Remarks to the World Congress of Accountants
byJames D. WolfensohnPresidentThe World Bank GroupParis, October 26, 1997(Mr. Wolfensohn participated by live teleconference from Washington, D.C.)
Let me first congratulate the organizers of this magnificent event. The World Congress has made enormous strides. I doubt very much whether the founding fathers meeting in Missouri in 1904 would have imagined that almost a century later they would be discussing "Partnerships between the public and the private sectors in emerging markets" or "The Accountant's Role in environmental and sustainable development." Your agenda today is a tribute to your continued development as a profession.
Let me offer you some thoughts from my own perspective as a development banker, on how accountants can best serve the public interest, the title you have set yourselves for this Congress, and one that is central to my daily preoccupations.
Today we sit in Paris and in Washington. But the 4.7 billion people who are my clients live in a different world. Three billion live under 2 dollars a day; one billion three hundred million live on under 1 dollar a day; one hundred million go hungry every day; 150 million never even get the chance to go to school.
These aren't numbers at the margin; nor are they numbers which for much longer can be pigeon-holed into boxes labeled overseas aid or development policy and then promptly forgotten. We can sit comfortably in Paris or in Washington and ignore them. But our children cannot.
There are not 2 worlds, Mr. President, there is one world. We breathe the same air. We degrade the same environment. We share the same international financial system. We have the same health problems. AIDS does not stop at borders. Crime does not stop at borders. Drugs no not stop at borders. Terrorism, war and famine do not stop at borders. Money does not stop at borders, and neither do accountants.
And economics is fundamentally changing the relationships between rich and poor nations. Today the developing world accounts for 18% of global GDP. By 2020 that may be 30%. Today China, India, Indonesia, Brazil and Russia - the emerging Big 5 - account for 50% of the world's population but their share of world trade is only a quarter that of the European Union's. By 2020, their share in world trade could be 50% more than Europe's.
Today we think of London, Paris and New York as the major centers. But by 2020 we will be thinking of Jakarta and Beijing, and we will be thinking of Sao Paulo and Mumbai, because these will be the major cities.
What does this mean for 4,000 accountants and auditors gathered in Paris?
First and foremost it means that a key part of your clientele - far more so even than today - will be in developing and transition economies. The emergence of the Big 5 economies will not only redraw the economic map of the world as we know it. It will have knock-on social and political effects throughout the developing world and beyond.
But it means something more.
Over the last 15 years, we have seen freedom blossom and with it an expanded role for civil society. Today 2 in 3 countries use elections to choose their national leadership.
We have seen a dramatic expansion of the market economy. Today 5 billion people live in a market system - up from 1 billion a decade ago. We have seen some extraordinary success stories in East Asia, and parts of Latin America.
But we have also seen something else:
We have seen that lack of institutional capacity, poor governance, and public sector management remain major impediments to growth and development. Often in those very countries which for the first time are experiencing political and economic reform and where reforms are at their most fragile. We have seen rampant corruption, by some economic estimates at the cost to countries of half a percentage point of GDP growth per year. And most recently in South East Asia we have seen that lack of disclosure and the free flow of information, are key ingredients in financial crises. That the miracle, was perhaps not quite so miraculous after all.
What does this have to do with auditors and accountants?
The single element which unites these issues is transparency. We know that corruption and financial crises flourish in the dark. We know that lack of transparency imperils effective governance. We know that social consensus is built on information. And we are beginning to gather evidence that voice is a crucial aspect of sustainable economic reform.
Irrespective of political systems, public decisions must be brought right out into the sunshine of public scrutiny. This is not a luxury: The icing to be added once countries have reached a certain point of development. This is not a political issue "off limits" to those of us who deal with economics. This is a fundamental prerequisite for maximizing growth and poverty reduction. And it needs to be regarded as such.
Take corruption. Eighteen months ago I couldn't talk about corruption. Eighteen months ago I was told that corruption was a political not an economic issue. Since that time we have come a long, long way. Last year in my annual meetings speech, I spoke of the cancer of corruption - the first time a World Bank president had mentioned the word. This year in Hong Kong, corruption was a central issue. Why? Because we know that corruption is detrimental to development.
