Huang Bowen (simplified Chinese: 黄博文; traditional Chinese: 黃博文; pinyin: Huáng Bówén; born 13 July 1987) is a Chinese footballer who currently plays for Guangzhou Evergrande in the Chinese Super League. He currently holds the record as the youngest ever goalscorer in top tier Chinese football aged just 16 years and 317 days.
Club career[edit]
Huang Bowen started his football career with Beijing Guoan where he progressed to their first team in the 2004 season. A very promising youngster, he made his debut for the club on 26 May 2004 in a league game against Shenyang Ginde that saw Beijing win 4-1 as well as also seeing Huang score his first goal aged just sixteen years old.[1] By the end of his debut season, he would play in six league games, though these were often as a substitute he would gradually start to establish himself within the senior team.[1] In the subsequent seasons, he would continue to make substitute appearances and would gradually established himself as a regular for the club yet it wasn't until the 2007 season that saw Huang start to establish himself as an integral member of the Beijing squad and help them finish as runner-ups in the league.[2]
Huang joined K-League club Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors on 10 February 2011 and he would go on to make his debut in a league game against Chunnam Dragons on 6 March 2011 in a 1-0 defeat.[3] This was followed by his first goal for the club in an AFC Champions League game against Arema FC on 6 March 2011 in a 4-0 victory.
On 7 July 2012, Huang then transferred to Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande.[4] He was a vital part of Guangzhou's winning run in the 2013 AFC Champions League as the club became only the second Chinese side to win a continental title.
International career[edit]
After his impressive performances for Beijing Guoan, Huang was called up to the Chinese national team for a friendly against Jordan on 25 May 2008 which resulted in a 2-0 win.[5] Despite his age and inexperience, then manager Vladimir Petrović would let Huang play in a crucial 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification game with only one cap to his name in a home game against Qatar, China lost 1-0 and were essentially knocked out of the tournament.[6] While he did not take part any further in China's remaining unsuccessful qualification games, he would return to the national team when he played in several friendlies and the 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification under caretaker head coach Yin Tiesheng.

Florida Keys Solo in 17'
Here are a couple videos of my solo cruise around the southern Keys. I had a great time and learned some of the pros and cons of solo cruising.
Overall it was a fabulous learning experience and definitely an adventure since all I had done before is a few overnights aboard.
For some reason, the videos won't embed in the forum. You can just click the links though!
Re: Florida Keys Solo in 17'
Great videos. Thanks for sharing. Maybe next time you should try the gulf side route which is great for a small boat.
Re: Florida Keys Solo in 17'
Really enjoyed your vid. Nice to see what fun you can have in a small sailboat.

LIMA — Lima Memorial Health System received an American Heart Association accreditation and celebrated Friday with a lunch.
Emergency medical service chiefs enjoyed a lunch and learned about the American Heart Association's Mission: Lifeline Heart Attack Receiving Center Accreditation, sponsored by the association and the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care.
The accreditation recognizes centers that meet or exceed quality of care measures for people experiencing the most severe type of heart attack, ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), in which blood flow is completely blocked to a portion of the heart.
In the region, St. Rita's Medical Center also has the receiving center accreditation.
Lima Memorial underwent numerous on-site reviews by accreditation specialists from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care. As a result, Lima Memorial will display the American Heart Association Mission: Lifeline Heart Attack Receiving Center Accreditation certification mark.
"Lima Memorial is thoroughly committed to providing our patients the highest quality cardiac care centered on current scientific research," said Deb Kill, Chest Pain Center coordinator at Lima Memorial. "The American Heart Association's accreditation has highlighted our accomplishments and will improve the overall treatment and care for our patients."
Through its accreditation program, the American Heart Association hopes to significantly reduce cardiac death by teaching the public to recognize and react to early symptoms of a heart attack, reduce the time it takes to receive lifesaving treatment and increase the accuracy and effectiveness of treatment administered.
The Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care is an international not-for-profit organization committed to leading the fight to eliminate heart disease as the No. 1 cause of death worldwide. SCPC focuses on transforming cardiovascular care by assisting facilities in their effort to create communities of excellence that bring together quality, cost and patient satisfaction.

