Sound Guard and laminate floors
Hello, I bought some BHK laminate flooring today to install next weekend. The sales person was trying to sell me a product called Sound Guard underlayment for .55 cents a square foot. Is this product necessary if I am installing the laminate over a concrete surface. The laminate is 7MM. Thanks in advance for the advice.....
Is this an upgrade from the normal underlayment required by the manufacture. If your going over concrete you need a vapor barrier and then foam or fiber board underlayment depending on grade and desired or required appropriate sound deading.
The installation comes with standard underlayment and vapor barrier. They are trying to sell the Sound Guard as an additional upgrade for .55 cents a square foot. Is this really needed?
Sound protection isn't generally needed unless your rock band or Irish dance troupe is practicing there.
Sound proofing is mostly for DBA. In other words, your downstairs neighbors. (the devil?)
But it also makes the lam sound less hollow. If that is worth 55 cents, then go for it.

330Ci F/I - S54 SWAP - M3 E46 ???????
Hi fanatics.
That's my baby here.. and my story.. http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=963944
The car is up for sale a few months now..
I was thinking of selling it and adding some cash to get an ///M3 E46..
But things are so f***** up with the economic crisis here in Greece and people don't give money for cars 2000cc and over.. I also can't swap it for an M3, they ask me alot of extra money.. for 2001-2002 models that are 100K+ kms and not well maintained..
Here is my ad http://www.car.gr/classifieds/cars/photos/2273085/
Should i keep the 330Ci and go F/I, do an M3 swap or wait and get an ///M.. sometime...???
ESS is out of my budget..
G power (from Greece or Germany) and AA are within my budget..
Car is not a DD.. and also i don't track it at all.. It's just a free time toy/ride.. i love smoking my rear old 18 tires with 2nd gear in our crappy greek roads.. :D
It's been a month since i ve put a new 3,38 diff and i fixed my sticky 5th gear/reverse 5sp gearbox (from 3lt M3 E36 S50)..
I live in an island, so top speed isn't my concern..
Which route is more reliable..??
M54+supercharger OR S54..??
beautiful car.
if your only asking the question what is more reliable. i would assume that a stock motor is always going to be more reliable than one with aftermarket FI on it....
im currently doing a s54 swap into my sedan that started as a 328i.. It deffinitly would have been a more difficult for me to choose the route i wanted to go in if i started with a 330.
that said, ill be very happy when i have a 350 hp N/A 6 cylinder engine under the hood of my e46 sedan. and now there is the option to add FI to the S54 and we have all seen what that is capable of.
the best option with the least expense for the ammount of benefit you will get is to just buy a e46 m3...
Just build your own. Stay away from the kit drama. Go custom F/I edit nvm I didn't realize that wasn't an option.
Even if i find a cheap 5K euros M3 E46 complete engine swap.. you don't know what will it be.. You will never learn the milage+ we all know the common failures of the S54..
These are some reasons of giving a +1 to the M54+F/I vs the S54..
I would love to buy an M3.. BUT.. i can't sell my 330Ci.. Also i can't trade it plus 5-6K euros to buy a proper ///M.. They were asking me to pay 10K+ for an M that i would have to spend another 5K to be proper!!!
So as you can see.. "the best option with the least expense for the ammount of benefit you will get is to just buy a e46 m3..." is going with F/I..
When with small cost you can add new piston rings, valves etc at the M54 and going F/I rather than going S54.. that also the parts are more expensive.. if future possible failure occurs..
(S54 furure F/I is not an option for me..)
Iam comfused..
I believe a 300-330hp running at a safe boost will be fine for me..
May I ask why you sold the silver one? If your gunna do boost you should put the 4-cyl back in there. Probably will be around the same weight as a six and youll make more bhp than the S52 n/a. I think its cooler to explore the road less traveled but most would just call that weird.
Turbo M54 will probably be cheaper than a Turbo S54, reliability/maintenance wise. Im not a big fan of superchargers unless its a twinscrew.
What are you after? Interesting/unique. Crazy hp numbers.
By the way your a good friend for giving him your bumpers! I like that.
Thanks for the replies guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back in 2007.. i was 25.. i wanted a coupe.. :D and some more hp.. the silver was a 316i.. That's all.. :D
My coupe had a 4cyl N42 2lt valvetronic engine.. not tunable at all.. I didn't want to go custom or experimenting going F/I with that engine..
So the M54 was my solution.. in 2010..
Not a turbo fan.. and not a custom fun.. I prefer a low boost reliable supercharger kit..
Iam not looking for crazy numbers.. Let's say like M3 performance..
My car is not a DD, i don't track it and i don't street race.. :D It's just for ME.. :D
My friend with a black coupe, had an accident and he had some problems with his job at that time.. that's why i gave him my stuff very cheap.. :D
What about EURO E36 motor? 3.2l? S50b32
Let's keep the conversation between M54B30 and S54..
My engine is stock M54B30 231ps manual 5sp, 3,38 diff and some custom exhaust mods http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...367&highlight=
However, you will not be disappointed with a supercharger kit for the M54. Our supercharger systems are very easy to maintain and add significant power to your engine :woot:
We have sold hundreds of kits over the years. Not to mention our amazing customer service to back it up.
If you have any questions on a system feel free to pm me. Im glad to help
Thanks for the reply.
How many hp the stage 1 outputs?
Saw an amazing summer sale price.. when are you going to do something similar..?? :D
I live in Greece.. Will the kit perform proper..?? (Greek climate) Is an i/c included..??
grab a sc kit.. you can install them on a weekend... boosted m54 by monday, best of luck
Output varies depending on weather and engine condition (compression, mileage, etc.)
The kit will definitely perform in Greece. We have a few kits over there and have one shipping out to cyprus as we speak. All of our kits are designed and tested in South Florida where the weather is hot and tropical year round and perform great.
The Level 1 supercharger system does not include an intercooler. On the other hand, our level 2 system does.

