Oakland, CA: Top Things to Know About Storage
Mediterranean Climate
California is nationally recognized, and envied, for its year round, beautiful weather. ?Oakland has a Mediterranean climate, which means hot and dry summers and cool and wet winters. ?The city sees an average of 260 sunny days per year and is ranked number one in climate among U.S. cities. ?Its location gives it the
Mediterranean Climate
California is nationally recognized, and envied, for its year round, beautiful weather. ?Oakland has a Mediterranean climate, which means hot and dry summers and cool and wet winters. ?The city sees an average of 260 sunny days per year and is ranked number one in climate among U.S. cities. ?Its location gives it the perfect balance because it's warmer than San Francisco but cooler than San Jose. ?Fog is also common in the area and can affect traffic conditions, but it fades away pretty quickly. ?Weather wise, Oakland seems to be perfect, and not many of its weather conditions can affect storage. ?However, there is a downside to the weather.
In the summer, high temperatures can go up to 104 degrees and the winter low gets down to 24 degrees. ?Given the huge differences in weather, we would recommend that you always store your belongings in climate controlled units so there's never a danger of something melting, molding, or freezing.
Devilish Winds and the Sea
There's also a small caveat that comes with Oakland's beautiful weather: ?Diablo winds. ?These dry and warm offshore winds occur in the fall and raise the danger of fire. ?Fire has previously spread and consumed many homes in the area, so you want to be careful about where you choose your storage facility. ?Even if you choose a facility that's not in an area susceptible to these fires, you should still be weary of cleanliness issues within your storage unit. ?Your things should be protected by the ash from the fires, but there's a chance that debris can slip in so you should check what cleanliness measures the storage facility you choose to store at takes. ?Some facilities are very strict about cleanliness and have scheduled cleanings of their sites, which is helpful in cities like Oakland. ?When you're looking for a facility, ask facility managers about how previous fires have affected their tenants.
Our last piece of advice is to store more inland and away from the ocean if you're storing things like RVs and electronics. ?If you're storing near the ocean, there's a high chance that metal objects will become rusty because of the high salt content of the ocean's air. ?You're putting your things in storage to protect them, so don't put them in a unit that will make them more susceptible to unavoidable damage.
Wine Tasting and Storage
As a resident of Oakland, wine tasting trips to Napa Valley are probably pretty common for you. ?Napa Valley has more than 400 wineries, and a lot of them are world-acclaimed. ?Wine connoisseurs from all over the world visit the area, and so do people who just want to have a relaxing weekend that entails sipping wine and eating cheese.
Wine tasting is a year round activity, so wineries have to be stocked up throughout the year. ?Napa does have its own wine cellars, but they also store their wine in nearby storage facilities that specialize in wine storage. ?Because of the weather and proximity to the ocean, they have to be careful to store in climate controlled units if they are storing in a normal storage facility. ?If you ever need to store your own personal wine, be grateful that you're living close to America's wine central—you'll be able to find a facility that can ensure no damage is done to your precious stash.
Traumatic Traffic
California is known to have the worst traffic in the U.S. ?Some places are worse than others (Los Angeles, for instance), but overall the state's traffic is pretty terrible. ?In Oakland, rush hour lasts from about 6:45am-9:15am in the mornings, and starts picking up again at 3:30pm and lasts until 7:30pm. ?If you ask the average person in the city about afternoon and evening traffic, you'll probably hear that rush "hour" actually lasts from 1:25pm to 8:30pm. ?Seven hours of traffic sounds pretty unbelievable, but we can vouch for them—the struggle is real. ?After hearing our traffic report, you should definitely opt for a storage facility that allows for 24-hour access to your unit, no matter how often you go (or don't go) to get your stuff. ?Getting anywhere on time in California's traffic is highly unlikely, so if you're nocturnal and have unlimited access to your unit, you're more likely to be able to get to your things whenever you want to.
Storage FAQ's
What storage space sizes are available?
In Oakland, there are 37 storage facilities, with a total of 48 storage units. Storage unit sizes generally range from 1' X 1' to 50' X 60'. Call one of your local facilities to have a representative find what size unit is best for you.
What are the prices of the storage spaces? Are prices based on the square footage of the storage space?
Generally the prices of storage units in Oakland vary based on the size of the storage unit and the location of the unit in the facility. Prices range between 69.0 and 2926.0, but representatives can better assist you once they have the details of your storage needs.
Do you accept deliveries for customers?
Most storage facilities in Oakland accept deliveries for their customers so that they don't have to go through the process of moving every time they need something to be placed in their storage units. They will keep your items in the office and will inform you when they arrive so that you can place them in your storage unit at your convenience.
Do you have different policies and prices for students or active military members?
Students and active military members are clients that have unique needs because of the nature of their schedules. Most storage facilities in Oakland offer discounts to students, and discounts and different policies for active military members. Please call your local facility or see our students and active military members pages to get detailed and updated information.
What security measures are taken to protect the storage units?
Security is every storage operator's priority. Speak with the storage manager of a facility of your liking in Oakland to find out what security measures they take to protect your belongings.
Should I rent a drive-up or interior storage unit?
Drive-up storage units are typically more expensive and not as clean as interior units. Drive-up units are more exposed to the elements (water, dust, etc.) and are therefore not as clean as interior units. Interior units, on the other hand, have a much better climate. Essentially, the desire to rent a drive-up unit comes from clients thinking that they will be visiting their unit very frequently, which is surprisingly not the case. Most people don't come to their units as often as they think they will, so given the cost and cleanliness issues, it's better to rent an interior storage unit.
Will the company have access to my space?
No, no one in the storage facilities has access to your space unless you specifically ask them or give them the right to do so. For example, you may want them to have access to your unit for things you may want delivered directly to your unit.
Do I need insurance for my storage unit?
We recommend that you get insurance for your belongings because the contents of the units are not insured through storage facilities.
Do you have advice on how to pack my storage space?
Yes, storage managers can provide you with tips and techniques on how to most efficiently utilize your storage space. Their hope is that you can have easy access to your items and that your storage space is worth every penny of your money.
What if I need more or less space after I move in?
Once you move in and feel that you need to move into a smaller or bigger space, storage facilities are happy to accommodate your move. Before renting a space, it is recommended that you speak to a storage facility representative to help you find the best sized unit for your needs. If things change through the course of your lease, they will help make the transition to your next unit as efficient and simple as possible. We also have a size guide that may answer some preliminary questions you may have.
Do you sell boxes and moving supplies?
Yes, most storage facilities sell boxes of various sizes, tape, bubble wrap, labels, and other items for your packing and moving needs.
Do you provide your customers with movers?
No, storage facilities do not provide movers. However, managers and team members would be happy to provide you with a list of reliable and reasonably priced movers in Oakland. See our resource guide for movers in Oakland.
Can I rent climate-controlled spaces in Oakland?
Yes, climate-controlled spaces are available in Oakland due to the varying weather. Temperatures range from 32.0 to 68.0, which can dramatically affect things in your storage unit. For storing items such as wine, wooden items, electronics, metals, artwork, etc. storage facilities recommend that you rent a climate-controlled unit. For questions and more details, please contact a local facility.
What access will I have to my belongings?
You have 37 facilities to choose from in Oakland. Access hours range from 8 to 24 hours a day. Please contact your local facility for more specific information about your unit.
Is there anything unique to keep in mind when choosing a storage facility in Oakland?
Some factors to keep in mind when choosing a storage facility in Oakland are: weather, peak rush hour times, items that you will be storing, and location within Oakland.
How long is the lease and what are its terms?
Storage companies in Oakland offer a month-to-month lease. If for some reason you would like to cancel your lease during a particular month, please contact one of the facility managers to assist you.
Do you have pest control?
Most facilities in Oakland schedule professional pest control services every month, and twice a month during summer months.
Will I receive a monthly invoice?
Most storage companies in Oakland only provide invoices upon request.
How do I know what size storage I need?
Storage managers would be happy to help you determine which size unit is best for you so that you're not paying for a 50' X 60' unit when you really need a 1' X 1' unit. Please reference our size guide for more information.
If I lose my key, can you provide another one?
No, storage facility employees do not have copies of the keys used for the units. If you lose your key, check with the facility for lock cutting fees. They may also be able to sell another lock and key to you.
What options do I have for payments? What forms of payment do you accept?
Most storage facilities accept cash, credit cards, or checks. Always ask about autopay, it's faster and much more convenient.
Oakland, CA Military StorageViewHide
Oakland, CA Military Storage
Military personnel and their families can never stay in one place for too long and are required to be able to move with very minimal notice. ?Although you've probably learned how to pack light, there are some things you just need storage units for. ?Oakland is home to multiple military bases, and a lot of their inhabitants are not able to keep everything they would like with them in their homes on the base. ?With 30 facilities to choose from in Oakland, military members are bound to be able to find a storage unit that suits their needs. ?If you're not too sure what to look for in a unit, don't worry—that's what we're here for.
Military Presence in Oakland
There are three military bases in Oakland, the largest of which is Travis Air Force Base. ?This base is 47 miles north of Oakland and is home to 3,770 civilians, 7,200 active U.S. Air Force military personnel, and 4,000 Air Force reservists. ?It also has an Air Force Medical Center, which accommodates 256 people at a time. ?The base has limited military base lodging and priority is given to those with official government orders and personnel on active duty. ?Family dwellings and temporary lodging facilities are available for military personnel and their families if they have made prior reservations.
With all of these people living on the base, and a fully equipped medical center, it's hard to make room for storage space for the residents of the base. ?Military members and their families would be much better off finding a nearby storage facility to store their extra belongings. ?If you live on this base and are looking for a local storage facility, check out American Self Storage, which is only 1.2 miles away from the base. ?This facility takes some pretty intense security measures to keep your belongings safe, and also offers military and senior discounts, extended hours, and special payment options for Air Force members. ?Word is that the nearby Jelly Belly Candy Company and Budweiser Brewery might store here too but we can't disclose too much!
Special Needs
Sometimes you need to store things that require special accommodations. ?For instance, when the Air Force Medical Center needs to store things like medicine, they need to be sure to store it in climate controlled units so it doesn't get ruined before it even gets to a patient.
Military personnel are also big on storing guns. ?First of all, not all storage facilities allow for gun storage, so be sure to check on that. ?You also have to look into the special rules of storing guns, such as the possibility of storing guns with a friend or family member, storing guns and their ammunition separately, and a number of other things. ?Ask the storage facility manager for more safety tips so you don't end up doing something illegal. ?Also consider renting a locker unit if you don't have a lot to store and want something more cost efficient.
Another thing to consider when looking for a storage facility is if they allow you to have 24-hour access to your unit. ?Certain facilities don't allow this, which can make things a little complicated for military personnel. ?Although this may not seem like a big deal, it can seriously impact your storage use and make your life more difficult. ?You don't have the typical nine to five schedule, so you'll need to be able to access your unit after hours.
Storage Safety
If you're storing something like guns, you want to be very careful, especially in a city like Oakland. ?Oakland has a very high crime rate; its annual violent crimes are 7,033 and annual property crimes amount to 24,944. ?With statistics so high, it's no wonder that storage facilities take strict security measures to protect their tenants' belongings. ?The average storage facility in Oakland has an on site manager, keypad gate entry and exit, fenced grounds, security cameras, and is well lit to ward off crooks from afar. ?If you're deployed overseas or temporarily assigned to another city or state, you won't have to be concerned that your belongings are in danger of being stolen.
Oakland, CA University StorageViewHide
Oakland, CA University Storage
When you're lucky enough to attend a university in Oakland, you know you'll need a lot of storage space. ?Although college students work hard, they generally play harder. ?If you're moving to Oakland for school, you'll be bringing more than just your books. ?There's so much to do in the city and its surrounding areas, so you'll need a storage unit to accommodate the things necessary for your extracurricular and recreational activities. ?And of course, you'll need room for stuff for school too.
Scary Stuff
Let's start with one of the most important things to consider when finding a storage facility in the area—security. ?Oakland has an overwhelmingly high crime rate. ?It's safer than one percent of the cities in the U.S. and has an annual property crime of 24,944. ?Universities are generally pretty safe, but you don't want to risk keeping your valuables in your dorm room if there's a chance they will be stolen. ?On campus housing generally doesn't have much security, especially when it comes to protecting property. ?Look for a storage facility that offers high security. ?What we mean by that is a facility that offers 24-hour video surveillance, gated and well lit grounds, and on site managers. ?You'll be able to find places that offer higher security than that as well, but those are just the basics that we would recommend you have. ?The last thing you want is your artwork being stolen in the middle of the night.
What Students are Storing
The University of California, Berkeley is just 5.5 miles north of the heart of the Oakland. ?The university spans across 1,232 acres, has an undergraduate enrollment of 27,126 students and a graduate enrollment of 10,455. ?That's almost 40,000 students competing for storage units! ?Not to mention they also have over 1,000 student organizations on campus. ?UC Berkeley is not known to be a commuter school, so most of the students that attend the university live on or around campus. ?It's the number one public university and ranked third globally, so there are people from all over the world attending its programs. ?Now if you consider everything we just told you, you'll see that this massive student population is bound to take over all of Oakland's 30 storage facilities.
A typical dorm room is about 114 square feet in size, and there are usually two to three students sharing a room. ?If you ask us, the only things the average student can probably bring to college with him/her are some clothes and a few books. ?The students at UC Berkeley are heavily involved in extracurricular activities that generally require extra stuff. ?The thing that really caught our interest was the school's hang gliding club. ?All of those students have got to be putting their hang gliding equipment in storage units; those things are virtually impossible to fit into a dorm room. ?UC Berkeley is also just over the San Francisco Bay, meaning that many students do a lot of biking, surfing, and other water sports that require some heavy duty equipment. ?Even if students that attend this school pack light, they are so heavily involved in these recreational activities that they absolutely need storage units to store their things.
Storage Perks for Students
If you're a student in need of a storage unit, and you attend UC Berkeley or any of the other 15 colleges in Oakland, consider storing your things at Central Self Storage or Berkeley Self Storage. ?Both of these facilities are within two miles of campus and often deal with the surrounding student population, so they'll know exactly what you'll need. ?If you feel like you can't afford storage (trust us, you probably can), then ask about student discounts, back to school specials, or sharing a unit with a friend.
Also be sure to ask about month-to-month leases. ?Most storage facilities offer them, which is great for when you go to study abroad or only want to leave your things in storage while you're home for the summer. ?And lastly, you'll want a storage facility that offers 24-hour access to your unit. ?Summer nights in Oakland are really nice, so it's nice to know that you can grab your surfboard and catch some waves after a hard night of studying.
Oakland, CA RV and Boat StorageViewHide
Oakland, CA RV and Boat Storage
People lucky enough to live in Oakland have the luxury of using their boat or RV almost year round. ?It may seem like it's a lot faster to leave for a boat ride or RV vacation if your vehicles are on your driveway, but you might be surprised at how much more convenient it is to put your vehicles in a storage unit. ?Your vehicles will be safe, clean, and will still remain easily accessible despite them being away from home. ?If the thought of this makes you somewhat anxious, keep reading and we will address your concerns.
When you keep your boat or your RV out on your front yard, it's bound to get dirty. ?You're probably thinking that it's nothing a quick wash can't take care of, which is true in some ways, but there are other things to consider as well. ?Oakland is a city that is right next to the Pacific Ocean, meaning that your RV can be susceptible to rust due to high salt content of the ocean air. ?The first thing that comes to mind is that this can also happen to your car, which it can, but your car is being used daily, whereas your RV is sitting on your driveway collecting salt, so to speak. ?The value of your RV is depreciating before your eyes and you don't even know it! ?A great way to avoid something like this is to put your RV into storage. ?You can easily find a storage facility near you that specializes in RV and boat storage, and they can help you with all of your storage needs.
Oakland has a very high crime rate; its annual property crime is 24,944. ?If your beautiful boat or RV is out in your front yard, chances are it will become a target of a crime at some point. ?Your RV will definitely be much safer in a storage unit, not just because it will be indoors, but because of the strict security measures that storage facilities take to protect your belongings. ?Some security measures that are becoming common practice in the storage industry are: ?24-hour video surveillance, on site managers, gated grounds, and well lit facilities. ?You can also find facilities that have alarms on individual units, but that's a fairly new thing so be sure to ask about it if you're interested.
Putting your vehicle in storage will also protect it from the weather and possible accidents. ?You don't want the neighborhood kids to break a window while they're playing football on the street where your RV is parked. ?Replacing that window will definitely be more expensive than paying for a month of storage.
Traffic and other Storage Concerns
Anyone who lives in Oakland, or any part of California for that matter, knows how terrible traffic is. ?Everyone's lives would be so much easier if there were fewer cars on the road, especially huge RVs that move slower and take up more space than the average car. ?We would recommend storing your vehicles closer to where you'll be using them.
Anthony Chabot Regional Park is a beautiful RV park located just 20 minutes away from downtown Oakland. ?It is 3,314 acres, has 70 miles of hiking and riding trails, and is open year round. ?It's also one of the rare parks that has a marksmanship range, which is just a fancy way of saying shooting and archery range. ?If this is a park that you go to often, you probably end up taking bikes, guns, and your bow and arrow every time you head up there. ?Even if you can rent those things at the park, it's nice to have your own without having to bring them across town with you every time. ?To simplify your getaways, you can store your vehicles and other RV camp oriented things at StoragePRO Self Storage. ?This storage facility is very close to the park, it's conveniently located so you can avoid traffic (you can easily get to it by getting on the I-238 or I-880), and they specialize in vehicle storage.
When storing things like guns, be careful to find a unit that is climate controlled so Oakland's heat and proximity to the ocean don't affect them. ?Also consider finding a facility that allows for 24-hour access to your unit so you can come and go as you please.

