» READ Background of the Interview from May 2018 EWR
Practically all the crises happening in military events, the economy and investment markets now is a result of the federal government's empire, or the gradual collapse of it. In this new special report from Richard J. Maybury, discover the political and economic upset of our time. Understand the events, starting in the 1940s, that led to Washington's rise to global dominance, why this dominance is now in decline, and the many ways this is affecting you profoundly.
Learn why the empire's demise is far from bad news. Instead, Mr Maybury views it as an exciting chance for America to make a fresh start toward a new age of freedom, security and abundance. You'll be amazed.
Mr. Maybury also sees this historic upset as a spectacular opportunity for investors who understand what is happening. The eye opening 150 page report contains 34 carefully selected investment recommendations. Order today!
A name for the bloodiest, most chaotic place on earth.
Taking up more than half of the earth's landmass, and containing huge deposits of minerals including most of the oil, Chaostan can affect your life more than anything that happens in your own hometown.
And few, if any, understand it.
Since 1991 Richard Maybury's Early Warning Report (EWR) has been studying Chaostan, and its effects on you and your investments, with astounding success.

What makes Early Warning Report (EWR) so unique? So interesting? DEPTH. EWR is a unique blend of topics that you've probably never encountered before. Namely geopolitics, finance, economics, and military events.
We don't give you a list of "hot" stock picks, expect you to believe us, and send you on your way. Rather we start with understanding the two major trends affecting your money: war and debasement of currencies.
The US dollar is the world's reserve currency, and thanks to the federal reserve its become a shell game.
Nothing is more crucial to understand: the Federal Reserve dictates the health of the dollar and the health of the dollar, dictates your quality of life. You must know how to adapt.
EWR has long recommended gold as a shield against the Fed. It only takes one look at the chart above to see how successful that strategy has been. Gold has been up 606% since we recommended it just before 9/11.
But an understanding of economics isn't enough, because at bottom what really drives the ups and downs in the financial world are actions of governments.
They regulate all currencies. They create laws that control how the economy operates. They command the militaries that cause the conflicts that disrupt entire regions of the world.
Governments are capable of causing more chaos in your life than any other type of organization on earth. And they do it— constantly.
This is why EWR focuses on geopolitics (world politics).
This approach has led EWR to make some astonishing predictions over the years:
9/11 and soaring defense stocks (in the March 2000 EWR)
Invasion of Iraq and skyrocketing oil prices (March 2001)
A never-ending war for the U.S. in Central Asia (October 2001)
The financial crash of 2008 (May 2007)
The 2013 boom in stocks and real estate (March 2013). The 10 suggested stocks rose 52.6%.
And more.
See for yourself! Click here and read some of the best articles from Early Warning Report.
Most investment advisories focus on the particulars of a given investment. They are concerned with the internals. The technicals. Few know anything about the Big Picture - the global trends - that affect investments.
The closest they get to it is to study economics.
The Big Picture is Early Warning Report's specialty.
We see investment trends being primarily determined by economic trends, and economic trends determined by politics.
To forecast what our investments will do we must forecast what governments will do.
World politics changes flows of money, which alters economies, affecting markets, which produces investment profits, as in the case of Lockheed Martin (see the chart above).
We don't mean what the mainstream press and its government watchdogs call politics. We mean the real thing: wars, revolutions, uprisings, and history. It repeats, although never exactly.
Unfortunately, the typical investor is unaware of the impact governments have on markets. He flies politically blind.
The world is like a chessboard, except unlike the conventional board, the number of players isn't 2, it's 200, meaning 200 governments.
To win the game, you need to know how it is played and nobody knows the strategies and tactics better than Early Warning Report.
Start today by reading a selection of of the best EWR articles, and a current issue.

