About yourself
First off share your boxing experience if you wish too as i havent seen a thread done like this before and then what is your thought's/experience with your trainer as im sure there are many stories out there that never get told etc but
What is your relationship with your coach and what should your relationship be I started boxing back when i was just before 7(got beat up in a 2v1 street fight) i was scared first time going into the gym it was small and only a few bags a square ring made out of rope and that's about it there was only around 10 boxers the youngest 14 at the time and thoughout the years i got a good beat down by the older boxers but they never took it too wild by the age of 11 i held my own with the older boxers which were older then myself and i felt my trainer saw this in me the club i was with was growing all the time and had many coaches over my career but only 2 main trainer's i had my first fight when i was 12 and i lost that which was great for me as i learnt so much from that first bout i went on a run of win's from that point onwards i was doing good and had a great career ahead of myself i had my last fight aged 15/16 in a tournament final and i just froze and faked i was hurt and the fight got stopped in round 1 afterwards i asked myself why and since i have always thought why did i do that what i did and even today that still haunts me the bond i had with my two coaches was good i learned everything i knew from the main coach he was young and fit the 2nd coach a much older coach which taught me just as much but how to be outside the ring aswell as in it he was like a old uncle/grandad and would do anything for him the problem i had which they both knew at the time i could at the gym beat anyone they put in with me even young men back when i was 14 15 but i didnt preform as i could at boxing shows and they tried so much to put confidence in me but it never worked i owe everything i know to my old coach i still go down to the club to talk about boxers we knew which have turned over aswell as the old time's and he still always brings up the fact i just didnt have the confidence to preform as i could of which we both laugh at.The realtionship i had with my coach was nothing but the best i believe a coach should know you inside out and should have a father-son relationship inside & outside the ropes |

Re: About yourself
i started boxing 2 years ago cause i needed points for physical education on my college and i also wanted to learn box cause i always loved to watch it.
Also i had many street fights before and always had my ass kicked so i needed to build my confidence, discipline and all that. Soon i felt in love with the boxing training and now i am searching for some serious boxing club and i hope i will have my first bout in a year. |

Re: About yourself
Joined a boxing gym 2 yrs ago, the first thing I asked my coach was, what can you offer for someone who has no interest in competing? Only one year after, I began training with the team and started competing. And that's the long of the short. I'm obsessed with boxing.
I go to sleep thinking about it, and sometimes, I wake myself up because my arms twitch while i'm asleep, it's frickin crazy. I was already in shape when I joined (looks wise), but when I first stepped in a ring and sparred, I realized I was way too slow and fat and clumsy. So became motivated to train harder and before I knew it, I was keeping up with the younger guys. Doesn't sound extremely impressive, but i've never been tough, or athletic and for that matter - never joined a sports team or had a gym membership before. So this is kind of a 180 for me. I've had someone ask me if i've been doing it for several years, or get compliments on my physique. Sorry if that sounds conceited...lol. I'm really not, my only point is that i've never been remotely athletic before, and boxing has been a huge revelation for me. The idea that I could participate in this sport (after being a casual fan for years and thinking it was the hardest sport ever to compete in), and actually being able to win fights is a huge blessing and I am grateful that I can do it. |

Re: About yourself
I started boxing with my father at the age of 3...
Trained like that till 14 maybe, however there was no growing in technique, mostly physical: running, push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups... I used successfully my skills twice in street fighting. At 14-17 I needed to focus on my study to enter University. Also, because of lack of growth, I started suspecting problem with my father's coaching. He was neither really pushing me nor building his knowledge further. We quarreled a lot of times... From 18 to 21 I was busy at the university. Did other sports like athletics, soccer, and basketball. At 21 I decided to go back to boxing. Joined university boxing. Within half a year I recovered all I knew...and realized how actual low was my level. That made me even more upset with my father's coaching. It first started badly. I got immediately many traumas. My ankles ached, knee joints did not feel nice. I had elbow problem that did not allow me use straight punches properly for almost a year... Nevertheless, I did not give up. I build up more knowledge about boxing and eventually overcame all problem. Finally, at 22-23 I trained 5-6 times a week, ran 3-4 times a week. Had several fights. However, I was always dissatisfied with my technique level. Before I joined university boxing, I learnt technique myself, picked up some Tyson's moves. But at boxing school they quickly "broke" me. "You do not do this right, that is wrong, etc". I believed my coaches back then... I relearnt some technique and thought I was doing fine. Then we visited some other schools and I realized that my technique is far from proper. It is not that I did it wrong, no. I was just taught wrongly. Damn, same crap as in university and schools: the coach himself was not really a specialist. He was a good boxer himself long ago...but this does not make him automatically a good coach. What pissed me off the most was that at the end he did not really care... This forced me to change several boxing gyms. At the end I trained at about 10 gyms. That enriched my experience greatly. Meanwhile, I realized that nobody knows everything. Now, at 27 , I decided to learn boxing to become a coach one day, hopefully, avoiding mistakes and wrong attitude of playing in experts that my father and other coaches had. I am running a website where I gather knowledge from proper sources (not simply my opinions) and gather them in one place to use one day. Still training and sparring occasionally. |

