Gene purchased this condo in 2009
Our nickname is 'Alii Villas 4 Seasons', and we continually redo and upgrade our condos. We have owned in Alii Villas for over 15 years. We have another two bedroom condo in the same complex and purchased this one bedroom unit in November 2009 because we found this complex to be one of the most desirable vacation rentals on the coast. Everyone is friendly, the grounds are well manicured, the buildings are kept in good repair and we have a very good manager, assistant and groundskeeper; some of the best in all of Kona.
Only one other apartment shares this landing. It is private and quiet. 5 Star quality and a budget price. Specials for returning guests.
I write this review on my last night here ....this place has been my home for The last two weeks. This is my second time here and I most definitely will return again and again. This condo leaves you wanting absolutely nothing more then it can give. It's beautifully decorated...it has everything that you need and more. I used to be a timeshare condo owner but no more. This place is easy to book ...there's no drama ...I can't say enough about it - especially after reading all the other reviews ---there is nothing more to say : just come here and enjoy !! aloha
The condo is beautifully decorated, very comfortable and has a lovely view from the lanai. More importantly, nothing has been forgotten. There is more than enough of everything from bed linens through towels to dishes and cutlery. This is absolutely the best-supplied kitchen I have ever had in a rental. There are spices and condiments available. Also, there is laundry and dish detergent, paper towels, cleaning supplies, first aid supplies, etc. And how nice to have beach chairs and boogie boards for those days by the shore.
Outside the condo, the complex is very nice and the pool is perfect; just warm enough. It is a bit of a walk into town along a busy road, so we preferred to drive, but there is lots of parking in Kailua Kona.
We thoroughly recommend this unit to everyone. The owners are fantastic to deal with and really care about their property and the happiness of their guests. I will be following their lead in furnishing my own new rental property!
We rented this condo upon a recommendation from a friend and it was everything she had said and more. Gene and Charlie have a beautiful condo and have perfected every last detail to make you feel comfortable in their home. The condo has been beautifully remodeled with extraordinary details in every room. The lanai was spacious with table and chairs to enjoy the gorgeous view of the ocean. At night we could hear the ocean waves crashing which was delightful. The beach equipment contained umbrella, chairs, and even coolers which was exactly perfect for a day at the beach. We really can't adequately express how much we enjoyed this condo and would dearly love to return and stay here again. Mahalo Gene and Charlie for making our stay so memorable!
We fell in love with this condo the first time we walked in the door. The unit is beautifully decorated and due to an extensive renovation, has the best layout of any Alii Villa unit. It is stocked with everything you could possibly want to enjoy your time in Kona, not just beach equipment but enough cookware to prepare gourmet meals for a gang. We even had our choice of firm or soft pillows! From the lanai we enjoyed spectacular sunsets while listening to the ocean breeze whistle through the palm trees. It truly is heaven in paradise and we can't wait to return for our fourth stay here. Kudos to Gene and Charlie who are the best hosts ever!
Gene and Charlie have thought of everything for the comfort of their guests. This condo was very comfortable for our 3 week stay. The furnishings were comfortable including the bed. The housekeeping staff do an amazing job in keeping this condo top notch! We found lots of extra sundry items, cooking spices and beach accessories for our use. The condo complex was quiet and the grounds and pool were well maintained. Parking is very convenient to the condo's stairwell. The condo overlooked the pool so it was easy to enjoy it everyday. The walk to town took approximately 20 minutes one way. We appreciated the use of a good washer and dryer along with the in room safe. The owners respond promptly to any questions via email.
Thank you for sharing your home with us. We would recommend your condo to our family and friends.

(Adds dropped word in first paragraph))
* EU's Van Rompuy publishes book on euro zone crisis
* Reflections offer calm assessment of tumultuous period
* Rival book paints more alarming picture of euro zone tensions
By Luke Baker
BRUSSELS, April 29 (Reuters) - Perhaps the darkest moment of the euro zone debt crisis came in the middle of 2012 when Greece stood on the brink of being forced out of the currency bloc and a question mark hung over whether Cyprus would remain in if Athens left.
Two new books closely examine the tumultuous years from 2010 to 2013, but take a very different approach to describing the critical events of May-September 2012, when the long-term future of the European project was genuinely in doubt.
In the first, European Council President Herman Van Rompuy, who chairs meetings of European Union leaders and sat through crisis debates, takes an understated line, playing down any sense of chaos despite the extreme pressures.
The other book - by John Peet and Anton La Guardia of The Economist - paints a much more touch-and-go survival picture for monetary union.
Using calm language and a style that glosses over specifics, Van Rompuy describes the "moment of truth" as coming at a summit of EU leaders on June 28-29, when he pushed the heads of state to agree far-reaching measures to overhaul the monetary union.
"In the meeting itself, leaders sensed that the moment called for a qualitative breakthrough," Van Rompuy writes in "Europe in the Storm", a book that is a series of reflections on his five years as the EU's first permanent Council president.
After late-into-the-night negotiations, leaders agreed that they had to strengthen banking supervision and allow failing banks to get direct help from the euro zone's bailout fund.
"(It) marked a watershed. After more than two years of dealing with countries' problems through ad hoc fire-fighting, leaders had finally come to the realisation that we were not just facing a series of country-specific problems but a systemic crisis that required a systemic response," Van Rompuy writes.
"They rallied unanimously around the need for action for Europe as a whole. We now had a compass."
It is simply put, and perhaps with the benefit of hindsight - now that the worst of the crisis is over and the euro has survived - it seems like all it took to quell the storm.
But at the time the situation was far more tenuous, with financial markets so on edge that any wrong decision or miscommunication could have sent trading into a tailspin, shaking economies across the world, not just in Europe.
That is much more the perspective offered in Peet and La Guardia's book, "Unhappy Union: How the euro crisis and Europe can be fixed".
The authors describe intensely fragile moments, including the European Central Bank and the IMF drawing up hour-by-hour, day-by-day plans to try to manage the departure of a country from the euro zone. Similar contingency plans were developed in the European Commission and the European Council.
But so nervous was everyone about the possibility of their plans leaking that no institution shared what it was doing.
"It all made for a strange dance in the darkness," Peet and La Guardia write. "Within the Commission, staff at the economics directorate had been expressly ordered not to do any work on the response to a possible break-up, even though a discreet group of senior commissioners and officials did just that: plan for a split in the currency zone.
"For all concerned a big dilemma was how much to tell the Greek authorities about the preparations for their country's possible return to the drachma. The answer was: hardly anything at all."
As Reuters reported at the time, euro zone finance officials had even drawn up specific plans for limiting ATM withdrawals, imposing capital controls and shutting down borders if Athens did leave the currency - a distinctly more alarming state-of-play than that described in Van Rompuy's book.
But ultimately both books agree on several points, including the fact that the crisis is not over and more work needs to be done on overhauling the union's architecture if the region's banks are to be made safe and growth sustained in the long run.
And they also largely agree that rather than radical steps, EU member states are likely to soldier on laboriously in the coming years, tackling their problems in fits and starts.
Peet and La Guardia describe that as "muddling through", the unofficial policy that allowed the EU to get through the crisis. Van Rompuy, with his cautious policymaker's point-of-view, calls it "political will", checked by classic EU compromise. (Writing by Luke Baker Editing by Jeremy Gaunt)

