David Bates thinks he's Santa Claus. The 69-year-old Tulsan has the physique. He has the beard, a real beard. He has the rosy cheeks, the soft eyes and the warm, jovial smile. He has the red suit, which he bought for about $300. If he didn't already claim to be Santa Claus, it would be recommended that he fill out an application for the iconic role. He would get the job.
Bates is in his fourth year as one of Tulsa's many Santas that grace the city's holiday surroundings and events. After retiring four years ago from St. Francis hospital, Bates decided to kick off his boots, relax and let his hair down -- or, in this case, his beard grow out.
Bates' friends and family members then began to notice his strong resemblance to Santa Claus, and this compelled Bates to dress as Santa for Halloween one year. In his full garb on Halloween night, Bates thoroughly enjoyed each and every time he heard the doorbell ring. The neighborhood trick-or-treaters shared his joy. Their faces changed instantly when Bates opened the door. Some kids froze with astonished looks on their faces, wondering if Bates was crazy and had mistaken which holiday it was. Others immediately lit up and yelled, "Santa!" Naturally, Bates handed out candy canes, which he said "are extremely hard to find in October." It was in the reactions from the kids that Bates reveled. "Where's Rudolph? and "Why are you here?" were some of the children's inquiries.
After that night, Bates knew this would be one Halloween costume worth resurrecting. Shortly after, he heard Philbrook needed a replacement Santa to fill in for the season. "That's when I fell in love with doing it," Bates said. "I don't do malls or shopping centers. Those are too strenuous." He keeps his holiday season schedule full of small individual gatherings, private parties, nursing homes, museum and library trips and hospital visits.
Of course, Santa Claus can't keep his hectic schedule and children's wish lists straight without the help of his right-hand woman, Mrs. Claus. Two years ago, Bates' wife Sandy jumped aboard the sled and began to attend holiday engagements with her husband of 48 years.
When asked about some of the stranger requests that children have made in years past, Bates replied with an, "Oh, mercy." He said the best instances are those when the child is so much in awe that he or she can't remember what they want for Christmas. One specific time, Bates mentioned, was when a 4-year-old boy sat on his lap and very adamantly described the exact Thomas the Train toy that he wanted. "You would have thought this boy was 30 years old the way he animatedly described the toy," Bates said. Another time, Bates was walking through the airport in his "casual" Santa costume (red cotton pants and top) and a child's eyes lit up as he walked by. "Then, the child spun around and ran toward me and hugged on me. She didn't say a word the whole time."
Are young children aware of the economic crisis the nation is dealing with at the moment? "Maybe," Bates said. "Quite a few children have asked for nothing this year. I'm not sure whether or not it's a sign of the time." Bates said he has an auto response for the more sophisticated, thoughtful children. "Are you real?" they ask. "Well, are you real?" he replies. "Yes." "Well, then I am too. I'm right here also."
Touche, little Tommy.
And, what about all the naughty little boys and girls? Bates wisely chooses to turn the question into a fun game. At this point in the interview, he pulls out a white glove, puts it on, and asks this interviewer to pull his finger. Uh-oh. The tip lights up red. Like all the children, this interviewer has been nice, but wonders what happens when the battery dies and little Susie wants to know if she has been good?
I'm a Believer
Imagine 300 Santa Clauses in one setting. If you are a parent, it almost sounds like a nightmare. If you are a music fan, it sounds like a Flaming Lips concert. If you are a David Bates, it sounds like a gathering of who he calls his "helpers," or his peers. Bates traveled to a conference not long ago in Branson, Mo., where hundreds of Santas got together and walked the streets. Although confused, the kids "had no problem and accepted" the mass number. Bates said it was the parents who were freaking out. "They knew they were going to have to explain it to their kids," he said.
Bates said the believer years are from age four to eight. "After that, the seeds of doubt are planted," he said. "But if they want to believe, they will continue to do so." So, Bates continues to perfect his Santa gig as best he can. "You learn how to properly laugh because anything too boisterous will scare them," he said. The gentle giant mentality comes naturally to Bates, a loving father and grandfather who boasted of his own kids' and grandkids' achievements. "You couldn't do this job without having the joy and pleasure of children. That's the best part." Bates also likes to hand out a card to the children he sees that explains God's love for them and that the greatest gift of all was Jesus Christ. For Bates, the legacy and tradition hold the utmost value.
Bates said the best Santas have an absolute love of children and a love for life. However, he said his role as the man in the big red suit isn't always cheery and bright. Last week, Bates spent an afternoon in the gift shop of the St. Francis Children's Hospital. A 2-year-old child and grandmother approached him and Bates asked if the child would be going home for Christmas. The grandmother responded that they wouldn't be going home and the child's condition was terminal. "This breaks your heart," Bates said. "And so I told the child I would pray they get well."
He said he never promises anything to the children, or anything he knows cannot be kept by the parents. Bates also mentioned a heartfelt story that happened in Bartlesville to another Santa Claus he knows. Bates said a child told the Santa they he wanted his dad to come home for Christmas. Santa asked, "Where is he?" And the child said Iraq. "All the men there started crying, and then the Santa said, 'I can't do anything about that, but you know who can?' And he pointed upward," Bates said. "Then everyone prayed he'd come home, and while we prayed a soldier came in from down the hall. We all just started crying and crying."
Makin' a List
Life in the North Pole provides a cushion from the modern world and its technological advancements. While Santa prides himself on his own creativity going on in his renowned toy workshop, he knows he can find ways to make the job a little easier from year to year. Currently, Bates works on customizing a chair of his own. It needs to be sturdy, mobile and extremely comfortable. Made of thick, strong wood, the chair will hold up to 1,100 pounds so the kiddos can pile on. Bates has no plans to start a reindeer farm in T-Town, and his sled runs fine. Plans for a suit upgrade are in order for next year, but other than that, Bates claimed he has all he needs. "All I ever want is the love and adoration of the kids and my family. I already think that I have more than I deserve. I have all I can ask for."

