When the cold winter makes you dream of digging your toes in the sand, it's time to get surfing on VacationRentals.com. Here you will find enticing oceanfront rentals at Navarre Beach in northern Florida, where you can spend your days soaking up the sun with the ocean breeze in your hair. Sugary white sands will be exactly what the doctor ordered to banish a case of the winter blues! Before you know it, you could be soaking up the sun from the privacy of your own oceanfront rental.
What to Do in Navarre Beach
Fun Under the Sun
Navarre Beach is located on the barrier island, Santa Rosa Island, outside of Pensacola, Florida. People choose this destination in the Sunshine State for more than just sugary sand; there are also plenty of opportunities for fun under the sun. Pack up your family and get ready for a trip full of jet skis, canoeing, parasailing, and even sportfishing.
Many visitors are surprised by how crystal-clear the water is in this part of Florida. Navarre Beach weather is ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving. Adventurous travelers will be rewarded by encountering tropical fish of every hue and shape. Kids will love spotting a starfish in its natural environment instead of on the beach.
The Romantic Side of Navarre Beach
While Navarre Beach is ideal for family trips, it has earned a reputation as a heavenly location for weddings. One of the most popular Navarre Beach weddings takes place at sunset, while the orange sun sinks into the Gulf of Mexico. Navarre Beach offers gorgeous scenery and affordability as well.
The romance doesn't end with the scenery however. There is plenty to do for adults in Navarre Beach including golfing, shopping, and dining. Any quality Navarre Beach travel guide will reveal that a trip here can be as sophisticated and romantic, or casual and family-oriented as you desire.
More Adventure in Navarre Beach
While some visitors will be tempted to sunbathe and swim all vacation long, there are plenty of opportunities for adventure on this northern Florida beach. Navarre Beach is the perfect spot to take your first windsurfing lesson, buzz around on a jet ski, or work on your sailing skills. If you've never been fishing before, there's no better place to give this activity a try!
Away from the beach, there are more options for staying active during your trip. Work on your tennis swing, take an early morning stroll along the Nature Walk, or ride your bicycle to the Panhandle Butterfly House to see a wide variety of colorful butterflies.
What to See in Navarre Beach
Local Attractions
The reason many couples plan Navarre Beach weddings is the gorgeous scenery. It should come as no surprise then that many of the local attractions are part of the scenery. The Gulf Islands National Seashore Park is one place to experience local beauty, as well as the one-mile trail through Navarre Park called the Nature Walk.
If you're going to take the time to explore the Nature Walk, be sure not to miss the Panhandle Butterfly House. Both a wide variety of butterflies and local plant life are on display here. While Navarre Beach weather is consistently sunny, this is a good place to bring kids in case of a rainy day.
Culture and Local Events
Athletes will want to plan a trip to Navarre Beach during January for the annual Pensacola Beach Run. With 5K, 10K, and half-marathon options, it's a great option for people who are training for longer events. January is also the time of the Gulf Coast Bridal Fair. If you're considering Navarre Beach weddings, this event can't be missed. It is possible to plan your entire wedding in a single day.
February brings the Navarre Beach Mardi Gras Parade while March brings a celebration for St Patrick's Day. April offers the Pensacola Jazz Festival, Wine Festival, and Crawfish Festival. If you love boats, don't miss the boat parade that takes place every June. With an event in almost every month of the year, there will always be a reason to plan a trip to Navarre Beach!
Where to Shop and Eat in Navarre Beach
Shop Until You Drop in Navarre Beach
What trip would be complete without a little shopping? After a relaxing day of soaking up the sun, some travelers have a craving for a little retail therapy. Navarre Beach will have plenty of tempting options, including surf shops, flea markets, and places to pick up souvenirs for loved ones back home. If you forgot any of your beach basics at home, stop by Island Style. If you want to see some beautiful local shells, check out Sea Shell City or Sea Shell Factory. Souvenir City and the Fun Store are both great options for picking up a keepsake.
