Property Details
This is one of 4 corner units at Maalaea Yacht Marina, located on the second floor. Big windows wrap the corner so the view is stunning even from the kitchen. You can easily host dinner for six at the large lanai table and enjoy the spectacular sunset skies. Custom kitchen with beautiful cabinets is well equipped with all necessities. Large master bedroom with sliding glass door leading into the lanai offers a full view of the water. The comfy king-sized bed has upgraded linens and lots of closet space. Separate vanity with large, tiled walk-in shower gives the feeling you're in a home and not a cramped hotel room. Many upgrades throughout, including broadband and cable TV.
New queen size sofa sleeper in living room sleeps an additional 2 people.
Maalaea is a great, central 'jumping-off' point to most points of interest on Maui. The airport is 15 minutes away, and you can reach Lahaina and the North Shore in a half hour. Kihei and Wailea are 20 minutes to the south, with 4 great golf courses located 5 miles or less.
Yes, there is wind in Maalaea, but you are sheltered on the lanai and can enjoy the views all day. We will gladly trade the traffic and congestion in the larger towns for the quiet residential feel in Maalaea.
There are four excellent restaurants within a short walk. The Maalaea General Store offers many wonderful convenience/grocery items and the Tradewinds deli is a great place to pick up sandwiches and chat with the friendly owners.
There is a small beach inside the breakwater, but you can walk to the end of Hau'oli Road to the four mile beach (it's about 1/2 mile and there is parking should you choose to drive). The beach is great for walking, swimming, and snorkeling (be sure to bring the snorkel gear, beach towels and boogie boards that are located in the closet!) But if you prefer, you can watch surfers challenging the Freight Train, a shore break wave known for it's speed and intensity, from your comfortable lanai seat. You might even see the resident Monk Seal (named Humpy) or the two eagle rays (named Spot and Ray).
Enjoy the famous Beach Bums, Porto's Pizza and Seascape Restaurant. Also at the village shops are the Maui Ocean Center (voted Maui's most popular attraction), Pacific Whale Foundation, Maui Dive Shop, ice cream and gourmet coffee. Carl's Junior is at the highway intersection, and there are miniature golf and bumper boats. You can catch the Maui Bus at the sidewalk below the Ocean Center if you'd rather not drive to Lahaina, Kaahumanu Mall, Wailea, Paia, etc. The routes can change, I try to keep updates in the condo, but there are up to date schedules posted in the Village and on-line.
We purchased the condo in December 2013. Previous owner rented out this unit through vrbo for several years with many positive reviews.
Owning an oceanfront condo has been a dream come true for us and we are thrilled with the idea of using it primarily as a vacation rental while visiting occasionally with our own family and friends. We treat the condo with love and make it a priority to always have it in the best possible condition.
We consider our guests as friends and truly want them to have a wonderful experience while on Maui. We have wonderful managers on the island who are available whenever you need them.
We require that least 1 adult be over the age of 25.

Maui vacation
About the Owner
We are recently retired and now have the time to enjoy the things we love -- traveling, photography and visiting friends and family. After visiting our kids on Maui for over 9 years, we had an opportunity to buy this condo, fulfilling a life-long dream. We are thrilled to be able to offer it to others to enjoy, but we'll equally happy to occasionally use it with our own friends and family.
Guestbook comments from the owner
The first thing you notice when you enter through the front door is the incredible view directly out toward Molokini (which is where you want to go for spectacular snorkeling). The unit is clean and well maintained, and air-conditioned throughout, although if you leave the front door and the lanai doors open, the trade winds will keep the unit comfortable and you might not have to use the A/C. (we only used the A/C at night in the bedrooms). There was more than enough space for my wife and I and my wife's parents (90 and 89 respectively). One bedroom has a king sized bed and another has two beds, so the unit is perfect for a group of four friends or a small family. The unit is just steps from the pier where several snorkeling or dive boats go out every day. There is a nice Deli next door with friendly owners, but if you want to do some serious grocery shopping, you can go to either Kihei and Lahaina (Kihei is closer). A drive to either comes with a lot of scenery. There is a small beach (very user friendly for small kekei- look it up) just a few steps away. There is also a pool, but who goes to Hawaii to use a pool? There is an elevator which makes it convenient to haul groceries or luggage, or for anyone with mobility problems. One final note: the owner Dorthi, is very helpful, and will respond quickly by e-mail should you have any questions. She also provided, in the unit, a lot of information about Maui activities. We definitely plan on going back as soon as possible.

Maui vacation
Best place we have stayed at in Maalaea
Relax with a stunning view
All necessary appliances are available. The unit was clean (except for the 2 inch spider in the kitchen sink :-)). The only comment we have is the noisy airco unit when you sit on the lanai. The airco has a off switch so it's not really a problem. The condo is easy accessible and only 15-20 min away from Kihului. If and when we return to Maui we'll go back to this condo for sure.
Two Words - LOVED IT!
Not all I had hoped it would be.
I was very disappointed though that the master bedroom off the main living area was only separated by a panel of hanging louvered doors that came no where near touching the floor. In addition the air conditioner was located in the living area, so the doors had to be opened if you wanted to feel any effect. This meant if that my daughter was up with the baby so were we. This condo is only suited for a couple, or a family with small children, since there is no real sense of privacy
in the master bedroom.
The little harbor community was quite nice, and Maalaea was a convenient location for accesses other areas of Maui.
Ma'alaea no ka oi !!Ma'alaea no ka oi !!
From the Owner
"We fell in love with the condo as soon as we first saw it. The ocean views are amazing throughout the living area, kitchen and even from the master bedroom. The overall feeling we got was cozy, comfortable and relaxing."
Activity and Interests
A 5-minute walk to restaurants, stores and tourist attractions. Also walking distance to the Maui Ocean Center, Maui Dive Shop, farmers market, miniature golf and bumper boats. At the Marina, you can arrange fishing, snorkeling and scuba diving trips.