Great possibilities, but a great dissapointment
An ending. This whole story just led to the end of a chapter and then quit.
Probably not. She spends far too much time explaining great things that have little to no bearing on the story.
The narration was well done.
It was an Indiana Jones style story. However it ends in a way that is just lazy. If you're leading up to something, then there should be a great ending. It's like she just got tired of writing and ended at the 2nd act.
I would suggest that you choose another book, I wish I had.

great book!

AN OPEN court system with proceedings streamed live to the public and presided over by judges with strong links to the community is the new Queensland Chief Justice's vision of the future.
Tim Carmody, who will soon be sworn in as the state's 18th chief justice, has pledged to be a hands-on administrator who will not shirk the hard decisions as he shepherds Queensland's beleaguered court system into the communications age.
IT'S OFFICIAL: Carmody on 'sniping'
VERDICT: Fitzgerald weighs in on brawl
CARMODY: Career began at a gallop
American-style screenings of court proceedings, live-streamed on the internet, is something he will examine.
"That (live streaming) is something we are going to have to tackle,'' he said.
He said it was clear the information age was already placing greater demands on Queensland's justice system.
"We always work on the principle of open justice but I think we have to give that better expression,'' he said.
"I think that is one of the challenges, how to manage that is the question.
"There is going to be a demand for greater access — we are going to have to meet that.''
Getting courtroom decisions more in line with reasonable community expectations is another priority.
Mr Carmody pledged to preside over a totally independent judiciary.
He said some of the disconnect between the courts and the community may stem from the rise of social media which allowed everyone to express an opinion in the public space, which was not a bad thing.
As his appointment was confirmed yesterday, Mr Carmody declared he was fiercely independent and rejected claims he was in the pocket of the Newman Government.
After a week of controversy surrounding his appointment, he finally had the opportunity to stare down his critics yesterday, warning he would not be swayed by "sniping from sidelines".
"I am fiercely independent," Mr Carmody said as his ascension to the top job was finally announced.
"There will be many times when I disagree with the government's position but … I have the training and long experience to be able to put aside my personal views.
"I won't be hiding in the corner for fear somebody says something by way of criticism ."
Mr Carmody — who was this week attacked as inexperienced and junior — said he was stunned by the outcry over his directive to magistrates on how to apply the bikie laws last year.
He admitted some of his colleagues may have far 'keener legal minds'', but insisted he had the intellect to take on his new role, which he intended to tackle with vigour.
The incoming Chief Justice said he took his critics — who included former corruption buster Tony Fitzgerald — seriously because he respected them.
"Because of the source of the criticism it couldn't be ignored,'' Mr Carmody said.
"I knew that it would be something that the community was concerned about and they would want to be able to reconcile the appointment with the criticism.''
But, after weighing up the criticism, he said he found it "unfounded'.'
"I can do this job, I will do this job, I shouldn't not do this job just because somebody else says I shouldn't," he said.
"I will work hard every day from here on to prove worthy of the trust of the people."
Former head of the Fitzgerald Inquiry, Tony Fitzgerald lashed out at the LNP Government's decision to appoint Mr Carmody to the highest judicial position in the state.
"People whose ambition exceeds their ability aren't all that unusual,'' Mr Fitzgerald said. "However, it's deeply troubling that the megalomaniacs currently holding power in Queensland are prepared to damage even fundamental institutions like the Supreme Court and cast doubt on fundamental principles like the independence of the judiciary."
But Premier Campbell Newman said Mr Carmody was the best candidate.
"I wanted a leader, a leader to take the courts forward and the legal system forward for the next 10 years,'' Mr Newman said. "I also wanted a person obviously who had the respect of their peers in the law. There were many fine candidates but in the end there was only one that has all the qualities required … that is Tim Carmody."
Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie acknowledged Mr Carmody's many achievements including playing a pivotal role in the corruption busting Fitzgerald Inquiry.
After attacks from prominent lawyers including former Crown Solicitor Walter Sofronoff QC and former Supreme Court judge Richard Chesterman QC, who raised concerns about Mr Carmody's perceived closeness to the Government and his backing of its controversial anti-bikie laws, the Queensland Law Society said the profession would support Mr Carmody.
QLS president Ian Brown welcomed the appointment.
"Judge Carmody has a long and distinguished career and we think he will be a fine Chief Justice," Mr Brown said.
The Queensland Police Union president Ian Leavers also praised the appointment, stating: "Tim Carmody is a person who understands the legal system from all perspectives … he is a person who has a deep, accurate and genuine understanding of community expectations and public sentiment."
The Queensland Bar Association declined to comment.
Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk said in a statement the Opposition would "work co-operatively with Chief Justice Carmody".

