Zudem ist es nicht wirklich meine Idee, sie stammt von dem Mietwagen-Anbieter Sunny Cars. Der Anbieter will Ihnen Lust auf schöne Landschaften und traumhafte Straßen machen. Wir beginnen – Sie müssen jetzt sehr stark sein – mit der Road to Hana auf Hawai. Foto: Road to Hana Hawaii © Adobe Stock Hawaii: Road to Hana Einen wunderbaren Roadtrip kann man auf Maui genießen, der zweitgrößten Insel des hawaiianischen Archipels. Die Road to Hana führt auf 90 Kilometern an der spektakulären Nordküste entlang von Kahului in das Städtchen Hana. Sie verspricht ein exotisches Abenteuer für Autoreisende. Die kurvige, aussichtsreiche Strecke schlängelt sich durch eine atemberaubende Landschaft und über insgesamt 59 Brücken. Sie dauert in der Regel drei bis vier Stunden.

Aloha, and welcome to another episode of the Hawaii Vacation Connection Podcast. I'm Bruce Fisher, also known as AlohaBruce. Today, I'm sharing my impressions of Maui Tourism after my recent visit—my first time back in over a year. NOTE: the notes below are just that. To get more of my insights, please actually listen to the podcast!! If you're planning a trip to Maui, you may find this helpful as I delve into the pros and cons of the island one year later, with insights on key properties and attractions. The Pros Fewer Crowds, More Space Much like during the pandemic, Maui is currently less crowded, which has its perks. For instance, I spent time at Wailea Beach during sunset, and to my surprise, I only counted about 25 people on the beach and in the water. The sunsets are as spectacular as ever, and with fewer people around, it feels like you have the island almost to yourself. This less-crowded experience extends to restaurants, beaches, and tourist hotspots, offering a more intimate and peaceful vacation experience. Very few people on Wailea Beach behind the Fairmont Kea Lani Lower Prices on Local Products and Souvenirs With fewer visitors on the island, many local businesses are offering great deals on products and souvenirs. Whether you're shopping at Whaler's Village or browsing local shops and kiosks, you'll notice that prices on items like hats, clothing, and other souvenirs are more competitive than usual. For instance, I bought a hat at Whaler's Village that would normally cost $30, but I snagged it for just $21—a great example of the discounts you can find. Souvenir shops are responding to the dip in foot traffic by offering lower prices, making it a perfect time to grab some Hawaiian keepsakes. From locally made jewelry to artwork and clothing, you'll find deals that allow you to take home a little piece of Hawaii without breaking the bank. Affordable Airfares and Lodging Airfare to Hawaii has become more affordable, and we're seeing some great deals for Maui. There has been a slight dip in the number of flights, but the available flights offer good prices. Condos, in particular, are offering better rates, and many hotels are starting to push free nights as incentives to attract visitors. It's a good time to consider visiting if you're looking for value. The Cons Car Rental Woes One of the first negatives I encountered upon arriving in Maui was the car rental experience. Despite a beautiful new car rental facility, the lines were long and the staffing felt inadequate. Even with a "quick get in the car and go" option, there were delays and confusion at the counter. It's a small inconvenience, but it's something to be aware of, especially if you're arriving during peak times. Emotional Sensitivity and Stress Maui is still healing from the devastating fires, and there's a noticeable emotional weight in the air. When I stopped at a few local spots like Krispy Kreme in Kahului (where we only have Krispy Kreme on Maui, by the way!), I could sense a bit of stress and sensitivity from the locals. This is understandable given the challenges the island has faced, and I think it's important for visitors to be aware of this and approach their trip with empathy and respect. Property Insights The Fairmont Kea Lani: A Serene Luxury Retreat New Renovated Fairmont Kea Lani Lobby During my recent visit to Maui, I stayed at the beautifully renovated Fairmont Kea Lani in Wailea. This property is a true gem, and with fewer tourists on the island right now, the experience was even more peaceful and luxurious. The resort itself is stunning—recent renovations have refreshed the entire property, making it feel modern while retaining that classic Hawaiian elegance. What struck me most during my stay was how empty the property felt. While this might seem like a downside, it worked in my favor. I had the pool and many of the resort's other amenities almost entirely to myself.
Authorities on Maui made an arrest in connection with an investigation regarding homemade explosive devices found around the island in recent weeks. The US Justice Department identified the suspect as 47-year-old Robert Francis Dumaran of Kahului. He made his initial appearance in court Tuesday.