Re: About yourself
For me, a recent separation and a long overdue dream of "dabbling" in the sport got me interested in joining. |

Troy mayor Janice Daniels to face recall election on Nov.6
After less than a year in office, embattled Troy Mayor Janice Daniels will face a recall vote in the Nov. 6 general election.
Daniels has been criticized for remarks about gays and rejecting $8.4 million in federal grant money for construction of a transit center.
She filed a challenge to the recall petitions with the Oakland County Elections Office late Thursday. It resulted in the disqualification of five signatures — not enough to prevent the issue from going before voters in the fall presidential election.
Oakland County's Director of Elections Joe Rozell said the official number of valid signatures was 8,877 and ordered the recall election to appear on the November ballot.
Those seeking to recall Daniels submitted some 9,370 signatures to the elections bureau in June, or about 1,400 more than required. The elections division decided there were 900 more valid signatures than required to get the recall vote on the ballot.
Backers of the recall effort such as Matthew Binkowski said today he was "very pleased" with the result.
Daniels, who came under criticism for saying that gay people were "queers" in a Facebook comment, also reportedly told high school students the homosexual lifestyle is "dangerous."
She also made a speech critical of former Troy City Manager John Szerlag.
In early January, Daniels publicly accused Szerlag, who came out of retirement to run the city in 2009, of not providing her accurate financial information and for opening mail addressed to the mayor.
Szerlag said Daniels had damaged his reputation. Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson came to Szerlag's defense. Continued...
The Oakland Press earlier called for her resignation in an editorial.
In a statement, the group "Recall Janice Daniels," said the recall campaign looks forward to the November vote.
It said if Daniels, the tea party-backed candidate who became mayor by 600 votes, is ousted, "responsible leadership will be restored to the city of Troy."
On her website to fight the recall, www.janicetroymayor.com, Daniels sought funds. She also asked for patience as she adjusted to the job.
"I was elected by the majority of the voters in Troy to address fiscal transparency and integrity in budgeting," she wrote on her website regarding the recall effort.
Only 27 percent of voters cast ballots in the election in which she won office.
On her website, she said: "I ask each of you to join me in our effort to help unite us to create a better place to live, work and play. Please donate today to help me fight this recall effort."
Daniels was not available for comment in calls to her Troy city office.

Amundi selection chief takes a quantum leap
Mai-Khanh Vo reveals her formula for today's testing markets.
by Angus Foote on Nov 15, 2012 at 15:06
From Descartes to Becquerel, French physicists have been a powerful force in advancing the course of science. So with a PhD in particle physics, Mai-Khanh Vo is part of a noble scientific tradition. Particle physics is described as 'the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces of nature.' At first glance, there may not be an obvious link to the world of fund manager selection.
But while that scientific tradition stretches back into the 19th century and beyond, in the late 20th century Paris also developed a reputation as a centre for sophisticated financial engineering.
So it is not as radical a step as it may seem for Mai-Khanh Vo to apply her training and analytical skills to researching investment managers. She trained first as an engineer and while one of her post-graduate degrees was in gas and plasma physics, another was in statistics and random models in finance.
All in all, she brings a formidable array of skills and qualifications to her role as head of multi-management for Amundi Asset Management. And while she took on this role in 2010, she has been involved in the business since its inception in 2001.
Changing dynamics
So how have the pressures on the multi-manager changed over that time? First of all, the end clients are more impatient today. 'End clients don't want to lose money,' she says. 'The interest rate is very low. It is very difficult for them to rely on a risk-free asset. They want to earn the same return they used to earn with the risky asset, but without risk.
'Clients are saying: "I don't want to put my money into equity markets." If you take the risk, you get the return, that's what we used to learn at school. But they didn't get the return they expected. They are saying: "I don't want to put my money into equities, so how can you provide me with a return without that risk?"'
To try and address this challenge, the Amundi team start by trying to explain to the client the reality of the current environment. 'Things are changing. Probably we are going into a period of a low rate of return, and history is no longer a guide to the future. Also we try to provide a solution. The solution is not only equity, the
solution is a combination. So the advisory role becomes much more important.'
'The future is multi-asset and multi-strategy. We are changing our centre of focus. Specific asset classes and areas that are getting the most attention: absolute performance, flexible funds – and when I say flexible, I mean highly flexible, go-anywhere funds.'
Typical balanced funds, however, are not attractive to investors, she says. 'I recently had a very interesting question from one of our clients. They said: "You propose a 0-100% equity allocation fund. Why don't you propose something that gives me positive return even if the market is going down?"
'Clients are more and more sophisticated. This is the type of question we never had 10 years ago, now we see
a lot of clients asking these types of questions. They want to play the bear market as well as the bull market. They are not happy that the portfolio is 100% in non-risky assets when the market is going down.'
One consequence of this change in sentiment is demand for high-income strategies in the broad sense – any type of asset classes that may provide clients with yield. 'In some countries, we see demand for funds that provide you with a monthly coupon. What people are looking for is stable dividend streams,' explains Mai-Khanh.