It sounds like a futuristic sci fi idea: a non-toxic, earth friendly packing material that grows itself and, after it's used, makes a great garden compost. But this isn't fiction - it's mushrooms.
With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), two former Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute undergraduates, Gavin McIntyre and Eben Bayer, came up with the idea to make a composite of mushroom roots that could be used as a packing foam substitute. Their product, which they dubbed Mycobond, is now hitting the market and, according to a NSF press statement, has several advantages for the environment.
First of all, the manufacture of Mycobond requires just 1/8 the energy and 1/10 the carbon dioxide of traditional foam packing material. In fact, most of the manufacturing process is virtually energy-free with the mycelia (the vegetative parts of the mushrooms which consist of masses of branching, thread-like hyphae) simply growing by digesting agricultural starter material (mostly cotton seed or wood fiber) in a dark, room temperature environment.
The growth take place within a molded plastic structure which can be customized for whatever needs to be packed with the mushroom material. That means no energy at all is required for shaping the products. "We don't manufacture materials, we grow them," McIntyre explained in a statement to the media. "We're converting agricultural byproducts into a higher-value product."
The material has another economic benefit as well, he added, because the cost of mushroom packing material isn't tied to the price fluctuations of synthetic materials that are derived from sources like petroleum. "All of our raw materials are inherently renewable and they are literally waste streams," McIntyre said. "It's an open system based on biological materials."
Once fully formed, each Mycobond piece is heat-treated to stop the growth process and then delivered to the customer. Bayer and McIntyre, whose business is called Ecovative, are working to turn the entire process into a packaged kit that will eventually allow shipping facilities, and even homeowners, to grow their own Mycobond materials.
With support from NSF, McIntyre and Bayer are also developing an even less energy-intensive method to sterilize the agricultural waste starter material they use. Sterilization is a necessary step for enabling the mycelia to grow because it kills any spores that would compete with the growing-for-packing-material mushrooms. McIntyre and Bayer have been using a steam-heat sterilization process but they've now come up with a treatment made from cinnamon-bark oil, thyme oil, oregano oil and lemongrass oil that will allow the Mycobond mushroom product to grow in the open air, instead of their current clean-room environment.
"The biological disinfection process simply emulates nature in that it uses compounds that plants have evolved over centuries to inhibit microbial growth," McIntyre said in a press statement. "The unintended result is that our production floor smells like a pizza shop."

Epigenetics and Skin Cancer Prevention
In our previous blog posts we discussed the role played by UVB in initiating the development of skin cancer via direct DNA damage and production of free radicals. The good news on that front is that new research revealing the power of topical antioxidants and anti-inflammatories will eventually result in a new generation of safer and more effective sunscreens.
In the meantime, research in another field—epigenetics—is poised to change the way we look not just at sun protection, but skin care overall. Its impact on treatments for aging skin will be profound, and I'm eager to go into more detail. For now, though, we'll focus on the questions at hand: Just what is epigenetics? And, what does epigenetics have to do with skin cancer?
What do we mean by Epigenetics?
Epigenetics means literally 'on top of' genetics. It refers to heritable changes that are not actually encoded in the DNA, but nevertheless do play an important role in how your genes express themselves. For instance, epigenetics explains why a skin cell looks different from a muscle cell or a liver cell. Though all three cells contain the same DNA, their genes are expressed differently (turned 'on' or 'off'), turning them into very different types of cells. Some of the best-known epigenetic mechanisms that can switch genes 'on' or 'off' include DNA methylation, histone modifications and non-coding RNA.
Epigenetics and Skin Cancer
Now let's go back to UV exposure and skin cancer and bring in the epigenetics piece of the puzzle. We know that in the initiation stage, UV exposure damages the DNA. This damage results in a cascade of events ranging from inflammation and erythema to sunburn. However, when excessive UV exposure overwhelms DNA repair capabilities epigenetic changes such as alterations in DNA methylation can occur. Results could mean altered gene expression, cell membrane damage, apoptosis (cell death) and a compromised immune system. This in turn can lead to all sorts of unwanted outcomes including immunosuppression, gene mutations and skin cancer.
There are many ways epigenetic changes promote skin cancer development. One example is a UV-induced mutation in the p53 tumor suppressor gene. Skin cells carrying the p53 mutation are resistant to apoptosis (cell death) and undergo clonal expansion that can lead to the formation of actinic keratoses (age spots) and squamous cell carcinoma.
Dietary Polyphenols
It's beginning to sound like the more we discover, the bleaker the outcome. However, there is a bright side—and it's very bright indeed.
Here's the good news: Evidence accumulated over the past decade strongly suggests that diet and environmental factors directly influence epigenetic mechanisms in humans. We can have an impressive measure of control over how healthy we are, because while we can't change our genes, we can influence how they are expressed.
Further study in epigenetics holds great promise in treating aging skin (stay tuned for future blog posts…), but important discoveries have already been made with respect to diet and skin cancer prevention. In particular, dietary polyphenols from green tea, turmeric and broccoli have been found to exert chemopreventive effects by regulating epigenetic mechanisms.
Turmeric: The ability of curcumin to induce apoptosis in cultured cancer cells by several different mechanisms has generated scientific interest in the potential for curcumin to prevent some types of cancer.
Broccoli: This interesting article discusses sulforaphane (found in broccoli) and its potential to prevent skin cancer. Dr. Sally Dickinson, a research assistant professor in the University of Arizona Pharmacology Department, has been investigating broccoli's chemopreventive properties. She says, "We're searching for better methods to prevent skin cancer in formats that are affordable and manageable for public use. Sulforaphane may be an excellent candidate for use in the prevention of skin cancer caused by exposure to ultraviolet rays." The twist to her research is that rather than advising her patients to eat broccoli she is having them apply suforaphane directly to their skin, telling them to think of it as a broccoli-based sunscreen additive. Sounds like a plan! If you're like me, wearing broccoli is much more palatable than eating it!
Sun Protection Tips
In addition to drinking green tea and eating your broccoli, you can wear it—literally. Look for green tea-based spray on mists or make one yourself. It's easy and frugal. Drink your green tea, but don't throw away the tea bags. Let them steep overnight in filtered water—about one bag per cup of water. If you steam your broccoli or boil it in a bit of water add the remaining water to your green tea mixture. Keep the blended mist refrigerated.