George F. Will: What's in a name?
Amanda Blackhorse, a Navajo who successfully moved a federal agency to withdraw trademark protections from the Washington Redskins because it considers the team's name derogatory, lives on a reservation where Navajos root for the Red Mesa High School Redskins. She opposes this name; the Native Americans who picked and retain it evidently do not.
The Patent and Trademark Office acted on a 1946 law banning trademarks that "may disparage" persons. "May" gives the agency latitude to disregard evidence regarding how many people actually feel disparaged, or feel that others should feel disparaged. Blackhorse speaks of "the majority of Native American people who have spoken out on this." This would seem implausible even if a 2004 poll had not found that 90 percent of Native Americans were not offended by the Redskins' name. A 2013 AP-GfK poll showed that 79 percent of Americans of all ethnicities opposed changing it, and just 18 percent of "nonwhite football fans" favored changing it.
The federal agency acted in the absence of general or Native American revulsion about "Redskins," and probably because of this absence. Are the Americans who are paying attention to this controversy comfortable with government saying, in effect, that if people are not offended, they should be, so government must decide what uses of language should be punished?
In today's regulatory state, agencies often do pretty much as they please, exercising discretion unconstrained by law.
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley notes that in 2004 the Federal Election Commission held that the anti-George W. Bush movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" did not need to be regulated as an "electioneering communication" but in 2008 held that the hostile "Hillary: The Movie" was such a communication. In the regulatory state, the rule of law is the rule that law barely limits regulators' discretion.
Although the death penalty clearly was not considered a "cruel and unusual" punishment when the Eighth Amendment proscription of such punishments was adopted, perhaps society's "evolving standards of decency" have brought this punishment under the proscription. Standards of decency do evolve: No sports team launched today would select the name "Redskins." Although Thomas Sowell is correct that "some people are in the business of being offended, just as Campbell is in the business of making soup," the fact that some people are professionally indignant does not mean offense may be given promiscuously to others.
The name "Redskins" is more problematic than, say, that of the Chicago Blackhawks or Cleveland Indians presumably because "Redskins" refers to skin pigmentation. People offended by this might be similarly distressed if they knew that "Oklahoma" is a compound of two Choctaw words meaning "red" and "people." Blackhorse, however, has two larger objections.
She says "someone" once told her that teams' mascots "are meant to be ridiculed," "to be toyed with," "to be pushed around and disrespected" and "have stuff thrown at them." She should supplement the opinion of that someone with information from persons more knowledgeable. But she considers "any team name that references Native Americans" an injurious "appropriation of our culture." Has an "appropriation" been committed by the University of Utah and Florida State University even though they have the approval of the respective tribes for their teams' nicknames, the Utes and Seminoles?

Microsoft and Icahn Rebuffed By Yahoo
By Michael J. de la Merced
Yahoo has rejected a renewed proposal by Microsoft to buy its Internet search business, this time under a plan that would have left the rest of Yahoo in the hands of the investor Carl Icahn.
The proposal was made Friday evening by Icahn and Microsoft's chief executive, Steven Ballmer, and rejected over the weekend by Yahoo, which called Icahn and Microsoft an "odd and opportunistic alliance."
The new approach, and Yahoo's response, could escalate the level of animosity between the parties, two months after Microsoft withdrew a $47.5 billion takeover offer.
Microsoft had said last week that it would be open to making another offer to buy part or all of Yahoo if its board were ousted. Icahn, who holds about 5 percent of Yahoo shares, is waging a campaign to unseat Yahoo's board.
Icahn and Ballmer gave Yahoo 24 hours to make a decision, Yahoo said in a statement. After a meeting of four to five hours with its financial and legal advisers, Yahoo's board decided to reject the offer.
"It is ludicrous to think that our board could accept such a proposal," the Yahoo chairman, Roy Bostock, said.
"While this type of erratic and unpredictable behavior is consistent with what we have come to expect from Microsoft," he added, "we will not be bludgeoned into a transaction that is not in the best interests of our stockholders."
Yahoo reiterated that it was open to a sale of the whole company at $33 a share, a price that Microsoft had once offered but in recent weeks has spurned.
"Yahoo's board points out that a transaction to acquire the whole company would be much more straightforward and involve far less risk than the new proposal or any similar alternative," Yahoo said in its statement on Saturday.
Nonetheless, the company also said it would accept a sale of its search business, but on better terms than the ones Microsoft was now offering.
A spokeswoman for Microsoft declined to comment.
Yahoo has entered a search advertising partnership with Google, which it could break by paying a fee. The company's persistent rejection of Microsoft's advances raises the pressure on Yahoo's chief executive, Jerry Yang, to show that he can improve the company's performance.
Yahoo said the proposal by Icahn and Microsoft contained "a number of improvements" from Microsoft's previous effort to buy Yahoo's search business for $1 billion and to take a 16 percent stake in the company for an additional $8 billion.
But it criticized some apparent aspects of the plan, like a move to sell Yahoo's Asian operations.
"The board believes Microsoft and Mr. Icahn are overstating the value their search and restructuring proposal would deliver to Yahoo stockholders and are substantially understating the risks," Yahoo said in its statement. "Yahoo noted that a transaction that would separate the company's search and display businesses is an undertaking of great complexity."