Join us on a fascinating journey through time as we explore Bruce Miller's 44-year career in entertainment reporting, filled with on-set experiences from some of the most iconic TV shows and movies. This includes all of the various spinoffs of "Star Trek," the penultimate episode of "M*A*S*H" and beloved sitcoms such as "Cheers," "Frasier," "The Big Bang Theory" and "The Office." We also dive into the realm of TV set design, with stories from the sets of popular shows like "Grey's Anatomy," "The West Wing" and "Parks and Recreation." We also share a few stories about the 1982 film "Annie," which was shot on the campus of Monmouth University, which co-host Terry Lipshetz attended in the 1990s, and the 1978 film "Ice Castles," which included Bruce as one of the many extras. Contact us! We want to hear from you! Email questions to podcasts@lee.net and we'll answer your question on a future episode! About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is now the editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin. Episode transcript Note: The following transcript was created by Adobe Premiere and may contain misspellings and other inaccuracies as it was generated automatically: Welcome everyone to another episode of Streamed & Screened, an entertainment podcast about movies and TV from Lee Enterprises. I'm Terry Lipshetz, senior producer at Lee and your co-host of a program with Bruce Miller, who we've pulled out of a time capsule this week from reporting. He's been doing entertainment reporting forever with the Sioux City Journal. But he's been everywhere. And we wanted to do a special episode. We are coming up on 44 years, 44 years. Can you believe that? But you know what? I thought it would be fun to talk about something that people always ask me about, which is do you get to actually go to the sets of these things? Do you get to talk to the movie stars? Oh, you're just making all that up, aren't you? Now, after this many years, you can't make it up because it's just too difficult to think about. Wait a minute. Didn't I use that line before? I can't use that line again. You need to have that one on one contact. And that's the thing I think has been the biggest joy of covering entertainment, is actually getting to meet people that you maybe admired at some point or you like their work or you think that they're different than their public persona. So yeah, that's been a really cool thing. And early on in 1980 was the first trip I took to the West Coast for pilot season, whatever you might want to call the new shows. And one of the things that's very common is they'll take you to the sets of various shows so you get a chance to watch them film things. You get a chance to walk around the set and look at all of that kind of fun stuff. You get to interview the actors. It is a really kind of head turning situation the first time you do it. I have been on the set of every Star Trek series except the first one, and I have sat in every captain's chair, which is interesting because all aren't comfortable. I've gotten to see, you know, some big back in the day they were mini series. They weren't limited series, but I've been on the sets of those. I was on the set of The Thorn Birds, which was like a it looked like a working sheep ranch in Australia, but it was actually in California and we had dinner on the porch of the of De Gaeta, which was the name of the the ranch and with the stars. And one of the stars, Rachel Ward, was really upset because one of the producers said that she was in she was a nine in looks and at three and acting up and she got all upset and started walking away from the set of this. And all you could think about is they're not done filming this thing and she's bailing because she doesn't like what the producer said. And they immediately ran after her and tried to smooth over this problem. And it was all happening before our eyes. Well, we were there to have dinner and watch him. She or sheep. So interesting kind of factor there. We went to Charleston for the filming of North and South, if you remember, that was the miniseries. John Jakes had a series of books and it was about the Civil War times and Patrick Swayze was one of the stars. Kirstie Alley was another star, and that we were there for several days and they had dinner with them every night. And they were very, very fun because they would tell you things that you you know, you didn't really it never came out any other way. But they said they had given everybody on the on the miniseries a whole name. So they were different kinds of POWs in this show. Okay. So Patrick Swayze, he because he was a dancer, was called Ho Down, and they went through the whole cast and told us all their different names. And they didn't like Lesley-Ann down who was one of the stars of it. And I said, well, what's what's her whole name? And they said, You got to go over and ask her herself, and she'll tell you what her whole name is. So we went over to Lesley-Ann down and I said, Well, now they said, Everybody has a whole name. What's your whole name? And she says, I'm a whole show. That's a kind of that's a stuff you don't get when you're just normally doing an interview over Zoom, or if you're calling somebody on the phone. But it's very fun to be in that environment and you see them shooting scenes and they'll do it over and over and you think, Wow, they're not never going to finish this thing because it's it's taking so long. And I was fortunate that I was at the last day of MASH. MASH did a big movie for their final episode, but that was not the final episode they shot. They did the episode before that on on the 20th lot. And it was about buried in a time capsule. And they were there and they they did it once and they said, Yeah, we got to do it again. We got to do it again. And so they did it again and the the guy said after that, that was good. That's it. That's the end of MASH. Thank you. And the actors all kind of fell into each other's arms and were crying. And I mean, it was a real emotional moving time and they had huge media coverage. I remember standing near Maria Shriver, who was covering it for NBC, and they said to us, You can take anything you want from the set when you leave. And I happened to be standing in the in the shower. And so I have a bar of soap from MASH. That's my memento from that. But it was it's it's that was such a momentous kind of thing. And even now, when you see it in reruns, it's like, wow, I can't believe I was there when they ended MASH. I sent you a bit of a list of shows that I was kind of interested in, and MASH is on my list because for me as a child, it was one of the first big shows I remember watching now. It started when the show started. I wasn't even born yet, but as it progressed, a great but as it progressed, I grew up watching it either in real time, but also we would see the reruns. My parents would just have the show on. So I remember watching mostly the later episodes, but what a big deal it was on TV to watch that final episode, that movie episode. It was. It was huge. It's up until recently was one of the the most still one of the most watched all time shows ever. You know, often I'll just happen to mention that I was on the set of MASH and you can't believe how this smokes out. People who are just hardcore MASH viewers. Yeah, that show early on when they started putting out DVDs of full seasons of of TV shows, it's one of the first shows that I bought on DVD because it was Watch it all. Yeah, I've I've watched every episode of MASH. Yeah, I love that show. See And for me, it's it's very hard to go back and watch them again. I don't think I'd ever buy a box set. I have box sets, but I, I don't watch them. Yeah, but it's also a little different for you too, because you're watching so much. Well, you're always looking at the next thing you've got to see, just to see, you know, what's happening, what's new, what's next. But yeah, and there there are fun little things. I was on the set of Gray's Anatomy and they had a party there. And in the operating room, they had this body on, you know, on an operating table. And it looked bloody. But what it was, was it was salsa inside the stomach and you could use, you know, there were chips all around it. So that was how they were serving the chips. It's just goofy things like that that happened. If you remember, E.R., E.R. had it looked like a really bad hospital. It looked like the last place you'd want to go because it looked so kind of worn down and everything. And they actually had a an el station outside the thing where they would use it for exteriors. But it basically was George Clooney's basketball court. And you could see where they would play basketball out there when they weren't shooting or weren't doing anything. But inside the the actual operating slash exam room, slash whatever hospital, you could see really great equipment. And what happened was after the show became a success, a lot of these providers would just send them the equipment so that then it was accurate, but it was like state of the art stuff. So that I'm sure that if you went to your own local hospital, you say, Well, now don't you have the XR 732, which they used in E.R. and the Thecable? No, we can't afford that. That's like 5 hours. I think it would be one of those things where people would ask for it or whatever. But it had really great equipment in there. And they said everything was as accurate as they could possibly be. They had a lot of advisors who are medical people who would tell them exactly how to hold things, how to do certain procedures. So they got really pretty good at it. And a lot of times when you have people who are playing doctors on TV, they are expected. A lot of times if somebody collapses on an airplane or whatever, well, come on, you know what to do. And they said it's very intimidating because people expect you to be that doctor, but you're not. But they do. They do learn a few things that might be helpful if they ever need it. So, yeah. And hospital shows are really it's a they're cheap because you can put everybody in scrubs. Oh yeah. And you have a lot of rooms that can be remade to look like another room because aren't all patient rooms the same? They're also. Yeah. And so, but they did have hallways and stuff in terms of something that was real big, like that. West Wing really did have those hallways where they did the walk and talks and they had the Oval Office. The Oval Office was cool to see. There were a lot of fun things. And then if you look closely, one of the the coolest places that I had where we could check out things, Parks and Rec. And I did see a little Sebastian, by the way, I met little Sebastian, the the miniature donkey hockey so thrilled. It was like, you have to see it. There is no star bigger than this. And he was cute. And I somehow I got my picture taken with him, so I was cute. Cool. But if you go inside that city hall, they have pictures and the pictures of past like councilmen, whatever, are people from their staff. So it was fun working on a show. You can easily get a relative's picture on the wall. And theirs was also one of those kind of sets where you walk around it and you felt like you were actually in a building. That's crazy. It's interesting you mentioned with the West Wing because it is a show where there's I mean, it's a Aaron Sorkin, right? So it's a lot of conversation. It's a lot of dialog. So I could only imagine the set being huge for a sense of just you have to do one continuous shot, even if you're just like spiraling through hallways, back and forth and weaving. They make sure that the walls are removable. So if they have to have a camera come in, they can or they shoot them through things. I mean, it's it's very fascinating to watch those kind of shows being put together because it's a different procedure than maybe if you saw a three camera show where you're sitting in the audience, you're just watching things happen. If you watch a show long enough, especially a show that's been on for a very long time, you'll see changes to the set. And I'm not necessarily talking about, you know, they just updated here and there or swap furniture. But sometimes when a show starts working on a shoestring budget, they don't know if it's going to get picked up beyond the pilot. They don't know if it's going to get picked up after season one. And then all of a sudden it's around for eight years and they really start changing up the set. Have you ever gone back to a set that you hit maybe early on during a season one and then you go back a few years later and you're like, Whoa, what has happened here? This is totally different. Sometimes they will shoot on that on an existing set. There have been a lot of shows that because they weren't they didn't want to save money. They didn't want to, you know, so they'll full house. They believe they use that set for a number of different things. So there are ones that they will go back and then when they start their own run they may upgraded or change things. But there is this kind of fear that if you have success and then you change the look, you could be inviting, you know, disaster or Mary Tyler Moore had that because remember how she had that apartment that was supposedly, you know, this whatever, Minneapolis apartment. And then they decided to move her to another place downtown that looked a little more cosmopolitan and whatnot. And they were freaked that if they did move it from one place to another, the show would would suddenly lose its charm. So they made sure to make a big point of her taking her big AM from the old place and putting it in a place of honor, in the new place. But yeah, they don't want to toy with that. But if you do have success, they will upgrade. You know, a lot of times look closely at countertops and kitchens. Yep. Because it's a faux painting that they do that looks like granite. And in granite it's painting. But if they have success, they may get real granite the next time they come around. So if they upgrade this head so it has to be reinforced a little bit. Not too long ago before they ended, I was on the set of This is US, and they had that old house, you know, that the house that they used for the things when the characters were kids. Yeah. Oh my God. It was like walking back into my childhood because they had all of these things that I remembered, the TV sets that were old and yeah, even the kitchen counter where I think wasn't a crockpot that caused a problem and yep, yeah, it was all they had. No crockpot, no crockpot. We don't have that, that kind of, you know. And the Goldbergs, I was on the set of that and it's filled with toys and crap that are, are unique to that era that they do watch it because if you're there visiting they don't want you swiping something because you like a Rubik's cube that you happen to see on a TV show and they will have things marked off or taped off. So you can't walk there if you try or a guard will be standing there. The Big Bang Theory has a comic book, right? And that had real comic books that were expensive. And they did have you could not touch anything. And there you could have your picture taken in there, but you couldn't look at the comic books or, you know, touch any of the statues that they had and all the crap that was in their their apartment. That was real stuff. And but you could I did sit in Sheldon's seat, you know, don't sit in my seat. Oh, and it was cool. It was big. But to see that they had, you know, if you lifted the cushions up, I didn't do this so don't. But they, I think they used it. There was an episode where they actually did put stuff down below and so everything isn't as it seems. There are ways to kind of cheat it so that then if they need to do something like if somebody was to emerge from the bottom of the couch, they would have a hole built and they could pop up from that. So there are things like the Frazier, the the chair that the dad sat in was it looked horrible on TV and you thought, Oh, my God. And it wasn't it wasn't when you saw it in person, they just added duct tape to the outside of it. And the cushions were really comfortable. John Mahoney, who played the dad, said it was like he loved just sitting there because he didn't have to do anything in the chair. But then Frazier also had this artwork that was original. It was not a duplicate or a facsimile of anything. It was real art, and they did not bring it out until the night of shooting, so that when they had an audience there, somebody would hand carry that Kahului bowl or vase or whatever it might be and put it on the set. And then as soon as they were done shooting, they would remove it and put it somewhere else. But they did not leave them out there just in case, because how would you replace it? You couldn't. That's fascinating, because I've always watched, you know, like I watch Frazier and I watch Big Bang Theory in those types of shows I would watch is like, wow, these are really good sets, especially with Big Bang Theory, because they're geeks and they've got all the toys and the other comic book type things, and I don't collect comic books. I never really got into them. But I know what a comic book looks like in when they hold them up on the show. I'm thinking like, Wow, that's that's a really good reproduction, but it's not a real thing. It's there. And I'm sure a lot of the people who work on the show are hardcore geeks like that, and they figure when the show ends, somebody's going to have to get that. I don't know, you know, unless they're just on loan. But I don't think they would be. I think they actually go and buy those. Yeah, but yeah. And so you usually ask the people, now when the show ends, what are you going to take, What do you want? And it's not necessarily the stuff you think Kaley Cuoco from that show had. There was a picture that she said she always stared at and she wanted that because she remembers that's what she'd look at whenever she was sitting in a seat. She was talking to somebody. It was and it was a big nothing picture. It was not something. You go, Oh my God, it's Spider-Man 1952 now. It wasn't anything like that. So there are things that mean something to them but don't necessarily mean anything to the show. I know that there were things on Friends that, you know, were iconic and certain people did get those, but boy, they still talk about it. Now, you say yeah, that she that Jennifer she got that and I'm still mad about it and you know, do they even put it in their house somewhere? Probably not. Yeah. I think somebody took the door or from the set of Seinfeld because it was it was so iconic, you know, like, like Kramer flying through the door. And I don't know who it was. It might it maybe it was Jerry. But I thought one of the big actors walked away with that. Did you ever make it to the set of Everybody Loves Raymond? But any chance I did. I did. They did. But it was like a just a regular house. Did you get to at least sit on the the couch that was covered in or zip zipped up in plastic? Yeah, well, but, you know, I was on Roseanne's couch, too, in case. Oh, yeah, Yeah. Usually they'll let you sit there so that then you can feel like you were at the show or you were part of this show or whatever. And you meander around the sets and you look at things and you see things that you don't see when you're watching, you know, And there and I'm not naming names because but there are actors who don't memorize their lines. And so they'll stash them and they'll have things like there might be magazines on the table, and if you open up the magazine, you might find a script in there that's crazy. So they would you know, they would act like they were reading a magazine when they were actually reading the scripts. Now, in recent years, some of these shows were done not not any big show that you know, but some of these cable ish shows, if you will, they would shoot three episodes in a week. And it was impossible for for the actors to memorize those scripts. So they had huge, big screen TVs like like they were teleprompters that would be behind the characters so they could just read the lines off them. And that's fun to see because you go, Oh, I thought they had to memorize all this stuff. Maybe I could be an actor. I, you know, I would worry about that. But yeah, so it it varies from where you go on the Disney campus, if you will. A lot of those Disney Afternoon shows that you'd watch on the Disney Channel or wherever were nearby each other. And it all got to be real good friends with each other. You know, they all knew Miley Cyrus. They all knew the Jonas Brothers. They all and they hang out together. They were actually friends and did things together. And it's it's amazing to see now, you know, when some of them moved on to other roles and other things, how what part that played for some it was for worse and for some it was better. I was with the Zack and Cody kids, the Sprouse kids deal and I'm blanking, but they took me back to their their dressing room and they show me where they actually studied with a tutor. You know, they have to have so many hours a day with a tutor if you're using a kid and they can only work so many hours a day. Though one of the boys said, you know, truthfully were able to, I think as actors were about a four. We're not that good, but we're trying to make money to get our college people. And so, you know, we buy into this. We see what this is all about. We know and they are far more sophisticated than you think on these kids shows. These are not kids who are, you know, just throwing it out there and wanting to be stars. Some are. They're just because it's a job. Yeah, I the money and both the Sprouse boys did go to college. Now one ended up on Riverdale and they're both working in the business now but it was never the goal that that was that's kind of a byproduct that they still get to work. And I always remember Demi Lovato telling me about kids today. I said, you know what don't they realize about being a young actor on a TV show? And she said they think it's all about the purse. I said, What? And she said, They think that you can have a really expensive purse and they don't realize what you're giving up or what you have to do. And it's not all about the purse. And I thought, well, that that was a very kind of fascinating way to kind of size it all up, because I think fans look at these things and they think it's much more glamorous than it is. It's not sets. Are you doing these huge warehouses, kind of barn facilities where mice can easily be running around? There's not a hesitation there. There's a huge craft services table, but you don't know whose touch that food or where that food's been, you know? So, I mean, there are a lot of things that don't make it seem like, Oh my God, here comes Greta Garbo and Clark Gable walking down the street. Not at all like that. It really is a factory. Yeah, Factory of entertainment. Yeah. And a lot of those Disney ish Nickelodeon, Nick Junior kind of shows to that. Not I'm not saying that the sets don't look good, but you see a lot more artificial grass on the shows, which clearly isn't crass. The production value isn't necessarily is as high as you would expect either. And they would talk about how there's a Disney style at all. But you know, where they have to do kind of those broad gestures and everything. And some of the kids really thought that that was wrong, that they didn't want to do that. And you can see where now they've shifted with some of these shows that they aren't as kind of obvious. Maybe that's a term for, but