Dog Leash and Collar Manufacturing Business... Stylish, indestructible leashes and stunning collars engineered to perfection!
The first year in business we sold over $12,000 in leashes alone. We opened 50 store accounts and were selling retail on our website.
Then partnership problems ensued and had to buy out my partner. Since then I let my sales reps go and I have been turning down orders while I redesigned the leashes and came out with a line of very unique collars. So... the business is further along than a startup but has lost some momentum as an established business.
I have over $40,000 invested in research, development, tools and inventory. Everything is included in the sale of this business. The Swarovski crystal gemstone collars are truly unique and amazing. I had special dies made to fit in presses to construct them. It is quite the engineering feat and the results are outstanding.
The profit margin is about 1:5, including labor. So for every $1 spent on labor and materials, you get $5 on the retail level and there is a healthy enough margin for selling wholesale or hiring distributors.
Americans spend 41 billion dollars a year on their pets. Leashes and collars are a huge part of that market and Sirius leashes and collars are unique and beautiful enough to carve out a nice segment of that market. I also have the name Dynoleash trademarked and own the domains for Dynoleash.com and Dinoleash.com. They are good names to tie into The Sirius Collection for brand recognition. Sirius is the Dog Star and I own 844-Dog-Star for people to call in toll-free. The Sirius constellation ties in nicely with the sparkling Swarovski gemstones in the collars.
There are probably more wholesale and retail trade shows in your general vicinity to make a good living just doing that. Or you can hire a manufacturer's rep to sell to stores across the country. If you are comfortable with social media, you can draw a lot of traffic to the website. I have already set up Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest accounts but I haven't actually done any promotions.
How did I arrive at the selling price?
The price is based on the first year $12,477 income, the costly 3-year research and development, the extensive inventory, the unique designs and the huge potential. Income is verified by tax return, which is available to a serious buyer (or should I say Sirius buyer?).
Why am I selling it?
Well, the bottom line is that I just don't have a passion for it. My business partner loved his dog and I guess you could say that I built the business around his passion. But once we went separate ways, I realized that this wasn't as much my thing as his.
I enjoy the process of creating and inventing and sourcing but I am not an enthusiastic social media guy. Maybe a little too old for that, and I think that is the main missing ingredient.
Yes, I am taking a loss on the sale of this business. Not just in money but in hundreds of man hours involved. Anyone who runs with it from here is getting a very good deal!
To reiterate a few strong points here:
1) The potential is proven with enough of a track record to know that it is a very desirable product line.
2) All the engineering, trial and error and manufacturing lines have been established.
3) There is enough inventory to make more than your investment back without needing major purchases.
4) This can be run out of your home or garage (only requires a couple of hundred sq feet of space).
5) Super strong, yet lightweight dog leashes.
6) Uniquely gorgeous and prestigious dog collars.
7) Attractive and functioning website.
8) Everything is made in the USA. No need to rely on Chinese components and people like Made in USA products.
9) Redesigned website in WordPress is ready to start promoting and selling.
10) Can be moved to anywhere in the USA.
11) Includes a $3,000 dog engraving machine which can be set up at shows. Tags are so inexpensive that the

I have successfully operated Earth, Wind, and Fire Boutique, a woman's clothing and jewelry boutique, for 23 years in the Pike Place Market. The focus has been on providing exceptional service to customers while offering unique designer tops, blouses, jackets, coats and hand-crafted jewelry. We offer high quality clothing and jewelry not readily available in other stores. Our clothes utilize sophisticated silks, soft cottons, warm wools, and other beautiful fabrics. The jewelry is from excellent designers from all over the world employing semi-precious stones and crystals in exquisite designs. Our customers appear to like what we are doing because revenues have doubled approximately every four years.
We do survey customers to determine how they found us. We have a huge number of return customers, even among out-of-towners. They tell us they cannot find our merchandise anywhere else, and we believe our exceptional customer service contributes to their positive feeling about the store and the merchandise.
The Pike Place Market hired a professional surveying company to evaluate each store on appearance, customer service and performance. Proudly, Earth, Wind, and Fire Boutique was rated in the top 20 out of 250 stores in the Pike Place Market.
Being located in the Pike Place Market has been very helpful. The 10-12 million visitors coming to the market annually is an exceptional sales opportunity. Many of the visitors stay for a day or two days prior to leaving or arriving on one of the 10-13 cruise ships sailing weekly for Alaska between May to October. Our proximity to the Washington State Convention Center and the many surrounding hotels is also a significant plus. We track the conventions and gear up for the increased traffic they bring. Conventions tend to be stronger from September to June, making a nice balance to the cruise activity.
