I'm not sure if it says more about the state of boxing or about the appeal of unbeaten Chad Dawson, but in his last two fights, both of which were in Las Vegas against Antonio Tarver, he failed to draw a combined 2,500 fans.
So when he meets Glen Johnson on Saturday in a rematch for the interim World Boxing Council light heavyweight belt, the fight will be in Hartford, Conn., near Dawson's hometown of New Haven.
Hartford isn't a boxing hotbed, though it did produce Marlon Starling, a two-time world champion who was one of the best welterweights of the loaded 1980s.
Freddie Roach, the three-time Trainer of the Year who is preparing pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao for his Nov. 14 showdown in Las Vegas with Miguel Cotto, was in Starling's corner the last time there was a major fight in Hartford.
But it wasn't a typical bout, as the young Roach was violating union rules and nearly got into a brawl with several union members.
"These guys were supposed to build the ring (for Starling's Sept. 15, 1989, fight with Yung-Kil Chung), but they weren't sure what they were doing," Roach said on Monday before Pacquiao's workout. "I knew how to do it, so I got in there and worked with them and helped them."
A little after noon, with Starling slated to work out at 1, Roach walked into the arena and noticed the ropes were loose. The workers were sitting around the ring, so Roach climbed in and began to tighten them. One of the workers picked up a wrench and hit Roach, stunning him and then turning the one-time brawling featherweight into a very angry man.
"The guy told me, 'This is lunch time and you can't do any work now,' " Roach said. "And I said, 'My guy has to work out at 1 and these ropes need to be tightened.' I just went crazy. It almost got to be pretty bad."
Roach managed to be restrained – "I would have hurt somebody," he said – and Starling managed to win a unanimous decision to retain the WBC title in what turned out to be the last victory of his career.
Dawson, who never went for the kill in his two lackluster wins over Tarver, could use some of Roach's fire on Saturday when he meets Johnson on HBO.
With that, I'll get to your questions and comments in this week's mailbag, though I'd also like to ask that you follow me on Twitter.
Manny on Mayweather
I would like to know your reaction on this statement Manny Pacquiao made about Floyd Mayweather Jr. to the Associated Press' Greg Beacham: "Boxing for him is like a business. He doesn't care about the people around him watching. He doesn't care if the fight is boring, as long as the fight is finished and he gets (plenty of) money. … I want people to be happy. You have a big responsibility as a boxer." I wish the fight between Pac and Money will be made so that the sport of boxing will again live up to its name as "The Sweet Science."
Ronnel Victor de la Cruz
Mindanao, Philippines
I mostly agree with Pacquiao's assessment. Now, Mayweather is so good defensively that opponents frequently can't hit him. And I'm not about to suggest he allow himself to be hit simply to become more entertaining. Mayweather is a highly skilled boxer whose defense-oriented style is made for those who appreciate nuance more than a slugfest. But believe me when I tell you that Pacquiao's comment is also self-serving. He also is very interested in money and isn't looking to please anyone at cut-rate prices. He demands top dollar.
Respect for Cotto
Where is the respect for Miguel Cotto? This is not a tune-up fight for Pacquiao. This is his first real challenge since he lost to Juan Manuel Marquez. And yes, despite the records, he lost. Everybody, including promoter Bob Arum, talks about Pacquiao-Mayweather. Wow. His own promoter has no respect for him. Roach says Pac-man will knock out Cotto in the first round. What a surprise the world is in for on Nov. 14! What will be the excuse when Cotto wins? He was too strong or too big? Pacquiao had a lot of distractions? Cotto needs a knockout to win? The judges are not going to give the fight to Cotto when the Mayweather fight is almost done.
Israel Miranda
Puerto Rico
Israel, I think Cotto deserves a lot of respect and probably more than he's gotten. That said, Arum isn't always talking about Pacquiao- Mayweather. He's answering questions that are asked by the media. He was asked about it at a Cotto workout Monday in Las Vegas and said he didn't know if the fight would happen and tried to turn the conversation back to Cotto. This is a great fight and one I've been looking forward to since before it was even made.
Pacquiao, Cotto aren't hungry
After watching the first episode of "Pacquiao-Cotto: 24/7" on HBO, it appears to me that neither Pacquiao or Cotto seem hungry any more. Well, Cotto looked hungry for some Puerto Rican barbecue, but not as a fighter. Is this the story the HBO 24/7 production team is trying to portray? They have Pacquiao surrounded by an entourage of shady people and disrespecting Freddie Roach and they have Cotto moving his training camp to Tampa, Florida to enjoy backyard barbecues.
Roy B.
Aliso Viejo, Calif.
Roy, I think you see it incorrectly. First, the guys on HBO's production staff are not setting anything up. Pacquiao has hired the people who are around him. HBO did not put them there. And whether they're shady is not for me to say, since I have no evidence that that's true. I can tell you that I received more than one phone call from joyous sounding boxing insiders when news broke that Pacquiao conditioning coach Alex Ariza had beaten up adviser Mike Koncz. I have no problem with how either man is being portrayed. And I should add that I believe each man wants to win desperately.
Cotto's size a factor
The more I think about the Pacquiao-Cotto fight, the more I wonder about the issue of Cotto's size. I know there was this talk when Manny was about to fight Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton, but this situation is different. De La Hoya was not physically capable anymore and Hatton was so brutally outclassed it didn't matter. Cotto might not be as great after the Antonio Margarito fight, but he's a real welterweight, in his prime and has proven he can handle fighters with great speed (Mosley). My questions are: Can Pacquiao take the shots that Cotto will deliver? It took Margarito (possibly with an illegal substance in his hand wraps) more than 10 full rounds to stop Cotto. Can Pacquiao survive as long as he will need to take Cotto out?
Brandon, you must have been eavesdropping on a conversation I had with some boxing insiders at Cotto's Las Vegas workout Monday. One astute man, who shall remain nameless, made the very points you've made. He further said, "If Pacquiao had fought Mosley, Zab Judah and Joshua Clottey and Cotto had fought Oscar and Hatton, do you think the perception of them would be different today?" And it's hard to answer that question in the negative. If I was certain Cotto is not damaged goods from that Margarito fight, I'd pick him for the very reasons you cite. I'm going with Pacquiao because I'm thinking Cotto isn't the same and that as a result, he'll be unable to deal with Pacquiao's speed.
This was a great article, but you really should have put more accent on the fact that George Foreman came back from his defeat to become a great and worthy champion once again. Most boxers would have folded, never to be heard from again, if they had been whipped in the manner Ali beat down Big George. It took a lot of courage and intestinal fortitude for Foreman to cast away the demons of the past and eventually prove to the world he belonged in the class of the greatest heavyweights in history.
Thomas C. Zarvis
East Dorset, Vt.
Tom, you're right, Foreman did come back and win the world title more than 11 years after that loss. It was an amazing feat. I've chronicled Foreman's comeback and his stunning knockout of Michael Moorer many times, though, and felt this story deserved to focus on Ali.
No Toronto, eh?
I have been searching for an answer anywhere and I can't find one. Why is there never a highly anticipated fight in the city of Toronto? Aside from the fact that there is more money in Vegas, is there any political reason that we can't get a half decent fight?
Mark M.
Mark, it's pretty simple. Promoters are going to put fights where they get a site fee (money they're paid by the venue for bringing the fight there) or where they know they'll sell a lot of tickets. With no major boxers from Toronto, it's difficult to compete against cities like Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Atlantic City, N.J. If there were a top fighter to come out of Toronto and he had a big following, I'm sure there would be fights in the city. That's really it, plain and simple.

