Post subject: Why you don't go to events?
Some of us were discussing at the recent campout why some people don't attend events. Thought I would start a thread and poll as to why? We had about 25 to 30 people throughout the weekend, but I know WI campouts attract many more. Any ideas?

Umm... my reason wasn't listed.
Basically my car was on the fritz this weekend and I didn't want to get stranded up there and pay for the tow home
Plus I'm on a mission to get to 500 by October 1st, and it's VERY important that I do. I just figured the best course of action was to stick in an area closer to home and cache as much as possible. Luckily my car played nice the whole time.
If not for those things, I would have loved to go, I've been to a few events and enjoyed them, can't see why I wouldn't in the future.

For me...its all about conflicts of interest and time....
I almost always make an event at 9ish p.m. during the week!!!
I hate to say it like this but I "charish" my weekends...I often have to work 2 or 3 weekends out of the month....so When I don't have to work I try to spend time with my family doing the things they like to do......
I thought it was going to get easier with the girls growing up but ...I forgot about swimming, gymnastics, hockey, school, etc...what the heck....those kids are screwing up my caching.
The way I see it...I need to win the POWERBALL...Quit work....and Hire a full time Nanny, a full time coach, a full time cook....and then I might be able to go caching......
also...think of the prizes in my caches when I win.

Excuse for missing Bowling Get Sauced: started too late.
Excuse for missing Fairbault event was kids (can't recall reason).
Excuse for missing camping event was Fall Baseball (kids).
Looks like we'll make it to the Twins Get Sauced.
Probably make it for Baylor Park astro event and/or Spring Lake Park. But I've said that before and some kid thing comes up and I can't go.

Could you add another option to that list? How about..... Too far to drive?
I have been to a couple of events, but with them that far away. I have to leave home while it's still dark and most of the time I don't get home till it's dark or long after.... If I knew for sure that I wasn't going overseas I would plan some type of event out my direction.

I guess I'd sure like to go, but don't really consider it. Why I don't know.
I'd really like to meet people face to face. Perhapps I would feel better knowing them. I've never met a single other geocacher in person (besides friends and family). What are the events all about? I saw some camping. I love camping. Is it just like an event where you compete for caches? I think I would love to go!

I would have loved to do a camping event-- I LOVE to camp but don't do nearly enough of it-- but I had previously (as in weeks ago) volunteered to do observatory duty with my astro-club this past weekend. I would love to do more things with MN geocachers. I've planned to be at the next "Get Sauced" event at the Dome, so hope to see some of youse there!

Well for me I've made some and not made some.
The breakfast events are usually the easiest for me to make.
The weekly night caching is hit and miss with me as sometimes it's work, sometimes it's kids, and sometimes I can cache.
The "Get Sauced" events are usually harder as they are usually pretty far away and I have to be at work pretty early.
The campout. Well lets just say that I put 29 hours on my timecard for Saturday and Sunday. Work is a bit@h.
Airborne All the Way!

Previous committment kept me away from the 'Event' this year. I hope to make some of the gatherings and will try to keep track of options as they come up. The park you were at is just down the way from a family cabin. It would have been a treat to meet you folks! Thanks for getting me into geocaching!

I had every intention of making the camping event, but I had Guards--I normally have Guards the first weekend of the month, and I'm used to it being the second weekend in September, but this year, 9/11, or Patriot Day, fell on Saturday, so Guards was the third weekend. Also, my version of "Lumberg" thinks I'm available to work on any Saturday I don't have Guards--the owner and most of the management don't have a life outside of work, and they seem to think nobody else does, either.

In order to get my "day job" I had to agree to be "on call" every third week. I've been caching for a little over a year, and have yet to see an event I can get to. But hope to hit one soon. It should change to once a month soon, otherwise, see you on the trails.

I voted with time conflict, but in truth it's more distance. Though busy schedule of duaghters does play a big part.

His original viewing party plans had fallen through, but when Johnathan Franklin's name finally was called, he was too emotional to care.
After a winding collegiate career that ended with becoming UCLA's all-time leading rusher, the tailback became a Green Bay Packer on Saturday via a fourth-round draft pick.
"Words can't describe how I feel right now," Franklin said less than a half-hour after being picked 125 th overall. "It's a blessing. I've been in tears for the past 15, 20 minutes.
"It's been my dream my whole life. My whole life. It's what I've been waking up thinking about every day. Every day!"
He was the second Bruin drafted by the Packers after defensive end Datone Jones on the northeastern shore of Wisconsin. Their selections - separated by 99 picks - marked the first time an NFL team took two UCLA players in the same draft since 2006. That was the year Jacksonville took Marcedes Lewis and Maurice Jones-Drew in the first and second rounds.
Franklin, the first Bruins tailback drafted since Jones-Drew, had been regarded as one of the top three players at his position but was passed over time and time again Friday as the second and third rounds rolled on without him. Seven running backs - including Arkansas' Knile Davis, an injury-plagued back who rushed for just 377 yards last season - were drafted earlier.
A handful of teammates, including UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley, had gathered at his house Friday. But when Franklin broke into tears Saturday he was surrounded only by family.
"It just pushed me and lit that fire a little more," he said. "Sometimes things in life are blessings in disguise, if you know what I mean. I'm not mad. I'm not angry, because I know who my God is. I know he got me.
"He showed up today and I'm thankful today. I didn't doubt him."
The 5-foot-10, 205-pounder piled up 1,734 yards in 2012 and broke Karim Abdul-Jabbar's UCLA single-season record. Franklin was the runner-up for the Doak Walker Award and completely rid himself of the fumbling habit he had through his first three years.
He should be an ideal fit for the Packers, who also drafted 5-foot-11, 231-pound Eddie Lacy out of Alabama in the second round. Green Bay has long needed to bolster its running game and now has a pair of backs to help star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who recently signed a record five-year, $110 million contract extension.
"One of the things I love about Franklin is the way he can pass-protect, which is rare," NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah said during the broadcast. "When you pay Aaron Rodgers the money you just paid him, you want to protect him."