The Pike Place Market is an excellent landlord and a good business partner. They advertise year-round in print, radio, television, and have a good website. They run many festivals during the year to drive traffic into the Market. They also offer a co-op advertising program to tenants.
Our store is a warm, friendly refuge from strain of traveling and sight seeing. We establish a relaxing, cozy environment with the romantic fountain, the crystal chandeliers, the fireplace, and the beautiful European armoire cases. Our customers are able to try on beautiful clothes and jewelry in the comfort of a charming and inviting atmosphere.
Being in the Pike Place Market has given me the opportunity to meet people from all over the world, everyday! I will miss the fun and excitement of being in the store. However, I truly believe Earth, Wind, and Fire Boutique is well positioned for even greater growth. New ownership with strong sales and marketing expertise could again double the sales in a few years. We are willing to help the right buyer get off to a great start.

text: Kate O'Hare Share This: Print Latest News From 'Ben-Hur' to 'Nazareth' to 'The Sisterhood'--Film and TV Court Christians There's an old saw about standing on the shoulders of giants and thinking you're tall. In other words, you take full advantage of what came before you while pretending, or even wrongly believing, that it sprang fully-formed from your own head or just materialized out of the ether. Apr 27, 2014 10:07 AM PT Pelosi and the Pope: A Tale of Two Thursdays On Thursday, April 17, known as Maundy Thursday or Holy Thursday on the 2014 Christian calendar, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Pope Francis both participated in a foot-washing ritual, but apparently with very different goals. Apr 18, 2014 3:58 PM PT Does a Scrap of Egyptian Papyrus Prove Jesus Was Married? A paper published on Thursday, April 10, in the Harvard Theological Review cited scientific studies that dated a business-card-sized scrap of papyrus, written in the Egyptian Coptic language, to at least the sixth-to-ninth century and possibly the fourth century. Apr 13, 2014 5:55 PM PT Heterodoxy and Orthodoxy: Latin Mass Lives in Liberal Southern California At 12:30 p.m. every Sunday at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in the coastal Orange County town of Costa Mesa, California, first-time mass attendees may think they've stepped back in time. Apr 7, 2014 9:43 AM PT Buffalo Mass Mob Concept Goes Viral On Feb. 1, the Associated Press ran a piece on the Buffalo Mass Mob, led by organizer and founder Christopher Byrd, which uses Facebook and Twitter to assemble like-minded lay Catholics and vote on which of a selection of the city's under-attended but beautiful historic churches they're going to attend Mass at on a given weekend. The story got picked up in print, on television, and on the Web – including by Breitbart, which did a Q&A with Byrd a few days later, and even by a site in Denmark – and began to spread. Then the idea itself took root in other cities. Apr 1, 2014 2:10 AM PT Pope Francis and Obama: Two Tales of One Meeting On March 27, President Obama met with Pope Francis at the Vatican, but the topics of discussion remain in dispute. Whatever was talked about, it's hard to imagine that the pontiff could win over Obama in areas where they disagree, such as religious liberty and human rights for the unborn. Mar 28, 2014 11:32 PM PT Pope Francis to Meet With Bishops on Divorce and Remarriage, Media Get It Wrong At some point in the media's ongoing coverage of Pope Francis, one would assume they would start to get a clue about how Catholicism works. So far, one would be mostly wrong in doing so--especially as regards the Catholic view of the sacrament of Holy Matrimony. Mar 27, 2014 2:18 PM PT Nancy Pelosi, John Boehner Invite Pope Francis to Address Congress On Thursday, March 13, the one-year anniversary of the election of Argentinian Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio to the papacy of the Catholic Church, Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), Speaker of the House of Representatives--and a Catholic--issued an open invitation to Pope Francis, as Bergoglio is now called, to speak before a joint meeting of the United States Congress in Washington, D.C. Mar 14, 2014 7:01 PM PT Pope Francis, Cardinal Dolan, and Civil Unions: What Was Said, and What Wasn't On March 5, Pope Francis gave an interview to the Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera in which he was asked a question concerning civil unions as a legal alternative to marriage. Mar 13, 2014 9:28 AM PT Cardinal Mahony's Legacy: L.A. Archdiocese Docs Show Child Sex Abuse Coverup A question on the minds of a lot of Catholics and non-Catholics alike is why Cardinal Roger Mahony has not faced criminal prosecution, but it's not one