they are a little more adult and they talk about themes that are more contemporary than they did back in the day. Any shows you've been on because you mentioned Star Trek, some of those shows, especially the SCI fi shows, where there might be a lot of green screens and and other things. Any any one in particular that we watch on TV that looks like, Wow, that is impressive. You know, there's the deck of the enterprise, but you're on the set and you're like, what is this? What is this? This is the most unimpressive thing I've ever seen. Oh, well, Star Trek, The Next Generation. I mean, they had like an area that was basically every planet they visited. So it had parks and things and they just redressed it and put up a different. Yeah. So that that was what you're talking about. The Orville. Do you ever remember the Orville was on Fox for a while? No, I don't. I think it's still going to be honest with me. It was Boeing, but I'm I'm not going to vouch for that. But they had an actual ship that you walked on. You walked through the whole hallways. It seemed like it was the real deal. And that's because Seth Macfarlane, who was producing it, was able to, you know, say, I want the real thing. Okay. And you saw the costumes that were just bizarre. I got to shoot the guns that they they had. And it was like you were actually if it was a an amusement park, that's what it would be like. It was cool. But first of all, a lot of those ones, boy, they cheat a lot of stuff. You know, Star Trek was a real key one. And if you looked at the Paramount that you would say, Well, I think I've seen this place before. What I watch sometimes you'll see buildings that they love to do schools, and it's just the outside of the of the paramount lot. Yeah. Executives place and you go well that's there's no school like that but they'll dress it up and make it seem like it is another one that was like shot at a place. Scrubs okay. Scrubs was in a used to be a hospital and they just took it over and, you know, and there was a bet that they had going on that if anybody would spend time in the in the morgue, they would pay them extra. If they would go do that. But because it had been a hospital, they constantly had people coming in and acting like, I need help, I'm bleeding, can you help me? And they'd have to turn them away and say, no, this is this is not a real hospital. It's a movie set of these. Yeah, yeah, yeah. One's like that. The office was shot in a warehouse kind of situation with offices. It was real offices. So when you see them all sitting around like that, that's how it was. And you could walk around all of their desks, look at everything, and they said that their computers did work and they would do like one did Christmas cards. Mm hmm. Well, they were because they had to be on the set. You couldn't leave. You had to be there. Well, other scenes were shot because you're Mr. Right. Right. You're an actor, but you are also background. So they would do stuff like that or they'd chat to each other on their their screens and act like they were working. Sir, there was the warehouse that was attached to it, and this was out in some industrial area, you know, outside of Los Angeles. It wasn't, you know, there was a fence up and all of that. But the the, the storage area or the loading dock was actually filled with paper. Wow. Yeah. Cool to see. Very cool. You know, And yes, I do have a name, plaque that says I'm assistant to the assistant regional manager or whatever. But yeah, very fun because that I think those kinds of shows make it feel like you actually are. There is a lot of the ones where you're sitting in seats and they will do that If you happen to go to California and you want to see a show shot, there will be tickets available to the public. Now, usually if you go to Universal Studios, they have a ticket box or a counter or whatever that they will let you know which ones are available. Things like game shows have a lot of availability, so you could probably go to prices, right, and sit in the audience. You won't necessarily get picked, but you could go watch something like that. A sitcom could be a little more difficult because they have different nights that they shoot and they will suck up X number of tickets just to hand out. Or if they're really bad, they will hire people to sit in the seats and laugh. Yeah, well, and they say that they used to have prisoners that would come and sit at the. Oh, jeez. 0i1 thing I did meet was paid laughs. Or did you know that they have people who are paid to laugh? Well, I knew there was laugh tracks, but I didn't know there was paid laughs. And these were some of those series that do not have an audience. But the kids need to know when to hold for a laugh. And we had like five or six people honest to God, this was the strangest thing I've ever seen sitting at a table, and they would get her. Her? Oh, well, oh, different kinds of laughs. And then the directors say, Okay, tone it down a little bit here. We don't need that much. And it would it would help the actors learn how to react to this crazy this thing. But yeah, and they would like read they be reading the newspaper. Well, they're laughing or knitting or doing something else. But it was a job and I had paid laughter. I want that. I want to be somebody who's paid to laugh. Can you get me the gig? I'm there with my luck, though I'd be on the the absolute least funny show you can think of. Like, okay, we need you to laugh right now. Oh, my God. And that's the way it is. Yeah. Yeah. It's interesting to see how success changes people, because the first year of friends, nobody knew who they were. And they were very they were more nervous than I was to interview them. And we had, they had given us mugs that said friends on it, you know, those big latte mugs or whatever. Right. Right. And they were so thrilled that the name of the show that they were on was on a mug that they started grabbing up as many as they could. So they at least had a set of them. So here you see these big stars who, you know, went on to make what, millions of dollars serve this series, swiping mugs that were supposed to be swag that was given away to the media. And then when they had the last episode of Friends, we went to this set and they would not let us get down on the set. Isn't that all? They don't have taken anything or didn't want us touching anything. We could not talk one on one with the actors and the boys. It wasn't like it was covered or anything. It was just that's how the world had changed. These were big stars that did not. Unless it was cleared, you were not able to talk to them. And. Yeah, sorry, I don't have time for Bruce Miller. No, I'm not doing some low class person like Iowa. I'm speaking as the one from Iowa. Yes, I believe we have somebody who's serving coffee over here who's from Iowa to talk to him now. One of those kind of. Yeah, but it's for me, it's a fascinating thing to look at the sets and just see stuff close up, how they dress that and how they add all those things has really changed. In the old days, it was very kind of minimal. You wouldn't see much on the counters and stuff and now, boy, they pack this and to make sure that it matches, you know, the others, they'll shoot pictures and everything and make sure that every box is where it needs. And I went to how I met your mother or father, Both mother and father, but father. And it was such a mess on that set. It was like last year, this last year. And I thought, how would you keep track of all that stuff? Because it's just it's like litter, basically. But they, you know, they keep an eye on it. I was on the set of How I Met Your Mother just before it ended, and we were in the bar and I'm not sure what the bar. Claire MacLaren's Yeah, what it is, okay. Gloria Bar set. And we were sitting at the table where the, the group usually sits and Neil Patrick Harris had carved his initials on the table and then he and it had plus D be his husband's name, David Burtka, and drew a heart around it. And I thought that was really cool and the picture of that. But, you know, a little a little thing that you probably didn't know when you were watching it on on TV. Yeah. Because you would never see that. No, it wouldn't show. What's interesting to me too, is because all these shows generally have like real life exterior shots. Right? And I remember taking a trip to Boston and taking a walk to the Bull and Finch Tavern, which is where they shot the exterior shots for Cheers. And the bar inside was kind of used loosely to inspire the look of the real bar. And I remember how cool it was like, Whoa, you know, here's the sign. And at this point, too, they had put up a sign that said Cheers, you know, downstairs because they wanted you to to recognize it. And and they had the seafood restaurant was there, too, that you can walk into. But I remember walking down the steps to cheers and then opening the door. And then how unimpressed I was, because this is just this tiny little, you know, like eight seater of a bar. It's not anything impressive at all. And the real thing was huge. Really huge. Yeah. And it did work. So if you were there visiting, they could make you a drink. Do you know, was there alcohol in them or was it. Well, if there were if they're shooting, you couldn't have alcohol. But when you're there there's out there with alcohol. And I remember sitting in one of the booths that were on the side with the actors, you know, it was funny about Cheers. They sure didn't have faith in that when it started. Right? They did room. They did a room interview where you'd go in the room with the actors and they had just had five actors in the room with one reporter. And you're thinking, well, normally you'd kind of wouldn't you try to maximize size your exposure? Right? And I think we're just trying to blow it off. And then we went to a party on the set of it and we got to sit on Norm's stool and, you know, walk around and look at everything. And it had changed. It had really changed. Once success hit again, you never know what's happened there, but Cheers is fun. But yeah, if you go to the bar, the Cheers bar in Boston, it's not the same. No, no, definitely not any. Any other stories? I have one to share. Once we're ready to wrap, let's come on out. All right. I'm just going on. You got to shut me up. Okay, So I was sort of on the set of the movie. Annie. Do you remember Annie from 1982? Annie. Annie. Dust until come now. Tomorrow. Were you one of the authors? I know. So I went to college at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey, and in the University. It's on it's kind of in this old neighborhood in West Long Branch, in the centerpiece of the campus is, I believe now they call it Shadow Lawn Mansion. They used to call it Wilson Hall. They use the mansion as Daddy Warbucks mansion in the movie. So they shot almost the entire movie on location at my college. And I remember taking, you know, before I before I decided on where I was going to go. And you take those campus visits and they bring you on tours and the big selling point at Monmouth at the time and probably still is, was this is where we filmed Danny in the hall, which is Wilson Hall when I was there. It's where the president's office is. It's where the registrar is. There's some classrooms in there, too, is always very cool. You would get a class because they didn't have a ton of classrooms in that building because a lot of them it's a lot of very small rooms. But you would you would go in there and occasionally have a class and it was very cool to have a class there. They would have receptions for, you know, honors students there. I worked in my freshman year. I was tutoring foreign language students who were they were struggling in English and I was helping tutor them. And the tutoring center was in the basement of Wilson Hall. And you would walk on the floor and you could sense there was something hollow beneath it. And it was because the big pool, if you remember the scene, was the pool in Annie. That's where the pool, the pools in the basement of Wilson Hall. But they had covered it over and converted into two classroom space. So yeah, so it was, it was very, very neat. And there is a scene, I think it's early in the movie when they're first bringing Annie to the mansion and you see the car turn down into the gates. But it's one of those scenes where if you look very closely, you could see the dorms across the street, but you wouldn't know it If you're watching the movie. You just see some building in the background. But it's like, oh, there is. There's the dorms, which is crazy. They ask anything, Well, where did you start seeing Hard Knock Life at some point? I did not know, but I did watch. I did actually watch the movie after I went to school there because I it wasn't high on my list of movies to see as a as a child, it didn't quite appeal to me. But once I got there, I watched it. It was it was fun to watch and then see the different locations and think, Oh, LA, you know, I've been there. I had to I had to register for my sophomore year there and I had to go pay a late book fee or something there. And yeah, that was crazy. So that's where we kind of relate to these things, is that we can find the real place that was used and go, What was that for? I know. And if you ever go on the Universal Tour or the Warner Brothers tour, anything, recycle these things all the time. So I, you know, like you, when I was in college, I was in a movie. They needed extras and they said, if you come, you know, maybe you'll get on camera, maybe you won't. It was Ice Castles, Ice Castles with Lin, Holly Johnson and Robby Benson, and it was about a figure skater who lost her sight. And we were supposed to be in the audience watching her. When you realize, Oh my God, she's blind. She can't see where she's skating. And then. Right. And Robby Benson comes out to greet her and everything. Well, I happened to have a camera with me because it you know, if you're not with the camera, are you anybody you need a camera. All, all situations. And these were not cell phone days. This was back in the days of a camera. And so they were they were thrilled that I had my camera there. And if you watch for a millisecond, you will see that I am in the movie Ice Castles because I happen to have a camera and it's me holding my camera. It captured that moment when they discover that she's blind. Wow. Is that not real? But there's my movie. Yeah, well, I don't think we can top anything else now that we know. Now we've done it. It's done it. Okay, well, we're going to do another episode like this sometime because this is fun. I enjoy story time with Bruce. Well, if anybody has shows that they're interested in or want to know about, if they want to drop us a line, we'll be glad to put them on a list and then we'll talk about them. Because like I say, 47 years I've been just about everywhere that you could go unless there was some ban put on people. And no, you can't talk to those people. And maybe I'll tell you my Zendaya story some oh, I want to hear that one. So you can you can reach out those podcasts at least dot net. I check the email regularly and I will screen those emails and we will get back you and talk about it in a later episode. That sounds great. All right, everyone. Well, thanks again for listening to this episode of Streamed & Screened.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today you are going to a little bit of real talk with Heidi. Maybe because I am on night 3 of a hotel to MYSELF while I'm at a conference or maybe I shouldn't have had that second cup of coffee (by the way if you like Real Talk with Heidi version, feel free to support this buying me a coffee) Either way, I wanted to give families a valuable way to use travel rewards to supplement their travel budget, traveling longer, farther - let's just say it's one of my favorite optimization strategies AND after 2 people it gets much more difficult - you even heard Chris Hutchins from All the Hacks say it on episode 092. The game is harder to play with more people. And I'll just say it, the content out there for families is eh. I don't think you need to pay thousands of dollars to follow someone's system. Once you learn the rules of the game you just need a reliable source to ask questions and find the answers you need. I also don't think everyone needs to take online courses to understand how points and systems work. Many of those groups want you to use their links so that they get all the referral bonus points. Just for the record, I'm not opposed to any of those things, people can make money doing things they are good at and I know that many use the referral and affiliate links to fund their work. I just think there is a better way to support YOU through this - what can I say, we are sherpas helping families adventure. I think families need a fair shot at the travel rewards game. Part of the challenge with travel hacking is that the rules change often. It takes time to understand and let's be frank - we don't have time to scurry down the rabbit hole of travel rewards. For this episode I am going to highlight some of the travel hacking resources I have and walk through three examples of how we recently used travel rewards. I also am announcing a FREE Live Family Travel Hackers Q/A Session so stick around and make sure to register to get EVEN more tips. First to highlight some of my previous content: On episode 018 | Travel Rewards tips with Melissa Lagerquist. We talk about some of the basic terminology, approaches and ways she has used points to hack cruises. Full disclosure - Melissa is connected to the Choose FI Travel Rewards course. If you want to go down the rabbit hole that free course is where I started when it was launched probably close to 5 years ago. On episode 019 | Our approach to travel rewards I walk through our strategy and I give you a free downloadable planning guide to help you through the process. That is available at: https://ordinarysherpa.com/rewards/ Episode 032 | How to Fly a family of 5 to Hawaii for under $500 I dive deep into Southwest Companion Pass which we have had for 4 years straight. We are not renewing next year because we will be traveling in the RV next year and as you will soon hear we have a different strategy. Episode 070 | Hacks to Optimize Family Experiences without Sacrificing Value offers an updated approach to how I plan our summer vacations in particular. We also reference travel hacking in episode 084 with Ed Tee adventuring near and far; Episode 040 Interim Expat with Scott Barrett, and Episode 077 | Funding the Fun with Jen of Investor Mama. The DIY approach to learning travel hacking can seem like an uphill slog. I may have said on more than one occasion “Can someone just tell me what to do?!” Stick around until the end to get the link to register for our Free Family Travel Hacker LIVE Q/A. Tonight I wanted to share a few behind the curtain tips to help you travel more for less. Hawaii flights for 5 for under $300 It's no secret here that we used 2 Southwest Companion Passes. RIGHT NOW is the best time to start earning the Southwest Companion Pass to give you the maximum amount of time where one person flies free with you (-$5.50 per flight in taxes and fees). If you have ANY questions about earning the Companion Pass make sure to sign up for my Free Q/A! Many people tell you to design your strategy based on a destination you want to travel to. That is one approach, but I also like to think about the experience. From Wisconsin to Hawaii is 8+ hours of flying, and direct flights don't exist. Instead of designing this trip to be a long-haul with 3 kids, we broke it up into smaller segments which meant we also had so many more options on what that experience could look like and created a schedule that worked best for our family. Instead of looking for fare sales from our home airport of Milwaukee, I look for routes to our destination and work backwards. Our route was Milwaukee-San Jose (staying a night in San Jose and making a mini-vacation of it), from San Jose to Kona (big island) for 5 nights, from Hilo (Big Island) to Honolulu (Oahu) for 4 nights, from Honolulu to Kahului (maui) for 5 nights, from Maui to Los Angeles for 2 nights, and from Los Angeles back to Milwaukee for 3 nights. In many ways it felt like we had 5 different vacations. Now that might seem much longer in terms of days and number of flights overall that you want to spend, but keep in mind we were on 3 islands and planes are really the easiest way to get between them. Because we had utilized the best fares and designed an experience, the total number of points needed for this entire itinerary was 60,168. Because we had 2 companion passes we only needed this number of points for 3 of our family members (which was 180,504). Because both my husband and I had attained Companion Passes we earned over 240,000 points (at the time the requirement was only 120,000). Part of the reason I like Southwest is because they use a standard formula based on price/points as opposed to dynamic points systems that are difficult to figure out how many points you need to earn to redeem your family flights. Harry Potter World (tickets and hotel) for $0. This was a recent “can we do it challenge.” that we booked for 2023. Universal Orlando (which is where Harry Potter World is Housed) often offers a 2-day+2 Day Promo (PS. It's still happening right now for travel before March 2, 2023 if you are interested). We used a travel eraser card like the Capital One Venture X card. We bought the tickets through Undercover Tourist (which was just under $1,500 for a family of 5 for 4 days) and then were able to wipe that travel expense out with points. There are general rules of thumb, often a point equals a $.01 so in this case would be 150,000 points. I can go into much more detail on how we reach those minimum spends and when we apply for credit cards as a part of our regular family budget on the Q/A call. I did some research into what hotel works best for our family in the area and I'll jump into that in a bit below. Ultimately we landed on Cabana Bay Beach Resort and used the Chase Ultimate Rewards to pay for our hotel. It doesn't always make sense for us to use reward points for hotels and car rentals. I can go into much more detail on what we look for and when it makes sense to pay for accommodations/transportation to earn bonus categories vs. when it makes sense to use rewards if you want to have insight into my brain and how we approach this. Best Hotel-hacking options for larger families. Hotels in general can be tricky for families. As your kids get older it's not as easy to coordinate sleeping arrangements. We have found several specific hotels within the various hotel families. As a family of 5 hotels in general are harder. As I was finding the right formula for our family I would look at things like: was there free parking or free shuttle to the airport? Could we make a meal in the room? Was there free breakfast or perks with hotel status that we could optimize? Usually the selling factor for the kids, is there a pool? Within the 3 major families of hotel Marriot, IHG, and Hilton there are several branches that offer options for families. Three of our favorites are: Residence Inn or Springhill Suites by Marriott Embassy Suites by Hilton Hyatt House or Hyatt Place by IHG And if I am paying cash I appreciate Comfort Suites. As I alluded to at the start of this episode, travel rewards can be overwhelming and the content out there is not always geared towards families of 3 or more.