NOTE: This is a guest blog post by Cassandra Schaffa, the Director of Festival Operations at Women's Voices Now.
As a Director at a startup not-for-profit organization focused on giving voice to women, I find that our projects are a tougher sell than those of a well established organization with a selling-this-many-products-feeds-that-many-people model. People are inclined to support and donate to causes with immediate and tangible results. We give for that fuzzy feeling we get when we know we just fed a starving child or made it possible for a woman to start her own business. But at Women's Voices Now (WVN), our mission is more abstract: To give voice to the struggle for civil, economic and political rights. In seeking support for our cause, I am often faced with questions like: What does giving voice mean? Why is it important? How does one give voice? What kind of results does it produce?
In our first year, WVN is hosting Women's Voices from the Muslim World: A Short-Film Festival giving voice to women of all faiths living in Muslim-majority countries and Muslim women living as minorities around the world. So there's the how: giving voices by highlighting filmic stories by and/or about women, in this case, women of the Muslim world. The how is easy, but to explain why giving voice is important is a challenge. For this I find inspiration in Laila.
Laila and the Garbage Man (Dir. Kefaya Diab) is a short fiction film submitted to the WVN Festival from Amman, Jordan. In the film, Laila, a young school girl, feels invisible and unimportant. She has no friends, has no ambition in school and is hardly recognized by her teacher. In her world, she'd rather play dead than continue to go unnoticed. Until the day her garbage man took a moment to ask about her day.
That is all it took: One person letting Laila know she was noticed. One person who cared if she was sick, who asked how she was doing in school, who gave her a platform to be heard. With the garbage man always on her mind, Laila begins actively participating in school, engaging with her peers, and looking forward to each day. She does these things in order to have good news to share with her garbage man, and in turn, she reaps the benefits of having more confidence in herself, success in school and recognition from her teacher and peers.
This is one thing giving voice does: It encourages and supports those who think no one notices them, who don't think they exist in the eyes of the world and thus can't find much reason to act. Giving voice promotes productivity, communication and peace. It allows women to seek help and support, to be self-sufficient, to be leaders, to be their own heroines and to be the heroines of their community. These are the tangible results of giving women a voice.
Encouraging women in art, business, politics and school ensures a better future for everyone. Although Women's Voices Now does not directly feed children or provide women with a business model (both amazing causes that WVN supports and works closely with), WVN is indirectly ensuring that these projects will be met and perpetuated by an informed world ready to accept women as heroines and change-makers instead of mere victims, and accept children as opportunity instead of merely hungry mouths to feed. In a nut shell, WVN's platforms are providing a venue for a much needed dialogue. A dialogue that educates the world, inspires the individual and promotes the invaluable work being done by and for the women featured. By organizing the Festival, WVN is not only telling these women that we, as an organization, are listening, but through our on-line platform and the physical incarnation of the Festival at the Los Angeles Film School March 10-12, 2011, we're allowing the whole world to listen, watch, discuss and contribute to the fight for global equality for women.

Thanks for sharing.
Before women and children can ask for what they need and want and speak out against all the atrocities being done against them they obviously have to have a voice but I really think a lot of them don't speak out of fear of the immediate impact they will have on their existence and violence will likely follow