The Fresh Flavors of Navarre Beach
No Navarre Beach travel guide would be complete without talking about local restaurants. After a day of fishing or windsurfing, all of that activity is likely to work up an appetite. The local specialty is fresh seafood, and many serve it up with nightly entertainment too. From casual options to more elegant restaurants, this Florida destination has it all.
From barbecue to Thai to burger joints — whatever craving you have — Navarre Beach can satisfy it. Some local favorite restaurants include East Bay Crab House, Acapulco Restaurant, and Bayou Bobs. Whether you are looking for a frozen cocktail during the sunset or some fresh seafood under the stars, you will be pleasantly surprised by the options in Navarre Beach.
When to Visit Navarre Beach
Not every Navarre Beach travel guide will give honest information about when to visit. The truth is that every traveler will have his or her own ideal time to visit this part of Florida. While south Florida experiences very warm temperatures throughout the winter, this isn't always the case in northern Florida. Some travelers love visiting in the winter when temperatures aren't ideal for swimming, but sunbathing and walks on the beach are still on the cards.
Outside of winter, Navarre Beach is ideal for the rest of the year. Some visitors love the heat of the summer, when cooling off in the Gulf of Mexico feels most refreshing. Others prefer the seasons of spring and fall, when crowds are at their fewest, and the temperatures are never too extreme in either direction. Every traveler must find the perfect fit, but Navarre Beach has plenty to choose from! To avoid crowds, don't travel during the holidays in December or while schools are on break.
What to Bring Navarre Beach
Navarre Beach weather makes it simple to write out a packing list. All you will really need is your beach basics, including a bathing suit, sunscreen, sunglasses, and flip flops. Most travelers bring along some entertainment for the beach, including a juicy novel or an iPod. If you're planning a family trip, pack along a Frisbee for the kids or maybe some tools for building a sand castle. Restaurants here aren't too fancy, so you don't need any dressy outfits, but pack along a couple nicer outfits for nights on the town. A little entertainment for the kids in your vacation rental never hurt either, so bring their favorite board game or DVD.
Local Services in Navarre Beach
Visitors can expect to find high quality local services in Navarre Beach. Whether you are looking to rent a car or stock your kitchen with groceries, this beach town is used to dealing with the demands of visitors. Services are especially outstanding when it comes to sportfishing, sailing excursions, and other rentals for water activities. You won't have a dull moment during your vacation thanks to the great local services in Navarre Beach.
What to Know About Navarre Beach
Navarre Beach is a barrier island, meaning that it has two sides that face onto the water. The one side faces the Gulf of Mexico while the other faces the mainland and Santa Rosa Sound. Some travelers prefer the ocean side, while others prefer the bay. Depending on your desires and your budget, you will find the perfect vacation rental in Navarre Beach.
Getting to Navarre Beach
One popular way to reach Navarre Beach is to fly to Pensacola Regional Airport. From here, many visitors choose to rent a car, which allows for freedom to explore beyond the beach. If you can't find an affordable flight into Pensacola, another airport option is Destin, Florida. Many visitors also consider driving from home since Navarre Beach is located in northern Florida.
Why Navarre Beach Vacation Rentals?
When you reach an unspoiled beach with gorgeous turquoise water for snorkeling, the last thing you will want to do is be stuck in a cramped hotel room. Vacation rentals allow you to spread out, completely relax, and offer convenience that hotels simply can't. Your trip will be elevated to new heights with extra amenities like your own kitchen, private outdoor space, and maybe even a soaking tub for two. Don't take chances on hotels — know that your vacation is going to be special with an oceanfront rental.

Waiting at their doorstep are alien-infected, mutant zombies controlled by ameoba.

Do NOT Try This At Home!