Multiple Emulsion: Technology and Applications (Wiley Series on Surface and Interfacial Chemistry)By: Abraham Aserin (editor)Hardback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionThe Comprehensive, Single-Source Reference on Multiple Emulsions In theory, multiple emulsions have significant potential for breakthrough applications in food, agricultural, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries in which they can facilitate the sustained release and transport of active material. However, in practice, multiple emulsions are thermodynamically unstable. This book presents recent findings that can help formulators understand how to enhance their stability. With chapters contributed by leading experts from around the world, it covers the definition and properties of multiple emulsions, their formation and stability, and potential applications, with an emphasis on medical and pharmaceutical applications. In one definitive resource, it presents recent findings and achievements in the field, including: New theoretical approaches and modeling to characterize the transport mechanism Droplet size reduction and increased shelf life stability through the use of polymeric amphiphiles and complex adducts The use of new emulsification techniques to enhance the monodispersibility of the droplets Potential applications in drug delivery systems where clinical studies have proven their efficacy This is a core, hands-on reference for surface and colloid scientists, physical chemists, chemical engineers, soft materials scientists, food chemists, controlled release scientists, and pharmaceutical scientists in drug delivery applications, as well as for graduate students in these disciplines. The editor and contributors hope this logical consolidation of current information will further the understanding of multiple emulsions and lead to new, practical applications.