Nancy laments: Editorial suggests disqualification of 80% of Philippine population from Senate race
My first reaction was to simply ignore the Inquirer's Valentine's Day editorial, which was devoted to me, even if it was hurtful.
But I decided to write this letter after I asked myself: "What have I done to deserve such fury? Could it be the prejudice of the editorial writer against my father?"
The editorial concluded that I am "seriously unqualified to be in the Senate" because I am not a lawyer like my father or a doctor like my mother, and I have not held any elective office before, or run a company or an NGO. With such criteria, the Inquirer has disqualified from public office 80 percent of the population.
The editorial also concluded that my education at the University of the Philippines has not equipped me to deal with national issues. The inescapable conclusion is that a UP education is inadequate in preparing its graduates for higher office. Suddenly I feel doubly prejudiced because of my UP background.
But I find this line very absurd: "Whatever one's view may be of Cory Aquino's preparedness for the presidency, the fact is her husband was assassinated; only then did she take up the cause. Given that Vice President Binay is very much alive, what is his daughter's compelling reason for wanting national office?"
Is the Inquirer saying that I cannot stand by my father, while he is still alive, in his cause to protect and sustain President Aquino's gains and improve the lives of the people?
And is it not ungallant to drag Tita Cory's name just to belabor the point that I am unqualified for the office I seek?
After my mother's term as Makati mayor, I chose to become a wife and mother to my four children. I also became active in several charitable foundations providing education and livelihood assistance to the youth. I later established an orphanage. Over the years I gained an insight into the needs of children, and it has been my mission to work for their welfare.
Being the Vice President Jejomar Binay's assistant gave me ample hands-on knowledge on how government works. I gained experience in dealing with the concerns of our people. I believe this is important in public service. A person may have the right diplomas and professional background, but if one does not know the needs of the people, then she will not be an effective public servant.
I was reluctant to run for the Senate because I was concerned about the effects of a high-profile role on my children. But I realized that it's not enough that I just take care of my kids. We are part of a bigger community. They cannot have a better future if we adults do not start laying the foundation for a better Philippines.
I prefer to leave my fate to the democratic process. The voice of the people will hopefully be stronger than the editorials.
Lastly, one of the Inquirer columnists described me condescendingly as a "caregiver." I am proud to be a caregiver to my mother. She took care of us and shielded us from the hard and tough times of martial law, when government was harassing my father. She is the source of our strength.
I feel an obligation to show her my love in her senior years. I guess I'm just being human and Filipino.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Scandinavia Venice
This rating is too high
Hated it!! 0 starsI booked the hotel through priceline, which I have always had great luck when seeking hotels - until now. The should call this hotel "Hotel Scandalnavia. The location wasn't bad - once you found the place - but the hotel is in desperate need of refurbishing - like immediately! I've read the other reviews where Americans are called "too picky" about accomadations and Europeans find the hotel "charming". Well, please provide the name of the charm school, as I do not what to send my child to the school. Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY!!
Thankyou for the directions!!
The instructions in a previous review were excellent - I would recomend them to anyone looking for the hotel. The location is superb, away from the crowds but only 5 minutes walk to Rialto bridge and St Marks Square. Our 4th floor room was hard work after a days site seeing but a reasonable size with a huge bathroom. Breakfasts were fine and staff were very friendly. Only problem was lack of hotwater in the mornings - apparantly it struggles to reach the 4th floor! Definately good value for money.
Comfortable, not elegant. Small rooms and crowded lobby
The Tulip Inn Scandinavia is a nice little Hotel. It is in Venice, and therefore very expensive for its modest offerings, but the Hotel is comfortable and in a pretty good location.
There are no elevators, and Yes, we were on the top floor. Getting the kitchen sink up all of those stairs was a little annoying, but my calf muscles grew stronger as a result of the climb. And besides, we paid good money to climb alot of stairs on several of the old towers in Italy, so how could we complain about a climb to our room?
Anyway...this Hotel will not blow you away, but it was certainly satisfactory. We needed a little elegance, so after 1 night we moved to The Metropole on The Grand Canal for only a few dollars more per night.
Best value for the location!!
I stayed at this three star hotel for four nights last September - the staff was very helpful and freindly...rooms were nicely furnished... if you go ask for a room with a view of the campo (it's relaxing just to watch the locals in the early morning in campo santa maria formosa.....
for the price you pay and being only a 2 minute walk to Piazza San Marco this hotel can't be beat.....and as for the some of the other reviews - "getting lost in venice is just half the fun - lose the map and explore!"
How to get there
We were very happy with this hotel. The staff were helpful, the room was large, clean and had some character. There was no view from our window, but that wasn't a problem. To find the hotel, get on a vaparetto (waterbus) to Rialto. Climb up the steps from the Vaparetto stop until you are at the end of the bridge. Walk away from the Grand Canal until you come to a small square. Turn left and walk past the statue. On the right is a passageway with a neon sign above it. go along this passageway and over the bridge at the end. Continue straight ahead (or as near as poss). This is Salizada San Lio. Walk right to the end and turn left. Cross over the bridge and follow the path to the left. The hotel is on the opposite side of the square. Be aware. If you have never been to Venice before, the streets would be called alleyways anywhere else. In some places you will struggle to pass someone coming the other way. Unless you have serious problems reading maps, I suggest you get one as soon as you arrive otherwise you are likely to get seriously lost.
A venetian delight
Well..... I am not sure I can top the remarks from our friends from the other side of the Atlantic.!! I have just returned from Venice after a 4 night stay at the Scandanavia and found the staff to be helpful and couteous, our room was on the top floor (the one with the balconcy previously mentioned) quite honestly what do people expect to see in Venice?. It is a City with many old properties and anyone who has researched their trip to Venice will appreciate the environment they are going to. Surely looking out onto roof top Venetian buildings is much better than looking out onto International Drive Florida full of tack and fast food eateries! Venice as a whole is fairly tricky to get around but I thought the position,decor and atmosphere of the hotel reflected Venice down to a T. A truely memorable trip, for all the right reasons, and I would definately go back to this hotel and also recommend it.
Hotel Scandinavia - a defence!
Having already booked a stay in this hotel, I read the reviews and as a result was dreading the visit. However, I think the bad reviews were written by people not familiar with Venice. It is a unique city asnd you cant compare it to London or New York. I found it easily, but noone should head for Venice without a good map! also you cannot expect lifts in ancient palaces built in a unique way.I found the square outside the hotel charming and typically Venetian. We were greeted by the utterly charming and helpful manager and �ssisted to our fourth floor room by an equally charming porter. Having snuck a peek at other rooms, we probably had one of the less good rooms but still it was full of character , spacious by Venetian standards and a wonderful side view of the square and directly onto the calle below so you could watch the world go by. The bathroom was large and well equipped.1The breakfast room is small for the size of the hotel leading to a bit of chaos if you go down late, but the quality is above average for Venice with wonderfully fresh hot rolls and sweet croissants and cereals in abundance.The hotel is in a wonderful location with a wine shop, supermarket and excellent pizza takeaway ( rare for Venice) nearby. The area is full of local colour and will give you a good flavour of " real life" in Venice.Both San Marco and the Rialto are within ten minutes walk maximum and the Fondamenta Nove ( to get the waterbus to Murano) within 15-20 minutes walk , a fabulously central location hard to beat. You are in "real Venice" away from the tourist traps,but everything is so accessible.I would definitely come back here - value for money as well during off season
More Like Hotel Scandal!!!
In spite of the fact the directions we were given by hotel staff to locate the hotel by "searching" on foot 10 minutes from San Marco Square we did with the help of others find it. When we arrived with our reservation form, we were told the hotel was booked and they were moving us to another part of the hotel (only a 2 minute walk). The hotel was nearby however, a key is needed to enter the basement level of the hotel. After you walk up 2 flights of stairs you will need another key to open a gate to the main floor. Once on the main floor, forget about a front desk - there is none. You are led to your room wich by the way unlocks using a basic skelaton key. From entry door to the "main floor" you are looking at 52 steps in total. When I returned to front desk clerk of the Hotel Scandinavia to explain accomodations were not acceptable, she was very rude. I would highly reccomend DO NOT stay or book a vacation at this property!! I would be glad to provide to you real photos of the Hotel Scandinavia, the hotel we were sent to as well as room pictures. I would be glad to answer any additonal questions you may have. Hopefully I can spare someone else from the disapointing and heartbreaking vacqtion to Venice that I encountered.
Perfectly acceptable hotel
Stayed in the Scandinavia for 4 nights in December 2002. It was difficult to find, but only because everything is difficult to find in Venice !Our room was on the 1st floor and decorated in typical Venetian style. Whilst some guests might find this 'drab' or old fashioned, I thought it was a hotel full of character. The location was fabulous - right between San Marco and the Rialto bridge. Breakfast wasn't up to much but we have come to expect that in Italy. Staff very friendly for the most part. Would definitely stay here again.
An affair to forget
Despite what the website claims, the hotel is not close to Piazza San Marco, nor do most of the rooms look out onto the Campo Santa Maria Formosa. It is, in fact, quite easy to get lost trying to find the hotel. Location aside, the hotel has clearly seen better days. The furnishings in the public areas were somewhat dingy, with faded carpetting and rickety staircases (note: no elevator, a problem for rooms on the fourth floor walk-up). The room I was given was purely functional, and a pleasant balcony overlooked tiled rooftops but little else. The staff were largely aloof, with the exception of the night watchman. There is nothing that would suggest this place had served as Othello and Desdemona's romantic meeting grounds. It is more like a middle class boarding house.