Girl Scouts on WNBC News 4 New York
On Monday night, three members of the Girl Scouts of Greater New York appeared on WNBC News 4 New York. The three - Janae Headly of Troop 2018 in Brooklyn, Rachel Malken of Troop 4121 in Queens, and Lucretia Edwards of Troop 2043 in Brooklyn - are among the 25 girls whom will take part in the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday.
All the girls participating in the parade are Ambassador Girl Scouts who have earned their Gold Award, the Girl Scouts' highest honor. Janae, Rachel and Luctetia did a wonderful job representing the Girl Scouts. And, we are immensely grateful to our board member Amy Kule, executive producer of the Macy's Parade, for giving us this wonderful opportunity as we kick off the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts of Greater New York.
The girls were interviewed by Anchor Erika Tarantal and you can watch the interview here:

BREVARD, N.C.- Brevard College's Shelby Wolfe helped the Tornados to a 91-68 victory over the Tusculum College Pioneers with career-highs in both points and rebounds in Boshamer Gymnasium on Wednesday night, notching a 23-point, 12-rebound double-double in South Atlantic Conference action.
The sophomore scored 13 points and grabbed seven rebounds in the first half on the way to her second double-double of the season. Wolfe finished 8-for-14 from the floor and 7-for-8 from the free throw line.
The Tornados never trailed thanks to a 15-3 run to start the game, and closed the first half with 10 unanswered points to take a commanding 50-30 lead into the break.
Hadara Bannister also notched her career-high in the scoring column, dropping 19 points in addition to five rebounds and three assists. The sophomore had a game-high 14 points in the first half.
The Tornados didn't let their lead slip below 17 at any point in the second half.
BC scored a season-high 91 points after shooting 45 percent (27-of-60) from the field on the night, their top shooting performance in conference play this season.
Freshman Madison Lenox added 15 points in her second career start for the Tornados, going 5-for-9 from the field and 4-6 from the charity stripe.
Brevard's defense, who limited Tusculum to a season-low 55 points in their first meeting, held the Pioneers to a 34.4 shooting percentage from the field (21-for-61) to complete the season sweep.
Blakeley Burleson led the Pioneers with 18 points, while Nequoiah Anderson added 11 points and Shynese Whitener had 10 points and five assists.
The Tornados look to build on the win on Saturday afternoon as they host the Catawba College Indians in Boshamer Gymnasium at 2 p.m.