I Couldn't Contain It (My Boredom, That Is)
It's terribly fitting, isn't it, that one could answer the question "What's the non-sweeps stunt on GH about?" with "...balls". It's factual AND descriptive!
Yes, another General Hospital stunt has, to the surprise of absolutely no one, been terrible, in every conceivable way. We all knew it would be terrible; after all, we've lived through over a decade's worth of Guza's stunt plots (I feel like calling them plots is giving them far too much credit, but "hastily conceived of and poorly written ideas slapped together with no rhyme or reason" takes too long to type) (and also, ohmigod, how sad is it that this man has been getting paid to ruin this show for more than ten years?), so the real question was how terrible it would be. And I have to admit, it has kind of exceeded my expectations in terms of badness, mostly because I don't understand a lot of it.
I admit this with great reservation, as it is awfully embarrassing to be on the record as being confused by stories written by Bob Guza & Co., but it's true: There are numerous things about this show that I don't understand, the first and foremost being, obviously, why the eff do I still watch?
WHY are they using the song "Breathe (2 AM)" by Anna Nalick in endlessly aired promos for this show? For starters, it's old, and not in the fun "old enough to be retro" way, just "is it 2005 again and no one told me?". And it was also used multiple times on Grey's Anatomy, and you know what I always say: when you brazenly copy something, you don't need to copy EVERYTHING about it. Okay, I've never actually said that, and it could stand to be a little catchier, but STILL.
HOW did Mark Pinter manage to deliver this line with a straight face?
Inspector Rayner:Well, look, I'm sorry, Mr. Jax, but we can't allow civilians to interfere in emergencies.
ORLY, Inspector Rayner?
I mean, I know, heaven forbid we have a story where Jason isn't the central focus, the voice of reason and the greatest hero to ever live. I'd never suggest anything quite so ludicrous. But couldn't they have involved him in a way that wasn't quite so ham-fisted and, um, crappy?
WHY was Jax not allowed into the hospital but Leyla's fiance was? Related: HOW AWKWARD was it when Sam started to console Leyla's fiance after Leyla's, uh, tragic (?) demise? Perhaps that's just my personal issue, as I wouldn't want a stranger trying to help me grieve. I also don't like it when strangers tell me to smile. I am starting to think that Stranger Danger had a more profound impact on my life than I had ever realized.
ARE we supposed to laugh when Rebecca skulks around? Because I do.
I am always looking forward to where she'll randomly pop up next. It's like my own personal Where's Waldo game?
WHO DO I WRITE TO about the beret situation? I thought that berets died their long overdue death when the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke and the fact that they are coming back upsets me. Stop trying to make berets happen!
REALLY LUCKY? I hate to nitpick the otherwise adorable Lucky and Elizabeth scenes of late, but seriously, Lucky? Your reaction to Elizabeth being in peril and possibly leaving your children motherless is to go see her in the hospital, running the risk of leaving your boys total orphans?
I mean, I know Cam could totally take care of himself and raise Jake, if need be, but let's not go out of our way to make that a certainty rather than a possibility!
WHAT WILL IT TAKE to get Ric and Alexis storylines of their own? Rick Hearst and Nancy Lee Grahn deserve to be more than good looking window dressing.
HOW could the writers so totally waste Stephen Macht? I know that expecting this regime to do anything decent is asking far too much of them, but this actor, and his character, are filled with so much potential and yet...nothing.
ALSO, DID YOU KNOW that his son Gabriel Macht is married to Jacinda Barrett of The Real World:
Most Boring Season Ever London? This random factoid has nothing to do with anything and I am sure that we will all promptly forget it within minutes, but I like to reminisce about the days when The Real World didn't make me feel dirty inside.
HOW effortlessly pretty is Laura Wright?
She pulls off a ponytail quite cutely.
That pout irritates me something fierce.
IS ROBIN'S PPD STORY written and produced by two completely different sets of people? Because some of it is SO genuinely good and completely at odds with the rest of the show. It should go without saying that Kimberly McCullough has been completely heartbreaking and amazing during this story and it's kind of a shame, because GH in no way deserves such a fantastic performance.
The other part of it is what we've come to expect of this show: dumb. How did Robin get lost driving in the town she's lived in since the 80s? Why on earth would she walk through the snow after her accident and not on the main road? Why would she get out of the car at all? Why is this show so unfailingly committed to contrivance and not, like, producing high quality television?
SINCE WHEN is Sam a bad shot?
Isn't being calm and good with a gun her raison d'être?
But I suppose I can forgive this contrivance because it led to some hilarity. Intentional hilarity, even!
1.) Jason's facial expression after being shot was wounded, in more than one sense of the word.
Sam: I could make the shot.
Jason: OBVIOUSLY, you can't.
Sam: You stepped in to the line of fire! It's really not my fault that I shot you.
Epiphany:A blizzard outside. The hospital locked down by the FBI. A deadly poison loose in the air supply. And here I am, bandaging up everyone's favorite hitman, and he won't even tell me how he got shot.
Double ha! That's the Pip I grew to love on Night Shift: 2--bitchy, but in a hilarious way and for all the right reasons. Pip, Pip, hooray!
IF JOHN INGLE IS NOT THE CUTEST EVER, who is?
The adorability is off the charts.
DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY watch the Sonny/Zacchara scenes?
I feel like you should probably be studied for scientific purposes, perhaps with a researcher looking to see exactly how much concentrated stupid (and hamminess) a person can sit through without losing it.
Also, perhaps one of you could answer me this question: why did Sonny have a gun with him even after he changed into scrubs? And, of course, the bigger question: did he really bring a gun with him to Michael's benefit? Is even Sonny that big of a dick?
SERIOUSLY, toxic balls, what the hell?

The swimmer in the Thames who brought today's Boat Race to a temporary halt has been arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and is being held in custody at a west London police station while inquiries are carried out, Scotland Yard said.
The annual Oxford-Cambridge competition was restarted after the wetsuit-clad man appeared close to the boats in the River Thames in London, narrowly avoiding the blade of an Oxford oar.
Sergeant Chris Tranter, of the Metropolitan Police, said the rowers had nearly decapitated the swimmer.
"They almost took his head off," he said.
Cambridge powered to victory but celebrations were muted while Oxford rower Alexander Woods was taken to Charing Cross Hospital after collapsing in the boat.
Sources named the swimmer who stopped the race for the first time since 2001 as Trenton Oldfield.
He is thought to be an LSE educated graduate protesting against elitism. Oldfield's blog, called Elitism Leads to Tyranny, discusses civil disobedience tactics.
He is also joint co-ordinator of a not-for-profit organisation called This Is Not A Gateway, which "creates platforms for critical projects and ideas related to cities".
According to the website, he has worked for more than a decade in non-governmental organisations specialising in urban renewal, cultural and environmental programmes.
Karl Hudspith, president of the Oxford University Boat Club, blamed him for ruining his crew's big day.
He wrote on Twitter:
He also said injured rower Woods was conscious and "will hopefully be ok", offering thanks for the many messages of support the rower had received.
He added: "I'm proud of everyone in the team and how they rowed. They were a credit to themselves and their university."
Saturday was the first time in the Boat Race's history that the event had been disrupted by a swimmer, organisers said.
But it was not the first time it had been temporarily halted. In 2001 the race was stopped by the umpire just over a minute after the start following repeated warnings to both crews to move apart and then a clash of blades for which Oxford was blamed.
A Met police statement said:
Shortly before 14:30hrs on Saturday, 07 April 2012 police were alerted to a man in the River Thames where the Boat Race was being held.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) Marine Policing Unit (MPU) attended and took the man (no further details at this time) back to the riverside where he was arrested for a section 5 public order offence. He has been taken into custody at a west London police station.
Enquiries into the circumstances of the incident are ongoing.

