Mike Drak's Findependence Day: next stop Victory Lap Retirement
By Mike Drak
Friday July 29th will be a day that I will remember for the rest of my life. After thirty-eight years, I finally packed in my banking career. I suppose my co-author Jonathan would call this my Findependence Day!
To be honest, it will take some getting used to as my banking job played an important role in my life. It provided financial security for my family and gave me a good reason to get out of bed most mornings.
My career, like most careers, had its good and bad points. Overall though, it was a good ride and one that I will miss to some degree, but I had to leave in order to publish Victory Lap Retirement and create my blog.
Banks really don't like it when employees write books or blogs because it might not align with the story that they are trying to convey. Banks get nervous when employees stand out and don't fit in, when employees invent something that is outside the approved message.
Banks are very protective of their brand. They want the customer experience to be the same in every branch across the country. They want every employee to talk, walk and act the same. They desire a high degree of predictable sameness, as it's easier to control.
Why banks still sell the old version of Retirement
This is not a bad thing at first blush, but it tends to stifle individual creativity, which is costly long term both to the bank and its customers. The danger is that you end up being like every other bank selling the same story and nothing much happens out of the ordinary. Maybe this is why the banks continue to sell the old version of retirement, as it's easier to sell to the masses. Marketing to the few is not very cost efficient.
The Gift of Findependence
By Michael Drak
Special to FindependenceDay.com
Today there are a number of early-retirement bloggers out there doing great work, teaching people how important it is to adopt a frugal lifestyle so they can quickly regain their freedom.
They continue to preach the merits of "early retirement" but as far as I can tell none of the one' I follow are really retired. They continue to earn money from some activity but the key difference is that they earn that money on their own terms doing something they enjoy. They have earned the option to take a traditional full-stop retirement but for some reason have chosen not to. The question we all need to ask yourselves is why?
The other day I read an article in the Toronto Star about "Canada's Youngest Retiree" and his book that outlines the strategy that enabled him to retire at the early age of 34. The article went on to say he authored six national best-selling books after retiring and became a millionaire through investing.
Why not retire at 14 and make millions revealing how you did it?
I found the article interesting and said to my son Austin (who still lives at home): "Why don't you pack in school, and retire? Being 14 years of age we could probably get you into the Guinness Book of Records as the earliest retiree on record. Then all you have to do is write some best-selling books about how you were able to retire at such an early age, go out on the seminar circuit and preach to everyone about how you were able to do it.
You will make millions as people always want to find the quick-fix, the easy way to become financially independent without doing all the hard work. Austin was really excited about retiring and not having to go to school anymore but then the Contessa got involved and let's just say that was the end of that.
I'm concerned we are being oversold on the illusion of early retirement as if it will be the solution to all our problems. Believe me on this, it will not be. You still need to have a well-thought game plan for what you plan to do for the rest of your life. In simple words, you need to find something fulfilling to do. Based on their actions most of the early-retirement bloggers and Canada's Youngest Retiree would seem to agree.

How "Findependence" differs from "Retirement"
By Jonathan Chevreau, Financial Independence Hub
Having planted a stake firmly in the camp of Financial Independence, I'm often asked exactly how the phrase Findependence is different from Retirement.
There are a lot of distinctions between the terms, many of them subtle ones. I often say that Financial Independence means working because you want to, rather than because you have to financially speaking. In the latter case, the situation is akin to the bumper sticker that says "I owe, I owe so off to work I go."
I may also say that Findependence (I'll use the contraction of Financial Independence here now) often occurs years if not decades before traditional retirement. There are several Early Retirement practitioners running websites about how they achieved Financial Independence in their 30s or 40s, although they usually add that they continue to "work" in the sense of doing some work for money. That "work" will typically be as an independent supplier rather than an employee and may consist of writing books, running web sites and perhaps publicly speaking. They call this "Early Retirement" but I'd argue the better term is "Early Financial Independence."
You can find more on this topic by simply googling the term "Financial Independence vs. Retirement." You'll find several results, including a couple of articles by me that have appeared in various web sites both Canada and the United States.
Consider this piece from FI Journey entitled Financial Independence vs Early Retirement: What's the Difference? Here's how the writer sums it up: "Financial independence is setting an annual income goal for yourself, and putting your money to work in such a way that you can live off the proceeds from your investments without ever reducing your retirement account. If you started your 'retirement' with a million dollars in the bank, the idea is that you would die with a million dollars in the bank, whether that was 5 years or 50 years later."