1972 Chrysler Town and Country news, pictures, and information | ||
Tweet |
9-Passenger Station Wagon Chassis Num: CP46M2C109382 | ||
Sold for $550 at 2007 RM Auctions. |
The Town & Country name was used by Chrysler initially to represent their wood-bodied cars. The configuration was a barrel-back sedan-wagon. Beginning in 1946, the Town & Country was available as either a luxury convertible or as a utility sedan. More bodystyles were planned, but never materialized.
In 1949 Chrysler introduced their first post-war cars, and gone from the list were most of the Town & Country wood-bodied cars. The only remaining example was the convertible model. The following year it reappeared as a hardtop, and by 1951 it had disappeared. In reality, it had been transformed into a conventional steel-bodied station wagon and available on the Windsor, Saratoga and New Yorker series. The name would continue in Chrysler's line-up off-and-on throughout the years. It last appeared on a Chrysler Station Wagon in 1988 on the LeBaron model, which was based on the K-car wagon. In 1990 Chrysler transferred the name to their popular minivan series.
This 1972 Chrysler Town & Country 9-Passenger Station Wagon was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars sale at Hershey, PA presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $3,000 - $6,000 and offered without reserve. Since the lot was offered without reserve, the buyer was able to purchase this vehicle with a high bid of $550 including buyer's premium.
The car is fitted with a overhead valve V8 engine and a Torqueflite 3-speed automatic gearbox. There are four-wheel hydraulic brakes with discs in the front and drums in the rear. It has power steering and brakes, air conditioning and tinted glass. The odometer reads 67,826 miles and was last inspected in 1980 in Virginia.

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have been testing a promising vaccine designed to clear beta-amyloid plaques from the brain. In an article in Today at UCI, titled "Alzheimer's vaccine clears plaque but has little effect on learning and memory impairment," researchers say that what they've found is that the vaccine does what it was intended to do. That's the good news. However, they also found that clearing the plaque doesn't restore lost memory or learning abilities to Alzheimer's patients.
So, while this vaccine shows promise as part of treating Alzheimer's disease, even if it becomes widely used, it will be only part of the solution. Still, it's a step forward. We'd all love a magic bullet, but none is on the horizon just yet, so these bits and pieces we find in studies are heartening, even if only that it keeps us aware that research continues and there is hope that one day a way to prevent, or at least put into remission, this debilitating disease.
"We've found that reducing plaques is only part of the puzzle to treat Alzheimer's disease," said study leader, UC Irvine neurobiologist Elizabeth Head. "Vaccines such as this one are a good first step for effective Alzheimer's treatment, but complimentary treatments must be developed to address the complexity of the disease."
In a separate study, this one made public in a press release from OSA, researchers in Bedford, Mass. have "developed a way of examining brain tissue with near-infrared light to detect signs of Alzheimer's disease."
The story, titled "Researchers Use Light to Detect Alzheimer's: New Technique May Help Identify Ways to Predict and Prevent Deadly Disease," explains that:"The new technique ...can detect alterations to the optical properties of the brain that occur as the tissue undergoes microscopic changes due to Alzheimer's - sometimes far in advance of clinical symptoms."
Studies go on. Will these new findings help those who now suffer from Alzheimer's? Not likely.
What this flurry of research reminds me of is the years when I was growing up, and polio was at epidemic proportions. I knew a couple of people with polio. The iron lung was getting heavy press, as it was breathing for polio victims who couldn't breathe on their own.
I remember my parents being nearly hysterical when my brother had a stiff neck and couldn't touch his chin to his chest. Apparently, that was a polio test. It ended up fine. He just had a sore neck.
During that time, my third grade class was lined up and blood was drawn from our little arms, to use in experiments for polio vaccines. Why third graders were used, I've never known, but that's how it was. Not long after those needle ******, the Salk Vaccine was introduced and we were all given our "polio shots."
Did the research help those friends of mine who already had polio? No. In fact some of them are now suffering from what's called "post polio syndrome." One friend, who recovered from polio totally (they thought), is now back in a wheel chair from effects of the disease that has shown up decades after the fact.