Minnesota Players to Watch:
What a win means for Michigan: The Brown Jug remains in Ann Arbor; Michigan becomes bowl eligible;
What a win means for Minnesota: The Brown Jug returns for the first time since 2005; Minnesota's first home win vs. Michigan since 1977, two stadiums ago; would become bowl eligible; would win two straight conference games for the first time since 2010
What Minnesota Brags About: The home of Bronko Nagurski; seven national championships; six NFL Hall of Fame members; they beat Alabama (2004, pre-Nick Saban, post- Bear Bryant); you can buy beer there.
That's right. You can buy beer at TCF Stadium and they're proud of it. Alcohol sales at the new stadium have probably been their biggest off-field story, and the headlines have lasted a few years. For 27 seasons between 1982 and 2008, fans have been enjoying suds at the Metrodome, an off campus site that's also the home to the Vikings and Twins. They found themselves alcohol dependent when the games moved back to campus in 2009 and the battle has been brewing ever since.
Jerry Kill
First seen as a way to boost suite and club room sales for a sub .500 football team for the past 50 years, the state legislature intervened and demanded that beer and wine must be available for everyone at the game instead of just for the financially elite. The University balked and for the next few years the two sides battled and compromised over what, how much and where alcohol could be served. News coverage was equivalent to a new bridge to Windsor and certainly bigger than the football team itself. Slogans like "Beer for one, beer for all" were created as if the issue was on par with the nation's Bill of Rights.
Approved for the 2012 and 2013 football seasons, you can get a 16 oz. beer for $7.25 at the Beer Garden at the West Plaza through halftime. Actual sales have doubled their expectations. Perhaps now that they can drink, the University can pay for their 300 million dollar stadium, and the fans may now be able to better tolerate the play on the field.
Starting wide receiver A.J. Barker (Jr. #82) rolled his ankle during last week's game. He didn't practice through Thursday and is doubtful.
Starting left tackle Ed Olson (Jr. #58) has missed the last two games with an ankle injury. He didn't practice Tuesday.
Starting defensive end D.L. Wilhite (Sr. #95) is listed as questionable by the Gophers twitter account. He leads the team with 6.5 sacks.
Starting safety Derrick Wells (So. #13) (leg) is listed as questionable by the Gophers twitter account.
Starting linebacker Mike Rallis (Sr. #26) also has an ankle injury. He missed practice through Tuesday but is expected to play.
The Last Time They Met
What's a bigger black eye? Being shutout or giving up 58?
It was a clinic and it was historic. Michigan dominated Minnesota 58-0 in Ann Arbor to open up conference play. It was the first Big Ten shutout for the Wolverines since beating Penn State 21-0 in 2001. It was also Michigan's largest margin of victory over the Golden Gophers in 98 meetings.
Vincent Smith became the fifth Big Ten player in 16 years to rush, receive and throw a touchdown. The Wolverines scored on their first six possessions and led 38-0 at half. Minnesota, who played without versatile quarterback MarQueis Gray (Sr. #5), was held to 177 yards of total offense. They had more penalty yards than rushing yards.
"It was just embarrassing to our program and to our state," Troy Stoudermire (Sr. # 2) said. "We're looking for a little revenge this year."
Their Season So Far
The Golden Gophers started the season with an unblemished non-conference and a 4-0 record for the first time since 2008. Gray injured his ankle in week three and missed the next two games against Syracuse and Iowa. Gray returned for the Northwestern game, playing both quarterback and receiver but barely made it past halftime before having to leave the game. It has derailed what appeared to be a promising senior season for the former four star dual-threat recruit.
In a surprise move, head coach Jerry Kill decided to permanently move Gray back to receiver to finish his collegiate career and go with a decorated freshman at quarterback, Philip Nelson (#9). Nelson's accolades are a bit subjective. A three-star QB according to Scout and others, Tom Lemming ranked him the 2nd best pro-style quarterback and was named the best player in Minnesota by several publications. At Wisconsin, Nelson became the 3rd different quarterback to start for the Golden Gophers.
Most fans expected an improvement from last year's 3-9 record and they've got it. Five wins was the preseason outlook, so if they win again they'll surpass most everyone's expectations.
Last Week
At the same time the Michigan offense has raised some serious doubts the Wolverines future in 2012, Minnesota hasn't been more confident after beating Purdue 44-28. Seen initially as raising the white flag and preparing for 2013, Nelson was very impressive in the first half throwing three touchdowns from 34, 38, and 63 yards. A 33 yard pass to Gray set up Minnesota's only rushing touchdown.
Purdue with its strong defensive front and playmaking corners appeared to have a perfect formula to blitz the true freshman quarterback making his 2nd career start. It seemed elementary if not a fundamental strategy middle-school aged kids would understand, but pressuring Nelson like Nebraska blitzed Bellomy would be the Boliermaker's undoing.
Minnesota's patchwork offensive line held up. Purdue predictably played tight on the receivers and the Gophers got free on double-moves, in particular, the slant and go for open looks. Nelson wasn't afraid to put it up and he hit his receivers in stride even when he didn't have to.
"We bit on a post-corner and they made a huge play out of it, said Purdue Head coach Danny Hope. "Next thing you know, we were far behind."
By halftime Minnesota was up 34-7 and Nelson was 15-17 for 246 yards. Gopher cornerback Michael Carter's (Sr. #6) interception for a touchdown in the opening minute of the 2nd half allowed the Gophers to take it easy the rest of the way. Carter's pick-six was the first for Minnesota since 2008.
Gophers head coach Jerry Kill acknowledged after the game it was the best they played all year.
The Minnesota Offense vs. Michigan's Defense
There's some hesitancy into hyping a freshman quarterback, who Minnesota planned to redshirt and talk about him as a threat to the Michigan defense. However, if you didn't know anything about Nelson, prior to watching his game last weekend, you'd think Minnesota and Purdue switched jerseys and that Nelson was an upperclassman and not a true freshman.
Nelson had very few easy throws, but he hit receivers in stride in tight coverage. Nelson put it in places that wouldn't get him intercepted, and he stood in the pocket releasing the ball and taking a hit. He made it look easy. I haven't seen a single Penn State game this season with Matt McGloin, but in just the one game alone, Nelson looked as good as any pro-style quarterback in the Big Ten (notice the qualifiers).
Nelson is also rushing 52 yards per game and is a threat to run with it.
"He'll take off and run as much as anybody," says Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison. "I think they really like him and I can see why. He's a spark. He's a real spark to their offense and looks to me like he's a tough kid and a good football player."
The offensive line has a different starting line-up since week three. Only the right tackle has played every game, but the rest of the line has been juggled. One player, Zac Eppling (So. #52) has started two games at right guard, two at left guard and four at center. The left guard and center positions have seen three different starters and only two players are expected to play Saturday that started in the season opener.
Michigan's defensive line has done as well as fans have expected, but not the coaches. The staff again this week, pointed out that Michigan's sack totals are 11th in the conference and that only five have come from the line.
Barker, the team's leading receiver may not play in this game. He had 135 yards and two touchdowns on five catches. Barker is fourth in the Big Ten with 577 yards. He has three 100 yard receiving games this weekend, so it's important for them to have him out there. Barker is expected to test his injured ankle for the first time on Friday.
Gray will be the top threat if Barker can't play. Anything you can say about Devin Gardner (Jr. #12) can be said about Gray except Gray had experience playing receiver as a sophomore. So he can leap and he can run and looks gifted doing it. After two games at receiver he has eight catches for 89 yards.
MarQueis Gray
Leading rusher Donnell Kirkwood (So. #20) is averaging 76 yards per game but his carries could increase now that Gray, a rushing threat is exclusively at receiver.
Realistically, this is a battle Michigan should win. The defense should be able to hold the new look Gophers under 20 points. Yes, the linebackers are the Wolverines strongest position group right now and the D-Line should win the battle in the trenches. The secondary will have learned from the Purdue tape what not to do, but Michigan fans shouldn't take for granted that Minnesota's offense will be totally shutdown. The Wolverines are #1 in pass defense (145 ypg), yet Michigan State had some opportunities for some plays deep, but they couldn't connect. Minnesota somehow ranks 2nd in the Big Ten in passing efficiency (143).
"I think it's the toughest defense we've seen to this point in time," Coach Kill said. That's not to disrespect anybody. It's just the truth."
The Minnesota Defense vs. the Michigan Offense
Minnesota won't be giving up 58 points this year against the Wolverines like they did in Ann Arbor a year ago. Purdue and Illinois can keep Indiana company as defensive sieves in the conference. Most defensive stats have Minnesota in the middle of the conference. The defense has improved by 11 pts per game compared to the first eight games last year.
It's ironic because Minnesota's two best defensive players from last year exhausted their eligibility. (*On a sad note, one of them, linebacker Gary Tinsley died this past year, and it would be insensitive not to mention that if I'm going to mention what is lost from 2011). The Gophers had to replace both their defensive tackles and last year had a conference low four interceptions. This year they've already doubled that with eight.
Wells has eight pass break-ups. Carter had six pass breakups last week tying the school record. The team has 40 passes defended. Michigan has just 14 as a comparison.
The Wolverines are 1st in pass defense, but the Gophers are #2 at (160 ypg), but that's primarily due to teams running on them. Minnesota yields 178 ypg, 10th in the conference.
Ra'Shede Haggeman (Jr. #99) has four sacks to go along with Wilhite's 6.5.
There have been only five missed starts on defense this year, but injuries may be evening things out. Two defensive starters, Wilhite and Wells are questionable while Rallis will play but won't be 100%.
Michigan has its own issues on offense. You have to expect that Michigan will score touchdowns again, but many will be holding their breath every time Denard Robinson (Sr. #16) carries the football, gets tackled or even when he falls down. Without him, the Wolverines will have difficulties scoring touchdowns let alone getting first downs. This isn't based entirely on the Nebraska game. The Wolverines have had difficulties moving the ball when Robinson had to take some series off in other games this year.
While the team is finding out whether Gardner can become the #2 or #3 QB by taking the majority of the reps this week in practice, he's missing time and reps at receiver. It's necessary compromise in order to be prepared in case Denard were to go down again. Offensive coordinator Al Borges is preparing for anything.
"Denard's going to play, but again you don't know because of the injury, so we kind of have to prepare for any eventuality and we're going to kind of compete for the backup if you will and see how that goes and go from there."
Whoever would have to step-in at quarterback will need some cooperation from his receivers and the running game. Coaches this week have spoken about needing to run better, to stop dropping passes and improve in the red zone.
It's not "now or never" but it's been eight games and the Wolverines are looking for someone else to contribute significantly to the offense. Doing so by committee isn't horrible, but Michigan's offense was at its best in 2011 when Fitzgerald Toussaint (Jr. #28) emerged in the 2nd half of the season.
Special Teams
There's a reason Stoudermire is about to set the NCAA record for kickoff return yardage. It sort of an indicator how good your defense is.ENJOY THE GAME! THANKS FOR READING!!