Greetings. As this is my first post to this forum, brevity shall necessarily prevail.
We've probably all forgotten that mischievous non-event already, but ...
"The repeated claim from onstage multi-millionaires that the audience were going to 'change history' simply by turning up and tuning in cheapens agency in every sense. Participating in a narcissistic, self-righteous Spectacle is not 'doing something'. Tony Parsons, of all people, made the very good point in The Mirror today that the generation of the Thirties and Forties did not expect Crosby and Sinatra to change the world - but, as he says, many of them had either risked or given up their lives to change things. ... What needs to be kept in mind is BOTH that capitalism is a hyper-abstract impersonal structure AND that it would be nothing without our co-operation."===>MarK
The Make Macho-Posturing Kapital Whores History musick-celebritishy spectacle was essentially part of the Blair government's PR campaign surrounding the G8 meetings last July [or was it June, or maybe August, or maybe why should anyone bother to care?], a cynical campaign aided and abetted by the Bush regime, British NGOs, and quite unfortunately, those two blarney-babblers, the ultra-montane reactionary Kapitalists, Bob Geldof (wealth: 200 million [in pick your favourite currency]) and Bono/Paul Hewson (1 billion).
The most influential player of Make Geldof History was Oxfam, a centrist-complacent NGO with close allegiance to the British government, in particular with British Chancellor Gordon Brown's office. Working closely with the Commission for Africa, which is chaired by, um, tyrannical ego-maniac Bob Geldof and run by batty Blair, nosey Brown, and Britain's overseas aid minister Hilary Beenie Benny, the official Make Bono History campaign ignorantly fell into supporting the neo-liberal agenda of the G8 leaders.
Meanwhile, calling George Bush a "sincere and passionate man," [making Michael Moore real envious] resting his head lovingly on Tony Blair's shoulder while posing for the media cameras, Bob "What about Paula, Bob?" Geldof joined Texan-Stetson Bono's tradition of delegitimizing the protesters and pandering to elite leaders, in particular two of the eight men who actively facilitate the poverty in the first place.
Geldof and Bono's actions not only dismissed the much more complicated and deeper critiques made by the G8 protesters, but also implicitly condoned the hypocritical decisions of the corporate and government elites made during that week alone. The Scottish government punished members of Parliament who spoke out in favor of protecting protesters' rights to peacefully dissent in Gleneagles. For an entire month, these MPs were banned from government buildings and their salaries as well as the salaries of their staff were taken away. While Bonol and GAdolf spoke from the sublime heavens about "saving" the Africans, the rock stars took no action to pressure the UK government to let across the African protesters who were being denied entry into the country and denied participation in the events at which they had been invited to speak. Worse, Geldof, on a panel at a press meeting and in front of the gathered world broadcast media, contemptibly dismissed as "offensive and outrageous" the comments of an African member of the panel, who had simply questioned the effectiveness of Make Geldof Rich History.
Moreover ["as if we didn't know"], the assumptions and recommendations manufactured by Bobbly's Commission for Africa will prove disastrous for Africa's workers, peasants, and the urban poor. These include the assumption that the impact of Western manoeuvers on Africa has been largely benign. There is a complete absence of criticism of the ongoing Western military interventions of the last half century, and the colonial exploits and brutality forced upon the peoples of African nations. The other damaging assumption of the Commission revolves around the premise that free trade and privatization are somehow the key to liberation for Africans. The International Monetary Fund is viewed as being able to "play an invaluable role" in clearing the way for "private sector investors." Private profit making is seen as the panacea to poverty: "Successful growth will be led by the private sector." The commission concludes that only by ridding themselves of barriers to free trade and exporting to the rest of the world can Africans work their way out of poverty. Yes, Bobo, "Make Poverty Permanent cuz it made me obscenely rich. And I like it."
Besides completely whitewashing the real story behind Africa's debt burden, which has deteriorated further post-Live8, and the continuous misery their policies impose on the rest of the world, Blair and Brown and the rest of the G8 leaders hoped to use the Make All The Little People, The Masses History events as a smokescreen for the crisis occurring in Iraq. Unfortunately, agents-of-Kapital Bono and Geldof wholeheartedly supported this move. Because of their facile and naïve view of the political situation, Bono and Geldof helped to take the heat off Bush and Blair at their weakest point, the Iraq war, which is strategically situated as the first in a long series of dominos set up by and for both Western administrations. If this domino falls, pressured by the global anti-war movement, then the long line of imperialist drives, including the debilitating imposed debt on Africa, has a much greater chance of falling, of being cancelled. Instead, with foolhardy optimism in a system and its pushers who have literally created the misery, the millionaire rock stars persist in criticizing protesters through name-calling and displays of ignorance about protesters' understanding of the situation as if ordinary people simply could not grasp the real story behind the debt.
"Ironically bolstered by the strength of the global anti-war movement's ability to draw out millions in the streets, Geldof organized Make Poverty History concerts all over the world and called for people to march in Edinburgh. As opposed to providing the real justice that South African activist Trevor Ngwane and others called for, however, Geldof instead used his impressive soapbox to call for patronizing charity, and a more than polite request to the G8 leaders to "play nice." In the same vein, Geldof also intentionally refused most African artists to play on his stages, saying they wouldn't draw crowds. Thus, he paternalistically reduced the people of Africa to uncultured children who need to be pitied, not empowered. He also privileged the minuscule numbers of the powerful ruling class into the position of being willing and able to change the world not the masses of ordinary people everywhere.
To make matters worse, Geldolf emailed an edict to each of the Live 8 performers, forbidding them from mentioning the Iraq War or saying anything that would "embarrass" Blair. As with the Make Everything History demonstration, this was a case of the millions of participants being more progressive than the organizers of the event.
It was also a perfect exemplification of class unconsciousness. From the stage, the wealthiest man on the planet, Bill Gates, along with the likes of Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Bob Geldof, positioned themselves as experts on Third World debt and poverty. Millionaires like Madonna, before performing, asked the crowd if they were ready for a "revolution." And perhaps the most egregious moment came when Chris Martin of the pop band Coldplay, commented that the Live 8 concerts were the most important events ever organized in human history."===>Why Bono and Geldof Got It Wrong, VIRGINIA RODINO, Counterpunch.
"And still U2 - always U2. The pious priests of anti-punk. The sound of the Restoration. Anthemic pathos. Nothing will happen until U2 are destroyed, destroyed utterly. Until it is much more embarrassing and shameful to like U2 than it ever was to like ELP or Floyd." ===>MarK
Bono lives just two miles away, as the crow flies; ya want me to do sumtin', MarK?
Yes, brevity ...
Major: Will you give the Court your name, fellow?
Padraig: Is it my name, sir? Ah, your jokin' ...
Defence Counsel: Come, Padraig, my man.
Padraig: There, didn't I tell ye! He knows me well enough.
Major: Padraig, that's the Irish for Patrick, I gather.
Padraig: No sir; Patrick is the English for Padraig.
Major: Are you guilty as charged?
Padraig: Shure, I thought that was what we'd all come here to find out.