He was our eyes
The tragic death of Anthony Shadid has made the world a little darker
Topics: Writers and Writing, Anthony Shadid, Iraq war, News
I was stunned and saddened to learn of the death of Anthony Shadid, the great New York Times reporter who covered the Middle East. Shadid was quite simply the best mainstream reporter working the most important foreign beat in the world. From his superb coverage of Iraq to his groundbreaking reporting on the Arab Spring, he set the journalistic standard. Shadid's profound knowledge of the Arab world, his even-handedness, his historical sophistication, and above all his empathy for the ordinary people he wrote about, made him indispensable.
His death is not just a terrible loss to journalism: it is a loss to America. Even though the United States is at war with two Middle Eastern countries, and stands on the brink of war with a third, most Americans, including our politicians and many so-called "experts," know almost nothing about it – which is one of the reasons we embarked upon the disastrous Iraq war. Like all great reporters, Shadid penetrated the darkness. He took us not just into streets and cafes, but into hearts and minds. He showed the impact of decisions made by politicians and generals in far-away lands on housewives and young girls and street vendors, on small human beings just trying to live decent lives. He was our eyes.
In his extraordinary 2005 book "Night Draws Near: Iraq's People in the Shadow of America's War," Shadid wrote about one of those small people, a woman named Karima Salman, and her family. This is from my Salon review of the book:
"Karima, a desperately poor mother of eight, lived in a squalid, cockroach-infested apartment in Baghdad. The first story Shadid tells about her takes place before the war. Most of her family and friends had already fled Baghdad. She was exhausted, lonely, unable to pay the rent, faced with skyrocketing food prices. Her 21-year-old son, Ali, who had been working as a plumber, had been sent north days earlier to man an antiaircraft battery.
At their parting, movingly recounted by Shadid, Karima and Ali simply exchanged the basic phrases of Islam. "There is no God but God," she told Ali as he boarded a bus. "Muhammad is the messenger of God," Ali replied, completing the phrase. Her final words to him were prayers of farewell: "God be with you. God protect you." As she recounted their parting, tears ran down her cheeks. "A mother's heart rests on her son's heart,' she told Shadid. 'Every hour, I cry for him."

The Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. (Isaiah 50:4)
"Equipping Christian Educational Leaders"
If you are called to serve as a religious educator, chances are that you often experience the great satisfactions and the substantial challenges of that role.
The new Master of Religious Education (MRE) program at Quincy University has been designed to prepare you to teach with confidence and to share your experience within a community of fellow learners in a flexible, blended format.
The degree responds directly to the needs of Directors of Religious Education, educational administrators, high school religion/theology teachers, or pastors focusing on religious education. Our faculty members are prepared to provide the advanced training and theological depth required for success in this role. They also understand that study and guided practice in the techniques of teaching are fundamental to becoming an educator who inspires.
Of course, the MRE program is not limited only to those who seek opportunities to teach. Anyone who desires a deeper understanding of God, divine revelation, Scripture, the world, the relationship of faith and reason, and Christian ethics will benefit from the program.
Flexibility that Works
- Residence: Students begin the program with a two-week Summer residencyat Quincy University, forming lasting relationships with faculty and fellow students.
- Online learning: (Fall / Spring semesters).
- Culminating Experience: Portfolio, practicum, or comprehensive examoptions allow the student to customize the degree for classroom teaching, church ministry, ducational administration or further study.
This 33-credit program (10 courses and a culminating experience) includes a two-year academic cycle of required courses and electives, allowing students to complete the program at their own pace—from as little as18 months up to 5 years.
Coursework: During each fall and spring semester, students enroll in up to two online courses (6 credits). The two-week summer session allows students to enroll in up to 9 credit hours. Courses during the second summer session may be taken in residence or online.
Culminating Experience: Students may begin the 3-credit culminating experience upon completing 8 courses (24 credits). With faculty guidance and approval, the student chooses an experience most fitting to her or his vocational goals.
Things New and Things Old (Mt 13:52)—A Distinctive Degree
The MRE program explicates "things old" from Scripture and Christian tradition, yet the degree ---a "thing new"—meets contemporary challenges in Christian Religious Education. An ecumenically diverse faculty is committed to fostering the intellectual preparation of religious educators who seek to meet the need for a New Evangelization and to present the Christian faith in the modern world. Following in the way of St. Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscan order and spiritual foundation of Quincy University, the MRE program continues the Franciscan tradition of religious education in the present day. Our goal is to help students develop their own critical theological perspective through a rigorous engagement with sources both ancient and modern.
Whatever your role in religious education—teaching, administration, or ministry--- or for personal development, the MRE at Quincy University offers you an opportunity to deepen your understanding and appreciation of the Christian message. You are invited to participate in a rich theological education drawn from the treasures of "things old" in order to meet the ever-present need for well-equipped educators to embrace "things new."

