ONE fast, smashing, veg, one-bite app please! [Moved from General Topics board]
- k
- kelkelkelw Oct 23, 2007 09:36 PM
I have a reputation to hold up, but this week no time to execute. Attending a wine'n'apps event Thursday and need a one-bite (no dips, no plates/forks) that is vegetarian, FAST, and absolutely out-of-this-world. I cannot relinquish my shiny hors d'oeuvres crown now, but I've got to put something together in about an hour before the event... considering the fig/bleu/pecan/endive app from chow, but would love some other speedy smashing ideas.
MUCHAS in advance,
- Kel
My go to at this time of year is yams sliced into rounds baked with olive oil till soft topped with cream frais and black sea salt. or truffled popcorn. hope that helps :)
re: revsharkie
I guess that's CLOSE to vegetarian. :)
re: invinotheresverde
Bacon is the reason I'm not a vegetarian...
recently attended a wedding where there were some beautiful classic tiny melba toasts w/boursin and figs.
Get large, pitted olives off the olive bar and stuff with bleu chees, and/or marcona almond.
Teeny corn muffins (cheat - use a mix) with a bit of added cayenne, and topped with a dollop of either pepper jelly or soft cheese.
The ever popular "cheese cookie" recipe that's basically shredded sharp cheese, flour, cayenne and butter. Always a hit with drinks. They bake quickly.
Fill the little pre-made phyllo cups with a garlicky and lemony homemade hummus.
re: piccola
Toasted baguette pieces with pesto. Very simple, people gobble them up, and the toasted surface keeps the pesto from soaking the bread.
Stuffed mushrooms, or those little phyllo cups filled with duxelles or caramelized onion and hazelnuts. Gougeres are always popular and well received.
Spread baguette slices with good chevre, sprinkle with rosemary and pecans and bake for about 6-7 minutes, drizzle with honey before serving. I found this recipe on Epicurious several years ago and people beg me to make it for every event.
re: hrhboo
Hopefully this isnt too late. My mom always makes these amazing little morsels anytime she has a cocktail party and they are delicious.She sautes chopped portobello mushrooms with some butter, scallions, dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and a dash of white wine. Fills mini filo dough cups (the kind you can get in the supermarket) with this mixture and puts a dollop of brie on each and bakes until the cheese is melted and the filo is golden around the edges. I don't have the exact proportions but it's really hard to screw up.
re: pamplemouse
Stuff wonton skins with goat cheese or similarly textured cheese (Boursin?), roasted red peppers, whatever else floats your boat. You may choose to brush with a bit of olive oil or butter. Put on baking sheet or preferably in mini muffin tins (holds shape better). Bake till GBD.
Ideas: Carmelized onion in puff pastry "bun". Cut puff pastry into quarter size rounds and bake according to directions. Fill with thyme balsamic glazed onions.
Buy tiny tart shells and fill with braised short ribs or oxtail.

Friendly staff and clean rooms. Will be stopping there again.
Nice hotel in a quite location. Short walk to restaurant and shops and only a 5-10 minute taxi ride to the Medina. Good value hotel. Ishma was very friendly and informative for the duration of our stay, many thanks to him.
Be careful if using the balcony while in the room on your own. One of the people within our party was staying in a room alone and decided to step out for a cigarette, closing the door behind to prevent any bugs entering the room only to find that the door could not be opened from the outside! This resulted in a lengthy period on the balcony which the staff didn't seem concerned about.
-Better to book it with booking.com then directly with a hotel.
What I liked very good staff and good service, I recommend cam back again here in this hotel
no wifi in the room !!!!
I liked the whole experience. The staff was excellent. That is all. Good place to go for vacation.
The pool was excellent - an essential in the heat. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The restaurant next door (owned by the hotel) was the best of our (5 night) stay.
Breakfasts were mediocre to poor. Little fruit and an obsession with cake and sugar. TV channels (Moroccan) did not work and no news channel. 3 clothes hangars for 2 people! But you get what you pay for! Generally mint tea is overly sweet and milk is often condensed in coffee. Although we are both fairly abstemious getting an alcoholic drink was not easy in Marrakech. We drank a lot of fresh orange juice - which was good!
Very spacious rooms, ideal for a family . Nice pool if it was heated then perfect. Great to have a kitchen also. We really enjoyed our stay.
Odour from bathroom.
The location is good being near the railway station with various restaurants within walking distance.
The WIFI can be very slow at times in the room.
The check-in receptionist worked with us very well to resolve an issue we had had earlier when checking out earlier than ou reserved time.
The restaurants need to shape up a bit on timeliness and on serving food faster.
The staff could have some more training. They are not at all interested in customer service.
Everyone was very, very friendly and helpful..........from the check-in receptionist to the restaurant staff to the cleaning ladies! I will definitely stay at this hotel when I return to Marrakech!
We stayed at this hotel twice during our Moroccan visit. We had a booking problem during our initial stay and the guy at the desk appeared helpless and laid the blame on booking.com. At the end of our visit to Morocco, we stayed there again and the guy at the reception desk was totally helpful and made excellent decisions without even refering to booking.com (which was a wise move as booking.com is a total loser!).
everything is wonderful, but you need taxi to other places if you want to visit, near train station,
wifi is not good
Good breakfast. Near the train station and bus stations, but streets in the neighbor are pretty dark late at night.
Great to have a pool as very hot when there
Staff tried to be helpful Mint tea and toast
The service is not great The food is difficult to choose unless you know French. The menu has limited choice
We liked the style of hotel, beautiful bathroom, lovely decor. Hotel is close to the train station and the aurport so it was good choice for as we stayed one night and took a coach to Agadir next day.
The rooms were great, very comfortable bed. The pool was also fabulous, never too busy.
Hotel location was perfect for me. Very good SPA. Hotel decoration, pool with the terrace was just nice.
Wifi was too slow. Breakfast can be more different..
what a nice breakfast!
no laundry system and hair dryer
1. The location is good to journey other cities as the train station is near the hotel. However, it is not good to enjoy the medina. There need taxi to come back to hotel and it is quite diffidult to take a taxi in the busy medina. 2. Cheap price 3. Kind staff
I went to this hotel, even though there were some bad reviews in terms of confirmation of booking. Because I thought it would be rare case. But I've also experienced the same unpleasnt case as other guests. I booked two rooms with a terrace but they said I booked one standard room.I showed the booking confirmation but they denyed several times. What a tiring check in system!! In fact, they don't have any booking confirmation system. In room, there is nothing. You will need to ask even basic facilities or items such as a shampoo, a soap, a hair drier, and so on. A friend of mine was tired of this situation so he just bought the items by himself outside. My air-conditioner didn't work. I reported about that but they didn't manage it. Finally, I opened the window when I slept and many moschitoes bited me a lot even my face... I think they need to improve booking confirmation system and provide exact information on the booking.com website.
The hotel is actually fine, with a pleasant decoration and pool. Breakfast by the pool was nice.
Unfortunately it is badly run, with particularly poor personnel at the reception. Upon arrival we were commanded to pay before being handed the room key (despite having tired children pressed to get in). Finally when we did get to our room we were greeted by an uneasant smell of waste pipes. All the reception guys did was send the cleaning lady! Obviously pointless. No room change was possible. Also, at the pool we asked twice for towels to no avail. A waste of a potentially good hotel. There are so many better options in Marrakech.
Lots of Moroccan charm! Lovely lobby and many attractive Moroccan touches in the rooms. Suites are a great option for a family with a small child (maybe two small children). Staff were very helpful and nice. We choose a suite for the two of us, because rooms tend to be small in Morocco. If you like an affordable hotel with local charm/ambience, this is a very good choice!
Floors in the rooms need to be refurbished or replaced. They look somewhat dirty. Particularly bad in the toilet area. Avoid suite #101, unless they guarantee you that the have ripped out the bathroom floor, found the problem and fixed it! The stench filled the entire suite and we stayed two days there before they were able to move us. The hotel is not walking distance from the old city. Grab a petit yellow taxi out front (the bigger Mercedes taxis cost more). Make sure to bargain about the price BEFORE you get into the cab! That's true, by the way, from snake charmers to taxis- decide on a price you're willing to pay, and don't accept a service until there is an agreement.
Leaving the property earlier than planned
Everything. The service was poor. The room was nothing like the images portrayed. The staff never did anything I asked. like giving me the code for the safe. Breakfast made me ill. Nothing was chilled. It was the pits. Staff lied about giving me a refund, then wanted me bank details. Insects all over my room. The room and linen smelled of smoke.
Reception service and client treatment. Congratulations Mr. Hicham, very good professional.
Nice atmosphere and good central location, value for money.
A bit noisy from traffic.

