- Experience the non-tourist side of Maui. You cannot walk out the door to the beach but what you can do is feel like you woke up in that spot that you pictured in your dreams when you thought of what Hawaii would be like. You can certainly hike from the house to you own private pebble beach cove, a 30 minute walk through old pineapple field roads (an exclusivity just for you due to our unique location). There is also Twin Falls just 5 minutes by car where you can go swim in natural forming pools at the base of hidden waterfalls in our tropical forests. Hike in a bamboo forest! And if you are lucky, JAWS might be up for you. It is just two bays away and you could walk to it. We are the tropics with elegance thrown in!...moreless

My family and I rented this beautiful home in Haiku for our recent vacation to Maui. The house is more spectacular in person! The website is fantastic, but it really must be seen in person to get the real feel. Eveything is so well maintained from the grounds to the home itself. Everything was very clean upon our arrival. The owners were extremely helpful and kind. My husband was born and raised ion Maui, and we really enjoyed this home and its location, since it was not in the typical tourist areas, however you are still very close to all the beaches and attaractions that Maui has to offer. This house is great for families and children. There is a large gate around the pool area, as well as baby gate and playpen for infants. The home came fully stocked with beach chairs, cooler, umbrellas, boogie boards as well as many pool toys! Our kids had a blast here! The yard is so large that the kids just loved running amoungst the palms, looking for fallen coconuts. Needless to say, we will definetly be back again. We can't wait! Aloha and Mahalo!!!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, adventure seekers.

If you like to stay in a beautiful place on gorgeous grounds, have total privacy and ocean views – this is the place! It is so relaxing to sit out on the balcony, sipping your morning coffee, enjoying the view across the beautiful flora all the way down to the ocean, feeding and watching the birds, and just doing nothing! The hammock is just as perfect, as is the whole area around the pool, and the special sitting area below the pool. While I get cold easily in the water, the pool had a perfect temperature and I could easily do laps for an hour at a time. It felt great! All the rooms are spacious, and the whole living room/dining room/kitchen area is spread out, making it easy to find your own favorite spot. Everything you need for a great vacation is available, incl. boogie boards, folding chairs, etc. This is a beautiful, peaceful place away from it all, yet close to everything (a great breakfast place is just ½ mile away). I especially loved feeding the birds every morning (bird food is provided). The first bird let me come within 1 yard of it (of course, I had the container with the food in my hand...). But then - even after I poured out the food and it started eating, it was OK with me being very close. Quite special! – And in case you hear clicking noises at night, those are amorous geckos… Mahalo to Alain and Elizabeth for being perfect hosts: unobtrusive, discreet, attentive, available. And everything was impeccably clean and lovingly cared for. Again, Mahalo!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, adventure seekers.

Magical is the one word that can best describe the Maui Pole House and it's gracious Host and Hostess, Alan and Elisabeth. My family was weary from the strains of every day life and took a spur of the moment trip to Maui. Because our trip was "unplanned" we stayed at a Resort property the first few days. It was nice, but it was a resort full of people and standard hotel rooms. We began looking for a vacation rental property on our 4th day on Maui and by a stroke of good fortune found the Maui Pole House. There was an opening for 8 of the days we had remaining on Maui and based on the pictures and description of the property, we booked the space immediately. Words can hardly convey the beauty, peace and tranquility that is offered by the Maui Pole House, it's gracious grounds and wonderful owners. The pictures on the website are enticing but you must go there to fully comprehend all this house has to offer. When the gate to the grounds opened, our eyes fell upon the landscape and we became silent as we were overcome by the beauty. As we rode down the drive to the Maui Pole House our anticipation grew. We arrived at the house and Alan was waiting to meet us. He offered us any assistance/advice he and/or Elisabeth could give us. When we walked through the doors of the Maui Pole House we could feel the warm embrace of the house wrap around us. Instantly all the jagged nerves and feelings of being overcrowded were cast aside. Our days were spent relaxing at the pool, having friends from Maui join us and using the house as our proverbial "home base" on Maui. While I preferred to spend my time enjoying the house and the lavish surroundings, we were strategically placed within 20 minutes of recreational activities such as zip-lining, snorkeling, etc. We (me, my two grown sons, my daughter-in-law and my two granddaughters) were "frayed" when we arrived on Maui. Within one day of staying at the Maui Pole House, everyone became more comfortable and really began to enjoy our vacation. When it was time to leave our hearts became heavy and as the gates closed behind us we all felt like we were leaving home and family behind. Blessed are those that have the opportunity to stay at this fabulous place. We thank Alan and Elisabeth for sharing their magical home with strangers and for allowing us the time we spent there. Mahalo Maui Pole House for your warm embrace and beauty. May your hallways and grounds always be filled with joy, love and laughter.