Actress Shailene Woodley ready to do fame her way
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shailene Woodley calls fame "the F-word."
"I'm fine with the other F-word," the 21-year-old actress says. "But that F-word is too much."
She better get ready. An actress since age 5, Woodley earned notice — and an Independent Spirit Award — for playing the angst-ridden teen daughter of George Clooney's character in 2011′s "The Descendants." Starting Friday, she can be seen in another indie, "The Spectacular Now." She may also play Mary Jane in "The Amazing Spider-Man" franchise. And Woodley has just wrapped work on a project that could bring her "Twilight"-sized fame.
"I have a very, very fun life outside of this industry, so if anything were to not happen or if things got to be way too overwhelming ... I will go and be an herbalist," says the actress, folding her lithe frame and bare feet beneath her as she sips a cappuccino made from ground mushrooms. "I never want to stop. I want to act until the day that I'm not here anymore. But the day it becomes boring is the day I'll quit."
That's not likely. Not only is Woodley "a crazy positive person by nature," she just finished filming her most empowered role yet. She plays the lead in "Divergent," the big-screen adaptation of the young-adult novel that's been compared to "The Hunger Games." And if it's as popular as predicted when it hits theaters next year, Woodley may have to leave her anonymity behind.
"I'll never, ever think of myself as famous, even if I ever get to the point of George Clooney ... because I think you might go crazy if you start referring to yourself in those terms," she says, considering a future marked by paparazzi and private entrances. "But the main thing for me is just, I'm me, and I live such an amazing life which I'm so lucky for and I have such amazing friends and the perfect family ... that I don't see anything changing."
She's already playing by her own rules where she can. She often skips makeup on red carpets to feel more like herself. And when she does submit to full regalia, she tucks a favorite crystal necklace beneath her designer dress. She also talks about herbs and the environment every chance she gets.
"In middle school, I became a really avid environmentalist," she explains.
During a recent appearance on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," Woodley showed off some echinacea flowers she picked while walking through New York City. During this interview, she shares the vials of herbal tinctures she typically travels with, and offers a visitor an herbal cappuccino like the one she's drinking.
"I was able to talk about something that I love on a show that generally doesn't talk about things like that, so there's ways to have fun with it," she says of her Fallon interview. "It's cool to be in a position where I can maybe start shifting the views on what it means to be a young actor and what it means to be in this industry."
Her grounded nature and ability to effortlessly reflect adolescent angst onscreen is why director James Ponsoldt chose Woodley for "The Spectacular Now."
She plays Aimee Finicky, a shy, smart high-school senior who develops a relationship with classmate Sutter Keely (Miles Teller), a popular, charming, hard-partying kid who takes life as it comes. Though they appear to be ill-matched, they help each other grow past self-imposed boundaries.
Ponsoldt says Woodley reminds him of Sissy Spacek, Barbara Hershey and Debra Winger — women who feel "a responsibility to play their characters with the highest intelligence... to not let themselves be cheapened or used as poor depictions of womanhood."
"Shailene knows exactly who she is and I don't think she feels like she has to sell herself out to have a career," the director notes.
As for "Spider-Man," she filmed some scenes as Mary Jane but was ultimately cut from the second installment, due in theaters next year. She says the script for the third chapter is still in development.
"We're assuming MJ is in there, but they're so tight lipped about it," she says without a hint of longing or disappointment. "I would love to be MJ, but I think it's just a matter of my schedule and their schedule."
Woodley's, of course, is full. She'll start filming the independent medical drama "The Fault in Our Stars" with Laura Dern later this month, wrapping just in time for "Divergent" promotions to begin.
She credits her parents — psychologists who split when she was 14 — for helping her develop a strong foundation. When she first caught the acting bug at age 5 while accompanying a cousin to theater class in her hometown of LA suburb Simi Valley, Woodley begged her mom and dad to enroll her in the $700 program. She got an agent right away and made 60 commercials by the time she turned 11.
"I had three rules when I was growing up: I had to stay who I was, have fun and do well in school," she recalls. "And if I constantly abided by all three of those, then I could continue to act."
Woodley says she's grateful to have grown gradually in the entertainment business, "so I've been able to get it in doses instead of all at once."
It's still scary when paparazzi follow her through the airport, which happened recently for the first time, but she's applying her sunny attitude to the challenges of fame.
"There's this obsession in our society and in our culture about actors," she says. "The magazines and the excess and red carpets and the heels, they're kind of terrifying. I'm able to handle it and it's fun and I can enjoy it, but it's terrifying on a human level, just looking at our culture and thinking, 'In 50 years are we going to look back to this moment in time and roll our eyes?'"