Not long ago Washington Post fitness columnist Vicky Hallett floated the idea of Workout Wear Friday – a call to action to allow workers to wear exercise clothes to the office one day a week.
It is a good idea – and not just because it is practical for squeezing in exercise before or after work. Clothes you can move in make it easier to follow all that advice to take the stairs not the lift, get off the bus a stop earlier and take a brisk lunchtime walk.
Hallett's idea got a mixed reception. Some people liked it, others did not, with one commentator arguing that workplace dress codes promote discipline and productivity, and that wearing more relaxed clothes could undermine this.
Whether we'll win the right to wear yoga pants to work is anyone's guess but either way we have to get serious about breaking up the long bouts of uninterrupted sitting that are linked to a higher risk of chronic disease.
Although sitting is often called the new smoking, it is probably harder to tackle in the workplace than tobacco itself. It is one thing to ban smoking at work, but reducing sitting in the office is less straightforward.
''It's a bit like alcohol. While there's no safe level of smoking, there are safe levels of sitting and alcohol,'' says Marcus Dripps, President of the Australian Physiotherapy Association and a specialist in occupational health.
Some companies are making a difference with height-adjustable desks, but if you do not have that option you need other ways to break up sitting, he says. It is a question of looking at your own work environment and deciding what is practical. How much flexibility do you have for moving things such as printers, waste bins or even phones away from your desks to help force you out of your chair? Can you stand up and move around when you make phone calls?
''In some workplaces standing up to talk on the phone can be a distraction for other people, but if you have a hands free phone you can find a place to make calls that won't disturb others,'' he says. ''You might also be able to break up sitting by shifting your laptop to a filing cabinet or other higher surface so you can do some tasks standing up. Walking meetings and standing meetings are other ways – some workplaces are now designed with meeting rooms that allow people more space to stand.''
Compared to sitting, standing is also kinder to the back – another reason why standing up to use a keyboard some of the time is helpful, says Sydney exercise physiologist Hamish Fibbins who works with companies to help improve employee health.
Besides burning more kilojoules and activating the muscles in your glutes and legs, standing keeps your spine in neutral. Sitting, on the other hand, encourages slouching, which puts pressure on your lower back, he says.
Standing rather than sitting on public transport also cuts sitting time. ''If you have an hour's commute to and from work by train or bus, that's two hours in the day that you're not sitting,'' Fibbins says.
At work he recommends setting a timer every hour as a reminder to stand up and suggests using these breaks for tasks such as making phone calls or collecting documents from the printer.
''It's also crucial to get away from your desk for a walk at lunchtime – if you don't have long, just 15 minutes or a walk around the block will help,'' says Emily Burgess, a Canberra accredited practising dietitian and exercise physiologist who helps companies create healthy workplaces.
Burgess believes Workout Wear Friday has potential – especially if people in senior positions lead the way.
''Workout clothes do make you feel more like moving,'' she says. ''And workplace cultures can change – smoking at work used to be normal, but now no one would dream of lighting up in the office.''
What we eat between nine and five matters too – especially if the office culture embraces cake, she adds.
''It just takes one brave person to make a stand by bringing in healthy food to share like nuts and fruit for morning tea. If there's a birthday, bring in a healthier cake that you've made yourself.
''Fund-raiser chocolate is another problem – again there's pressure to buy it and if it's 3pm and you're hungry it's very tempting. But there are healthier ways of fund-raising, like selling small pots of herbs.''
What does your workplace do to make the working day healthier?

November 18, 2009 > Cougars make AYF National Championships
It might have seemed unimaginable at the beginning of the year, but after a very successful inaugural season, the Mission Valley Cougars qualified three levels to play in the American Youth Football National Championships in Florida."We had so many coaches and volunteers go into making this such a great season," Mission Valley Cougars President Chirika Gates said. "I couldn't be prouder of how everything turned out."The Rookies (7-1), Junior Varsity (4-2-2) and Varsity teams (8-0) each qualified for the prestigious tournament that will be held December 5-12 in Orlando. They will represent the Golden State Conference, which played this first season with four teams: the Castlemont Jr. Knights, the Grant Jr. Pacers, the San Jose 49ers and the Cougars. The Golden State Conference is designed for everyone to participate as it is an unlimited weight league."Kids who wouldn't get the chance to play until high school get that early training they need to prepare for when they do get to high school," Gates said. "That is especially helpful for linemen, who usually get to high school with little to no experience."In order for the Cougars to make the 3,000-plus mile trek to what is considered the most grueling tournament in the nation, they need financial help. The Cougars are made up of players from the Tri-City community (Fremont, Union City and Newark).In these tough economic times, even local youth franchises have been hurt. In order for the Cougars to participate in the National Championships, they'll need to raise $9,000 per team. All donations are tax deductible and helps support a great cause in the local community."We've done everything we can to give our kids every opportunity they deserve," Gates said. "Unfortunately, there are things out of our control. We want to make sure these kids get the chance to experience this golden opportunity. They've worked hard all year and we'd love to watch them finish out the season at the National Championships."An account has been set up at Fremont Bank for donations. The account number is 57903921. For more information, please call Gates at 510-972-0668.

