Bumby Mexico
A bumpy trip to Punta Allen, Mexico for bonefish and tarpon.By Martin Joergensen
This is about a trip to Mexico—a two week trip that was supposed to consist of two parts: a bonefish part and a tarpon part. One down south on the Yucatan Peninsula in Ascension Bay and one further north in the area outside Rio Lagartos. It was not going to turn out that way
The trip was set up by my local fly shop Salmon Fly, and headed by the shop's owner and my good friend Kim Rasmussen.
Bumpy I—a car ride
It took place in January and we left a bitterly cold Denmark a party of four: Kim Rasmussen, Michael G. Olsen, Nils Joergensen and myself—GFF partner Martin Joergensen. We flew into Cancun and took a shuttle from there to our final destination Punta Allen. The ride was supposed to be a few hours—three or four maybe—but as it turned out we would take us seven hours to reach the small village through the jungle on an extremely rough dirt road. We were bumbing along all through the evening and didn't reach our destination until close to midnight.
Now, close to midnight is pitch dark down here, and a small town like Punta Allen isn't really a metropolis with lots of light and commotion that time of night. There was hardly anybody to ask for directions. But we managed to find Sirena—the American woman we rented our cabin from—and the primitive cabin itself with four beds.
We spent the evening checking up on the gear and slept well after a couple of beers.
The next morning we hauled our rods and stuff to the beach to meet up with the guides and go for bones.
We said hello to the guides: Gaspar and his father Juanito. Gasper was fluent in English, his father unable to speak a word of any other language than his native tongue.
They started preparing and as always in these parts of the world things took time.
We had no idea about what to expect from the town, where to buy breakfast or anything else, so a search party of two was sent out to get bread, juice and fruit while the other two were watching the guides getting the boats ready.
The supply team returned with food, and we could enjoy some calories while the guides were getting out outboards, fuelling up, finding food, drink, ice and chatting with the other guides preparing for their clients on the beach.
At long last we were ready, and entered the boats with our stuff. Kim and I with the old man and Nils and Michael with Gaspar. We would go together this first day and search for bonefish over some sandy banks an hour's boat ride away.
I soon learned why Kim had kept his wading jacket with him all the time and was wearing it in spite of the fairly warm weather.
A boat ride with a powerful engine over a slightly waved ocean surface can be very bumpy, very wet and actually very cold too. This was January and not nearly as hot as you could fear. Before ten minutes I was wet and cold.
Bumpy IV—the first day
Well, the place that we went was actually beautiful, and perfect for bonefishing: a set of coral sanded flats separated by mangrove patches and small sandy islands and sandbars, which revealed themselves at low tide. Lots of little channels for the fish to travel in, and lots of flat water for the to feed in.
The only disadvantage was that we didn't see many fish. The other one that we were four anglers and two guides fighting for space. And believe me, even on the vast flats, six people can have a hard time finding elbow room—especially when four of just arrived, feel insecure and want to listen to every word the guide says.
As the days passed our tension eased and we started catching fish. The guides—especially Gaspar—were eager to put us into fish and prove that they were worth their money. In the beginning we would follow their every wink, and do exactly as they said. But as time passed, we realised that spotting bonefish is not that difficult.
Thanks to our height and proper Polaroid sunglasses we often had a clear advantage over the guides—particularly the old man Juanito who denied wearing glasses. He was very depending on surface activity—also referred to as nervous water—and having the light in the face. We were more alert to shadows and movement over the light bottom and dearly preferred having the sun in our backs.
The Northern wind brought several other problems. First of all it was cold and left the water cold. Even we Scandinavians could feel it. Secondly it meant casting into the wind if you spotted fish with the sun in your back. The last week we had Hector as a stand-in for Juanito. Hector was able to speak English, but not a fishing guide. He wanted to learn, and his good mood, language skills and plain ciriosity made him very good company. He was usually a bird watching guide, and acted only as our boat man. He would take us to the lagoons, set us off and pick us up later at an agreed spot. We would then walk our way through the lagoons on our own, looking for fish. This actually worked quite well, and would be an excellent way of fishing—only marred by the fact that that we paid full guide fee to Hector...
Bumpy VI—too much service
Fishing with a guide can be an frustrating experience. On one hand you are very dependent on having him show you where the fish are—on the large and small scale. He is needed to ride the boat to the locations where the fish are, and the value of his local knowledge cannot be overestimated.
Once there he has the keen eye to find the fish. In the beginning you will feel intimidated by the massive amount of surface that you have to scan, and whenever he points and says "There!", you will feel tempted to think he is lying to prove the he is worth his fee, because you see nothing.
When you then at long last see a fish, or decide to trust his precise directions, and cast, he will immediately want to change your fly if nothing happens, thus blaming the fly and not your obviously lousy casting... Quite frustrating actually, because you can just watch the fish disappear while he is clipping, tying and trimming.
I usually fish alone, and have a hard time with guides. I prefer fouling up and acting stupid in my own company and learning from my own experiences and mistakes. I set my own pace, select my own flies and take my time. I stay if I want to and go if I want to.
Your mileage my vary, but don't necessarily take a guide's words for law. You pay, so you decide! Let them know, and get your money's worth. God knows that guides are expensive enough, and there is no reason to feel that your money is wasted or feel frustrated because the guide doesn't do what you want. Ha can't read your mind! Express you wishes. They are his command.
|The following email exchange took place in the beginning of 2004 after a comment submitted on GFF as a reaction to my article on Belize:
Well, we managed to get some fishing done anyway. All of us got on the scoreboard within a couple of days and started getting the feel for the fishing and the fish.
And it is a rush!
Catching bonefish is probably the best fun you can have with lightweight tackle, and about the best you can have with any tackle.
The fishing can be challenging. Casting heavy flies on light gear to very spooky fish is not easy. I had selected my old, trusty Loomis IMX 7 weight to be my main rod for the trip, but had a hard time getting it to do what I wanted. I swithed to my Hardy 9 weight Pike Teaser in our last week, and that made some difference! This rod was much more responsive, much better at getting through the wind, and perfect in action for the fights.
On my next trip I will probably bring a light 7 weight with more crisp action than the IMX. My partner Kim was fishing a Scott 8'8" for an 8 weight and that seemed to be a perfect combination.
Our most productive area was the inland lagoons behind the village, about an hour's boat ride south of the peninsula and into the Northern part of Bahia de la Ascension. These areas were huge, with one small lagoon after the other, broken up into smaller areas by islands, strips of mangrove and the mainland creating a myriad of narrow peninsulas.
Wading was easy, even though the bottom was quite muddy most places, and spotting fish was quite easy too—in spite of some windy conditions and the occasional day with unclear water.
During the last days of our stay we ventured on our own fishing alone with no guide, and during that period we found what seemed to be almost unfished, pristine water with excellent bottom and very good fishing.
The area hold other types of fishing too. Apart from the odd needlefish and barracuda that will rush out and take your fly, the outer reef offers fishing for a host of species, including large barracudas, jacks, snappers and many others.
Our original plan was to leave Punta Allen after a week and go to Rio Lagartos for tarpon on the North coast of Yucatan. A call to our local contact spoiled that. The cold wind was head on the coast up there, and his best advice was to stay where we were and get the best out of what we had. There was no fishing in Rio Lagartos!
That was the end of dreams about tarpon, a hot shower and having some laundry done!
We decided to move from our primitive cabin in the village and rented the lower floor of a beautiful beach house from American Niki and Shon. The house was great, not that expensive and Niki and Shon were very kind and helpful hosts.
So doomed for yet another week of bonefishing, we had to overcome the disappointment of not seeing any tarpon this time around.
Nils, Michael and Gasper tried one day for tarpon in Ascension Bay, but to no avail, and even though we spotted Permit on several occasions, we never got a proper cast to any. So bones it was... for another week.
Shame on us for thinking bad about a situation like that!
We were supposed to leave from Punta Allen early and ride up to Cancun. Leaving in the morning and flying out in the late afternoon would give us a chance to see some Mayan ruins in Tulum on the way.
Knowing full well that the trip down here had taken about twice the time expected, we took no chances. We had booked a shuttle to pick us up at 7 AM and asked Sirena—our first hostess—to call and confirm it the day before.
Unfortunately this had not happened! We were up and waiting at 7, but no shuttle was in sight. At 8 we were getting impatient and checked with Sirena. Well, not she hadn't called, but she could do it now. Yes please! Well, they hadn't sent anybody, but they would do it now... YES PLEASE! We have a flight to catch! With connections!
So it was watching paint dry slowly for hour upon hour. We decided to give it until noon, but started looking around for other options anyway.
Now, in most places you would expect that some local driver would be willing to help—for good words and money. But not here. Not that they didn't want to help, but they had no cars! And the few who had, had no gas. Not even to take us to Tulum or as far as we would get before we could rendezvous with our shuttle.
We were getting desperate.
About five past noon a large four wheel drive rode into town, and about five minutes later we were on our way—assured by the driver that getting to the airport in time was no problem at all!
Goodbye Bumpy Mexico!
Bumpy facts
Punta Allen is located in the North part of Bahiah del la Ascension—or just Ascension Bay. This is again located in the province of Quintana Roo on the Yucatan Peninsula—the most Eastern part of Mexico renown for its Mayan cultural heritage and many astonishing sights for tourists. The whole area of Yucatan's Eastern coast caters to tourists and hotels are numerous as are diving sites.
Punta Allen itself is a small, remote and fairly primitive village, with few facilities and little to do apart from fishing. The restaurants are few as are the options for accommodation. But people are very friendly, seem honest and kind and the village hosts a few American citizens who for the most own businesses—outfitting anglers and other tourists, feeding them and providing them a place to sleep.
Bumpy gear
Bring plenty backing on your reels and check your knots. GFF partner Steve Schweitzer recently lost a whole line to a Hawaiian bone, which decided that it didn't want to be handled.
The leaders can be knotted or tapered leaders. About a rod length or 9' should suffice. Get some good fluorcarbon tippet material in 1X, 2X and 3X.
Flats boots are highly recommended. Wear plain socks inside them.
Wear suitable, versatile clothing, which dries fast. Long sleeves and legs if you don't withstand the sun well.
And tote your gear in a light vest, a chest or fanny pack with room for water. Always bring water.
Bumpy flies
Our single most successful fly was a small Gotcha. Gaspar recommended that over almost anything else, and would constantly ask around for a small Gotchas.Gotcha
But the fish would take other patterns too. I had particular luck with Bonefish Bitters and a small white shrimp creation that I had put together before we left home. I had about six in my box, and all except one were shredded before we headed back. The fly had no name, but to honour this trip I have named it The Bumpy White Shrimp.
General considerations about flies should be: not too big and not too shiny. Sizes from 6 to 10 seemed perfect. And bring a variation of densities and weights. Some with dumbbell eyes, some with bead chain and some with nothing—or plastic eyes.
And do bring a bunch of crab flies. Bahia de la Ascension is one of the world's best places to hunt for Permit. Especially if you come later in the season.