My bottom line on corruption is simple. Corruption impedes growth and investment and penalizes the poor. If a government is unwilling to take action despite the fact that the country's development objectives are undermined by corruption, then the Bank Group must curtail its level of support to that country. We have already done so in the case of one country. And I have no doubt that we will do so again in the case of others.
We are also working with a first half dozen countries on anti-corruption strategies, holding anti-corruption seminars and workshops for parliamentarians and journalists; making sure that our own processes meet the highest standards of transparency and propriety and pushing ahead with deregulation, institutional and policy reform.
But it is not enough to focus only on the corruptees. We also need to focus on the corruptors - however painful and close to home it may be for some of us. It takes two to corrupt. They are the corruptors and there are the corruptees. A tax-break for bribes in an OECD country is a tax hike for the poor of the developing world. And yet, to date, such penalties as exist are directed almost exclusively at the bribees not the bribers.
We must all strongly support the OECD's efforts to end the tax deductibility of bribes and criminalize the bribing of foreign officials.
But you also have a critical role to play. You are the custodians of probity. You are the ones who are signing off on public accounts. You have a moral and an ethical responsibility to serve the public interest. It's the title of this Congress.
And in many cases you are. But take money laundering. Where is the accountancy profession? If you are not there voluntarily, ultimately you'll be pushed by legislators into being there. Wouldn't it be far better to take the first step yourselves and begin to build up a compliance mechanism for ethical standards?
Governments must also take action. Institutionalized accountability mechanisms are a central part of the fight against corruption. We need independent offices of Auditors-General for public sector auditing as well as for the private sector. We need to agree on common global accounting and auditing principles and standards and we need to extend them throughout the developed and the developing world. We need disclosure and we need open government. All these are crucial.
But they are crucial not only in the fight against corruption or for greater financial stability. They are crucial because they lie at the heart of successful development.
If education and investment are the essential building blocks of development. Good governance, and within that I include open government, is the lifeblood.
In country after country we see that the institutional foundations - government capacity, an effective and agile public sector, a responsive and clean bureaucracy - are critical to progress. And yet in country after country we know that if private businesses ran their operations and their finances, in the way that the public sector does, they would flounder. And no one would be surprised.
We at the Bank can and are working to improve accounting and auditing capacity building - in Ghana, Zambia, China, Pakistan and Indonesia among others. Last year we had a landmark meeting in Washington with the Big 6 accounting firms. As a result of those discussions and other developments we are now strengthening our approaches toward improved financial management with our borrowers, which we can only do by recruiting more financial management specialists with professional accounting qualifications.
But you also have to play your part:
Push the agenda for international harmonization of accounting standards to meet the needs of the global marketplace. In a world that is growing more and more like a single economic household, it makes no sense to be speaking in different voices. We urgently need a unified global language of business.
And work with your colleagues in the developing countries. IFAC and IASC have about 90 countries in their membership ... and yes... they cover a significant proportion of world GDP. But there are at least 90 more countries who are members of the World Bank and the IMF who probably don't have what it takes to develop their own professional accountancy bodies. Reach out and help them develop such bodies, as well as appropriate regulatory financial frameworks and accounting standards boards.
But, Mr. President we also need something more.
I have now visited over 60 countries. And one of the most profound impressions I have from those visits is of nascent enterprise. Small businesses that are taking root amid urban slums and rural villages. People who for the first time in their lives have a sense of hope and independence.
The woman entrepreneur in Katwe, Uganda, converting banana peels into charcoal briquettes and showing me her pencil-written records with all the pride of the head of Societe General. Women in India setting up microenterprises with small loans of less than $100, showing me passbooks with their expenditures and their receipts. The father in La Paz, borrowing to raise a small herd of milk cows on the outskirts of the city, and for the first time in his life beginning to do accounts.
These people need your help. These people have a real and pressing need to understand business practice, double entry book-keeping, simple computation. I have looked through the 862 pages of the IFAC Handbook on Technical pronouncements. It is a very impressive volume. Covering almost everything from ethics, to quality control, from education to management accounting. The only thing I missed was any reference to civic responsibility or indeed to corruption.