Moore School announces Page Prize winners
Contact: Peggy Binette 803-777-5400 firstname.lastname@example.com
Faculty from UCLA and Cornell University have been awarded top honors in the 2010 Dr Alfred N. and Lynn Manos Page Prize for Sustainability Issues in Business Curricula, an annual competition by the Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina that recognizes innovation in teaching sustainability.
Honorable mentions in this year's competition went to the University of Oregon and the University of Victoria.
The Moore School created the competition in 2008 as part of its Sustainable Enterprise and Development Initiative, which cultivates an understanding of sustainable enterprise through the natural environment, governance and ethics and the exchange between firms and their counterparts in governments and civil society.
The Page Prize promotes the introduction and improvement of sustainability courses and associated coursework into the curriculum of business schools in the U.S. and abroad.
"At the Moore School we want to expose our business students to the best thinking and practices in the area of sustainability," said Dr. Andrew Spicer, associate professor of international business and director of the Moore School's Sustainable Enterprise and Development Initiative. "The database allows the Moore School to share these best practices for sustainability teaching and curricular materials with institutions of higher learning worldwide."
This year's competition featured more than 30 entries that represented disciplines including accounting, entrepreneurship, finance, international business, management, marketing, operations and supply chain management and organizational behavior.
The winning submissions are part of a growing database of winning course descriptions and curricula for business faculty around the world to use. More than 20 courses are featured on the database, which is accessible on the Moore School website at www.mooreschool.sc.edu and through Moore School's partner page on the Aspen Institute's website www.caseplace.org
In June, the Page Prize will be featured at the Global Business School Network conference in Mexico City and at a Sustainability Conference in Charlotte, N.C., organized by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

Tornados take on Erskine at Time Warner Cable ArenaNovember 30, 2009
Bobcats - Celtics play after the NCAA Division II contest
Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados men's basketball team returns to Time Warner Cable Arena this season on Tuesday, December 1st, as Brevard will host Erskine College in the home of the Charlotte Bobcats at 2:30 p.m. This will be the first time the Tornados have hosted a game at an NBA arena, having been the visiting team last season to Belmont Abbey on November 29th.

There are special rules you should know about for small claims judgments.
During this time, the debtor can:
To pay the judgment to the court, the debtor must pay:
The court (not the debtor) will let you know that that the judgment has been paid and tell you to:
It is very important that the court has your current mailing address at all times. If within 3 years the court is unable to reach you to tell you that it is holding payment of your judgment, the money becomes the property of the court. If you have questions about this payment, be sure to tell the court the case name, case number, and date of entry of judgment.
A debtor does not appeal or file a motion to vacate (cancel) the judgment (and that does not voluntarily pay the judgment) must fill out a Judgment Debtor's Statement of Assets (Form SC-133) and send it to you. In many counties the court clerk will mail a Form SC-133 to the debtor with the original judgment.
Unfortunately, many debtors do not fill out and deliver the Form SC-133. If the debtor does not complete and send you this form (and he or she has not paid or appealed the judgment or asked for a payment plan), you can ask the court for sanctions against the debtor.
If you do not receive a Form SC-133 and need information about the debtor's assets to collect your judgment, you will have to do a debtor's examination. Read Get Information About the Debtor's Assets to learn more about debtor's examinations.
You then have 10 days to tell the court that:
You can give the court this information and your reasons for your response using a Response to Request to Make Payments (Form SC-221) or in a letter or Declaration (Form MC-030). If you do not respond within 10 days, the court may assume that you accept the proposed payment schedule and will grant the debtor's request. If you do not accept the proposed payment schedule, the court will probably hold a hearing to discuss the request and your opposition.
This payment plan option affects the interest on the judgment as it may stop all interest from accruing until the judgment is paid off or the debtor fails to keep up with the payments. So if you have questions about how a payment plan can affect you, talk to a lawyer or the small claims advisor. Click for help finding a lawyer.
Note: If the debtor already got the court's permission to pay you in installments (through a payment plan) and he or she has stopped paying you (or never paid you), you can ask the court to cancel the payment plan and make the full balance due right away. Click to find out how to ask to cancel the payment plan so you can collect the full balance.

What You Need to Know About Marijuana in Colorado
Colorado makes history on New Year's Day as the first state to allow the sale of marijuana for recreational use. However, there are a few things you should know when it comes to being able to use marijuana in Colorado.
How Did This Happen?
Voters approved Amendment 64 in 2012, which required the state of Colorado to regulate marijuana like alcohol.
The U.S. Attorney General's office indicated that it would only interfere with legalized marijuana if the state businesses failed to keep it away from organized crime and kids.
How Much Can I Buy?
You can go to a liquor store and buy case after case of your favorite beer, but this is not the case for marijuana.
Colorado residents 21 and up can buy one ounce of weed. Out-of-state visitors can purchase only a quarter ounce. Retail marijuana shops will only accept cash. Credit/debit cards may NOT be used to purchase marijuana.
I Live in Wyoming. Can I Buy Retail Marijuana?
Yes. However, you are limited to buying only a 1/4 ounce. You may NOT take your purchase across the state border.
Where Can I Buy Marijuana?
Most medical marijuana dispenseries are NOT licensed to sell recreational marijuana.
In Northern Colorado, the cities and towns of Loveland, Berthoud, Estes Park, Wellington, Windsor, Johnstown and Timnath will NOT allow stores to open in city limits. Fort Collins voters allowed retail marijuana stores to open in the city, however, there is a temporary ban on the establishments that is set to expire in March.
There are two shops in Larimer County that will open in the first quarter of 2014. Larimer County has banned to sale of consumables (cookies, etc.) for retail marijuana businesses. Medical marijuana dispensaries are allowed to sell consumables.
In Denver, over 30 business licenses for retail marijuana businesses were issued; many of these shops will open on Wednesday, January 1. For a listing, visit the Denver Business Licensing Center at denvergov.org.
Where Can I Consume Marijuana?
It is ILLEGAL to consume marijuana in public. That means you can't partake in marijuana in a park, downtown or any other place. Use is only legal in certain locations not open or accessible to the public. Marijuana may not be consumed openly or publicly.
If you rent a home, your landlord may have stipulations that don't allow you to consume marijuana in your rental property.
Can I Have Marijuna in My Car?
Yes. Marijuana may be carried in cars but it may not be in an open container and cannot cross state boundaries. It is illegal to use or consume marijuana in a motor vehicle and it is illegal to drive under the influence of marijuana.
Are There Laws About Driving "Stoned?"
Yes. It is illegal to drive under the influence of marijuana and it can result in a DUI, just like alcohol. According to CRS 42-4-1301, anyone with 5 nanograms or more of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) per milliliter in whole blood while driving can be arrested for DUI.
How Does This Law Affect Drug-Free Workplace Rules?
While recreational marijuana is legal in Colorado, your employer is still allowed to regulate or prohibit the use, consumption, possession, transfer, display, transportation, sale or growing of marijuana in the workplace. Employers may also enact policies restricting the use of marijuana by employees.
It is best to contact your employer or HR representative about marijuana use and your job.
What About Medicinal Marijuana?
Medical marijuana requires a state red card, which can only be obtained by Colorado residents with a recommendation from a doctor that a patient suffers from a debilitating medical condition that may benefit from medical marijuana.
Medical marijuana patients can obtain marijuana from a licensed center, a primary care giver or self grow. For more information about medical marijuana, please visit the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment website at colorado.gov.
What Else Should I Know About Recreational Marijuana Laws in Colorado?
- Just like alcohol, it is illegal to give marijuana purchases to a minor under the age of 21.
- You may NOT take it out of state. This includes taking a flight from DIA.
- Sharing your marijuana is allowed, BUT it has to be less than an ounce, and no money may exchange hands.