I'm in Kuala Lumpur this week for TechEd, and it's my first trip to Malaysia. The area near my hotel is really modern and spectacular, with lots of shops and bars and restaurants, and the Microsoft office and the convention center are both a short walk away. The photo here shows the view from in front of my hotel.
Yesterday we put on an Open XML workshop for a group of developers representing ISV and government agency perspectives. It was a very interactive all-day session, with many good questions. It's always great to brainstorm with developers about what they'd like to do with Open XML.
I have several technical posts nearly ready for the blog, but since I'm on the run this week I'll probably start posting those next week from Redmond. Meanwhile, here are a few Open XML blog posts that caught my eye today …
Oliver Bell's latest post discusses Subhashish Gangopadhyay's view of the file-format debate around Open XML and ODF. As Oliver points, multiple standards broaden the market for outsourcing and create more niches for emerging economies. That accurately reflects the perspective I hear most often in these developer workshops I've been doing. And Subhashih, I love the use of "fox" as a verb. 🙂
IBM has joined OpenOffice.org. Learn more from the press release, or for some spin check out Andy Updegrove. Given IBM's strongly stated opinions about numerous details of the Open XML specification, it will be interesting to watch how ODF addresses the same issues going forward.
Rick Jelliffe's "on error rates in the draft of standards" compares the number of comments submitted for DIS 29500 with comment counts for other large standards. He repeats the same sentiment he has shared with me in the past, that the ISO process "will continue calmly on, disappointing the bullies and the racists and the cartel-izers and the sour-grapers and the parrots, and deliver a good initial version of the standard."
Julie Watson has a slide show entitled "[Compatibility Mode] Confusion in Office 2007." It's hard to tell whether the editorial complexity and clumsiness of this document is intentional satire or not, but Rob Weir seems to have completely recovered from the grammar-police tendencies he exhibited in V1 the last few months. I agree, it's best to "ignore intuition" when you read this one.
Wouter is back from vacation, and it looks like he had a great time. Turkey will never be the same.