Social media came to forefront in 2008. The promise of social media marketing as a relatively cheap way to influence consumers and build buzz had brands talking (or tweeting). In fact, a recent study by eMarketer shows that 41% percent of marketers plan to implement a social media campaign in 2009. TWI Surveys indicates that spending on social media and conversational marketing will outpace that of traditional marketing by 2012. With so much potential for marketers, it seems that there are almost no downsides to social media.
Except one.
Until recently, marketers had to rely on spotty data, arbitrary numbers and gut instinct to gauge the success of these campaigns, giving them relative immunity from analysis and scrutiny. But businesses are now tapping into social media metrics to hold such campaigns accountable. Social Media Analytics interprets the high-volume, often chaotic data generated online, measuring such things as negative and positive mentions, buzz level and source authority surrounding a campaign. Results are then presented in an easily digestible dashboard format reflective of the campaign's effectiveness.
Detailed metrics help marketers hold social media campaigns to the same scrutiny as any other interactive campaign, providing deeper insight into how the campaign is unfolding. These metrics also help us hone in on the properties that need more creative management and provides an outline on what needs to be done.
Mojave provides detailed social medial analytics for our clients through a simple dashboard interface. This allows our clients to tap into resource and see at a glance what's working and what's not. For more information on how we can launch and track a social media campaign for your brand, feel free to contact us.

Alice is about to go down the Rabbit Hole.
I'm not good with weird angles without a reference, so she looks like she's got wrong proportions. Oh well. I just thought it's a fun idea for Alice to be chasing a Playboy Bunny instead of a White Rabbit.
Also, boobs. Boobs are a good reason to draw things.
Rated 4 / 5 stars Oct 16, 2009
The "wrong angle" is VERY apropriate for this drawing, especially since it depicts content related to Alice in Wonderland (which is generally "wrong". Good work on this one.
Alice was never my thing, but suddenly I felt like it...

Thanx. Sometimes being lazy pays off - the atmosphere is due to that, I was too lazy to color this the way I usually do :)

Apartment Therapy's Guide to Regifting
I'm guilty of it, and you probably are too: regifting. Depending on how you look at it, it's either tacky and thoughtless, or just plain common sense. I fall in the latter camp, and happily pass on things that were given to me, which I have no use or desire for. To not regift is wasteful, for one. Why let unnecessary stuff pile up? Better that the gift should fulfill its holiday destiny than become consumer roadkill in your already cluttered house.
- Gifts are just like human relationships, in that it's all about fit. And if that gift doesn't fit, then it's time to move on. Moving on in this case means finding the right person to appreciate said item.
- If you have the space, dedicate a drawer or other area to gifts you plan to pay forward. When the situation arises, you'll have a good mental inventory of what you have, and/or can easily check your stash.
- That said, don't pass on something you know the new owner won't appreciate, just because it's on hand. Only regift if it makes sense to do so. Then, and only then, is it a win win for both parties.
- Remember, the receiver has no idea that this is a gift that you got from someone else. Explain why you thought they'd like it, just as you would any other gift. If you chose your regift properly, it will seem perfect in their eyes. It's all about perceived value.
- What is tacky, in my eyes, is to use the gift before you give it away. There's a difference between regifting something, and just handing off something that you decided you no longer like. That's not a present; it's just a hand-me-down or donation. (There's nothing wrong with hand-me-downs— just don't call them gifts).
- Don't get offended if you yourself are the recipient of a regift. Chances are good you'll never know in the first place, but if you find out, it's not the end of the world. Put yourself in their shoes and ask if you'd do the same. And hey, you can always regift it again.