Along with the Rodeo Drive, Monogram Vernis Bel Air is the newest addition to Louis Vuitton's Monogram Vernis line. This clutch was originally created by Marc Jacobs for his debut collection for Louis Vuitton in 1998, named after Bel-Air, a wealthy and prominent faux-gated residential community in the Westside of the city of Los Angeles, California, United States.
Bel Air is crafted from the glossy and feminine Monogram Vernis patent leather with calf leather as its inside lining. The bag can be carried in the shoulder or across the body thanks to its long golden chain strap that can be removed so that the bag can be hand held as an elegant clutch. Bel Air also features a golden signature plaque with the Louis Vuitton signature that unveils a press-stud closure. There are six credit card slots and inside zipped pocket and a flat pocket that can be found inside the bag, it's definitely a very ingenious inside fitting.
Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis comes in two colors, Amarante and Pomme d'Amour. Available at Louis Vuitton for $1,050.

Anjelica Huston Joins Milla Jovovich in The Winter Queen
By Josh Lyons on Jan 16, 2013 with Comments 0
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Seven Arts Entertainment Inc. (OTCQB: SAPX) ("Seven Arts" or the "Company") today announced that subject to contract both Anjelica Huston and David Thewlis have accepted the roles of "Lady Astair" and "Count Zurov" in the picture "The Winter Queen"; They will join Milla Jovovich who has long been attached to star as "Lady Amalia".
Additional casting announcements will be made shortly with principal photography expected to commence this April.
Based on the internationally best selling novel by Boris Akunin and helmed by acclaimed Russian director Fedor Bonderchuk "The Winter Queen" tells the story of intrepid young police detective Erast Fandorin and a mystery that begins with the suicides of several wealthy young men throughout 1886Russia and ends in an extensive plot for global domination.Fandorin's naïve wit and the suave yet volatile Count Zurov are his only protection from the ever more elaborate attempts on his life as he follows the conspiracy from Russia to England and back again; navigating unknown worlds with charm if not with ease. The enigmatic femme fatale Amalia seems to be somehow at the centre of it all, but can the saintly British aristocrat Lady Astair, founder of a string of orphanages which have greatly benefited from the wills of the affluent dead men, really be trusted?
Chief Executive Officer Peter Hoffman stated "Feodor and I are pleased to welcome Ms. Huston and Mr. Thewlis to our international cast of 'The Winter Queen' which will start principal photography this spring. This production will the first of two expected major productions this year."