By Norman
from Framingham, MA
Comments about Central Pneumatic High Speed Metal Air Saw:
First one bought wasn't exactly clear on WHERE to lube it, added some WD40 to the air inlet and assembled the saw in the other end with some trouble on the hex key wrench used to lock the saw in place. Maybe it was user error, as the saw mechanism only buzzed and did not cut anything. So, returned 1st one in exchange for another one thinking the 2nd one would probably not be a dud. I was so wrong. With the 2nd one had put several hours more into tinkering around with assembling/disassembling it to try and determine how, with its simple design, the air made the saw buzz and actually move it to cut. I knew it wouldn't work - even with modifying the inlet to the saw's chamber to allow it to build up more pressure, at least it began to saw, but not very good, even on a 150 psi max pressure 20+ lb air compressor. So returned the 2nd one back to HFT and got my 3rd unit, which just looks cool sitting on the shelf in the garage sealed in its perfectly made colorful retail box. Very disappointed with the functionality (lack thereof) but content with the idea of the concept of a pneumatic light handheld saw that I can use with my nice big air compressor!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

High Speed Metal Saw
By Nomad
from Central WI
I had purchased one of these a couple years back and it worked OK prior to not working at all....Starting a new project, i bought another. This one stops sawing at the slightest hint of getting near metal.20 gauge autobody steel will stop this saw cold in its tracks. I have a 7HP 80 gallon compressor, and this saw just spews air out the exhaust as the blade hooks into the steel......
Doesn't work
By Mike
from Antioch, CA
About Me Professional
Purchased this to cut out a body panel on a restoration, got back to the shop and plugged it in and air just blows out the exhaust. This saw couldn't cut itself out of the box it came in. I now use it to hold papers down on my tool box when we have the roll up doors open in the shop. Complete waste of money.
Will do in a pinch
By Weekend Wire Burner

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Like most of HF tools, this thing is not made to last. If you need a cheap air saw for a job, buy this one on sale, but don't make a space for it in your tool box. The thing rips itself apart.
Just say
By MrMark
from Birmingham, AL
Serious design flaws make this saw unusable.I purchased one of these air saws at a Harbor Freight store, along with blades because none were included with the saw. (Blades cost 1/2 the price of a saw, by the way) The saw will not accept the blades made for it. The blade guide is misaligned with the blade chuck, so a blade won't align with the chuck and can't be mounted to the saw.The misalignment is exactly the thickness of the blade guide mounting plate, which means the guides for these saws aren't properly made, causing the blade to be inserted that distance below the slot in the chuck. Thinking I may still be able to use the saw with a standard jigsaw blade, I mounted one and the saw ran, but it would cut less than 1/4" before stopping. Only pulling the blade free and starting the cut again would get the blade moving again, only to stop again after a few cutting strokes. My compressor and hose meet all the specs in the included instructions, so the problem is with the tool.The problem wasn't unique to this purchase. I returned the saw for exchange and the 2nd saw had the same problem. I've taken a blade back to the store and checked other saws on the shelf, and they're all made this way. I'm not sure how any users have had positive experiences with this particular model, because none of them I've checked are capable of working - period.

Waste of Money, They don't work at all
By Darren
from Huntsville AL
It just doesn't even move. Worst thing I have ever bought from harbor freight. I don't think anyone has bought one of these that work.
Pretty Much Useless
By Photog
from Northlake, TX
Bought this for small projects in the shop (seemed like a good idea at the time). Threaded in a fitting, added oil, hooked up to air, pressed the trigger, and things seemed okay. Unfortunately, the saw kept quitting part-way through every cutting attempt. Finally gave up on it...its basically useless. It would cost me more in gas money and time to return the darn thing, so it was cheaper to throw away. Basically, after this and a failed digital micrometer, I'm basically finished with anything from HF.

Hey guys! I know it isn't a biking video but since there's too much snow to ride in most places anyway I figured that I'd share my helmet camera video from Gore Mountain yesterday. Glades skiing is definitely the closest you can get to mountain biking during the winter without actually getting on a bike. Hope you guys enjoy!

Yemen has arrested eight suspected al-Qaeda fighters, including a Saudi fugitive, accused of plotting attacks on security installations in Yemen, the defence ministry has said.
Sunday's arrests came days after two suspected members of the same al-Qaeda cell were detained after a raid on a house in Hadramout province that sparked clashes in which three soldiers were killed.
