Sunset Beach house description
Perfect for 2 to 8 people, located on the sand at Sunset Beach (on the main island of Oahu), this exotic, Polynesian-style house is one of the best values for a relaxing, exciting vacation in one of the most beautiful, natural settings the islands have to offer. The home has 4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms, and sleeps up to 8 persons with comfort & ease.
My home is located right on the sand at Sunset Beach, on the main island of Oahu, about 1000 feet down from Pipeline, one of the world's most famous surfing spots. The beach in front of my house is gorgeous and is hardly used as there is no public access to it close to my home. The home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. There is a Jacuzzi on the deck overlooking the beach and my own private volleyball/badminton court is right along side of the house, as you can see in the aerial photo on my website.
The house is less than ten minutes from the historic whaling town of Haleiwa, which is the main town on the north shore of Oahu. It has lots of restaurants, shopping, a marina (in case you would like to go deep sea fishing), and live entertainment nightly in some of the restaurants. The Turtle Bay Hilton is about five miles away from the house in the other direction, and they feature two championship GOLF courses, horseback riding, and a disco.
There is a wonderful Foodland Supermarket about a half mile from the house which also sports a Starbucks coffee shop. All the Island activities, from hangliding to scuba diving, from polo matches to jet-skis are all just minutes away from my tropical retreat. The water is crystal clear and the snorkeling is great. SCUBA diving is also a major attraction on the north shore with both boat and shore dives available. Waimea Falls is only a mile away, and hiking at Waimea Valley and visiting the falls is an unforgettable experience.
The house is my own personal residence and is beautifully furnished in rattan and antiques. You'll see pictures on the walls of stars like Suzanne Somers and David Carradine who have stayed and relaxed here.
Lush foliage surrounds the house and the sound of the wind and the waves will remain in your memories for years to come.
YOU WON'T HAVE TO bring anything except your Swimsuit and a Smile to have a Great Time!
Aloha from Your Owner!

Incredible Beach Front Home!
Incredible Beach Front Home!

The Sunset Beach House was everything I dreamed of but never really expected. I thought the wonderful pictures and reviews surely must be too good to be true, but it only took 30 seconds after opening the front door to realize it was exactly as advertised. It is truly the perfect beach front home. I say "home" because it truly feels like home when you are there. It is designed and decorated with so much attention to detail that you cannot forget for one second that you are in a tropical paradise...as if you could possibly forget with the floor to ceiling views throughout the living area! Not to mention the wonderful deck and jacuzzi! We had the pleasure of being there during the recent surfing competition and saw some days with 20 foot waves and hundreds of surfers just up the beach. We also had a day calm enough to get some body boards and try a few of the smaller waves just in front of the house, so we had the best of both worlds. It was so beautiful, yet so comfortable that although it was a first time trip to Hawaii for all 6 of us we had a difficult time making ourselves get in the car to explore the island. It would have been a wonderful week even if we had never left the house! The only regret I have is that we couldn't stay longer!Recommended for: Age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

8 of us, all couples who have traveled together for many years, just left the Sunset Beach house. What a great place to stay. 4 couples had plenty of room with excellent bedrooms for all House was absolutely perfect with outstanding beach location. The view from the deck was like being on the beach. You literally walk off the deck onto the beach. Everything was close. Many great restaurants' within 10 minute drive in Haleiwa. We recommend the Sharks Cove (5 minute walk) Looks rough but has great food, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sid the caretaker and Michael the owner were great to work with. You won't regret staying here.Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

The house is as beautiful as it is in the pictures and videos. My husband loved the hot tub the best. It was a great location. We really enjoyed the comfort of a home over a hotel. There is plenty of room for everyone. Sunny areas and shady areas. The outside shower is a huge plus.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home directly on the beach in the Sunset Area of the North Shore of Oahu. There is no better way to truly experience the beauty and classic hawaiian feel of the North Shore than through a home rental, and there is likely no finer home than this one to have that relaxed and open beach experience. The pictures are dead on, and the owner is extremely proud of his home and happy to help with any questions or follow ups that may be needed. For us, we rented bikes for everyone, and spent our days riding to Waimea Bay in the mornings for swims, riding to Sunset Beach in the evenings for sunsets, and spent the rest of our days lounging on the deck and beach in front ot the house -- could not have been better. Thanks for everything, and we'll be back!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

Being from the North Shore I am always excited to go back and visit. The Sunset House is in a perfect location! It has a the most beautiful sunsets and gorgeous beach to walk on. Our family snorkeled, paddle boarded and walked right from the house. The outdoor shower was perfect. The property is large and comfortable. We even played some volleyball. Lots of fun especially with older kids. We were very close to Foodland and other eateries. We had a fantastic time and would recommend.Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