Mortgage delinquency rates hit lowest levelThe overall mortgage delinquency rate for loans past due by at least 30 days fell to 4% -- the lowest level since the onset of the pandemic. According to CoreLogic, all states posted annual decreases in their overall delinquency rates led by Idaho with a labor market that has recovered all of the jobs lost in March.Profit margins on home and condo sales highest in a decadeThe typical home sale across the country during the 3Q 2021 posted a record-breaking 47.6% profit margin on median-priced single-family home and condo sales across the United States -- the highest since the Great Recession, according to ATTOM U.S. Home Sales Report.Investors vs. first-time buyersRealtor.com noted that investors made up 5.5% of all home purchases in the first 7 months of 2021, with the highest share of purchased homes in Memphis, Birmingham, St. Louis, Charlotte, and Jacksonville. These investors are ready to pay in cash compared to first-time buyers who depend on a mortgage, which puts them at a disadvantage when competing for affordable homes.Housing market may see a boost as travel bans endThere's an expected resurgence of home buying from foreigners as travel bans will soon be lifted in about 33 countries for vaccinated visitors. Buyers from Europe, China, Brazil, and India will be reviving the property markets in New York, Miami, Los Angeles for the first time in 20 months.US cities with the highest homebuyer down paymentsThe Villages, FL tops the list of metros with the highest average down payment at 27.1% and a median home list price of $366,950.