"Two al-Qaeda elements were arrested during a raid on a house where cell members were hiding, and eight others were caught in the following days," the ministry said on its website.
A security official said the group arrested in Hadramout, east of the capital Sanaa, was accused of plotting attacks on security and other vital installations in the eastern province, but did not identify specific targets.
The defence ministry identified the Saudi who was arrested as Abdullah Faraj Mohamed Mahmoud al-Jawbar, who is on a list of 85 Saudis wanted by Riyadh.
The ministry said that authorities had found a suicide bomb belt in the house a week ago.
Death sentences upheld
Meanwhile, also on Sunday, a Yemeni appeals court upheld death sentences against four al-Qaeda fighters accused of carrying out attacks that included a deadly assault on the US embassy in March 2008 and the killing of two Belgian tourists in the same year.
A court official said the appeals court overturned the death sentences of two other alleged members of the same cell who were convicted of attacks on police in southern Hadramout province, and sentenced them to 12 years each instead.
The court in Sanaa on Sunday also upheld sentences of up to 15 years imprisonment against 10 other al-Qaeda suspects, including four Syrians and a Saudi man, for masterminding the attacks.
The cell was also accused of waging successive attacks on police and oil installations.
Most of the 16 fighters were arrested in August 2008 following a fierce gunbattle between al-Qaeda and Yemeni security forces in Hadramout.
Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the world and its government is already struggling to contain an uprising in the north, unrest in the south and the re-emergence of al-Qaeda in the region.

Friday/Weekend Thread
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 02-08-2013 - 8:59am
Good morning ladies, its Friday! I hope everyone has had a good week. What are your plans for the weekend?
|Fri, 02-08-2013 - 9:17am
Good morning ladies. I am back at work today, though I have a pain in my neck, I think I slept on it wrong, or should I say I tossed and turned so much I probably gave it to myself. I came back to plenty of things to do today, so I will probably have a good amount of stuff to do today to keep me busy. My lunch with my old boss got cancelled, and hopefully moved to early next week, we'll see. Off to the chiropractor after work tonight and then we usually go out to dinner, so we'll see. Jordyn works tonight, so I need to see if she'll be around for dinner or what.
I am hoping the weekend is pretty low key. I have to finish the dress I started sewing Madison yesterday, lots of laundry, grocery shopping, menu planning for next week and cleaning up the house. Jordyn has to work Saturday from 1-3 and Sunday 4-8:30 and she has to decorate her frame for her cheer banquet next weekend as well as finish up her scrapbook for it. Its supposed to be a beautiful weekend before a colder next week, so I'd love to spend as much time outdoors or at least with the windows open as possible.
And to all those in the new winter storm path, I hope everyone has a very safe weekend!!
|Fri, 02-08-2013 - 9:34am
Absolutely no plans this weekend or today. DH is in town and is at a client site most of the day, but I did give him a list of odd and ends to pick up on his way home. School today and then no idea. This weekend, I have lots to do around the house. DH has a couple of projects to work on-mostly mainentance. I've got to go through school receipts so DH can do state taxes. We owe on federal- first time ever! DH talked about adjusting his rate at work so we'd get a refund next year, but I don't see why bother. I've decided to take an internet break so I'm going to disappear for while. All is good.
|Fri, 02-08-2013 - 10:11am
Hi everyone, happy Friday and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Here, snow day for the kids and me due to the huge storm they anticipate hitting later today. So far, only flurries. I slept til 8:30, the kids slept in too. I'm mostly having a cleaning day, the house could use a good cleaning. Maybe I'll cook ahead later on, in case we lose power. Ian is baking sugar cookies.
Tomorrow, I'm guessing we won't get out, we are under storm warning til 1pm. The kids were supposed to volunteer at a 4H thing in the morning, but I doubt they will get there.