Gary Farrell Sauvignon Blanc Redwood Ranch 2010 750ml
Gary Farrell
- California
- United States
- Sonoma Valley
Sauvignon Blanc grapes originated in France, where they are still widely grown today and treated to a wide range of processing practices from aging in oak barrels, blending with other varietals, and undergoing malolactic fermentation to encourage a more mellow, buttery finish. These green skinned white wine grapes are highly versatile, and are now grown in several countries around the world which have the correct climatic conditions for getting the best results from them. Generally, Sauvignon Blanc varietal grapes prefer a cooler climate, as too much heat dulls the flavor present in the fruit. As such, they are generally grown in valleys and on coastal areas, where they can benefit from cooling breezes before being typically harvested early in the summer. The grapes themselves produce wines which are often very dry and crisp, yet full of a wide range of flavors including grasses, tropical fruits and citrus notes.
Since the 18th century, California has been a hugely important and influential wine region, acting as a trailblazer for other New World wine regions and utilizing an important blend of traditional and contemporary practices, methods and techniques relating to their wine production. Split into four key areas the North Coast, the Central Coast, the South Coast and the Central Valley Californian wineries make the most of their ideal climate and rich variety of terrains in order to produce a fascinating range of wines made with a long list of different fine grape varietals. Today, the state has almost half a million acres under vine, and is one of the world's largest wine exporters, with Californian wines being drunk and enjoyed all across the globe.
For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.
California's beautiful and remarkably fertile Sonoma Valley has grown over the decades to become one of the United States' most respected and profitable wine regions, with wineries within the region benefiting from the superb Californian sunshine, low rainfall and wonderfully rich soils. Because of this vital combination of excellent conditions, the region is able to grow a wide range of grape varietals for use in the production of an impressive array of wines, with many different red and white wine grapes flourishing each year and producing excellent and characterful results. The soils have been enriched by volcanic activity, and the presence of geothermal springs, which make this region a unique one, and very much the beating heart of California's ever growing wine industry.

We'll provide more information on how to meet up with others travelling the same path as you on Sunday at the Summit, and then you just choose what you want at the restaurant and pay for what you had. Simple!
Laid back dining |
Take a short wander straight up Wellington's iconic Cuba Street, and nip around the corner to Marion Square where the laid back style of Duke Carvell's is waiting. |
Cuba Street Chic |
This short wander straight up Wellington's iconic Cuba Street will take you to the comfortable dining room of Floriditas. |
Cheap and cheerful ... and cocktails |
A short stroll along the twinkling lights of the Wellington waterfront, then up to Blair Street for some asian fusion dining, and pretty darn good cocktails. |
A taste of France |
This menu gives an indication of the dishes likely to feature on the final menu for the dinner - the committee will confirm the final menu closer to the time. |
This short wander straight up Wellington's iconic Cuba Street will offer you a taste of Paris. |

I don't want to go too bonkers over this Mark Sanford thing, but to be clear Josh Marshall is on the mark when he observes that to say someone is "on the appalachian trail" actually conveys very little information about that person's whereabouts. The trail is over 2,000 miles long. If I said "I'm somewhere in the Boston-Washington corridor" that would arguably describe a narrower range of possible locations.
Actually walking the whole trail is something people do, I think, but it's obviously a sort of idiosyncratic endeavor that's not compatible with being Governor of South Carolina. Normal people who want to do a few days of hiking and camping will normally be taking trips to a specific location on the trail. In the summer of 1995, for example, I went to Mount Washington in New Hampshire. The following summer I climbed Mount Katahdin in Maine. IIRC, at other points in my life I've been to the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and also part of the Appalachian Trail that's in New York State. But in any case, if you were taking any of those trips you'd tell people where you were actually going, not just gesture vaguely and thousands of miles worth of hiking possibilities running across the entire east coast.