I heard from the girls at HAPPYsthlm (sthlm is short for Stockholm) earlier this week and didn't want to wait another moment before spotlighting them here on decor8. HAPPYsthlm was founded in a courtyard studio in Stockholm in '07 by product designer Katarina Andersson, silversmith Caroline Lindholm and textile designer Kajsa Aronsson. Together they create jewelery and accessories for the home like pillow covers, cast iron baking forms, hand blown glassware, stoneware, cast iron trivets in leaf patterns and much more.
So many sweet patterns and beautifully crafted wares, I hope that you will visit their website and check them out! Also make sure to visit the online portfolio of their photographer Karin Björkquist, too.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Much of the success for this year's smash Floyd Collins lies with its solid-gold ensemble that produced one memorable performance after another. Besides Tally Sessions's work in the leading role, the show featured Blythe Gruda as the ethereal, off-kilter sister Nellie, Brian Charles Rooney as their moviestruck brother, Jerry Gulledge as their haunted father, and Lourelene Snedeker as their warm-hearted, long-suffering stepmother. The cast also featured terrific work from Michael Turner as a guilt-ridden reporter, Brian M. Golub as a wannabe folk singer with a bell-clear voice, and Ken Clement as a blustering, officious engineer. To that add Wayne Steadman, Mark Filosa, Terry M. Cain, Oscar Cheda, and Barry Tarallo and what you've got is a dream of a cast.
Your night out is over. You step out of the club's raging din and onto the sidewalk, where the relative silence is as shocking as a slap in the face. Head spinning, you realize you might not be up for the drive home just yet. Stumble over to Puerto Sagua for a no-frills Cuban meal in an atmosphere easygoing enough to enable a soft landing when you come back to earth. The restaurant -- a South Beach institution for more than 30 years -- stays open until 2:00 a.m., perfect for clubland's early exits, and it won't break the bank, assuming you have some bank left after those double-digit cocktails.
With a powerful singing voice and boundless energy, Sessions conjured up the memorable title role in the best show of the year, staged by Actors' Playhouse. Sessions's Floyd Collins was a high-spirited Huck Finn whose entrapment in an underground cave led him from optimism to panic to horrible despair. Sessions is that rare musical-theater performer who keeps his work fully grounded in emotional truth. He adroitly handled the difficult challenges of his role -- long, musically complex solos and significant athletic demands.
Sometimes a performer finds the perfect role, or the perfect role finds her. Maybe it's karma or the planets' alignment. Maybe it's sheer luck or hard work -- or all of the above. Whatever the reason, Claire Tyler was the right actress in the right role as JC333 (Jaycee Triplethree), the android actress heroine of Alan Ayckbourn's dark fantasy Comic Potential at Actors' Playhouse. Tyler's performance clearly delineated JC's slow awakening to some hidden core of humanity. Her 'droid's awkward movements began to turn into some kind of nascent grace, and her squawk-box voice mellowed into something musical. The role also had a theatrical dash, as when Jaycee went haywire, spouting bits of long-past performances that had somehow been stored in her hard drive. Tyler has been very fortunate in her short theatrical career, working with top area directors and with excellent scripts. Besides her fine work with David Arisco in Comic Potential and the recent Sherlock's Last Case, she also scored in a trio of Joe Adler productions at GableStage: The Shape of Things, Popcorn, and The Play About the Baby. But it is the android with a heart of gold who remains the most memorable role of her young career.
Mandich may have the experience and credentials to be a jock-talk radio host (including three NFL Championship rings, one from his play as tight end on Miami's undefeated 1972 Dolphins squad), but it's his voice that really reaches out and boxes your ears. Where other jock-talk personalities embrace goofy sports-geek overenthusiasm or know-it-all laconicism (like Hank Goldberg, Mandich's colleague at WQAM-AM 560), Mad Dog's bombastic pipes carry the show. It's impossible to transcribe the stretched vowels and clipped consonants that roll around like gumballs in his mouth, but suffice it to say that the voice makes even the generic parts of his act seem fresh (the studied political incorrectness, barking at callers when the show gets a little slow). Almost everything he says seems funny, including his stock "Never better!" (delivered as if fired from a cannon) in response to callers' ubiquitous "Howyadoon' Mad Dog?" In addition to the afternoon call-in show (1:00 to 3:00 p.m.), Mandich can be seen on Channel 10's Sports Jam Live, though it's hard to get the full impact of the voice when you have to watch him too.
Readers Choice: Neil Rogers, WQAM-AM (560)
For whatever reason, Miami is not a huge art-house film town. (Too many other distractions perhaps?) The Sunrise Intracoastal is one of the very few venues in the county to regularly program foreign and independent fare -- and keep it on the screen for longer than the opening week. Easy, plentiful, and free parking more than compensates for the less-than-new interior. Plus the North Miami Beach location is a great compromise when making movie dates with friends who live in Broward. Best of all, the theater is locally owned and programmed by the husband-wife team of Mitch and Nancy Dreir. (The Intracoastal, which they acquired from the bankrupt General Cinema Corporation in late 2000, is one of nine theaters and more than 70 screens the couple now owns in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade.) Earlier this year Mitch and Nancy explained their approach to Sun-Sentinel movie critic Todd Anthony (formerly of this newspaper): "Most of our theaters offer the qualities people associate with smaller, less frenetic movie theaters. It may not be the largest portion of the movie-going public, but clearly there's a significant audience for it. We strive to make you feel at home, from the time you get out of your car in the parking lot to the person who greets you at the ticket box." Mitch is admittedly obsessive. "I'm in movie theaters 60, 70 hours a week," he told Anthony. "I go into the washrooms, I go into the auditoriums, I get behind the snack bar. If somebody decides to spend a good chunk of their evening with me, I want to make sure they have a great time." And that, we would argue, is an award-winning attitude.