Tax fraud is a growing problem, with the IRS estimating that it's become a $4 billion-plus industry, and a new report suggests a large number of physicians are finding themselves victims.
Continue Reading Below
KrebsOnSecurity, a cybersecurity blog run by Brian Krebs that first broke Target's massive data breach last year, reports there has been a spike in tax fraud occurrences against medical professionals this year, prompting speculation that there has been an unannounced data breach at a national organization that either certifies or provides credentials for physicians.
Krebs reports that the New Hampshire Medical Society has heard from 111 doctors, physician assistants and nurse practitioners claiming to be tax fraud victims. Similarly, the North Carolina Medical Society has reported fraud incidents among 100 individual doctors and medical practice managers, and the Maine Medical Association has reported more than 30 instances of tax fraud with its members, the report states.
Krebs says a larger scale breach is purely speculation at this point, but says anecdotal evidence hints there are more instances of tax fraud in the medical community this season than in the past.
"In these cases, [fraudsters] were basically hitting the doctors and administrators, so the back-office folks didn't see the fraud," he says. "This suggests that these attackers got information that is specific to these doctors."
Doctors are a more lucrative target for tax fraud, Krebs says, because they likely get higher tax returns due to their income levels. "There's potentially more money. Also, if they have access to physicians' previous taxes, it's easier to get that return approved."
Doctor's offices, once infiltrated, have a wealth of customer data as well, he adds. "All of these are sole practices, so they may have two or three doctors, but they have a ton of information about customers. They have dependent information as well, so they have a whole package that is needed to convincingly file tax returns."
Adam Levin, president and co-founder of Identity Theft 911, says tax fraud is low risk and can bring a major return.
It's common for criminals to file fraudulent tax returns early in the tax-filing season since whoever files first gets the refund. It's not until the second (and often real) tax return is filed that the IRS flags duplicate returns.
"It's simple, because tax fraud is an easy crime to commit for big money," he says. "You can do it from your living room, in your bathrobe and socks, hit send and hope you get there first."
Levin agrees a large-scale breach is a logical assumption due to the widespread trend.
"This also coincides with Heartbleed," Levin says, referring to the OpenSourceSSL bug that was discovered by Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) researchers earlier this month. The vulnerability allows hackers to request information including usernames and passwords to gain access to other personal identifiers. "Using that Heartbleed vulnerability, they may have been able to more easily access a database."
Another potential source of exposure could be the recent release of government records showing Medicare payments to 880,000 medical providers across the country, the experts say. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services listed the National Providers Identification (NPI) number on each doctor.
"Just because that information has been available for years through various sources doesn't mean the bad guys paid attention to it," Levin says. "Now it's all available in one spot."