Yes. I receive gifts that I cannot use in my home or office, usually from coworkers, casual friends. I will note who gave it to me and keep in box. When someone has a birthday, I check the box and see if there is an appropriate gift, keeping in mind who gave me gift originally. I believe it is ok to regift.
I agree that it only makes sense to pass along something that you may not use. I'm not sure if I, personally, would think of it as a gift, though. I'd be more inclined to just give it to someone I know would appreciate it. Not for their birthday or whatever. Just because. That would keep my conscience clear.
My worst re-gifting story: My ex sister-in-law gave my father a bunch of books for Xmas. As he's wont to do, he looked at the inside of one of them and there was my handwriting. It was a book I had given my brother and inscribed inside why I thought he would appreciate it! Now, that's tacky. :)
Regifting is fine as long as you are giving the gift because you're sure the recipient will like it. I like Suezq's idea of giving the gift not to get credit for it for an occasion, but explaining it's an item you can't use. That gives them the option of declining it. But if they like it, they will remember your generosity and thoughtful approach of passing it along as a non-gift.
If you still want to wrap it and get credit, triple check that there is no gift card or personal note anywhere, or you'll get dissed in somebody's blog for sure.
Ok...here's what I think about re-gifting. The people who feel it is ok are the people who re-gift. But I have yet to hear from a person who has gotten a re-gift who thinks it is a NICE way to have received a gift. That's because it feels awful to be the one who has gotten the re-gifted present. It is easily spotted. It is usually inappropriate. Even if it isn't as obvious as receiving something inscribed to someone else. You know it was not meant for you. Tell tale signs are there. The packaging maybe just slightly old, the box is dusty or dinged, it's not your scent, it was a hot item last year...on and on and on. Or it is all wrapped up very nicely but you know the person who gave it to you doesn't shop in that store...when you open the box you can tell...it is just wrong and they hope no one will notice. No folks re-gifting is not a nice they to do. The final recipient feels insulted.
The only way re-gifting works is NOT to wrap the item up as a gift. But just to pass it along saying ,"someone gave this to me. I can't use it but it seems like something you might enjoy." That makes all the difference. It becomes thoughtful. Wrapping something up , as if you took time and purchased it is tacky. There's just no getting around that.
Well June, I get regifts all the time and LOVE them, in fact I suggest it. My sister works for a major studio where they get stuff like prada wallets, docking stations, ipods, tiffany clocks etc...often she complains about not needing one of these items and the next year I get it!
this same sister I got a really pretty necklace with a semiprecious stone for, and then added a book of folk music I got for 99 cents. While she said she liked the necklace, she LOVED the folk music because it had some songs she didn't already have. so it really is the thought that counts.
the key is being thoughtful and careful about these. I have a cousin that sometimes gets me things and sometimes doesn't, so I wait until I get something because I don't want her to feel weird if she DID NOT get me something...so a lot of times these "in case" gifts are boxes of candy I get from work.
I don't have a problem with either side of this equation. if it's nice and I can use it its a good gift regardless of the origin.
I've regifted a couple of things, but only in the instance that the moment I opened the gift, I thought ... this should go to so-and-so. Because it didn't fit me but it fit the other person so well. But I usually still buy something else because I had already budgeted to do so. It's like a 'bonus' gift.
It doesn't bother me if somebody gives me a regift if it fits me. I only ask that something be thoughtful, never pricey. If somebody gave me a slightly dusty box of a food dehydrator that somebody had given them years ago and it sat unused in their pantry, I'd be thrilled simply because I actually would like to have a food dehydrator. Just keep it thoughtful.
Worst regift I've experienced was my boyfriends mom giving me a scarf for Christmas that I had given to her the year before. Oops...
While I might pass along a gift I've received to someone else, I don't wait until a gift giving occasion to do so...I'll say hey, I got this from ___ at ____ and I won't use it but I know/thought that you would. Would you like it? That way, I'm not trying to hide the fact it's a regift, the item gets used by someone that wants/needs/likes it and I don't have a closet full of items I don't need/want/use.
My boyfriend has a new method for regifting, and I think it is way better. He hands the gift to the recipient and says, "It's a regift". Simple.And I'd much rather know that my other gifts are *not* regifts. Not to mention how important honesty is in a relationship. I value that over new presents any day.
My family tends to give me lots of gifts and then for several of them, they say "I know you probably don't like this sort of thing". For those items, I tend to sell them at a tag sale (usually years later).
I'm the same as Donald. I don't wait until an opportunity arises as I don't do much gift at holiday giving anyway. If I receive (or buy and arent' able to return) an item I have no use for, I immediately think about whether I have any friends or family that it would be a good fit for and give it to them. I also am selling my clothes online so I'll stick small things in with a sale as a free gift for the buyer.
I'm a budding minimalist with a long way to go so I don't like to keep things around I know I won't use.
I do however profusely thank everyone for their gifts and I mean it. I'm just so happy and grateful someone thought of me in the first place.
Reuse; Recycle; Regift.
Even if you think a gift is perfectly spot-on, you have to consider that the recipient might try to return it and anticipate what they'll encounter. Will they find out that the store hasn't carried it for over a year? Awkward. (This is why I don't even like legitimately shopping for people year-round or getting gifts from such shoppers... return/exchange policies are often just 30-90 days.)
I use office gifts (candles, etc.) As stocking stuffers. They work and aren't guilt-laden because they aren't the main prize.
I think it depends on the situation. I once received a Christmas gift and was promptly told that the giver received it as a free gift with purchase. That rubbed me the wrong way, since I never would have guessed it otherwise. This year, a friend gave me a small tree sapling that I know was a thank you gift from a subscription she has, but she told me she wanted me to have it since I love plants. I guess it's the thought that counts.
Who has the space to keep around a bunch of stuff you don't want. I've never re-gifted, and can't imagine having a drawer of crap I don't want just waiting to give it to someone else. And who is getting all of these extraneous gifts they don't want anyhow?
I don't exchange gifts with anybody except my domestic partner, and re-gifting is not an issue. (Except for random stuff co-workers give me...)
But when my life was less simple, I couldn't bring myself to pass anything along as though I selected it. I either gave the stuff to a friend as is (I can't use this maybe you can) or I donated it to a thrift shop.
I am sure I was given re-gifted things in those days, and they probably all went to way of the thrift shop.
If you don't know somebody well enough to be pretty clear whether they would like something, maybe you shouldn't give them gifts at all...
This year I was gifted a set of very nice ornaments that I will never use by a relative who either picked them up last minute or regifted them to me. I am keeping them for next year (when I will be done with school and in my first post-grad job) incase my future employer does a gift exchange. While I would much prefer to put more thought and effort into gifts it's nice to know I have them in an emergency and I know that realistically I will not be able to afford many gifts my first year out of school.
My husband & I re-gifted a Native American art piece that his ex had given him - after they had split. We had it framed nicely and gave to someone who would appreciate it. I think as long as the gift is thoughtful, that's what counts.
every year everyone says, oh, i love your gifts carol, you give the best stuff. it's been so long i've gotten a good gift that i've asked my family to stop even giving me anything. last week my mom gave me ANOTHER bath robe and gown, in fact two gowns and two bathrobes, one a creepy old lady fleece bathrobe that zips up the front. she knows she's never seen me wear anything like that in my entire life. and what did she give me last year? two bathrobes (my birthday is 12/23) that are still in their boxes in my closet, unworn. i hate to see my mom spend her money on this stuff (she's retired) that i'm never going to use. so i've gathered it all up and i'm dropping off at the nursing home i pass by on the way to work.
Regifting, my daughter's fiance states, is the stuff of a "Yankee Swap" where everyone brings something they don't use and you get the chance to bid up for what you want.
I've been in charge of silent auctions where many donations are regifts. Those are the hardest to get bids on. If they aren't a good fit for the occasion, don't go there. Exceptions would be bottles of alcohol as there is someone who would like it.
Not sure why regift seems to be synonymous with 'packaged gift set' or junk. I received a beautiful pink wool scarf from a friend who went to Iceland a few years ago but never used it. This year I gave it to a co-worker who is obsessed with pink. She's happy, I'm happy and I used my resources wisely. I also have a new in box ice cream maker that will be gifted to my sister in law this year for her birthday, along with an ice cream recipe book (jeni's!) You can't tell me there's anything cheap, thoughtless, or wrong with that.
yeah i'm not sure why people who lovingly buy antiques have a problem with something that hasn't come directly from a store to them. some of my favorite gifts have been regifts
I received a set of furniture movers for Christmas from my mother in law. I am a woman. I weigh 90 smth pounds. I am not moving any furniture by myself. I dont have furniture. I dont have a house. And not only she thought this was an appropriate gift for me (why not give it to her son????), she also expected me to jump up and cry with happiness and be excited. WTF!
And P.S. I cannot regift any of my Christmas gifts because I receive a lot of crap. Polyester and useless cheap quality items. I couldnt possibly offend anyone with stuff like this
Exactly. I only regift very nice items that I actually LIKE but can't use for one reason or another. If it's a sort of generic gifty-gift (candles, soaps, scarves, gloves, coffee table book, decorative platter etc.) I wouldn't have any qualms about wrapping it as a gift. If it's something a little more personal like a clothing item, I'd probably just pass it on to a friend as a non-gift just in case it didn't fit or wasn't to their taste.
My mother and I are thrift store shoppers and she'll frequently add a few thrift store bargains to my Christmas/Birthday stash of presents. I also have a list of my friends sizes and their "wish list" in my wallet because I seem to have a knack for finding exactly what they're looking for.
If I get a gift I don't like or can't use, I usally say something. I realize that might sound like 'it's NOT the thought that counts, but if I dont' mention it, I feel it's a huge waste of THEIR money. They bought it for me, not for someone else so I don't regift. I ask the same. If someone doesn't care for a gift I gave PLEASE let me know otherwise, I'll continue to buy the same. I don't like the thought of my money being thrown away. You want a Gift Card instead...you got it. For gifts I recieved from Secret Santas, I will GIVE away, not re-gift.
A "friend" of mine sent me a few pre-wedding gifts (this was a few years ago) and one of the items was a really ugly wedding album; I mean, she *knew* that it was not my style at all and that I would not use it. The rest was ugly lingerie. I returned the lingerie with no problem, but the album was from Macys, and they said that the item had not been in stock in a very long time. I immediately knew that it had come from the "gift closet" she keeps, some are things bought on clearance, others are gifts they won't use and can't return. I had several weddings to go to after my own, so I regifted the album to someone who's style it fit better. It was mostly irritating because she knew I wouldn't like it and couldn't return it.
BUT regifting is not an issue for me. I have gotten a few things that I knew were just being "passed" to me, but if it is something I really like, I don't care where it came from.
Last Christmas my in-laws gave my husband a beer making kit that we had bought for my FIL years and years ago. So long ago that all of the yeast and such inside was expired. This year I received from my in-laws a ceramic jar shaped like a wrapped present. I turned it over the other day to see Bath & Body Works 1997 on the bottom. Some people need to work on their re-gifting skills, otherwise the recipient just feels sad.
If you get your designer items via, say, Homegoods, you can return for store credit even past their usual return date (which I believe is just for cash). So that's one thing I think Homegoods has over department stores and brand-specific stores. Then again, the item I returned months past the date on the receipt (which I didn't actually bring with me... heh...) was still sort of in stock. Then again, tri-ply cookware is never really out of style, I think.
Eh... I agree with June and others. If it's a gift I don't need but think someone else will appreciate, then I just GIVE it to them. I'm not going to go pretending it was my gift for an occasion. It's the thought that counts, and a regift is really close to thoughtless in most cases.
Otherwise, gifts I don't need I sell or donate almost immediately. I've got a wish list, and I've made it clear to my fam that we're trying to downsize. My SIL even said this year, "I went off the list on some stuff, so just keep what you like!" I feel that way about gifts to people too. I try my best, but if you don't like, please, please don't clutter up your house out of obligation!
We as a society are starting to recognize the madness of mass consumerism, and I've been guilty. I have lusted after objects. I also have learned to live lean, live smaller and more blissfully, and that includes recycling, upcycling, and making sure things get used and not thrown out because they aren't perfect for me. Re-gifting falls along in that philosophy. Just make sure the gift is one you would have bought for the person you are giving it to if the chance had presented itself.