Our family had a wonderful week in this lovely home. It is very comfortable, private, romantic, yet close to nearby activities and shopping. The deck and hot tub overlooking the beach make it perfect for outdoor living, from morning coffee to afternoon cocktails and dining. The beach is just steps away. It's perfect for families with young children or teenagers. The owner is very nice and easy to work with. We are looking forward to many return trips to Paradise!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

We were a family group of 8 from Australia. We recently stayed at the Sunset Beach House It is a beautiful home and we felt so welcome and comfortable there. It was such a relaxing week and we loved every minute of it. Being right on the beach with the crystal blue water and swimming with the turtles was a highlight. We enjoyed it that much that we are discussing returning someday soon.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1975
About the owner: Hi, I'm Michel Rubini. the very happy owner of The Sunset Beach House. I am a musician by trade, and I have been playing piano since I was 3 years old. I came to Hawaii with my father for the first time when I was 18 and have had a mad love affair with the islands ever since. I told my father at the time, 'Dad, one day I am going to live here', and he answered with a little chuckle, 'Yes son, of course you will'. I don't think that he believed me at the time, but several years later when I was a little more grown up, I came back and bought my wonderful home on Sunset Beach and I have been coming to the islands ever since. To be able to sit on my terrace and view the beach and ocean and listen to the sound of the birds and waves is a wonderfully relaxing experience that I look forward to every morning that I am here. I am very happy to be able to share my little piece of Heaven with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Aloha, Michel
Why the Owner Chose Sunset Beach:
When I was first looking for a home to buy in Hawaii I was not familiar with the islands, so I decided to travel to all of them to learn about them and to see what each of them offered. I discovered after visiting the outer islands that Oahu was the very best of all of them. The best part of course is that I found the best beach in all of the islands, Sunset Beach, which was the best kept secret in all the islands. Nobody knew it existed there on the North Shore except for the local islanders, and they were not telling anybody. I was taken there by a very friendly local, and when I saw the beautiful, white pearly sand beach in front of my house and the exotic, secluded location, and also being only 1 mile from the biggest waterfall on the island, Waimea Falls, I fell in love immediately.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
My Home Has the unique advantage of being the very last home on a frontage road, and because of that I have only one neighboring house on my left side, which is hidden from view by a 30' hedge of island vegetation. On the right side of my home I have my private volleyball and badminton court, and then there is just state land for about 300 yards before the start of the next frontage road. For that reason, my home has a great feeling of privacy and tranquility with unsurpassed views of the beach and ocean. I never feel 'boxed in' like the other beach houses. ********************* I Found Out that I could be just as secluded as I wanted on the most beautiful beach in all of Hawaii, or I could enjoy a bounty of cultural and ethnic delights not found anywhere else in the islands. It was just up to me to decide what I would do on any given day, be a sun worshiper on the beach, or join in the party that is always going on around the rest of the island. *********** The Ancient Hawaiians considered this location to be a spiritual spot on the island and held many ceremonies here on the beach, and also carved hieroglyphics into the beach rocks (which you can see at certain times of the year when the tide is low). It is considered to be a location of considerable archaeological significance and is also believed to be a very spiritual place by the Hawaiians. *********************** Oahu Is as beautiful and varied as any of the other islands, but also has the advantage of being able to go to wonderful restaurants, movies, nightclubs and concerts. The main history of Hawaii plays out on Oahu, and the Bishop Museum, the USS Arizona Memorial, the 'Iolani Palace, which is the only true royal palace in the United States and the last official residence of the kings and queens who ruled Hawaii, King Kalakaua and Queen Kapiolani, are all must sees during your visit here to Oahu. ------------

Interview: At Least 15 Dead After Israel Attacks Gaza-Bound Aid Flotilla
Israeli forces have attacked a flotilla of ships carrying humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza strip. Dubbed the Freedom Flotilla, the ships were aiming to break Israel's 3-year blockade of Gaza. At least 15 people were killed and dozens injured when Israeli troops attacked the lead ship in the convoy–the Turkish "Mavi Marmara"–early Monday morning. The attack happened in international waters, 75 miles off the coast of Israel and Gaza. We reached Adam Shapiro in New York a few hours after the attack. He's a board member of the Free Gaza movement, one of the groups that coordinated the Freedom Flotilla. His wife Huwaida Arraf is the chairperson of the Free Gaza movement and is on the flotilla.

DN! In Depth
By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan
The holiday season is upon us. Sadly, the big retailers are Scrooges when it comes to paying their staffs. Undergirding the sale prices is an army of workers earning the minimum wage or a fraction above it, living check to check on their meager pay and benefits. The dark secret that the retail giants like Wal-Mart don't want you to know is that many of these workers subsist below the poverty line, and rely on programs like food stamps and Medicaid just to get by. This holiday season, though, low-wage workers from Wal-Mart to fast-food restaurants are standing up and fighting back.