From the Owner
"This is a rare corner unit with a wrap-around lanai that allows for interesting views of the ocean as well as the harbor and all its activities. It has the perfect balance of relaxation and excitement and you can have a wonderful time just lounging on the lanai. Beautiful sunrises and sunset skies are really breathtaking. The condo is walking distance to beaches, the harbor, restaurants, shops and all kinds of interesting places to explore."

Future of Sudan's Darfur uncertain post-referendum
KHARTOUM, Sudan Years before Sudan's south began casting votes for succession, the woes of Africa's largest country were defined by the ethnic bloodshed in the western Darfur region.
Now, international mediators and rights groups are calling for stronger efforts to settle the eight-year Darfur conflict, fearing that the expected breakaway of the south may push Khartoum's leaders to clamp down harder on dissent and place stricter limits on an international role in Darfur and other areas that remain under its direct control.
Human Rights Watch and other groups say violence was already increasing in the vast arid region in the lead-up to the southern referendum held earlier this month. At the same time, government restrictions are making it harder to obtain information on conditions there, they say.
On Friday there were reports of new clashes between the military and rebels in Darfur, leaving 21 dead.
As many as 300,000 people have died as a result of the fighting in Darfur - a vast region outside the secession-seeking south - between forces from the Arab-led central government and rebel factions whose demands include greater control over natural resources. At least 2.7 million people have been displaced inside Darfur and in neighboring Chad.
The roots of the breakaway movement in the south are similar, but it's also fed by a religious split between the Muslim-dominated north and the heavily Christian south.
The referendum for southern independence was part of a 2005 peace deal that ended more than two decades of civil war. Preliminary results show overwhelming support to create the world's newest nation.
American officials visited Darfur during the referendum to send a message that the region will not be forgotten.
U.S. Senator John Kerry reminded Sudanese officials that prospects for improved relations with the U.S. hinge on progress in Darfur. He also urged greater international efforts to reach a resolution in Darfur after more than two years of talks in Qatar have failed to reach a comprehensive peace deal.
Mediators from the African Union echoed Kerry's appeal.
Roger Middleton, a Sudan expert with the London-based Chatham House, said the impact of the referendum on Darfur is still far from clear.
"There are two possibilities. One of them is that the loss of southern Sudan and the loss of that big obstacle frees up Khartoum to really focus on winning a war - a political war, at least - in Darfur and that gives them the ability and time and the money to focus on that," he said.
The other possibility is that the Darfur rebels could take inspiration from the south "and perhaps even potentially (see) an ally in the new southern independent state," said Middleton.
In advance of the referendum, violence flared between government forces and the array of Darfur rebel groups, which pledged to unite. U.N. officials said as many as 40,000 people were displaced by the December fighting.
The government walked out of peace talks held in Qatar's capital, Doha, after failing to reach a cease-fire agreement. And a rebel leader who had signed a peace deal with the government in 2006 fled to southern Sudan, prompting the government to declare him a public enemy.

Gendreau's photo – "Rough Surf at Sunrise" – captures waves crashing over the rocks at Beavertail State Park with the Beavertail Lighthouse in the distance. The photo appears in this month's issue of Rhode Island Monthly. "As a landscape photographer, I am endlessly inspired by Rhode Island's beautiful coastline," Gendreau said. "I shot 'Rough Surf at Sunrise' on a very dreary November morning at Beavertail State Park. There was a storm offshore and the surf was as high as I've ever seen it; waves were pounding the rocks and all I could hear was the constant thundering roar of the ocean. It was one of the most exhilarating and dramatic scenes I have ever witnessed."

Sailnet´s demise, this suggests...
This has been, and may continue to be, a unique and wonderful forum to share information, and debate boat-related issues.
Unfortunately like all commercial enterprises, the Sailnet forum exists at the mercy of the marketplace, and may just suddenly disappear.
If the rumors of Sailnets imminent or extant demise are true, we can expect the forum to simply disappear without warning - perhaps at month-end (billing period).
I dont expect that the CruisersForum will necessarily fill the needs of this membership, nor replace the Sailnet board, but it may provide a meeting place to stay in touch with developments - and to tag up with each other. I will endeavour to maintain a clearing-house of information at http://cruisersforu.com
Specifically at the thread: http://cruisersforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2059
Titled: SAILNET Message Board
Under the Blue Water Cruising divider, at the heading Books, References, Links & Website Announcements
Heres hoping the rumors are false, and the Sailnet Message Boards remain up & active.
If not, check in at the CruisersForum