VaricoceleVaricose veins - scrotum
A varicocele is a widening of the veins along the cord that holds up a man's testicles (spermatic cord).
A varicocele forms when valves inside the veins along the spermatic cord prevent blood from flowing properly. This causes the blood to back up, leading to swelling and widening of the veins. (This is essentially the same process that leads to varicose veins, which are common in the legs.)
Varicoceles usually develop slowly. They are more common in men ages 15 - 25 and are most often seen on the left side of the scrotum.
The sudden appearance of a varicocele in an older man may be caused by a kidney tumor, which can block blood flow to a vein. This is more common on the left side than the right.
- Enlarged, twisted veins in the scrotum
- Painless testicle lump, scrotal swelling, or bulge in the scrotum
There may not be symptoms.
Exams and Tests
The health care provider will examine the groin area, including the scrotum and testicles. The health care provider may feel a twisted growth along the spermatic cord. (It feels like a bag of worms.)
However, the growth may not be able to be seen or felt, especially when you are lying down.
The testicle on the side of the varicocele may be smaller than the one on the other side.
A jock strap (scrotal support) or snug underwear may help relieve the pain or discomfort. If pain continues or other symptoms occur, you may need further treatment.
Surgery to correct a varicocele is called varicocelectomy. You will leave the hospital on the same day as your surgery. During this procedure, you will receive some type of numbing medication (anesthesia). The urologist will make a cut, usually in the lower abdomen, and tie off the abnormal veins. Blood will now flow around the area into normal veins. Keep an ice pack on the area for the first 24 hours after surgery to reduce swelling.
An alternative to surgery is varicocele embolization. This method is also done without an overnight hospital stay. It uses a much smaller cut than surgery, so you will heal faster. A small hollow tube called a catheter (tube) is placed into a vein in your groin or neck area.
Using x-rays as a guide, the health care provider moves the tube into the varicocele. A tiny coil passes through the tube into the varicocele. The coil blocks blood flow to the bad vein, and sends it to normal veins.
After the procedure, you will be told to place ice on the area and wear a scrotal support for a little while.
Outlook (Prognosis)
A varicocele is usually harmless and often does not need to be treated.
If you have surgery, your sperm count will likely increase but it will not improve your chances of getting a woman pregnant. In most cases, testicular wasting (atrophy) does not improve unless surgery is done early in adolescence.
Possible Complications
Infertility is a complication of varicocele.
Complications from treatment may include:
- Atrophic testis
- Blood clot formation
- Infection
- Injury to the scrotum or nearby blood vessel
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you discover a testicle lump or need to treat a diagnosed varicocele.

'The Fappening' and Revenge Porn Culture: Jennifer Lawrence and the Creepshot Epidemic
Listen to TMZ Report on iHeartRadio
To call it a "scandal" when yet another celebrity has private nude photos hacked and released is deeply misleading. "Scandal" suggests surprise and/or moral malfeasance. But is anyone actually surprised that famous women are naked under their clothes, or that celebrities use their smartphones for the same private photo purposes that everyone else uses their phones for? And if you think it's somehow scandalous for grown adults to engage in consensual sexual activity, that says far more about you and your prudishness than it does about them. No, the only people we should be scandalized by are the people responsible for the recent theft and then release of private nude photos from celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton.
What do we know so far about this massive dump of photographs of various nude celebrities into the public spaces online? Gawker has been on the case and has revealed that they were likely stolen in bits and pieces by a collection of hackers that spend an inordinate amount of their free time trying to steal just such pictures. These hackers, likely mostly or all men, have a semi-private group that exists just to trade stolen photos and, of course, brag about getting the biggest "score" in terms of the fame of the person whose privacy they've violated. Interestingly, there's no indication whatsoever that the men involved in this group had any intention of publicizing the pictures far and wide. Just impressing each other with their photo thefts appears to be reward enough for them. But, of course, it only took one leaker for these photos to be shared around the world.
With this in mind, it's unlikely that the hacker—or hackers—are actually seeking fame or even necessarily money by engaging in this practice. (Which would likely expose them to civil lawsuits or criminal penalties anyway.) Instead, this violation gives us a peek into a sick but thriving subculture, or really series of subcultures, of men who are excited by the idea of violating a woman against her will and who get together in online spaces to swap ideas on how to do this, tell bragging stories about violating women, and sharing the photographic evidence of their violations. They're doing this not for fame or fortune, but because they loathe women and want to use sex and sexuality to hurt and punish women, often just for existing.
PHOTOS: Alleged List of Celebs That Had Their Photos Stolen
David Futrelle, who chronicles the alarming spread of misogyny online at his blog We Hunted The Mammoth, wrote about the whole photo dump debacle on Monday. If just seeing sexy pictures is what you want, he points out, you have "the mind-bogglingly enormous selection of women out there who have agreed to pose naked, or even perform explicit sex acts, on camera." Indeed, your average celebrity nude selfie is downright tame compared to any random pornographic picture you can find online. In fact, there are plenty of already-famous women who have their nude images out there, if fame is your thing. So it is "not the celebrity of the women in question" motivating the theft of these photos, "but from the violation of privacy that these pictures represent."
Indeed, we know this because while the attacks on celebrity women grab the headlines, the vast majority of victims of non-consensual nude picture-sharing—usually called "revenge porn"—are ordinary, non-famous women. The use of technology to punish women for relationship fouls, real or perceived, has reached epidemic levels. McAfee's 2013 Love, Relationships, and Technology survey revealed that a whopping 1 in 10 ex-partners have threatened to expose naked photos of their ex online. A full 60 percent of them carry out the threat. While there's no doubt that some women have done this to men, by and large this is a problem of men trying to hurt women, usually for breaking up with them. Often, women's names and personal information is shared along with the nude photos, to better encourage random and scary misogynists out there to stalk and threaten them.