• Nuggets-Lakers series scouting report | Series page
In a complete reversal of roles in Game 2, it was the Denver Nuggets, not the Los Angeles Lakers, who showed their championship mettle. The Nuggets came back from a double-digit first-half deficit, made the big plays down the stretch, and got clutch scoring and defense from their star. The Lakers, on the other hand, blew the lead, missed free throws and could not execute in the closing minutes. Over the course of the first two games of this series, neither team has established itself as the favorite -- which is now best of five, with Denver having the home-court advantage.
Phil Jackson has to be extremely concerned with the decision-making of his perimeter players, as bad shots, turnovers and failure to recognize situations plagued the Lakers throughout Game 2. They will lose this series if this doesn't improve in Game 3.
Bad decisions led Derek Fisher to take bad shots and Shannon Brown to drive right at Chris Andersen at the rim. Sasha Vujacic had his 3-pointer blocked with Pau Gasol posted on Linas Kleiza, while Fisher launched a contested 3 with Gasol having J.R. Smith posted inside in the fourth quarter.
Contrast this with Kobe Bryant, who saw Andersen switched onto him in the post in a key second-half possession. Bryant released to the corner, drawing Andersen out of the lane. Then he caught the pass and ripped baseline for a dunk. Bryant did what good NBA players do: He recognized the situation, read the play and reacted to what he saw.
In Game 2, the Lakers' guards were just reacting to activity without recognizing or reading situations. This was especially evident in post-up situations, which led to tipped passes and turnovers in crucial situations. Both Fisher and Luke Walton had second-half turnovers trying to force the ball into Gasol. Fisher fired it inside with Kenyon Martin denying and deflecting the pass, and Walton threw the ball over Gasol's head when he was still trying to get position.
In Game 3, the Lakers must have the patience to wait for Gasol to establish position and call for the ball, and the guards must use a pass fake before the entry to avoid deflections. Gasol's frustration with his guards was evident. He took only nine shots in Game 2, so look for more of an emphasis on getting Gasol the ball in the half-court offense.
With Bryant being guarded by seven different defenders in Game 2 and expecting more of the tag-team approach in Game 3, the Lakers must get more production from their perimeter shooters, especially Fisher and Vujacic. The duo was a combined 1-for-13 in Game 2. Bryant even attempted to get Vujacic going in the first half, passing up scoring opportunities on the break to get Vujacic two wide-open jumpers. They were both missed. Bryant may have to abandon that plan in Game 3 if his supporting cast cannot deliver.
Bryant can post almost any of the defenders Denver throws at him, and the Lakers' best set to do this has Kobe flashing from the weak side with a shooter on Kobe's side in the corner. This prevents Denver from doubling on the ball side and gives Denver only three defenders to help in the paint.
If the Nuggets trap from the weak side, the diagonal pass to the opposite block or wing is available on the ball reversal. With Denver expected to trap Bryant more and more in Game 3, expect this set to be effective for the Lakers if they can get a quick ball reversal. If Lamar Odom is on the receiving end of this pass, he must abandon the finger rolls and finish stronger at the rim.
The Lakers must also find a better way to get Bryant his opportunities at the end of Game 3. The Nuggets jammed him up twice at the top of the floor when the Lakers went to a high pick-and-roll, which takes away Kobe's space to work. Contrast this with last season's endgame strategy against Boston, when Bryant was isolated against Ray Allen and the other Lakers flattened out on the baseline. Look for Jackson to go back to that strategy in Game 3 to give Kobe a chance to attack in space.
Before Game 3, Jackson should take a moment to watch the Cleveland-Orlando Game 2 tape. All he has to watch is the last second of the game. Bryant, the best closer in the game, has to be allowed the opportunity to tie or win the game with the last shot.
Defensively, the Lakers must quickly flood toward Carmelo Anthony when he catches the ball. They cannot allow him a running start to the basket. Look for renewed defensive aggressiveness toward Anthony in Game 3, with Trevor Ariza, Walton and Bryant denying hard, and extra defenders flying Carmelo's way when he catches. Andrew Bynum and Odom must make more of a total commitment to this rotation; they must get there faster. Just a hand in the face isn't enough. And it may be time to put Anthony on his back if he continues to live at the rim.