WTF is... UltraViolet
Cloud Nine or Hurt Locker?
Posted in Personal Tech, 9th April 2012 11:00 GMT
We're all used to buying movies and TV series on disc. Many of us are accustomed to downloading films and shows from the likes of Apple's iTunes. A fair few of us stream video content from Netflix or Lovefilm. Wouldn't it better to combine all three into a single system?
Such a combo is what the Hollywood-backed UltraViolet is trying to become, and with the support of the best known content companies in the film business, plus retail giants like Tesco and Walmart; computing fims like Adobe, Microsoft, HP, IBM and Nvidia; IPTV players and broadcasters, including BSkyB and BT; streamers Netflix and Lovefilm; and hardware makers Panasonic, Philips, LG, Sony, Samsung, Toshiba and more - all members of the 75-strong Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE) consortium - it's hard to see it failing to succeed.
Not that it's the only player in town. Apple's iTunes stands apart, back turned, arms folded, nose high. Indeed, it's unlikely to ever be a part of UV since it is one of the service's key competitors. So too are all the folk making disc rips available through Torrent sites.
The UltraViolet way
UltraViolet, which launched in October 2011, is pitched as a universal cloud-hosted movie library. The notion is that all your content - not just what you will buy but also what you've already bought - will be permanently available to you on the internet.
Buy a film on Blu-ray Disc and, once you've created a UltraViolet account, either directly at the UV website or through the disc distributor's online shop, and you'll be able to stream the content too, not just watch it on your TV using a BD player.
You'll be able to download it too, for offline viewing - handy if you want to take a stack of films with you to while away the hours on a long flight, say.
Delete the file deliberately or accidentally, and you'll always be able to re-download it. Or simply stream it to avoid having to find disk space for it.
If you're not collecting discs any longer, you'll be able to buy UV movies just as you would a download from iTunes, Vudu or Blinkbox.
How UltraViolet works
Behind this process is a framwork that combines file formats and digital rights management (DRM) technology, and a mechanism to connect cloud-stored licences to content owners' online archives.
UV accounts don't store the content itself, only the licence that grants the account holder the right to view the material. Stream a movie through a UV partner's website or their app, and the system confirms that you're allowed to watch it. It then initiates a stream, or download, from whatever server farm holds the video file.
Paramount's UV store
There are two advantages here. First, content owners need only hold a couple of copies of each title, one in SD, the second in HD. Users' accounts don't accumulate copies of movies themselves.
Secondly, if a studio decides to offer, say, 4K by 2K copies, it can do so easily. If it likes, it could provide existing customers with access to those higher resolution files simply by updating their licences.
Licenced premises
Of course, that's unlikely to happen for free. UV currently offers two content profiles: one for SD content, the other for HD and SD content. Crucially, though, UV makes it possible to add higher resolutions or simply better copies - there's an audio drop-out in the current version, say - of existing files, easily and without troubling the customer.
But, yes, all this involves DRM, to prevent folk giving content away to all and sundry. But the DECE partners have tried to provide a true 'buy once, play anywhere' system that's as flexible for the viewer as working with DRM-less files can be.
UV's licensing terms allow the content licensed to any given account to be accessible by up to six household members. Any device with a web browser will be able to stream that content, and three files can be streamed simultaneously. UV's Ts&Cs permit downloads to a total of 12 devices. You can own one physical copy: either the Blu-ray Disc you started out with, or a secure memory card if you bought a download.
You can even sell the disc on or give it away, but it's unclear - the UV partners are vague about this - what that does to your digital copies. If they came 'bundled' with the discs you've just got rid of, you no longer have a right to the. Whether UV prevents the new owner from gaining downloadable copies - or automatically transfers your licence to them - remains to be seen.
Sequel server: Warner Bros' first UK UltraViolet release
Core technology
UltraViolet is, the DECE claims, built on standards. It has a Common File Format (CFF) derived from Microsoft's Protected Interoperable File Format (PIFF) and which holds AES-encrypted or unencrypted audio and video and DRM data. The Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) is wrapping the DECE's file format into the MPEG 4 container and other UV elements into its Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) protocol.
The DRM schemes UV files hold are Marlin, used by many connected TVs; the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) and the Content Management License Administrator's (CMLA) OMA 2.0, which is found on many mobile phones; Google's Wildvine; Microsoft's PlayReady; and Adobe's Flash Access 2.0.
Any of these DRM technologies can be used to play the file. Using the profile information, an SD player will only play SD content, but an HD player will handle HD or SD, as appropriate.
It's not all there yet, though. While some UV partners are currently offering downloads, the files transferred aren't yet fully compliant with the CFF, which isn't due to be finalised and launched until summer 2012. At this stage, it's unclear whether copies bought now will automatically be replaced with CFF-based ones, but there's no reason to believe they will not be. Annoying early adopters will do nothing to promote UV, especially when the industry is so keen to stress the service's consumer friendliness.
Once CFF-based download content is available, it will allow material purchased from source A to be freely viewed on source B's player. Viewers won't be tied to specific companies, just to the UV ecosystem as a (very big) whole, which is essentially what we've grown used to with physical media.
Converting libraries
UV won't only be relevant to new purchases. On 16 April, US retail giant Walmart will allow shoppers to bring in their DVDs and BDs and pay to have digital copies added to their UV accounts. An SD copy will set punters back $2 (£1.26), an HD copy $5 (£3.15), even if someone only owns the DVD. They get their discs back.
Walmart's scheme is the first of its kind, and requires you to sign up for the retailer's online video store, Vudu, though the digital copies you buy can be played on Warner's Flixster app, available on a number of platforms.
Other firms will follow Walmart in the States. Best Buy is a DECE member and is expected to announce a similar disc-to-digital scheme soon. And the smart money suggests fellow DECE member Tesco will offer such a service too, no doubt tied to its online video store, Blinkbox, which it bought in April 2011. It's not hard to imagine Walmart-owned Asda doing so too some way down the line.
Will Tesco's BlinkBox offer disc-to-digital trade-ups?
In the US, Amazon has voiced its interest in UV. Its UK-based Lovefilm streaming service, like the rival Netflix, is a DECE member. Both are likely to support UV in due course, offering UV sales as an alternative to their streaming and rental services.
Warner Bros UK has said it will support UV on all future BD releases, and Sony is expected to do so when the CPP is launched this coming summer. Virgin Media may add UV playback to its TiVo set-top box. Tesco's Blinkbox has confirmed that it will support UV. So has Dixons, which launched its own online movie shop earlier this year.
Apple alone
UV's universality replicates the old-style retail world. It allows you to buy content wherever it's cheapest and play it on whatever (compatible) device/app combo you fancy. The exception is - surprise, surprise - iTunes.
Apple's DRM technology, FairPlay, isn't part of the UV spec. Apple won't make it available - or at least hasn't so far. Under Steve Jobs it would have been unimaginable for the company to support UV, which is the antithesis of his lock-the-customer-in philosophy. CEO Tim Cook seems less dogmatic than Jobs, but it's hard to see him willingly loosening the hold Apple has over folk who buy content from iTunes, especially when the company's iCloud service allows it to match the functionality UV offers, if not its universality.
Indeed, pipelined projects such as the rumoured 'iTV' Apple television and a TV subscription service, suggest the company is preparing for a two-horse race: iTunes vs UV; us and them.
For now, Apple has the edge: it has hundreds of millions of customers worldwide - there are just under a million UV accounts in play - it has a better known brand and it is already selling lots and lots of content. UV really won't come into its own until it is relaunched in the summer with CPP support and the true universality the common file format makes possible.
Apple's iTunes to support UV? Not likely
Apple alone then? Not entirely. Disney is developing its own UV-like service, called KeyChest. Like Apple - to which it was, in Jobs' day, connected through Pixar - Disney reckons its brand is strong enough that people will come to it, no matter what.
The real target
But there's room for Apple, Disney and UV. Indeed, while it's tempting to see UV as an industry-wide attempt to resist the rise of the Cupertino giant, it's actually about discouraging consumers from downloading pirate copies of films. Most folk do so because it's free, and that's going to be a hard sell, no matter how flexible UV is.
But for downloaders who object to previously imposed tight DRM limits and those who'd rather go legal if given a decent way to do so, UV is attractive. And since it renders the need to rip purchased discs largely unnecessary, it may have the effect of limiting the amount of content available on Torrents. Maybe.
As the UV website admits: "Whether these options are available, and the details of how they work, may vary by retailer and by title." Likewise, content licensing limitations means that the service, while available in multiple countries, doesn't necessarily mean you can stream a US movie to a UK user. The industry still wants some say in what you watch, when - and that may be too much control for movie fans. ®

I am a feed provider have been for several years and trying to update some of my radios.
So for your consideration is my Uniden BC785D digital capable scanner.
The radio/scanner is in fair condition for it's age and the fact it was used in my vehicle for a while and as base for the last 10 years.
The radio/scanner works awesome, but as I'm trying to update some of my radios this has to go first.
The radio is 1000 channels trunktracker III with alpha numeric display.
I have NEVER ad to have any thing fixed on this radio/scanner, other than scratches the volume/squelch knob is slightly bent.
If I can locate it I'll include bracket.....
Paypal is only form of payment and the scanner is being sold as is.
I'm not in a position to give away so please don't ask. Shipping to the lower 48 only!!!
If you have questions please ask.
Good luck and thanks for looking.