Many of you here come from firms that already have the networks, and branches and representatives in developing and transition economies. You are already out there. But you must be out there with something other than drumming up immediate business. You must be out there thinking in terms of what we you can give back; thinking in terms of creating a better world. And for those who prefer to think in terms of self-interest - yes, thinking about creating the clients of the future.
Encourage your people to do pro bono work with communities on basic accountancy skills. And reward them for doing it. Set up service awards. Create incentives. Donate your redundant computers and technology. Add a section to your handbook about civic responsibility.
It should become part of all our business lives. Staffs in many of your organizations are already doing this because of their personal concern. Your organizations are already doing a good deal of charity work in a number of different areas. But what are your firms doing individually and collectively to pass on basic business and accountancy skills?
Mr. President, multilateral, bilateral and international organizations can do much to stimulate growth and poverty reduction and help create the kind of enabling environment to attract private capital. Governments can do much to throw open their doors to public scrutiny. To reform their public administrations. To create independent auditor generals and to invest in their people. Civil society can do much to use voice to combat corruption and to monitor transparency.
But the role of the private sector is crucial. Not just in transferring private capital to developing countries or record amounts of FDI. But in helping to provide the skills and technology to those 3 billion people who live on less than $2 a day to help them help themselves and take that crucial first step towards entrepreneurship.
Mr. President, we need to create a private sector peace corps. We could start here today, simply by having half a dozen service awards to recognize civic contributions in each one of the larger accounting firms - especially the Big 4, 5, or 6.
Let me conclude by quoting the very first sentence of your handbook. "A distinguishing mark of a profession", it says, " is acceptance of its responsibility to the public."
We surely have enough environmental, financial and economic evidence of the interlinkages between the developing and the industrialized worlds to convince us that whether we talk about auditing or accountancy standards, professional ethics, or civic responsibility, in the world of 1997 that "public" is international.
For more than 90 years you have proved your ability to keep the profession relevant. I am confident that in pioneering civic responsibility, in agreeing on international standards for auditing and accounting practices and in taking the first steps towards creating compliance mechanisms for ethical standards, you could enjoy 90 more.
Thank You

Pros and cons of short sales.
Pro: Getting the property for less than what it would cost for the owner to reinstate the mortgage can be a windfall for the buyer. Con: Short sales can require more work on the part of the buyer who must also qualify for the transaction -- and often be able to pay entirely in cash.
Did you know?
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will accept 85 to 90 percent of the fair market values in a short sale, and HUD will accept as low as 82 percent.To make a case for the short sale, the buyer needs to compile paperwork to prove to the lender that the homeowner qualifies for a short sale payoff. While a first mortgage will be satisfied in a short sale, buyers also need to consider any secondary liens against the property. Lenders will more seriously consider short sale offers that are entirely in cash, with a 30-day-or-shorter closing and no contingencies. The seller or property owner cannot profit from a short sale.
What goes in a short sale packet?
Since the average layperson is not familiar with the many nuances and legalities of most real estate transactions, including short sales, working with a Realtor or Lawyer who specializes in this area can save prospective buyers a lot of aggravation, time and money. i advise that you seek professional help in the Short Sale process.
Example of a short sale.
A homeowner, who is facing foreclosure, has an existing first mortgage of $300,000. You write an offer to the lender for $220,000, which is accepted as full payment for the loan."

Italian in Las Vegas?
As I was searching for Italian suggestions for Las Vegas, I came across a post titled "Best 5 Italian restaurant in Las Vegas" but for some reason it has been removed. So what are the good Italian restaurants in Vegas?
re: trilby
I do too. Yes, it's not traditional Italian, but it was one of those places where everything I ate made me go 'mmmmmmm.' Gorgeous ambience, too. Prices were very reasonable for high end dining, with appetizers(me and my wife split one), split pasta(among four), entrees, wine, and French press coffee, we paid $115 minus tip. I've paid more for lesser food. My wife, who usually doesn't like 'fancy' loved Fiamma and talks of going back there. She doesn't talk about going back to Nobhill, the former Aqua, Delmonico, or Prime.