This is a tricky one since we choose not to pass along gifts we consider unhealthy or from businesses we'd like to see everyone boycotting. We did receive two gifts this Christmas we passed on (as in passed up) - one was a box of 'all natural' cookies that weren't at all natural (organic/GMO-free) and the other was a gift certificate for See's, a company known to source the cocoa used to make its chocolate from places where child slavery and forced labor are big problems.
My husband gave one of the cookies to a co-worker (who happened to be there when he opened the package), then threw away the rest. The See's gift certificate is sitting at the bottom of a drawer until I can think of a good use for it - maybe as a bookmark or for my next slave-free chocolate project.
Even though most of our friends and family know about our lifestyle choices, some still don't quite get it - which is why we ask them *not* to send us gifts anymore.
A few years ago I sent a box of chocolates with my roommate to give to her parents for Christmas. Two days later she returns home with a gift for me...The very same box of chocolates. Awkward!
There is a simpler solution - stop exchanging gifts! For years, my relatives gave me things for which I had no use or that did not suit my taste. I felt badly they had spent their money and taken the trouble for nothing. No amount of suggested gift coaching pre-holiday modified the behavior. We all finally reached an age where we can afford to get what we want for ourselves (and we do). I suggested a no gift policy and most went along.
Now if I find something I think a particular person would like, I get it for them and gift it whenever. This seems to work better. Some still send gifts for my birthday, usually of the consumable kind, which I appreciate but don't expect (and sometimes find embarrassing if they are too generous). While gift giving helps the economy, doesn't it make more sense to buy what you want/need for yourself and get it right the first time?
Sorry, I think it's tacky and thoughtless. Mostly because 99% of resifts ARE thoughtless. It's not something you selected for someone or made them because you knew it was the perfect gift for them. It's a piece of crap you hate and wants off your hands and you are too cheap to purchase something thoughtful. I don't think the gift should go to waste though, which is why I think I way better decision is to donate the hideous gift to a charity that can use it. Or just give it to a friend or family member you know can use it - as a random donation though, not all wrapped up in fancy paper under the pretence of being a well thought out present.
@miranar, you said it in a far more tactful and eloquent way than I did! Lol. I 100% agree. My major problem with regifting is the sneaky way people go about rewrapping it and pretending like they went to all this trouble to find something for the person. Why not just be generous and GIVE the thing away? I would certainly appreciate a extra set of sheets or a pot or whatever that a friend has no use for, but to have that item wrapped up and handed to you on your birthday IS tacky and thoughtless. And YES to the sell/donate idea. I'm not advocating hoarding useless gifts, just don't regift the thing!
oh my gosh....someone had given my moms a pair of earrings that were not her taste, she re gifted them to a sister in law who the next year re gifted them back to her!!! karma:)
make sure you thoroughly look through before you pass something on...i have regifted a coffee table book from an ex-bf to my dad that i did not realize he had written a very romantical note in...but on the 4th page rather than just inside the front cover. whoops!!! AND i gave my grandmother a pair of gloves that my aunt gave me that had money and a card in the box that i didn't check first. felt pretty idiotic both times!!
It's all about the intention. Would I give it/want it if I had bought it/the giver had? Then bring it on.
But for the most part, I'm at a stage of life where what I want is LESS stuff, not more. I opt out of work gift exchanges (which in the past tended to get dropped off at Goodwill on the way home), & only exchange gifts with my sister & BIL. We would/have told each other if the item were a regift, but we wouldn't given it in the first place if it were not something the other would like. Some have been duplicates, especially books, some just more to the other's taste.
From reading the thread, it sounds like a lot of the problem comes from "obligation" gifts, & it seems that a lot of clutter comes from receiving them. Why do we need to keep doing this?
One man's trash = another man's treasure.
And if I don't think it's another man/woman's treasure, there's always all of the other options:
- craigslist
- yard sale
- swap party
I have a bag/box on a part of a shelf I rarely use to store either gifts I don't want (ready to regift) or small things I've purchased along the line for a good deal (ready to gift) for people who might need them (throughout the year, not just during the holidays). Pretty simple I feel.
I completely agree!
As someone who has gotten a fair amount of regifts in her life - especially when I was at that too-young-for-toys/don't-know-what-size-you-are but not old enough to simply not get a gift, so I really try my earnest not to do it. Gifts that aren't for me are given to people who I think will get use out of it/like it. I do have a gift drawer, but it's mostly filled with little things (candles, lotion, knick knacks, fancy soaps, etc) that I use as add ons or hostess gifts.
I did however regift something this past Christmas out of apathy - my aunt always gets me odd pieces of clothing that aren't necessary ugly, but just aren't my taste/don't fit/can't wear it with anything else in my closet. For my husband's secret santa, he drew his cousin's wife, both of which have been MIA from major family events the past year or so, yet Christmas they show up for dinner pick up their gifts, and sometimes they bring a secret santa gift, but in the past years they have not (their mom/his aunt have provided the gifts for their end of the SS). So I threw the latest gift from my aunt - a black top with black sequined stripes - not terrible in a box along with a scarf I picked up with target. Brought the gifts, and lo and behold guess who didn't come to Christmas! All their gifts are being sent to them some how, and I don't feel bad at all passing along my gift.
TO TASKET: Here, here...well said in deed.
I agree
don't forget the hard working migrant workers that bust their hump for little pay. People like you must be on a mission to put all low paid workers out of work.
I forgot to add the migrant workers that make it possible for you to have organic food which most likely was crapped on by a worker without a facility in sight. Enjoy those organics.
This guide makes a lot of sense.
Basically don't re-gift unless it's just like you bought it brand-new for them - perfect condition, perfect fit. Some things have busted packaging or 'tell-tale signs,' but many won't.
And really, if you're not going to drink that lovely bottle of wine or use a second immersion blender, why not pass it on?
"I'm guilty of it, and you probably are too: regifting." What a ridiculous way to start this story!
I get so nervous about regifting because I always wonder what if they want to return it and the sales person makes a comment about how they haven't had it in stock in a very long time...eek.
My family is notorious for giving thoughtless gifts. Its like they go to the store the night before Christmas and buy whatever is left on the shelf. This year we ( the adult kids) decided its better to just pull names out of a hat so we would just focus on that one person instead of 10...made it a lot easier!
A lot of the organic farms near me are small family owned enterprises and they do a lot of the work themselves- you pay a little more but the food is better for you & for the environment. Here in CA the organic farms seem to be well regulated & I believe the state has been working to improve the lives of migrant workers. The fact of the matter is that we in the US seem to think that cheap food is more important than the quality of the food or wether the farm workers are treated fairly & paid a living wage.
If you have something you no longer like or need (gift or not), give it away. I guarantee you that someone else would be happy to have it. Whether it is worth $1000 or $1. Just let it go, no strings attached. You will be relieved of a burden, and the receiver will be overwhelmed will gratitude. Win, win! Peace over money.