that the Vatican can answer. Ultimately, it lies with the Los Angeles County district attorney and the U.S. attorney's office, both of which conducted investigations into allegations that Mahony covered up child abuse accusations and sheltered accused perpetrators in the Los Angeles Archdiocese. Feb 26, 2014 2:19 AM PT Russell Crowe Wants Pope Francis to Screen 'Noah' When the Catholic Church has approved of something printed about it or the Faith, the book or document bears a stamp that reads Nihil Obstat, a Latin phrase indicating "nothing stands in the way" of it being published, along with the Imprimatur of the local bishop, which means "let it be printed." Feb 25, 2014 10:21 AM PT 'The Francis Effect': Who's Feeling It? Who Isn't? It appears that the world loves Pope Francis, but American Catholics in particular are resistant to the harder teachings of the Church he heads, with a surge in Mass attendance overseas having yet to break on U.S. shores. Feb 10, 2014 7:13 AM PT Buffalo Mass Mob Fills Forgotten Churches' Pews and Coffers Led by organizer and founder Christopher Byrd, 46, the Buffalo Mass Mob votes via its website to pick a parish church to visit on a given Sunday. The choices are then promoted through Facebook and Twitter, and the chosen church gets full pews for perhaps the first time in many years--and a healthy sum in the collection basket. Feb 4, 2014 2:14 PM PT Vatican Takes Rolling Stone to Task for Errors in Pope Francis Profile Imagine, on Super Bowl Sunday, if a sports reporter piped up and said things like, "Hey, since it's called football, can you touch the ball?" or "Hey, what's with the blocking and tackling? That's kind of mean," or "Hey, touchdowns, those are important, right?" No one would tolerate a sports reporter that showed that level of ignorance about a subject he's chosen to address, but when it comes to the Catholic Church in general and the pope in particular, the under-informed just let their freak flag fly. Feb 2, 2014 7:19 AM PT Bones of Contention: Catholic Burials for the Remains of Kings Richard III and Alfred? As the Church of England, known popularly as the Anglican Church – along with its American cousin, the Episcopal Church – struggles to find its place while rapidly incorporating 21st Century social mores and cultural shifts into its flexible theology, there's a temptation to think of England and her national church as one.

This research reassesses the role of policing and drugs in the sharp homicide decline in New York City in the 1990s. Drawing on theoretical arguments about "broken windows" policing and lethal violence associated with the diffusion of crack cocaine, we estimate the effects of measures of misdemeanor arrests and cocaine prevalence on homicide rates with pooled, cross-sectional time-series data for 74 New York City precincts over the 1990-1999 period. The results of mixed regression models reveal a significant negative effect of changes in misdemeanor arrests and a significant positive effect of changes in cocaine prevalence on changes in total homicide rates. Additional analyses of homicide disaggregated by weapon indicate that the effects of misdemeanor arrests and cocaine prevalence emerge for gun-related but not for non-gun-related homicides. Overall, the research generally supports influential interpretations of the homicide decline in New York City but also raises questions about underlying mechanisms that warrant more inquiry in future research.

If you thought Melbourne had become expensive — you were right.
Melbourne has been ranked the eighth most expensive city in the world in a cost of living survey of 130 cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit.
While Melbourne basks in the title of the world's most liveable city (according to the Economist Intelligence Unit's Global Liveability Ranking), the privilege of living in Melbourne comes at a high price.
"The cost of living in Melbourne is now almost 50 per cent higher than that of global business centre New York — while a decade ago Melbourne was more than 25 per cent cheaper than New York," Worldwide Cost of Living report editor Jon Copestake said in a media release.
The cost of living survey compares hundreds of prices across 160 products and services, including, food, clothing, rent, transport, utility bills and recreational costs.
The survey has been carried out for 30 years and uses New York as the base city for comparison. Melbourne remains a more affordable city to live in than Sydney — which is now ranked the seventh most expensive of the 130 cities examined globally.
Rankings for other Australian cities include, Perth 12, Brisbane 13 and Adelaide 17.
The report found the cost of living in the five Australian cities was higher than cities such as London, Rome, New York, Berlin, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and Rio de Janeiro.