*susan* replied to jorgemanrubia's topic in ProductivityI might consider it if you develop an iPad app.
This worked for me, thank you so much!
Thanks, Bryan, I am going to try that tonight.
*susan* posted a topic in Windows Desktop HelpI use Evernote on Windows. I am no longer able to access it because I get a quick popup of an error and then it shuts down. I was able to capture a screenshot, please see attached. I have uninstalled and then installed back, and even tried reverting to an older version, but no matter what I do, thus far, nothing has worked. I submitted a help ticket, but got the response that they don't work on weekends, and I am not a patient person, so I was hoping someone here may have encountered this and have a suggestion on how to resolve the issue.
*susan* replied to ginarcameron's topic in ProductivityI am absolutely loving IQTELL, it is based on the GTD principles and is fabulous. It is still in beta, but if you request an invite, they will send you one. The development team is amazing, quick to resolve problems and constantly developing and improving it.
*susan* replied to Dmitry Gorshkov's question in Third Party Application DiscussionsI absolutely love Powerbot and am thrilled to test it out!
*susan* replied to ikazalika's topic in Evernote General DiscussionsHave you tried Iqtell? It is great, brings all your calendars, email accounts, Evernote, etc. into one place.
*susan* replied to Mark Jantzen's topic in Penultimate HelpMine was doing that, I just long-pressed, closed out the app, waited a minute and reopened it and it was fine.
*susan* replied to gbarry's topic in Evernote General DiscussionsAside from the "welcome to Evernote" note, my first note was my efile pin. I downloaded Evernote just for that, thinking it would be a good way not to lose the pin. I had no idea at the time my whole life would end up being in Evernote.
*susan* replied to TechBarber's topic in Penultimate HelpHa ha, and see, I am this major geeky, gadget girl, so the more bells and whistles, the happier I am.
*susan* replied to TechBarber's topic in Penultimate HelpWow, notes plus looks awesome. I have been using Penultimate, but I love some of the features in Notes Plus. I think I am going to give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion.
*susan* replied to <actus's topic in Evernote General DiscussionsMartin, I agree, it has to be "done right". Unfortunately, it frequently is done with more of a snarky, know-it-all attitude, or at least, that is how it comes across. On the internet, people need to read what they post before hitting the send button to make sure the message and tone they are attempting to convey is truly coming across in the manner they wish it to.
*susan* replied to <actus's topic in Evernote General Discussions<actus, I understand where you are coming from. I am the administrator of one of the largest weight loss forums on the internet. I see it everyday where new posters join and often feel "attacked" by older members of the forum. Often, new members are also new to forums in general, so they are unaware of the idea of using the search function. So, they frequently get "chastised" by older members for not using it. Or, sometimes, you are just in a hurry, and want a quick answer to your question. The other problem is, older members tend to feel like they have seen every post a million times and they are tired of seeing it and answering the same question over and over again. And, often older members feel they are being helpful by suggesting the search, or that they have already answered this question, but in doing so, without their even realizing it, their annoyance with the OP really does shine through in their response. This frequently results in new members feeling unwelcome, Usually I remind the older members of my forum that they were once new, and to try and remember how that felt. If they find a question annoying, or feel it has been answered a million times before, they are not required to respond to a post, they are more than welcome to just pass it by, let other members who are willing to help and are not annoyed by the question answer it while they move on to other threads. And, you know what, I am okay with new posters coming and asking the same questions other posters have asked before. There may be a slight twist that makes their question slightly different than the way it was asked before. And, it keeps the forums active. If everyone quit asking questions because they fear it has been asked before or may offend someone, then our forum would simply become a knowledge base instead of an interactive forum that continues to grow and help people.
*susan* replied to aarondfrancis's topic in OrganizationThanks, Chris, that will be my project for this afternoon!
*susan* replied to prbutton's topic in Evernote General DiscussionsSome great suggestions here, thank you so much!