1) As a malicious user you could simply remove this tag via a personal proxy, adblock rule, etc.
2) Couldn't you use javascript to load the page/object in a frame and strip this tag out? I'm sure javascript has the ability to request/filter content. (I'm thinking XMLHttpRequest, etc)

2010 Chevrolet Malibu Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2010 Chevrolet Malibu based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The ignition switch may fail causing a no start condition. This is not generally a theft system (passlock) issue because the security light does not illuminate or flash.
The front struts may show signs of wear, or be excessively bouncy ride at freeway speeds. This may begin to occur at around 75,000 miles.
Illumination of the Check Engine Light can be caused by a loose or worn gas cap.
Various issues with the electric power steering system may develop and could require replacement of steering column assembly.
The fuel gauge may not read correctly and/or the Check Engine Light may illuminate with code P0455/P0461 stored for a fuel level sensor issue. These faults may be caused by a fuel vapor line inside the fuel take interfering with the fuel level sensor. If this is found to be the case, repositioned and securing the vapor line should correct this concern. If no fault is found with the fuel vapor line, the fuel level sensor itself may be at fault.
The ignition module or an ignition coil may fail causing the engine to misfire which can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate or begin flashing.
Vehicles with certain V6 engines may illuminate the Check Engine Light one or more of the following codes: P0011, P0014, P0021, P0024, P0341, P0346, P0336, or P0391. Our technicians tell us that some vehicles may require a powertrain control module (PCM) software update to correct this issue. Other vehicles may have excess camshaft end play on one or both cylinder heads which will need to be corrected using special procedures outlined by GM.
The heater core under the right side of the dashboard may leak engine coolant which can puddle on the passenger front floor. The loss of coolant may cause an engine overheating condition. Our technicians tell us that removal of the dash board is necessary to replace the heater on these vehicles.
GM recommends replacing the engine coolant at 100,000 miles; however, our technicians tell us that the coolant may become contaminated and require a complete cooling system flush every 60,000 to 70,000 miles.
Acid may leak from the battery at the cable connections, resulting in corrosion on the battery cable ends and in the battery tray. A Leaking battery should be replaced and the cables thoroughly cleaned or replaced if necessary.
The 2004-2010 Chevrolet Malibu has known issues with the EVAP system, a part of your emission control system.
The EVAP canister vent valve or valve solenoid wiring may fail causing illumination of the check engine light, setting code P0446, and problems filling the tank with fuel.
To correct the issue, the EVAP canister vent valve, solenoid, and wiring must be inspected. The most common fix is replacement of the wiring connector or replacement of the vent valve assembly.
Brake fluid can become dirty and may cause problems in the brake system; it should be flushed every 60,000 miles.
The passlock sensor in the ignition lock cylinder may fail causing an anti-theft system fault and a no start condition. Our technicians tell us that the ignition lock cylinder should be replace to correct this condition.
The instrument panel and switch backlighting may fail due to a faulty dimmer control module. A failed module will require replacement.

date: 12 May 2008
embargo: None
The TUC has researched and published a comprehensive review of trade unions' equality structures and activities. The book, entitled 'Treading Water', will be launched at a reception to be held 14 May, in central London. The review is the eighth survey of equality in trade unions conducted by SERTUC, which is the TUC region responsible for London, the South East and the East of England.
Megan Dobney, SERTUC Regional Secretary will say:
'The principle of 'equality for all' is the foundation of trade unionism. Sadly, discrimination against people because of their gender, race, age, sexual orientation, belief and physical attributes is still commonplace, and it is both very offensive and hugely damaging to the welfare of individuals, and the communities in which we live and work.
'So it is essential that trade unions are at the leading edge of campaigns for positive reform, that they we are seen to be exemplars for best practice and that we are widely regarded as being effective advocates for people at work who are seeking to secure their equal rights.
'Treading Water, which has gathered information and case studies from unions that represent more than ninety-four percent of trade union members in the region, is much more than a snapshot of where we are. Every trade union rep or activist can use it as an 'equalities sat nav' to guide their next step or as a resource that describes ideas for positive action. Or reps can use it to assure themselves that they are not struggling alone, they have colleagues fighting similar battles from whom they can draw strength, inspiration or a little helpful advice.'
The research for the review, and its publication, were supported the European Social Fund, Equal Project.
'Treading Water' is available free from SERTUC. Please contact 020 7467 1292 or email [email protected] for a copy. The publication is supported by the European Social Fund.
The reception will be held at Congress House, Great Russell Street, London WC1B 3LS, commencing at 6pm. All trade unionists are welcome to attend. Journalists are welcome to attend but please inform Darren Lewis 020 7467 1220 or [email protected]

Plain English campaign news articles
Large degree of small-print difficulty
- Details
- Created on Monday, 16 November 2015 13:23
Research by consumer group Fairer Finance has found that a third of insurance policy small print is only understandable to degree holders.
The research suggests that none of the 280 documents tested could be understood by anyone with a reading age of 11. An estimated 16% of UK adults have a reading age of 11 or less.
Fairer Finance's report goes on to say that failing to understand financial jargon costs UK consumers £21bn in a year – £428 for every adult.