Give Yale the Old College Try
Anne Coyle, admissions director at Yale School of Management, has 18 years of experience in education, business, and government. Before joining Yale, in New Haven, Conn., Coyle spent five years with Phillips Oppenheim conducting executive searches for nonprofit organizations. Earlier in her career, she was manager of recruiting for McKinsey's advanced and professional degree program, under which associates are recruited globally from law schools, medical schools, and doctoral programs in the U.S.
Coyle also directed admissions for Cornell University's S.C. Johnson Graduate School of Management. Her government experience ranges from having served as a presidential management intern at the U.S. Senate Budget Committee to working on budget issues in New York City for then-Mayor Ed Koch. Coyle holds a Masters of Public Administration from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and a B.A. in biological anthropology from Harvard College. She recently spoke with BusinessWeek Online reporter Jeffrey Gangemi. Here are edited excerpts of their conversation:
Q: What is your application schedule, and when is the best time to apply? A:
Q: What is your application schedule, and when is the best time to apply?
A:This year, our deadlines were at the end of October, the middle of January, and in the middle of March. If you can put together a good application for Round 1 or 2, then it's just a better bet. Applying in Round 3 is a little bit riskier. Our total number of applications is flat from last year at this time. The application numbers are down at most schools, so we consider ourselves lucky.
Q: How do you manage the waiting list? A:
Q: How do you manage the waiting list?
A:This year our waiting list is pretty long, but we're not going to let huge numbers of people sit on it until August. When we're midway through our final round, we'll take a good hard look at the waiting list. By Apr. 29, the deadline for accepted applicants from Rounds 1 and 2 to commit their deposit, we'll have a good idea of how many spots are remaining in the class. At that point, we'll take some more people off the waiting list.
Q: How can a wait-listed applicant improve his or her chances of admission? A:
Q: How can a wait-listed applicant improve his or her chances of admission?
A:Taking classes or retaking the GMAT is a good idea. We're happy for our wait-listed applicants to contact us, and we give them feedback. If we tell you that we have concerns with your quantitative background, then just sending in a receipt that you have registered for the class is a step in the right direction. Our objective is to put together a good strong class of people who are ready to succeed and get the most out of [the program]. If we can help someone who is on the border, then it's good for everybody.
Q: What is your average GMAT score? A:
Q: What is your average GMAT score?
A:Our average is 700, but scores generally range between 650 and 750. The GMAT score, along with undergraduate GPA, is a pretty good predictor of academic success in the first year. But we want students to be successful in other areas as well, not just academics. We want students who will have time to assume leadership roles in clubs, for example. The last thing we want students to think is that if their scores fall in the 600s, then they shouldn't apply.
Q: What are some ways an applicant can stand out? A:
Q: What are some ways an applicant can stand out?
A:One thing we're looking at is if the person has a narrative that makes sense. Can they tell a compelling story about their life and career to date, where they plan to go, and why they want an MBA? It's also interesting to hear about people who are unusual. But they still need to be solid, stable, and compelling.

More than $20 million a day!
That is, according to one totally and completely not impartial observer!
"As thousands of TV and film writers marched along Hollywood Boulevard in the third week of their strike, film officials put a price tag on the potential economic toll of the walkout," reports the Los Angeles Times. "Los Angeles' economy will lose more than $20 million a day in direct production spending if the writers strike extends into next month, according to FilmL.A. Inc., the nonprofit group that handles film permits and promotes the industry."

Is it a sin to want a business start up fund from the business link!
I went over to my business link today to find out about the london business start up fund which i have been told that i more than qualify for. Only to be told by a very rude fund manager that my business plans were aimed a bit too high. He then went on to tell me that i was not disadvantaged because i have an MBA and would be best adviced to get back to my job and didn't look as if i needed the money because they were aimed for people that are disadvantaged. Further more i was told that my business plan should only be four pages long which is news to me as main stream banks have told me that it should be longer.
I really couldn't believe how someone in such a sensitive position could be so rude. My anger over this matter is that if i needed a loan to startup a hairdressing salon or plumbing service there would be a lot of help available to me but with setting up a management consultancy and having an MBA i am aiming a bit too high and there is no help available to me. The injustice of this is really not right. I am going to register a complaint against the fund manager because he has no right to be so negative towards my business idea or anybody's for that matter.
What i would like to find out is that are there anymoreyoung people out there that have experinced this injustice in your quest to get a business loan from the business link.
Hello there,
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. The business link have no right to make such a comment without basis. They should have explained what they didn't like about your plan and given helpful suggestions.
I think with management consultancy experince is really crucial. It's great that you have an MBA, but do you also have experince with being 'out there'? Maybe they were concerned that you were after a market with which you had little experince and understanding. I'm sure this is not the case but that's a possible reason
The business plan needs to be simple, but long enough to explain the 'what', 'why'. and 'how'. To say that it should be a particular number of pages seems a little stupid since every business is different
good luck
I recently applied for a business loan from Business Link (via a company called OneLondon) and it was refused. I have not had any major problems with Business Link and the adviser I spoke with was very nice and helpful. However, everyone is different and I am sorry that you had problems.
Don't let this put you off and continue your search for funds. There is definitely money out there, it's just finding it!
Natalie Brown
NLB Travel
Hello. I was concerned and very sorry to read of your recent experiences in applying for a business loan from Business Link. This is particularly so as I joined Business Link after my MBA and have run my own business previously!!
I would like to find a bit more about this. Would you be kind enough to forward me your email address and any further details that you may consider relevant? I am also very happy to have look at your business plan if this might help.
Whilst I do not directly manage business loan funds, I can promise that I will look into this matter thoroughly for you. Having seen BL's "Customer First" team in action I can assure you that experiences like yours should be very rare indeed. It is certainly not a "sin" to apply for a business loan and it is our aim to make dealing with BL (or one of our partners) a constructive, informative and courteous expereince.
Please drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com