I think the best re-gifting is alcohol.
If someone gives me an expensive bottle of wine or champagne or spirits, or I have one of my own unopoened bottles, I feel fine about passing it along if I am a little broke that week or month. I am probably going to feel sad to see it go and buy myself another anyway. I think giving anything that is a bad fit is insulting, and people would probably rather a handmade present, home made cookies or a nice wheel of cheese if they know you are broke anyway :)
Every now and then I buy myself some adorable knick-knack or small purse and realize a year or two later that it's still sitting in the closet unused. That's when I wrap it and give it to a niece for Christmas. They probably can't return it, but it's just a <$30 thing anyway. Hey, I'm just an aunt, not Macy's. I am one of those people who gift-shop throughout the year so you probably can't return the thing I bought specifically for you anyway, but at least you know I got a good deal and thought lovingly about you in June, not because I had to but because I like to.
I personally don't care in the least if I receive a regift (in fact I'm thrilled if it all works out because environmentally, it's ideal!) as long as it's a half-decent thing, not just whatever they are pushing as a generic gift for any woman anywhere. I don't get a ton of presents, but most of the ones I get that I don't like go to Goodwill within the week. .
I don't mind getting a book that you already read or a fitness DVD you already tried out; that way we can talk about it. You can tell me it's a regift; I'm thrifty too. I like that about you. No worries.
But Reeal mentioned what it's like to receive gifts outside your ethics code, and I did experience that this year. Two people who have known I'm vegan (for well over a decade) must have felt compelled to include me in their homemade cookie baking deliveries, so I got a LOT of non-vegan cookies and pastries. I found ways to give them away, but it was difficult because people are wary anymore over cookies that weren't baked by someone they know personally. I'd so much rather have gotten a card in the first place. Sometimes people don't know what is and isn't vegan, of course, but that wasn't the case.
On target, lenabug! For those who are offended - I've gotten many "original" gifts that were wildly inappropriate for me. I'm very grateful to be remembered, but I have no compunction about passing these on either as gifts, donations or hand-me-downs. I do what works for the item/occasion and person.
The worst re-gifting I know of is decades old. A mother-in-law regifting a size 2x nightgown to her size 8 daughter-in-law who originally purchased the nightgown! Message there!
We have a special "re-gifting" tradition at Christmas. Anyone who has something to re-gift can bring it, wrapped and labelled, to Christmas dinner. When the re-gifting part of the ceremony starts, we all hand our our re-gifts. Some of the doozies are re-gifted every year, and everyone gets a laugh out of them.
" i hate to see my mom spend her money on this stuff (she's retired) that i'm never going to use. so i've gathered it all up and i'm dropping off at the nursing home i pass by on the way to work."
They may not use bathrobes either. If it's something like skilled nursing, the CNAs come in, help the residents bathe etc... and then get them dressed. There's no lolling around in bathrobes, though it may depend on the place. Hopefully you asked if they could use them. My main point is that the CNAs will do what's convenient for THEM not the residents - usually. There are exceptions of course. But the facility may have an independent living wing, in which case it would be up to the individual residents.
There are a couple of assumptions that are bubbling just under the surface of a lot of the comments.
One is the assumption that, from the giver's perspective, a "good" gift must be purchased new with the recipient in mind -- if you didn't go out and spend money on the gift, it's inferior. That's not always true. I'd rather get a regifted box of chocolates or jar of chutney than a specially purchased shirt or vase or gadget that doesn't match my taste or is a redundant addition to what I already have. My mom loved to shop, but she ended up buying me a lot of junk when she could have scored better by just handing off some of the excess things she already had.
From the getter's perspective, there's the idea that every gift has to pay off somehow -- if you don't like it enough to keep it, you somehow have this credit coupon to make it work for you by saving you some expense or gift-shopping time. But the fact is that some gifts are duds, and all you can do is say "Thank you for thinking of me!" and move on. If you do know someone who would appreciate the item, great, pass it along either in the spirit of "I can't use this, do you want it?" or in the spirit of "I picked this out just for you!" But if you do get a stupid book or a redundant bathrobe or an ugly vase, life doesn't owe you the chance to parlay it into saving on future gift-buying. Be content with donating it to Goodwill or giving a fantastic bargain to someone who really likes it at your next yard sale.
steele33flowers ~ There seems to be a major misunderstanding since I'm in full support of better working conditions, living environments and living wages for migrant farmworkers and their families. No one should have to live without adequate housing/plumbing, lack of access to affordable healthcare or suffer the many other indignities we inflict on the hardworking people who earn so very little for producing our food, flowers and other crops.
Neither should farmworkers and their families be exposed to dangerous pesticides on a daily basis, which is *one* of the reasons we choose organics and are willing to pay more for things that are produced ethically.
I have to add that although it's a sad fact that working conditions on organic farms aren't necessarily any better than those on non-organic ones, I've spoken with people at UFW (United Farm Workers) and *not* being exposed to pesticides definitely counts for something. Though there's more we can do, supporting the elimination of dangerous pesticides (and buying organic instead) is *one* important piece of the puzzle.
There's also a movement to help protect the rights of farmworkers by incorporating sustainable, fair trade practices here in North America: http://grist.org/article/mark/
Here's a link to the Domestic Fair Trade Association's website: http://www.thedfta.org/get-involved/contact-us/
I agree with June_ and Donald N.
I definitely regift, but give the gifts to people I HAVE to give to, like co-workers or casual friends, people who won't take offense because aren't expecting me to have put tons of thought into their gifts anyway.
I'm all for regifting and donating unwanted items, but please remember that charities aren't dumping grounds. Just because you don't want a tacky/unsatisfactory/unusable gift doesn't meant they will either. Be just as thoughtful when giving unwanted items to a charity as you would when giving a gift to a friend or family member. You can always inquire with the charity in advance whether or not they can use the item(s) you're seeking to get rid of. Also, keep in mind that many individuals who work at charities are volunteers, and it isn't a very efficient or judicious use of their time to have to sort through tons of unwanted junk just to find what might be useful to them.
I'm retired and live in a senior apartment complex with lots of people in their 80s and 90s. I would highly recommend passing on gifts you don't want to the local senior center or retirement home. Old people LOVE free stuff! Seriously. When I purge, I just go to our community center and ask if anyone would like these things. A crowd gathers in a hurry -- jewelry, clothes, knickknacks, books, scent, gadgets -- SOMEONE is always thrilled. It's a nice way to brighten the day of someone who is likely living on a fixed income and/or living a life that's much smaller in scope. I personally HATE regifting as a way to cop out of an obligatory gift. And I REALLY hate getting regifted something I chose for a person. If you don't like my gift, then pass it along to someone will use it (and not wrapped up as if you had purchased it yourself). Don't give it back to ME as a gift. Tacky, tacky, tacky.