Bad BoysMature
Tom sat down on the sofa, feeling simultaneously uneasy and excited.
"John took me back," he felt the need to say.
"You told him then?" Dominic whispered.
Tom nodded. "I was amazed at his reaction. Of course I didn't mention names. But he knows I kissed you. He knows I wanted to. He even knows that for a few seconds I totally disregarded him. It makes me feel like slime."
Dominic looked away.
"I haven't told River. I don't know if she could take it."
He sighed, taking a swig of his beer.
Tom was alarmed. He hadn't ever considered that Dominic might tell his sister.
"Yes! Please don't tell her! She'll hate me!"
Dominic looked at him.
"If she asks, I'll tell her. I can't lie to her. But until she asks I won't utter a word."
"Why would she ask?" Tom asked, hearing the concern in his own tone. "I really hope she doesn't. I mean, I know it's deceptive and wrong and that but ... she can't know. She just ... can't." He looked away in shame, taking a swig of his own beer.
"Like I said... I will only tell her if she asks," Dominic said calmly, looking directly into Tom's eyes.
Tom shivered and tried to look away. But his gaze slowly wandered back to Dominic. He sighed heavily.
"Were you angry that you felt something?" he murmured, curious and a little afraid. "When it happened, I mean. Did you hate yourself for it?"
Dominic bit his lip, not replying and still looking at Tom. His eyes were full of a sadness that Tom wanted to understand.
"I hated myself," Tom explained - "of course I did - for kissing you. But ... I didn't hate my feelings. Do you know what I'm saying? I don't regret emotion. Did you hate yours?" He asked his questions slowly but his heart felt like a cheetah.
Dominic looked away.
"I.... I don't know how I feel about it. I don't even know if I hate myself."
Tom sighed heavily, finally released from Dominic's captivating gaze, and looked away too.
"You don't have to," he told Dominic. "You barely kissed back. I initiated it."
It wasn't really a relief that Dominic didn't hate himself. Of course, Tom was glad. But he wanted to know more. He wanted to know if Dominic's heart was totally cold towards him.
"I wanted to kiss back, though," Dominic whispered, sounding like he was talking to himself.
Tom heard him, though. He looked at Dominic, startled.
"Did you just say that?"
Dominic looked at him, stuttered incomprehensibly, blushing brightly, before he looked away and drank the last of his beer.
Tom stood up, his heart racing in his chest. "I'll go and get you another one."
Dominic nodded silently.
As Tom walked, he tripped over his own feet and turned as he fell, his hands supporting him either side of Dominic against the back of the sofa.
Dominic's hands caught him by the hips as he fell and hesitated there as he stared at Tom with a dazed expression
"Sorry!" he said, wincing in both pain and embarrassment.
Dominic stared. His breathing became heavy and he swallowed nervously, blushing. His grip tightened slightly on Tom's hips.
Tom moaned lowly, closing his eyes briefly in pleasure. When they reopened, he looked searchingly into Dominic's eyes.
Dominic blinked and tried to move away.
Tom held Dominic's shoulders, placing his knees either side of his legs.
"You just gripped my hips," he said, not releasing his grip on Dominic's shoulders.
Dominic looked away, seeming ashamed.
"No, no, no. Don't you do this to me again." Tom turned Dominic's face with one hand so that he was facing him. "Do it again," Tom commanded, looking intently into Dominic's eyes.
"But...," Dominic stuttered.
"But nothing. You want me.I want you. It's simple. Comprende?"
"But River...," he whispered.
Tom was furious at the reminder of his sister. Angrily he moved off Dominic, sitting beside him, glaring into the air in front of him.
"Fine then! Arouse me and then stop. You're such a jerk."
"Tom... I'm sorry.. but I can't just forget about her," he said, trying to get his attention.
Tom stood up. "I'm sorry too." He spitefully rubbed Dominic in a private area and picked up the beer can to fetch another one.
"Tom.." Dominic reached out and grasped Tom's wrist, stopping him in his tracks.
Tom shifted his glare to Dominic.
Dominic opened his mouth to speak but looked down, ashamed, still gripping Tom's wrist.
"Damn it!" Tom pulled his wrist away and stalked off, returning a few minutes later with the fresh can of beer. He wordlessly placed it on the table in front of Dominic, picked up his own can and finished it and then went to sit at the other end of the sofa, brooding silently.
"Tom..." Dominic sighed
Tom looked away, not replying. He knew how immature it was but he was still suffering from the rejection after Dominic had aroused him.
Dominic sighed again, getting up.
"I'm going to the bathroom," he mumbled.
"Do you know where it is?" Tom asked, mumbling as well.
Dominic shook his head.
"I was shown but I don't remember."
Tom sighed world-wearily and led the way. He pointed at the door and said, "I'll see you back in the games room."
Dominic turned to thank him as he passed, not realising how narrow the corridor was. He bumped into Tom so that he was facing him, making their lips less than an inch from each other's.
Tom stared, open-mouthed and horror-struck at the thoughts entering his mind due to this proximity. He moved his head backwards but then gave into the desire sparked by the kiss, returning it passionately, and gripping Dominic's hips tightly to repay the earlier favour
Dominic pulled away, swallowed and slipped into the bathroom, locking the door behind him.
Tom remained outside, motionless, unable to believe what had just happened, unable to think clearly because of the sensations exploding through him.
Dominic came out a moment later and closed the bathroom door behind him so he could lean on it.
"You can't expect me to walk away now," Tom murmured. "You've sealed your fate. Come with me." He gestured with his head as he walked in the direction of his bedroom. He felt Dominic's eyes on him. He turned to see that they were filled with pain.
"I love your sister, Tom."
"Shut up. Come on." He paused and looked at him. "You might as well punish me well."
Dominic followed, silent.
Tom opened the door of his bedroom and gestured for Dominic to enter.
Dominic hesitated but entered.
"Tom, I... I'm not leaving your sister," he stuttered, turning to face him.
Tom shrugged. "You don't have to." He closed the door behind him and walked towards him. He kissed Dominic for one second before drawing back to see how he would respond.
Dominic kissed Tom strongly.
Tom moaned and walked backwards, sitting on his bed.
Dominic shook his head.
"No, not there."
"I'll respect your chastity," Tom murmured, looking deep into Dom's eyes. "It's just more comfortable here."
Dominic shook his head.
"No, I can't do this," he whispered, trying to leave.
Tom grasped at his wrist. He looked at Dominic, and let his vulnerability and unhappiness show.
"But you started it, Dom. You can't just leave me. You don't want to mistreat me - I know you don't. So stay. Please."
"River, Tom. Think about your damn sister. I love her and this is just wrong" Dominic pleads.
Tom let go. "I love her too," he said quietly, looking at the floor. "But if you could forget her for even one moment, is it fair to keep trying? And .... well, you're treating me like I don't matter at all. Am I insignificant to you?"
Dominic shook his head. "No, Tom, but all I'm feeling for you is lust. I can't do this and risk losing what I have with your sister."
Tom lay down and rolled onto his front.
"You led me on," he whispered.
"I didn't mean to and it's not like you aren't trying to lead me on," he whispered.
"I'm not leading you on," Tom murmured, too numb to resent such a thought. "I'm just trying to encourage you in your feelings. I'm helpless. I love you."
"You don't love me, Tom. You don't even know me" Dominic whispered.
Tom shrugged. "You brought my sister happiness. As ironic as that is, I feel such gratitude towards you."
"I'm gonna go..." Dominic stuttered, before leaving.
Tom remained lying on his bed stationary, his mind still numbed by the ice in his heart.