Start-Up Development Manager
Business Link, everyone's favourite love/hate subject. Some are great some are just diaboical.
Having an MBA you must be pretty intelligent and have a pretty good grasp of business so i wouldn't tkae too much notice of them. You will know your Business Plan needs to be a hell of a lot longer than 4 pages so what and idiot for telling you that. Perhaps you were aiming too high. A lot of people who go into business for the first time do think that in a year or so they will be ruling the world and have made millions of pounds in profit, I have seen it so many times so perhaps yours was a little like that but like I said with your MBA, you should have a pretty good idea of what is realistic.
I can see how you may be viewed as disadvantaged for having the qualifications you have as an MBA means you have an excellent uinderstanding of business and this includes raising finance. Business Link tend to be there to help people who don't know where to turn whereas you should have a pretty good idea.
Whatever your experience, don't be put off by idiots like that, there's always someone out there willing to help you so just keep trying.
Thanks all for your heart felt reply to my mail it was very much appreciated. I would not let my nasty experince at my local business link put me off starting up my own business because i do believe that it was a one off event.
Please nick could you please, please, please, reply to my mail as i would really like to speak to you with regards to other types of fundings which i could be entitled to.
Kind regards
My pleasure Claudia! Please now check the email address supplied, for my response.
I hope this helps

I am looking to stat up a buisness in the plumbing industry if anyone is interested I thought more on the lines of plumbing distribution (i.e. Taking products from manufactures storing them in a warehouse and then distributing them to where they need to go e.g. Trades like plubers themselves)
Please see my Form entitled: Plumbing Enterprise For more info or contact me direct.
Hi Claudia!
Also, I went on a business plan writing course of the THRESHOLD TRAINING (linked to Prince's Trust), and they had a list with a lot of organisations that provide funds and loans. If you would like to know more, you can drop me a line, or put something up on here, or contact them directly, maybe they will send the list out to you without attending the course.
Good luck!

photography subforum
why does the photo subforum only have 1 page of threads? seems like older threads just disappear instead of getting an extra page
can this be changed?
there were older threads with good information that i can't find anymore
You have to increase the "From the" value in the drop down box at the bottom of the page to display the older threads. The default is "Last Month." Here's a link to it, after you increase the value to "Beginning"
Thanks for the heads up, I adjusted the default time to show all threads.
thank you

Has anyone used Hot Shots Sercet oil additive
I have an 04 F-250 6.0l that is starting real rough in the morning. I was told to use an oil additive called Hot Shots Sercet. I am not real sure about adding stuff to the oil. I think the fuel injectors are starting to go bad. It is also starting to lose some power just does not feel as strong.

Do a little searching in here and you will find more opinions about this stuff along with rev-x. I personally did not have the miracle cure experience with the Hot Shots Secret, I did have better results with Rev-x. I believe its more in the oil- type, weight, and change interval. Run a good 5w synthetic oil and change it often.