Brown: Helping others will spread holiday joy
Decorating for Christmas was a big deal around my house.
We always had a flocked tree. My Mom even bought a machine and flocked her own trees. I always anxiously waited for the van to arrive with the beautiful tree we picked out. Mom would work her magic, and two days later it would be in the living room ready to decorate when I got home from school.
Many of the ornaments had special meanings for each family member. We also would put icicles on as the finishing touch. Remember those old-fashioned kind that stuck together? Well, we discovered very quickly that my dad would never be able to help with those, because the year that it was his job, we found clumps of them all over the tree. That job needed a lady's touch. It wasn't until I was older that I found out why Christmas decorating was so important to my mom. When she was a young girl, her house burned to the ground on Christmas Day, and her family lost everything. She always wanted that to be a happy time for our family.
One of the best memories was a precious friend of the family, Lady Hancock, would always prepare a box of 24 small gifts for me and my sister. We got to open one each evening before Christmas. That was the highlight of each day. They were small things like lip gloss, fingernail polish, etc., but you would have thought it was a million bucks.
As a little girl and even today, I love surprises. I never wanted to know what any of my gifts were; I loved the element of surprise on Christmas morning. Now, my sister was a whole different story. She could not stand surprises. When my parents would go to a Christmas Party, she would want to get a razor blade and open each of her presents and rewrap them so she would know everything she was getting. The only thing that would stop her was knowing that I would tell and she would be in big trouble. So she became a master at the art of shaking presents. One year, when charm bracelets were the in thing, she asked for a poodle charm. By Christmas morning, that poodle charm had a broken tail and one of the eyes missing because of all the shaking. The cotton in that box was in shreds. She is not much better, even today, about surprises.
Times are a little differently today as opposed to when I was a child. There are more and more families in need and more angel trees than ever before.
I know all of the agencies of Hands to Hands have wish lists for the children, young adults and seniors that are served by their organizations. I encourage you to start a new tradition at your house and pick one of these agencies and get involved. Maybe you adopt an angel off their tree, become a volunteer at least one hour a week or a couple of hours a month somewhere, mentor to a child in an after-school program, be a tutor, become a CASA, deliver meals on wheels, help with or become a leader for Camp Fire or Boy Scouts or be a counselor at a summer camp. These are the gifts that keep on giving day after day, week after week, year after year and I promise you that you will get out of it much more than you put into it. Most importantly, what you are doing is creating memories for each of these lives you touch. What you do will make memories they will treasure and what you are doing for these agencies is priceless.
Merry Christmas and a very happy 2013 to all.
If you would like to find out more information about Hands to Hands, please go to our website or give me a call. We welcome the opportunity to speak to your service organization, volunteer group, whatever the occasion. We want you to know what is happening in your community and how you can be more involved.

Kris Meeke is to be a late edition to the line-up for the Spanish round of the World Rally Championship - and probably the French round in Corsica, too.
He has been called in by Renault Sport to drive an R3 Clio run by the French Chazel-Technologie team on Rally Catalunya starting on Thursday week.
And Meeke may go to the Tour de Corse a fortnight later as Renault continue to evaluate and develop the new two-litre Clio for rallying.
"It has all been pretty last minute but I understand I'm taking over the Interspeed team entry of Serbian Milos Komljenovic in Spain, and possibly Corsica too," said the former Junior World championship ace.
The car is being supplied by Renault Sport but run by satellite team Chazel who also look after the R3 Clio of Luxembourg's Gilles Schammel. Chris Patterson will co-drive in place of Paul Nagle who is unavailable.
Meeke contested Rally Russia in an R3 Clio for Renault Sport earlier in the summer but it succumbed to the horrendously rough stages and he retired on the second day when a rock punched a hole in the sump.
"They are keen to continue the development work on the R3 Clio but this time on asphalt which should suit it much better," said Meeke."
Meeke drove a Super 1600 Clio for the Italian Munaretto team on Rally Deutschland where he was beating all the current Junior World championship contenders until an electrical fault stopped the car for six minutes.
It later prompted Junior World champion-elect Sebastien Ogier to say he would like another match-up with Meeke in Corsica once, he hopes, he has secured the JWRC title in Spain next week.
And while it looks as though Meeke may be there they won't be in equal cars.
"I would love to have another race with Sebastien but Renault are only interested in developing the new two-litre R3 Clio, not the Super 1600 car, so it isn't going to happen."
But things are happening for Meeke at the moment. Today he was scheduled to test Irish tarmac suspension for the Swedish Ohlins company and tomorrow he will be in Italy for meetings with Fiat and Kronos.
He's back in England on Friday for a sponsorship meeting with Red Bull and then its on to Scotland for the McRae Stages Rally at the weekend before heading to Spain and Rally Catalunya.

LOS ANGELES - UCLA quarterback Kevin Prince appears to be on schedule to return to the lineup for the Oct. 10 game against Oregon.
Prince had his jaw wired shut after if was broken during the Bruins' game at Tennessee on Sept 12. Some of the restrictive bands are expected to be removed from his mouth Oct. 4, the day after the Bruins open their Pac-10 schedule at Stanford.
"They told me the day after the Stanford game," Prince said Thursday through clenched teeth.
"My surgeon, Dr. (Alan) Felsenfeld, said Oregon is when it's going to happen. That's four weeks exactly. He said that's basically good enough. The jaw should be healed up and I'll have a new helmet, so I'll be protected."
In the meantime, Prince will continue to do a lot more watching than practicing. While there are a few things he can to do stay in shape, getting hit during practice drills is not on that list.
"I can run. I can throw. I can lift," Prince said. "It's tough to breathe when I run so that's a problem. Getting hit is an issue so that's why I'm held out of some drills, even handoffs and stuff. They don't want to risk something going wrong."
Prince lost about 10 pounds after the injury but has started to put some of it back on. Stuck with a menu that consists of blended food and nutrition shakes, he is looking forward to the day that he sinks his teeth into something with more substance.
"The first thing back, I'm getting a steak," he said with a laugh.
Prince doesn't think he'll have to do much catching up once he returns to his usual practice routine. He has been watching practices and film and already has a pretty good handle on the offense.