Now that Kleiza has asserted himself with four 3-pointers in Game 2, the Lakers must have a better plan for contesting him on the catch in Game 3. On his first 3-point attempt that got him rolling, Walton had to help too deep when Smith blew by Vujacic from the top. With both feet in the paint, Walton had no chance to get to Kleiza.
In Game 3, L.A. must either stay flatter on the ball handler on top to keep Walton from having to help as much, or bring the weakside defenders deeper into the paint so that the baseline defender on the drive side -- in this case, Odom -- can cheat to Kleiza and contest with more length.
The Nuggets' biggest adjustment in Game 2 came when things were completely unraveling in the second quarter. His team down 14 and giving up layup after layup, Anthony decided it was time for him to guard Bryant. When Anthony began denying Bryant and going chest-to-chest with him, everything changed for the Nuggets, and Denver cut the Lakers' lead to one in less than three minutes.
That defensive mentality carried over to the second half of Game 2 as well, with Chauncey Billups denying hard on a Jordan Farmar cut that led to a deep, forced jump shot by Gasol at the end of the shot clock. It was evident again when Birdman sprinted from the rim at the offensive end to trap Bryant on the wing 75 feet away, forcing Bryant into a charging foul in the lane.
But it was most evident on the last play of the game, as Nene flew out to Derek Fisher in the corner to contest and prevent a tying 3-point shot at the buzzer.
This defensive effort is the key for Denver in Game 3. Expect them to continue to deny, grab, hold, push and lean on Bryant all night with multiple defenders, with Anthony guarding him at crunch time. The Nuggets have made it pretty clear that they are going to foul Bryant on every play as he tries to cut or post and force the officials to make the calls.
An area of continued concern for the Nuggets in Game 3 is their defensive boards, as they gave up 13 offensive rebounds, five each for Gasol and Odom. Denver must get their guards involved in that action by getting all five defenders into the paint on Lakers shot attempts.
Offensively, the Nuggets did a masterful job of putting Kenyon Martin on the baseline behind the Lakers' rotations, which led to easy baskets as the Lakers tried to flood toward Carmelo. Martin's 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting was a huge contribution, and this will force L.A. to pay more attention to him in Game 3. This could then open things up for Nene to flash or attack the offensive glass.
George Karl continues to move Anthony around on the floor, making denial and rotations more difficult for the Lakers' defense. But it is Carmelo's aggressiveness that is key to the entire scheme. He was ferocious in Game 2, attacking off the dribble and on the offensive boards. Anthony is playing with the confidence of an MVP candidate, so expect him to continue his assault on the rim in Game 3.
Also look for the Nuggets to continue going with a smaller lineup in Game 3 with Kleiza as the 4. This forces Bynum to the bench and negates his offensive advantage, as well as the Lakers' dominance on the boards. Bynum's absence means more offensive rebounds for the Nuggets, as Anthony got five and Kleiza three in Game 2.
And with Anthony getting increased attention, it may be Chauncey Billups who goes back into the "Mr. Big Shot" role in Game 3. Bryant can't guard them both.
X factors
Bench scoring. Outside of Kleiza, the Nuggets got only five points from Smith, Andersen and Anthony Carter in Game 2.
For both teams, the officiating will be a critical factor. There were fouls on nearly every play in Game 2, with bodies flying all over the floor and players on both teams hitting the deck on nearly every possession. Look for early whistles in Game 3 to prevent a repeat of that mayhem.
Los Angeles
Odom must be more assertive on offense in Game 3. The Lakers will need his scoring with Denver gang-tackling Bryant on every possession.
When Ariza got taken down in Game 2 and Gasol got shoved into the baseline seats, the Lakers did very little to respond. The toughness they showed during the regular season is now being tested.
This series has a resembled Detroit's 2004 NBA Finals victory over Los Angeles, in which the Pistons won one game in L.A. and gave another one away. They took that confidence home with them and won every game after that.
Denver has the same momentum, and the same point guard in Billups. Knowing it could be up 2-0, and having won 16 straight at home with a 6-0 home record in the playoffs, Denver has to feel it can take command of this series in Game 3.
But the Lakers were the best road team in the NBA this season, and coming off a game they felt they gave away, they will come in wounded and with a sense of increased urgency. With Byrant's supporting cast failing him, he could very well post his biggest scoring number of the playoffs. Look for Game 3 to be a raucous, rowdy affair, with plenty of hard fouls and contentious moments -- which is just the way the Nuggets want it.