re: trilby
SO and I ate at Fiamma last weekend and it was *horrible*. By far the most disappointing meal I've ever had in Vegas. The decor is strange, the service is horrible - very odd, but I think they had only one waiter for our entire room (12+ tables) but they had about 20 busboys, runners, etc. and 3 manager types (in suits) helping to serve. It was totally disjointed. SO had their $45 3 course menu - grilled scallops (waaaayyy too much char) and spinach app, gnocci with lobster and truffle sauce (good, but gnocchi overcooked) and the tiramisu (we had them box it up and never ate it). I had a spinach and shrimp salad (overdressed, but the shrimp were nice) and the spaghetti with kobe meatballs. I had to send my pasta back (noodles were way undercooked). It took 20 mins to get my food back and by then my SO had finished his meal. The sauce was horrible and the meatballs were eh. The meal was about $120, and even for half of that I would have felt ripped off. It was horrible. Stay away.
I don't think that this is a great Italian restaurant city (compared to how good some of the restaurants here that specialize in other types of cuisine are). I have two old favorites, neither of which are spectacular but both enjoyable and dependable - Bootlegger Bistro on Las Vegas Boulevard South (near Blue Diamond and the outlet mall), and Casa Di Amore, which is on E. Tropicana near McLeod (a few blocks east of Eastern).

re: dhedges53
You really have to take the place for what it is. It's a mom & pop type of place, the service is spotty at times, and the place itself looks like a dive bar of sorts.
I would say that the "carbonara" was probably pretty good but I have a feeling that you didn't care for it. There food, for the most part, is pretty tasty.
I went to Bartolo di Mare last year. It is located at the Wynn hotel. We got lucky and scored a private gazebo outside on the water. Truly one of the most memorable meals of my life with seafood that i would only come to inspect when in Italy.
re: montreal traveller
I'll second Canaletto. Lovely setting, not too over-priced, very good service and the food is great. Not a lot of people talk about it here but I think it is deserving of consideration.
I can steer you from one place - do not under any circumstances let yourself be talked into the less expensive section of Valentino in the Venetian. I don't know about the more upscale side of it, but the moderate cafe (?) was really mediocre and I'm being kind.
re: sivyaleah
I've been wanting to try Canaletto-I keep saying I'm going to go to one of those 'outdoor' places at the Venetian, but never get around to it.
re: sivyaleah
Canaletto is part of the Il Fornaio chain...always a good and consistent choice in our area.
re: montreal traveller
Did you sit at the 'outdoor' seating or the more formal dining room at Postrio?
I will third Canaletto...
I also love Panevino on Sunset just east of the strip!
Wonderful food and ambiance
The Malfatti ai Funghi is to die for!
re: friedmush
Actually, Valentino's has been voted top Italian by some LV newspapers a few times and for the life of me - and many Chowhounds, I can't figure out why. I think the reason you don't read about it here much is because it in fact isn't very good. Popularity has nothing to do with quality.
re: sivyaleah
One thing that you can usually go by is if the place is hard to get a reservation for.
Ventano's in Henderson is very good, and has a terrific view to boot. Especially good seafood, and reasonable prices for what you get. Great cioppino. Their specialty, "shrimp on stone," sure smelled good as orders went by. Fine oysters on the half shell--fat and tasty. Tomato sauces were fresh and fine, not overpowering.
Speidini at the J W Marriot Resort gets good comments but is seldom mentioned here. I'd be curious to hear more about it myself if anyone has been.
re: johnb
the shrimp on stone is addicting !! i've been there at least 3 times but i rarely mention it since most want a strip location, or at least close to the strip - i enjoyed nora's - sorry to hear that some have not enjoyed it....i did not care for capo's on trop, i have bootlegger on "my list"
re: johnb
We live very near Speidini in Summerlin and I took some visiting family members there. Without doubt it was the worst dining experience of my life, and as an international business consultant in The US, Europe and Spouth America, I've had some bad ones. We are patient people but the reservation was not honored, the hostess was rude and indifferent, the waiter was slow and negletful and the food could be understatedly described as "inedible." There were six of us and we sent two appitizers and three main courses back as not fit for human consumption. My monk fish was obviously taken from the inedible head and then shown the fire but not subjected to cooking and when my complaint about it resulted in a change to calamari, the calamari was little more than a stack of burned breading. The price was somewhat high considering the general quality of the place but you know what they say, "The poor quality of the food and the bad service is made up for by the high price." Anyone who goes to Speidini and knows anything about it will get what he asked for. Avoid this place.
re: raleighchow
Actually it is in the 7000 South Las Vegas Blvd near the outlet mall.