Sunday, Kayleigh and I leave for an overnight visit for her at one of the two final college choices. Hopefully the snow is well cleared and all roads are open. We plan to arrive on campus in time for her to have dinner there, and she'll spend the night in a dorm with another student. I'll spend the night at a hotel with a good book or two, maybe a bottle of wine. The next day, she'll go to two classes, meet again with her admissions rep and meet with a pre-health professions advisor
Stay safe if you are in the path of the storm!
|Fri, 02-08-2013 - 10:44am
The hot water heater- that we just gave this installer a whole lot of money- only gives hot water when the heat's on. Found that out yesterday. SIGH. He said he'd send someone out today to fix it, but I have no clue when. It's an easy fix- would take about an hour.
Becca's having kids over. I have no idea how many. Could be anywhere from 5-15. I guess they'll take over the whole downstairs if they all stay (2 I know can't stay).
So I spent half the morning cleaning up the junk all over the downstairs. Honestly- we wouldn't have a problem with piles of stuff if people would put things away. It's not like there's a ton of space in this house to begin with. SIGH. I need to make a batch of cookies for the orchestra bake sale / spaghetti dinner fundraiser (that nobody wants to go to and eat cold spaghetti, but we kind of already bought tickets for it)
Fundraiser tomorrow night. Nothing else going on. I probably need to take Becca out to get a new backpack. Last semester's classes were really easy in terms of books, so she kept the small one that she'd been using. This semester she's got books and 3-4 binders she has to take to class, the bag she's got is far too small.
|Fri, 02-08-2013 - 11:01am
Heading off to work in a few minutes. DD went back to school today but I don't think she is going to theatre after, she says she still has a headache, at least there is no more fever. After work I need to run to Costco for a few things. nothing much going on tonight. Tomorrow DS has a service project for Boy Scouts. depending on the weather, DH supposed to be headed to Washinton DC for work. Sunday is just a catch-up day for homework and chores. Hopa everyone has a good weekend, and those in the storms path stay safe.
|Fri, 02-08-2013 - 11:10am
We had a rainy morning. All the kids got off alright. Matthew had a sore throat. Just as he was getting better he starts all over again. Grief! Nothing going today. I may run to the store and grab a few things I wasn't able to get. Making hamburgers for dinner tonight.
Tomorrow, Hmmm......now sure. Tim is determined to make the kids work all day or make them go outside. Except we are suppose to get more rain I think.
Sunday, nothing that I know of right now. I may run away so I don't have to deal with Tim getting mad at the kids and them coming to me to complain about Tim.

Homers By Marte, Rodriguez, Cunningham, And Rojas
Catching up with the action for the Pirates' lower minor league affiliates for Thursday…. several home runs
Trenton Thunder 8 , Altoona Curve 6
[ box ]
A 3-run homer by CF Starling Marte and a solo blast by SS Josh Rodriguez were not enough to get past the Thunder.
The Curve got the game started with a run in the top of the 1st on singles by RF Andrew Lambo and C Tony Sanchez, plus a fielding error by the Trenton center fielder, allowing Lambo to score. Trenton came back with 4 runs in the bottom of the inning, on a walk, two singles, and two doubles, for a 4-1 lead. The Curve took the lead back in the top of the 2nd, when 1B Matt Curry and 3B Greg Picart both singled, and Marte drove them in with his 5th home run of the season. That tied the game, but the tie did not last long. Five singles in the bottom of the 2nd brought in 3 runs for the Thunder, who were back on top, 7-4.
Starter Aaron Pribanic gave up a single in the 3rd, then gave up an unearned run in the 4th on a fielding error by Picart, a single, scoring on a double play. That made Pribanic responsible for 8 runs (7 earned) on 11 hits and a walk in his 5 innings of work. Matt McSwain took over to begin the 6th. He gave up a single in the 6th, but erased that runner with a double play, and then gave up a double and a walk in the 7th, but left those runners on base. Anthony Claggett pitched a scoreless 9th, allowing a single. That runner moved up to second base on a throwing error by Rodriguez, but was out in a fielder's choice run-down between second and third.
Rodriguez led off the Curve part of the 6th with his solo homer. LF Quincy Latimore followed the homer with a walk, and Curry singled, moving Latimore to third. Curry was thrown out trying to steal second base, but Picart's single drove in Latimore to give the Curve their final run.