Sempre valorizei uma casa bem cuidada: limpa, organizada, cheirosa e com alimentos. Nossa casa fala muito sobre nós, sobre o que gostamos, como vivemos, como somos, desde as coisas mais minuciosas até outras mais relevantes. Sou caseira, mesmo quando estou fora, estou dentro, isso porque, acabo transformando o lugar onde estiver, seja em qualquer lugar do mundo, em "minha casa". Lembro de alguns lugares onde me hospedei, fosse apenas por alguns dias ou por algumas semanas, logo tratava de transformar o espaço que ocupava, em "meu lugar" costumizando, imprimindo minha personalidade, marcando território, ainda que fosse por um pequeno espaço de tempo, ali era "minha casa". Passei por quartos de hotéis, pousadas, backpackers, campings, resorts, bangalows, quarto na casa de alguém, enfim, eu me faço definitiva, provisoriamente... Uma vez em Kihei, Maui, precisei ficar por alguns dias acampando, morando provisoriamente numa pequena barraca que montei na praia, não era qualquer praia, era um lugar lindo, tranquilo, praticamente deserto; lembro que organizei o lugar de tal jeito que me integrei à natureza, me sentindo completamente parte dela, estava muito à vontade, super feliz com "minha casa" naquele lugar paradisíaco, sozinha. Um dia, acordei com um guarda me chamando na entrada da barraca para me informar que eu não poderia acampar ali, era proibido, me senti despejada, embora, não tenha sido bem assim que aconteceu, sim, ele foi firme, porém, polido ao falar comigo, e aí, teria que levantar acampamento antes do anoitecer ou poderia ter problemas com a policia. Me retirei né?! Estava tão bom ali, sem pagar nada, com "minha casa" fincada na areia, com árvores no meu entorno, tinha até uma sala ao ar livre, com troncos de árvores usados como bancos para sentarmos (sim, eu era visitada), e uma mesinha improvisada onde escrevia e fazia minhas refeições, olha que maravilha! Tinha o mar bem na minha frente, o som das águas, das ondas se movendo, dos pássaros, tinha o vento, a brisa,o sol, a lua, muitas estrelas e um céu inteiro sobre mim... Havia tanta liberdade naquela moradia, tanta dignidade, tanta saúde e alegria... Mas, as regras da civilização moderna, as regras me impuseram um novo destino e eu tive que me retirar. Foram algumas semanas de paraíso, gratuito!! Sempre fui feliz onde quer que estivesse morando, até num carro morei por alguns dias, sim, eu tive um jeep vermelho comprado em Kahului que me custou pouco mais de U$1000 mil dolares (bem baratinho), e às vezes, eu dormia nele, quando sentia necessidade de mudar um pouco de lugar. Nas minhas moradas, de acordo com minha realidade e minhas condições, especialmente a financeira, eu dou sempre um jeito de transformar o lugar aonde estou, penso, que para poder me sentir em casa verdadeiramente, me sentir acolhida e poder acolher outras pessoas também. Sempre gostei muito de receber: estranhos, conhecidos, amigos, se recebia é porque estava disposta a tratá-los com dignidade e afetivamente. Acredito que receber alguém na nossa casa é uma honra mútua, poder alimentar, acolher (no sentido mais puro da palavra), é uma das experiências mais lindas que conheço e que podemos compartilhar, para isso só necessitamos "querer"! Amo receber, amo alimentar, amo cuidar, servir, sentir que estou sendo uma boa anfitriã, atenciosa, cuidadosa e que estou dando o melhor de mim naquele momento para aquela pessoa, isso pra mim tem um valor extraordinário, ou eu recebo com vontade, com tesão, sinceramente, ou melhor não! Olha, eu experimentei trocas incríveis ao longo da minha vida nesse sentido, com certeza isso está entre os maiores prazeres da vida: compartilhar, acolher, se doar, se permitir, receber! Há alguns anos eu estou na plataforma do Airbnb e Booking, elas operam com hospedagem, acontece no mundo inteiro. Essa parceria alargou ainda mais minhas possiblidades como anfitriã e tem colaborado substancialmente para esse estilo de vida ao qual me encaixo muito bem... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chris-magalhu00e3es/message
Aloha! Most visits to Maui begin in Kahului, where the main airport is located. Not many people spend a lot of time exploring Kahului, Wailuku and their surroundings during vacation, but there are hidden gems not to be missed. Wailuku is the county seat where all the business gets done, but it’s also home to local shops, boutiques, and coffee houses. Kahului is a water sport capital and home to Kanaha Beach, a mile of beautiful beach, green lawn, shade trees, and picnic areas. Try some of our suggestions and you’ll see why so many Maui residents call this area home.