My family, including my parents, sister and her fiance, my husband and 19 month old daughter stayed at the breathtaking Pole House on our recent trip to Maui. Right when you pull up to the gate, you know you are about to enter a special place. The grounds are immaculate and the care taken in maintaining them is very apparent. The house itself is lovely and suited our needs perfectly. It was luxurious, yet comfortable and we did not worry about our little one toddling around. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to whip up a great meal. The pool. Oh my goodness, that pool is AWE-SOME. This trip to Maui was different due to my daughter being with us, so my husband and I spent more time at our lodging than usual. That pool was such a great feature to have - and so relaxing once the kiddo went to bed. The location of the home is great - right off the Hana Highway, so many adventures are right out the gate. Alain and Elisabeth are wonderful. We certainly felt as though we were staying in our own little paradise, but it was comforting to know they were so close. Alain even enlightened, and entertained, us by opening a couple of coconuts one evening. A true treat for folks from Texas! The only downside is we didn't have more time in this fabulous Maui oasis!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, adventure seekers.

I found the Maui Pole House while searching for the PERFECT location for my friends - their 40th wedding anniversary - and they had never been to Hawaii. I am a beach bunny to the core but I know there is so much more to the Islands than that. When I saw this property on line I thought - now this is Hawaii - this will give my friends the real feel for the islands. I was not disappointed - it was even more beautiful and peaceful in person than the pictures depicted. We did not have great weather there - I know this is the "rainy" side of the island but there were always those day trips where we could find a sunny beach and many other wonderful adventures - from the pool and the hot tub to the drive to Hana to whale watching and snorkeling at Molokini and Lanai to watching the sunrise at Haleakala and later zip-lining at its base - we were wowed.. wowed... WOWED! Paia is a really cool little town with fabulous shops and restaurants. Alain and Elisabeth are the most gracious hosts ever and we can all hardly wait to come back! Thank you so much!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Coming from people who spent a few days on Kauai and Oahu prior to staying at the Pole House, it is extremely flattering to be reviewed as such … and despite Mother Nature's tendency during their stay, it appears that there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

The Maui Pole House was perfect for our group of five including my wife's 92 year old grandfather. The house is beautiful and spacious, well equipped and quiet. It was such a treat to drive down the lane along banana and coconut trees and wide lawns to this retreat. We enjoyed the pool and spa, and sitting on the deck in the evening. We were over for my son's wedding and the time we spent here put us in the perfect relaxed Hawaiian mood. Alain and Elizabeth are great hosts. They set the house up to welcome you, never intrude and are available if you need them. We would easily return to this spot.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, adventure seekers.

The Maui Pole House was perfect for our stay. The property is as breathtakingly beautiful as the photos suggest. It's proximity to Haiku Mill (an equally beautiful site), where our daughter was married, was ideal. A beautiful and well appointed kitchen,the pool and spa, the expansive deck (affording bird watching and spectacular views), the tastefully furnished living and bedroom spaces, the attentive caretakers, - all contributed to a stellar experience. We can.t wait to return!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children.

While reminiscing on our wonderful Hawaiian vacation, I felt it's time to put my thoughts to "paper". My wife and I had been to Maui before, but it was nothing like this. My family (4-adults) found the "Maui Pole House" to be a secluded, serine, beautiful healing sanctuary in paradise. We felt the 5-acre property, the immaculately clean house (equipped with all the necessities), and the pool with heated jacuzzi to be absolutely irresistible. It was so perfect, that we became reluctant leave the house for our day trips. Mostly we were content to buy food from the nearby markets, cook at home, and eat on the ample lanai. To anyone contemplating a Maui vacation, I promise you that you will NOT be sorry you spent time at the Maui Pole House. Borrowing a line from Douglas MacArthur, "I shall return".Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Dear Thomas & Deborah, Thank you for letting your heart speak. We are truly touched!