Unreadable academic writing
- Details
- Created on Monday, 28 September 2015 15:24
We've recently received a number of emails and tweets about really poor academic writing. There are few meaningful excuses for the kind of writing in question, but several likely reasons behind it.
So why is academic writing often so unreadable? As our university students return for another year, here are a few suggestions.
Firstly, it's down to laziness. Trying to make incomprehensible waffle read simply would take too much time. In other words – in academic circles, writing is unclear because it can be. Who is going to point out that it reads badly if it sounds clever? So bad habits continue, and academic writing continues to be full of 'placeholder' terminology. In other words, academic writers lean on the same old jargon rather than write something difficult and genuinely insightful.

Rhode Island
Aug 28, 2011
Hurricane Irene greeted Rhode Island with 77 mph winds and a stiff rain, halting all flights at T.F. Green. Half of Rhode Island was without power. Fearing flooding, several colleges delayed move-in dates for students and urged them to stay off campus. If not for Providence's decision to lower the Fox Point hurricane barrier, the damage could have been much worse.

Wingate, N.C. - Micheala Watkins capped off the Tornados 2011-2012 season with 16 points and added two steals, while Lindsay Brendle and Anna Schlobohm were also in double-digits for Brevard in their final collegiate game, but Wingate pulled away from Brevard late in Cuddy Arena to top the Tornados, 58-50.
Wingate (19-7, 13-5 SAC) clinched the top seed in the Food Lion South Atlantic Conference tournament, riding a 12 point halftime lead in completing the season sweep over Brevard (6-20, 1-17 SAC) behind double-digit performances by Kurie Washington and Janisha Williams.
Watkins led Brevard with 16 points as the Tornados shot 34.0 percent (17-50) from the floor in the contest. Brendle added 13 points and three rebounds, while Schlobohm narrowly missed on the double-double with 12 points and nine rebounds in her final collegiate action. Holli Flippo added seven rebounds, five offensive to complete her collegiate career on top of the BC career record books with 204 offensive rebounds.
Washington and Williams both had 14 points for the Bulldogs, with Washington doing the majority of her damage from the free throw line hitting 11-of-12 attempts as Wingate overcame a 25.0 percent (15-60) shooting performance from the floor in connecting on 23-of-29 free throw attempts (79.3 percent). Nikki Burton added eight points and eight rebounds, filling the stat sheet with four assists and three steals as the Bulldogs down the Tornados for the second time in the season.
Wingate jumped out of the gates in control of the contest, as Burton opened the game with a jumper as the Bulldogs built a 27-9 lead with 4:04 remaining in the first half. The Tornados closed out the period on a 12-6 run, cutting the Wingate lead down to 12 at 33-21 as Schlobohm connected on a three-pointer with 10 ticks remaining in the clock as the Bulldogs went into the break holding the 33-21 lead.
Brevard cut the lead to within single digits as the Tornados scored seven of the first nine points of the half as Watkins cut the lead down to within seven with 15:27 remaining on the clock, draining a free throw to put the score at 35-28. After Williams went in for the layup, Watkins answered with a jumper and a three-pointer to bring Brevard within four points at 37-33 with 12:13 left in the contest.
Wingate answered with a 10-0 run to increase the lead back to 14 on a pair of Washington free throws at the 8:02 mark. The Tornados continued to battle back in the contest, cutting the lead down to six on a pair of free throws by Watkins at 49-43 with 2:17 remaining, but Wingate connected on six consecutive free throws spanning the next 90 seconds to pull away in recording the 58-50 victory.

Bassett 58DF475WS 15X8 D-Hole 5on4.5 4.75 In BS Wissota Silver Wheel
Click image to enlarge
Please note the following about this product:
- Ground Shipping Only - Can't Ship Air.
Reviews (0)
What's in the Box
Bassett's Wissota-approved 15 x 8 D-Hole style wheel features the same high quality spun-form shell as the Inertia Advantage wheel, but at a more economical price.
- Lightweight, yet strong enough for 3500 lb. stock cars
- Beaded shell prevents tires from rolling off and adds durability to the wheel
- Spun-form shell provides the lowest runout on market (under .030") for better handling
- Valve stem located behind center in window
The following must be considered when using Bassett wheels for on highway / street use applications when the wheel/tire assembly is being balanced. Bassett Wheels are lug centric, which means they are built off of and must be balanced using the bolt circle and NOT the wheel center hole. Improper use of a tire balancer that centers the wheel on the hub bore, not the bolt circle will result in an incorrect reading for rim runout, as the center hole is not in the perfect center of the bolt pattern. The only machine capable of performing a lug centric balance is the Hunter GSP 9700 with the flange plate bolt circle adapter and no centering cone.