"Exchange rates have been the greatest influence for the Australian cost of living, with the Australian dollar seeing its value relative to the US dollar double in a decade, although local price inflation, especially last year, has also played a part," Mr Copestake said.
Switzerland had two of the three most expensive cities in the world to live in, Zurich 1 — up from five last year, Tokyo 2 — down from 1 and Geneva — up from 9.
The world's least expensive cities included, Dhaka, Algiers and New Delhi.
The 10 most expensive cities are:
- Zurich (Switzerland)
- Tokyo (Japan)
- Geneva (Switzerland)
- Osaka Kobe (Japan)
- Oslo (Norway)
- Paris (France)
- Sydney (Australia)
- Melbourne (Australia)
- Singapore
- Frankfurt (Germany)
The 10 least expensive cities are:
- Muscat (Oman)
- Dhaka (Bangladesh)
- Algiers (Algeria)
- Kathmandu (Nepal)
- Panama City (Panama)
- Jeddah (Saudi Arabia)
- New Delhi (India)
- Tehran (Iran)
- Mumbai (India)
- Karachi (Pakistan)

The Islamic State terror group is raking in an estimated $800 million per year, or $2 million per day, in crude oil sales which is produced in oil regions the group captured in the past year in Iraq and Syria, a U.S.-based global analytics group reported on Monday.
A report by IHS, a leading source in global information and analytics, found that ISIS is making twice as much off of their oil production per day than the $1 million per day figure that U.S. lawmakers were previously told when the Deputy Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Nicholas Rasmussen testified before Congress in September.
The IHS report stated that the Islamic State generates the income needed to continue funding its deadly jihadist movement through the production of over 50,000 barrels of crude oil per day, which is sold to black market traders. The report also added that ISIS is only producing "a fraction" of the total oil capacity of the oil regions it controls. more >>
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal issued an executive order on Monday calling for the immediate revision of the state's rules that determine the eligibility of rape and sexual assault victims looking for state-compensation for medical charges directly relating to their assaults. Jindal called for an end to double victimization of Louisiana rape victims who are often billed thousands of dollars from hospitals for health exams and tests.
Jindal issued his orders in the hours following a tense meeting of Louisiana state lawmakers and state health officials on Monday that addressed the state's Victims Reparations Fund. The governor's orders demand that the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement reconstruct its rules to better protect sexual assault victims. The state currently requires conditional circumstances for victims to qualify for medical cost compensation through the fund, which prevents many victims from being eligible to receive the funding, leaving them with large personal debts.
"We should not be victimizing people twice with hefty bills or uncomfortable investigations," Jindal's spokesperson Shannon Bates said. "Sexual assault is a heinous crime that causes a tremendous amount of suffering and we want to do everything we can to protect the victims of these terrible acts." more >>
An Islamic State security official revealed that when ISIS seized the Yazidi religious minority region of Sinjar in northern Iraq in early August, ISIS militants separated virgin girls from the rest of the captured women for the sole purpose of designating them to be given away as sex prizes to ISIS fighters, a group of anti-Islamic State activists reported.
In an interview with the Syrian activist group called "Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently" and published to the group's website on Saturday, an unnamed ISIS security official stationed in Raqqa highlighted the militant organization's sex slave practices and revealed that Yazidi virgins were filtered out from Yazidi married women and mothers so that they could be awarded to ISIS fighters who contributed on the front lines for the militant group.
The ISIS source told the activist group that after battles in northern Iraq, the militants gathered all the detained religious minority women and "captured the virgins, without others." The source said the virgins were then dispersed "exclusively" among the ISIS militants who participated in that particular battle in the region where the virgins were captured. The source added that the militants preferred virgins and did not concen themselves over married or pregnant women. more >>
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., is featuring a display showing graphic photos of murder and torture that are said to have been committed under the regime of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. A Syrian pastor has warned against using the images to justify expanding the war in the country, however.
The Associated Press reported that the photos are from an archive of 55,000 images smuggled out of Syria by a photographer, who has testified in Congress about witnessing the mass killing of prisoners. The journalist, who was only named by the codename "Caesar," said that the massacre was committed under the Assad regime.
"They show a side of the Syrian regime that hasn't really been really seen. You might have heard about it, read about it, but when you're confronted with these images, they're impossible to ignore," said Cameron Hudson, director of the museum's Center for the Prevention of Genocide. more >>
Islamic State members now have more to worry about than U.S.-led airstrikes and the Kurdish peshmerga fighters, with the recent increase in guerrilla attacks against them conducted by several Syrian rebel combat groups in eastern Syria.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group tracking the conflict, reports that they have seen an increase in the amount of guerrilla attacks on ISIS militants by gunman in the Deir al-Zor province, which alongside the Raqq province to the north, constitutes the biggest cog in the Islamic State threshold in Syria.