A popular annual RIT project will experience a "flashback" to life along the Erie Canal in the 19th century.
On May 8, the world famous waterway along Schoen Place in Pittsford will be the subject of RIT's 24th Big Shot, often described as a "painting with light" photograph.
The Sam Patch, a replica of a 19th century packet boat, will be in the foreground of the photo and models dressed in period costume will be posed along the deck. Various businesses in Schoen Place, housed in converted barns, mills and canalside structures, will fill the background of the photograph.
Faculty from RIT's School of Photographic Arts and Sciences and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf will lead volunteers in creating the nighttime photograph. While volunteers illuminate the subject area, RIT photographers will take an extended exposure. Hundreds of volunteers are needed to create the image.
Participants should arrive by 7:45 p.m. and meet in Schoen Place by the Coal Tower. Volunteers should bring a camera flash unit or a flashlight and are asked to wear dark clothing.
"This is one of RIT's signature projects and we are thrilled to be part of a community-wide event that will bring greater visibility to the canal," says Victoria Schmitt, president of Corn Hill Navigation. "RIT has selected sites all over the globe for its Big Shot photographs, and the Erie Canal is a world-famous site right in our own backyard."
Michael Peres, RIT professor of photography and one of the Big Shot organizers adds: "Following the huge success of our Big Shot last year in Dubrovnik, Croatia, we are excited to bring the project back to Rochester. We hope a lot of people from the community come out on the evening of May 8. Teams of volunteers will be needed on both sides of the canal to light the area. We want to thank the village and town of Pittsford, the Schoen Place merchants, Corn Hill Navigation and RG&E for all of their support and help in making this event possible."
Parking is limited in Schoen Place. On-street and off-street parking is available on Main Street and Monroe Avenue near Schoen Place.
The Big Shot event is sponsored by Nikon Inc. Participants will receive a memento print of the final photograph.
Past Big Shots have highlighted historical places including Pile Gate in Dubrovnik, Croatia; the Royal Palace in Stockholm, Sweden; the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas; and the World War II aircraft carrier, the USS Intrepid.
For more information on Big Shot, visit www.rit.edu/bigshot or call 475-2863.

I think that is actually good for a standard camera, too, in that sometimes people can get caught up in taking pictures of an event to such a degree that they really don't experience the event fully. I think getting a good balance can be tough.
I love the concept (giving a clear set of guidelines for the child) but I loathe the execution. Her style is just so off-putting. In terms of the rules themselves, the one I hate most is this one: "If it rings, answer it. It is a phone. Say hello, use your manners. Do not ever ignore a phone call if the screen reads "Mom" or "Dad". Not ever." So basically if the son is having dinner at somebody's house, or having a conversation with somebody, he's supposed to rudely interrupt it to answer his phone? (I presume, of course, that the parents have a general idea of his whereabouts and aren't calling to find out where he is). It's a terrible blanket rule to imply that answering your phone anywhere and everywhere is required - I'd be telling my kid the exact opposite! (e.g. don't be tied to your phone and think you have to answer it every second of the day).
Doing a little math here:7:30 AM to 7:30 PM (schoolnights) or 9 PM (weekends) comes out to 86 hours a week, as a starting figure. (out of 168 hours a week)."It does not go to school with you". Let's assume that to be seven hours a day, transit time included. That brings us down to 41 hours per week.Turn it off in public: Well, now we're really getting somewhere. Let's assume this kid hangs with friends for an hour each day on schooldays, and spends five hours away from home each day on weekends (mall, friends, whathaveyou.) That brings us down to 26 hours a week."Leave your phone home sometimes." Well, that's unsettlingly vague, so we'll just stick with 26 hours. He's graciously allowed to use his Christmas present for a whopping 16% of the time. Isn't she the greatest?Yes, she can set whatever rules she wants (and obviously does so), but this is not a gift. This is her toy that she lends him. Which she passed off as a major holiday present.
12. Do not send or receive pictures of your private parts or anyone else's private parts. Don't laugh. Someday you will be tempted to do this despite your high intelligence.

The resident physician had a worried look on his face. He told me that he had just seen a 70-year-old woman who had suddenly become blind. His worried look quickly spread to my face.
The resident physician had a worried look on his face.
He told me that he had just seen a 70-year-old woman who had suddenly become blind. His worried look quickly spread to my face.
Sudden onset of blindness in both eyes is exceedingly rare, short of a traumatic injury to both eyes. The optic nerves, retina, nerve pathways to the brain and many other parts of the eye generally are not bilaterally affected by a disease at the same rate or same time.
The resident went on to say that the patient had a history of macular degeneration in her right eye and that her vision on that side typically was poor. Macular degeneration is common in older patients and is the leading cause of gradual onset blindness in people older than 50.
The woman�s baseline vision in her right eye was poor enough that she could detect only bright lights. She was unable to differentiate movement or even make out shapes in that eye. It was clear that we were dealing with an acute loss of vision in her left eye.
She told us that macular degeneration had started in her left eye, but it was much less advanced than in the other. She had given up driving years ago but was still able to get around her house and even read with the assistance of large-print books and eyeglasses.
She said her symptoms had started the day before when she experienced a temporary dimming of her vision, which had resolved itself spontaneously. She thought it might have been caused by tearing in her good eye.
She was eating breakfast with her husband this morning when suddenly all she could see was blurred white light.
The woman covered one eye and then the other. She was shocked to find that her left eye � her � good eye� � saw nothing. Not even light. She told her husband to get her to an emergency department.
A physical exam the resident completed confirmed that her left pupil did not react to bright light. The exam of her cornea and lens revealed no abnormalities, and the pressures in her eyes were normal, essentially ruling out glaucoma. The rest of her neurologic exam checked out.
We finally got our answer when we examined her retina, which was markedly paler than the one in her other eye. Our diagnosis quickly narrowed toward ocular stroke.
An ocular stroke, like any stroke, is a sudden blockage of blood flow to a portion of the brain. The retina technically is a part of the brain and is exquisitely sensitive to decreased blood flow.
We have struggled to find effective treatments for this condition. It is uncommon, and studies examining various therapies have been mostly inconclusive.
Over the years, we have tried a number of different treatments, including massaging the eyeball using our fingers in hopes of dislodging and breaking up the central blood clot.
We have had patients breathe in a mixture of 5 percent carbon dioxide and 95 percent oxygen to see if we could increase the supply of oxygen to other areas of the retina to compensate for the loss.
We have tried medications to decrease eye pressure and even have resorted in some cases to using a needle to suck out some of the fluid to do the same. None was especially effective.
The only treatment that has shown any effectiveness has been hyperbaric oxygen therapy, in which patients are placed in pressurized chambers filled with high concentrations of oxygen. But even this treatment has not been a significantly curative treatment for ocular stroke.
The bottom line is that the key to the management of ocular stroke is prevention. In general, strokes are more likely to occur in patients who smoke, are obese or heavy drinkers, or have uncontrolled diabetes, high cholesterol or high blood pressure.
Ocular strokes are more likely to follow clots that break off and travel to the artery and are most common in patients with heart-valve disease, abnormal heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation or thick plaque in their carotid arteries.
If you have one of these conditions, managing it carefully can help prevent catastrophic vision loss.