With all the banks having reported, now seems like a good time to run the slide rule over the three this column has yet to feature this year. They are HSBC, Standard Chartered and Lloyds Banking Group (I've put a hold on Barclays, and said avoid RBS).
First to Standard Chartered, which often gets forgotten because it does so little business in this country. It's also unlike the other banks for a number of reasons: On most metrics it either met or beat forecasts (the others mostly missed) while turning in its ninth consecutive year of record pre-tax profits (up 11 per cent at $6.8bn, or £4.3bn).
StanChart is in many of the fastest-growing economies, and has reaped the benefits as troubled rivals (such as Citigroup) have been forced to pull back both in terms of winning market share and winning quality people. Actually, the bank used to be a refuge for people who'd worked at Citi and didn't much like its culture (at least before the roof fell in).
It is a shame that it is not immune from another favourite pastime of bankers – moaning – or from questionable bonuses. While you could argue that Standard's health ought to make it immune from the scrutiny faced by other banks, an addiction to bonuses is a questionable policy when it comes to a business's long-term health.
On valuation grounds, StanChart enjoys a chunky premium: it trades at 12.8 times this year's forecast earnings with a prospective yield of only 3.3 per cent. The price to the (forecast) book value of business for 2012 equates to about 1.6 times. However, the results suggest that the premium is deserved. The company is everywhere you'd want it to be and will doubtless outperform again: buy.
HSBC has also been doing unfashionable things like making money and paying dividends. It too is fond of bonuses, but is more open about what it pays than its rivals.
It might seem churlish to complain about a $22bn profit, but HSBC's results were disappointing when compared to expectations. It is also a long way from hitting its own targets for either return on equity or efficiency – in fact costs are rising sharply, not least because HSBC operates in some fast-growing economies where wage costs are on the up. Stuart Gulliver, the chief executive, has promised cuts to deal with this. It remains to be seen how effective these will be. But he has, commendably, been dumping underperforming businesses. HSBC has sometimes seemed like an enormous and unwieldy empire that is addicted to adding territories and businesses regardless of whether they actually make sense on financial grounds. Mr Gulliver seems keen to restore some discipline, which is to be welcomed.
The shares trade at a slight premium (1.2 times) to the net asset value its component businesses are expected to reach in 2012, although they are not hugely pricey based on earnings multiples (just 7 times) with a yield of 5 per cent. On balance, I'd just about continue to hold.
I plan to update how well The Independent's 10 to follow has performed over Easter. However, as I'm looking at banks now, it would seem churlish to ignore Lloyds Banking Group.
First the bad news. There wasn't much to like about its results. Lloyds lost £3.5bn last year. A good chunk of that came as a result of having to set aside £3.2bn to compensate people missold payment protection insurance policies. But even after that, the bank still lost £300m. That is worrying, and it is worth remembering that these results would have looked much, much worse had Lloyds not enjoyed a £2.85bn fall in bad loans.
With unemployment rising, the economy looking shaky, and Europe still in the midst of an awfully big mess, could it be primed for another fall?
Well, at least chief executive Antonio Horta-Osorio is fit. He has even hinted at the possibility of a dividend in 2013, although this should probably be taken with a pinch of salt. It is, however, worth noting that the (commendably) sceptical analyst Ian Gordon believes Lloyds may actually turn in a modest profit for this year, by contrast to Royal Bank of Scotland.
Lloyds was one of the toughest calls among the 10, but it has paid off. When they were published Lloyds shares stood at 25.9p, and the shares are more than a third up on that now. They trade at about 0.6 times 2012 forecast net asset value, cheap. That puts them at a premium to RBS or Barclays.
RBS deserves to trade at that sort of discount, not so Barclays. There is still, I think, some value in the shares, so hold, but I wouldn't criticise anyone who bought Lloyds at the start of the year for cashing in.

Keywords: Condominium
We are a loving family of five who purchased this beach condo so that we would have a place to create memories and spend quality time together. We just love it and we're so happy that we can share it with other families looking for a nice family vacation spot, away from the tourists and Tshirt shops, but within driving distance if we need something!
Jamie Wright purchased this condo in 2007
We spent two years looking for the perfect family condo. We decided to purchase this unit because it is in a small complex. Our building only has 9 units and there are 17 in the entire complex. The building is nestled between a single family home and a small condo building with only four units. It's the perfect, quiet, family spot.
You are within walking distance of a french pastry cafe, restaurants, ice cream shop, nail shop and other small gift stores.
We spent the last week of Feb 15 at this condo and it was just perfect. Our family enjoyed the comfort, the beach and the heated pool. Our kids (5 and 7) could not wait to jump in the pool despite a colder week than usual. The sunsets were amazing, the beach is outstanding and the condo was everything we could as ask for (it even had paper towel, soap, salt, pepper, oil, sugar, washing detergent etc....something you will most likely have to purchase at other properties.) We have rented properties through vrbo for the last ten years and Jamie was the best agent so far. She checked in with us before lading in FL, the day after we arrived (to make sure everything is in order) and even after we arrived home to make sure we arrived safely. This experience has been outstanding.
Condo was great. We've stayed in some that had bad beds But not this condo...Very Nice. Location was great and the condo was very comfortable. WiFi was pretty bad but the owners are working on fixing it. Parking was very tricky for my Full sized F150 and had to back all the way in but nothing they can do about that ..it is what it is. Pool was awesome and there were a lot of places to eat and shop. The condo manager was awesome and very responsive, Had a great time and the family was very happy. Yuck..back to work and the North !!
Our week spent at this condo was PERFECT for our whole family. We also rented the unit next door to accommodate our growing family. The hot tub and pool (nice and warm) were enjoyed by all, and being right on the beach is perfect for young children who need naps :) The kitchen was updated and beautiful, and had all the utensils and dishes we needed, plus some! Absolutely beautiful beach and sunsets! Plentiful beach toys available. Definitely a "must stay" for families with young children.
We keep coming back.... This condo is exactly as advertised;no mirrors, no funky camera angles, nothing omitted. This was a recommendation from old family friends. They were right. The place is very roomy and spotless. There are starter complimentary items and the kitchen is as you would find at home. The furniture is solid and well cared for as are the linens and towels. There are plenty of beach items available in the condo. The view is perfect. Not almost perfect, but perfect. The location is close to restaurants and the trolley stop. Jamie is always available to answer questions-always. It is something we look forward to every year. Counting the days....
We spent a week in June at this condo and it was perfect. The location is terrific. The condo is so close to the beach...truly just a few steps. The sunsets are spectacular and everything we needed was in the kitchen. It is well stocked and I agree with several other comments, owners clearly treat this condo like their home. Prior to our arrival, Jamie, the property manager called us to say that there was an issue at the condo that they were fixing, she described what was happening and gave us the option to reschedule. We decided that we wanted to come and stay in the unit. Everything was exactly as she promised! The issue was fixed and we had a GREAT week. I was so thankful for her honesty and for giving us full information so that we could make an informed decision. Thanks for a great experience. Next year, we will be bringing another family to stay in another unit in this building. It's alittle slice of heaven on Indian Rocks Beach.
We loved this condo and the location. We booked several months ago and then as we were approaching our check in date, checked back to see pictures of the unit. In doing so, we saw a review that concerned us. We called the property manager and learned the details and were reassured that all had been resolved. She provided details about the situation and the actions taken to remedy the situation. Her style and honesty put us at ease. When we arrived, the condo was exactly as promised and we had a great vacation. No issues of any kind! The owners truly care about the place -- you can tell from the moment that you arrive. And, Jamie, the property manager, was upfront, kind and had a real desire to make our family vacation perfect. We are making arrangements for our return next year. You will be glad that you booked this 3 bedroom
We are located in Sunset Paradise in Indian Rocks Beach, FL, just south of Clearwater Beach and North of Madeira Beach. Our building is private and is nestled between a single family home and a building with only 4 units-- adds to the privacy of the experience