I remember my first car chase. I say car chase. I was on my bicycle, and slapped a car for stopping on the yellow-box junction outside Oval tube. He reversed out of the queue and chased me down a side-street where I lost him.
I remember the first time I was punched. It was days after the car chase, in almost the same place. I had slapped the white van for pulling out on me when I was cycling home from work; the white van man chased me, and I didn't lose him. He overtook me, waited for me, and punched me.
After this I took the bus to work.
I assume both those driver had driving licenses. Their driving licenses didn't mean they were driving well. The fact that I have my cycling proficiency certificate from 1987 didn't mean I was cycling well either.
The proof of ability to drive is in the driving, not the certificate. The proof of ability to cycle is in the cycling, not the certificate.
I have another certificate. My birth certificate proves that a birth took place. But it doesn't prove that I am still alive. What proves I am alive? Me.
Jesus talks about us being born again, or born from above. It's like being born the first time, except that the first gulp of life-source we take is not air, but the Spirit. In the Greek, the word is pnuema, as in pneumatic tyre. Filled with pneuma.
Often when this happens we get a certificate. We remember this day. Like our first birth, we rightly celebrate it, but unless we keep on breathing the Spirit our baptism certificate, like our birth certificate, is meaningless. Interesting history, but it doesn't prove life. And this applies whether you are baptised as a baby or a believing adult. Because neither prove on-going life. Anyone can get wet.
We may go faithfully to church every week; we may just come for a baptism. But the challenge is the same for all of us. Are we living as new creations? Are we living as those who have been born from the spirit, breathing in him as our source of life, reconciled to God and changed from the inside out?
That is proof of life. Certified.

Used Vehicle Review: Volvo S60, 2001-2010 – Autos.ca
September 30, 2010
By Chris Chase; photos by Greg Wilson
In 2000, the Volvo S60 was the second model to sport the brand's new styling cues, and while it and the S80 (which was redesigned three years earlier) were significant departures from the boxy cars they replaced, these two models looked very similar. In fact, the S60 looked so much like the S80 that it can be hard to tell the cars apart until you get within spitting distance.
The S60 and S80's broad "shoulders" at beltline level were a throwback to the venerable 240 series, an unlovely car (to many eyes), but one that earned a ton of respect during its long market run.
The S60, and its V70 station wagon variant (covered in its own review), replaced the S70/V70 of 1998-2000, which in turn, had replaced the similar 850 series. Like many European cars, the S60 was offered with a variety of engines in its home continent, but in North America carried on Volvo's then-current trend (started with the 850) of five-cylinder power.
A 2.4-litre naturally-aspirated five (168 hp) was standard, and two turbocharged engines (a 2.4- and a 2.3-litre) powered uplevel 2.4T (197 hp) and T5 (243 hp) models.

In 2002, an all-wheel drive version of the 2.4T was added to the line-up; in 2003, this became the 2.5T, owing to a bump in engine displacement and a corresponding increase in horsepower to 208.
The 2003 model year also brought with it the potent "R" model (offered in both body styles), powered by a 2.5-litre, 300-horsepower engine mated to Volvo's all-wheel drive system.
In 2004, the 2.5-litre turbocharged engine was given a home in the front-drive turbo model. The base, 2.4-litre S60 was dropped in 2006, though this engine was still offered in the V70.
While the the V70 was redesigned for 2008, the S60 carried on in a streamlined, two-model range including 2.5T and T5, with all-wheel drive being an option on the 2.5T.

In 2009, the T5 was dropped, leaving just the 2.5T, in front- and all-wheel drive forms. Leather was made standard, and a Luxury Package replaced the previous year#8217;s option packages. The S60 was discontinued for 2010, in preparation for the arrival of the 2011 in late 2010.
With such a wide variety of motors, drivetrains and body styles, fuel consumption figures were all over the place. Here's an overview: city consumption ranges from 11 L/100 km to 13.5 L/100 km, while highway consumption starts as low as 7.5 L/100 km and stretches up to almost 9.0 L/100 km. Like most cars however, you'd be dreaming if you think you could match these figures in real-world driving, particularly in all-wheel drive versions.
Don't expect to do much better than 14 L/100 km in the city and 10 or 11 L/100 km on the highway, unless you're really good about watching your speed.

Zack Greinke pitches 2 scoreless innings in Dodgers debut as LA ties White Sox 2-2
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
GLENDALE, Ariz. – Zack Greinke pitched two clean innings in his Dodgers debut and Los Angeles tied the Chicago White Sox 2-2 in a Cactus League game that was called after nine innings.
Pitching for the first time since he signed a $147 million, six-year contract to join the free-spending Dodgers in the offseason, Greinke retired six of his seven batters. He struck out leadoff man Dewayne Wise and third-place hitter Alex Rios in the first inning.
Greinke gave up one hit, a single up the middle by Jeff Keppinger.
White Sox slugger Adam Dunn hit an opposite-field, two-run homer to left against Peter Moylan.
Hanley Ramirez had an RBI single and Luis Cruz homered for the Dodgers.

