side, because the company has the cash to buy up assets. I know management has been looking around for a couple of years. Part of the problem is that its own project is so good that management just doesn't run across many assets that look better. Nevsun is a solid base metal stock that I like quite a bit.
TMR: Eric, do you want to continue with another company?
EC: I cover a company called Reservoir Minerals Inc. (OTCPK:RVRLF) [RMC:TSX.V], which, along with its joint venture [JV] partner, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (NYSE:FCX), made a pretty amazing high-sulphidation copper-gold discovery in Serbia. They put out a resource estimate of 65 million tons [65 Mt] of 2.6% copper and 1.5 g/t gold. It's a really impressive discovery.
TMR: The Summit-where all of these companies are going to be in one place for investors to talk to-is being held in conjunction with PDAC. What are you hoping to hear at the conference? What trends will you be sharing with attendees?
LR: The mood is definitely picking up in the resource industry. We had a terrible couple of years, but interest is coming back. Most retail investors are shell-shocked. But the "smart" money-the veteran investors-are coming into the market now. The better-quality companies are already starting to move up on a fairly consistent basis.
Beyond that, there is a huge amount of money waiting in the wings. Part of that is U.S. private equity. These investors recognize the tremendous value to be found in the industry. We haven't seen a lot of deals announced yet, but they're looking at things. I think we're going to see a lot of money from that sector coming into the resource space over the next few months, which will contribute to what's already beginning to be an upturn for the industry. PDAC is a tremendous event. There are people from all over the world coming together in one place. Conferences are a very important venue, where investors can get face-to-face with the management teams.
TMR: Eric, are you looking forward to the same upbeat spirit?
EC: Yes. I am calling for 30%+ gains on the Venture this year. That sounds like a lot, but it is a speculative index. I pointed out to readers that for those gains to happen, all we really need is 10% of the companies on the Venture to do very well and carry the can for everybody. Another 20% will do reasonably well, and get financed along with the top 10%. Half of the companies will probably do nothing and, hopefully, a bunch of them will disappear. I'm quite happy to see some of the also-rans not around anymore.
Gold has reacted quite well to good news and bad news. The Chinese are strong in the market still. It looks like gold has put in a fairly important double bottom, and I think the Venture index has as well. I expect things to be a lot more optimistic. PDAC will be a chance to find out if management groups are building their own momentum. It's tough to stay on track when you've gone through three terrible years. But the management groups that have been able to hold things together and raise money are the ones that will come out of the starting gate fast.
TMR: Keith, is it the same story in energy?
KS: No, it's almost the opposite. I've been warning my subscribers that energy might be going into a trough. There is a lot of fear that ongoing production increases are going to cripple commodity prices, which would not be pleasant. I tried to a pick a group of companies that either have the teams or the assets-or both-that can make it through any bottoming that we might see in the cycle later this year.
TMR: Thank you all for your time. See you at the Subscriber Investment Summit.

Coffin was one of the first analysts to point out the disastrous effects of gold hedging and gold loan-capital financing in 1997. He also predicted the start of the current secular bull market in commodities based on the movement of the U.S. dollar in 2001 and the acceleration of growth in Asia and India. Coffin can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or the website.

He is a geologist, with engineering and business training, and more than 20 years of experience in the resource industry. He has generated an impressive track record forResource Opportunities, a subscriber-supported investment newsletter. Roulston has launched an investment fund, the Metallica Development Fund, to take advantage of severely over-sold positions in high quality resource companies. The focus of the fund is on companies with production and/or advanced-stage exploration and development projects-companies with potential for near-term recovery in value that also have potential for longer-term growth.