IRVING (Texas): American Jason Dufner fired a one-under 69 to keep a one-stroke lead after the third round of the PGA Byron Nelson Championship but Vijay Singh and Jason Day are among those hot on his heels.
Dufner completed 54 holes on eight-under 202 at the US$6.5mil event, one stroke ahead of compatriots J.J. Henry and Dicky Pride and Australian Day with Fiji's Vijay on 204 and Aussie Marc Leishman and Swede Jonas Blixt on 205.
Dufner had a bogey at the par-4 third, answered with a 10-foot birdie putt at the par-four sixth and a 14-foot birdie putt at the par-four 14th to lead as he had after 36 holes on a day where nine players led or shared the lead.
"It was a stress-free round for me," Dufner said. "I was in position a lot off the tee, which enabled me to be aggressive with iron shots and didn't have too many must-make par putts."
Dufner defeated Ernie Els in a playoff three weeks ago to win at New Orleans for his first career PGA title in 163 attempts, snapping a career win drought that including squandering a late lead at last year's PGA Championship.
"It was a tough thing for me to get over that hurdle," Dufner said. "I'll have those thoughts in the back of my mind and encourage myself to think about those things and try and close this out."
Day opened the front nine and back nine with birdies and also birdied the two par-fives, the seventh and 16th holes. But a bogey at 18 after missing a short putt kept him from matching Dufner atop the leaderboard, settling for a 67.
"I played great," Day said. "It was tough conditions out there today with the wind, but I felt like I was trying to stay as patient as possible. Got away with a few shots out there, but overall very happy with how the day went."
Day, who won the 2010 Nelson at TPC Four Seasons, expects a shootout for the crown.
"Tomorrow is going to be tough," Day said. "There are a lot of extremely outstanding golfers up there on top of the leaderboard. I just have to stay disciplined within myself.
"The guy that obviously makes the least amount of mistakes out there is going to win. That's just how things are going to go. So I feel like I'm in a good spot."
Vijay, 49, fired a 66 to stand two strokes back, a bogey at 18 dropping him back after an eagle at the 16th and a birdie at the 17th as he bids for his first PGA title since the 2008 Deutsche Bank Championship.
"I haven't been in this position for a while," Vijay said.
"I've been looking forward to this. I've worked really hard, I haven't stopped working.
"My game has been coming around, but there wasn't any sign of scoring and this is the first day where I kind of went out there and scored well." — AFP