Factors and trends in the development of pharmacy chainsPast two years have been quite challenging for North American pharmacies chains. First, their active growth slowed crisis pushed up prices in pharmacies and thereby caused the fall in consumer demand. Then, on the wave of popular discontent government introduced initiatives to regulate drug prices, the effects of which market participants are still unclear. To what extent these factors influenced the development of the North American drugstore chains? What today are focusing efforts chain retailers? Experts believe that the coming year will bring success drugstore chains, come to grips with the optimization of their work, and predict their further growth.
One of the main trends in the development of American and Canadian pharmacy retail market for the past 10 years has been strong growth in pharmacy chains, mainly due to mergers and acquisitions of smaller regional players (which provided approximately 60-70% growth).
The coming crisis has aggravated the situation and led many pharmaceutical market players to "forget" about mergers and acquisitions. Pharmacies have been forced to deal with completely different problems: the banking crisis almost deprived them of credits, and soon followed drug price growth caused by a change in exchange rate fluctuations, led to a decrease in demand of the population.
The share of large online pharmacy chains in sales of drugs, which until late last year grew continuously, began to decline. Something happened that was difficult to imagine: the crisis in large retailers have been less effective than independent pharmacies. Despite the increase in the average value of the check in american pharmacy chains, the number of checks themselves due to the outflow of buyers has decreased, and more important than the individual pharmacies.
Factors that provide undeniable advantages network online pharmacies - direct contracts with large pharma distributors and, therefore, lower purchase prices, centralizing storage, financial operations, marketing and management personnel, reduce costs, and the possibility of network-wide advertising the brand, not the network helped save retailers dynamics of development in crisis conditions. On the contrary, what was intended to reduce the cost of pharmacy chains, their increased : the cost for the maintenance of networks of offices and personnel have been prohibitive. We see no reason why what happened in a lack of flexibility and control pharmacies formation of inventory in major drugstore chains. At the same time, independent pharmacies, whose owners more flexible approach to the range, working with suppliers, pricing, demonstrated more rapid response to the changing situation.
Mobility single online pharmacies - the ability to quickly adapt to new conditions in the pharmaceutical market and to change tactics - higher than that of the network. In single information chain pharmacies shorter, faster the feedback, because there is no inherent networks cumbersome "bureaucratic" machine. In addition, due to the large range of networks in difficult inventory management and demand forecasting to specific positions. Networks is difficult to achieve coordinated work of all its units.
The reason for this was the low level of production of one sample family pharmacy. Supplier quite clearly regulates pricing by introducing raises or lowers the coefficient for a particular commercial enterprise. The smaller pharmacy chooses, ie purchases, it products, the higher the selling price for it and the less it is competitive compared to its neighbors. It began in small pharmacies "recoup" Wholesalers, increasing profit margins to the desired target. The best position were independent pharmacies, have their own room and ransomed thus from having to pay the rent. This "safety cushion", as well as the establishment of relatively low prices for sold merchandise - factors that such pharmacies to survive and compete in the market.
Under these circumstances, many large pharmacy chains have come to grips with the optimization of business. This trend, market analysts explain not only a reaction to the crisis, but also the logic of the development of online pharmacy chains.

Mayhem # 1979609
About MeI have been a photographer for about 1.5 years. My previous experience has been landscape photography, but I want to expand my portfolio to include model photography including fashion, glamor, swimsuit, lifestyle, lingerie and possibly erotic and/or nude. I am looking to connect with models that are looking for experience and / or expanding their portfolio. As of now, I can provide TF/CD, possibly some negotiated compensation while I get some needed experience in the model photography arena.
My main goal here on MM is to find models that are looking to start or expand their portfolio. I am looking to gain experience with photo shoots and use my creativity to help the portfolios of the models I work with as well as my own. I am open to ideas for shoots as I would gain experience doing any type of shoot. Please feel free to contact me about any ideas you may have because I will try anything once and most things twice.
I have a few different photography software packages that I use depending on the shooting environment (Photoshop CS5, Lightroom 3 and a couple other High Dynamic Range - HDR suites. I do not have experience photographing models, but we all have to start somewhere right. I am very easy going and enjoy meeting new people. I enjoy shooting both in and outdoors, both have their challenges and rewards. If you are interested in talking about possible shoots in the Minneapolis area (I also vacation in Ft. Lauderdale on occasion) please feel free to contact me on MM or at firstname.lastname@example.com Hope to hear from you soon.

Developer plans to convert Waiakea condos to hotel
HILO — Hawaii real estate developer Peter Savio wants to spend $25 million to buy the Waiakea Villas complex in Hilo and create a new "Pagoda-style" hotel on the property.
Savio said Friday he is finalizing a deal to purchase the 275-unit residential and commercial property from investors, which could take a couple of months to complete.
He said about 200 of the 251 residential units are available now and others are privately owned condominiums.
"The goal would be to buy (the condos) up over time," he said. "It's very common on Oahu." The remainder are commercial properties.
Savio, born in Hilo, purchased the well-known Pagoda Hotel in Honolulu two years ago and would position the proposed Hilo hotel as a similar style of local, family-based operation.
"For business travel, weddings, when people have guests — they will stay at the Pagoda," he said, and another hotel wouldn't necessarily attract more tourists to Hilo where there are no sandy beaches or surfing. "Hilo's just a different attraction. It's old Hawaii."
About 30 Waiakea Villas residential units that were destroyed by fire in 2002 would also be rebuilt and Savio plans to add more new units, which would be marketed to University of Hawaii at Hilo students and as long-term rentals.
Savio is looking to invest at least $2 million to the commercial side of the complex "just to freshen it up." Beyond that, he's not sure yet how much he'll need to invest in property upgrades.
"It will be considerable," he said. "No numbers yet; we're working on it."
Currently Miyo's Restaurant, Hale Inu Sports Bar and several other tenants are located in the commercial complex among a number of vacant spaces on the Waiakea waterfront.
The sellers are Owens Financial Group and Bridge Capital. Bridge acquired the residential property through foreclosure when former owner Simon Bebb defaulted on a loan in 2009. Last year, Owens foreclosed on the commercial property's previous co-owners, Vernon and Noenoe Lindsey of Maui, after the Lindseys defaulted on a $2 million loan.
"Deals have fallen through," Savio said.
A call to the Walnut Creek, Calif.-based Owens Financial Group for confirmation of the proposed sale was not returned. Singapore-based Bridge Capital also could not be reached for comment.
Katt Sears, site manager for the Waiakea Villas condo owners association, said Friday that she hadn't heard of the proposed sale but that it's good news and that she's looking forward to new investment in the property.
"That's exactly what we need. It's good that he's a local guy," Sears said.
Earlier reports last week that Savio was proposing to buy the Waiakea Lagoon View Apartments, a different residential apartment complex located across Waiakea Pond from Waiakea Villas, were incorrect, he said.
Savio said he's been trying to acquire the Waiakea Villas property for several years. He hopes to finalize the deal and begin work on the project early in 2013.
Savio is also negotiating for a site for another Pagoda-branded hotel to be located near the new University of Hawaii at West Oahu campus in Kapolei.