Wag, I understand. Most of my voting has been for the lesser of evils or simply against the worst candidate. Those with full time jobs have little time for marching on Washington with pitchforks, torches, tar and feathers.
Perhaps we are going to have to allocate some time for such things though or our elected officials are going to simply continue with business as usual. We need to get a group in that will legislate term limits and put some type of REAL recall things in place so we can address crooked politics more readily.
There are a great number of issues that simply should not ever be addressed by government. Most regulatory legislation is in response to special interest groups that have elected "their man" to address their issues. Capitalism regulates itself in the marketplace. By cutting out most of what Government dabbles in today we can they rely on them to represent US. They criteria should be that the politician prescribes to the Constitution of the US and not because they pass themselves off as some kind of social panacea for the masses.
Every time I hear about the president or the congress needing to create jobs, I cringe and get the desire to strangle something. If I were President I would create jobs by ending welfare and asking congress to strike every damn pice of regulatory legislation inhibiting business from growing and providing jobs to be had. I would ask them to pass legislation prohibiting collective bargaining practices which place Labor Unions in the driver's seat in business operations. Unions should concern themselves with benefits and protections for their members in regards to insurance and pensions and not with pay scales when quality issues are at stake. I would create jobs by getting Government out of the business business.
I probably won't be President without a civil war, and then I would only be president over a very small area.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.-Thomas Jefferson
A Son of Liberty
Domestic TerroristI intend to follow the laws when I carry my gun.
If I break those laws I expect to be held accountable.
Until I break those laws I expect to be left alone.
Thats the definition of freedom.
This is not too much to ask.
I demand nothing more and I will accept nothing less.

I had a bad experience at a polling place in Illinois in my early yrs. I didn't vote for the next 20 yrs. I felt my vote didn't count, nor did my rights, my needs or wants. In a word, I felt I was disenfranchised. I still feel that way, however I do vote now. The system is definitely broken, with little chance of ever being fixed.
I find myself in agreement with most of those on this and other similar forums I frequent. That we are in the minority is pretty evident by the direction of political winds. I can only hope that I live to see a shift in the wind.
If voting could change anything for the better, It'd already be illegal.
I kinda rounded the numbers and came up with a hundred and fifty million. Regardless of the poll, you never (least from what I've found, excluding those from orginizations that have something to proove) come up with fewer than two hundred million guns and 90 million gun owners. Hell the Small Arms Survey of 2007 says that there are 88.8 guns per 100 residents, but those numbers include legally owned as well as illegally gotten.
Florida by itself has almost a million people with concealed carry permits. And there are an estimated six to ten million concealed carry holders in the U.S.
Already, the cops and military are outnumbered just by those who have CCWs.
But yeah. I agree with ya. Be it sixty million gun owners or a hundred million. The gov would be seriously outnumbered. And no I do not want a civil war. I've done war. It sucks and I don't want to do it again. But if something doesn't change I can see war coming.

I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
It's one thing to say something about having a civil war. Quite another to be willing to pay the cost of it. Money is the least of it. Suffering is the most of it.
As our forefathers said, though, occasionally, we have to repurchase our freedoms with blood. I continually hope they are wrong. I continually see that they may have been right.

Why, the body of one when iu fault is chastised with a cat-n'-nine-tails ; but the soul, ihe mind of the other, the butter p.trl of man, whose only object, after his God, is bis country's welfare, is debased and decraded by the pityless laws of his native land.-(CAser:r.) - How long, then, will our rulers thus continue to trifle with the feelings of six millions of his Majesty's loyal subjects?