Curve Scoreless Again, Marauders Bomb Mets
Some Sunday action in the Pirates' minor league organization… the GCL Pirates had the day off.
Harrisburg Senators 6, Altoona Curve 0
[ box ]
The Curve were again held scoreless this afternoon. That means that in the last 5 games (44 innings), the Curve have scored just one run. Today the team was held to 3 hits, and those were the only Curve batters to reach base. The first 10 batters were retired in order. 2B Brock Holt doubled in the 4th inning, then the next 6 batters were retired. Pinch-hitter Brad Chalk singled in the 6th, and was out at second when CF Starling Marte grounded into a force out. The Curve also went down in order in the 7th and 8th innings. Marte doubled with one out in the 9th, but two fly outs left Marte still standing on second base when the game ended.
Phillip Irwin made the start for Altoona. He allowed two singles over the first two innings, but ran into difficulty in the 4th. A single began the inning, then Irwin recorded two outs. That was followed by an RBI single, a double, a 2-RBI single, and a throwing error. One more run scored on a wild pitch, to give the Senators a 4-0 lead. Irwin finished his afternoon with those 4 runs (3 earned) on 6 hits, no walks, with 6 strikeouts in 5 innings of work.
Bryan Morris relieved Irwin and pitched 2 scoreless innings, allowing a walk and a single in the 7th. Tim Alderson pitched the 8th, and gave up a single and a 2-run homer for the Senators' final two runs.
State College Season Begins; Von Rosenberg Wins #3
Friday's action with the Pirate's lower minor league teams — the brief version, as we're on the road:
The Bradenton Marauders are off for the Florida State League's All-Star weekend. The 50th FSL All-Star Game will be played on Saturday, in Clearwater, FL. Representing the Marauders: C Ramon Cabrera and INF Aaron Baker and Jarek Cunningham. Kyle McPherson and Brett Lorin were also named to the team but won't be participating because McPherson was promoted to AA, and Lorin is injured.
The Pirates have signed Jon Schwind (41st round pick), and he will report to the GCL Pirates. Schwind was listed as a catcher when drafted, but he also plays some infield and out field.
Williamsport Crosscutters 7, State College Spikes 0
[ box ]
Not the way the Spikes wanted to start the season. Starter Nick Kingham had two good innings, allowing only a single, but things fell apart in the 3rd. That inning began with a lead-off homer, then after one out, a single and a stolen base put a runner on second. After the second out, an RBI single drove in the second run of the inning. A walk and a 3-run homer made it 5-0. Joely Rodriguez took over for Kingman in the 4th, and gave up an unearned run on a double, a wild pitch, and a passed ball. Rodriguez also loaded the bases in the 5th, but got out of the jam with a fly out. Vince Payne pitched the next two innings, allowing only two singles. Joan Montero took the bottom of the 8th, and gave up the final Williamsport run on a hit batter, a walk, and an RBI double.
The Spikes collected 6 hits. C Samuel Gonzalez singled and doubled, and RF Carlos Mesa singled twice, while two newly signed draft picks, CF Taylor Lewis and DH Derek Trent, each singled. The Spikes threatened in the 3rd inning, when 3B Walker Gourley was hit by a pitch, then Trent reached base on a fielding error by the Williamsport left fielder. Gourley came around from first and tried to score on the play, but was tagged out at the plate. They had another chance in the 4th, when LF Exicardo Cayonez was hit by a pitch and Gonzalez doubled, moving Cayonez to third, but both were left on base.
Homers For Cunningham, Mort, and Howard In Sunday Wins
Big hitting in the Pirates' minor league affiliates' Sunday action:
Altoona Curve 13, Reading Phillies 4 (conclusion of suspended game)
[ box ]
The Curve were way out in front when rain halted play on Saturday evening, leading 11-1 in the middle of the 3rd. When play resumed today, Matt McSwain took over on the mound for starter Aaron Pribanic. McSwain gave up a solo home run in the bottom of the 3rd, to make it 11-2. McSwain retired the R-Phils in order over the next three innings, until he gave up another solo homer, followed by two singles, in the 7th.