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2009
About the owner: My wife and I have been living on Maui since 1997 and have been fortunate enough to establish home on this beautiful property in 2002. The main house has since been offered as a vacation rental destination for many to enjoy and our wish is to continue sharing the Aloha spirit with you, which will be felt no doubt through the style and warmth of the accommodation we are offering. We look forward to welcoming you! The picture was taken during a Luau ceremony at the Old Lahaina Luau setting in Lahaina in March of 2010.
Why the Owner Chose Haiku:
Because of its natural beauty and laid-back approach, for the rare privacy you can find now-a-days along with its steady cooling breeze year round. The area is tropical, with many trees and beautiful flowers.
Rainbows, waterfalls, Bamboo forests and beautiful beaches are just a short distance from this location. If you are looking for a place to relax or to enjoy good family reunion moments, this is the perfect choice.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
To awaken to bird songs and be closer to nature is a joy that is still possible here. The view of the gorge and the ocean from the large lanai where you sit will take your breath away. And if you are lucky, you will even see whales breaching in the distance when in season.
Jumping into the pool at the end of the day and then into the hot tub to enjoy a glass of wine or Mai Tai is simply terrific. We are proud of what we are offering and love to read the comments that our guests make after they too have felt the magic.

In slums and shantytowns across the globe, children and youth make up large proportions of the residents—often more than 50 percent. Their productive and creative potential is key to developing strategies for livable and sustainable cities.To mobilize efforts on behalf of these children, the CYE Center is preparing a book about children living in poverty in cities around the world. The book will educate the public about the capacities of the urban poor by illustrating the active roles of children in improving their living conditions. It will also describe policies and programs that support children's efforts. Its provisional title, The Place of Children, has a double meaning: it refers to children's actual living environments as well as to their role in community development.The book aims to focus attention on the challenges remaining after the First United Nations Decade for the Eradication of Poverty (1997-2006) and strives to make a contribution to the International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Nonviolence for the Children of the World (2001-2010).Featuring first-rate photography, profiles of children and documentary text based on archival records and field interviews, the book may also lead to several collateral projects, including CD-ROMs, exhibits, calendars and greeting cards. Children selected for inclusion in the project will be actively involved in community improvement activities.To support the first phase of this project, UN-Habitat has awarded $15,000 to CYE. The book has been endorsed by Childwatch International and Save the Children Sweden. CYE organized a session with project participants at the World Urban Forum III, in Vancouver, Canada, June 19-23, 2006. Work at the first four sites was completed in 2007 (Ankara; New York; Nairobi; and Rio de Janeiro).The resulting report can be downloaded here.For information, contact Willem van Vliet: firstname.lastname@example.com

This clever presentation of snapper seviche puts it into cones fashioned from corn tortillas. Served with a garlicky bean puree and salsa this dish is bursting with flavor.
1. Heat oil in fryer. Halve tortillas, and fold to create a cone. Secure, or hold together with tongs, and fry until golden; drain.
2. Skin snapper; cut into 3⁄4-in. cubes. Toss with lime juice, and marinate for 30 min, until flesh turns opaque. Add jalapeño and mango; toss; reserve.
3. Puree beans, garlic and sage; reserve. In a bowl, combine tomatoes, onion and cilantro.
4. Fill half the cones with snapper seviche, and half with bean puree; top with salsa.

Reuters: "The gunman was armed with an AR-15 assault rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun and a Glock .40-caliber handgun… Police found an additional Glock .40-caliber handgun in his car…. Holmes had purchased the weapons legally at three area gun stores in the last 60 days and bought 6,000 rounds of ammunition online, including a 100-round drum magazine for an assault rifle."
CBS News: "Investigators also tell CBS News they have …interviewed a UPS driver who says Holmes had 90 packages delivered to his workplace on the University of Colorado medical campus. And sources say over the past several months, Holmes spent about $15,000 as he was putting together his deadly arsenal — guns, chemicals, explosives, and ammunition. [...] Holmes did most his shopping on Internet sites. And he was clearly in a hurry. A receipt from TacticalGear.com shows on July 2 — two-and-a-half weeks before the shootings — Holmes purchased a bulletproof vest and other equipment. He paid extra to have it shipped by 2nd-day air."

Tokyo Welcomes the Herman Miller Store
You might want to pack your bags and head for Tokyo when you hear what just opened up there: a Herman Miller store. It's the company's first storefront to open since the creation of the Textiles and Objects Shop, which it operated in New York City from 1960-1967.
Designed by Torafu Architects and located in the hip Marunouchi shopping district, it's full of wonderfully designed items, large and small, including limited-edition Eames molded plastic side chars painted by Japanese artist Mustone and unique area rugs developed in collaboration with photographer Takashi Kumagai.
It's all about making great design available to consumers, from chairs and desks to games and toys.
Up until now there really hasn't been an easy way for individuals in this area to buy Herman Miller products. But the demand has always been great.
Herman Miller sells its products in North America to individuals through its network of authorized retailers and its online store. Its global network of dealerships sells to businesses worldwide.
The store in Marunouchi provides the company a way to raise awareness for its brand in a growing market. And now the shopping is not only simple—walk right in and have a look around—but fun, too.
Visitors will find a comfortable, relaxing, "at home" atmosphere with several specially designed areas, like the "Try a Chair" section where they can sit, twirl and experiment to find just the right fit.