Just returned from Punta Allen. The road is still terrible. BUT, the Club Grand Slam, run by Greg Rahe and his terrific gourmet chef wife, Lupita, seems like the place to stay. Much more reasonably priced than the confusingly named Grand Slam Lodge which has just opened in Punta Allen, plus Greg was a guide in Key West, so he knows exactly was the serious fly fisher wants to have in a lodge-- Excellent guides (the 2-guide system in a ponga- very effective and if there are 2 fisherman, both can fish, with the wading opportunities). Fantastic fishing opportunities- one day we cast to a 10# bone, tarpon and snook within a 30-minute stretch. Great wade fishing. Overall excellent!

There is a new lodge in the area, the Grand Slam Fly Fishing Lodge, I was there in November. Spectacular. They are offering a 2 x 1 special this Summer and, I have heard, your fishing package is free if you're able to get a Grand Slam during your stay; accommodation free if you get a Super Grand Slam. Tempting.

I don't fish,but I was just in Punta Allen for the day on Dec. 17. We went just to see miles and miles of nothing but beautiful deserted beaches and jungle.There were fish camps every so often along the way all the way to Punta Allen (57km) I would have to assume that if they put a fish camp in some of the out of the way areas that we saw there has to be fish. Remember, I don't fish, but if you found this site then you should find web sites for fish camps. I came across this one trying to find out why we could not find lobster for sale in Punta Allen. It was originally a lobster fishing village. I guess there is more money in being a fishing guide. Punta Allen -IS -a bare bones town. I could not imagine spending two weeks there, I don't care what your hobby is. They could be holding an Orgy and I wouldn't stay that long . Ok, one week tops!! It's worth the trip down that long road just to get a feel of what Florida beaches would have looked like a hundred years ago

Great story. Do you think it would be worth the effort to fish right out of the town of Boca Paila on ones own? It seems like a boat and guide is necessary to get to the better flats.