Re: the sugar scoop. The Moody 425 I saw did have a sugar scoop, but I don't think they all do. The others I have seen are can be mounted boarded the back, but with use of a ladder, not with built-in steps. (Forgive me for not knowing the exact terms - I hope that makes sense.)
Your top list of boats for our purpose is very interesting. Right now, our working list (which I admit fully is the product of very incomplete research, and even less hands-on experience) is:
Catalina 42
Catalina 40
Moody 376
Moody 425
Tartan 42
Tayana 37 (*if* we could find one of the rare examples in which the quarter berth is enclosed, and only with fiberglass decks)
Tayana 42 (cc only, fiberglass decks)
I have been lurking on Sailnet for some time. So I will leave you to imagine where we might have gotten the idea to put Catalina 42 and 40 on our list.
I like the idea of looking further into the Sabres, but I think the 42's run a little too expensive for us. (Unless we wait an additional year, which we might if there's a good reason, I think our budget will max out in the 120,000 to 130,000 range.) Would you recommend the 38' also, or the 42' specifically?
I really want to put the Passport on our list. But I think teak decks are a deal breaker for us.
I am not sure about the Benetaus. I know this is shallow, but I think the Catalinas are better looking and I haven't noticed any features on the Benes that make me prefer them over Catalina. And there are so many 42' Catalinas on the market at any given time, that I don't think we'll have a shortage of opportunities if we decide to search out a production boat.
I doubt you will pick up a Tayana 42 that is decent in that price range. I would cross that off my list. You can pick up a very nice 37, but that thing is a slug. However, she has a very sea kindly motion in a storm and will take you anywhere and have gone everywhere. They do make them with a 2 cabin, I have seen them. But many are quarters. I would not get a boat with a open quarter with a kid. Funny, but out slip neighbor has a 10yo girl that lives aboard. He had a Han Christian 37(ish) with open quarter. He sold it to get a cabin for her and got a Moody (the one I referenced).
The C400 may be off your list too. They are more expensive boats than 42s in general. In fact, I think the 400 is actually longer and beamier than the 42, but for some reason I do not understand, they call it the 400. Good for me, because I tell all the marinas that charge by the foot I am 40 feet long (snicker).
The 42 is a relatively good performer. We have several down here that race in our beer can/buoy races. The 400 will out run her, but there is not a huge difference. The nice thing about the 42 is that there are a LOT of boats and you are more likely to get a deal on one. I alos like the very spacious 'garage' on teh 42 which is accessible from the galley and the midships head. It is a VERY comfortable boat and depending on the age, you may have a washer dryer in the forward head! Nice boat (but mine is better... hehehe... that was a joke)
There simply are not many 400's for sale at any given time (MK II). There are only 8 C400 Mk II's for sale right now, with two of them sales pending. So you would only have 6 to choose from and there has not been much flexibility in the prices... so I have heard. I know the one that is in Lake Texoma (that is where I came from) and really does not have much on it, and is going to have to be trucked anyways as it is on a lake. If you can find a good deal on a 400 - JUMP ON IT! I think you will be happy with the resale and market for her.
I would really have a problem with a boat that does not have a rub rail. We often find ourselves having to bounce off of pilings in a good current to get the boat docked. That could get expeisive without a rub rail!! I can ask my neighbor what he thinks about his Moody if you want and what his concerns are??
Tartan 42 - Great boat if not epoxy. Good performer. Good following. But you may have issues with any factory support. WIth Beneteau, Hunter, and Catalina (esp Catalina), the factory is right there and knows those boats and there are many examples of having parts and retros on very old models. Check the threads here. THeir customer service is wonderful. I understand that Hunter is too.
There you go. Hope I am not throwing too much info at you too quickly. Talk with other sailors here about getting a boat with kids without a sugar scoop (for cruising). I think it will be a big irritation.

On the Move with Wilma Grupe
Fighting cancer, growing stronger
Though Wilma Grupe cites her battle with breast cancer as the toughest experience she ever had, she says it gave her the opportunity to grow in many ways. By sticking to her faith, Grupe, 57, was able to see her triumph as a chance for a fresh start.
Occupation: Partner and general manager of The Wilson Group.
Volunteer activities: First Friday, Leadership Corpus Christi.
Family: Husband of 38 years, Otis Grupe; son Russell Grupe, 32; daughter Allison Busenlehner, 31.
Hometown: Banquete.
Interests: Riding motorcycles, fishing, reading, spending time with my granddaughters.
How I discovered I had breast cancer: An annual mammogram detected my breast cancer. The area was too small to detect with a self-exam.
When diagnosed: September 2002.
Type of treatments: I was fortunate in not having to take chemotherapy or radiation. Through the process of three lumpectomies and finally a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction, I have been cancer free for three years.
During treatment, I maintained a positive outlook by: Knowing I am a child of God and that I would never be alone in this.
Most difficult aspect of treatment: Because my treatment was surgical, the waiting period after each surgery for the pathology reports was the most difficult. Hearing three times that we needed to do it again was grueling but finally successful.
One thing I know now that I didn't know before treatment: There is life abundantly after cancer!
Advice I'd give someone newly diagnosed: Do your homework. Research your type of cancer and make informed decisions. At times, the information will seem overwhelming, but persevere. It is your body and your life!
Favorite worthy cause: First Friday. The education and services they provide for breast cancer awareness are second to none.
Advice to a teenager: Keep looking forward - the best is yet to come.
Words lived by: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding." - Proverbs 3:5
What drives me crazy: A poor work ethic.
Most embarrassing moment: After I had reconstructive surgery, the tissue expander valve in my chest set off an airport scanner.