The Honors College Living-Learning Community, located in Stopher Hall and Johnson Hall, is specifically for students who have been admitted to the Honors College.
Mission Statement:
The Honors College Living-Learning Community is dedicated to giving Honors College students the opportunity to live and learn together in an atmosphere that is dedicated to holistic learning by engaging students in a residential environment through social and educational programs designed to promote intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and independence.
Students who participate in the Honors College Living-Learning Community will be: exposed to opportunities unique to students who strive for academic success; participate in leadership opportunities along with other top students; develop friendships through common goals, courses, and conversation; and, be exposed to faculty and staff to enhance their academic experience at Kent State University.
Students who live in the Honors College Living-Learning Community will have access to the Honors Complex, which houses the Honors College administrative staff offices (including the dean and advisors), have the opportunity to take certain honors courses in the Honors Complex, and have access to the Honors College library and computer lab.
Programs and Events:
Each year the programs and events change as the community also changes. Programs and events of the past include:
Freshman Honors Colloquium:
All Honors freshmen are required to enroll in Freshmen Honors Colloquium (FHC). FHC is a two-semester sequence which totals eight credity hours and takes the place of the regular College Writing sequence (ENG 11011 and ENG 21011). The FHC sequence is equivalent to two Honors experiences. The only exception to this requirement is for the student who has already completed a college-level freshman English sequence for credit at an institution of higher education. Advanced Placement Credit for ENG 11011 does not exempt a student from taking FHC. Most sections of FHC are held in the Honors College Complex.
Requirements for admission:
In order to participate in the Honors College Living-Learning Community, one must be admitted to the Honors College at Kent State University. For more information about the Honors College please visit: http://www.kent.edu/honors/
How do I join?
Students interested in living in the Honors College complex, who have been admitted to the Honors College should list Stopher and/or Johnson Hall as their preferred hall and choose the Honors College LLC as a preference. Assignments are made based on application date. Thus, the earlier you apply for your residence hall the more likely it is that you will receive an Honors College complex assignment.

London fixie meet-up
If I ever have to be in London early for work I try to stop at my mate Andy's the night before. This time we heard about some fixie cycle film preview thing and thought it might be worth checking out. Fixie bicycles really split opinion. Some people seem to take a dislike to the whole scene, but it's just a scene, people wanting to hang out, some are a bit too cool for school, but so what?
A few phone calls and Ben rode two hours from his temporary home in Suffolk (after literally popping out for a pint of milk). Jake rode over on his BMW. Fordy called Grant, and Mr Death Spray Custom said he'd come too. In the end we bought some cans and stood outside, not even bothering to watch the film. We stayed long enough to watch the impromptu stunt show (which was pretty crappy until someone crashed into a table of chardonay sippers outside the snooty Italian restaurant).
Mr DSC explained the ins and outs of fixies to us while people slobbered over the former track bike he'd ridden 12 miles to meet us.
This fella was the Sideburn style icon. He had 12-speeds and a chinstrap beard.
Then we went for the worst curry Brick Lane had to offer. I'd drunk enough by then that I didn't even notice.

The 12 speed Sideburn style icon infiltrating the fixie party reminds me of being at the top of Filmore ( a very steep hill ) before the start of the Grand Prix of San Francisco and this little Chinese woman cruised up it on a 3 speed with a basket like she probably does every day. She was smiling as the huge crowd cheered her on as she crested the summit ..but you could tell she didn't know what all the fuss was about some people riding their bikes up that hill.

Fixie = A bicycle that has no gears or suspension?
- 7 July 2009 12:13
- Paul said...
OK. I couldn't wait to see if I was getting cooler. Good old Wikipedia:
"A fixed-gear bicycle, fixed wheel bicycle or "fixie", is a bicycle without the ability to coast because the sprocket is screwed directly on to the hub and there is no freewheel mechanism."
I like this part:
"...brakeless fixed riding has an almost cult status in some places"
But I learned something else important:
"UK - The Pedal Cycles Construction and Use Regulations 1983 requires that pedal cycles "with a saddle height over 635 mm to have two independent braking systems, with one acting on the front wheel(s) and one on the rear"
So now I know the cruiser bicycle that I've been building for the last few years is technically illegal - it has no front brake. - 7 July 2009 12:21
- Gary Inman and Ben Part said...
'Murdoch, I can't claim the overall look as my own.
I clocked Jake Bowie (here on his /5 'BM); 3 years before I actually got to meet him, wearing all white overalls with a big GOODYEAR patch across the shoulders & a black piss-pot lid on his /2 'BM.
Even these blues one are his & I'm only wearing them 'down' as otherwise it was a severe case of front & rear camel toe. He's about a foot shorter than me.
BP - 7 July 2009 20:59
Paul - a lot of fixies only have one front brake but are arguably UK legal 'cos the back brake is the pedals, chain and fixed sprocket which you operate by resisting with your legs - or even locking the wheel up for a slide.