Guides are about 300 USD per day or more for a boat with room for two or three anglers. There are lots of outfitters. Try looking for guides in Punta Allen, Cancun or Boca Paila on Google.

Hi guys, I was wondering if there is anyone who does freelance websites here? Be it full-time or on the side?
I do it on the side, but I choose which projects I want to take. Usually it's for nominal fee's, nothing more than $2-3k
Now I've secured a freelance deal, one which is at $8k and one which is $20k - How do I do this in terms of payments? Do I have to register myself somewhere as a freelancer with regards to things like "tax"? For amounts a bit higher like this I guess I also have to invoice the companies?
Can someone advise me on these matters?
Posted 22 April 2013 - 21:29
if its on the side dont pay tax ... for me I dont have to pay tax unless I earn a certain amount .... then if I do i have accountants available to keep me under the bar with write offs .... sadly im to busy to side line that much money anyway
and yes I also have a standard invoice for each situation i just fill in the blanks of the invoice i made around 3 years ago
Posted 22 April 2013 - 21:32
thats anything over $600. $8k and $20k he will never get away from the IRS. The company that is paying for the website will put it in their taxes and will come back to hime. If he does not put it down, he will get audited!
Posted 23 April 2013 - 10:47
I'm going to assume from the Milton Keynes speedtest in your signature you're from the UK, in which case - your above statement is incorrect.
well here he can just set up his own "company"....you dont get taxed here as a company unless you earn a net of i think 350k???
Posted 23 April 2013 - 15:12
I'm going to assume from the Milton Keynes speedtest in your signature you're from the UK, in which case - your above statement is incorrect.
Corporation Tax kicks in at £300,000; however there are other taxes you pay before this amount - one example being VAT after £77,000.
Also your earlier comment about if it's on the side don't declare it, any individuals "income" is subject to income tax (above the tax free amount provided by your tax code), failure to declare income is tax evasion.

Bug #: 50000300 (SQL Hotfix)
NoticeMicrosoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.
This article describes the following about this hotfix release:
In SQL Server 2005, you receive a "Logon Error: 18456" error message when you try to log on to an instance of SQL Server 2005 and the following conditions are true:
Error message 1
DateTime Logon Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 10.
Error message 2
Note The state of this 18456 error is 10. However, you always receive this "Logon Error: 18456" error message that has a state set to 1 in the client application. To increase security, the error message that is returned to the client deliberately hides the nature of the authentication error by always setting the state of the 18456 error to 1. By default, auditing of failed logins is enabled. In this case, the true state of the 18456 error is reported in the SQL Server Errorlog file. For more information about how to troubleshoot 18456 errors, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web site:
DateTime Logon Login failed for user '<username>'. [CLIENT: <IP Address>]