" The late events in the kingdom of Naples bave proved more clearly aud impressively than any other preceding occurrence of this kind, lhat even in a regularly and well-gciverned State, among a quiet temperate people, salistied wilh their Government, the poisonous inH,uence uf revulu-lionary seels may cause the most violent convulsions, aud a sudden revolution: for it is clearly demonstrated, that the inliigursof ihe Carbonari alone, without any external impulse, without any even plau^ihlr pretext, caused those seditious movements, which induced ilia Majesty the King of Naples, in a moment uf einhirrassmenl, lo lay down the government, to dissolve all the existing authorities, and to proclaim a Constitution absolutely fji-eign to his courilry, and as yet untried even in ihe cijunlry which gave il birth- in other words, anarchy as law. " His Majesty the Emperor it convinced that this unexpected eveut will have made the most lively impression on all Ihe German Courts. It teaches, by a memorable exam', pie, how dangerous il is to contemplate with eootemptuons indifference the operations of secret associations, and ul conspiracies skulking iu the dark, and how wisely the Gcr-mm Princes have acted, io opposing vigilance and rigonr to the first'Symptoms of those dangerous attempts. Hn Majesty the Emperor is especially interested in these unhappy events, by his personal and puliliral relations, uy his near affinity to several of the Italian Princes, and by Ihe geographical posiliou of his dominions. The puliticiil order of things established in 1815, under the gu.iroune of all Ihe European Powers, has made Austiia (he nalurul guardian and protector of public tranquillity in Italy. " The Emperor is firmly resolved to fulfil Ihis high voca. tion, to keep every advance of tumultuary movements at a distance from his frontiers, aud those of his neighbours, to ijffer no violent infringement of the right.') and relations oi" the Italian Princes, as secured by Irralies, and if legal and administrative means should not afford snfiicient prutec tion, to have recourse to the most energetic measured. Happily the present situation of Ihe European Puwei-s, and the spirit of peace which animates Ihem all, is a pledge that such measures will not lead to political liuslilities, or lo wars between the states. If force (to the use uf which his Majesty, whose love of justice aud moderation are well known, will not proceed except in extreme necessity,) should be unavoidable, it will never be employed agninst legitimate power, bat only against armed rebels. Eveu in this case, Ihe possibility is most unwillingly assumed, bis M.ijesly the Emperor will make no claim lo Ihe immediate accession or support of bis German Allies. The mesnres requireii to maiutain peace and order in Italy, are enliiely beyond Ihe sphere of the co-operation of the Gerniaa Couf deration, as formed by the Federal Act, and far from. wisbiUR lo depart from >he principles established in common on Ibis head, his Majesty is, on the contrary, ready to piake every exertion or sacrifice, iu order t" avert, iu the most riiica-cious manner, the coutingency of such co-operatio.u, aod of every danger which might lead to it, from the fronliers of the terriiories of the German Confederoticn. On the other side, il fa certainly impurlunt and desirable, that wbiie Austria is directing its care aod its efforts towards so useful and whulsesome an enterprise, il miiy rely with full confidence upon uu^disturbed irau^uillity in the iiiterixir of Germany.

I'm pro owner but lets be real the only side giving anything here will be the players
There has always been a significant gap between what the player side claim they are willing to give up and what they actually are giving up, especially with the insistence that players should be protected against low revenue growth. At this point it's hard to estimate the damage done by the conflict, but I think it might be big.
The players share of revenue will go down, no doubt. But it won't be the 50/50 split the players claim they have accepted. Even the owners offer gives players more than 50/50.
I do think the owners are overreaching with the contracting demands. They might be wanted, but certainly aren't needed. RFA players having a bit more leverage isn't the end of the world and should be something GMs should be able to deal with.

"We are very proud to have reached that goal by participating in the Holiday Bowl against a worthy opponent such as Texas Tech."

Armed Forces Minister Bob Ainsworth is expected to announce reforms after a year-long review of the reserves.
The review had originally been pitched as an attempt to focus the Territorial Army's resources on the front line, but there are suggestions that the dire state of the public finances has necessitated cuts of up to 10,000 troops in order to save money.
That would be almost a third of present forces and take the Territorial Army's head count down to 25,000.

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
Ahead of traditional commencement ceremonies this weekend, Port City Daily is honoring the Class of 2015 with a look at some area graduates–their achievements, challenges and hopes for the future.
The first in our installment is a student who actually walked across the stage a couple of weeks earlier than some of his area peers.
Brandon Johnson recently received his diploma–and an associates degree–through Wilmington Early College High School (WECHS). The 17-year-old, who has aspirations to work in the medical field, shared with Port City Daily his desire to help those in need.
What do you plan to do after high school?
The Fall of 2015 I will be attending UNC-Chapel Hill majoring in Health Policy and Management, with a concentration in Epidemiology and a minor in Medical Anthropology.
What led you to that choice? How long have you known it was what you wanted to do?
My passion in life is spreading love and caring for others in their desperate need. I am and have been interested in cardiovascular thoracic surgery, and all surgical disciplines, ever since middle school.
I have always had a dream to travel the world and be a surgeon, and last year I was introduced to Doctors Without Borders, a program where doctors of different disciplines help people worldwide where the need is greatest. I have a motto of my own that I love people to spread and that is to have H.O.P.E (Hundreds of Opportunities Prospering Everyday).
When students become interested in diverse healthcare careers it is mainly due to a personal story…and I have one of my own, also. About two years ago, my grandmother was found at her job unconscious without a pulse. After being rushed to the hospital and put into the Surgical Trauma ICU (STICU) many nurses and doctors attempted to resuscitate her…She was considered dead due to severe heart palpitations, causing her heart to beat too fast and skip off rhythm.
I remember vividly when my mother was asked to make the decision to pull her cord…but she denied [it] and minutes after her decision, the nurses notices a weak pulse. And from that moment we knew that everything was going to get better. My grandmother just recently had a birthday on April 28 and she is doing better than ever. My interest in heart surgery grew stronger due to this life experience with a relative close to my heart.
I currently volunteer at New Hanover Regional Medical Center as an ambassador for the Surgical Pavilion and also as an Endoscopy Base Unit attendant.
What are some of your proudest moments in high school? Some of your hardest challenges?
Some of my proudest moments in high school were working with the amazing faculty, who spend countless hours and days to make sure that we succeed. There is no word to express such gratitude I have towards every one of them.
The hardest challenge I experienced from WECHS was the transition from middle school to the rigorous honors courses that we consecutively took the first two years.
What is one of your fondest memories from high school?
My fondest memories from high school were the two big picnics we had in ninth and tenth grade. We were awarded superlatives and academic awards from our teachers.
What are you most looking forward to in this next stage of your life?
As an early college student, once we have attained our associate's degree, we have two academic years left of school until receiving our bachelor's degree. I decided to stay at UNC for three years so that I can take one year to study abroad in South Africa, Melbourne, Australia, Hong Kong, China and London, England. I am extremely passionate about further broadening my knowledge in the area of public health in the world, eventually leading me to become a cardiovascular thoracic surgeon traveling the world as a 'doctor without borders.'