9/11 "Truthers" to Tone Protests Down, for a Day
By Corey Kilgannon
"No bullhorning during the memorial."
That's always been the rule of thumb among "truther" demonstrators at ground zero on Sept. 11, out of respect for relatives of victims of the terror attack, said Mike Skuthan, 32, a Web designer from Long Island who attends the demonstrations every year.
But after this Sunday's memorial, Mr. Skuthan said, the bullhorns and signs will again be brought out and the groups will walk from one location to another in Manhattan chanting their message and engaging passers-by to help them call for a new investigation into the attacks.
"You have the usual chants -- '9-11 Truth Ends Wars,' or 'Two planes, three buildings,' " Mr. Skuthan said. "The popular one this year will probably be, 'Ten years, no justice.' "
Members of the so-called 9-11 Truth movement range from extreme conspiracy theorists who believe that the Bush administration engineered the attacks to consolidate power, roll back civil liberties and help oil mogul friends. But then there are more moderate factions that simply insist that top government officials know more about the attacks than they have acknowledged, and then used then used the attacks as a pretext for invading Iraq. A large percentage of activists outline -- often in great detail -- what they call inconsistencies in government explanations of the attacks, which many call a governmental cover-up.
There are scores of somber memorial events on Sunday commemorating the 10th anniversary of the 2001 attacks -- poignant prayer services, candlelight vigils and, of course, the official commemoration at ground zero.
But for conspiracy theorists, the day's poignancy is mixed with a renewed urgency to their demand for answers, and to dispute official explanations of the attacks. The slew of events leading up to Sunday include screenings of sept. 11-conspiracy films, and widespread "street action" protests. There are discussions by the leading proponents of so-called 9/11-truth theories, and even a spiritual service led by religious leaders who believe the public has not been told the whole truth about the attacks.
Because this is the 10th anniversary, and it falls on a weekend, "truthers'' are hoping to get their highest turnout ever for demonstrations, said Mr. Skuthan, who pitched in this year by making a popular Web site for "truther" events this weekend, including the locations of numerous "street actions."
The demonstrations may be more subdued this year, said Luke Rudkowski, 25, a journalist from Brooklyn.
Mr. Rudkowski is no shrinking violet. Armed with a video camera and a YouTube account, he has confronted the likes of Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.; Larry A. Silverstein, the leaseholder on the Trade Center; and Thomas H. Kean, a former governor of New Jersey who was chairman of the federal Sept. 11 commission.
In 2009, Mr. Rudkowski was arrested while attempting to question Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg about the lack of health care for emergency responders.
But when Mr. Rudkowski gathers with other activists at ground zero on Sunday morning near the official, private memorial service, he says, he will be in nonconfrontational mode.
Other activists agreed that Sunday calls for a subdued approach.
"We are not going to be talking about the politics of what our organization believes," said the Rev. Ian Alterman, an evangelical minister from Manhattan and a member of Religious Leaders for 9/11 Truth, which is holding a special memorial service on Saturday at Judson Memorial Church in Greenwich Village. Mr. Alterman said his group believed that there were still many unanswered questions about the attacks, and contradictory facts -- and that spiritual leaders were doing "a disservice to those who died if they do not do as almost every faith traditions instructs, and seek the truth."
The service on Saturday will include prayer, song and sermons, and would include relatives of victims -- but it will not include politics or speeches.
"It's a respectful memorial event, about solace," Mr. Alterman said. "No matter what side of the politics you're on, all of us have feelings of grief, and seek closure. I've asked attendees who are more politically minded not to interfere. I told them, 'Talk to me on the 12th, not on 11th. We're focusing on people here, not politics.' "
Among the listings on groundzero2011.com is a "Forgotten Heroes" memorial service on Sunday near World Trade Center Building 7, a controversial building to many in the Sept. 11 truth movement because of questions over how and why it collapsed, in a rapid free-fall several hours after planes struck the twin towers.
That service is dedicated to emergency responders who died from ailments incurred during rescue and cleanup at ground zero after the attacks.
The groundzero2011.com site offers full services for people traveling to New York City to participate in events. Aside from a ground zero vigil on Sunday morning, there are listings for numerous "street actions" around the city, including ones near the Federal Reserve, City Hall, the Stock Exchange, Federal Hall and Police Plaza.
Richard Gage, an architect from California and the founder of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, will speak at several events on Sunday. Mr. Gage's group includes architectural and engineering professionals who believe that the World Trade Center may have collapsed because of explosives planted in the buildings, and are calling for a new investigation.
Mr. Gage said that as the 10-year commemoration approaches, "The media has its attention back on 9/11."
"So it's an important time to be disseminating the information and exposing the evidence," he added. "This anniversary gives us a unique opportunity to be seen and heard."

Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
And if you did it will prove all your haters wrong and that you were serious from the start
Twitter @ricbrad
Am just off to do a bit beach yoga with Rickson down Crosby Marina, then doin a private with Kimura workin on his throws-I love a challenge an his bein dead for about 20 years only adds to it. Just registered me hands there with NATO too
And Partridge Im going on holiday to America which I deserve and worked very hard for so whats the big deal that im going to the gym there so why bitch at me when 90% of the forum would more then likely do the same thing if they was close to the diaz gym. Its a holiday which has been planned for a while there is another gym I could of gone too which would of been very easy to sort out as a close friend trains there but thats not what I want I want to go as a fan and experience the same gym my idols have. On a brighter note work was quiet no trouble.
partridge All I have ever claimed is im a low level fighter wanting to hopefully make my pro debut of course there are things I left out as the way some of you went on made me think why the fuck should I even bother been serious and write a blog just for you to troll. Iv been training much longer then 2 months I had a year out due to a family death as needed to get my own place and settle down etc. Those who know me think my blog is pretty funny and take a lot of it in jest and sarcasm. I posted this in the low level section of the forum which is where it belongs until I do compete under pro rules. Just makes me laugh how even when I do post serious stuff like my booked holiday to America you all still try your very best to poke fun at me well I have news for you As a amateur im currently 3 1 and semi pro im 1 0 not against anybody worth bragging about but it is what it is so I have every right to try compete at a higher level and the reason I don't post info like this is I like to wind you all up as your just out to try do the same to me. The reason we are going to Cali is its a destination we have both wanted to go since we was kids and my friend who is now a successful property developer has given us both the opportunity to fulfil that dream. And yes im going to try get a few classes and a few photos at Caesar Gracie and maybe even another gym depending on distance. If you wanna poke fun at anybody and tell them to walk there dogs why not start with somebody like Andy Cona just a example who acts like he is amazing on facebook saying he will fight anybody.
So just to clear a few things up Im under 21 I have trained in mixed martial arts for over 3 years before that judo which I gained a black belt above standard black but that probably means nothing to you. And I am extremely lucky to be at a lovely gym where Without my team mates I would be nothing, I have attended some great seminars over the years my favourite been Paul Daily as I just loved the guys attitude seemed a top top bloke Iv also attended 2 royce gracie seminars and was lucky enough to have a extra 2 hours the next day where 5 of us got to learn and drill a number of techniques I took a awful lot away from that maybe only small things but small things that matter and made a huge difference in my game I was only around 16 at the time and had not even begun training seriously I was just a 2 nights a week guy. He is a funny guy but eats like a horse afterwards we all went to a all you can eat buffet and I think he put away more then the 5 of us combined all that was thanks to a very kind local instructor who knew him fairly well. A guy I would love to meet who I missed last time around and was gutted is Eddie Bravo I think the guy is a real inspiration to anyone dreaming of maybe one day opening there own school in any form of martial arts plus from what I see and read he looks a really kool guy to be around.
The thing I think you have missed is im a fan first competitor second and that will always be the case unless by sheer fluke luck or ambition I manage to carve out a place for myself in pro mixed martial arts but there are much more talented guys then me tried and failed so just looking to enjoy my path and as long as I have fun and keep making friends im happy. Im the type of guy to hang with the cool guys who like to chill have a joke and know how to treat each other I avoid like the plague those in mma whom have a hard man image and are feared outside of the sport for the wrong reasons.
There we go hope that quenched your thirst to troll fire away as I must now get some sleep.

Why even bother running your over 30 and your a very big lad plenty of easier ways on your body then treading the pavement one of which is getting on a bike or if worse comes to worse a long walk followed by do it yourself circuits in your home doing a number of exercises for say between 20 -40 minutes. Maybe try running again as your energy levels come back just a thought.