38 year old man | Wellington, FL, USA | Seeking women 27-35 within 30 miles of West Palm Beach, FL
Active within 5 days
RenaissanceMan seeking RenaissanceLady
Well, here goes, I'm 35 years old, born in Toronto, Canada (of Carribean descent). I have degrees in Political Science, Classical Studies, Currently pursuing Business Administration, and Marketing. I am a successful business owner and venture capitalist. I am a bachelor who lives alone with no children. I come from a loving family, so family is very important to me. I believe that your body is your temple, so I take pride in keeping my temple in the best shape possible. I am interested in a woman who wants to be treated like a lady. As strange as it may be to hear it, I am one of the few guys left that still enjoys romance and chivalry. I think every successful relationship has two things, Romance and Laughter. I believe that romance is the fire that keeps a relationship "hot" and "passionate". Laughter is the medicine for dealing with the stresses of the world. If you treat your woman right (both inside the bedroom and out)-if she is a good woman- she'll make sure that you're treated right (both inside the bedroom and out). I have been blessed to have a lucrative career and would like someone to enjoy the trips to the museum, theatre, and trips to the Keys and the Carribean. I consider myself a renaissanceman (meaning I enjoy being envolved in various things, so I am looking for a woman who considers herself to be a renaissancewoman (someone who would be content with a quiet evening at home curled up on the couch,watching a movie, or just enjoying each others company, but also knows that if her man truly cares enough about her he will spare no expense to treat her like a queen). I would like a woman who is intelligent, but knows when to be serious and when to relax, laugh, and have a good time. She should be able to stimulate me just as much with her mind as her beauty.I consider myself an intelligent person, so I need a woman with stimulating conversation. Most importantly I need a woman who has a genuine heart, trust worthy, and caring. I am not a Player, Coach, or in the Player Hall of Fame. So if your looking for a Player or games, keep moving. Let me end by writing that I am not a member; However, if the right person contacts me,I'll be happy respond. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing sports , Political interests , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Basketball, Running, Swimming, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Horses
Middle of the Road
I like to get away to the Florida Keys to fish, deep sea diving and jet skiing when ever I can, to relax and to forget about my highly demanding life.
My favorite book historical biographies (usually about prominent figures). I love to cook, my favorite dish to cook is Chicken Marsala. I am an amateur painter, so art is something I enjoy. I listen to R&B, Hip Hop, Classical, and Jazz.
I enjoy going to the movies, theatre, basketball games, and reading
The last thing I read was Peace, War, and Politics: An Eyewitness Acount, by Jack Anderson. One of the best books I have read this year. I would recommend it to anyone (especially fans of history).

Tourism and New York Citys Economy

In New York City, tourism has made impressive gains in recent years, particularly in the foreign visitor segment. While not large enough to propel the city's economy, this long-term growth industry is critical to maintaining the local export base and providing jobs to low-skilled workers.

Originally written on IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS caught | Last updated 5/17/13
Last night, I'm chewing on McChicken parts in a White Plains doofuss bar, where all the TV screens but one are tuned into the eternal Knicks and Rangers hell worlds - (too painful for my delicate system.) I'm watching the tube where YES - the Yankees version of Fox News Channel - flashes a graphic of Michael Pineda, the great beached whale of Tampa, and I try to imagine what the Yankee Hannity hucksters are saying. I figure it's an update: Today, Pineda threw off a supermodel's stomach or ate 50 eggs in 30 minutes, or maybe passed his 12-step certification - some blah-blah-blah to remind us that this budding goliath remains in our custody, planning to someday rise from the sea and stomp Tokyo into a giant pile of animal bedding.Moments later, up to the plate strides Jesus Montero, the Second Coming of Thurman, or Chili Davis, or maybe Matt Nokes - nobody yet knows. I strain to see Jesus's batting average, which stands at - huh? - .203. OK, I figure he's hitting for power, right? Nop...

Related quotes
"Racism in itself is not evil, just ignorant and offensive, acting upon your racist beliefs to harm someone is what makes it evil."
"An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood; a mud bath for every soul concerned in it."
"The horror of wedlock, the most appalling, the most loathsome of all the bonds humankind has devised for its own discomfort and degradation."
"Boring damned people. All over the earth. Propagating more boring damned people. What a horror show. The earth swarmed with them."
"Part of the public horror of sexual irregularity so-called is due to the fact that everyone knows himself essentially guilty."

I want to have sex with japanese girl who is my roommate but she does not know this
This japan is very sexy and I would like to make love to her, any advice how I can go about it
Most Helpful Opinion
Wait wait wait hold up. Do you even know the japanese girl very well? Do ya communicate a lot? Or do you have feelings for her? Trust me when I say this She WILL NOT have sex with you if ya don't barely know each other,talk to each other. If you try to make your 1st move into trying to take her to her room and take your clothes off she would give you the what the hell are you doing look because she is thinking that you are using her just for sex. Like us as girls say some guys like to hit it and quit it den move on to another.
What Girls Said 3
What Guys Said 4
Better know her first before you try to jump her. Make sure she really is japanese. Good way to piss off an asian person is to blatantly mess up identifying their heritage, as they take this very seriously. It sounds like you don`t even know her name. You have much work to do.
No matter what happens follow this advice:
Bad idea
what I am about to tell you will work 80% guaranteed. start by asking her name and start talking to her. you guys are roommates so there will be a lot of personal discussions. be patient and as soon as you get to the personal discussion talk to her about her sex life, then ask her what gets her turned on. then when you talk to her, just tell her the ideas you have wit women. for example, tell her that you can imagine pulling her hair from the back while giving hard blows from the back and squeezing her nipples, just tell her your fantasies and a women will eventually want to be part of it.den pick a chance and as a joke offer her to be in ur fantasy and if she turns you down, then its all gud because you were "joking", but it works,hellooo!.just dirty talk with her, but DO NOT do it up to a point where it disrespects her.
Have an opinion?