It never ceases to amaze me that Hilary Duff got so hot, but I have to admit that she did. If you're also having trouble believing it, maybe this Hilary Duff bikini video will help convince you. Hilary Duff hit the beach in Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and brought her tour diary camera with her, and I'd definitely have to say this was the highlight of her tour.
There is one thing I noticed, though, and that's just how perky Hilary Duff's breasts look in that bikini. Now, there are a few possible explanations here. A) Hilary Duff has unbelievably naturally firm breasts. 2) That's one hell of an underwire in that bikini. Or 3) Them boobs is fakes. You're call. If you ask me, I think her boobs are as fake as her teeth.

Preparing For Satellite Repair In Space
The U.S. government is laying the groundwork for an entire new industry to service satellites in orbit.
The Robotic Refueling Mission flying aboard space shuttle Atlantis will use the International Space Station's Dextre robot to test tools for refueling and repairing satellites.
"I've likened it to a Fisher-Price play toy for a robot, and I don't mean that in a negative sense," Atlantis commander Chris Ferguson said in a preflight interview with Reuters.
The astronauts aboard Atlantis' final flight arrived at the ISS on Sunday to deliver a year's worth of food, clothing and other supplies.
NASA hired Space Exploration Technologies and Orbital Sciences Corp. to deliver cargo to the station beginning next year.
The Obama Administration wants NASA to buy rides for the astronauts aboard Russia's Soyuz spacecraft, which will cost the space agency over $50 million a seat.
The $22.6 million Robotic Refueling Mission equipment is scheduled to be installed outside of the space station during a 6.5-hour spacewalk on Tuesday.
The equipment consists of a box of tools, fittings and a tank of ethanol fuel that the station's Dextre robot can use to perform tasks that would be needed to refuel a satellite.
NASA plans to hire an industry partner for a follow-up mission around 2015 to refuel a U.S. government weather satellite and then nine other spacecraft in orbit.
"We want the commercial world to take over this service," Benjamin Reed, deputy project manager for the Satellite Servicing Capabilities Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, said in a statement.
There are about 360 operational commercial communications satellites and another 100 government-owned satellites orbiting Earth.
"Every single one of them one day is going to run out of fuel and be thrown away. That's the way it's always been done. If a robot can go up and refuel it, you wouldn't have to throw it away," Reed said in a statement.
Because the satellites were not designed with refueling in mind, the technical hurdles are steep.
Reed said since the same technology also could be used to disable satellites, NASA intends to be as open as possible about the project.
"We plan an international workshop next spring where we will lay out in more detail what our plans are to make the world aware of what we are doing so that we can minimize the anti-satellite weapon accusers," Reed said in a statement.
The spacewalk will be conducted by NASA's two space station crewmembers, Ron Garan and Mike Fossum.
Atlantis is due back to Earth on July 21. NASA gave the crew an extra day at the space station to complete more unpacking tasks.
The mission is the 135th and final flight in the 30-year-old shuttle program.

Committee will help pick US attorney in Chicago
His announcement came just two months after former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was sentenced to 14 years in prison for corruption. Blagojevich's predecessor, George Ryan, also is in prison for corruption. During his tenure in Chicago, Fitzgerald also oversaw the prosecutions of Vice President Dick Cheney's top aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, media mogul Conrad Black, terror suspects and mobsters.
Durbin said Fitzgerald's opinion carries a lot of weight, and he might ask him his impression of the finalists.
"It is our hope that when all is said and done, we can find a person of the quality of Patrick Fitzgerald," Durbin said, adding that the U.S. attorney has "the ability to not only keep us safe but also the ability to wield power, either wisely or not wisely. Patrick Fitzgerald handled that in an extraordinary way and we need to make sure his successor continues in that tradition."

Sailnet Web Email Problems!!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE lengthen the timeout time for sailnet web email! I''m constantly losing emails that I''ve typed up. When I go to send a email, I''ve been logged out, and my message is lost. Apparently I''m just not bright enough to remember this and type up my emails in a word processor, then copy/paste. Why would it time out anyways when the status of the user is still active? Perhaps you could change it so that only unactive users will time out? Thanks in advance for everything.
Sailnet Web Email Problems!!!!
I''ve forwarded your request to the IT department and they should get back to you regarding the the time out process.

Peoples Television Is In Full Bloom!

Peoples Telephone Area Weather
The days of a one-computer household are gone. Today's family uses multiple devices at once. At any given moment a family might be connecting with three or four smart phones, several tablets or laptops, a game console and a video streaming device. If your family fits this profile, you probably need more bandwidth.
Saturating a network with this many devices at once makes it seem like your speeds are slow when actually the household is maxing out their bandwidth. Think of your bandwidth as a highway and your data as a car-the wider the highway, the more cars that can travel it at the same time, getting them to their destinations faster.
Households with several family members accessing the Internet simultaneously will be happiest with a faster speed. Peoples Telecommunications, LLC offers 6mb and 15mb Highspeed Internet at a very reasonable price. These higher speed plans are available now. Call 913-757-2500 to find the plan that is right for your family.