So I am thinknig of building myself a two-tier aquarium rack as shown in attached diagram... CLICK THUMBNAIL for fullsize image.
I am looking to utilize metal shelving, the industrial strength stuff, as each of these tanks should weigh almost 1000 pounds when filled and aquascaped. The rack will sit on a cement sub-floor in a basement in a spot where a 150-gallon currently sits... the 150-gallon will be sold or moved.
Some of my current considerations are...
... Tank rack to be slotted into 79" high x 53" wide "clothes closet" with sliding doors removed;
... Measure allowance for metal shelves, heights of various pieces of equipment, clearance from the floor, etc, all shown on left;
... To be determined... use 2700 kelvin "Aquarium" tubes or 5000 kelvin "Natural Sunshine" tubes;
... To be determined... use ONE or TWO Hydro Sponge (Size 5) sponge filters. EACH is rated for 125 gallon aquariums... this setup the aquariums are 70 gallons each;
... To be determined... what capacity air pump to operate Hydro Sponger 5 filter;
... Other considerations not yet factored ???
I am also going to have flaps hang down from the shelf about 13" to cover the area between the top of a tank, and the shelf above with the attached lighting ballast.
Does anyone have any input they would share on this project?

"It's Groundhog Day…again." – Phil Connors
According to tradition, the groundhog awakes from hibernation and emerges from his hole today, in the exact middle of winter, in order to check on the weather. If it's sunny, he will see his shadow, get scared and return underground, giving us six more weeks of winter. If it's cloudy, he won't see his shadow and will remain aboveground, giving us an early spring.
Groundhog Day is my favorite holiday of the entire year. I love it because it has the perfect balance between popularity and obscurity, it's a uniquely North American observance, it has some history behind it, it requires no shopping or decoration, and it's just silly and fun. The 1993 Bill Murray film that shares the same name as the holiday is my favorite movie of all time. I have watched it more often than any other film and I can recite large portions of the script. I have already watched it twice this year and I might watch it again later today. It's of course rather ironic that I've watched that particular movie so many times!
In case you're wondering, the most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, saw his shadow this morning. Don't put away your jackets just yet.

Students at Ogemaw Heights High School in West Branch, Michigan thought it would be hilarious to elect someone they considered unpopular to the Homecoming Court. Little did they know their cruel bullying prank would rally the town's support for the young woman who was the butt of their "joke."
In the small town of West Branch, MI, located a half hour north of Saginaw, the 16-year-old sophomore, Whitney Kropp, won the election. The Detroit News reports that after her election her classmates pointed at her and laughed when they passed her in the hall. The male student who was elected with her, a popular football player, quickly withdrew because he didn't want to be associated with her. Francis X. Donnelly (email: firstname.lastname@example.com) reported in the Detroit News story. Some cyber bullying was involved, too, in the form of cruel Facebook messages.
Word of the bad joke quickly spread around the town, reminding some alums of bullying they had experienced years ago, as if the bullying had occurred recently, the newspaper reported:
A Facebook support page was created, quickly drawing hundreds of messages of encouragement. The page has more likes (more than 3,500) than the town has people (2,100).
"A bank account was opened for Whitney Kropp's homecoming expenses but wasn't needed. So many businesses donated services that everything was covered."
Local businesses stepped up:
For the homecoming dance Saturday, businesses will buy her dinner, take her photo, fix her hair and nails, and dress her in a gown, shoes and a tiara. For the homecoming game Friday, residents will pack the football stadium so they can cheer when she is introduced at halftime. They will be wearing her favorite color (orange) and T-shirts with messages of support. A 68-year-old grandmother offered to be her escort.
An alumnus of Whitney Kropp's high school, who was also the victim of bullying as an underclass member, recorded a video in support of her, which appeared on The Huffington Post. Bullying also plagued an alumnus of Whitney Kropp's high school. He created a video in her support.