As everyone already knows, the well liked Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor cut his moustache and chest hair in order to play the young teenaged version of him in a movie. And he did it without regret, as he wanted to give everything for the sake of his picture. Now it seems that things are about to repeat themselves, as the Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor has to make another change in his hairstyle for the good of the film.
For this new character, it seems that Anil Kapoor will have to go bold and shave all of his hair. The part which is going to play is for the production of director Rajkumar Santoshi, and the actor does not have any word to say about this. In a recent interview the actor statedt that indeed this is one of the choices, but he is not yet certain about this subject.
Now everyone in the film industry of Bollywood, and not only, is waiting to see Anil Kapoor bold in this new upcoming picture.

Blog: 02/20/14
Now the government, which has become eerily more intrusive on our right to privacy under Obama's watch, wants to see what we're up to when running errands, going to the supermarket, going to work, out on a date or where we're going on a road trip.
The Federal government wants the ability to follow us around in our vehicles by tracking our license plates. All our license plates, not just those of suspected criminals or terrorists. The Department of Homeland security will have a massive data bank that contains all of our license plates. This way, any local county Mountie or law enforcement agent anywhere in the country will be able to access this data bank and download all the information regarding that plate. Who it's registered to, where they're from, and any incidental background information on that plate.
You're driving through Iowa with the family on a vacation. Law enforcement wants to see who it is they're following. They cue the data bank and within seconds get readout of whom you are, what you do to make a living, what your social security number is, whether you have permission to own a firearm, and any black marks you may have on your driving record.
What if your son is using the family car to take the current love of his life out on a date and pedals the car over the speed limit? How does law enforcement proceed when it finds the plate is registered to you and not your son? When you fill out your registration will you have to list all those who have permission to drive your vehicle? How will the cops know the kid behind the wheel didn't steal the car just because he has the same last name you do?
This is serious stuff. This is a violation of your privacy rights. You have the right to travel anywhere in this country in your registered vehicle with a valid driver's license without having law enforcement read all about you on a printout. Sounds more to me like Orwell's 1984 than it does Obama's 2014.

Here is the evidence of Barack Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham Obama, in vintage nude photos from the 1960s. See the pictures, sources and commentary here. The story is culturally interesting to be sure, although it will not have any impact on the presidential race. They appear to be quite authentic yet we realize readers will want to review and judge for themselves and that anything is possible in a season of dirty campaign tricks.
The poses are tastefully done in what might be called artistic photos in which the photographer favors her butt. Obama's mom is apparently wearing comically high heels for that time period, with a simple necklace and little makeup. The pics were reportedly located on a porno site whose name is evident on one of them, the "Free Vintage Porn" Whatchamacallit site. The origin is from a blogger who worked on a tip from a convincing insider.
It is oddly speculated that Frank Marshall Davis took the pictures, an acquaintance of Mrs. Dunham when she was married, but we cannot possibly verify that he is the one (deceased now) and that sounds like partisan nonsense to us. He was a photographer among other literary pursuits as a Marxist organizer of some note in Hawaii.
What we can say is that the photo session does appear to be authentic. If you carefully compare the known Stanley Ann Dunham photos with the naked versions, you can see unmistakable signs. The eyes are the same with the unusual eyebrows above. Her long cheek bone lines are similar as is the angle of her ears. Her nose is upturned in a French fashion while her mouth is petite and heart shaped cutely and her neck lines are the same. And nobody photoshops three images when one will do just fine.
Our Right Pundits editors had a healthy debate about whether or not to publish about pictures of Obama's nude mom. We do not publish naked images uncensored but the story in my view is obviously newsworthy. In making this decision, we apply the same standards as the New York Times. If Cindy McCain's addiction and Nancy Reagan's fortune telling and the Bush Twins partying are newsworthy items, which they are, surely reports on the risque mom of a U.S. president is equally newsworthy.
Especially in Hawaii in the 1950's and 1960's. During the Joe McCarthy era when interracial dating was still taboo in many of The States, Obama's mom was apparently known for a rebellious streak. She eventually gave him up to the grandparents when he was ten years old, but little is spoken about this period of Obama's life except in whispers.
The next question is does this matter. We think not. Barack Obama had an unusual childhood which exposed him to unusual circumstances, including mosque in Indonesia and a free-spirited mother who was seemingly drawn to interesting men. He has been on a self-described lifelong journey of "personal discovery" ever since. He is clearly a product of his past as we all are, but he has overcome these obstacles to achieve the American dream and sit one hair away from the presidency.
And in many ways, Barack Obama's mother is emblematic of 21st century liberated women, free to pursue careers in pantsuits or become sex kittens as they choose. Obama's mother chose her own path and never looked back. She was a trailblazer who engaged in interracial marrying (twice!) when nobody else was brave, gave her child up essentially to adoption, and experimented in all sorts of things that would become commonplace among flower children within 20 years. She fled back to Indonesia in 1977 while abandoning Barack.
The Obama campaign did not respond to a request for comment on this article.
As a brief update, a gentle suggestion is that some of our visitors move into the 21st century. American culture in on a 2,000 year quest to finally catch up with the Greeks, when nudity was commonplace and non-controversial. Even the goddesses were depicted nude, while the wives of the ruling class were pridefully sculpted topless. The nation will survive Obama's mom posing nude, yet here I find liberal readers sounding like John Ashcroft. Gawker Media, a liberal-leaning yet respected media giant beat us to this story. Explain why it matters at all.
See much more of Obama's mother below, which you can blow up and compare for yourself.