Minecraft jungle seed 1.8.4 jungle hills and jungle water
This is a wonderful Minecraft 1.8.4 jungle seed with tons of giant jungle trees and even jungle hills, which are hard to make out because of all the underbrush. It's hard to tell where the jungle goes up and down and where it's simply because of foliage.
This is a fun Minecraft jungle seed 1.8.4 for any jungle enthusiast. Players can even find a few jungle temples if they venture far enough out. There are quite a few jungle temples out in this Minecraft 1.8.4 jungle seed.
The seed is: -5137594404538664075
The jungle goes on for ages actually. South are some swamps and other biomes, but to the north the jungle goes on and on. North east and west there are small oceans to escape from the jungle with. This Minecraft seed isn't necessarily limited to the jungle, players can branch out to other adventures.

Wind River Brings Own Android to Market
Embedded specialist Wind River strives to win mobile network users with hardware compliance and its own Android branding.
Wind River is wooing mobile phone manufacturers with test runs and optimization that should make Wind River Android particularly reliable. The Android platform should run especially well on on the OMAP3 platform, but other boards should not present a problem for the mobile and embedded development vendor. Some of their collaborators already include Adobe (Flash), PacketVideo (multimedia player) and Red Bend (firmware over-the-air). New versions of Wind River Android should appear quarterly and concurrent with Android updates. The Intel undertaking will also naturally sell worldwide support for its mobile operating system. Prices have not been announced.
Wind River has already been busy with Android in the past. With the components of its newest Android offering, Wind River plans to optimize the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for its hardware for Android and provide other hardware compatibilities as to multimedia and boot-time acceleration. OEMs and other providers can build in Wind River bootup and termination screens along with extended functions such as gesture options for calls and sending SMS messages. Another example is modified phone functions such as the short/long press behavior of hard and soft keys.
With Texas Instruments, that is also a member of the Open Handset Alliance and the Limo Foundation, Wind River, which was recently acquired by Intel, entered a stragegic partnership in, among other things, Android and OMAP (Open Multimedia Application Platform). In November chip designer ARM instituted its own Android project. Meanwhile Qualcomm set up a new Innovation Center "focused on mobile open source platforms," with Android just among a few others.
The Linux-based mobile network system enhanced its multimedia capabilities in September with its new Android 1.6. It also provided multiple account and sychronization functions in its latest major update to 2.0 in October. Its newest release is Android 2.0.1.

Budgeting for Extended Backpacking
Have you heard that you need at least $50/day to backpack Europe? I'll explain to you why that number is grossly inflated and help you to learn how to save up enough money to travel for several months without being a trust fund kid.
I'm offering this service for free (well, I tried to but it doesn't allow it, so 1 simbi) because I think that everyone should be able to go on a long journey, especially in a foreign land where they can learn about the interconnectedness of the world.
Training & Qualifications
I saved $20k in 10 months working a $13/hour job. I cut all the fat from my life and traveled Europe for 10 months, not even spending half of my money on the trip.
Availability & Preferences
We can message back and forth any time. Or, if you'd rather Skype, I'm available all day Sunday and Monday, evenings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Laura's requests
About Laura Shiley
I have three major passions in life--helping, exploring, and brewing. Last year, I saved up enough money to quit my beloved job as a caregiver for people with developmental disabilities and I hit the ...road for 10 months. During that time, I hitchhiked and Couchsurfed around Europe, learning how to live happily with only what I could carry and how to ask for help. In my free time, I love to make beer, hike, find live music, attempt to make music on my ukulele/cello, help people in any way that they need, learn languages (I'm currently working on Danish), and explore new places. show moreOpen to other proposals

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
Google's efforts to introduce social elements into its search results seem to be gathering steam, and their latest test is "voting buttons" in their organic web results (SERPs).
According to the Google Experimental page for the new vote functionality:
"This experiment lets you influence your search experience by adding, moving, and removing search results. When you search for the same keywords again, you'll continue to see those changes. If you later want to revert your changes, you can undo any modifications you've made. Note that this is an experimental feature and may be available for only a few weeks."
Users are provided with three key functions under this latest social search experiment by Google:
1. Positive Votes
By giving a search result a positive vote, the listing will be moved to the top of the results for that particular keyword search and will be denoted with an orange marker for future reference.
2. Negative Votes
By giving a search result a negative vote, the listing will be removed from the results page and won't be displayed again should you repeat the search in the future.
3. Web Page Recommendations
At the bottom of the results page, Google allows you to recommend a web page that you think is relevant for that particular search term. Should you repeat the search again, that listing will appear at the top of the results.
It's important to note that at this stage the impact of the voting is purely for a users personalized experience, so one user's votes wont impact another searcher's experience.
It does set out more of a challenge for website owners, as with users controlling their search results, it's more important than ever to balance your SEO strategy with search usability. This means that site owners need to ensure their listings appeal the searchers as well as the search engine spiders.
While Google has made no claims that this vote based system will impact its ranking algorithm, it is the sort of social mechanism that could provide a valuable user element to the rank process – assuming they can prevent it from falling victim to spammers and black hat SEO'ers.
To test out this latest Google Search experiment, visit the Google Experimental section of Google Labs.