The mystery surrounding the death of Mark Ruffalo's brother just got a little more clouded.
The Los Angeles Coroner's Office today confirmed that extensive toxicology tests showed Scott Ruffalo had slight amounts of cocaine, morphine and alcohol in his system at the time he was fatally shot Dec. 1 in what the lone witness claimed was a game of Russian roulette.
"We found very light trace of cocaine and morphine and a minimal amount of alcohol. In other words, he wasn't drunk or high on drugs when this happened," coroner spokesman Ed Winter tells E! News.
"Our findings indicate the cocaine in the blood was 0.03 milligrams and 0.04 milligrams/micrograms for the opiate morphine. The morphine could have been as the result of medication."
Winter says the police will use the report in the ongoing investigation.
Scott Ruffalo, a 39-year-old hairstylist and younger sibling of the Hollywood actor, died in the hospital Dec. 8 after being removed from life support. His death came one week after he was discovered in his Beverly Hills apartment with a gunshot wound to the head.
After the initial autopsy, the coroner determined that someone else had shot him but withheld a full report on the cause of death pending toxicology tests.
In the wake of the shooting, 26-year-old Shaha Mishaal Adham turned herself in to police for questioning. But she was released without charge, and her attorney, Ronald Richards, claimed Ruffalo accidentally killed himself while playing Russian roulette.
Meanwhile, after a period of mourning, Mark Ruffalo has gone back to work, directing and starring in the tenatively titled indie drama, Sympathy for Delicious, costarring Orlando Bloom, Juliette Lewis and Ruffalo's You Can Count on Me partner, Laura Linney.
"The doctor's opinion was the cause of death was a single gunshot to the head," Winter says. "The injury appears inconsistent with the history provided by witnesses and further police investigation has failed to clear up these inconsistencies. Therefore, we're ruling it a homicide until proven otherwise."

Exquisite MS62 1776 Continental Dollar1776 $1 Continental Dollar, CURENCY, Pewter MS62 NGC. Newman 1-C, W-8445, R.3. The CURENCY Continental dollars were likely struck in New York City in 1776, prior to that city's capture by the British in September of that year. The purpose behind their manufacture was to replace the one dollar Continental Currency note. Although a few silver examples are known, those were presumably made as patterns, to demonstrate the issue under ideal circumstances. Brass pieces were struck, likely as test pieces, from prototype Newman 1-A and 1-B dies, but no brass or copper examples are known for Newman 1-C.
Pewter, CURENCY, Newman 1-C
Pewter, CURENCY, Newman 1-C
Enough pewter examples of Newman 1-C have survived that the issue must have been intended to circulate. The leading services have certified a Good 4 and a VG10, along with numerous pieces in Fine and Very Fine. It is interesting that of the initial die pair, the reverse was modified first, despite the blundered CURENCY legend on the obverse. This was because an entirely new obverse die was needed to correct that error, while the appearance of the existing reverse die could be improved by reengraving the outlines of the 13 rings from dots to lines.
The present lot is a magnificent example of this famous and popular Early American type. Both sides are minimally abraded and display blended chestnut-gold and olive-green toning. The obverse is remarkably free from spots, and planchet issues are limited to a small flaw just inside the rim at 8 o'clock. The stand of the R in YOUR has shifted but remains intact. The reverse has a few light charcoal-gray spots that determine the grade but have little impact on the eye appeal, which is far superior to the typical pewter Continental dollar. The dies are rotated approximately 135 degrees clockwise from coin turn. Census: 11 in 62, 11 finer (3/11).