The whole world's a con game for a hotshot attorney whose winning touch is more machiavellian than magic. But when he takes the defense of a naive young man accused of a brutal murder, truth itself goes on trial.
Martin Vail (Gere) is a famous defense attorney in Chicago who jumps at the chance to represent Aaron Stampler (Norton), a young altar boy accused of murdering the city's archbishop. Stampler admits to having been with the archbishop at the time of the murder, but claims that an unknown third person committed the crime while he (Stampler) had 'lost time' (blacked out). At first interested primarily in the publicity that the case will bring, Vail comes to believe that his client is innocent.

Ohh, I see then. Not too bad I take it? My main experience with running multiple systems in a smallish room was my OCed dual-GPU i7 rig and my dad's dual-Prescott setup and two laptops in my bedroom. That wasn't too pleasant, especially considering it was July in NC I estimate that it was about ~650w getting dumped into the room when it was ~33C outside
A lot of you guys seem to be booting dedicated WCG machines off of hard drives. Why not just use a SATA DOM or FDM instead? They're super cheap, completely silent, produce less heat, and they use like 1/25th of the power of a 3.5" hard drive. Heck, you could even just put your OS on a USB flash drive for WCG (or Folding, SETI@Home, etc) and it would work just fine. It's not like you need very much space to hold just an OS and a distributed computing program. Most grid / distributed computing programs aren't very write-intensive, so you wouldn't be doing much wear & tear on the flash memory either.
Maybe he means a flash drive? Anyways, I use standard HDDs because I've found them to be more reliable, it's easier to install Windows to a flash drive, and I like having a decent amount of space in case I decide to use the system for storing junk as well
I think I put those exact same definitions in my question. I did look them up. But fine, don't answer the question I actually asked and get all snarky about it. It's not like I give a shit you know.
Move to Alaska CP Here is my current crunchers: i7 920 on the floor and 17 970 on the bench. Lappy in the bedroom (cooler). i5 560
Heh, sorry. I see now that you did. It was getting late here and I was quite distracted. The definitions were more for [ION] than anyone else. SATA DOMs are a disk drive that looks just like a USB flash drive, except it plugs directly into a SATA header. FDM's are the same thing, except using a 40 or 44-pin IDE header. I don't know why the SATA ones aren't called FDMs as well, seeing as they are both a type of FDM.
Thank you very much for the explanation. Yesterday wasn't a good one for me either. I had to deal with a couple of vendors who were too stupid to live - in my opinion. I actually have an FDM adapter - if I haven't just made that term up. It plugged into an IDE header on one end and had a flash card slot on the other. I was going to use it as a poor-man's SSD but about the same time the prices dropped enough that I could afford a 60gig. Anyway, I knew that without write leveling (???) whatever flash card I used probably wouldn't last long. Anyway, thanks again and WELCOME!
What kind of flash card is it? CF/Compactflash? I use a lot of those at work, I have a few machines that have been running off of them essentially 24/7 for a couple of years, and are still working fine. Interesting note - the pinout that CF uses is the same as IDE (with power added - I think it's actually the exact same pinout as a 44-pin IDE, since 44pin includes power), the pins are just smaller and closer together. CF-to-IDE adapters are definitely a nifty piece of hardware to have around. I'm not sure on the proper terminology for them either... we always just call them CF-to-IDE adapters or flash card adapters.
This was over a year ago, but I think I had planned to use a PNY Optima Pro 8gig. It doesn't have a speed rating printed on it but I had used it for several months as a ready boost drive and it seemed to work fine. Lately I've been using SD cards, so maybe I'll break out the adapter and try it on one of the older m/b's that still has at least one IDE channel. Got a lot of other stuff I need to get to first though. Thanks for the info.
revival indeed,,, cmon almost 5 months since last post before you,, i was thinking of making a second crunching rig from an old 2.8ghz dual core intel but it eats more electricity and provides less performance than recent hardware, giving it away to a friend in need