Please note that "cargo" is not normally a count noun. Indeed, it is itself plural.
Please place the purchase order to the factory for the shipment, and include Sun Cheong. As per Nancys instructions we need to send them the PO as per normal procedure. That is even though their company has shut down.How do you buy something from a company that no longer exists?
(As usual, additional context would have been helpful.)

Junior running back Nick Fazio ran for a pair of first quarter touchdowns and the Johns Hopkins University football team turned six turnovers into 21 points to defeat host Moravian College, 41-3 in Centennial Conference action Saturday at Rocco Calvo Field.
The Blue Jays improve to 2-1 overall and 2-0 in conference action while the Greyhounds suffered their third straight loss to fall to 1-3 on the season and 1-2 in the Centennial Conference.
Johns Hopkins received the opening kickoff and picked up a first down before punting the ball away to Moravian. The Greyhounds picked up a pair of first downs on their initial drive including a ten-yard run by sophomore running back Joe Tegan. However, sophomore Tyler Thompson came on to punt for the first time in collegiate career.
The Blue Jays started at their own 17-yard line and put together a 12-play, 83-yard drive to open the scoring. Fazio would cap the drive with a one-yard run on third-and-goal while senior Alex Lachman made the extra-point for a 7-0 JHU lead with 4:15 to play in the first quarter.
On Moravian's first play, freshman quarterback Phil Gardner lost the handle on the ball while attempting a handoff, and Blue Jay sophomore linebacker P.J. Caufield covered the ball at the Moravian29-yard line.
Johns Hopkins needed just six plays to get into the end zone again with Fazio scoring from one-yard out again. Lachman's kick gave the Blue Jays a 14-0 lead with 1:58 remaining in the first quarter.
To start the Greyhounds' next possession, Tegan was hit by junior linebacker Tyler Brown, forcing a fumble that was cover by JHU sophomore defensive back Adam Schweyer at the Moravian 32-yard line.
The Blue Jays needed four plays to capitalize on the turnover with junior quarterback Hewitt Tomlin hitting junior wide receiver Sam Wernick with a five-yard touchdown pass on third-and-goal on the first play of the second quarter. Lachman connected on the extra-point for a 21-0 lead.
Moravian started from its own 20-yard line after a touchback, and the Greyhounds put together a nine-play, 56-yard drive to score their only points of the game. On the second play of the possession, Gardner found senior wide receiver Shawn Sylvainus for a 42-yard completion. Moravian moved to the JHU 22-yard line before the drive stalled. On fourth-and-12, junior kicker Ian Heck came on and made a career long 41-yard field goal to cut the Blue Jay's lead to 21-3 with 10:36 to go in the first half.
Johns Hopkins needed just seven plays, and 2:51 to extend its lead with a 68-yard scoring drive. Tomlin found sophomore wide receiver Scott Cremens for a nine-yard touchdown pass on a third-and-goal play, and the duo connected three times on the drive for 61 of the 68 yards. Lachman pushed the lead to 28-3 with 7:39 until the intermission.
The Greyhounds were able to get one first down on their next drive before punting the ball back to the Blue Jays. JHU started at its own 35-yard line, and Tomlin called his own number one the first play, rushing for 53 yards to the Moravian 12-yard line. On third-and-goal from the one, junior fullback Scotty Barletta scored. Lachman missed the extra-point, leaving the score at 34-3 with 3:08 left in the second quarter.
The teams traded punts before Gardner was intercepted by junior linebacker Ryan Piatek at midfield, and a 22-yard return set the Blue Jays up at the Moravian 28 yard line with 15 seconds left in the half. After a pair of incompletions, Lachman attempted a 45-yard field goal on the final play of the first half, but the kick was wide right, leaving the halftime score at 34-3 Johns Hopkins.
Moravian opened the second half with a 20 yard completion from Gardner to senior wide receiver Alex Hersch; however, Hersch was hit from behind by Schweyer to force a fumble recovered by junior defensive back Mike Milano.
JHU was unable to capitalize on the turnover, punting after three plays. Moravian gained one first down before punting again while the Blue Jays went three-and-out on their second drive of the third quarter.
Gardner was intercepted again on the third play of Moravian's next possession, this time by senior defensive back D.J. Hartigan. However, Tomlin was intercepted by Greyhound sophomore linebacker Jake Hildebrand on the very next play to five Moravian the ball right back. Hildebrand returned the interception 16 yards to the JHU 28-yard line.
Moravian would get into the red zone but faced a
fourth-and-one. Sophomore running back Rocco Del Priore was
stopped on the fourth down play, turning the ball over to the Blue

JHU would get the ball right back when sophomore linebacker Kevin Rems intercepted a pass by Greyhound junior quarterback Max Coveleski. The Blue Jays took over at the Moravian 19-yard line and needed six plays to finish off the scoring in the game. Junior running back A.J. Safi scored on a third-and-goal from the one, and Lachman made the extra-point for a 41-3 lead with 9:58 to play.
Moravian punted on its final two possessions of the game while the Blue Jays punted once and then kneeled down to end the contest.