The following is a look at where each member of the Red Sox (the same Red Sox who are now just three games ahead of the Rays in the Wild Card race) find themselves heading into the regular season's final 16 games:
There is little to complain about when it comes to the center fielder, other than maybe his inability to call off Darnell McDonald and catch Desmond Jennings' fly ball in the 11th inning Saturday night.
His memorable season got another dose of dominance with the road trip, with Ellsbury finishing the seven games hitting .406 with seven extra-base hits and an 1.191 OPS. And just for good measure, during the trip he was 4-for-7 against lefties, boosting his average in the last 17 games against southpaws to .391.
Analysis: While Ellsbury's march toward a possible American League MVP is impressive, what will truly be important in the stretch drive his the ability to set the tone. He currently leads all leadoff hitters with a .380 on base percentage in the top spot. It has to stay that way.
We know that Pedroia has hit a rough patch, going 3-for-31 on the road trip. But the question, and concern, should be revolving around why it is happening. Typically when the second baseman goes through such a stretch it's due to some sort of physical ailment. We don't know that to be the case, although it is understood that he has to continuously deal with his foot and knee.
Part of the answer might be simple over-anxiousness, as was suggested by Red Sox manager Terry Francona when noting that Pedroia might be trying to do too much in an attempt to solve what ails the Sox. On the road trip, according to BaseballAnalytics.org, Pedroia swung and missed 15 times, 11 of which were out of the strike zone.
Analysis: Unless one of the injury issues is cropping up again, the smart money is on Pedroia finding his stroke.
Gonzalez certainly couldn't be pointed to as one of the problems on the road trip, hitting .318 with two homers and an 1.172 OPS. He faced 98 pitches during the stretch, amazingly swinging at just nine which were out of the strike zone.
Perhaps most notably, in the final few games in St. Petersburg he appeared to be taking somewhat more of a leadership role. This is what he told the Boston Herald: ""At the end of the day, we're going to win the wild card or the division. It might not be today, because we've still got a lot of games left. But maybe by the time we play them next week." Definitive stuff.
Analysis: Gonzalez appears to be proactive these days, both at the plate and int he clubhouse. It is a presence the Red Sox will not be able to do without.
Like Gonzalez, Ortiz didn't appear to be the problem on the road trip, hitting .300 with an .820 OPS. It wasn't his best stretch, but it was certainly good enough. He also continued to establish his presence against left-handers, going 3-for-8, putting his average against southpaws to .346.
His production in the cleanup spot, however, hasn't been what it was when hitting fifth, totaling a .277 average and .975 OPS at No. 4 in the order. And he did go just 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position during the trip.
Analysis: Ortiz is going to have to continue what has been a remarkably consistent campaign, especially with the uncertainty regarding Kevin Youkilis' health. An important piece of at the puzzle has become even more important.
Youkilis has bursitis in his hip, and is on his way to a sports hernia. He is also just a few weeks off a back injury that put him on the 15-day disabled list. This we know.
What we don't know is that when he returns -- presumably Tuesday -- how good Youkilis can be. It would be unrealistic to believe the third baseman could produce at his normal level, which still has him with the top OPS among American League third baseman.
Analysis: The Red Sox will need Youkilis to be better than he was upon returning Sept. 2, after which he hit just .185 with a .572 OPS. If he isn't, the middle-of-the-order dyadic changes drastically, whether it's with the No. 4 or 5 spot, taking away one of the Sox' biggest strengths this season.
Lowrie's dip in production may be due to a shoulder ailment that won't go away, but, regardless, the Red Sox could need the infielder more than ever with the uncertainty of Youkilis' health.
He went 0-for-12 on the road trip, and is hitting just .214 from the left side since returning from the disabled list Aug. 8., totaling an overall OPS of .551. He was decent in August, hitting .271, but has begun September going 1-for-20.
Analysis: Lowrie can be a presence in a lineup, as was evidenced earlier in the season when he stormed through April (.368) and the beginning of May. That's what the Red Sox need again, both at the plate and in the field.
The outfielder actually has a five-game hit streak, going 5-for-23 with three doubles, two walks and an RBI on the road trip. But whether because of the lingering effects of the hamstring injury suffered earlier in the season, or not, Crawford simply isn't giving any hint of being the dynamic player the Red Sox signed.
The 30-year-old, who is on the verge of letting Ichiro Suzuki pass him for the second-most stolen bases among active players, hasn't swiped a bag since Aug. 18 (20 games). Also, only two players in baseball have more at-bats than Crawford and fewer than the left fielder's 21 walks.
Analysis: Red Sox need Crawford to show signs of the kind of life he still hasn't put on display.
The shortstop's right shoulder is clearly bothering him, but, as both he and Terry Francona recently pointed out, the ream and the player has been able to manage it. After suffering through a few eye-opening weak throws in Toronto, Scutaro has actually executed a few quality plays in the hole between third and short during the Tampa Bay series.
Offensively, he was the brightest spot on the recent road trip, hitting .464 with an 1.214 OPS and on-base percentage of .500. He also went 6-for-12 with runners in scoring position, continuing a trend. Since August 1, Scutaro is 18-for-36 with runners in scoring position, best in the major leagues.
Analysis: The way Scutaro is playing, the Red Sox desperately need the shortstop's shoulder -- and bat -- to stay healthy.
The outfielder has seemingly weathered the storm that regularly hits rookies at some point during their first full season. After hitting .208 with a .603 OPS in August, Reddick owns a .414 batting average and 1.088 OPS in September.
He has shown to be an asset in the outfield thanks to speed and hustle, although he occasionally experiences lapses (as was evidenced in the missed cut-off man Saturday night). Reddick still rarely plays against left-handed pitching, but did manage to go 1-for-3 in his only chance on the road trip against Toronto lefty Ricky Romero.
Analysis: Reddick certainly has entrenched himself as an asset heading into the final few weeks, even leap-frogging Crawford in the batting order, hitting .343 in his 12 games in the No. 5 spot.
The Red Sox' right field situation certainly isn't the best, as is evidenced by the fact they own the third-worst OPS at the position in the majors. But between Reddick's resurgence and McDonald's work of late, it could be a whole lot worse.
McDonald got over the Mendoza Line for the first time all season Sept. 6, hardly tearing it up -- hitting .262 against lefties since Aug. 1 -- but playing his role well enough. In each of the four games he appeared in on the road trip McDonald reached base.