CNS reporter Mark Pattison and photographer Bob Roller arrived in the Midwest this past weekend and are traveling through Iowa and Minnesota for a week for a series of stories on rural America.
ALONG INTERSTATE 35 — After having reported on a Le Moyne College-Zogby survey that examined Americans' and Catholics' attitudes on a host of issues — including gambling (they don't seem to mind it that much) — I was confronted April 19 by a slew of billboards advertising casinos in Iowa.
The champion in the attention-getting department was a billboard on I-35 near the Iowa-Minnesota border, which advertises the Diamond Jo Casino and the fact that it has a Burger King on the premises.
Neither is a draw for me personally, but some find the pairing to their liking no doubt.

Radiohead Attend Funeral for Late Drum Tech Scott Johnson
All five members of Radiohead, the band's crew and management joined hundred of other mourners at the Doncaster Minster church in Doncaster, England, for the funeral of drum tech Scott Johnson, who was killed when the stage collapsed prior to the band's June 16 concert in Toronto. Members of Keane were also in attendance at the service, which featured an eulogy given by family friend Father David Dixon.
Father Carl Schaeffer, who conducted the funeral, talked about Scott's "exceptional character" and mentioned a tribute from a friend that called him a "lovely man who was always positive, supportive and funny ... highly skilled and valued for his work." Scott's love of music was reflected with the playing of several songs, including 'Nothing Else Matters' by Metallica, 'Love is the End' by Keane and 'Love You So' by Free.
Scott's parents Ken and Sue were reportedly visibly moved by the service, as well as the outpouring of support from the capacity crowd in attendance. Ken noted that he was especially "touched" by a wreath of flowers sent to his son's grave from Killers' drummer Ronnie Vannucci.
Radiohead played for the first time since the stage accident on Tuesday (July 10) in Nimes, France, turning in a lengthy show that included a performance of the song 'Reckoner' dedicated to Scott and featuring photos of him on the stage's LED screens during the song.

Product Description
Peruvian hair is one of the more sought after textures. The hair resembles Brazilian texture, but can often have a natural wave, or more "body". Peruvian hair curls and colors beautifully and feels smooth, yet sleek, to the touch.
Our Peruvian weaving hair comes in natural, uncolored hair, which can range from a deep dark brown to a medium brown. Many customers purchase hair to have their stylist color it, or color it themselves.
Peruvian hair colors beautifully, allowing you to create stunning color blends, ombre, or replicate many of the color trends. As with all virgin hair, please process gently and lift one or two levels before proceeding with color and developer. This helps to ensure that you get the end result you're looking for, rather than hair that is too dark, where the color barely shows.
Please note that we do not offer refunds or exchanges for hair extensions, once they have been altered or chemical services have been performed. Test the color on a small, inconspicuous part of the hair extension before attempting to color the entire weft. While we offer this product, we do not offer any warranty for the results of a chemical service performed on hair after purchase

Can friends influence a relationship?
I have very few friends and none of them would do anything like that. As for my family they know I'd do what I wanted anyway as I hate being told what to do, I would get pissed off at them if they kept saying stuff about a girl I was with to me. I wouldn't stand for them making her feel uncomfortable, I wouldn't do that to someone they loved and would expect the same. It's all hypothetical as they wouldn't do it anyway.
Oh yeah. Two words, peer pressure. But of course, that is not always the case.

The ladder goes up and down unless you hit the "wife" bracket. Then it's a lateral move to the side with "Divorce". However the "Divorce" Bracket would put friend influence as high as girlfriend, i.e. more influence than "wife", while still being higher on the ladder than "girlfriend".

They really shouldn't... But they do.
For example, I still see people sending their friends to go ask out someone for them. And I'm in my Sophomore year of highschool.
Time to grow up, suck it up.
I've seen friends influence relationships, both good and bad... But mostly bad, unfortunately.
I've also had a really bad break up because my friend told me she liked my boyfriend. Jesus Christ.
That put a lot of awkwardness into the situation, and I eventually
broke up with him because she would never shut up about him...
And he would continuously feel uncomfortable everytime she was around us,
and say dangerous things like "I should just kill myself..." In front of him.

I'm not sure, I hope I'm the only one who keep my romance away from my friends and family/keep away my bf from them.
I don't like talking relationship-drama with my family and friends, if I were seek advice about my relationships I always talk about it hypothetically (there, I had to say I take measure on their advice). I reason avoiding awkwardness =_= since I'm the type of person who'd die out of awkwardness. ><
Because I'm her servant that's why I am reading this.
It's mainly how you decide to let it influence you. It can have a grand effect or not.
It's the time you spend between them that tears them apart.
It depends also on how clingy people are.
I'm lucky to have such a open bf.
Yes, most definitely. Even if you're one of those people that doesn't really care about what others think, and even if your friends don't actively try to influence your relationship, what they think about the relationship or the person has an influence.
if they are your "true" friends they wouldn't influence your relationship
I say they can, and I seen it happen, I wont l let happen to me but i know ppl can influence a relationship. Sometimes for the good but mostly for the bad.

I have no friends to influence my non-existent relationships but if I had both of them at the same time I would say yes friends can. They shouldn't in most cases but there are times when it is better for a friend to step in and try and point things out to you. Like if you are treating the other person poorly and somehow don't realize it or if they are doing something behind your back and you don't know about it. I would say those are some of the only times a friend should get involved. I do think however that the friend shouldn't directly be influencing the relationship and at most should just be allowing you to see it from different perspectives and decide what to do on your own.
Friends can influence relationship.
Family can influence relationship.
Her family/friends can influence relationship.
Your work schedule can influence relationship.
Our life isn't isolated, everything can influence everything else.
If "Nobody" is indestructible...Then I'm "Nobody"....!!!
If your girlfriend or boyfriend doesn't like your best friend then relationship is doomed. I've also had girlfriends that were jealous that I like my best friend more than them. So I try to explain "Well yeah he's my best friend I like him better than anyone not just you". Needless to say that never goes over well.
and I walk around like I got a 36" chain.
Yeah it does. A friend's opinion always count and if your boyfriend doesn't like your friend it gets really complicated. But if they really love you, they will try to get along because they know that it would make you happy. If the relationship fails is because they didn't love you enough.
Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.
You dictate how much someone influences you. It is a choice, as are most things in life.