The Observatory said there are a number of groups that are conducting attacks on ISIS within the province, which is a major oil region in Syria and is still partly controlled by the government. more >>
The primates of the Armenian Apostolic Church and the Syrian Orthodox Church have urged Christians around the world to remember and reflect on the 1915 genocide of Armenians and Syriac Christians in Turkey, where up to 2 million people were killed or disappeared without a trace.
"We invite the entire Christian world to unite in prayer at the Armenian Genocide and the Syriac Sayfo centennial commemorative events in 2015. We call upon the civilized world to recognize and condemn the crimes committed against the Armenian and Syriac peoples as well as other Christian communities," read the joint statement by the Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of all Armenians, Karekin II, and the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch, Mar Ignatius Aphrem II, as reported by Fides News Agency on Wednesday.
The 1915 genocide during World War I in the territory of Ottoman Turkey is also known as the Armenian genocide, since Armenians made up close to 1.5 million of the victims. The attacks on Christians eliminated almost the entire Christian population in present day Turkey, leaving almost an entirely Muslim nation. more >>

A western Sydney man has been charged after he allegedly sold underage girls for sex for at least a decade.
He was arrested yesterday after police raided his Granville unit, where officers say they discovered a large quantity of pornography and other evidence.
The 53-year-old faces charges including aggravated sexual assault of a child, causing and benefiting from child prostitution and operating a premises where a child participates in prostitution.
Police say they began investigating the man earlier this month when a local woman complained about his dealings with her 12-year-old daughter.
Inquiries by officers revealed he was allegedly spending unexplained time with the girl and buying her cigarettes, clothing and flood.
Detectives say they also discovered two more 12-year-old girls who had run away from home to spend a week with the man.
The investigation then identified two 23-year-old women who were allegedly befriended by the man in their early teens.
Police say the two woman have told them they were prostituted by the man from the age of 13, while one says she was sexually assaulted by him when she was 15.
The man was held in custody overnight to face court today.

CHICAGO – The three-judge panel hearing arguments Tuesday about gay marriage bans in Indiana and Wisconsin peppered attorneys defending the laws with questions about what harm there is in allowing same-sex couples to marry.
And the attorneys had trouble answering, pointing to possible unintended consequences in the future.
The questioning by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals judges was hard-hitting – using terms such as "ridiculous," "absurd," and saying the state's attorneys were talking in circles.
"Don't you have to have some empirical or common-sense reason to ban marriage?" asked Judge Richard Posner, who most actively questioned the lawyers.
"What is the benefit of the law? Who is being helped by this law if anyone? What is the harm of allowing these people to marry? Does it hurt heterosexual marriage?"
More than 150 people crowded into the courthouse – many of them plaintiffs in three Indiana lawsuits that were consolidated on the federal level.
Indiana Solicitor General Thomas Fisher defended the law by saying it's in the state interest to encourage marriage among heterosexuals so children are raised in durable, long-term relationships.
"The argument in the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals is the one time in the case where the lawyers can speak directly to the judges; and vigorous questioning by judges is how the appellate process is supposed to work," said Attorney General Greg Zoeller.
"Since the larger legal question could end up before the United States Supreme Court, this 7th Circuit hearing is one important step in the process. As the state government's lawyers, my office has a duty in this appeal to defend Indiana's law. While this case stirs strong emotions on all sides, we urge everyone to show civility toward each other and respect for the court."
In late June, U.S. District Judge Richard Young tossed out Indiana's ban on gay marriage, saying "it is clear that the fundamental right to marry shall not be deprived to some individuals based solely on the person they choose to love."
Hundreds of gay couples around the state ran to courthouses and got married in the days following before the 7th Circuit issued a stay of the ruling.
The case involved three different lawsuits on behalf of a number of couples seeking the freedom to marry in Indiana or recognition of a marriage from another state. The decision also ordered immediate recognition of all out-of-state same-sex marriages in Indiana.
The Indiana law withstood a challenge in 2005 when the Indiana Court of Appeals upheld the statute defining marriage as between one man and one woman. But this time, plaintiffs took their case to the federal system, where other state statutes have been struck down.