Analysis: While the 33-year-old doesn't figure to emerge as a bat that will get hot enough to make too big a dent in the final few weeks, he has played well enough to suggest that there will be times for him to leave a positive impression.
The catcher is just 1-for-13 in September, but is coming off an August in which he hit a respectable .250 with a .852 OPS. Since August 27, Varitek also has as many home runs as any Red Sox player (3). A concern is the backstop's .207 average against right-handers.
Varitek had hit a rut in regards to throwing runners out, having allowed 23 straight successful stolen attempts before Jose Bautista was nabbed on Sept. 8.
Analysis: Varitek has remained a valuable piece of the puzzle, and not just because of his work with Josh Beckett. Jon Lester's ERA with the veteran backstop is 2.48, while Daniel Bard's ERA is 0.89.
Saltalamacchia has shown signs that he is ready to become an everyday catcher, as his .783 OPS -- the third-best among American League backstops -- would suggest.
But since August 1 the Red Sox are just 12-14 in games in which Saltalamacchia has appeared, with the 26-year-old hitting just .214 over that span. It is a stretch that has also seen his average drop to .167 (6-for-36) against left-handers.
Analysis: As many strides as he has made this season, Saltalamacchia can still be classified as a work in progress. He has shown, however, he is reliable enough to anchor the position for the stretch drive.
He has brought more to the table than the player he was traded for (Yamaico Navarro) would have, but two recent baserunning miscues have led to some raised eyebrows. He can be considered a pinch-running weapon, having stolen bases in 26 of his last 30 attempts, but after being thrown out to end last Wednesday's game in Toronto, and then being picked off in St. Petersburg that momentum has been slowed.
Since joining the Red Sox, he is hitting .333 (despite only seeing 2.97 pitches per plate appearance). He has somewhat surprisingly been more effective against right-handed pitching with with the Sox, hitting .357.
Analysis: Aviles has the potential to be a very valuable commodity down the stretch, having played five different positions with the Sox without having made an error. Baserunning mistakes aside, the utilityman continues to prove his worth.
Monday was a good day, by all accounts, with Beckett testing his injured right ankle in a bullpen session without incident. While it has yet to be determined, it would seem the Red Sox are eyeing the starter making his next appearance against the Rays later in the week. (A welcome thought for the Sox considering he has allowed just two hits in 17 innings against Tampa Bay this season.)
Since the beginning of August, Beckett hasn't been as dominant as he was in the first half, compiling a 3.54 ERA in his last seven starts, but the team has gone 5-2 during the stretch.
Analysis: When you have a pitcher who has allowed two or lease runs in 18 of his 27 starts, that suggests he is a key element to the team's success. In this case, he might be THE key element.
The lefty didn't step up when the Red Sox needed it the most, allowing four runs in four innings Sunday against Tampa Bay. But it shouldn't be forgotten that before that start Lester had gone on a 15-game run which saw him go 8-4 with a 2.14 ERA.
The good news for the Red Sox is that Lester has typically bounced back from his bad outings in fine fashion, only allowing more than three runs once after surrendering as many as four runs the start before.
Analysis: If Lester can solve his recent first inning problems (batters are hitting .301 against him in the first), the lefty should be OK. The Red Sox at least better hope that's the case.
Before being shut down with a knee and lat ailments, the lefty was heading down a road that would most likely land him with a start in Game 3 of any playoffs series. But, as it stands now, if the lefty doesn't find his way back to the rotation those sort of postseason options might not be a reality.
It has yet to be determined what the timetable is for Bedard, but considering his 3.66 ERA in the six outings with the Red Sox, the pitcher's presence is as valued as virtually anybody on the roster.
Analysis: The Red Sox not only need Bedard to return, they need him to return as the pitcher they had witnessed up until his last start. On September 3, his last outing before being shut down, the lefty didn't throw one pitch over 90 mph. Compare that to his August 22 outing, in which he threw 15 pitches at 92 mph, and it becomes evident how important health is to the equation.
You surely know that Lackey's 6.30 ERA is the highest for any Red Sox pitcher with at least 25 starts … ever. And that opponents are hitting .304 against him, while totaling 180 hits and 11 runs in eight innings over his last two starts.
The question is whether or not Lackey can rebound to vaguely resemble a playoff pitcher. He has allowed less than four runs just once since July 27, a stretch in which the Red Sox are 4-5 in his starts.
Analysis: Using July 22 as his best second-half start -- a seven-inning, one-run outing against Seattle -- it would seem Lackey's stuff hasn't taken a drastic downturn. In that outing he sat at 92 mph (15 times) and 93 mph (7 times). It was the same case in his two September outings, in which he lived at 92 mph (46 times), while hitting 93 mph 18 occasions.
The Red Sox need the knuckleballer to get on one of his runs, with or without the 200th win.
Wakefield has had trouble throwing strikes of late, throwing just 21 of 38 first-pitch strikes in his last two starts. What's fairly impressive is that opponents are hitting just .194 in those pair of games (one a relief outing).
Analysis: It should be noted that Wakefield has allowed three runs or less in 17 of his 30 appearances this season. The issue is that the last time he accomplished the feat as a starter was back on Aug. 3. A resurgence would go a long way.
There simply hasn't been a better closer in baseball in the second half. Papelbon is one of the best runs of his career, having given up a run in his first outing after the All-Star break but nothing since.
Since July 17, Papelbon has pitched in 19 games, allowing just four hits and no runs, while striking out 23 and walking two. Opponents batting average? Just .063. Here's something else: Of the 66 batters Papelbon has faced during that stretch, 48 of them have seen first-pitch strikes.
Analysis: The biggest question is how much Francona will start extending Papelbon. He has still only pitched the eighth inning three times this season, but we may see that changing.
Yes, the reliever has given up runs in three of his last four outings. But that shouldn't take away from the overall image portrayed by Bard. If the Red Sox are to do anything, it can't.
What should be a little disconcerting is that opponents are hitting .385 against the reliever's bread and butter -- the fastball this month.
Analysis: Bard's velocity is something to keep an eye on in the coming days considering he has hit 98 mph that one time this month. That number would seem like a luxury to most, but considering the righty hit it 86 times in July and August, it is worthy discussion.