Ubisoft made the announcement official during Gamescom: the follow-up to the spectacular Rayman Origins will be a Wii U Exclusive, set to release this holiday season as a launch title for Nintendo's new console.
Last year's Rayman Origins was a title that landed on nearly every system imaginable. The title came to Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii, 3DS and even the PS Vita. That makes the exclusivity news for Rayman Legends all the more surprising. When the game was revealed at E3 it was only shown off on the Wii U, but we just chalked that up to Ubisoft wanting to highlight the new tablet controls for the Wii U version. Now it appears as though the Wii U version was the only one shown because it's the only version that exists.
Now, there's still hope Rayman Legends will come to other consoles later down the road. Maybe it's a Wii U timed exclusive, after which Ubisoft will choose to develop it for more system as long as its proven successful. Let's cross our fingers that is the case.
Here's the game's official Gamescom trailer:

After the install of beta I'm getting
"Account details are only available for Google Apps for Business" on the dashboard widget.

Adam, could we take a look at your debug logs? I will PM you with details regarding uploading them to us.
Mar 21, 2011 at 10:15 UTC
There is a fix for this in beta 3. When you get a chance could you upgrade to the latest beta and verify that you no longer see the same message on the widget and mailbox data is displayed on the corresponding tab of the IT Service entry?
Mar 23, 2011 at 7:29 UTC
It appears to be fixed now. I did have to remove the server and re-create it. Thanks for the update.
Mar 23, 2011 at 10:48 UTC
Glad its working for you now, thanks for the help!
Mar 24, 2011 at 6:22 UTC
I just checked it and the same problem seems to be showing up again.
Mar 24, 2011 at 9:17 UTC
Also still having this issue with mine in beta 3. A rescan seems to correct the dashboard widget temporarily and mailbox tab temporarily but it does not stay that way.
Mar 24, 2011 at 11:09 UTC
Adam and Robert, can you perform an additional test for me?
Navigate to Settings>Network Scan>At the very bottom of the page "Show Additional Settings"
Can you change the value for "Collect Google Apps Data Nightly After..." to some time not between the hours of 2am-5am?
We think we may be getting a funny response from the Google App's APIs between these hours, so we just need to verify you don't see this behavior if the scan takes place at a different time.
Mar 24, 2011 at 11:21 UTC
Set mine on 23. I will check it tomorrow to see if the widget loads correctly or if I need to do a rescan to see the information.
Mar 25, 2011 at 6:07 UTC
I just set mine to 20, we'll see what happens.
Mar 25, 2011 at 8:22 UTC
When i came in to check this morning i did not have to do a rescan. The widget was loaded properly and seemed to be working just fine.
Mar 25, 2011 at 10:39 UTC
Thanks, looks like that is what causing the breakage. As a temporary fix just leave the scan time where you have it. We'll have a fix ready by release so that it does not break with the default values.
Mar 28, 2011 at 7:04 UTC
Works good here now too.
Apr 4, 2011 at 10:43 UTC
There is a fix for this in the newest beta(5.1.65885). You can now set the Google Apps scan time to any value you want without it breaking!
Thanks again for your help tracking this down guys!

Britain has approved the use of a "gene editing" technique to modify human embryos for research purposes and allow scientists to understand the development of an embryo in its first seven days.
The government's Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority gave the go-ahead for the technique to a team from the Francis Crick Institute in London, subject to approval by a research ethics committee.
"As with all embryos used in research, it is illegal to transfer them to a woman for treatment," the authority said.
The Francis Crick Institute said it wants to use the research, led by Dr Kathy Niakan, "to understand the genes human embryos need to develop successfully" and study the causes of miscarriages.
"Dr Niakan's proposed research is important for understanding how a healthy human embryo develops and will enhance our understanding of IVF success rates, by looking at the very earliest stage of human development - one to seven days," said Paul Nurse, the institute's director.
Discussing the institute's application earlier, Niakan said the technology "allows very specific alterations to be made to the genome."
"By applying more precise and efficient methods in our research we hope to require fewer embryos and be more successful than the other methods currently used," she said.
Embryos would be used solely for research purposes and would be "donated by informed consent and surplus to IVF treatment," Niakan said.
Chinese scientists made the world's first report of CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing of embryos last year, saying they had attempted to alter a gene that causes a blood disorder.
Critics of the use of the technology have raised concerns that it could eventually be used to alter DNA to create "designer babies."

I believe it's not possible to directly know the ones you don't follow who follow you. It's a good idea though. I like it! You can contact the admins and propose this idea. They take our feedback seriously, process it and make it happen if possible. I think it would be a good idea to know the ones who follow us whom we don't follow.
Yes, it is possible to know the follows of other people ONLY IF their profile is not private. Go to their profile and have a look at the left hand side. You'll see the icon "follows". Up there you'll find two icons "Followers" and "Following". That's where the treasure is! Hahaha.
Hope this helps. :)11|00|0

On his recent trip to France, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wouldn't stop with his invitations to the local Jews to relocate to Israel. So, Paris' Jewish community responded, leaving Netanyahu red-faced.
First, he was asked not to attend Sunday's march against terror in Paris by none other than French President Francois Hollande. But despite his host's wishes to not turn the march into another Israel-Palestine issue, Bibi came, and as Hollande suspected, he did try to make the Charlie Hebdo shooting all about Israel and Jews.
On top of that, during his speech at the Grand Synagogue in Paris, Netanyahu extended an open invitation to the region's Jewish community to migrate back to the Holy Land. While motivating nationals of a country to relocate is inappropriate any time, doing so at a time when the entire France has united to fight terrorism was an extremely unintelligent move on Netanyahu's part. His timing couldn't have been any worse.
Hence, without explicitly rebuking his unwanted advances, a local Jewish leader started singing the French national anthem, the Marseillaise – instead of Israel's Hatikvah – just when Netanyahu had finished his speech and was about to descend down from the podium.
Having gotten his answer, the look on Netanyahu's face was priceless!

* Sees FY rev at $430 mln - $455 mln, vs est $422.1 mln
* Fourth-quarter rev at $132.7 mln vs est $124.1 mln
* Fourth-quarter ad revenue down 14 pct at $112.3 mln
* Quarterly traffic up 20 pct
* Shares up 14 pct after market
Feb 21 (Reuters) - WebMD Health Corp's fourth-quarter revenue fell less than expected and the health information website forecast 2013 results above analyst's estimates, sending its shares up about 14 percent in extended trading.
The company, which has been struggling with falling advertising revenue, said it expects to incur a per-share loss of 13 to 45 cents from continuing operations this year. Analysts are looking for a loss of 44 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
"Our guidance reflects anticipated savings we expect to achieve in 2013 from restructuring actions initiated in the fourth quarter," Chief financial officer Tony Vuolo said on a conference call with analysts. The company in December said it would cut about 250 jobs, or 14 percent of its workforce.
At $430 million to $455 million, the health information provider's revenue forecast for 2013 was also well above the average analyst estimate of $422.1 million.
WebMD's earnings have been hit as consumers use its websites for specific information only without surfing the other content on the site.
Ad revenue fell 14 percent to $112.3 million in the fourth quarter, leading to a 12 percent decline in overall revenue to $132.7 million.
Vuolo said WebMD's biopharmaceutical customers were dealing with the impact of patent expirations, launch delays and budget cuts, which was affecting their spending on the company's core offerings.
However, the fall in revenue was less than expected as analysts had anticipated fourth-quarter revenue of $124.1 million.
Total traffic to WebMD's websites rose 20 percent to 2.57 billion pages during the quarter and unique users per month increased 28 percent, the company said.
About 30 percent of the traffic came from mobile users.
WebMD took a charge of $7.6 million related to restructuring in the fourth quarter. The company does not expect any restructuring charges in the first quarter.
Net loss in the fourth quarter was $6.1 million, or 12 cents per share, compared to net income of $19.2 million, or 33 cents per share, a year earlier.