Port Royal Villa Rentals with Parking Included(29)

Recent Port Royal Reviews
Great vacation place! Anxious to return.
Rented this condo on our first trip to HH. Loved the unit. It's on the ground floor close to two outdoor pools. There is an indoor pool on the grounds but since the weather was so nice we never used it. Several charcoal grills are close to the outdoor pools. Just a very short walk to the beach on the property. The beach has an amazing transformation between tide changes. During high tide you can walk out on the pier. During low tide you can walk a great distance and explore an array of sea life. Kids loved it. The grounds are very well kept and have been landscaped beautifully. The condo has an electronic lock which allows you to use your own code instead of carrying keys around with you. The kitchen is updated with all the pots, pans and utensils you should need. The unit has name brand furniture and is very nicely decorated. We enjoyed morning coffee everyday out on the deck. It was very peaceful and there is a great view of the pond. Beach chairs, beach umbrella, beverage cooler and even beach sand toys for the kids are included. There was a great selection of DVD's and books for young and old. There are several beaches a short drive away. We spent our beach days at Caligny Beach. There was ample free parking, free Wi-Fi, showers and changing rooms. Several restaurants, grocery and miscellaneous shopping is a short walk from the beach. Kevin(the owner) contacted us to make sure we were satisfied with the condo and that we had everything we needed. We had piece of mind knowing if we had any issues we could pick up the phone and call him. The development is gated and we had no issues with noise or anything. They take parking VERY seriously. Our daughter stopped by for a couple of hours one day and was given a visitor's pass and proceeded to our unit. Security should have advised her that she should park in visitor parking only. As she was going to her car to leave security was about to give her a $50.00 ticket. Luckily she was leaving so got out just in time. They did give another car a ticket for overlapping a parking spot. They parked that way because the vehicle that was originally parked next to them was too far over their spot but had since left. Unfortunate. In summary, we loved everything about this condo. It was stocked with everything we needed except food and a bag of ice. Several beaches, a great selection of restaurants and ample shopping were just a short drive away. The unit was very clean and well kept. A home away from home.
Summer Vacation
I spent a week here with my family in June. The condo is nicely furnished, well taken care of. The counter tops and cabinets were updated and added a nice touch to the look of the condo. I am a tennis player and my husband is a golfer so we appreciated and took advantage of the golf/tennis package. The amenities at the Westin hotel were a nice addition. My daughter and I spent a day at the spa for a girls day treat!! The beach is clean and manicured. I definitely recommend a walk on the beach at night. I will do my best to return next year.
Very Nice, exactly what I expected.
Place was clean. Bring extra towels- although rented sort of through a hotel, amenities like towels, trash bags, toiletries etc can all be replaced for a very hefty additional fee. Each room is either a king or two twins- there is no double. Pull out sofa adds additional sleeping, but inconvenient if staying a long time. View was nice and the frogs and cicadas were a good background noise. Screened in porch is an added benefit. Kitchen items could be replaced, but overall not a deal breaker. Would definitely stay here again.