Lorraine Hunt, the LT. Gov. of Nevada, own and operate the restaurant which is a taste of "old Las vegas."
I'll third Ventano! The shrimp on the stone is great...I've had it many times.
La Scala on Desert Inn has always been wonderful, too. Relatively close to the Strip, too.
Have fun!
My (Sicilian-American) husband and I just had an amazing meal at Circo at the Bellagio. Most of the Italian places we've eaten were decent but this was impressive! The soups were outstanding. The lobster ravioli were incredible. Interesting people watching.
We also really enjoyed Nora's.
If you have a car, and can drive..Try Cappazolli's. They are open till 3am every night! Best local Italian place i've been to, very homey and tasty. Prices are on scale with Macaroni Grill, but much, MUCH better.
They are on Desert Inn, and Maryland Parkway. Across from the Boulavard Mall. Bootlegger is my 2nd fave choice for Italian, but they are a pain to drive to. Good food there, as well
re: Honeychan
I'll definately try Cappazolli's when I'm in town next time, just moved to Salt Lake City, but still work in LV on occasion.
re: Honeychan
I Love Cappazolli's!!!! Was most modest in price but long on flavor. Not at all refined but the food is great. One of the most memorable meals (NOT SAYING BEST, but memorable!) I have had in Vegas. When we went we just told the chef (I think his name was Mick, go figure!!!) what we liked and he cooked a feast for us. So love this place!
re: LVI
Because we have so many Italian options in Las Vegas many times it comes down to which particular dish you have a craving for on a given night. And the Pork Chops with Vinegar Peppers at Cappozolli's is one of those dishes (also one that is hard to find anywhere else). But for the overall flair Fellini's on West Charleston combines food and ambience (old school) at a high level.
re: QAW
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but...
Montesano's is great, if you want the basic stuff, like lasagna and pizza. Also, Ferraro's on Flamingo is pretty good.
Try Rao's in Caesar's Palace. It compares favorably with Fiamma and has a great "old school" feel. The host, Bubbles, is a classic! Food is wonderful east coast Italian.
Pierrro's on Convention Center is one of my faves. Don't know if you'd call it classic Italian, but the Osso Buco is incredible! Bring your wallet, it's pricey, but worth it.
Tried Nora's after seeing it on the Hungry Detective. Hope he's better at his day job than picking restaurants. I won't go back but lots of folks seem to love it. Have eaten several times at Rao's and have been real happy with food and service. Pastas have been excellent and the Shrimp Scampi is outstanding. A few plates of meatballs for the table are gone in seconds. Must have reservations to get in - - always booked.
Fellini's at the Stratosphere. Had a bad experience at the other location, but we always get great food and service at this one.
I am a big time fan of Italian food and we had a really nice, reasonably priced dinner at The Grotto in the Golden Nugget. Everything was well prepared and the service was excellent.
Has anyone tried Gaetano's in Henderson? I think they have the best clams and linguine I have ever had. Pasta is cooked perfectly - al dente. The ravioli is homemade. Never had a bad meal or experience here.
Circo at the Bellagio was memorable because of the dessert!
Amazing Zeppoles with chocolate dipping sauce - Oh My! A Must!
Instant Happiness.
re: HoosierFoodie
I agree primarily due to the service.
On the other hand...our experience at CarneVino (another Batali outpost) was outstanding.