Specifically, Young ruled the law violates the U.S. Constitution's equal protection clause and due process clause.
Indiana lawmakers this year fought about whether to put the state's traditional definition of marriage into the Indiana Constitution, which would have presumably protected it from a state court ruling. But they had no control over the federal courts.

Turn Tomboy Notes into Blog Posts
Productivity Sauce
Did you know that you can post Tomboy notes to your blog courtesy of the Tomboy Blogposter plugin? If you didn't know that, it's understandable, because this plugin is not installed by default. If you are using Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, enabling this functionality is rather straightforward. First of all, use the Synaptic package manager to find and install the tomboy-blogposter package (or run the sudo apt-get install tomboy-blogposter command).
In Tomboy, open the Preferences dialog window and switch to the Add-ins section. Select the Post note to your blog item in the Tools section and press the Enable button. Press then the Preferences button to open the configuration dialog, and press Add to create a new account. In the Account Information window, fill out the required fields and press Close. Tick the Create posts as drafts check box if you want to post notes as drafts. This can come in handy if you prefer to tweak the posts further (e.g., use formatting features not available in Tomboy) before you publish them. Close the Preferences window and you are ready to go. Next time you want to publish a note to your blog, press the Tools button in the note's main toolbar and choose the Post note to your blog command. That's all there is to it.
ThirdWhat those two guys said. Downloaded source, attempting to build. build error on gtk-sharp (installed). Oh joy o;\
Re: E: Couldn't find package tomboy-blogposterThe tomboy-blogposter package is available only in the Jaunty repositories. You can, however, install the plugin manually as described on the project's Web site: http://flukkost.nu/blog/tomboyblogposter/
E: Couldn't find package tomboy-blogposterGot that error when using apt-get. A search in Synaptic yielded no results. Is this only available for Ubuntu 9.04? I'm using 8.10. Is there a specific repository that must be accessed? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks.

Marathon Apartment Rental Photos and Description
Apartment, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-4)
Conch Key- An old-fashioned lobster and crab fishing village that can only accommodate a few lucky tourists who want great fishing and diving and a complete rest! You can often pick up fresh seafood from the local fishermen.
Conch Key Landing (CKL) is our family's unpretentious waterfront winter home which we invite you to share. It is completely equipped and spotlessly clean. We provide everything you need for a great vacation. CKL is directly on Florida Bay. A five minute boat ride from our protected dockage will take you under the US1 bridge to the oceanside flats, the reefs and the Gulfstream. Superb sunsets, bird and fish viewing. Lie in a hammock or relax in our comfortable deck chairs under the palms and let the world go by.
Our friendly, knowledgeable, property managers, live only two doors away. They are most happy to provide you with information about the Keys and to ensure that CKL remains in top condition so that you will have a pleasurable stay.
We have other units available. Please contact us for more information
Keywords: waterfront house with 1 bedroom upstairs
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets considered
About The Owner
We are a Canadian family, originally 6, now a family of 14 (and two dogs) who have been coming to the Keys for 25 years. Fifteen years ago, we discovered Conch Key and fell in love with it.
The Owner purchased this apartment in 2008
Why The Owner chose Marathon
In 2008 'Conch Key Landing' (not the name at that time) came up for sale and we decided it would be an ideal place for our expanding family`s vacations, 'a home away from home'. We have enough accommodations on the property to house 10-12 people - perfect for a family reunion! We visit several times a year and have found that each season has its own appeal. We invite you to try some of the less busy times and become a member of the growing Conch Key Landing `club`.
During our times on Conch Key we have had great fishing - Bay and Ocean, super snorkeling, kayaking out to the sandy reefs at low tide, swimming in the warm water.We have often seen schools of dolphin passing by. On occasion manatees visit. From the dock you are able to observe tarpon at night and in the daytime - parrot fish, barracuda, many small tropical fish and once even a sawfish! Herons, egrets and pelicans often come to call.
What makes this apartment unique
The apartment has central air conditioning and heat. It has a fully equipped kitchen with a ceramic stove, refrigerator with icemaker, pots and pans, baking trays, cooking utensils, salad bowls,dishes and cutlery.
It has separate dining and living room areas. The dining room has patio doors opening out to the front balcony.
The master bedroom has a king-sized bed, night tables, a full dresser,mirror and clothes closet.