18 Steps to Prevention Revised: Lymphedema Risk-Reduction PracticesBy Saskia R.J. Thiadens, RNNational Lymphedema NetworkIt was in 1990 when I wrote the 18 Steps to Prevention for upper and lower limbs. Since that time, these guidelines have been widely used in doctor's offices, breast centers, hospitals, support groups, and publications around the country and the world. Without evidenced-based data, it has been and continues to be difficult to support and justify these Steps. The Medical Advisory committee (MAC) of the NLN came to the realization that this document needed to be strengthened and updated, which is a sign of progress in the world of lymphology. Because we do not know all the complex and interactive factors placing an individual at risk for lymphedema and, therefore, cannot totally prevent its occurrence based on our current level of knowledge, we focus on reducing risk of occurrence based on our best knowledge. Over the last 15 years, we have developed tremendous insight of the lymphatic system and I am pleased to deliver this new NLN Position Paper on Risk Reduction guidelines. Please update your educational materials and protocols immediately and alert your colleagues, as well. Thank you. I. Skin Care - Avoid trauma / injury to reduce infection risk
II. Activity / Lifestyle
III. Avoid Limb Constriction
IV. Compression Garments
V. Extremes of Temperature
VI. Additional Practices Specific to Lower Extremity Lymphedema
NOTE: Given that there is little evidence-based literature regarding many of these practices, the majority of the recommendations must at this time be based on the knowledge of pathophysiology and decades of clinical experience by experts in the field.

Google's new design pollutes the environment
Saturday, December 3, 2011 1:53:46 PM
If you look at the new design of Google, (Yes, that is Opera displaying it) it looks quite simplified, but let us take a look under the hood:
The page contains almost everything as inline code, meaning: CSS, Scripts and partially images as base64 encoded sprites. If we concentrate on the CSS, we can see that it is a minified CSS block at the beginning of the page. This block is larger than 70KB! This means:
When you do a search with Google, you needlessly have to download additional 70kB of inline stylesheet (CSS between style tags inside the web page) each and every time.
It is said in the web, that about 3 billion search requests are sent to Google every day. I don't know how many search requests it really is, my estimate is even higher, but let us take the 3 billion requests for a start:
3*10^9/d * 3*10^1d * 7*10^4B = 63*10^14 Bytes = 6.3*10^15 Bytes
6.3 Peta Bytes! Every month!
This could be avoided if Google would just put the CSS on a content distribution network, link to it from within the search results page and set the expiry headers for the CSS to a reasonable value so that it can be cached. Thus the browser would just ask the server if the resource it already has in its cache is expired. If it is unchanged, the browser would get a simple HTTP 304 "Not changed" answer and could use the cached file. This would not only speed up the download of the main results page but lessen the traffic in the net by a measurable amount, additionally it would be good for the environment:
Delivering 70kB of data costs about the same amount of energy like heating up a cold cup of coffee to drinking temperature and this energy doesn't come for free. 90 Billion cups of coffee per month is an enormous amount ...
I wonder how many power plants could be shut down and how many tons of CO2 emission could be saved if Google just changed their web page a little bit.

"American Idiot" begins with a bold declaration. Johnny, our punk rock hero, is fed up with dull suburban life: "Let's start a war, shall we?" he sneers with juvenile glee.
It's never quite clear who's fighting whom and what stakes are involved, but the restless energy, the desire to fight something -- anything -- quickly takes the audience for a ride.
The touring production of the 2009 Tony Award-winning musical opened at the Keller Auditorium on Tuesday night, bringing music from Green Day's 2004 Grammy-winning album, "American Idiot", to the stage.

Singers channel Everly Brothers' strange 1958 classic 'Songs Our Daddy Taught Us'
In 1958, the Everly Brothers interrupted a two-year run of hit singles, including "Bye-Bye Love" and "Wake Up Little Susie," to record a homage to their Tennessee roots, Songs Our Daddy Taught Us – a dozen folk tunes and vintage country laments done with just acoustic guitars and the siblings' precise, keening harmonies.
Two years ago, Green Day singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong "stumbled upon" that album, as he puts it. "I thought, 'Man, what made them want to make this record?'" he says.

Jared Nepute wasn't always so political. But when the 24-year-old actor joined the touring company of"American Idiot," he started to see the world a little differently.
"I didn't think I was a mindless drone," Nepute said. Spending his childhood in a safe suburban neighborhood, he never really concerned himself with the world around him. "American Idiot," the 2009 Tony Award-winning Broadway musical based on Green Day's 2004 Grammy-winning album, showed him the light.

I'm guilty of having committed a serious crime: I've leaned my guitar against my amp or in a corner when playing out. Why do I do this? I'm a minimalist when it comes to the gear I bring to a gig.

Lanvin S/S 13
For a designer known for sumptuous confections dripping in color and embellishment, Alber Elbaz's latest collection for Lanvin seemed slightly more restrained. His S/S 13 runway collection kicked off with a parade of sleek head-to-toe noir ensembles which, upon closer inspection, were actually quite ornate. Provocative cuts, high-shine textures, and artful draping, combined with heavy jeweled collars and neckpieces, gave each look the signature touch. And true to form, there were still shots of color at the end of the show, thanks to color-blocked frocks in acid yellow, deep purple, and emerald. Scroll through our slideshow to see all the looks, and check back tomorrow for our next Show of the Day!