Since this thread is being reopened I believe that people have to give serious attention to Sinatra in Encore. Lovely restaurant with excellent food. Not the red sauce old world Italian but more refined "new world" approach without losing its old world roots. I really loved this restaurant (except for the total loser bartender who was more concerned about how he was going to sneak his next "rush" as opposed to pouring customers next drink!). From front to back I found this restaurant to be excellent and IMHO, top of the heap.

Tivoli Audio has announced another nice looking Bluetooth speaker. However, this time you won't have to bring people into your home to ogle that retro goodness. The new Three Music System is made to travel.
The Three Music System is Tivoli's first portable system with Bluetooth, which means you'll be able to pair it with a smartphone, tablet or computer. Once you connect it with something, the Music System Three will remember those devices—up to eight of them, actually.
Inside, the Music System Three has two 3-inch long-throw drivers, as well as wide, stereo and mono modes with adjustable bass, treble and balance.
Weighing in at less than four pounds, the Music System Three is easy enough to take to the beach, the backyard or the barbecue. It even has an integrated carry handle that doubles as a storage spot for the included remote control.
The Music System Three does need batteries, but Tivoli has been kind enough to ship the product with rechargeable Lithium ones and a built-in battery charger. According to the company, 12 hours of charging time will get you about 20 hours of playback.
Other features include AM/FM radio with five station presets, an external telescopic FM antenna, a clock with alarm and snooze options, dual rear bass ports, and an auxiliary port.
"The portable radios from Tivoli Audio have always been popular with our customers, beginning with the PAL radio," says Tivoli Audio CEO, Founder and Designer Tom DeVesto. "Now we have expanded on that theme and introduced our first portable stereo system in the Music System Three."
Tivoli plans to ship the Music System Three sometime in late summer, with an MSRP of $299. Available in black or white, the company will also have optional real wood veneer cabinets in walnut, cherry and black ash. (The European market will also get a DAB version.) If you're planning to take the system outside, those cabinets are removable—and sold separately for $100 each.

I dated a girl for a long time, and have been broken up for several years. Since we've broken up, I've put on about 20 pounds of lean muscle (I have a naturally skinny frame, so it really shows). Out of the blue, I ran into her at a bar, and she's with her new (skinny, lanky) boyfriend. Whenever I used to run into her around town, she treated me like a retarded leper that also had the plague. However, this time I was wearing a tighter shirt, and she took notice. She made her way over to me, and within literally 30 secondsa, she said "Yeah, my boyfriend lives in [a different major city], you should definitely call me so we can get together, we haven't hung out in forever".
Are you kidding me? In front of your new boyfriend, you're going up to your more muscular ex (whom you used to go out of your way to avoid) and saying you want to hang out with him? I'm never going hang out with her, but damn it made me feel good. Anyone else had any similar ex girlfriend experiences that made them feel sweet about the fact that they lift, and awesome motivation to keep lifting?

In 2007, Girl Friday Productions staged a performance of Thornton Wilder's Our Town that managed to erase the apprehension that the work was eternally destined for middling, amateur treatment: With an ace local cast, it located haunting transcendence and immediacy, and put keisters in the seats, to boot. Now Girl Friday returns with the weird The Skin of Our Teeth, boasting another impressive cast to tackle the story of an American family that drifts through the perilous tides and various calamities of human history. After an ice age, war, and a great flood, the Antrobus family perseveres in its delicate fashion, as we all do, looking to glean a grain of truth or two from the experience.
Thursdays-Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Sundays, 2 p.m. Starts: July 2. Continues through July 25, 2009

He earned his PhD in 2009 from the University of California, Irvine. His dissertation investigated how the perceived and actual environmental quality within California State Beaches altered the visitor experience.
At Washington University, Aaron's research, teaching, and service are grounded in the theories and scholarship of social ecology, environmental health, and social work and the inherent transdiscipline investigation of people-in-environment. His novel interests and approach lie with how place, specifically public built environments, affect people-environment interaction. His research asks how public built environments (parks, communities, streets) assist in the promotion and/or constraint of healthy community behaviors and health outcomes.