Juan Manuel "Dinamita" Marquez - "I'm not thinking of any way I can be different or do anything differently. I'm coming with everything. I'm not going to be overconfident because I've beaten him, because I've knocked him out. I'm going in just like as it was the first fight, 100 percent ready to take care of business.
"Well, it's very motivating but the key factor there is victory. To me, victory is everything. It's very important. It motivates me. It keeps me going to defend my titles with the pride and honor and having my hand raised at the end of the night, that's the most significant and what brings it out in me. I don't know how but it comes out because of that determination that I have to win..
Q: I want to know if you're drinking your own urine in preparation for the fight.
J. Marquez: Yes, sir.
Ignacio "Nacho" Beristain, Marquez's Trainer
"I'm very happy that Juan has been training with the same professionalism as always. Juan is like a fine wine that only gets better with age. He's having a better, technically, a better camp and is training much better than the first fight with Juan. I expect the courage that Juan Diaz 'Torito' brings and the courage that Juan Manuel provides that this will provide another great fight like they did in Houston and that the fans are going to win, all around."
Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz
"This fight here, a lot of people have been mentioning to me that it's a do or die fight. Well, I don't think it is a do or die fight. I think it's a win-win situation because either I become a world champion once again and become a super star or it opens up doors for me to do other things and focus on other aspects of my life.
"I'm not one of those guys that has a six-pack, that has muscles all over my body, so when these people are going through these tough, economic times and have their individual rights infringed upon and they see me, a Mexican American, who came from illegal immigrants and has become a World Champion and has also achieved his college education, then for a split second or for that night at least that they see me fighting in there it's like I'm fighting for them. They see me in there, everything that I've accomplished and they know that whether it is them or their children, that if they fight or work hard enough that things are going to get better and that their lives can change and they can achieve the American dream."
Ronnie Shields, Diaz's Trainer
"I think our game plan is going to be similar to what we followed last time. We made some minor adjustments. Juan is a valiant puncher, so we have to play off of that, but I think we have to do it in a way that benefits Juan. I'm not going to say how we're going to do that, but I think we definitely have to benefit and use his boxing skills also.
"Juan is a really good boxer and that's what got him to being champion of the world from the beginning, being able to beat all of the guys he's beaten before. But with Marquez, this guy is such a smart guy. I mean he's not going to be a Hall of Fame guy for nothing, because he's been in there with the best. He's beaten the best, so we have to outsmart him and I think Juan has the capabilities to do that."
Danny "The Golden Child" Jacobs
"This fight also has a big significance because, as you all may know, I didn't have a chance to make the 2008 Olympic team. When you think about the Olympics, you think about U.S.A. versus Russia. You don't think about anybody else other than the Russians. And Dmitry is probably the top, if not one of the top Russian fighters out there, and I'm probably the top Middleweight American fighter. So to me, this is my Olympics and this is my gold medal that I never had an opportunity to win, as well as the WBO belt.
"This is going to be a stellar fight because I know I'm hungry. I'm pretty sure he's hungry. He's training hard. And two undefeated fighters who are young and in their prime, it just goes for a great fight. I'm excited and ready to put my skills against his and see the outcome.
"Well, not only do I watch tapes of Dmitry and watch the YouTube clips, but I dream about this guy. I go to sleep thinking about this guy. This guy is all I think about, and this victory is all I think about. So the analysis that I get of seeing him fight is that he's a very crafty fighter."
Dmitry Pirog
"We both [Pirog and Jacobs] have amateur experience, we both have the skills and we have the experience that we need for this fight. We've both had good fights. We've had oppositions. Many of the opponents I've faced previously thought they were going to defeat me and I had a record even lower, so I don't feel that it's that important. Psychologically, I'm ready for a fight like this, and that's the most important. As long as I feel confident and I want to do it, that's what makes the fight happen
"What I like about fighting in America, and the reason I've dreamt of fighting in America, is that the boxing scene is a lot more developed. I think what's most important is to give your best and fight well and everything should be fair, as far as the judging and the fans and everything else. So that's why I think everything's going to be okay, and I'm very confident about fighting. I don't feel like anything is going to happen that's going to disappoint me."
Joel Casamayor
"Robert Guerrero is one of the best upcoming fighters in the world and it's always a great opportunity to bring him to my den. If I beat Guerrero, I'm in line for anybody and I could fight any fight I would want.
"I think obviously when a fighter gets a little older in his career, he starts going a little more off experience. My ability is still there. One thing that has changed as the years have gone by is my focus. I'm a lot more focused now. When I was a lot younger, I thought I would get away with some of the things I did in training camp, I shouldn't have that I'm not doing now. Experience is going to be there, but the ability and the condition and everything is going to be there on July 31st."
Robert Guerrero
"My wife is doing great. She's doing so great. That's why I'm taking big fights and getting back in the ring. If she wasn't doing too good, I wouldn't be taking any big fights because of the focus you need to be in there. With Joel Casamayor, it has to be 100 percent."
"Joel Casamayor is an Olympic Gold Medalist. He's had well over enough amateur fights. He's a very experienced guy, a Four-time World Champion. He's been there, done it. He's been in with the best. You've got to be on your toes with a Joel Casamayor. You can't take him lightly. Especially him being one of the elite fighters in the sport and also a lefty, you've got to take him seriously and be 100 percent ready and make sure no stone is unturned when you get in the ring with him."
Jorge Linares
"I'm here to show that my boxing and my speed and my skills, my technical attributes are, if not the same or better than they were in the past. And the most important thing is that because of this, we're going to give a great fight for the fans. They deserve it. I want to show that the winner can move on and move on to bigger and better things.
It's a compromise because it's an obligation for me after losing the title that I have to come back and now have the opportunity to do it here in Vegas and against a tremendous fighter like Rocky. So whoever is to succeed gets to move on to bigger for a world title."
Rocky Juarez
"As a young man at 30, I can consider myself a young/old veteran in the ring. I think the way to keep my spirits up is just basically through that goal, the goal of becoming a world champion, and the people who have faith in me, as well as myself, having faith within myself to become world champion.
"But it's just the fact that I have so much to prove, not only to myself, but to the critics and also the people who believe in me that I said what I'm going to do is become world champion. So that gives me that motivation, that push to continue to have that drive and continue boxing and giving everything that I have inside the ring."
Oscar de la Hoya
"I believe that we have put together the best undercard, top-to-bottom, of any fight card that we here at Golden Boy have ever put together and that was a commitment we made to the fight fans out there. That's exactly what we wanted to achieve.
"Everybody knows these fights are exciting. Everybody knows these fights can go either way. These fights are not mismatches. These fights are not fights where we know who is going to win.
"Well, the great thing about this is that, this is kind of like do or die for every fighter that we have on this card, for every fighter this is do or die, including the main event."
Richard Schaefer
"I think this one here, as I said, I have to admit I think is the best we've ever done and I made that comment when we had the press conference and I really wanted to try to live up to it. We really don't want this to be a stand alone. We really want this to set a standard and set a trend."

The president of our country is stepping onto the debate platform in the wake of letting Hillary Clinton absorb blame for him over the Benghazi tragedy. Did we already forget that he said, "My number one priority is always to keep our diplomats safe, and to keep our embassies safe." Many Americans expect that their president at least be some semblance of a "stand-up guy." And this guy sure isn't. Not even close.
I would be very interested in the President's comments about Secretary Clinton taking the fall for the death of four Americans in Libya. I would like to hear him explain why he didn't know about the requests for additional security and why it took long to acknowledge that it was indeed the work of the Al Qaeda. I hope someone asks this questions. It's key in this election.