Mark Bryant studies the torrent of satirical cartoons, both French and British, which emerged during the Scramble for Africa between 1881 and 1914.
After defeating the Mahdist army of Dervishes at Omdurman outside Khartoum in the Sudan in September 1898 (thereby avenging the death of General Gordon 14 years earlier), General Kitchener's Anglo-Egyptian forces pushed up the Nile. At Fashoda (modern Kodok), nearly 400 miles south of the capital, they encountered a fort defended by French troops who refused to withdraw. The ensuing so-called 'Fashoda Incident' led to heated diplomatic exchanges between Britain and France– even the threat of war – and this in turn prompted a flurry of cartoon journalism.
Fashoda was a ruined mud-brick fort set amongst mosquito- and crocodile-infested swampland which had originally been set up by the Egyptian government in the 1860s to patrol slave-traffic in the area. Destroyed and abandoned by Mahdist forces, it was nonetheless of considerable strategic importance, as it lay on the west bank of the White Nile at a point where, if dammed during the dry season, water would be prevented from reaching British-controlled Egypt.
France and Britain were the two key players in the 'Scramble for Africa' at this time, and Major Jean-Baptiste Marchand set off in 1897 from the main French military base at Brazzaville in the French Congo with a view to capturing Fashoda before the British could get there. After an epic journey by foot and boat across 3,000 miles of inhospitable country, Marchand's expedition of ten French officers and NCOs, an interpreter, a doctor, and 150 Senegalese riflemen – accompanied by an artist from L'Illustration – arrived at Fashoda in July 1898.
They quickly rebuilt the fort (renamed Fort St Louis) and in August repulsed two attacks by Mahdist forces, survivors from which then alerted General Herbert Kitchener, Sirdar (Commander-in-Chief) of the Anglo-Egyptian Army at Omdurman. So, in September 1898, fresh from his victory, Kitchener headed south with a force of 1,500 soldiers, together with artillery, machine-guns, and five large gunboats, to confront Marchand.
Though relations between the two opponents remained cordial, when Kitchener demanded that Marchand withdraw, the Frenchman refused – despite the superior force massed against him. Inflamed by jingoistic sabre-rattling by politicians and journalists in Britain and France, the situation escalated to fever pitch. 'France's honour is at stake; there can be no surrender,' proclaimed Le Figaro.
The deadlock was finally resolved in December when the French Foreign Minister Theophile Delcassé backed down and Marchand's force was escorted out of Sudan.
A full-page cartoon by John Tenniel (1820-1914) for Punch ('Marchez! Marchand!', 8 October 1898) sums up the British view, with General John Bull saying to Major Marchand (seated on a rock labelled 'Fashoda'): 'Come, Professor. You've had a nice little scientific trip! I've smashed the dervishes – luckily for you – and now I recommend you to pack up your flags and go home!!'
Two weeks later he returned to the theme ('Quit! – Pro Quo?', 22 October 1898), with John Bull as a householder trying to get rid of an itinerant French organ-grinder whose monkey (standing on the 'Fashoda' organ) is dressed in French military uniform. 'What you give me if I go?' asks the Frenchman. 'I'll give you something if you don't!' replies John Bull.
Other Punch drawings on the affair include two by E T Reed (1860-1933) – 'How Some People Invade the Soudan' (24 September 1898) and 'Prehistoric Fashoda' (15 October 1898) – both of which imply that the French had slyly crept in unobserved and squatted on land that was not theirs.
This idea is repeated in two cartoons in Fun by John Proctor (1836-1914). In the first ('Poaching on His Preserve', September 1898), John Bull is a gamekeeper and France an illegal angler, while the second ('Dignity and Impudence', 18 October 1898) has the British bulldog (outside his kennel marked 'Egypt') in a stand-off with a French poodle (labelled 'Marchand') over the 'Fashoda' bone.
A similar view is expressed in a cartoon published in Moonshine (24 September 1898) which shows Kitchener riding a camel towards a tiny French poodle ('Sirdar: "Now then, little dog, out of the way – or I shall be over you!" ').
Even children's comics featured the conflict – the six-panel cover feature of The Big Budget for 15 October 1898 was 'Airy Alf and Bouncing Billy take Fashoda'.
The French version of events was, not surprisingly, somewhat different. The colour cover illustration for Le Petit Journal (20 November 1898) depicts Britannia as the Wolf pretending to be the kindly Grandmother in the fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood. As France (dressed as the girl) approaches, carrying a cake labelled 'Fashoda', she says: 'Grandmother, what large teeth you have!' The Britannia Wolf replies: 'That is to eat your cake, my child!'
La Silhouette takes a different approach and in 'Major Marchand's Mission' (2 October 1898) has Marchand seated on the fortress of Fashoda as Kitchener and his camel run away in terror.
In direct contrast to La Silhouette, the German magazine Ulk (11 November 1898) has a French tiger running away from Fashoda as John Bull shakes a rattle marked 'Press Threats' with the caption: 'How timid this tiger is! He runs from a rattle!'
A four-part drawing by Gustav Brandt (1861-1919) in the Berlin-based Kladderadatsch ('The War Barometer', 30 October 1898) has John Bull and Major Marchand shouting 'Fashoda!' at each on other either side of a sword which acts as a barometer. At their loudest, the sword is nearly withdrawn from its scabbard, revealing the worst weather predictions, but as their voices calm, so does the writing on the sword's blade, from Earthquake, Storm, Heavy Rain, Rain, and Changeable to Settled and Good Weather.
Finally, a cartoon in the Swiss magazine Nebelspalter ('The Quarrelsome Graces', 5 November 1898) has Britain and France as two fat old women arguing over a small black boy (labelled 'Fashoda') held by France (the original three classical Graces personified beauty, charm, and grace). The British woman, who already has Sudan in her bag and demands the boy's release while threatening France with a furled umbrella, is shown as Queen Victoria.