As announced in April's Budget statement, the Government proposes to introduce a new childcare voucher system from 2015. Yet research* from Jelf Employee Benefits found that over a third (36%) of employers who currently offer a childcare voucher scheme are considering scrapping their existing scheme long before the replacement system is finalised or available. We've been using childcare vouchers since K started nursery and they must have saved us hundreds of pounds.

Gump has a clearly defined model to deal with repositories, modules, projects, etc. Forrest and Centipede are using it. Maven, which had started on the Alexandria-Gump project, forked to the Turbine community and made its own, calling it POM (which sounds like "apple" to me when I read it, or another thing that I prefer not to say when read in an Italian dialect). Now, Gump needs a name for his model, because many think that it doesn't really have one, because Maven gave a unique name to his, and Gump didn't. Overmore, we now need a simple way of accessing it via ant embed input modules, and abstract from the xml definition.

My "fiance's" juniper
This is a juniper that my fiance picked up and I ended up styling and caring for it. Go figure So I need to let the pads develop on the main three branches, the fourth might be chopped. Im also not sure if I want to develop a crown. Feel free to comment.

Re: My "fiance's" juniper
For some reason I can't copy the pic to my graphics program, BUT if this were mine I would remove all of the uppermost (longest) tail, leaving the shorter one below it, and would also remove the downward branches, perhaps leaving enough for a short jin. Id wire some movement into that short, very straight upper branch to start the crown.

Clark Retail Enterprises Honored
Special Olympics Illinois recognizes retailers as its Organization of the Year.
OAK BROOK, Ill. -- Clark Retail Enterprises Inc. has been named Special Olympics Illinois' Outstanding Organization of the Year for its support of the charitable organization.
Clark was selected by a committee to determine which nominee demonstrated the spirit of Special Olympics. Jeff Jones, chief financial officer for Clark, accepted the honor at a reception June 21.
In 1998, Clark named Special Olympics its official charity affiliation. Clark is recognized as a Statewide Sponsor in Illinois and Official Supporter throughout the Great Lakes for Special Olympics. Clark has more than 800 stores in nine Midwest states, including 300 stores throughout Illinois, the company said in a statement.
Clark has assisted Special Olympics through fund-raising, recruiting volunteers and aiding in public awareness. In 2001, Clark raised $200,000 in support of Special Olympics throughout the region, and $90,000 was raised specifically for Special Olympics Illinois. One of Clark's primary public awareness and fund-raising vehicles has been the sale of die-cut icons in the shape of a Special Olympics medal. The medal promotion, currently in its fourth year, runs through July.
In addition to fund-raising, Clark employees are regular volunteers at various Special Olympics events. Last year, two employees personally solicited and collected $12,700 in pledges for Special Olympics based on their completion of the Chicago Marathon.

Uber drivers required to register for an ABN and GST
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has released advice on the tax consequences of travel through ride-sourcingExternal Link (also known as ride-sharing or ride-hailing), provided as part of the 'sharing economy'.
People who provide ride-sourcing services, through companies such as Uber, are providing 'taxi travel' under the GST law. The existing tax law applies and drivers are required to register for GST regardless of their turnover.
Affected drivers must register for an Australian Business Number (ABN), GST, charge GST on the full fare, lodge business activity statements and report the income in their tax returns.
Current drivers that don't have an ABN and are not registered for GST can easily apply online at abr.gov.au.
Recognising that some taxpayers may need to take some corrective actions, the ATO is allowing drivers until 1 August 2015 to get an ABN and register for GST.

like looks?
just curious (:

Men may say that looks aren't important but that's a downright lie, looks make us take notice in a girl, after than we then get to know their personality and in my opinion is if she's bitchy I won't even go near her, unless she is the best looking girl I have ever seen. (call me shallow but hey, I'm a guy.)00|00|0

I would say the most fucked up thing I read about was a sex slave in Borneo named "pony".
She was kept in a compound where she was chained to the wall and had sex with over 400 men when she was only 6 years old. She was covered in sores and mosquito bites when she was rescued by policemen armed with AK47s. If you think I'm making this up click here

the Fritzl case was already mentioned, so check this out :
Four 17 year olds kidnap a 16 year old, raped her, beat her with various objects, introduced foreign objects including a light bulb into her vagina, made her eat cockroaches and drink her own urine, inserted fireworks into her anus and set them off, forced her to masturbate, cut her nipple with pliers, dropped dumbbells onto her stomach, and burned her with cigarettes and lighters. One day, they beat her with an iron barbell, poured lighter fluid on her legs, arms, face and stomach, and set her on fire. She died later that day of shock. The torturers hid her corpse in a 55-gallon drum filled with cement and disposed her body.
@Asker, do you realize you left out the most important part of that story, that Pony was... an Orangutan?
And to think in Indonesian folklore it's said that Orangutan males lust after women.
The Irony.

Debra admits: "I've said the word Fanny so many times and it sounds so rude but you just get used to it. Thankfully, the comedy wears off."
The Impressions Show star Debra plays Fanny for a run of special programmes on More4 on Sunday, giving her take on recipes from the likes of Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver.
And at 10pm there will be a pilot for new show Fanny And Friends, which sees Debra in character helping a housewife cook a Sunday roast.

Balance is the next version of my ball12 game with a new interface.
Balance is a Logical game inspired by a famous variation of weighing coin mathematical problems.
In this game you have 12 balls, 11 of them have the same weight and 1 of them has a different weight, it could be heavier or lighter. You have a two plate's scale and your goal is to find which ball has a different weight, and if it is heavier or lighter than the others. You have to find this out with just three weightings to get the best score.
Source Code
I released the source code of the game here https://github.com/fsvieira/balance. Its a simple small game so I think anyone looking for a ionic/angular example to study may find the code usefully (even if the code is not great, and all messy lol).
The Algorithm
If you have read the previews (balls12) game algorithm you will find this one much more easy, because we don't need to keep track of the individual balls, just total for each group like: Equal, Heavier, Lighter and Unknown.
Maybe I will explain the algorithm on some post, if anyone is interested please post it on the comments.
Happy coding/gaming

"Social media is over,†said James Franco at a recent nonprofit benefit. The actor and write received much attention for live tweets sent out during his co-hosting duties at the Oscars. However, after just a few months of being on Twitter, he's said that he's looking to spend less time on the service.
Is Franco right? Will social media be another online fad to be eventually forgotten like our Geocities home pages and AOL chat rooms? With over 600 million Facebook members and 155 million tweets posted every day, it's not hard to look at the statistics and balk at James Franco's prediction. However, as a Geek Squad Agent who helps the public with their technology every day, I see a more fundamental proof that social media is here to stay: the simple human need to share our experiences.

Cub Food's Pharmacies Named Twin Cities' Best for Second Straight Year
MINNEAPOLIS -- Cub Foods apparently has the right prescription for pleasing the majority of pharmacy shoppers. Twin Cities consumers voted Cub Foods' in-store pharmacies in as the best in the market, for the second year in a row.
MINNEAPOLIS -- Cub Foods apparently has the right prescription for pleasing the majority of pharmacy shoppers. Twin Cities consumers voted Cub Foods' in-store pharmacies in as the best in the market, for the second year in a row.
Responding to the 2005 WilsonRx Pharmacy Survey, an independent study administered annually by Wilson Health Information, local shoppers ranked Cub's pharmacies first in all 20 survey categories. There are 50 Cub Pharmacies in the metro area, all within Cub Foods stores.
The survey was mailed to more than 2,000 homes and completed in May and June. Respondents answered an eight-page questionnaire that compared Cub Pharmacies with other local pharmacies in categories such as satisfaction, convenience, professional service, and employee helpfulness.
"To be voted the best local pharmacy by Twin Cities' shoppers for two consecutive years truly underscores [our] commitment to providing the best pharmacy experience for our customers," said Andy Herring, e.v.p., Cub Pharmacy. "Our goal is to provide customers with expert advice, and we will continue to maintain the highest standards."
Survey respondents said they value the professional services offered by Cub Pharmacy, such as pharmacist advice, health-and-wellness services, bone density and cholesterol screenings, and diabetes counseling and training. Respondents also noted their appreciation of the experience of shopping at Cub Pharmacy, including the friendly staff, wide selection of food, and other nondrug-related items, as well as the convenience and privacy of prescription-filling services.
Cub Pharmacy shoppers reported the highest overall satisfaction, intent to return to their pharmacy to fill and refill prescriptions, and willingness to recommend their pharmacy to friends and relatives.
Cub Pharmacy is the retail brand of Supervalu Pharmacies, Inc. Operating 52 stores in the Twin Cities, Cub Foods was established in 1968 as one of the nation's first discount grocery stores and was purchased in 1980 by Supervalu.