CF Starling Marte singled for the Curve in the 4th but did not score. The Curve went down in order for the next two innings, then they rallied again in the top of the 7th. RF Anthony Norman led off with a walk, and Marte singled again. A throwing error by the R-Phils third baseman let Norman score. Marte advanced to third base, and he scored on SS Jordy Mercer's sacrifice fly.
Aaron Thompson came on in relief in the 8th inning. He gave up a single and a walk, but retired the next three batters for a scoreless 8th. Reading scored one more time in the bottom of the 9th, on a single, a walk, and an RBI double, but it was way too little and way to late, and the Curve had the win.
Reading Phillies 2, Altoona Curve 1 (scheduled game)
[ box ]
The Curve should have saved a few hits and runs for this game. They posted 6 hits, with 2 each by CF Starling Marte and RF Brad Chalk, and one each by SS Jordy Mercer and C Tony Sanchez. Their only run came in the top of the 1st, on a single by Marte and Mercer's RBI double.
The Curve put at least one runner on base in all but one of the rest of the innings, but could not bring anyone around to score. Sanchez and Chalk hit back-to-back singles in the 2nd, and that was their biggest threat. A strikeout and a ground out ended that rally.
Jeff Locke pitched 5 innings in his start. He gave up one single over the first two innings, then gave up a solo home run with two outs in the 3rd to tie the game. Two singles and a walk loaded the bases after the homer, but a fly out got Locke out of that jam. Locke also gave up a single in both the 4th and the 5th.
Donnie Veal relieved Locke to begin the 6th inning. He also gave up a 2-out solo home run for the go-ahead run, and was charged with the loss. The Curve had one last chance in the top of the 7th, when Sanchez led off with a walk, then went to second base on a bunt by Chalk, but he was left stranded when the game ended.
Homers For Mercer And Watts; Three Power All-Stars
Tonight it's the Bradenton Marauders who have a scheduled night off….
Altoona Curve 10, Erie SeaWolves 5
[ box ]
The Curve posted 13 hits, with CF Starling Marte leading the barrage with 3 of them. The Curve jumped out to a 6-0 lead with 2 runs in the bottom of the 1st and 4 more in the 2nd. 2B Brock Holt opened the bottom of the 1st with a double into center field. Marte's ground out moved Holt to third base, and he scored on SS Jordy Mercer's single into left field. Mercer advanced to second base on a ground out by LF Quincy Latimore, and he scored on 1B Matt Curry's RBI single.
The 2nd inning began with a walk by C Tony Sanchez, followed by a ground-rule double by DH Kris Watts. Both runners held their place on a short fly out and a strike out, then Marte singled, driving in Sanchez. Marte stole second base, and the Erie pitcher threw a wild pitch, allowing Watts to score. A 2-run homer by Mercer brought in Marte and gave the Curve the 6-0 lead.
Erie got two of the runs back in the top of the 3rd off starter Jeff Locke. A single and a hit batter gave the SeaWolves 2 runners on base with 2 outs. The lead runner came in on a fielding error by Mercer, then a single plated the second unearned run of the inning. A double, a fielding error by Latimore, and a sacrifice fly gave Erie a third run in the 4th inning.
The Curve kept adding on. Watts blasted a solo homer in the 3rd. In the 5th, Curry doubled, then scored on Sanchez's line drive single into center field, and the Curve led 8-3. Sanchez also stole second base and went to third on a throwing error, but was left there when Watts struck out.
Locke pitched 6 innings and allowed 3 runs (1 earned) on 6 hits, no walks, while striking out 8 batters. Tim Alderson came on in relief to begin the 7th, but he got into trouble right away. With one out, he gave up a single and three consecutive walks, driving in a run. Michael Dubee replaced Alderson, and he got the next batter to ground out, but that brought in another run, also charged to Alderson. Dubee ended the inning with a strikeout. Dubee also pitched a scoreless 8th inning, allowing 2 singles. Noah Krol pitched a 1-2-3 inning in the 9th.