In July of 2019, 23-year-old Khiara Henry was visiting Hawaii, enjoying a leisure trip by herself. An avid traveler and accomplished athlete, Khiara joined several tour groups for hikes and sightseeing on her vacation. On July 21, 2019, Khiara rented a car from the Kahului airport. The last confirmed sighting of Khiara was on surveillance footage at the rental agency. Less than a week later, an employee of the rental car company contacted Khiara's sister to let her know that the vehicle was found abandoned in a state park. No one has seen Khiara Henry since. This is a story with many questions and unconfirmed sightings, but none of the leads they have received have led to finding Khiara.If you have any information about the disappearance of Khiara Henry, please call the Maui County Police Department at 808-244-6400.You can follow Khiara's case on social media at Find Khiara Henry.This episode was sponsored by:Theragun- Go to Theragun.com/VANISHED.Best Fiends- Download Best Fiends FREE on the Apple App Store or Google Play.DoorDash- Download the DoorDash App and enter promo code VANISHED to get $5 off your purchase of $15 or more.Trivia Star- Trivia Star is offering you 2,500 coins and 500 gems when you download and play.

Hurricane Douglas is closing in on the islands Sunday, bringing lashing rains, strong winds and life-threatening surf. Oahu, Maui County and Kauai all remain under a hurricane warning and emergency officials are urging residents to hunker down now. Meanwhile, the Big Island and Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument are under a tropical storm warning. By HNN Staff | July 20, 2020 at 5:31 PM HST - Updated July 26 at 1:18 PM HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Hurricane Douglas is closing in on the islands Sunday, bringing lashing rains, strong winds and life-threatening surf. Oahu, Maui County and Kauai all remain under a hurricane warning and emergency officials are urging residents to hunker down now. Meanwhile, the Big Island and Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument are under a tropical storm warning. At 1 p.m. Sunday, Douglas remained a dangerous Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds near 85 mph and higher gusts. It was located about 25 miles northeast of Kahului, and 115 miles east of Honolulu. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center said the storm is tracking west-northwest at about 16 mph.
NISEI VETERANS MEMORIAL CENTER ANNOUNCES “An Afternoon with the Author” series The Nisei Veterans Memorial Center is proud to announce its “An Afternoon with the Author” series. The series will be conducted monthly via ZOOM conferencing, kicking off on Saturday, July 18 at 1:30 P.M. with award winning author Julie Checkoway who wrote “The Three Year Swim Club" NVMC’s “An Afternoon With The Author” will invite published fiction and non-fiction writers from around Hawaii and the mainland into our homes. By means of ZOOM, the Center will host a different author each month to talk about their work, the story behind the story, and their personal journey on the way to having their work published.Chosen because of its tie to the Japanese-American and local experience, each author’s work connects individuals with larger truths and ideas about society. After all, everything that happens in the world can be written and learned from literature which through the centuries has shaped civilizations, changed political systems, exposed injustice and observed the human condition. Literature is the foundation of humanity's cultures, beliefs, and traditions. About “The Three Year Swim Club”: This story revolves around school teacher Soichi Sakamoto, who took a group of Japanese-American children from a Maui sugar plantation and taught them how to be champion swimmers, practicing in one of the plantation's fetid irrigation ditches. If the basis for the book doesn't sound amazing enough, how the story unfolds—Japan vying for the Olympic games, Pearl Harbor being bombed, WWII changing the world forever—allows the story and characters to evolve in uplifting and heartbreaking ways. Checkoway is equal to the task of telling this moving narrative. Her top-notch skill as a researcher allows her to bring to life the long-forgotten saga of the swim team, which she fears might otherwise "simply disappear." Depicting determination, discrimination, hope, anguish, hard work, and hard choices, Checkoway has created a sports history that is singular in its own right, and a fitting testament to the over 200 youths who swam for many reasons toward one goal: "Olympics First! Olympics Always. To register, call the NVMC at 244-NVMC (6862) or email deidre@nvmc.org.