Thirteenth Floor Dance Theater to Present World Premiere of BEING RAYMOND CHANDLER, Begin. 10/26
Thirteenth Floor Dance Theater is proud to announce the world premiere of Being Raymond Chandler, an original work of dance theater imaginatively set in the mind of the iconic detective fiction writer as he struggles to write his latest novel. Created by 13th Floor Founder Jenny McAllister for an ensemble of seven multi-talented performers, Being Raymond Chandler runs for two weekends, October 26-27 and November 2-3, 2013 in Studio B at ODC Dance Commons.
It's about 11 o'clock in the morning, with the sun not shining, and detective fiction writer Raymond Chandler, author of The Big Sleep and Farewell, My Lovely, is on deadline to complete his next novel. With cigarette and scotch in hand, he searches for words, but is haunted by figures from his past, figures of his own creation: fast-talking dames, broads, goons, and his favorite private eye, Philip Marlowe. The stage unfolds inside Chandler's mind as these figures cavort, slink and machinate with hilarious, heartreading and ultimately triumphant results.
"I found this weird artistic connection with Raymond Chandler," says McAllister. "One letter of his, in particular, resonated with me. He describes his wandering writing process with dead ends and revisions, his struggle to plot a course for his characters from the beginning. It's a great example of self-deprecating humor. It's also a mirror of my own artistic process that works by fits and starts."
"I'm thrilled to be working on this new piece," McAllister continues. "I'm working with such a terrific ensemble team, and I'm lucky to have Michael Oesch as a lighting designer again. We're enjoying our experiment with the conventions of film noir: the dramatic shafts of light and shadow, the off-kilter framing of a scene, and so on. In rehearsal we've been playing at recreating scenes from films like The Big Sleep,replacing some dialogue with movement, and creating characters out of stage directions. It's been a rewarding challenge."

I think you will have to embrace the frizz. There will always be some frizz in my opinion. BUT you can reduce it by using the LOC method. Using a sulfate free shampoo, and rinsing with cold water. Also make sure you are touching your hair too much.

The fact that our country overthrew the government of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893 is a great injustice and something that weighs heavily on my heart. As I consider this unjust act, I think of my two years working with Senator Akaka, watching him work tirelessly trying to get the Akaka Bill passed into law. Now, that Senator Akaka is retiring, I look to making the passage of this legislation to recognize Hawaiians as an indigenous people one of my top priorities. This is Senator Akaka's legacy and something that's got to be done for the Hawaiian people.
I realize that not everyone supports the Akaka Bill, but at its core, it's about giving Hawaiians some form of self-determination and protecting all the important programs and services for Hawaiians, which are constantly under attack in the courts. Having said that, I want to be clear that my door is always open. I'm willing to sit down and listen to your concerns and/or suggestions about this issue and all issues that affect you and your ohana.
I believe the U.S. government through an act of Congress should more formally recognize the special legal/political status of Native Hawaiians. Pending re-organization of a Native Hawaiian Governing Entity, through the process commenced by Act 195 (2011) or a Native Hawaiian-driven process, I would immediately work with the delegation to pass a bill or administrative regulation acknowledging this status, without the government building components that would be difficult to pass at this time.
In 2006, I served as volunteer coordinator for Senator Akaka's re-election campaign. I was then invited to work with him in Washington D.C. I assisted Senator Akaka with programs and legislation directly benefitting Native Hawaiians. Specific efforts included supporting Native Hawaiian 8(a) businesses, and working with Senator Akaka to introduce the Kalaupapa Memorial Act, which passed as part of the Omnibus Public Lands Act of 2009.
Formal recognition of Indian Commerce Clause status of Native Hawaiians would help reauthorization of these important acts. Additionally, tying such reauthorizations to Native Alaskan health and education acts is good strategy because Republican Don Young of Alaska needs Democratic support. Congresswoman Hirono successfully used this strategy in 2011 to obtain reauthorization of $41 million in education funds for Native Hawaiians.
What really strikes me is that we in Hawaiʻi nei have so much to give our nation and the world. What the world desperately needs right now is the spirit of aloha. This aloha is in our collective DNA as a state. It's what our visitors always comment on when they return to their homes. They say, "Yes, Hawaiʻi is beautiful--spectacular oceans, mountains, valleys, waterfalls but there's something intangible about the people who live there." Each of us who live here have the potential of being ambassadors of that aloha spirit to offer to the world.
The Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1921 isn't working and it needs to be revisited. Hawaiians have every right to be on their land and it's wrong that the DHHL has 200,000 acres of land under their control, but meanwhile people wait for generations to get on the land. We need to think out of the box and look at practical things we can do to free up land, such as loosening the regulations. Many homesteaders don't care about the condition of the land, whether it has water and sewer, etc.
Another problem we've got is that many Hawaiians can't afford the homestead homes that are being offered by DHHL. So, we've got to do a better job of assisting Hawaiians to be financially prepared for home ownership. This speaks to the different programs, like HOAP (Hawaiian Ownership Assistance Program) under DHHL, that need continued federal financial support and appropriate oversight.