For the life of me I could not get the pears to become soft. After 30 minutes I gave up expecting that was as good as it was going to get. Very firm. I used unripe pears as suggested, but maybe too unripe. I also did not have any parchment paper (cooking at work) so I used a plate at first and later another pan to hold the pears down as they appeared to want to float up. Barlett pears by the way. Anyway, a lot of time with no payoff but I'll keep trying.
Poaching helps to soften, tenderize and infuse fruit with flavor. Depending on the sweetness of the fruit, the amount of sugar can be increased or decreased. The notes in the recipe indicate to use pears that are quite firm and not fully ripe; therefore, sometimes they can lack a bit in flavor. By adding more sugar to the poaching liquid, you will increase the sweetness of the pears. You can definitely experiment by adding less sugar, but keep in mind, that you are infusing flavor into the fruit, so it's important to have a flavorful and well-balanced poaching liquid - taste it to make sure you like it before you add the pears. Hope this helps. Cheers!
Is this the parchment drill-down you are referring to? If so, it seems to be working here. It is under the tab called "related videos". Cheers!

"If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.-Paul McCartney
Hmmm... your list and that of Rolling Stones' Top 25 have all the same songs but one (you subbing "Here Comes the Sun" for their "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"). It's almost as if you got tired and decided to 'paraphrase' a bit... or else that IS more or less their definitive Top 25, give or take a song or two.
Otherwise, the lists have 90% of the same songs. You substituted RS' choices of "All I've Got to Do," "Any Time at All," "Every Little Thing," "Yes It Is," "You're Going to Lose That Girl," "She Said She Said," "I'm So Tired," "Julia," "Sexy Sadie," and "Long Long Long" with "Twist and Shout," "Till There Was You," "Michelle," "I'm Looking Through You," "Getting Better," "Lovely Rita," "Glass Onion," "Birthday," "Savoy Truffle," and "Octopus' Garden" (apparently you felt the need for a token Ringo contribution ).
I'm glad to see both "It Won't Be Long" and "Two of Us" made both lists, but am still disappointed "It's All Too Much" made neither.

Deep-pocketed donors ducking tax payments

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
-- President Obama this week has succeeded making the rich pay more in taxes and he says he wants to raise taxes still.
But our next guest says some of the president's wealthiest supporters may not be totally on board with that plan at least when it comes to their own bank accounts.
Yesterday I spoke with columnist Michelle Malkin about who's ducking their tax payments and how.
So Michelle.
The vice president United States says it is patriotic as our patriotic duty to pay more in taxes.
And you say he needs to be preaching that to his own democratic choir the democratic donors who help what President Obama.
In office -- -- -- Google.
Yeah that's right had of vast majority of Google campaign contributors -- donate to the Democrats.
And many high level Google executives are big champions and cheerleaders of Obama.
And yet this company at at the end of last year now.
Reveals in filing from the Netherlands subsidiary.
That they have ten billion dollars that will be protected from not taxes corporate taxes and tax hikes.
Because of the shelter that they've set up.
In Bermuda.
And I'd really really -- here from all of those Obama campaign operatives that made it such a huge issue.
Over the last campaign cycle when they land baste it every last Republican for suppose it -- purported.
Offshore tax havens how they feel about their Google supporters use of the same tax avoidance strategy I know the -- All over the UK the -- upset over there because they're the ones who believe they're entitled -- that ten billion dollars now that America.
So maybe we L pays much attention here since we won't get the money even if we could OK but let's move -- -- -- a long list.
The Washington Post you say -- Washington poses taken advantage of certain tax maneuvers.
That don't necessarily equate to paying more.
It they sure aren't these privileged elites who publish editorials in favor of Obama's tax increase is.
-- at the same time that they praise their candidate for.
His supposedly noble protection of the middle class themselves took out a year -- dividend payment.
Upwards of seventy million dollars that they'll give to their investors.
To avoid all of these higher tax increases that are now hitting everybody else.
In the pocket book this year and among those who will benefit our of course the investors of Berkshire Hathaway.
Obama supporter Warren Buffett's company.
Which will read probably seventeen million dollars as as a as a result of this year and dividend payment.
So it's not I mean that lots of folks we talked about this when Mitt Romney was running for office I mean the -- allowed him to pay.
A certain rate on capital gains is opposed to income tax and he did that and that was legal and it was allowed to do -- this was legal of the Washington Post to pay out dividends before the year and but that you're you're suggesting there's a hypocrisy since it it.
It's trying to take the moral high ground on the wealth inequality in the need to pay more in.
Short not just suggesting it but it's stadium for replete with plainly and flat -- right -- that it is the phenomenal hypocrisy.
These Obama supporters to.
Poured hundreds of thousands if not millions.
Of of dollars of the last two campaign cycles into -- candidate to has profited so much from class war demagoguery.
And then turned around and either look the other way.
Or in some cases.
Facilitated her or helped or there or even cheerleader at the kind of tax avoidance strategies that they castigate.
They're political opponents for for using and I think that's an important point that you make -- Nobody saying that there's anything criminal or illegal about this.
But just the select activity with which they show outraged when certain corporations engaged in these tax avoidance strategies -- others it's.
-- -- what we saw something this week with you know the big they're big tax break that the fiscal cliff deal included for Hollywood.
And -- been provided in the past but still I mean this is fiscal cliff this is a time -- looking -- looking at spending and and odds and ends in cross their t.s and dotting your -- and somehow Hollywood ones of -- the seventy million dollar tax break and it.
And you know that includes a lot of big Obama donors -- that raise some eyebrows.
In Washington and beyond.
It certainly dead -- and Hollywood -- -- in so many instances.
Where many of these wealthy elite Mobil's.
Have one set of standards for themselves and another set of standards for everybody else.
And with regard to these kinds attacks -- I named Georgia -- guests.
And doctor -- way as two more of that the millionaires and billionaires out there.
Who engaged in and very.
Clever tax avoidance strategies for their corporations in the case of George Lucas.
Selling off his -- company Lucas films to Disney before the end of the year for four billion dollars in cash and stock so that he can avoid corporate tax increases this year.
And Dr.
-- you -- another.
The beneficiary of these up.
Out overseas tax havens.
For his very successful company beats by Dre headphones.
That put him number one on the Forbes list of highest paid musicians.
Trying to hit escape by the high corporate tax rates than everyone else -- forced to -- -- I thought about for that but who put.
Well we just talked about a Al Gore selling current TV to Al-Jazeera.
Anyone in the deal to close before the first of the year.
Because -- want to have to pay the higher tax rates.
That he helped put this week it was under President Clinton you like the bush tax rates matter but their work out of the -- -- and -- -- Michelle yeah crocodile tear for that but yeah I caucusing overload on that deal.
Fingernail here Michelle Malkin everybody.
You -- take care thing.