Drug cops arrested a 27-year-old man after finding suspected cannabis during a raid in Carshalton.
Police burst into the house in Welbeck Road and found suspected cannabis leaves spread out on a table in an outbuilding just before 9am on Thursday.
Police enter the property
They also found the stumps of plants discarded in the front of the outbuilding.
A 60-year-old woman and a two year old child were in the property at the time of the raid but they were not arrested.
The 27-year-old man was arrested when he returned to the house a short time after the raid.
He was taken to a south London police station on suspicion of possession with intent to supply, cultivation and possession of counterfeit currency. He has been bailed while police analyse the plants found at the property.
Sergeant Ashley Bennetts led the operation after police were alerted by concerned neighbours.
Sgt Bennetts said: "We want to encourage residents to tell us if they suspect drugs cultivation or dealing in their streets. We will treat all such reports seriously and will put a stop to these activities."
Police have asked people to be vigilant and look out for houses emitting a sweet smell, where the curtains are frequently drawn, that get delivery of unusual items like fertilizer and where people come and go at unusual times.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.2 /5 from 117 reviews
Myself & my partner stayed here for 2 weeks over Xmas and the new year. The staff were very nice and made us feel very welcome which made our stay very pleasant. We booked a lagoon view suite which was nice, we loved being able to step in to the pool from our room. Our bed was made every day and clean towels replenished which was nice but I would not say that our room was the cleanest. Cleaners came in each day to sweep and make bed but I don't think any cleaning products were used once in our bathroom... Apart from air freshener. The pool was clean and great to relax in. We ate out in the mornings for the majority of the holiday which we didnt mind as we did not expect to have breakfast included as the food options were a little odd and not the freshest. Location is not bad, we catched a taxi most days but also walked to seminyak square some mornings which was about a 20-25 min walk. Overall a pleasant stay in Seminyak and would like to thank the staff for making us feel welcome.
The room was clean and comfortable.The hotel seems to be surrounded by private residences and the road leading to the hotel is not well paved.Service was good.The hotel packed us breakfast at our request as we had to leave for the airport really early in the morning.The location was not to our convenience as there were very few shops at a walking distance.
Breakfast was average, pool was good and really pretty. The room was spacious and the service was good. Location is a little hard to get to (about 10 mins walk to bigger streets) and was really dark to walk back to hotel at night. Room cleanliness was fine but things like towels and sheets had a few stain spots. Overall a good stay and a good place to rest and relax.
Very disappointed with location. Needed a taxi every time we left hotel. We stayed for a month and Pool towels only changed when we asked for it. Bathroom had mould on floor and walls. Rollaway bed was a mattress on the floor. This is not satisfactory for an adult. Curtains had blood stains on them. There is a litany of further problems but too boring to go on. Okay for a one night stay. Pool is glorious. Staff are working very hard to please with not enough support from management.
It's an average stay in Bali. Nice pool area, clean room. Close to no where

Property description
Come enjoy everything Maui has to offer while staying in our beautifully appointed Gardenia Suite. Located a short half block off the end of Maui's longest walking beach, enjoy whale watching and the beautiful Maui sunsets over Ma'alaea Bay.
Formerly operated as a boutique hotel that was rated as a 'Hidden Gem' by Maui Revealed, Aloha Pualani consists of 6 townhouse type units. Our Gardenia Suite features 2 floors of gracious living. The upper contains the master suite plus a generous covered lanai with a view of the ocean and gardens below. The main floor has a fully outfitted kitchen and living room.
The property features beautiful landscaping with tropical plants, a gated courtyard with saline pool, patio furniture, fountain, and fish pond. Just 30 feet from the Gardenia Suite there is a handsome outdoor bar, high quality barbecue, ice maker, refrigerator and cooking area.
The property is centrally located on Maui, 20 minutes from the Kahului Airport, roughly a half hour from Lahaina, and within 10 to 15 minutes from the many beautiful beaches of Wailea and Makena.
If you are looking for the ideal Hawaii getaway but prefer being away from the large hotels and condo's, come join us at the Aloha Pualani Gardenia Suite. We own two of the 6 suites, and keep one for our own use, and accordingly are deeply committed to keeping the facility at a high level of quality.

Why Kihei, HI, USA:
This is a small, 6-unit property in more of a residential type of area than a heavy tourist area with large hotels and condo complexes. Its grounds are beautiful and well maintained. In the gated area in the middle of the complex there is a lovely solar heated, saline swimming pool, and a commercial quality outdoor kitchen/bar area for guests to enjoy. It is just a half a block from the longest walking beach in Maui, where you will see the most beautiful sunsets Maui has to offer due west from the beach. We make our owner's closet available to our guests, with beach towels, snorkle gear, beach chairs and matts, umbrella's, etc. Our family owns 2 of the 6 units, and we use one of the units full time, and rent this unit most of the time. Therefore, we are available on site to help with information about Maui, and our presence helps assure that the grounds and apartments are well kept. Our property is very nicely located--roughly 15 minutes from the airport, within minutes of the many beautiful beaches of Kihei, Wailea and Makena, and approximately a half hour from Lahaina. There are many restaurants, stores and shops within minutes of our place.