I stand silently watching on the rooftop of the building, stalking my prey as only I could - as only I would. I raised my sickle sword and prepared for the kill, exhilaration rising in my chest as I readied myself. I leapt from the roof and silently grabbed a railing on the balcony of the floor below, then continued to climb down the wall, licking my lips. Some looked down on my eagerness to kill; I didn't see how it was really that relevant. I dropped to the street in the midst of the crowd behind my target, concealing my sword and knife as I got nearer. Finally, I crept up behind him and walked nonchalantly, biding my time for a moment when I could strike without witnesses. When at last the target headed down an alley, I closed in and wrapped my arms around his neck, the tip of my curved knife nestled against his trachea and my sickle sword curving around in front of his entire throat.
The target began to shout for his soldiers. I sent my knife through his throat and my sword down into his heart in an instant. It was far from clean - blood poured onto the street - but I didn't care. I soaked my hand in the blood and leapt up to the roof to make my escape.
I enjoyed killing. Always had, since I'd finished off my own father. Every person I'd killed - excuse me, everyone I'd targeted since had absolutely deserved what they got. Those that stood in my way were mere casualties of war. Before you start asking stupid questions about the code, let me explain something: the code I agreed to when I joined the Assassin's Guild can be interpreted in a variety of different ways.
My most recent prey had been a Templar commander. Very high priority. Plus, I was feeling invincible that night, so I thought, why not? I wasn't proud of my work, but it was necessary. And I've got to admit, it can really make me feel better about myself when I watch someone gasp for breath and collapse to the ground.
I tucked my weapons back into my belt and dropped back to the street, pulling on a pair of gloves to conceal my hands.

1977 O'Day 32 aft keel stub repair advice
4 Attachment(s)
Hi all,
I'm new to sailnet, my name is Rudy. I'm seeking some advise on repairing the aft portion of my keel stub on my boat. I purchased this boat as a someday project, its in pretty bad shape but I don't want to work on deck and the inside if the hull is not in good shape. I hope someone has experienced a similar hull failure to mine and could advise on what would be the best repair strategy to realize the repair. I have a few books of Don Casey, I'm planning on cutting around the damaged area and glassing it with epoxy resin, but the location is kind of intimidating. Please see pics of outside and inside of fracture, any suggestions?
BTW I'm a industrial engine and generator technician if my skills could be of any use to anyone, just drop me a line explaining any diesel or generator issues and I may be able to advise on troubleshooting and repair.
Re: 1977 O'Day 32 aft keel stub repair advice
Looks like the encapsulated Keel like my boat has. Was that stringer under the shaft coupling cut for that engine? I don't think you will find any kind of bolts holding the lead (if it's lead) to the stringers. You may want to call Rudy same name as yours :) at D & R marine D & R Marine He knows the boats from the factory days.
I've a feeling the keel has been hit from the stern & starboard.

Istrian Hill Towns - Croatia's Answer to Tuscany
... truffle-hunting expedition with pigs or dogs. It sounds interesting if a bit touristy, and I didn't encounter any such offerings while I was in Istria even though such tours are offered at high prices on the Internet. What I did find, though, in Istria was plenty of restaurants serving dishes with truffles. I tried some truffle dishes before in Perugia in Italy when I was there in 2003 and have to admit to their appeal. The little fungal nubs that grow along the root ...
Piran - Slovenian Istria
Slovenia has only 16 miles of coastline, not much compared to Croatia's thousands of miles of coast when you include all of its islands and peninsulas. The short stretch is quite developed with an industrial port city (Koper), a swank resort (Portoroz), and a few other old towns. The one real attraction, though, is Piran, a beautiful old town on a peninsula similar to Porec and Rovinj in Croatian Istria but ...

... but is more of an industrial shipbuilding center than a tourist town overall. I think I covered everything of interest in town and had lunch there in less than three hours.
Last but not least is Porec, pronounced in Serbo-Croatian more like "poor wretch". Porec is Istria's biggest tourist town, surrounded by resort hotels and still busy in early October with crowds of Italians and German speakers. Porec's old town is also located on a peninsula, but ...

I fell in love with a hand carved wooden bread holder. I asked if they sold them but no, nor would I find them in any store. At the end of lunch I asked again if they would consider selling me the one we had. Our waitress checked ...