Hit the North
As it happens I was watching The Road to Coronation Street at the weekend and in it, great emphasis is put on Tony Warren's insistence that the actors are nothern as a southern actor putting on a northern accent just wouldn't be convincing. By all means have southern actors in the programme, I had no problem with the Baldwin clan for instance, but having them try to fake a northern accent rarely cuts the barm cake.
We'll be bringing you a video preview of Stella's first scene later today, so have a watch of that and see what you think.

i saw that and agree not very convincing yet she says shes been up there doing a play all year
well she needs more lessons coz i just think her southern accent is coming through too much-i'll give her a chance but im not convinced

Shame about the accent.
Can't be as annoying as Xin's voice.
Why the funny Bill Oddie picture? It did make me giggle.

Sharon Marshall, This Morning's soaps correspondent, just tweeted this: "@Corrie_Blogger In fairness I'd say that's the weakest scene accent wise, I like her, fully expecting to just see her as Cindy, but no".
Here's hoping she's right.

I'd give her a bit of time to settle into it more. It's early days yet.
- 13 June 2011 at 13:37
I agree Sunny Jim, southerners - no problem, but if they can't do a northern accent then don't. After all, that's what an actor is supposed to be able to do - play a character convincingly and realistically. Jessie Wallace played a blinder so it can be done. Bad accents detract from the character and the plot so I hope it improves!
- 13 June 2011 at 13:47
I thought she sound okay, but John Michie sounded like he was trying to be too Northern (or is that Southern to him LOL)

Jo - Many years ago, when he was a Goodie, Bill Oddie was a master of the ancient Lancastrian martial art of Ecky Thump, which involved wielding a black pudding.
Perhaps if Michelle Collins eats enough black pudding she will start to sound local. What a shame Roy and Hayley are away on their hols, I'm sure they could've sorted her out with a good fry-up.

the fact is though she admitted she had been doing the accent for months already in a play! just based on that she should have it nailed already
- 13 June 2011 at 18:42
Just don't like the woman. Send her back to Eastenders.

WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday Listen to this entire show:
Three former elected officials were inducted into the Hillsborough County Commission on the Status of Women Hall of Fame today at the Tampa Convention Center. People who showed up to honor them laughed as Commissioner Kevin Beckner remembered the late Phyllis Busansky.
âIt was always Phyllis that said, everything was always fabulous and as I learned that everybody was her favorite person and I really believe that in her heart they really were.â