Deidre Tegarden, Executive Director talks about the new leadership series. NISEI VETERANS MEMORIAL CENTER ANNOUNCES 2020 Leadership Series “Ta-ke” The Nisei Veterans Memorial Center is proud to announce its 2020 Leadership Series titled “TAKE” (ta-kay 竹 , which means bamboo in Japanese). The series will be conducted monthly via ZOOM conferencing, kicking off on Tuesday, June 23 at 4:00 P.M. The series will feature outstanding leaders in our community sharing their insights on modern day society, current issues we are collectively facing, and how through the lens of the Nisei Values, we can get past today’s obstacles for a brighter tomorrow as we resume our daily lives after months of social distancing. The first presentation on Tuesday, June 23 at 4:00 P.M will be titled The New Normal, led by Paul K. Yonamine, Executive Chairman of Central Pacific Bank, and Chairman & CEO of Central Pacific Financial Corp. Paul will share with us his views on Nisei values and why these are important to navigate through COVID-19’s impact and to thrive in the new normal. With his vast experience internationally in business as well as his own life-story as a Japanese American it is bound to be a very interesting, personal, informative and inspiring hour-long talk. In Japan’s bygone years, people were told to run for safety into bamboo groves in the event of an earthquake because the bamboo's strong root structure would hold the Earth together. Perhaps in today’s societal and political atmosphere it is more important than ever to seek inspiration in that which holds the Earth together, that which holds us together. The Nisei values of courage, respect, humility, perseverance, resiliency, compassion, obligation and patience offer a perfect template for us.

Flight 106. The 2020 Virus Crash, the world is shutting down, no one is flying — this could become the biggest downturn ever in aviation history and perhaps the biggest global recession since World War II (we certainly do not hope so, we all need to beat this damn Covid-19!). Our thoughts are with all the people in the wider travel industry. Tons of airlines are now at risk around the globe, with bankruptcies and bailouts a certainty, following absolutely massive drops in demand, insane border closures (those are accelerating, and it's only the start), routes suspensions at an unprecedented scale, forced quarantines, fear and uncertainty. But hey, come on, we have good upbeat stories for you (airline bunk beds are a thing!), flight reviews (that turbulent landing!), and, as always, a good banter. Cheer up, keep healthy — we will get through this.

Flying at night can be beautiful, thrilling and challenging at the same time. Flying fundamentals at night are the same, but there’s an added layer of vigilance and focus that must be maintained to fly safely at night. Here in Hawaii, flying at night might as well be flying in instrument conditions. With no sense of the horizon flying over the black open water, a good instrument scan is essential. On Episode 61 we’re flying at night for the first time in four years, and doing it in Hawaii! https://www.flymauihi.com/ Gain the knowledge you need to pass your Private, Instrument or Commercial FAA written exam, plus “whole picture” learning that will make you a lifelong, safe aviator.

Sadly, life can dish things out to us that we don't know how to handle. Its in these difficult times its hard to 'deal' with them with compassion, respect and grace. You could be feeling tremendous loss, sadness or disappointment. Loosing my dad, and almost my mom; in a very short period of time, put me to the ultimate test...to Living Aloha. Sounds corny to the average person, but to the Hawaiian people; its a way of life. They greet one another with such passion and love; like it could be the last day they will see each other. They're not afraid to show there love for one another. So no regrets if something happens to that special person. So how do you live aloha? Treat everyone that you love, the way that you may never see them again. Simple right? Not really. We are always in a rush to do whatever it is we need to do. But, let us try to greet friends and family with unbridled love and affection...cause what do we have to lose? Maybe them.... :( Mo Ono Acai Bowl Food Truck in Kahului for the absolute best ACAI BOWL EVER!!! Get their lilikoi syrup as a topping....YUMMO!!

You have a dream to learn how to fly… but for whatever reason, maybe right now is not the right time to jump in the plane and begin lessons. It could be that you’re too young or don’t have the money or time set aside yet for full time training. It could be that you live in an area with terrible winter weather, so you’re just counting the days until summer to start. Having to wait can be terribly frustrating. In fact, a lot of potential students walk away from the dream in the process of waiting. On today’s episode we’re going to throw out some ideas how to make aviation a part of your life and prepare for flight training. Even if you’re playing the waiting game, you can get one step ahead in your planning and training, so when the time comes, you’ll be ahead of the curve. https://www.flymauihi.com/ Gain the knowledge you need to pass your Private, Instrument or Commercial FAA written exam, plus “whole picture” learning that will make you a lifelong, safe aviator.

All hands on deck! The Pono Power Coalition contested case hearing against the Paeahu Solar Project to be located in between Maui Meadows and Kula was held last week at the Maui Tech Park. What does it mean when 50,000 solar panels are installed 250 ft away from our communities? Is this a small price to pay for our state's path to 100% renewable energy independence or an eye sore that should be located elsewhere? This show brings all the participants together, the PUC, the Consumer Advocate, the utility itself.. Hawaiian Electric Companies, the developer, Innergex, as well as the plaintiff, the Pono Power Coalition. Thought provoking questions are raised! Is VPP and distributed customer sited solar an alternative to utility scale solar? Was the use of one common attorney by the many developers a violation of anti-trust laws? Is our community getting the best deal possible for this energy? Should the RFP process itself bring in community members' perspectives earlier when considering solar farm locations? Will our community be able to meet its RPS milestones if this level of public scrutiny is received on the many other projects ahead of us in RFP Phase 2? Change is upon us folks. Tune in to get your daily dose of utility scale Sunshine controversy!!! Hear a recorded field interview takeaway with Innergex representative Eddie Park post hearing and a call-in by Pono Power Coalition representative Carolann Barrows. Consumer advocate declined comment while both the Public Utility Commission and Maui Electric issued statements as listed below: XXXXXX PUC The following is a statement from Hawaii Public Utilities Commission Chair James Griffin: “The parties and participants may file post-hearing briefs two weeks after the hearing transcript is completed. The PUC will notify the parties when the transcript has been filed with the Commission. The PUC will issue a decision after receiving the briefs and no timeline has been set for the decision.” Thank you and have a great weekend! Jodi Jodi Endo Chai Executive Officer State of Hawaii - Public Utilities Commission XXXXXX Aloha Josh, Nice chatting with you over the phone and thank you for your email. The Consumer Advocate's office does not have any further comment to add to which was already made on record into the docket. If you have any specific questions for this, we can answer them at a later time (with more lead time would be appreciated, too).
Tasha Kama is Presiding Officer Pro Tempore of the Maui County Council, and she holds the Council seat for the Kahului residency area. Writing a description for this episode is extremely difficult, because I don't want to come off as too bias, but it is no secret that I am a fan. Councilmember Kama is not the type of person that immediately comes to mind when you think "politician," but that is what makes her so exceptional in my book. Having raised 11 children on Maui and spent years as an activist and community organizer well before seeking political office, it is undeniable that CM Kama is deeply rooted in the Maui community and is genuinely committed to making Maui a better place. Regardless of whether you agree with CM Kama's approach to politics or not, she is someone who is certainly deserving of respect and admiration. I'm going to go ahead and think of this episode a "Thanksgiving Special," because it felt more like I was getting together with my favorite auntie than conducting an interview. Seriously, after I stopped recording she gave me lemon bars and we chatted about Christmas decorations. I hope you enjoy this episode, and I am thankful for all you folks who keep listening.

On last week’s episode we shared some of our initial thoughts and reactions one day after passing our instrument rating check rides. Today, we’re diving deeper into how we prepared for that day beginning with ground school, on to our flight training, then the practical test itself. Whatever level of flight training you’re at, we hope this episode gives some practical tips how to successfully progress through the process.