Chris Eubank Jr relaxed by comparisons with his father
A few minutes into my chat with Chris Eubank Jr it suddenly occurs to me just how much he sounds like his dad - only slightly less refined. Which is odd when you consider that Eubank Sr grew up hard on the streets of London and New York while the latest version attended a notable English public school.
This Eubank family tale is a lesson in the magnetism that can exist between a father and a son, so that however divergent the two lives might become, a commonality of genes and attitude will see to it that they converge in the middle.
Eubank Sr had an impoverished youth, finding himself ejected from various London schools before winding up in care. At the age of 16 his dad packed him off to live with his mum in New York's South Bronx, where he weaned himself off the wildness, knuckling down in the gym and finding salvation in boxing.
Eubank Jr grew up in the genteel south coast town of Hove and was educated at Brighton College. A man who wears jodhpurs and a monocle is hardly likely to send his kids to the local comprehensive, but a man who wears jodhpurs and a monocle is hardly likely to make life straightforward for those kids, either.
"I was dealing with the troubles that come with having the second name of Eubank," says Eubank Jr, who has his seventh professional fight on Saturday against an opponent yet to be announced. "Other kids wanted to test me, I had to defend myself and I got into certain situations I'm not proud of. I was a street kid as well as going to private school."
And so Eubank Sr took a cue from his old man, sending the unsettled kid across the Atlantic to immerse himself in the gyms of Las Vegas. Among his tutors were middleweight great Mike McCallum and Floyd Mayweather Sr, the latter a rare example of a top-level fighter whose son was more talented than he was.
"In the early stages my dad wasn't sure about me boxing," says Eubank Jr, whose record is 6-0. "So that was my dad saying: 'You say you want to be a boxer, then go and experience what it truly is to be a boxer.' Vegas is the capital of boxing, it's the melting pot for great fighters, so if you can survive out there, then you'll know whether you really want to be a professional fighter or not."
Eubank Jr didn't just survive, he thrived, reaching the prestigious National Golden Gloves tournament. McCallum even predicted he would be a future world champion, adding: "He's nothing like his dad, he's extremely nice and polite."
However, Eubank Jr insists his dad is very different from the caricature he portrays and glows when I suggest he has gone from being one of the most hated sportsmen in Britain to someone held in genuine affection.
"He deserves it," says Eubank Jr, whose speech might be less refined than his dad's but which is noticeably more fluent.
"He's a great guy, a family man, completely different to the arrogant person people saw in the ring. For all the work he put in, the entertainment he provided and everything he achieved, he didn't deserve to be hated. It's great that people love him now."
While this filial bond is heart-warming, there are those in boxing who worry about the pressure Eubank Jr is under to succeed. Noting the identical entrance music (Tina Turner's Simply The Best), the vaulting over the ropes and several stylistic tics, Nigel Benn said: "If he jumps into the ring like his dad and has the same music as his dad, then he better perform like his dad."
Eubank Jr, who even shares the same pro trainer as his dad in Ronnie Davies, is relaxed about the comparisons. "He's my mentor, he's the guy controlling everything, making sure I've got the right people around me, inputting into my training," says Eubank Jr. "I trust him 100%. If he tells me something, I'm going to do it.
"But there's no pressure at all. The ring entrance, that's all entertainment. I'm here to bring excitement back to British boxing and that's the best way to do it. Obviously a lot of things he used to do have rubbed off on me but everything I do is natural, I'm not copying anybody.
Chris Eubank Jr's record
- December 2011: Kirilas Psonko, TKO
- February 2012: Jason Ball, points
- April 2012: Paul Allison, TKO
- May 2012: Harry Matthews, points
- July 2012: Terry Carruthers, points
- September 2012: Tadas Jonkus, TKO
"People say I'm doing things just because my old man did it but that's genuinely how I fight: I'm his son, I've got his DNA, I've got royal blood running through my veins."
Eubank Jr's early fights suggest he is looser limbed than his dad and perhaps more skilful, but - and this is the big but - only when the kid is tested will we know if his heart is anything like as unbreakable as the old fella's.
"I know from the hard sparring sessions I've had that I have a big heart, I'm not looking for a way out," says Eubank Jr, whose dad was involved in some of the most gut-wrenching fights in history, including two thrillers against Benn and one against Michael Watson that left Watson with life-threatening injuries.
"I'm not looking to prove I have a great chin and a big heart - my motto is 'hit and don't get hit' - but if it does happen, I'm sticking with it, you'll see."
Most men yearn to live on through others and the yearning grows more acute as the years roll by and they feel more irrelevant in the world. To this end, Eubank Sr will hope he has created a masterpiece, or at least a chip off the old block.
"There are people that don't like me, who say I'm living off my dad's name," says Eubank Jr. "But the greatest thing I can learn from him is to believe in myself. He was hated, people said he wasn't going to make it and wanted him to lose. But he knew he was going to make it and get these people on his side."
Keep those eyes and ears open, young man, but maybe draw the line at fashion tips. "That would certainly get people going, if I started wearing a monocle," says Eubank Jr. "Maybe I'll try it out and see what happens."

Early days for Jnr but I wish him well. He hasn't the power yet but neither did Cleverley not long ago. Some develop it as they progress.
Regarding Collins v Eubank 1, we will never know if Chris would've won but he hesitated when he had Stevie virtually out on his feet. Pre-Watson Eubank wasn't gunshy but was complacent. His notorious complacency & Collins' sheer determination may have swung it.

Best of luck to junior, its impossible to tell at this point what he can achieve as hes just starting out in the pro ranks.
Great to see him on terrestial tv.

a) I do not think Eubank was ever really the same after the Watson fight. He could, and did, still KO people but there was an edge missing.
b) Collins is a grossly under estimated fighter. He was not flashy, not a one punch KO king he just did everything reasonably well and was tidy in defence.
Collins was the better fighter because of better work rate

Held back? what a ridiculous comment.
Eubank had 3 KO's to his name prior to the Watson fight and 4 there after. So i suppose he only held back in the Collins fight did he?
The lame excuses wheeled out for Eubank is truly laughable. He was beaten twice by Collins fair and square. Collins had a far superior fight record than him when they both retired. Eubank a better fighter ? pffft!!

I won a blogging award! This is quite cool, because I never thought or expected to ever get something like this, so I am very grateful to The Big Forest!
So with the award comes stipulations:
1. Display the award logo on your blog. Done!
2. Link back to the person who nominated you. Done!
3. State 7 things about yourself. Yikes..
4. Nominate 15 other bloggers for this award and link to them. Done!
5. Notify those bloggers of the nomination and the award's requirements. Doing..
7 Things About Myself:
1. I'm 2 days from doing a full year of One photo a Day! I intend to continue it after, opting for much simpler photography.
2. I started this after being inspired to do so by Jeff Harris
3. The idea to actually put it on the internet came from my girlfriend, I had originally intended on doing it only for the two of us.
5. 59 different photographers have been credit with taking at least one photo, including 'Bar girl' and 'lady at the airport.'
6. I have almost 21,000 views from people in 105 countries.
7. About me and not my blog: Since April 2011, I have flown 103068.88 km. That's the equivalent of 2.5 times around the circumference of the earth.
The Winners:
The Big Forest: I'm not just returning the love, these guys deserve it for all their hard work and being still able to maintain an entertaining blog
Dave: The Phoblography is a collection of photographs that Dave is taken around the UK, mostly. He's somehow managed to make stunning photos from normal, everyday scenes.
Canadian Hiking Photography: If you don't like these photos then the internet is not a place for you.
Steve Osbourne: Great photo's of Atlanta and it's surroundings, makes me want to go there.

Uthamz: I frequently get lost for quite sometime looking at his photos, incredible stuff.
ckponderings: Is only a few days behind me in a similar project, very entertaining.
AmberAfica: I'm not usually ones for artistic photos, I love buildings and landscapes but these photos are amazing, definitely worth a look.
Toemail: Most people hate feet but I think even those people would like this blog, the foot is only an object within the photos not the subject. I think it's hilarious that they made a blog for feet, though! Very creative!
Rich Green: I'm jealous of the places he's been to every time I go onto his site, he goes everywhere and takes incredible photos.

Retirement Systems of Alabama CEO Dr. David Bronner isn't holding back his feelings on Gov. Robert Bentley's decision to not expand medicaid.
During a speech at the 7th annual Beasley Allen Legal Conference and Expo in downtown Montgomery Thursday, Bronner said more than 300,000 Alabamians will be hurt by the governor's decision.
Bronner also echoed concerns that rural hospitals will be hurt by the decision to not expand medicaid because less federal money will available to help hospital cover the uninsured.
In the past, Bronner has called Gov. Bentley irresponsible and said the governor's hard stance was tied to politics because he's running for re-election next year.