Aaron is currently the faculty advisor of the Environmental Justice Initiative, as well as on the Student Sustainability Fund committee. He serves on the Alliance for Biking and Waking Open Streets Project Steering Committee, co-chairs the Nature and Ecology Network in the Environmental Design Research Association, and is on the board of Perennial, a St. Louis social enterprise that works with diverse populations to creatively reuse and repurpose furnishings and eco-friendly goods.

About Sandra Chavez
My dad lived here at the Kona Reef since 1988. My dad and I wanted to rent out this condo that he called home for 24 years. He loved living here and after you spend one night here you will fall in love with the sounds of the waves. We just remodeled it and unfortunately my dad never got to see how beautiful it is because he came home with me and passed away April 2012. I live in Northern California and I have visited only once since and it was so nice to enjoy the remodeled features. It feels comfortable and luxurious. We replaced the mattress in July and reupholstered the bar chairs and customized the dining room chairs so they were more comfortable. It is my goal to continue to find touches that will make your stay even more enjoyable.
Sandra Chavez purchased this condo in 1988
Why Sandra Chavez chose Kailua Kona
If comfort is important to you then this is the condo for you. Location is awesome because you can walk along Alii Drive to the historic Kailua Village, listen to the music & waves and feel and see the ocean as you walk. It is emotional to me every time I watch the sunset to think I get to watch the beautiful sunset everyday here and it never gets old. It is a real treat when you see a turtle, dolphin or whale. No need to pay someone to see them because you are where they call home.
What makes this condo unique
I think what makes our unit stand out among the other units at The Kona Reef, is the large lanai and i like to take the air bed out on the lanai and sleep listening to the waves. Also you have full ocean view and can see the pool and when my dad would sit out on the lanai and I was down at the pool or BBQ we could see one another which is nice if you have children or teens. Lastly, the new amenities because I like to be in a updated condo.

A simple (though not foolproof) way of checking if a file is needed or used is to rename it. I put "XX" infront of the file in question, e.g. rename 'msfile01′ to 'XXmsfile01′. If after a few days or weeks of using your computer there have been no problems it might indicate that the file is not being used and could be deleted. If there are problems simply remove the 'XX' and your files are back as they were.
Do I need these Microsoft Visual C++ redistributables?
Assorted redistributables and shared libraries are often installed on your PC by programs that need them. Removing them, while tempting, is fairly risky.
I have an Acer Aspire One D255 laptop and it runs Windows XP. I'm wondering if I need all of these Microsoft programs on here, like Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 redistributable or Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable. It's taking up space on my hard drive and I'm wondering if those programs are really necessary. Then, I was also wondering if I need all of these Windows Live programs on here, like Windows Live Essentials or Windows Live Sync.
Time for my most common, and yet most annoying answer….
It depends.
I'll describe what the Visual C++ redistributables are all about and why the safest thing to do is probably to leave them alone. As for Windows Live … well, that one's up to you.
Visual C++ Redistributables
When companies write software using Microsoft Visual C++, they make use of a number of what are called "standard libraries". Those are collections of pre-written software provided by Visual C++ for programmers to use. That way, they don't have to write what are often very common sequences of code. Instead, they can use these libraries of software that are pre-written and very thoroughly tested by either years of use or Microsoft's own testing efforts.
The libraries are packaged in such a way that several programs which use the same library can share one copy of the library. So, if you have five programs that use the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 redistributable, there only needs to be one copy of it on your computer.
Libraries like this are not guaranteed to be on the machine to begin with so companies are allowed to "redistribute" the libraries (hence, the name). If the library is not already on your machine when you install the software that needs it, that software's setup program can install them as well.
Naturally, there is more than one version and apparently the newer one does not automatically replace the older one. Much like the .NET Framework, you can end up with more than one version on your machine.
Do you need them?
I have no idea if you need them. I have no idea if you need just one or both.
In this case, it depends on the software on your machine. If the software that you've installed on your machine needs them … well, then you need them. If it doesn't, then you might not.
But given that they only appear on your machine if software that uses them is present1, I would expect that you probably do need them. Both.
And leaving them in place is by far the safest thing to do.
Windows Live
This time, it depends on you.