Post sells more papers in wake of Rocky's demise, but 17% less than both papers did
In the wake of the Rocky Mountain News' death, the Denver Post is now the nation's 11th largest daily newspaper in weekday circulation.
The Post has sold an average 371,728 copies since the News folded Feb. 27.
That puts the Post ahead of papers in Dallas, San Francisco, Boston and Philadelphia, according to average weekday sales numbers released Monday by the Audit Bureau of Circulations, an agency that monitors newspaper and magazine sales.
The Post is now delivered to former News subscribers as well as to its own under a deal with E.W. Scripps Co., the News' former owner, so the latest numbers include News customers who now receive the Post. The Post on its own is now selling well over the 225,000 it reported a year ago.
But the new numbers show the Post is selling 17.4 percent fewer copies on its own than the two papers were selling together a year ago, according to a Denver Business Journal analysis of ABC data. And that fact could be significant to advertisers who have been asked to pay the Post what they used to pay for both papers.
The Post and News sold a combined 450,258 average weekday copies in the six months ending March 31, 2008, the ABC said, 78,530 more copies than the Post alone now sells.
William Dean Singleton -- CEO of the Post's owner, Denver-based MediaNews Group Inc. -- said when the News folded that the Post's goal was to hang onto at least 80 percent of the News' subscribers.
A Post spokesman said Tuesday that the paper has retained 95 percent of the News' home-delivery subscribers and 70 percent of the News' single-copy newsstand sales so far, and said executives are pleased with its results.
"We are very encouraged that we have been able to retain so many of the former Rocky-only readers," Post spokesman Jim Nolan said in a statement.
Even before the News shut down, combined circulation for the two Denver dailies had been trending downward for several years. At their peak in 2000, the two papers sold a combined 839,000 copies weekdays.
Part of the decline is due to the fact that an estimated 14,000 customers subscribed to both the Post and News at the time the News closed, so each paper counted them as a subscriber. Those customers were offered extensions of their Post subscriptions.
Nolan also said that since the year-ago reporting period ending in March 2008, the Post has reduced the number of free copies that were distributed by third parties, such as hotels.
He said the reduction of free "third party" papers, the elimination of duplicate subscriptions and other planned changes account for about 50,000 of the Post's 78,530 decline in weekday sales since March 2008.
Nationwide, average weekday circulation of 395 daily newspapers surveyed by ABC dropped 7.1 percent in the six months ended March 31 from the same period a year earlier, nearly twice the decline of the previous year, ABC reported.
Only one of the nation's 25 largest daily newspapers gained weekday circulation year to year: The Wall Street Journal, up 0.61 percent. Eleven of the top 25 newspapers lost more than 10 percent of their circulation in one year, ABC said.
That group would include the Post if its current sales number is compared to what the Post and News sold a year earlier.
The Post elected to have ABC report what its sales were between the date the News folded and March 31 in the latest numbers. All other newspapers in the top 25 reported six-month averages for the period ended March 31.
The largest U.S. dailies are two national newspapers, USA Today (with average sales of 2.1 million copies in the six-month period) and The Wall Street Journal (2 million copies).
The New York Times follows with 1 million. Also in the top 10: The Los Angeles Times (723,181), Washington Post (665,383), New York Daily News (602,857), New York Post (558,140), Chicago Tribune (501,202), Houston Chronicle (425,138) and Phoenix's Arizona Republic (389,701).
Newspapers smaller than the Post despite being published in larger cities include the Dallas Morning News (331,907 weekday sales), San Francisco Chronicle (312,118), Boston Globe (302,638) and Philadelphia Inquirer (288,298).
At the other extreme, the New York Post's sales dropped 20.65 percent, the Atlanta Journal Constitution declined 19.9 percent and the Newark, N.J., Star-Ledger was down 16.8 percent.
On Sundays, the Denver Post -- also delivered to both Post and News subscribers -- ranks ninth in the nation, since USA Today and the Wall Street Journal aren't published on Sundays.
The Post sold an average 526,235 Sunday copies in the six months ended March 31.
That's down 12.3 percent from the 600,026 average sales of the Sunday Post a year earlier. At the time, the Post was delivered to News subscribers under a "joint operating agreement" partnership between the two papers' owners.
Nolan noted that the Post has eliminated an early "bulldog" edition of the Sunday paper that was sold on Saturdays, cutting into its Sunday numbers.
The No. 1 Sunday paper is the New York Times, selling an average 1.5 million copies, followed by the Los Angeles Times (1 million) and Washington Post (868,965).
In some cases, newspapers have been deliberately cutting so-called marginal sales in places far from their core circulation areas to save money.
Most daily newspapers make only a small fraction of their revenue from subscriptions. Advertising is a far more important revenue source.