Hi, this is The Weekly Gambling News Roundup.The news today is brought to you by........EasyMobileCasino.com and PlaySlots4RealMoney.Com (that's the numeral 4) for more updates...............The Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas was in the news a few weeks ago for its vintage progressive Keno video game. The game offered a long-running progressive jackpot that was finally hit by one lucky player. Eric Santos of Kahului, Hawaii walked away with the $96,000 jackpot on Saturday, Sept.21.The Keno game at the Plaza actually originated at the Western Casino. The video game was relocated to the Las Vegas Club with the jackpot still intact. The game made its way to the Plaza where the jackpot was then transferred to a newer machine. The original Keno machine operated on coins. As a vintage gambling machine, it will be raffled off in an October contest at the Plaza. This will be part of a special promotion at the Las Vegas casino resort. There will be two separate contests that month with plans to giveaway a dozen classic coin machines. Popular titles such as Joker Poker, Deuces Wild and Catch the Heat will be part of the collection. These vintage machines have quite a bit of nostalgic popularity. However, their antiquated technology is no longer compatible with newer slot machines.Caesars Sells Its Las Vegas Casino Rio for $516 MillionThe Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino has been sold for $516 million. Caesars Entertainment currently owns the Rio. The new owner will be a real estate investment company that is part of Imperial Companies. The deal is still subject to regulatory approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission. As part of the terms of the deal, Caesars will continue to operate the Rio for two years. The Las Vegas gaming giant will pay $45 million annually in rent. The deal also includes a $7 million third-year option for Caesars’ continued management services.The Rio is located off the Las Vegas Strip. The buyer has also left open an option for continued Caesars management after the terms of the current agreement expires. The Rio will remain part of the Caesars rewards program as part of the deal. There is also an agreement to keep the World Series of Poker at this location through 2020. Ownership of this highly popular event is not part of the agreement. Caesars will maintain ownership of WSP as a proprietary event.Imperial Companies is a real estate investment firm based in New York. Earlier this year, Caesars announced that it would merge with Eldorado Resorts out of Reno. That deal was valued at more than $17 billion.

Chef Sheldon Simeon is as passionate about music as he is about bringing Hawaiian food to a new generation. On the Season 2 premiere episode of The Shift List podcast, Chef Sheldon revealed that if he could do anything other than be a chef, it would be a ukulele player. “My cooking's heavily inspired by music, for sure,” Simeon said on the podcast. “Like a song, food can tell a story, and that's what I'm trying to do. With my food, I'm just trying to tell the story of Hawai'i, on the level of Ka'au Crater Boys,” he adds, laughing. “The greatest (Hawaiian) band ever!” Chef Sheldon Simeon's Shift List: Ka'au Crater Boys - “On Fire” Ka'au Crater Boys - “Brown Eyed Girl” Ka'au Crater Boys - “Are You Missing Me” Ka'ikena Scanlan - “Smoke All Day” Ka'ikena Scanlan - “Utu Bang Bang” The Green - “Good One” The Green - “All I Need” Ledward Kaapana - “Radio Hula” Cultura Profetica - “La Complicidad” Three Plus - “Who the Cap Fit” Content to jam on the ukulele with friends in his spare time, Sheldon came to prominence on the mainland when he competed in the 10th season of “Top Chef: Seattle,” making it to the finals, and winning Fan Favorite. He returned to the show again in 2017 for season 14 of “Top Chef in Charleston,” once again winning Fan Favorite. In 2016, Sheldon opened his very first solo restaurant, Tin Roof, in Kahului, Maui, where he serves up local dishes in take-out bowls, and last summer he opened Lineage, a full service concept for dinner that brings his interpretation of family-style dishes typical of a Hawaiian luau.
Last week on Episode 40 we talked about some of the reasons that student pilots drop out in such high numbers. Some of those reasons included money, the hard work of flight training, and a lack of structure, just to name a few. On this week’s episode we’re keeping a similar theme, but we’re going to approach it from the CFI’s point of view. Here to help us today, is our own instructor, Ovick Kar. https://www.flymauihi.com/ http://www.flyingwithapurpose.com/ Gain the knowledge you need to pass your Private, Instrument or Commercial FAA written exam, plus “whole picture” learning that will make you a lifelong, safe aviator.

The Hana Airport in remote East Maui has become one of our favorite airports to fly into. Although it’s just a 15 minute flight from Kahului, it’s one of the most scenic flights in all of Hawaii. On this episode, we’re recording from the Hana Airport while we’re celebrating an anniversary “staycation” in Hana. Hana has an interesting history, and it’s one of most popular places for visitors to explore while on Maui.

Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode, both Popeye and I talk about our recent experiences with renting a Harley and riding in Maui, Hawaii. We actually went completely separate times and had different experiences. We were just talking about it for the first time on this episode. The cool thing is that we both rode somewhat different routes. Popeye has also ridden another Island and tells you which experience was better. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE! There are some rather unimproved roads in Maui and certain roads require a bit more riding experience. Don't worry, there are also plenty of easier roads and we'll give you the details based on your riding experience. We discuss in depth how our Harley rental experience went. We provide you with some best practices, tips, and tricks if you are going to rent a Harley in Maui. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! We highly recommend that if you are going to visit Maui to rent a Harley and spend a day riding the Island. There are some beautiful roads and scenery and you'll never forget the experience. So, take a listen and see if riding Maui is on your "must ride" list. My Ride: I was riding with my 12-year-old daughter and opted out of the long and popular Hana Highway (Hwy 360) this time around. I didn't just want to hammer down all day like I'd do by myself. I figured I can do that ride next time I go to Hawaii. I rode out of Kannapali to the north around Hwy 30 up around the top of the Island and planned to keep going back down the east side of the Island along Hwy 340 into Kahului. However, up around the Nakalele Blowhole they had the road shut down due to construction. This would normally be about a 1 1/2 hour ride with no stops. But there are plenty of sights that you'll want to stop see along the way. We had to turn around and go back down Hwy 30 along the west side of Maui and crossed east along Hwy 380 into Kahului. This was a beautiful ride and we really enjoyed it. We ate at Da Kitchen located at 425 Koloa St., Suite 104 Kahului, HI 96732. It was featured on the Food Networks show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. The food was outstanding and I highly recommend it. Popeye's Ride: Popeye had his wife along and she can hang in the saddle a bit longer than my 12-year-old daughter. They opted to ride out of Kaanapali and did ride the famous Hwy 360, Hana Highway. They really liked the ride and said it was beautiful, but expect isolated rain as it's a rainforest. Also, that ride for them was about 3 hours one way with no stops (77 miles). Ad another 3 hrs to return and you're looking at 6 hours saddle time with no stops. And there are a ton of stops along the Hana Highway and you'll likely want to eat at some point. So, that is a super long day, so just understand that if you choose that ride. Additionally, after riding the Hana Highway, they rode up the east side of the Island to the north out of Kahului along Hwy 340 and their plan was to continue around the north side of the Island via Hwy 3o. This is the way my daughter and I tried, but the opposite direction. Well, they too were stopped by the road construction and turned around. Riding this additional loop would add an additional 1 1/2 hrs to the ride with no stops. Again, there are things you'll want to stop and see in my opinion. Popeye and his wife didn't do much stopping and just laid down miles. If you are going to do both of these routes in one day, then just plan on throttling down with very little time to stop. You'll have to decide if you want to just plain ride or have some time to stop and see things. Further on Hana Highway: Although Hāna is only about 52 miles (84 km) from Kahului, it takes about 2.5 hours to ride when no stops are made as the highway is very winding and narrow and passes over 59 bridges, 46 of which are only one lane wide. There are approximately 620 curves along Route 360 from just east of Kahului to Hāna, virtually all of it through lush, tropical rainforest.

Episode 16: In this episode we talk about Kalo or Taro, Colocasia esculenta. To learn about this staple of the Hawaiian diet, we visit the Maui Nui Botanical Gardens located in Kahului on the island of Maui. At Maui Nui, we speak with Tamara Sherrill and John Aquino. Former Plant Collections Manager, Tamara is now Maui Nui's Executive Director. Tamara describes several old Hawaiian varieties of Kalo, Kalo propagation, and Native and Canoe Plants. We also talk with farmer and Hawaiian Plant Expert John Aquino about what parts of the Kalo are edible, how it's grown, his farm on Maui, and traditional Hawaiian farming methods.