2012 Spring Training Festival honored at 2012 Governor's Tourism Awards Gala
This information was provided by the Scottsdale Charros ...July 20, 2012
Contact: Beth Burnett, Community Outreach Coordinator
Scottsdale Charros/The Charro Foundation, 480-990-2977
Spring Training Festival receives special event award
The 2012 Spring Training Festival, hosted by the Scottsdale Charros, took top honors at the 2012 Governor's Tourism Awards Gala. The first-ever Festival, which kicked off spring training Valleywide , won the 2012 Special Event – Urban Award, which is presented annually to an event which creates a unique draw for tourism and attracts visitors from outside the local area.
Attracting more than 18,000 attendees, the inaugural Spring Training Festival was held February 25-26 at the Civic Center Mall in Scottsdale. The event was a collaborative effort between the Scottsdale Charros, Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Arizona Sci Tech Festival, Play Ball – The Cactus League Experience and the City of Scottsdale.
Serving as the kickoff to the 2012 Cactus League spring training season, the Festival generated excitement and interest in spring training games for residents and visitors across the Valley and helped bolster attendance at the March games.
Festival-goers purchased tickets and team gear from their favorite Cactus League teams and experienced all things spring training baseball. Families and kids of all ages participated in The Mad Science of Baseball experiments; scored autographs from Baseball Hall of Famers including Rollie Fingers, Fergie Jenkins, Gaylord Perry and Bert Campaneris and visited The Play Ball – Cactus League Experience museum. Local restaurants featured gourmet baseball-themed food and local bands played throughout the weekend entertaining the crowds.
Jim Bruner, who was instrumental in developing a plan to stabilize the Cactus League and in obtaining a Major League Baseball franchise and stadium for Phoenix, feels that the Festival can continue to grow and serve all 15 MLB teams during Cactus League Spring Training. "Traditionally, the first two weeks of spring training have lower attendance. The Festival gets our communities excited about spring training in Arizona and showcases our cities, facilities and amenities across the Valley. Spring training isn't just great for devoted baseball fans, it brings over $360 million in tourism revenue for Arizona," says Bruner.
As a long-time member of the Scottsdale Charros, which hosts spring training for the San Francisco Giants in downtown Scottsdale, Bruner says that spring training is not only a boon to our state's economy, "The Scottsdale Charros take proceeds from each season and give it back to local nonprofits as donations and grants, along with college scholarships and master's in education fellowships for working Scottsdale teachers." In the last 12 years alone, the Scottsdale Charros have given back more than $8 million to local nonprofits and students.
The Arizona Governor's Conference on Tourism is the premier annual gathering of Arizona's tourism industry, designed to strengthen and enhance Arizona's tourism industry. Governor's Tourism Awards are presented annually to celebrate the outstanding contributions accomplished by the Arizona tourism industry.
The 2013 Spring Training Festival is slated for February 23-24, 2013. For information about the Spring Training Festival visit http://www.springtrainingfestival.com and like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SpringTrainingFestival.