UAE inflation up 1.7pc in June
Dubai, July 20, 2011
Annual inflation in the UAE soared to 1.7 per cent in June as food prices hit a nine-month high, official data showed yesterday, but the housing component helped contain price pressures.
On the month, living costs rose to an eight-month high of 0.4 per cent in June, after a 0.2 per cent rise in May, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed.
Consumer price growth in the world's third-largest oil exporter hovered close to 1 per cent for most of 2010 as the debt woes of Dubai state-owned companies depressed bank lending and the once-booming property sector remained weak.
'I would assume that inflation continues to rise, driven by food prices and the transport category,' Giyas Gokkent, chief economist at the National Bank of Abu Dhabi, was quoted as saying in our sister publication, the Gulf Daily News.
Inflation in the Opec member climbed to a three-month high of 1.4 per cent on an annual basis in May.
Food costs, which account for 14 per cent of the basket, soared by 1.4 per cent month-on-month in June, after increasing by 1.3 per cent in the previous month.
Housing prices, the largest basket item with a 39 per cent share, increased by 0.2 per cent on a monthly basis in June after declining for six consecutive months as the property sector remains weak.
Oversupply continues to hurt the country's property market with 18,000 new homes expected to hit Dubai's market by the end of the year and rents in Abu Dhabi dropping 9 per cent in the second quarter, reports showed. Transport costs were unchanged month-on-month in June. – TradeArabia News Service

The project general contractor, Walsh Construction, used four self-propelled mobile transporters to relocate the fully assembled bridge from its assembly site to its final position on the new bridge piers a few hundred feet away.
The 394-foot-long, 43-million-pound bridge will carry Chicago South Shore and South Bend commuter trains and is a key project in the $101 million reconfiguration and grade separation of the intersection of 130th Street and Torrence Avenue, which is part of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's Building a New Chicago infrastructure program.
The bridge is also a part of CREATE project GS15a, which will reconstruct the intersection to improve traffic flow among all modes of transportation. The project will eliminate the two at-grade crossings of the NS tracks, lower both roads under a new NS freight bridge and the bridge moved into place this weekend, is positioned over the NS tracks.
Daniel Gross, vice president Construction Management Services Director, Great Lakes, with Alfred Benesch & Company, which designed and served as construction management on the bridge, said an option to build the bridge in place was considered, but the construction would take place over live Norfolk Southern tracks, which meant work on the bridge would have to shut down for safety reasons each time a train passed, making assembly of the bridge off site and then moving it into place the better option.
"[The move] is a success," said Gross. "Everything has been planned and pre-tested and we all were very confident this would work."

A Model for Evaluating Financial Performance of Companies by Data Envelopment Analysis - A Case Study of 36 Corporations Affiliated with a Private Organization
In the contemporary world, with the rapid growth of commercial activities there is no doubt on the inevitability of existence of a performance evaluation system in all organizations. This necessity is so evident that the lack of an evaluation system is regarded as a symptom of the organization unhealthiness. Financial evaluations encourage companies to attain a higher level of performance by showing current financial position of a company in relation to other companies and creating a competitive environment. Such evaluations are also useful in reforming and improving weaknesses which is done through recognition of the strengths of performed activities. To this end, the present study has developed a model to evaluate corporate performance through data envelopment analysis and has examined the model on a group of companies. To do so, the means of financial performance for a five year period including: liquidity, activities, leverage, and economic added value are employed as input indices of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) Model and profitability ratios as output indices of the model. BCC input oriented covering model was used to rank the companies under study. Besides, a group of 36 companies were employed as the sample in the present case study of which 9 companies were found as efficient and the remaining 27 companies were regarded as inefficient. Efficient corporate were further ranked by Anderson Peterson Model. Finally, the extent and causes of weaknesses of each company were expressed by the use of reference units and auxiliary variables.

|Morocco Method: Raw, Vegan, Gluten-Free hair products
[An aside: Can you believe my 7th-grade English teacher saw me toting the book and told me it was "too old" for me? Wow.]
Flash-forward about 35 years. These days, between blogging, Tweeting, Instagram-ing, Pinning, and downloading books to my Kindle faster than you can say "civil disobedience," I still daydream about living off the grid. I think America's new-found reliance on technology, love of instant gratification, and contracted attention spans, IMHO, have actually fueled the current popular craft, flea market and DIY sub-cultures. Even though these quiet past-times may seem nostalgic, I see them more as acts of rebellion...
|Pablo loves Morocco Method. As you can see from the dollop of shampoo, the color is naturally caramel-like,
The good: Revolutionary hair care! All natural. Raw. Vegan. Gluten-Free. Cruelty-free. Environmentally friendly. Many of their products are gentle enough for kids and even pets. The products I tried smelled absolutely lickable and made my hair shiny and soft. Morocco Method donates a portion of their profits to worthy organizations like the Blind Cat Rescue and Sanctuary and Boys to Men California Coast Mentoring Project, to name just a few.
The not-so-good: If Morocco Method wants to be competitive in the busy natural hair care marketplace, they seriously need a good package designer. This stuff screams "Health Food Store." Which worked about 10 years ago but not any more.
I'm undecided on: The Lunar Hair Chart they list on their web site. Part of me thinks it's charming in a kooky sort of way, and part of me dislikes how it will fuel the stereotype of the crunched-out dreamer vegan.
Bottom line, if you are looking for a solid, natural hair care product, look no further. The nice folks at Morocco Method have made it easy. They've offered to send a free Heavenly Chi Shampoo and Diamond Crystal Mist Leave-In Conditioner to one lucky reader [US residents only, please]. All you have to do is leave a comment listing the ingredient in mainstream hair care products that most concerns you. And you get extra brownie points by doing any – and preferably all, of the following