I think they are cute.
Have an opinion?
If Cindy Crawford didn't have her mole, she'd get kicked out of bed for eating chocolate chip cookies in bed. As she is she can get away with soda crackers.
I find it hard to see beauty in flawlessness.
Don't really think anything of them.
indifferent :)
No that is sexy beauty marks are :D
That's not weird, but I'm not a good fan of them, but only on face. I don't have anything against them when they are on other parts.
I'm entirely indifferent to that. It makes no difference.
If it's attractive it's called a beauty mark, if it's ugly it's called a mole. So it really depends.
I'm not sure but I think I would like to see a normal face.
Depends on the size and the positioning. Those little ones close to the mouth can be very sexy, for instance.
It depends on how big it is. A picture of yours would help me decide if it would bother me or not
Indifferent, can be cute or whatever. Doesn't make a difference, no need to worry about it.
My wife has one don't mind it a bit and I got so used to it I don't even see it anymore unless someone mentions it.
they don't really matter
Its cool i like it👍
If you're hot, it's okay.

Gurdeep Singh Chadha, better known as Ponty Chadha, never made a secret of the fact that he built his business empire on the back of his connections with politicians and bureaucrats across north India. So after he died in a blaze of gunfire in a shootout with his brother Hardeep, it is not surprising that every day the police comes out with new theories—that rivals got them bumped off, that the guards were paid to shoot Ponty, that the ballistic reports don't add up and so on. The police are also examining the role of Sukhdev Singh Namdhari, head of the Uttarakhand minorities commission, who was present during the incident and who has since then been sacked. Namdhari was reportedly appointed through Ponty's influence. The police suspect that he, along with some of Ponty's rivals in the liquor trade, may have been instrumental in planning the shootout, calling the brothers to the farmhouse for a settlement of a lingering property feud between them.
At the heart of the bloody death in the Chhattarpur farmhouse on the outskirts of Delhi is the fact that Ponty was a master in the art of multiplying money overnight. His interests ranged from liquor retail, real estate, sugar, paper, films and entertainment. His empire, better known as the Wave Group, is conservatively valued at Rs 6,000 crore. Chadha's brothers, sons and a grandson run parts of the empire, but it is Ponty's networking skills that kept the group ahead. Having established his exclusive sway over the liquor trade across Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab and Haryana, he chose to enter a completely different one—that of supplying 'panjeeri' (ready-to-eat whole wheat food supplement) for distribution to poor children in government schools. Today, this segment alone is said to be worth Rs 9,000 crore—a figure incredibly close to UP's liquor trade, valued at about Rs 12,000 crore.
|Brothers Gurdeep (Ponty) and Hardeep (right) died in a big gunfight at a Delhi farmhouse they both wanted to keep.
No change of government made any difference to his clout. An upright Uttar Pradesh bureaucrat, who has seen Ponty's modus operandi from close quarters during both Mayawati's and Mulayam Singh Yadav's tenures as chief ministers, says, "Ponty Chadha had emerged like a super government: he could own anything he laid his hands on. The Mayawati government went to the extent of doling out huge chunks of prime land along NH-24, where he carved out two prime Noida sectors under the banner of Wave City that helped him reap a rich harvest."
Ponty's meteoric rise completely overshadowed his humble beginnings. His father Kulwant Singh began by selling fried fish from a hand-cart parked outside a country-made liquor shop in Peeru-Madara town, located between Ramnagar and Moradabad. Way back in the 1980s, a Garhwal-based journalist called Umesh Dobhal was bumped off for running a campaign against the clandestine sale of liquor in the hills, where it was prohibited. Ponty was even accused of adulterating a popular Ayurvedic tonic with alcohol to work around prohibition laws.
At least a dozen prominent politicians of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, along with an equal number of IAS officers from the two states, have reportedly invested their ill-gotten wealth in Ponty's companies. With his death, their biggest worry now is to retrieve their money.

Energy services company Proserv has been awarded a series of contracts worth a combined value of more than US$11mn for its production control new-build and after-market services in the Middle East

The Bioko Oil Terminal could become the largest oil and petroleum storage facility in West Africa following the signing of an agreement between the government of Equatorial Guinea and Arabian Energy
Both parties have agreed to collaborate on the development, implementation, construction and financing of the petroleum tank farm in Equatorial Guinea, following the signing in Saudi Arabia on 11 May. The project is worth US$500mn and is slated to include 22 storage tanks and a total capacity of 1.2mn cubic metres. It will be built in two phases, with the first consisting of creating the infrastructure for refined production, and the second for developing capacity for storage, handling and blending of products such as diesel, jet fuel, gasoline and naphtha. Shared terminal infrastructure is expected to be on a "first come, first served" basis. The aim is for the facility to be an African centre for the distribution of petroleum prodicts and crude oil, stimulate job creation in the region, reduce the reliance on oil imports and attract investment.
The Equatorial Guinean government is ambitious about the potential of the facility. "The Bioko Oil Terminal is a first-of-its-kind storage facility for West Africa and would bring to the region energy security and transport economies of scale and efficiencies like we have never seen before," said Gabriel Mbaga Obiang Lima, Equatorial Guinea's mines and hydrocarbons minister.

Zac Efron layered his denim and leather jackets as he went through security at LAX yesterday afternoon. The actor was back on the West Coast for a few days after sitting front row with Kellan Lutz and Joe Jonas at the Calvin Klein show during NYFW. He'll be heading back to the Big Apple soon to shoot his cameo in New Year's Eve. He was focused on his fitness during his short time in LA and showed off his California pride while he got in a workout last week. Zac also made time to attend Rihanna's 23rd birthday bash on Sunday after she performed at the NBA All-Star game.