So after several months of texting we saw each other for about a week and got along great. Both were happy and really like each other. He's hesitant about a long distance relationship but we talk every day. He doesn't flirt or we don't send sexy pictures like we did before we met, but wondered if that's because it's real now? Also he doesn't say he misses me or anything but wants to talk everyday. Confused as to what this may mean?
How he acts is different via text in long distance relationshp?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
I was going to say that maybe he does act the same and you just perceive him different, but if he isn't saying the things he usually tells you it's probably because it's easier to talk to people behind a phone than in person. Well, I don't think it is, you can't play off of awkward moments and body language, but others may be intimidated by such conversations.00|00|0

This gorgeous oceanfront, two bedroom, two bath condo at Lae Nani in Kapaa is the perfect place to relax and enjoy yourself with friends and family.
Private, top floor unit (no one above you), featuring high ceilings, a fully equipped kitchen remodeled in April 2016 with granite counter tops, new cabinets, new lighting, farmhouse stainless sink & tile floor.
Enjoy a breathtaking ocean view from our spacious Lanai, walking distance to swimming (beach or pool), recreation and nearby shopping and dining. Ten minute drive from the Lihue Airport, two minutes drive to the award winning Wailua municipal Golf Course.
There is a very comfortable king size bed in the master bedroom and two twins in the second bedroom that can be joined into a queen size bed at your request.
The brand new living room sleeper sofa opens to a queen size bed.
This lovely unit overlooking scenic Wailua Bay is the perfect getaway. The beach is just steps away across the beautifully landscaped vast lawn. Children can wade in the sheltered lagoon or play in the swimming pool. Adults will enjoy the relaxed atmosphere by breakfasting on the lanai and watching the ocean, exotic birds, beautifully landscaped grounds or relaxing with a glass of wine at sunset.
There are also countless activities on site or nearby, from playing tennis at our very own lighted court, to snorkeling, surfing, fishing, hiking or golfing at one of the nearby courses.