Should GM, F Say Goodbye Europe?
Callum is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
European Weakness
In June, Europe's unemployment rate was 11.2%, a record high. Germany is fairing far better at 5.4% while France is floundering at 10.1%. The OECD estimate for euro zone growth is for a contraction of 0.2% this year and for 0.9% growth in 2013. They also estimated that the unemployment rate would hit 11.1% by the end of the year. Now, these estimates were made in May, and since then the unemployment rate has surpassed their estimate. This is bad news bears. This shows us that Europe is heading for a deeper recession which will cripple corporate earnings across the board for any company unlucky enough to have European exposure.
The disease Spreads
With 40% of China's GDP made up of exporting goods to the US and Europe. So, if Europe has weakness, so does China. With China being one of the few sources of growth in the world, when GDP starts to fall, investors panic and consumers lose confidence. If China's GDP growth slows, so does its needs for commodities, which in turn hurts major commodity producing regions (like South America). Plus, as you all know, European weakness hurts the US as well. This is known as the domino effect (or simply a global economy).
Auto Profits?
Last quarter, General Motors Inc (NYSE: GM) lost $361 million in Europe, compared to a $102 million profit last year. Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) lost $404 million last quarter in Europe as well, and expects to lose $1 billion in Europe, double their original $500 million estimate. Both GM and Ford are getting hit hard and it is clearly reflected in their stock price. Also, one funny fact is that GM hasn't had an operating profit in Europe since 1999. 1999! 13 years later and still chasing good money after bad, which is never a good idea. Plus, GM's management has no idea just how much money it is going to lose in Europe. Neither does Ford really, but at least they tried to give some guidance.
Chasing Good after Bad
Ford spent an extra $189 million in incentives in Europe last quarter than the previous quarter just to try to bring consumers in, but all this led to was smaller margins (or larger negative margins) and a large loss. When you are spending extra money just to lose money, you have to wonder what management is thinking. One thing Ford does get right is it sells the same cars and trucks in every country, so it can spend money more efficiently on research and development, which is much better than having to spread the R&D budget around, building different cars and trucks in each region. General Motors doesn't do this, so it has to spend more money on R&D to get similar results. So every time Opel and GM's Europe division spends money on R&D, it is money that wouldn't have had to be wasted if it had taken Ford's approach.
European Auto Sales
European auto sales have been sliding down a cliff for some time now. According to numbers released by the European Automobile Manufactures' Association, Italian auto sales fell 26.7%, France was down 23.2%, Spain was down 4.5%, Portugal was down 49.2%, Cyprus was down 35%, and Greece was down 42.6% (all year over year, and Spain had a very tough 2011 Q1, which is why it "seems" it's not that bad in Spain). As you can see from the graph, European auto sales are disappearing by the day. This has pushed auto sales down to 1994 levels. As far as anyone can tell, these sales will continue to decline for a while, as Italy's economy is expected to contract 2.4% this year and 0.4% next year. Combine this with France's stagnation and a slowing Germany (which is the largest European auto market), and it seems to be that European auto sales aren't going to recover until the structural problems of Europe are fixed.
Honda Motor Co (NYSE: HMC) lost 7.6 billion yen ($95 million) in Europe in their latest quarter, which is up from the 6.1 billion yen ($76.25 million) loss it had in Europe in the same quarter last year. Honda posted huge sales growth in North America at 66%, 61% in Japan, 37% for Asia (excluding Japan), but the only region where sales fell, you guessed it, was Europe. European sales were down 2% while every other region was firing on all cylinders. Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE: TM) only has 4% of the European auto market share, which is about 10% of its overall sales. Because of this limited exposure, it was able to see an overall rise in European sales in its latest quarter. So some automakers are finding ways to get by and weather the storm.
Benefits of Leaving
The two main players that would benefit from leaving Europe are GM and Ford. If Ford was to leave Europe, assuming that they are going to lose $1 billion dollars there this year, at a PE of the current year's estimate of 6.9 Ford's market cap of $34.7 billion would increase by $6.9 billion. That would cause a 20% bounce (in theory) to Ford's stock price. Not bad. Plus, that extra $1 billion a year could be put towards paying down debt and expanding into Asia's booming market (which is pegged to be at 16.09 million according to China's automotive ministry), which would further increase Ford's stock price. Also, if you take away the uncertainty investors are placing in Ford due to Europe, it could go higher. Now, if anyone should leave Europe, it would be General Motors. GM hasn't posted a profit in Europe for 13 years, and according to its management, won't anytime soon. Every dollar GM puts into Europe is a dollar wasted. GM should sell off Opel and GM Europe and exit Europe entirely. The reason why GM's stock price is trading $20 and not $25 or $30 is because of all the uncertainty investors are placing in GM's stock because of European problems. I don't know how high GM's stock would go if it exited Europe, but I wouldn't be surprised to see $30 in the near term and in the long term to see stable profit generation and the possibility for the US to exit at a profit ($53 a share).
Final Thoughts
While I don't think Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Honda, or any other major auto maker will leave Europe anytime soon, I do think GM stands to gain the most if it does leave. It has lost money for over a decade and will continue losing money in Europe for a long time. Ford would also stand to gain from leaving Europe, but if Europe's economy turns around it would probably want to be there making money. Unlike GM, Ford has been profitable in Europe and would benefit from staying in Europe for the time being, but Ford should shed a large part of its production, as it is doing. All players in Europe should cut down on their production in Europe due to large drop in demand which will continue to push auto sales lower for some time. Toyota is doing very well because it has limited exposure to Europe. Europe will continue to be a mess for some time, and I would strongly advise GM to simply pack its bags and leave the arena.