The apartment has an upper deck with a Tiki roof over a picnic table and gas BBQ. The front balcony has a small table and chairs and is a favorite place for guests to gather with a glass of wine to watch the sunset or the stars. It also overlooks the dock , boatslips and a waterside deck on which there are comfortable deck chairs and a hammock under the palms.(see photo) This is a great place to relax with a book.
There is a swim ladder at the end of one pier and steps into the water in one of the boat slips.
You may use the washer and dryer and a pressure washer and tools found in the breezeway.
View: Waterfront directly on Florida Bay, facing west, protected from the cool north winds. Spectacular sunsets - rivaling those at Key West . The elusive 'green flash' has been seen on several occasions. You may be lucky! (Our son-in-law sailed around the world and never saw one until he came to CKL.)
Activities on site and nearby:
Fishing from boats, bridges or from the dock. Charter fishing from Conch Key or Marathon, snorkeling or scuba diving from Looye Key, bicycling over the bridges or on the bicycle paths. Marine life and bird viewing. Jetski rentals nearby. Close to the Dolphin Research Centre (swim with the dolphins), Theater of the Sea (Islamorada). Four nearby beaches (although the Keys are not renowned for this) - Anne's,Curry Hammock Park, Coco Plum and Sombrero. Drive over the famous Seven Mile Bridge to beautiful Bahia Honda State Park. And then, of course, spend a day at Key West.

FBI releases images of suspects in Boston Marathon bombing
2013 04 18
Signs of the Times
FBI has released images of the suspected bombers in the investigation of the explosions near the Boston Marathon finish line, April 18, 2013, in Boston.
The FBI today released images of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing the bureau still considers to be "armed and extremely dangerous."
At a press conference, FBI special agent in charge Richard DesLauriers referred to the two men as Suspect 1 and Suspect 2 and said Suspect 2 was spotted dropping a bag before a bomb exploded at the second bomb site. The two men appear to be "associated," DesLauriers said.
DesLauriers asked the public for their help identifying the suspects, but asked the public not to approach them. Though the men are considered armed and dangerous, the FBI said they still do not believe there is an imminent danger in the area.
Three people were killed and more than 170 wounded in dual blasts near the finish line of the Boston Marathon Monday. No group, foreign or domestic, has claimed responsibility.

New York Times: Wal-Mart Heavies Up on Talent in Retail Battle with Amazon
Wal-Mart is making big moves online with its eyes on the No. 1 retailer, Amazon.com.
The New York Times today takes another look at the growing arms race between Amazon.com and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. of Bentonville, as the latter continues to heavy up in a battle for retail supremecy in both the physical and online worlds.
We've called attention to Wal-Mart's efforts in this space before -- see Mark Friedman's excellent stories on Wal-Mart's expanding portfolio of social media companies from 2012 and how the retailer is working on building a better online store from May.
In light of Friedman's work, the Times story covers some familiar ground. But the bigger hook is interesting: how Wal-Mart is opening office space in the heart of Silicon Valley to compete with other valley firms for the top talent in tech:
The company has had a small presence near Silicon Valley for more than a decade, but until recently, engineers in the area barely knew it existed. It signed a lease three years ago for the San Bruno office, north of the valley — and across the street from YouTube — and is opening another this fall in Sunnyvale, home of Yahoo, in the heart of the valley. It is trying hard to prove it is one of the cool kids.
For example, at press events in Bentonville, Ark., Walmart's headquarters, the menu tends to be ham sandwiches, chips and iced tea. At a recent event in San Bruno, it was white asparagus panna cotta with house-smoked salmon tartar, morel mushroom macaroons and charcuterie from a whole pig. Borrowing a page from Google and Twitter, the company offers hack days when engineers can work on whatever they want.
Walmart has hundreds of open jobs at its office here. This summer, the company hired 150 people from companies like Yahoo and eBay.
But it's not only the fancy lunches that Wal-Mart is using to attract talent. The biggest draw might be the massive amounts of "big data" the company is amassing on a second-by-second basis. Getting to work with that kind intelligence to help the retailer better understand and market to customers could prove irresistable to some young innovators.
And speaking of innovation, Wal-Mart is showing with its new online initiatives that it isn't afraid to experiment. In addition to programs like "Get on the Shelf," it's trying same-day delivery, grocery delivery and even subscription programs like Goodies.co, which is announced in November 2012. But that service, according to technology and venture capital news site TechCrunch, is likely ending over the next few weeks.
