Point 3: Time for Riddick to Bowe out He says he is not doing it for money. He says he has 20 million in bank, 26 cars, and 8 or 9 homes (he can't remember how many). He says he is doing this because he just doesn't know what else to do. Riddick Bowe came back to boxing in October to fight on an Indian reserve. His plans are to fight about 7 or 8 more bums like one that got into ring with him, before trying to step up to top of boxing game that he once held over a decade away. The best thing for Bowe, is that one of those bums gets him to land on his, to put an end to this farce. Riddick Bowe fought on an Indian reserve because no doctor would give him clearance to fight. Muhammed Ali and Senator McCain are trying to set up a legitimate boxing commission for exactly this purpose. To provide both an unbiased rules based on boxing skills and not promoters wallets, and to provide protection to boxers from themselves, or those to seek to profit from them. I am sure that with 20 million dollars, Riddick can find something else to occupy his time. 20 million may seem like a lot of money, but with all luxury this man has bought for himself, he will find that insurance, property taxes, and day to day accessories will eat through his money soon enough. This is about financing his lifestyle, plain and simple. Problem is, he should get back to his roots, and learn how to save his money. Material wealth is not worth dying over, or ending up too punch drunk to enjoy it.

Continued from page 1 wear High humidity can promote corrosion and fungal growth In practice, always ensure that camera is warmer than environment and there will be no problem. If you HAVE to take a relatively cold camera into moist air, first seal it in a plastic bag (using tape) until it has reached ambient temperature. You can accelerate this by turning on camera while it is still in bag. If long exposure to humidity is expected (as in Tropics) then store camera (and especially lenses) in an airtight box with generous sized bags of silica gel.