The 154th Otago Taieri A&P Show feature event was over in
just four seconds, after a particularly enthusiastic field
caught up with and swarmed all over the rabbit lure within a
few metres of the start.
• Slideshow: Otago Taieri A&P Show
Pandemonium ensued for several minutes, while various
attempts were made to retrieve the lure from the pack.
The race was restarted and was won by a 3-year-old Parson
Russell terrier called Frank.
That would be the same Frank who caused the first race to be
abandoned, when he caught the lure too quickly.
''I was pretty confident he was going to win,'' owner Regan
Hall, of Dunedin, said.
''He loves rabbits. He chases them whenever he gets the
chance and he can run really fast.''
Several thousand people enjoyed the broad range of
demonstrations, installations and exhibitions in sweltering
conditions at the Taieri Showgrounds.
Events included the Caledonian Society Highland Games,
featuring caber tossing, tossing the gumboot, dancing and
marching competitions, egg-and-spoon races and pipe bands.
There were also demonstrations by whip artists, horse riders,
the Otago Axemen's Club and Taieri Canine Training Club.
Exhibitions of paintings, photography, embroidery and even
Lego sculptures were also displayed for show.

Higher Things
What is the purpose of Higher Things? The mission of Higher Things, Inc. is to assist parents, congregations, and pastors in cultivating and promoting a Lutheran identity among youth through conferences, retreats, publications, and the internet.
What makes Higher Things unique among Lutheran youth ministry organizations? Higher Things is unique because its primary goal is to deliver the Gospel to Lutheran young people without either "dumbing down" our doctrine and theology or relying heavily on entertainment to keep their attention. Higher Things doesn't seek to create a "wow" factor. Our goal is simply to deliver Christ and Him crucified to young people, emphasizing the Theology of the Cross as opposed to a Theology of Glory. Higher Things believes sincerely that Lutheran youth actually want to be Lutheran. Therefore, we are intentionally catechetical in nature and unashamedly committed to centering our activities around Christ Jesus as He comes to us in His Word and Sacrament.
So what exactly is Higher Things? Higher Things is a lot of things, all of which seek to keep young people focused on Christ and His gifts as they grow and mature in their faith. It is parents seeking to teach their youth the Catechism. It is youth workers and volunteers seeking to reinforce that which is preached from their congregation's pulpits and confessed in their pews. It is pastors wanting to keep their Lutheran sheep Lutheran as they grow up.
What are the age requirements for participation in a Higher Things event? Higher Things Conferences are specifically designed for high school youth, but registration is open to any youth who will have been confirmed by the conference date. Exceptions to this rule may be granted by specific requests made in writing to the appropriate conference coordinator.
Please check the Higher Things website for upcoming events, to subscribe to their magazine and learn more about this LCMS-sponsored organization for youth!

Peyton Manning had no trouble clearing those two interceptions out of his head and leading a fourth-quarter comeback. ''I've been there before,'' the four-time MVP said. And no one's ever been better at it. Manning threw for a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter Sunday, rallying the Denver Broncos to a 31-23 victory that left him 8-0 against the Cincinnati Bengals, who couldn't hold on when they thought they might finally have him. Instead, Manning led the 48th game-winning drive of his career, moving ahead of Dan Marino for the NFL record. He completed all six of his passes in the final quarter, when Denver (5-3) got a firsthand idea of how he responds to the biggest moments. ''He is special at it,'' coach John Fox said. Especially when he's playing the Bengals (3-5), who have failed every time they've faced him. Manning threw three touchdown passes Sunday, giving him five games against Cincinnati with at least three TDs. His two second-half interceptions - one in the e...

100 days of no processed foods - all the meal planning is done for you. This is Pretty awesome considering I dislike processed food.
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes. A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food. Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food. A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function. Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys. Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body. Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them). Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility. Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics. Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts. Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body. ***** I got this in an email and just pinned a random google-generated image of an avocado for the sake of pinning. Clicking the picture won't take you to the page this info is from.
I gave up chocolate so this really is good to note. I found my chocolate cravings were taking the place of healthy options and became addictive.

After one incredible performance, I stood in a big crowd, music still ringing in my ears. He appeared out of nowhere, standing two feet awaydark, tall, eyes aflame. I pretended to look away but in fact saw only him, laughing out loud and smoking cigarettes, eyes like a watchful tiger.
The next afternoon I was north of the city, leaving a subway station. There he was, walking in. We glimpsed each other through a pushing stream of commuters. We smiled.
For two weeks, in the chaotic jungle of Kolkata I ran into him everywhereon the street, at concerts, in a bookshop. Though we would smile about the recurring coincidence we never stopped to speak except once when we mumbled our names. Words, it seemed, would only mess things up.
But then he vanished. I didn't know a damn thing about him and here I was scanning for him everywhere. After three weeks I felt like a fool. Beautiful strangers fade away, I told myself. Move on.
Five months later I flew to New York from India for a job interview. When it was over I decided to stay, to attend an all-night Indian concert in a church uptown. I wondered how I was going to stay awake. I was so jet-lagged from my journey that I felt like I was floating, barely held down by my feet.
By 3 a.m., every note lulling me further into dreams, I decided fresh air might help. Outside, I half-listened to a friend's chatter, feeling listless and worn out. Then I heard the spark of a Zippo. I looked over and froze.
Those tiger-eyes. That vanished stranger. I was suddenly wide awake.
He walked over and we stared in disbelief. I went to his place a week later. We tried to converse but finally it was all too much and the tiger pounced. He kissed me hard, gently touching me everywhere. We undressed each other shyly, not quite believing this was real. I wanted him so badlyour eyes connected and we lunged forward, hungrily searching, exploring, connecting with force.
Later, words came easier than ever before. Within months we moved in together. We're still together. I'm still amazed by how it went.