'Twas the Night Before Henrico's Christmas
(Written by Henrico County Public Relations & Media Services Director Tamra McKinney and presented by County Manager Virgil Hazelett (a.k.a. Santa Claus, pictured) during the Henrico Business Holiday Breakfast Dec. 8.)
'Twas the night before Christmas, a quarter past eight;
The traffic in Short Pump was making me late.
Cars filled with presents were leaving the mall,
As if there had been no recession at all.
Of course I knew better, it had been a tough year;
What the future would bring still wasn't quite clear.
Had we hit the bottom? Were we on the mend?
Had we finally started an upward trend?
I had far more questions than answers this night,
And the longer I sat at that traffic light,
The more I questioned the economy's health,
With rising foreclosures and dwindling wealth.
By the time I got home, I was depressed.
My mind was in turmoil, my body was stressed.
These past three years had been hard to take,
And our business community needed a break.
I pulled in the driveway and turned off the car,
And I noticed the front door was slightly ajar.
I ran into the house, and what did I see?
Santa Claus sitting there waiting for me.
"Merry Christmas, Virgil" he said with a smile,
"We need to sit down and talk for a while.
Don't let this recession give you the blues;
Focus instead on Henrico's good news.
Sales taxes are up, hotel taxes are too,
Unemployment is down in Henrico, it's true.
Innsbrook's mixed-use will be great when it's done,
Plus the recent expansion of Capitol One.
Wellaware Systems will relocate here,
And Elephant Auto's expanding this year.
Zeller and Gmelin's move to Audubon Drive,
And Smurfit-Stone's new plant kept more jobs alive.
Snag-a-job's expanding and adding more staff,
All of this should give you reason to laugh!
This year's been a struggle from coast to coast,
But Henrico's still far better off than most."
The thing about Santa, he tends to be right,
And I had new perspective on Henrico's plight.
Yes the past three years had been really rough,
But the tough get going when the going gets tough.
Our business community will persevere,
When the economic forecast is still unclear.
We'll stick to our plan and stay on the track
Until we're out of the red and back in the black.
So as we balance our budgets and cut every cost,
Let's not allow the good news to get lost.
It's easy to focus on things that go wrong
And forget who we are and what makes us strong.
We are Henrico, and as Santa would say,
"You can't go wrong with the Henrico way."
We've gotten this far and we'll get through the rest;
That's what makes Henrico's businesses the best.
As you leave here today, keep Santa alive
In your hearts and your minds, and together we'll thrive.
May your holidays be filled with magic and cheer;
Merry Christmas to all, and a Happy New Year!

More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet

Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.
All will happen in Monkey Kingdom, the eighth film in nine years from Disneynature, Disney's wildlife documentary outlet. > Read more.