Angelina Jolie has been made an honorary dame by the Queen.
The 39-year-old Oscar-winning actor is the first American woman to ever receive the title.
Foreigners are rarely bestowed such honours in the UK and as such Jolie is not permitted to be addressed as "Dame". Irishman Bob Geldof was awarded an honorary knighthood for his Live Aid initiative in the 1980s and Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates followed in 1995.
Jolie, who is a passionate advocate for human rights and a mother of six, was presented with the Insignia of an Honorary Dame Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George at a private audience with the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
She was recognised in the 2014 Diplomatic Service and Overseas Birthday Honours list and received the honorary damehood for services to UK foreign policy and the campaign to end sexual violence in war zones.
As well as her film career, Jolie also undertakes numerous duties as special envoy of the UN High Commissioner of Refugees, Antonio Guterres a role she has held since 2012. Since then she has focused on and visited sites of complex emergencies including the Syrian border.
Her humanitarian work came into the spotlight when she was appointed a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2001.
Since then she has visited about 50 countries, including Afghanistan and Jordan, to meet refugee families and people displaced by war. Earlier this year she hosted a global summit in London to end sexual violence during conflicts alongside British Foreign Secretary William Hague and Australia's army chief Lieutenant General David Morrison.
Last year she was awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her work with victims of sexual violence.
The award is considered the Humanitarian Academy Award as it is presented to "an individual in the motion picture industry whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the industry," according to the UNHRC.
Friday's meeting with the Queen, when she wore a bone-coloured two-piece skirt suit and open-toed grey stilettos, was Jolie's first public appearance since marrying Brad Pitt in August.
The couple married in front of a small group of family and friends inside their French home.
She wore a Versace gown complete with a cathedral veil that was embroidered with drawings by her children.
The actor is expected to visit Australia in November for the world premiere of her film Unbroken.
As the director of the World War II story, based on the life of Olympic athlete and American war hero Louis Zamperini, she spent six months living and filming on location around NSW and Queensland.

What is the size of one tv, what does the lighting mean and is there any sounds or just lights going on and off?
And if someone knows a video of this artwork tell me please
Most Helpful Guy
There's very little information on the piece, but from what I gather, it pulses lights at specific frequencies. If you stand in front of it with your eyes closed, it stimulates your optical nerves and creates a perception of colors and shapes.11|00|0
This artist did another installation that sounds amazing. It had a projector with an image of something, as well as an infrared sensor, and as soon as you walked into the room the sensor detected your presence and turned the projector off.
- Show AllShow Less
No, the colors and shapes were apparently in your mind.
I don't know why there are three screens. Maybe to provide directional lighting or different patterns.
hmm interesting thank you! :)

lol google it...
but looks interesting
I think reflection, repetition, isolation, different parts/faces of an entity etc...
also I think oppression, punishment with little hope, loss of senses and perception of time...
also can be window to the outside, a screen for you to imagine your own dreams instead of watching someone else's00|00|0

I am needing some advice.
Do you have a contract just for wedding cakes or party cakes as well? I am wanting one for both but I'm not exactly sure how to seperate the two. Or if I should just have one and have them initial next to the statements that apply.
The reason I'm asking is because I just had a mess with a customer. She had told me all along she needed the cake for the 11th. I have it in a facebook email and written down everywhere that she told me. (I'm home based so for party cakes I haven't done any type of written consent.) Well luckily my mom works with this lady and the two of them were talking about it. My mom told the lady I was planning on the 11th. The lady freaked out and said oh no I need it for the 7th! So I called the lady and said, you told me the 11th, blah, blah, blah. She said oh I am so sorry I don't know what I was thinking when I told you the 11th, I need it for the 7th. She told me this on the 3rd. This wasn't just a sheet cake. This was a 2 tier fondant present cake. (in pictures). It wouldn't have been too big of a deal but I already had a promo deal going on that weekend. Needless to say I was a little upset!
With all of that said, I'm just wondering how or even if the two contracts need to be different.
I currently don't have a "contract" for party cakes, I do require that all cakes over $100.00 be paid in full before delivery (like the wedding cakes), but that's it.
On the other hand, I avoid the confusion you're talking about because as soon as someone orders a cake (even if it's a $20.00 cake) I enter it into my Cake Boss computer program and email them an invoice with all the information and tell them to check it and make sure it's correct, once they send me back an ok email I then print the two out and staple them and put them in a file. Then if there is any controversy I've got the invoice with the email from them saying everything looks correct!
KHalstead - thank you so much! I don't feel a contract is needed but I didn't know how else to do it. In fact I think a contract is way too much or party cakes. The invoice is a good idea! I don't have CAKE BOSS but I'm thinking I should get it! It would definitely help the professionalism aspect! thanks again!
here's a bunch of listings for free invoice templates. Maybe you could download one and put your info on it and save it and then use it until you get cake boss?
oh my gosh you are amazing!! thank you!!!!!
I call all cakes special occassion cakes. Doesn't matter if it's a wedding or a birthday. It makes it easier to have one contract and figure out pricing.

As businesses increasingly operate as extended enterprises, in collaboration and without siloes, having leadership and a work force that 'get' supply chain management in all its facets can create and sustain business advantage.
Progressive companies are building their understanding of Supply Chain Management and Logistics from the traditional cost center and transforming to a view of these disciplines as creators of value in terms of customer loyalty through service reliability and continuous improvement, revenue generators and even cost savings centers. In the digital information age, social media and omni-channel retail realities of the highly unpredictable, global economy have caused organizations to look to their supply chains for reduced costs, profit and margin contribution, and better use of capital.
Education and continuous development of supply chain management talent has never been more important.