Windows Live Essentials is a kind of shared library – not unlike the Visual C++ redistributable – that is used by the various Windows Live programs that you might install on your machine. So, if you use Windows Live Mail or Windows Live Messenger, then Windows Live Essentials is required.
On the other hand, if you never use any Windows Live software, you might be able to do without. Using Windows Live Hotmail via the web only, for example, doesn't install or require any Windows Live software on your machine.
And if something stops working, Windows Live Essentials are a quick and easy download.
Is it worth it?
My question to you is this: is it worth the time and risk to consider removing these things?
My experience is that they won't give you back nearly as much disk space as you might be expecting.
If you're in a true disk-space crunch, I'd approach the problem by seeing what's using the most space and attacking it from that angle. You'll get a lot more space more quickly if you approach it by looking for the biggest space hogs first.
If you're not running low on disk space, I wouldn't spend any more time on it. If these items aren't being used, they're not using any system resources other than disk space.
Not to mention that there's always a risk of breaking something when removing components like these that are designed to be shared. There's simply no way to ensure that there are no programs that might need 'em still on your machine.

A few years ago when I was clueless about computers I decided to clean things up. Took my friendly geek hours to fix things up. Nowadays it's smarter just to get a bigger hard drive and you are set up for a long, long time.
If it's not broken don't fix it.
Michael Horowitz
I have been burned by removing the Visual C++ Redistributables along with other "crapware" on a new Windows computer. It turns out it was needed by two different CD/DVD burning programs. There was NO warning when the software was removed that it was needed by another application. Each application failed to startup with an initialization error that was totally useless in terms of pinpointing the problem.
I like the previous idea of renaming the folder where the software you are considering resides. After a while, if this doesn't break anything, then rename the folder back and uninstall the software normally. BUT, in my case, this would not have helped as I very rarely use the software that broke.
So let me get this straight:
USUALLY, if it's on my machine, it's because there is software that needs it. As opposed to crap that MS places on my machine simply because I MIGHT have need of it someday in the future?
I can live with that. I've got plenty of hard drive space. My only issue is putting up with stuff that someone else thinks I might need, when I don't. (I use Revo Uninstaller to remove unnecessary remnants from a de-installation.)
I deleted that visualc++ and had to reinstall windows xp cuz it totally wrecked my pc.
Bruce Adams
I have been having problems with HotMail. Slow, cursor misbehaves, and lots of connection problems. Last night I removed all the Windows Live aps and installed Chrome. Now HotMail is much more responsive and the connection issues have vanished. It was not a disk space issue. It was a performance issue. Maybe other readers have had the same experience with the Windows Live programs.
I don't actively use it, but I had issues with a Visual C++ Redistributable update wanting to install over and over and over. I e-mailed MS and got free (!!!) advice about what to do.
And, I was advised NOT to uninstall any versions I found lurking about as my system could go kerflunk depending on various bullstuff.

For me, this is a strong argument for reinstalling windows every six to twelve months. It resets all your installed software so you can start again and be sure only the parts you (or windows) need are installed.
Might sound like a lot of work, but with either two drives (or a partitioned drive) you can keep data on one drive and windows and applications on another. Makes reformatting nothing more than an evening's work.
Thank you for the article describing what the C++ Redistributables do. I have some knowledge of C++ programming but not a lot and I was confused why anything needed updating since C++ programs are compiled to CPU instructions, but now I understand.
Anyone worried about running out of disk space should get more disk space, rather than risk deleting something 'mysterious' (to them) but vital. External hard drives are large, cheap, readily available and easy to install and use. Just go to your nearest computer store, spend some money, and plug it inTo be fair, I do hear from many readers who don't have the money, even for what some would consider an inexpensive hard disk upgrade.
Mark J
What you are saying is true, except for hard drives being cheap. The price went up to double or more due to the flooding in Thailand, and many people may need a temporary solution until the prices come down in a few to several months from now.
I understand more about Microsoft Visual C++ redistributables & the fact I need to keep them but why the need for both 86x & 64x versions of each update. I'm running a 64 bit operating system (if that matters)
Mark J
A 64 bit computer is capable of running both 64 bit and 32 bit (x86) applications. Therefore you need the distributables for both.
