					  <link>http://condomagazines.com/articles/273/1/Portland-Maine/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Four million people visit Portland, Maine each year. But don&rsquo;t picture lobster bibs and sunburned summer tourists. The largest city in Maine
&nbsp;is not known for its fish shacks, candy stores or beaches. The center of both
&nbsp;commerce and culture in Maine, Portland is a thriving small cosmopolitan city.
&nbsp;With a world-class symphony and art museum, nationally-ranked restaurants, more than 40 languages
&nbsp;spoken in the public schools, and industries from insurance to semi-conductors,
&nbsp;Portland is an old city with a new beat.

&nbsp;been mishandled or worse yet, stolen.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;On July 1, 2010, a variety of sweeping changes to Connecticut&rsquo;s Common Interest Ownership Act will take effect, and associations throughout
&nbsp;the state will need to change the way they approach building management. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the biggest change to Connecticut condo law in 25 years,&rdquo; says attorney Adam J. Cohen, the chairman of community law with Pullman &amp; Comley in Bridgeport.

					  <link>http://condomagazines.com/articles/270/1/On-and-Off-the-Record/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;To disclose or not to disclose? That is the question community association
&nbsp;boards wrestle with on a regular basis. If homeowners want to see the
&nbsp;association&rsquo;s financial records, should the books be open to them? What about a list of
&nbsp;owners who are in arrears with their condo fees? Or details of the current
&nbsp;snowplowing contract? Should boards let neighbors know that a registered sex
&nbsp;offender has moved into the community? What if an association employee is under
&nbsp;investigation for stealing or other criminal activity?

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;For board members, the time spent serving their association and fellow residents
&nbsp;can be among the most strenuous yet rewarding periods in their lives. For
&nbsp;years, they make decisions that affect their community in the present and may
&nbsp;continue to impact them years down the road.

&nbsp;thing &ndash; and not at an animal shelter, but at a condominium owners&rsquo; meeting.

					  <link>http://condomagazines.com/articles/192/1/QampA-How-do-we-address-absentee-owners-not-carrying-their-weight/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[We are in a small condo building of 3 units, hence do not have (quite frankly,
&nbsp;can't afford) a management company, with the intention that the 3 owners/
&nbsp;trustees share in the building upkeep and responsibilities. One owner has since
&nbsp;moved out and away, with that unit now rented. Hence the two on-site owners do
&nbsp;it all &ndash; all the time. The absentee owner's tenants don't participate; I wouldn't either in their shoes.

					  <title><![CDATA[Concord, New Hampshire]]></title>
					  <link>http://condomagazines.com/articles/191/1/Concord-New-Hampshire/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;A poster representing New England could well feature Concord, New Hampshire as
&nbsp;its pictorial theme. Rich in history and culture, Concord is a small city of
&nbsp;approximately 42,000 people surrounded by the rugged beauty of unspoiled New
&nbsp;England. Located in south central New Hampshire on the banks of the Merrimack
&nbsp;River, Concord was originally called &ldquo;Penacook&rdquo; from the Indian Pannukog &ndash; meaning bend in the river. Inhabited first by the Abenaki Indians, the area
&nbsp;around the Merrimack River provided excellent soil for farming. The fertile
&nbsp;land enticed Captain Ebenezer Eastman and a disgruntled group from Haverhill,
&nbsp;Massachusetts to settle the city in 1725, and New Englanders have been drawn to
&nbsp;this successful city with a rock solid reputation ever since.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;A funny thing happened when the auto industry embracedthe digital age a few years ago, and installed electronic displays in luxury cars so that drivers were confronted with the engine&rsquo;s fuel consumption in miles per gallon&mdash;in immediate numbers. Many drivers were amazed to see when the rate spiked as a
&nbsp;direct result of certain driving behaviors. The knowledge certainly helped curb
&nbsp;some gas-guzzling driving maneuvers.