Altoona rallied one more time in the bottom of the 8th. With one out, Watts was hit by a pitch, and RF Brad Chalk ripped a triple into right field, easily scoring Watts. Chalk scored on Holt's RBI single, and Marte also added a single — his third of the game.

Once the gun goes off, you'll be racing on West River Dr along the Schuylkill. The water stop comes just about 1.25 miles away, just before you make a left onto Sweet Briar Dr. A quick right onto Lansdowne Dr brings you face to face with a challenging uphill. At the top of the hill, you'll be rewarded with spectacular views of the Please Touch Museum, which you will get to examine even closer as you make a right on E Memorial Hall Dr followed by a quick right onto the Avenue of the Republic. Once you go around the Centennial Circle, you'll be able to open your legs up down the nice, long Black Rd hill. Go left on West River Dr. At the turnaround point you'll be a little bit more than 2 miles from finish. As an added bonus, you'll get to pass the water stop with about 1.25 miles to go for a flat, fast finish! We'll have a high five for you waiting at the finish!

Box lid
Spain (probably Cordoba), carved ivory, 10.5 cm diameter, dated AD 999.
Carved from a section of elephant's tusk, this beautiful lid is decorated with the figures of four huntsmen killing deer and leopards. It is inscribed with the name of the patron, the vizier Abu'l-Mutarrif, one of the last members of the Spanish Umayyad dynasty, whose fall saw the beginning of the Christian reconquest. Originally part of a casket (probably a container for exotic perfume), it was almost certainly made in Cordoba, one of the two main centres of ivory carving in Muslim Spain. It is outstanding both for the representation of movement and for the quality of the detail, and belongs to a rare sequence of luxury objects made for members of the Islamic royal court. [Acquired with grants from the Victoria and Albert Museum Purchase Grant Fund, the National Art Collections Fund and the Friends of the Ashmolean, EA1987.0003].

Can Low Commission Hurt Your Chances of Selling Your Home?
June 30, 2009 by Danilo Bogdanovic
Filed under Seller Resources
Steve, a home seller in Williamsburg, VA posted the following question on Trulia, "Can low commission hurt my sale?" It's obviously a hot topic because there have been 506 responses (and counting) since June 4.
Here's my answer:
No agent/broker should ever "steer" or "sort" listings by commission amount. That harms the buyer and is therefore unethical without the expressed permission from the buyer client (in writing).
Buyer's agents who take it upon themselves to shy away from listings that are offering less than what is written into their Buyer's Agency Agreement with their buyer clients,
1) don't have a Buyer's Agency Agreement signed in the first place
2) haven't spoken in detail with their buyer clients as to what happens when a seller/listing broker is offering less than what is agreed upon in the Buyer's Agency Agreement.
There are plenty of ways to legally and ethically negotiate a contract to cover the difference in commission between what is being offered by the seller/listing broker and what is in the Buyer's Agency Agreement prior to contract ratification (with the buyer via seller subsidy). Unfortunately, not many agents know how.
And if you're wondering why many consumers don't like Realtors, answers such as, " Many people look though MLS email updates. Some agents secretly filter their searches so that the automated service won't send their clients listings unless they are 3% listings. " is one reason why. Those agents should all have their licenses revoked immediately.
Since I spoke a bit about what a Buyer's Agent should not do, I'd also like to talk about what a Buyer's Agent should do…
A Buyer's Agent should be looking through every property on the market for a property that meets their buyer client's needs regardless of the commission amount being offered by the seller. This includes properties that are "For Sale By Owner" (FSBO).
I have been asked by my buyer clients many times if they could look at FSBO properties and if I could represent them on the purchase of a FSBO property. The answer is "yes." There plenty of ways to deal with the issue of commission and they're all pretty simple, straight-forward and easy if you ask me.
So what's your response to Steve's question, "Can low commission hurt my sale?"