COAL CITY, Ill. — Coal City voters approved a referendum at the polls Tuesday to allow video gambling machines in village establishments that serve alcohol.
Just over 1,400 residents, or 63.55 percent of voters, voted yes on the non-binding referendum, while 812, or 36.45 percent, voted no.
The referendum stemmed from the village board's summer discussion of the topic, which was brought up when the Illinois Gaming Board approached the village at the opening of the application process for establishments.
Under the Video Gaming Act, approved by state legislators in 2009, up to five machines may be placed in IGB-licensed establishments with licenses to serve alcohol, fraternal and veterans establishments, and truck stops.
During discussion, the village's leaders presented a variety of views, from support and opposition to indifference. They ultimately approved a motion to put the issue before Coal City residents in a non-binding resolution, pledging to uphold whatever the result.
Marvin Perino, owner of Babe's Tap in Coal City and one of the local business owners who organized support for the referendum, said that, as the precinct results rolled in Tuesday night, he received a number of calls about it. He was glad to see the results.
"I'm really happy about it," he said. "The most important thing is the people in Coal City have voted in favor (of gaming) and we look forward to the Coal City trustees letting us move forward."
Coal City Mayor Neal Nelson, who has expressed reservations about the machines, watched the results come in Tuesday night at the Grundy County Courthouse.
"I'm a little bit surprised, but the people have spoken and the board has always said we'll let the people vote on this," he said.
Nelson said the approving the ordinance quickly is a priority for the board and that it will be brought before them at their next meeting on Monday, Nov. 12.
"We'll allow our businesses to compete with other local businesses in Carbon Hill and Wilmington," he said.
He also said Perino did a solid job representing local businesses in the referendum, and commented on the clean campaigning.
"I think it was a great (example of) democracy in action," he said.
Coal City voters approve video gaming referendum
63 percent of voters vote 'Yes'
COAL CITY, Ill. — Coal City voters approved a referendum at the polls Tuesday to allow video gambling machines in village establishments that serve alcohol.

The Gift is the Blessing of the Giver.
May Paul d'hib guide us.
May we give to each other.
I just spent (wasted) a whole Monday afternoon plowing through this thread from beginning to end. The one thing that surprises me is that, around the middle mark of the 1300+ postings here, Sex Kitten (who we all now know is merely another incarnation of the OP Enchanted) asked for people to PM him to share some information he had about Andreus. What that information was or why Sex Kitten made the request was never explained.
Why the interest of Enhanted/Sex Kitten/Waffles in this long-dead character Andreus baffles me, especially given E/SK's very self-absorbed personality.
I think that ESK wanted to feed on the life force essence that was Andreus.
Just like months from now.....people will keep coming back to this thread to be able to say that they touched the hand of someone who touched the hand who was touched by the hand of Andreus.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I come back to this site after a long long time and here's Andreus again. I remember him. We've had some quarrels. Btw, he claimed he could speak Arabic, but the sample he provided was jibberish.
He claimed a lot of things, but if he ever touched on a subject that I had studied it was clear that he actually knew very little.
translated it into Azerbaijani, and then that result into Albanian and then back into English and this is the result :
He claims a lot, but I have not researched that touched on a subject, if he really knew very little is understood.
He was a shit stirrer, just like you. Maybe you are Andreus?
Tell me more about Sixthson.

The only assumption to make is that they make a deal, clearing the way for Junior to DH... or they play Junior in centerfield... with all that implies. Griffey has always said he wanted to win a championship. The White Sox are in 1st place... hard to imagine this doesnt go through...

BOSTON — Concerns for the Bruins' mental state today after they dropped Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final in Tampa yesterday are unfounded, according to them at least.
"We're fine," declared alternate captain Mark Recchi on an off day at the TD Garden, where Game 5 will be played tomorrow night. "It's a best-of-three now. We went down there, we kept home ice, so we did the job we had to do and you take the loss like yesterday and you can't worry about it. If you dwell on it, it's just going to screw you up."
Head coach Claude Julien offered a similar diagnosis for his team.
"We're fine. I think it's, this is what hockey's all about," said the coach. "It's a tight series and we understand that we didn't do a very good job from the second period on yesterday afternoon. And you have to think about what you need to do tomorrow to be able to bounce back. And that's all we're thinking about right now. You make corrections, you make adjustments, you do what you have to do. But when you're this far into the playoffs, you certainly don't let the mental part of the game get to you."

Speed work at Varsity Sports again. They called for 4x1000 repeats with recovery in between. Ryan, the owner, calculated what my split times should be based on my last 5K. He said to aim for 5:15 (about an 8:30 pace) for each 1000 and to really just try and pace myself and keep it consistent. Last week I went out too hard and too fast for that first 1600 and just wore myself out. This time (with a lot of help from Minnie and Susan pushing me) I managed to hold 5:15 for the first three and 5:09 for the last 1000. It was a great workout and I was so glad that Susan came again. She and I are perfect pacers for each other. She would push me and I would push her to keep the pace up and consistent. It was a total 5 miles in all with warm up and cool down jogs. My legs were tired, but I wasn't dead like I was the week before.
I had intended Friday to be a rest day in preparation for the 4 mile Shorts Run race on Saturday and to recover from the speed work on Thursday. Thursday night Claudia and Lourdes (my long run friends on Saturdays) e-mail me saying they can't run on Saturday and ask if I can meet them for an 8 miler on Friday. I was off on Friday and figured I would go ahead and run it to get my mileage in. So, I got up at 5:30 and met them at 6:30 for our morning run (yes - ON MY DAY OFF I GOT UP THAT EARLY....I AM a crazy person). We had every intention of running it slow and easy on Friday morning but a nice little cool front had rolled in the night before and really cooled things down. The cool, breezy air just made the run pleasant and the conversation carried us easily to the 4 mile marker. The 4 miles back came just as quickly and easily. I checked Minnie when we got back to the car and I couldn't believe that we held an average 9:47 pace for all 8 miles. I think that's the first time I've broken a sub 10:00 pace for that distance. We all went to Starbucks after to sit outside and cool down and drink some coffee to re-energize. It was a great run.
Susan really wanted me to come run the 4 mile race with her so I decided to just suck it up and go run and have fun on Saturday morning. My legs were pretty tired from Thursday and Friday's runs. She got her booty kicked at boot camp on Friday, so she was tired too. We decided just to treat this race as a recovery run and have fun with it.
I parked about a half mile away from the race start to try and get my legs to loosen up a bit. I snapped some pics on my walk down toward the Lakefront.

The finish! Finish time 36:23
My race shorts (you don't get a race t-shirt with this race, you get a pair of Asics running shorts) and my race number.
Rest day. I was thinking of running another local 5K, but my knee objected. Three days in a row of running (and 17 miles) my right knee was having none of it. I decided to listen to my body and rest. And I had to drive up to Jackson, MS (2.5 hours away) to pick up my niece, so I figured I should rest up and relax for the drive. I had a full two days of non-stop 8 year old ahead of me. :)
Today I LOVE: Rest...sweet, much needed rest.