Chris and Claudia Prenter. We live in Hermosa Beach, CA with our two children.
Claudia Prenter purchased this condo in 2005
We fell in love with this location. It is the best condo location on the East side of the island. 10 min drive from the Lihue Airport, and 5 minutes from grocery stores. Great restaurants and a shopping mall within walking distance. Located halfway between the South and North shores, it is the ideal place to begin day trips to all the great sights on the island. The complex features a huge open space so kids can play on wonderfully manicured lawns, a beautiful beach, a protected baby beach and a newly refinished pool. Also, the grounds are sheltered from the strong trade winds. For surfers, there is a nice reef break located in front of the unit that breaks consistently year round from the trade wind swells, yet is partially sheltered from the wind.
Our family of four has been enjoying vacations here since 2005 and we have lots of wonderful memories of adventures with our children and extended family. Can't wait to go back!
This top floor unit stays cool because it is exposed to the ocean breeze and has higher ceilings than the lower floors. The ocean view is STUNNING! One of my favorite things to do: while enjoying a glass of wine at the Lanai you can listen to the relaxing sounds of the ocean and the palm fronds swaying in the breeze, the numerous singing birds, and watch the occasional monk seal taking a nap on the beach. Very relaxing!
Dear Claudia,
It was a wonderful stay. I came here for the first time (3rd time in Hawaii) with my wife, mom and mom in law.
The Island is just impeccable, indescribably beautiful, glamorous and everything yummy :)
Unfortunately we found this review book on the last evening of our journey; it is full of useful tourist information.
We are even tempted to buy a condo like this one!
This condo is located in a scenic place surrounded by so many attractions, we, in particular, loved the Kokee National Park in Waimea Cannyon, which was an endless discovery of mother nature!
I've uploaded so many photos in my Facebook and you can see it anytime.
Amongst them all, the best thing in our journey was to choose your condo for our trip ti this Island.
God bless and have a good one!
The C family from South Korea
Kauai has absolutely spectacular scenery! Breathtaking cliffs, the amazingly blue ocean water, waterfalls, turtles, dolphins, Hawaiian Monk Seals, and (in season) whales....the list goes on. And, lots of diverse hiking trails, kayaking, swimming, snorkelling, and just taking in the lovely scenery as you drive from one town to another. Take a raincoat, it's usually raining somewhere on the island!!
Claudia's condo is in a perfect location. It's within walking distance of shops and restaurants, and the historic town of Kapaa. It doesn't take long to drive to all of the other towns and attractions on the Garden Isle.
The condo itself is wonderful, and has everything you need, plus lots of 'extras' to make your stay truly enjoyable. Claudia provides lots of information about the island, activities and shopping as well as extras like boogie boards (Wailua Bay is perfect for using those), books to read, and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need (and more).
The condo complex is very well maintained and beautiful. The view from the lanai is so lovely, overlooking the gardens and beautiful lawn. At night they light the torches, which adds a special touch to the already well placed lighting throughout the grounds.
Claudia, thank you for being so available and helpful with my many questions both before and during our visit. It is obvious that you care about the quality of your guest's stay at your condo and it was a pleasure to be your guest!
Beautiful grounds on the beach, but you'll have to drive to swim or snorkel. We stayed in Hawaii for 2 weeks in 2 different condos. This condo is on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator. There was more sand on the lanai when we arrived than on the ground floor walkway. Cockroaches are common on the islands, but we only saw them in this condo - one dead and one alive - probably due to the condition of the condo. Dust, mold and mildew were found in the bathroom, on the patio furniture and on the circulating fans. Kauai is humid and mildew can be an issue, but it was obvious that these items had not been cleaned or even wiped down. Silverware had been put away dirty and clothing from the last occupant was found in the seat cushions. The white towels, blankets and mattress pads were stained. And beach towels were not provided -- a convenience we've come to expect in a beach rental. I felt bad for the owner who was apparently not aware of how the condo was being kept, but no concession was offered. Having made arrangements and paid for the accommodations a year in advance, we were pretty much stuck.
Very well kept, beautiful, spacious apartment with a sea view. Gorgeous grounds and great location. Thanks for having us.
The mid windward coast location is great for day trips around the island. The property is well maintained. The kitchen is surprisingly well stocked. The beach has a great area for small children.
We have thoroughly enjoyed this lovely condo. Everything one could need is here. The Lae Nani grounds are spectacular, so lush and very well maintained. This condo is in a very convenient location to north and South Island activities. Shopping is close by, Longs drugs, Safeway. Coconut marketplace is right next door with ABC shop and many other small interesting shops and a few eateries. Totally recommend this place. Aloha
Our family of 5 (kids 10, 6, 4) had a wonderful time at Lae Nani, and the condo (431) was very nice and a good value. It was very quiet and peaceful on the third floor, with a beautiful view. We didn't have any issues when we were there and so there was no need to communicate on-site. The pre-vacation communication with owner (Claudia) and broker (ReMax) was excellent. Lae Nani is a great spot for young families and is a convenient location for trips to the north and south of Kauai. We were there with two other couples who stayed in different condos at Lae Nani with young kids (ages 5-12). The pool and communal BBQs were great. There is a great ocean front bar/pub next door called Lava Lava. There is also a farmers market a few hundred feet away where we bought most of our fruits and veggies. The ocean had good snorkelling and a private cove that was safe for the little kids. The other guests were very friendly, and 431 had everything we needed. The group of kids spent a lot of time running around the large and safe grounds. Our group was a bit louder than most but no one seemed to be upset. Everyone was in bed early which probably helped. We would not hesitate to come back to 431 & Lae Nani.
Walking distance to the quaint town of Kapaa, shopping and great restaurants. Lighted Tennis court on grounds. Gated heated pool. Beautiful oceanfront walking/biking path along property.