Norton, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - Ryan Palmer fired an 8-under 63 on Friday to grab a 2-stroke lead after the opening round of the Deutsche Bank Championship.
Palmer, who has three PGA Tour wins, finished second at the Humana Challenge and again at the Honda Classic earlier this year.
Local favorite Keegan Bradley is alone in second place after carding a 65 on Friday. Chesson Hadley, 2010 runner-up Jason Day and 2011 winner Webb Simpson share third place at minus-5.
Ian Poulter, who shared ninth here last year, posted a 4-under 67 at TPC Boston. He was joined in sixth place by Carl Pettersson, Bill Haas, Russell Knox and Jordan Spieth.
Defending champion Henrik Stenson opened with a 1-under 70 and is tied for 26th after one round. Among those he is tied with is world No. 1 Rory McIlroy, who birdied three of his first four holes on Friday. However, McIlroy mixed two birdies and three bogeys over his final six holes to slide to minus-1.
Palmer played the back nine first on Friday and stumbled to a bogey on the 10th as he drove into a native area. He erased that mistake with a 13-foot birdie putt on the 11th.
The 37-year-old made an 8-footer for birdie on No. 12 to get into red figures. After a pair of pars, Palmer converted back-to-back birdie putts at 15 and 16 from inside seven feet.
Palmer stuffed his approach inside two feet on No. 17. After he kicked that in for birdie, Palmer 2-putted for birdie on the par-5 18th for his fourth straight birdie.
Around the turn, Palmer played his third at the par-5 second to seven feet. He made that for birdie to move to minus-6. At the fifth, he rolled in a 23-foot birdie chance to grab the lead.
Palmer parred three in a row from the sixth. He capped his round with a birdie putt from 18 feet out on the ninth, his last.
"I've had that good feeling (with my putter) since the Open Championship. I took a small tip from (Shawn) Stefani, who was talking about his putting changes. I took a little something from that," admitted Palmer, who needed just 21 putts in his opening round.
"It's been great the past couple of months. My short putting has been phenomenal, I felt. I'm making a lot more putts inside six feet. When you get the putts going from 15 (feet) and in, especially for birdie, it makes for good days."
Early in the day, Bradley got off to a quick start with birdies at one and three. After a pair of pars, he converted an 11-footer for birdie at the sixth.
The 2011 PGA Champion made it two in a row as his third at the par-5 seventh stopped inside two feet and he kicked that in for birdie.
After nine pars in a row, Bradley moved to minus-5 with a 15-foot birdie effort on No. 17. He closed with an up-and-down birdie from a greenside bunker at the 18th.
"It was a battle mentally with all that is going on, so I'm proud of the way I hung in there today. I think I've gotten to the point where it's going to help," said Bradley, who grew up in Vermont, of playing in front of friends and family. "My first couple of years, I tried to play too well. Now, I'm kind of embracing it and today was a good example of that."
NOTES: Palmer had two putts outside of 13 feet all day, and he made both for birdie ... Palmer is playing in his 16th FedExCup playoff event, and he has just one top-10 finish in his previous 15 starts ... 100 players qualified for this tournament, but only 93 are competing ... Paul Casey and Tim Clark withdrew before the event, and therefore will not advance in the FedExCup playoffs because they are outside the top 70, which is the cutoff for next week's field at the BMW Championship.

Fresno's $2.3m Settlement in Homeless Case Finalized
By John Ellis, The Fresno Bee, Calif.
Jul. 26–Even as U.S. District Judge Oliver W. Wanger signed off Friday on a $2.3 million class-action lawsuit settlement between Fresno and more than 200 of its homeless residents, it was clear that hard feelings linger between him and Mayor Alan Autry.
Autry's name emerged as Wanger discussed legal fees in the case, which the mayor previously had described as "exorbitant."
Wanger noted that the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights and Bay Area private attorney Paul Alexander, who brought the case on behalf of the homeless residents, could legally have sought more than $2.7 million in legal fees, but had agreed on $750,000.
He said that Alexander's firm was not "taking one penny of legal fees" and others could have been paid hundreds of dollars per hour for their work.
Still, he noted, Autry — who wasn't present in the courtroom — would likely criticize the agreement "as he so loves to do."
The comments drew a sharp retort from James Betts, who represented the city and Autry, who was named as a defendant. Betts called Wanger's comments "unsupported and unnecessary" and asserted that Wanger had "no foundation in law or fact" to criticize Autry.
Wanger then reread Autry's written statement after the agreement was first reached, in which the mayor said "white-collar exploitation of the homeless by the court and the lawyers is unconscionable."
Autry, the judge said, had no knowledge of the legal process or the mechanics of class actions.
In defending Autry, Betts said "his comments were heartfelt" and were made because attorneys for the homeless had indicated early in the process that they would do their work "pro bono" — for free.
The exchange ended when Wanger told Betts that Autry nearly caused the settlement to fall apart.
Reached later Friday, Autry reiterated his comments that he agreed to settle because "you are held hostage in these settlement negotiations" by powerful organizations such as the ACLU.
He said he had hoped Wanger would deem the legal fees unreasonable.
"That hasn't happened," Autry said. "He has not explained to the people why he deemed [the fees] reasonable. What is his criteria for being reasonable?"
As for the settlement, $1.485 million will go to the homeless — $1.4 million from Fresno and $85,000 from the California Department of Transportation.
Wanger set legal fees at $750,000 and approved an additional $100,000 in legal costs associated with the case.
Wanger had ruled earlier that the city's clean-up sweeps violated homeless residents' Fourth Amendment rights, which protect against unreasonable searches and seizures, and their 14th Amendment rights to due process. Possessions of homeless who were not present were immediately destroyed.
To date, Alexander said, 268 people have put in claims. The deadline to submit a claim has been extended to Aug. 22. The settlement also includes a $1,000 payment to each of the eight surviving original plaintiffs.
Afterward, Alexander — who was praised by Wanger for "exemplary and outstanding service to the public" — said he was pleased with the settlement.
Homeless resident Jeannine Nelson said she hoped the settlement would bring change in the city's attitude toward homeless residents. But fellow homeless resident Alfonso Williams wasn't so sure.
"We won this battle," he said, "but the war isn't over."