I'm trying to make a simple macro recorder that records what a user types in and saves it. However, to get modifier keys to work with what I've made so far, I need to press and release the modifier and then the press and release the key. This won't do because I want to be able to record as I see what I'm doing - say, for example, I am navigating a program with various GUIs with various &hotkeys and I want to record a macro on the fly. If I press Alt+e to activate a button that opens, say, an editing window, where I will continue recording my macro, I would have to press and release alt and then press and release e, which would not press the button (in fact, it might do something else entirely, like open the edit menu).
I've noticed AutoScriptWriter adds {Control Down} and {Control Up} when Ctrl is pressed. How does it do this?
Here's the snippet of my attempts thus far:
text := "" Again: Input, text, V L1, {Control Down}{Control Up}{LAlt}{RAlt}{LWin}{LShift}{RShift}{BS}{RWin}{AppsKey}{F1}{F2}{F3}{F4}{F5}{F6}{F7}{F8}{F9}{F10}{F11}{F12}{Left}{Right}{Up}{Down}{Home}{End}{PgUp}{PgDn}{Del}{Ins}{Capslock}{Numlock}{PrintScreen}{Pause}{Escape} IfInString, ErrorLevel, EndKey { StringTrimLeft, ErrorLevel, ErrorLevel, 7 If (ErrorLevel != "Pause") script := script text "{" ErrorLevel "}" else if (ErrorLevel = "Pause") { script := script text goto End } ToolTip, %script% goto Again } script := script text ToolTip, %script% goto Again End: Tooltip return

After a long day luxuriating on Costa Rica's stunning beaches or exploring lush rainforests, nothing beats grabbing a cold brew with the locals. If you're planning on spending time in Cartago, you've got plenty of options when it comes to local watering holes. Come with me and let's find the best places to grab a drink!
When visiting Costa Rica, tourists often decide to stay in the capital of San Jose due to its central location. Many of the country's national parks and cultural attractions are within easy reach of the city, making it a perfect base of operations for curious explorers. However, hiking around the rainforest can be thirsty work, and nothing beats chilling out with the locals and enjoying a cold beer. Follow me to find the best bars in the Central Valley!
It's no secret that Ticos like to enjoy a cold beer after a long day. Although locally brewed favorites like Imperial and Pilsen are common in Costa Rican bars and restaurants, the number of craft beers produced here has been a little lacking. However, as microbrewing has become popular around the world, Ticos are catching on and a number of small, independent brewers are producing some of the finest craft beers in Central America. Let's learn more about the newest players on the craft beer scene and their delicious products!
The Costa Rican people, known colloquially as Ticos, are famed for their laid-back lifestyle. After a long day, many Costa Ricans enjoy relaxing in the tropical weather with an ice-cold brew. If you're a fan of the amber nectar, you might be wondering what Costa Rican beer is like. Come with me to find out!
For tourists visiting Costa Rica, the capital of San Jose often serves as an ideal base of operations. With so many of the country's national parks within reach, San Jose is the perfect place to stay if you're planning a hiking vacation in southern inland Costa Rica. Come with me to learn more about the best hikes in this beautiful region!
When I'm out and about, traveling through Costa Rica's rainforests with my brothers and sisters, there are few areas we like to explore as much as the Caribbean Coast, and we often see tourists making their way through the jungle on their own adventures. This area is one of the most biologically diverse in the whole country, thanks to its miles of sandy beaches, tropical forests and mangrove swamps. Come with me to discover the best places to go hiking on the Caribbean Coast!

Parking Rules Resume Monday Nov. 19, Damaged Cars Must be Towed
If your car was damaged in the flood it must be towed by Monday Nov. 19.
For one more week, enforcement of permit parking regulations and alternate side parking for street cleaning will remain suspended, according to an announcement from the city.
Partial enforcement resumes on Tuesday at 12:01 a.m., the city announced. If you park east of Bloomfield Street, you'll have to feed the meter starting Tuesday.
All other non-permit and non-street cleaning parking enforcement is in effect startin Tuesday. (For example: parking too close to a crosswalk, stop sign, fire hyrdrant, in a bus stop, driveway, car-sharing space, handicapped space, temporary "No Parking" signs, and parking on the sidewalk.)
Any vehicle that was stranded and damaged in the flood caused by Sandy will have to be towed by Monday Nov. 19. A car without plates will be considered abandoned.
Also from the city:
If you believe your vehicle has been towed, first call the Parking Utility at 201-653-1919 or the Police Department at 201-420-2100 to determine if your vehicle has been towed and to which location.
For those taking a Hoboken taxi to a tow yard, the City is now offsetting the full cost of the fare, so long as a receipt is provided by the taxi driver. The taxi fare must be paid to the taxi driver, after which a receipt should be requested. The receipt must indicate the date, time, cost, taxi number and driver name. The City will then deduct the fare amount from the towing fee after a receipt has been provided to the tow yard contractor. Regular taxi fares to the four towing companies are: Mile Square Towing: $5, John's Main Auto Body: $17, Logan Towing: $21, Truchan Brothers: $23.
9:15 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
The city really should wait a bit longer. Insurance companies can't get the cars out of town by Monday. There are literally hundreds of cars that still need to be towed. Enforcing parking rules will only add to the misery that folks have been experiencing.
6:41 am on Sunday, November 11, 2012
I agree with you. Our van is still there,our insurance has thousands of car's to tow all over. Mayor should give the owners of these cars time for the insurance company to pick up the car's.
7:28 am on Sunday, November 11, 2012
This is exactly what you should do to people who not only lost there belongings but also there car. What a joke. I have been calling state farm daily to ket them know wjat is going on and they like you guys said have tons to pick up. Hoboken should be embarrassed to even think this. As if we really want to be reminded that we don't have a car anymore. Giving a ticket does not move the car nor does it teach you a lesson. It simply pisses you off and gives you another bad taste in your mouth about this town.
12:22 am on Monday, November 12, 2012
To the prior posters I do hear what you are saying but are you saying you on your own cant get your car towed by a local towing company in the meantime instead of waiting on your insurance company? That sounds kind of strange? Clearly the local towing companies are available and why should the city be littered with cars that cannot be moved and with many having broken windows which is a hazard to all. On top of that, you knew this storm was coming and were warned about flooding, yet you kept your cars parked on the street even when the city warned everyone of what might happen? To now blame the city is silly, you need to take responsibility for your error in judgement and deal with this accordingly.