Hawkstone Vineyards is located in the heart of Napa Valley. Hawkstone's wines are limited release selections that fall within two tiers of production: Barney's Heritage Cuvée Series, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay or Merlot, and Connoisseur Series Cabernet Sauvignons from Stag's Leap District, Spring Mountain and Diamond Mountain.
Shows the tight structure and hearty tannins of this mountain appellation, on the western side of Napa Valley. There's a huge core of ripe black currants, with a firm minerality. Give this fine wine four years in the cellar to soften and mellow, or decant now for a few hours.— S.H. (3/1/2010)
Merits its high score by virtue of the concentrated black currant flavors that are so intense and pure, they're the essence of Cabernet Sauvignon. Yet the wine is also very tannic, with a lockdown astringency that leaves the mouth all puckery after you swallow. Give it 5–6 years in a good cellar.— S.H. (5/1/2013)
Strikes a nice balance between opulence and subtlety, offering pleasant orange, pear and subtle oak flavors that are balanced with a dry minerality. Feels fine and balanced, an elegant Chardonnay to drink with roast salmon, pork, butternut squash risotto.— S.H. (12/1/2011)
A very good wine, and an exciting early peek at the quality of the 2010 Cabs. Dry and rich in tannins, it's complex in blackberry, black currant, olive and sweet oak flavors— S.H. (12/1/2011)
A very nice Cabernet for drinking now with roasts and grilled meats. It's a little too soft for aging, but that makes it drinkable now, with rich flavors of blackberries, black currants, cassis and dark chocolate.— S.H. (3/1/2010)
A fine, complex Merlot to drink now with a great steak or chop. It's dry and tannic, with polished cherry, red currant, licorice, teriyaki beef and cedar flavors. Give it a brief decant.— S.H. (3/1/2011)
A good Cabernet for the table, with its dryness, firm tannins and general balance. Shows deep, long-lasting flavors of black currants, anise and smoky cedar, and could even develop some bottle complexity.— S.H. (12/1/2008)
Shows lot of ripe blackberries, black currants and cherries, with a smoky coat of oak, wrapped into firm, chewy tannins. There are some bare bones and divots, but it's a polished Cab for drinking now.— S.H. (4/1/2010)
A buttery aroma leads to rich butterscotch flavors and a buttery finish…

1862-S $10 Genuine PCGS. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of a VF example that has been cleaned. This yellow-gold piece has no distracting abrasions, but is a bit bright and glossy from cleaning. The 1862-S has a mintage of only 12,500 pieces, and survivors are rare in all grades. None are known in Mint State.

Interested In Starting A New Business
by entreinterest, Window Shopper
- Created: July 7, 2009, 1:36 am
Background: I am interested in starting a small retail business (sole proprietorship) selling cell phone accessories (covers, chargers, etc.). I would probably just occupy a small space in a local mall.
Question 1: I know I would have to pay for the lease of space in the mall, starting inventory, cash register, computer, credit card machine, and display shelves. What other startup costs might I have?
Question 2: Once I begin running, I would have to pay for employees, electricity, possibly Internet service (is electricity usually included when you buy space in a mall?)... What other 'operational' costs might I have?
Question 3: How much money do I need to have set aside to open this business?
Question 4: As far as licenses or other legal obligations go, what do I need to do?
Question 5: How do I go about obtaining inventory at the best possible price? Wholesale? Straight from the manufacturer?
Thank you for your help!

2 words for you: business plan. You really need to develop at least a basic business plan before you do anything else.

A cell phone business is one of the most lucrative businesses out there. It's time to diversify your income with a low cost cell phone accessories business as cell phone industry is going in leaps and bounds and people are getting more involved in it because of its functionalities, convenience and style.According to your business, asset is requiring in the start and it'll be beneficial for your business if you will separate some amount for your safe side. When starting a cell phone business you may need to obtain financing and apply for a loan and I think it's the easiest way to solve your all financial problems as you questioned. The only thing you have to make is your presentation in the initial loan proposal and application. It's really difficult to plan out the exact figure of amount for your business without knowing what's going on in your mind relating to business promotion because it may differ from place to place, city to city, country to country. Initially, majority of the cost for starting business depends on the place where you got? How many employee you hired? How you designed your office? Etc.As concern from where you will get inventories at the best possible price, so manufacturer always charge much low as compare to wholesaler. But in the beginning of business, it's difficult to get approach directly with the manufacturers, so wholesaler is best for you in my opinion. There is another source from where you get your desire an inventory is "Online Market". I think this the best and easy way to purchase and even sell your products. You should think of it because in business you may not get a second opportunity. Best of luck for your new business!Thanks,Ronnie WilliamsWirelessPhoneGallery: The best source of all cell phone accessories Message Edited by NicoleD on 09-02-2009 05:28 PM