Thanks for your input, everyone! You ladies here are all so great and knowledgeable. I can see the benefits of a nick name. But honestly, I know it would just bug me. Which name do you teach them to write when they're in pre-school? Which name do they get called by their elementary school teachers? I don't know why, but it just bothers me, lol! I guess I just like things to be simple. I want to pick a name and call my child by that name. Frustrating!

In Thailand, the head is regarded as the highest part of the body, both literally and figuratively. It is the 'home of the soul and the spirit' and must be given respect. Thus, Thai people are careful not to touch the head and hair of other people.
Touching someone's head is taboo – it is taken as an insult, a serious lack of manners. Only parents, grandparents and other senior relatives can touch the heads of their small children or grandchildren. When the children grow up even that is no longer allowed. Sons and daughters do not touch their parents' heads.
In social gatherings, young Thais try to keep their heads lower than those of their elders, and you should avoid passing things over people's heads.
If you touch someone's head by mistake, you should apologise immediately.

If one bird rivals the colors of a rainbow, it would have to be the male broad-billed hummingbird.
This tiny 4-inch package is a kaleidoscope of colors, from its bright-red bill with a black tip to a sapphire throat patch, glimmering green breast and steel-blue tail feathers.
Its species name comes from the Latin word latus, meaning "wide," and rostrum, which means "beak." Translation in En-glish—broad-billed.
Females are iridescent green and gray below. Their bill is mostly black, with orange or red around its base.
These birds migrate from Mexico to arid areas near mountain canyons and stream-beds in Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. Occasionally, they're seen in Cali-fornia and Texas.
Broad-billed hummers nest in low shrubs and trees, often on a branch that hangs over water. The female builds the nest using plant down, bits of bark, leaves and flower blossoms held together with spiderwebs.
Like most hummingbirds, they feed on nectar from flowers such as ocotillo, century plant and paintbrushes, but also eat aphids, leafhoppers, spiders, daddy long-legs and even pollen grains. The birds often visit gardens with sugar-water feeders and plentiful nectar flowers.
Despite their diminutive stature, broad-billed hummingbirds are quite bold. They'll often approach humans and curiously hover near them for a moment with their tails spread until their interest has been satisfied.
It's not unusual to see females chasing large butterflies from their feeding territories. For some unexplained reason, however, they'll tolerate smaller butterflies even though they feed on the same nectar-producing flowers.

Bambi is trying to over take our yard!!
Hey pals,
Those darn bambi's are trying to take over our yard again. It's that time of year that the acorns keep falling off of the trees and the bambi's just love acorns. Even when Mama takes us out to potty at night, she will open the back door and they are right there! They go flying of course cause we scare em. They even have the nerve to steal the apples off of Mama's apple tree! One they couldn't get off of the tree and now it has teeth marks all over on it. They best beware, it's almost hunting season and Mama & Papa say they'll end up in our freezer in the basement! Ha, serves them right. We also have a pretty rare looking deer that comes in the yard everyday! He's been coming for almost a year now. He is severely deformed in his back leg. It kind of sticks out behind him, straight horizontal and kind of crooked. Mama's wishes she could get a good pic of him to send to the DNR. Papa says if he comes around during hunting season, he should shoot him to keep him from breeding with the does and producing more deformities. That would be bad news to produce more babies like him. Poor little fella. We do feel sorry for him, and it's surprising that the coyotes around here haven't gotten him yet.
We also have some more of those nasty raccoons coming around more often. They are leaving their stinky old poop piles all over the yard. Mama has to steer us away from them cause we don't even want to touch those piles. We don't want to catch the coonhound paraylsis. Our pal Tilly is finally about back to her old self again. She is able to play and romp with her son Robbie now fairly well. We are so glad she got well!!
Guess we better go for now, it's late and Snickers needs her beauty sleep. Mama is going to make her model some doggie clothes later in the week.
Wirey Hugs!

Hey guys,
I tried to reply to your email but it keeps getting returned ? Anyway, mum has been very busy this week - but has promised to measure us on the weekend. We are definately interested, and think we would look quite fetching in them :-)
If it's okay with you - I will let you know our sizes on the weekend.
Thanks buddies :-)