I'm split here. I agree with No fan of in respect to the city did warn everyone and if you didn't move it then you took on the risk of having your car flooded. Hoboken is known as a town where if you spill your drink, there is a flood somewhere. It was evident this would occur especially mixed in with a Nor'easter. However there are many people that are new to town who are unaware of the flooding issues as well as people that have been here and were either away or in a position to not move their vehicles. Perhaps the city will extend only the unmovable cars another week and let everything else go in to effect. The city has extended the rules for another week, they have the ability to extend it should they deem the situation is worse a week from now.
9:07 am on Monday, November 12, 2012
This seems very reasonable. The storm hit on October 29th and the City isn't towing damaged cars until November 19th, three full weeks after the storm. If three weeks isn't reasonable to have a car towed what is?
9:44 am on Monday, November 12, 2012
I feel terrible that your property was damaged, but the cleanup must continue. There is nothing preventing you from moving your car to a lot or another location - private tow companies. Additionally, if your car gets towed by the city there is an argument that the insurance company will have to pay the tab.
10:35 am on Monday, November 12, 2012
Many people called on October 31 to have their cars towed and still haven't had it happen. In my building alone, about half of the cars are still in our garage because of the backup. I was told by a tow truck driver yesterday that they could only take the 2 cars on their list, despite 3 others being part of the same insurance company and having room on the truck. They were towing the 2 down to Trenton to be appraised & re-sold for parts. The team was out of Louisiana and told me that people from as far away as Iowa were driving tow trucks in our town to get rid of the cars. Over 250,000 cars in the NYC metro are destroyed. It takes time to remove them. If my car had been on the street instead of in my garage, I would not pay to tow it to a yard & then pay for storage at the yard. I'd just take my chances on street cleaning tickets until the tow truck got there. I also wouldn't remove my plates until the truck was coming.

By the end of WWI, the Greeks whom we still hear claiming they want "no more lost homelands" reclaimed the recognition of their patris on the south-eastern Black Sea shore. Like for their Ancient and Byzantine ancestors, the strongest foundation of their identity was their difference from their environment and their claimed kinship with the Mediterranean Hellenism. However, above their attachment to Hellenicity, their community has been always defined by their Aegean cognates through their remoteness and acculturation.
A critical, global history of Hellenism in Pontus still needs to be written. Several points suggest the complexity of this study. "Pontus" designates the surroundings of the Euxine Sea and the North-Eastern Asia Minor – two territories whose real and imaginary frontiers have been shifting during four millennia of history. The sources, partial and fragmentary, involve multidisciplinary methodologies. The theoretical concept of "identity" must be refined: as Pontikos and Pontios cover different cultural realities, represented by various concepts over the time, the research must be focused on singulary aspects mentioned alltogether in the claims of the Pontians.
Concentrating on the Ancient Pontians, one undertands the need to distinguish between "Pontiacness", as a geographic identity which corresponds to topic groups, and "Pontianness", as an ethnic identity which involves community of language, religion, customs, and memory of single origin. The first Pontian ethnos was proclaimed in the context of Mithridates Eupator's kingdom and of Pompey's Bithynian province. A political willpower, extending upon a territory and acting for the cultural uniformisation of a plural society are the three factors to be studied in order to explain what made this people a people. Achaemenid, Anatolian and Hellenic elements, revealed by litterary, epigraphic, numismatic sources and archaeological finds, fournished the material of this historical process.