The happy family, who returned from vacation in Hawaii, was accompanied by Pam's boyfriend, surfer Jon Rose, and her ex-boyfriend, surfer Kelly Slater.
"My kids keep me in shape," Pam has said. "I play every sport with them – football, basketball, baseball. I'm always outside and on the beach and in the water and I'm not a real gym person. I don't do the gym and I don't diet – I'm vegetarian but I don't diet."

UV protective cover-up dress coming soon!
UV protective cover-up dress coming soon!
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, July 11, 2008; Page A01
Increasing numbers of younger women continue to receive diagnoses of the most dangerous form of skin cancer even as the rate of new cases has leveled off in younger men, federal health officials reported yesterday.
An analysis of government cancer statistics from 1973 to 2004 found that the rate of new melanoma cases in younger women had jumped 50 percent since 1980 but did not increase for younger men in that period.
"It's worrying," said Mark Purdue, a research fellow at the National Cancer Institute, who led the analysis published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. "What we are seeing in young adults right now could foretell a much larger number of melanoma cases in older women."
The new research did not examine the reasons for the trend, but Purdue said it could be the result of such factors as women spending more time outdoors and engaging in indoor tanning. Young women are much more likely than young men to frequent tanning salons, Purdue and others noted.

"Equal rights -- we are still searching for it and everyone being treated equally," Anderson said.
Hundreds of youth participated in this year's event.

I have this reoccurring dream…
I am in my hot pink mesh tank top. I have my matching hot pink headband with my hair coming down around the sides. I am wearing my bright blue pants with the lime green waistband and my shoes have every electric shade to match (they are special shoes just for this occasion…). Did I mention I only have on a sports bra under my mesh tank top and I look smokin' H. O. T.
The music begins; it is loud. I am starting to feel the beat and I am mouthing the words to the song, in Spanish. I start shaking my behind… (my firm, tight behind that moves together as I move from side to side, back to front and every which way in between!)
Yes. This is what I look like in my dream. H.O.T. and my hair has grown like 10 inches and is flying around everywhere!
photos: thedancersshop.co.uk
Then I wake up…but I really did feel the beat and my body really did move in every direction I wanted it to, on the beat! {in my dream, that is.}
My train came back to the station today and I did go shake my behind at Zumba today! Sometimes a good booty shake just calls to me. It seemed like the perfect thing to get my train moving again.
I find Zumba to be absolutely hilarious and fun.
You just can't help but smile all the way through it.
I love to watch the instructor in her mesh tank top and matching headband mouthing the words to every song while shaking everything.
I love to watch the woman in the corner seeming to have a sexy dance party all by herself.
I love to watch the awesome woman in front with her sunglasses on hitting every move perfect. Did I mention she is like in her 60's? Awesome.
I can only imagine what they love watching about me – yikes! I know it is said that nobody watches anyone else… but come on, I totally do! Hate to break it to ya.
I think they should make a SNL or Portlandia skit about Zumba, that would be a complete and total crack up. Maybe they already have??
***Note to self: When doing Body Pump, the tight workout pants work ok due to the lack of shaking and the fact that your muscles actually look pretty good after lifting a ton of weights for an hour. Probably want to wear the baggy pants to Zumba so as not to literally see everything shake in the HUGE mirror in the gym fitness room…
I think I need a hot pink headband.
What is calling you today?

This month 75 years ago, the people of Nanking, China's ancient capital city, were in the midst of one of the worst atrocities in history, the infamous Rape of Nanking. The truth of what actually happened is at the center of a bitter dispute between China and Japan that continues to play out in present-day relations. Many Chinese see Japan's election last month of ultraconservative nationalist Shinzo Abe as prime minister as just the latest in a string of insults. And it was recently reported that Japan is considering rolling back its 1993 apology regarding "comfort women," the thousands of women the Japanese army sexually enslaved during World War II.
In 1937, the Japanese Imperial Army, captured Nanking on Dec. 13. No one knows the exact toll the Japanese soldiers exacted on its citizens, but a postwar Allied investigation put the numbers at more than 200,000 killed and at least 20,000 women and girls raped in the six weeks after the city fell.
In 2006, we traveled to China and to Japan to interview victims and soldiers who took part in the massacre. One former Japanese soldier explained, without a hint of regret: "We all drew straws, and the man who pulled out the one marked first, he brushed off her face tenderly and treated her pretty, yes, and then proceeded to rape her. As their daughter was being raped, the parents would come outside and gesture to us, 'Please spare her!' They'd bang their heads on the ground and plead with us. We'd take one girl and five of us would hold her down."

The St. Louis Cardinals begin a critical weekend series in Pittsburgh tonight against the Pirates. The Cardinals have had two days off as they took Wednesday night's finale against the Reds off and they had a scheduled off day yesterday. The Cardinals had built up a good bit of momentum until Wednesday night's nap so it will be interesting to see how they recover from that. They will be facing a team that has seen its momentum shift over the past week or so and they have struggled offensively as well as with their starting pitching. The Cardinals did get some bullpen help as they were able to acquire John Axford from the Milwaukee Brewers for a player to be named later. Rosters can expand to forty on Sunday which could also benefit the Cardinals whose bullpen has at times showed the strain of a long season.
The Cardinals need to get back to where they were before Wednesday because following this weekends series with the Pirates they head to Cincinnati for a four game series with the Reds before returning home next Friday to play the Pirates again.
The Kansas City Royals are in Toronto for the weekend to face the Blue Jays. The Royals have won five in a row but are still pretty much where they have been in the standings for pretty much the whole year.
As discussed here on Wednesday football season gets into high gear this weekend with most area high school teams playing tonight in the sauna-like atmosphere that has descended upon us. Many schools have pushed back the starting times of their games to try to make conditions more bearable but that's pretty much a lost cause on a day like today. Missouri's game with Murray State tomorrow night is available on pay-per-view for $40 for those people who have money burning a hole in their pocket. It would be cheaper just to go to the game assuming there are any tickets left. The big marque game for tomorrow is the Georgia and Clemson game in what will be one of the few competitive games of the weekend. Well, I guess I should say one of the few games that looks competitive going in.
NASCAR is in Atlanta for Nationwide and Sprint Cup races this weekend. The Chase For the Cup will start in a couple of weeks.
The U.S. Open tennis tournament continues this weekend with almost all the players who are supposed to still be there having performed as advertised.
This is a shorter Friday blog than normal due to other obligations and I apologize for that. There will be a major blog on Wednesday as we will get caught up on everything then and preview Truman State's first game of the year next Saturday. Thanks for checking out this and all the other blogs on the site.
Have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend!