Working even if you don't need to do so
Then there's an article from a year ago featuring a dialogue between two Early Retirement gurus, J.D. Roth of the Get Rich Slowly blog and the blogger known as Mr. Money Mustache: Coming to terms: retirement vs. financial independence. There, Roth notes that both bloggers have accumulated nest eggs that would allow them "never to work again" yet "both of us have elected to continue doing work for money." Even so, they still consider themselves "retired."
Mr. Money Mustache, aka "Pete", replied that only certain personality types will sit around doing nothing in retirement but for him, retirement "just means you're free to do what you really want to do."
Roth said they both think it's possible to call oneself "truly retired" even if they continue to work for money but added that not everyone agrees. One reader maintained that "retiring is stopping doing work for pay." Then Roth segued to an excerpt from his one-year Get Rich Slowly Course that outlines four types of retirement: traditional "full-stop" retirement at 65 or so, Early Retirement that can occur between 30 and 50, Semi-Retirement and finally a series of "Mini Retirements" that can be distributed at various points of a long career of work.
Let's retire the loaded word Retirement
Roth concludes much as I would, saying that because Retirement is a loaded word, he prefers to use the term Financial Independence, which he says "is essentially the same idea but without the baggage." He also talks about something we've mentioned in this blog before: that there are degrees of Financial Independence, ranging from dependency on parents or employers, to dependency on creditors, to freedom from debt, to what I've called "barebones" Findependence and finally "complete" financial independence. He decides that once you've saved enough to fund 25 years of your current lifestyle, you've achieved financial freedom.

Couple celebrate silver anniversary of their Findependence
By Billy and Akaisha Kaderli,
Special to FindependenceDay.com
At the age of 62, we are beginning our 25th year of financial independence. That is quite a feat!
From the beaches on Nevis, West Indies, to the shores of Phuket, Thailand we have travelled extensively through these decades, and what a ride it's been!
Young and strong in those early years, we were willing and able to tackle just about anything. Now we tend to be a bit more cautious but we're not letting up. We still climb into the backs of pickup trucks, ride the chicken buses and soak in volcanic hot pools. The time has passed quickly from when we were the youngest, grayless couple in a group of retirees, to now where we blend in with the retiree crowd.
Still, no one can take away the dance we danced and we are filled with gratitude for all the miles and smiles.
You can do it too!
How do you want to live the next five, ten, twenty years or more? Only you can decide what is best on your path and how to get to your goal.
We were often told retiring early couldn't be done successfully and that we would fail. These self-supported 24 years have proven the naysayers wrong, and we believe that since we have done it, you can too. In our books and on our website we share the tools we have used to get us here so that you, too, can create your own successful retirement, early or not.
We maintain that one must keep one's dreams alive. No one will do it for you. Besides, it's much more fun to be led by one's dreams instead of being pushed by one's problems.
Time-tested tools
No matter where you are on your path to Retirement (Findependence?), here are some time-tested tools we have used. Take advantage of what we know.
Track spending
This is basic and oh-so-essential. When you track what you are spending you know exactly where your money is going and you are able to make decisions clearly and in real time about your cash outlay. This one habit will change your financial life.
Manage cost per day and annual net spending
Once you track your spending, you are able to figure out the yearly amount of money you are devoting to live the lifestyle you are currently enjoying. Divide your yearly amount by 365 days a year and you have your Cost per Day. Manage these figures assertively and you will be in control of your money. We have been retired for a full 24 years (beginning our 25th year January 14, 2015) and our annual spending for these years has been well under $30K per year.
4 categories of spending
In any household, there are four major spending categories: housing, transportation, taxes and food. If you make adjustments here – and there are lots of ways to do so – you are on your way to financial independence. Open yourself up to options such as house sitting, moving to a less costly area to live, paring down the number of vehicles you own, and being aware of your entertainment outlays.
Positive attitude and mental flexibility
Some people think having a positive and flexible mental attitude is small stuff and inconsequential. But without a sense of wonder, an open mind to new things and even to Change itself, making the transition into a satisfying new life of retirement is more difficult. There are so many opportunities and different ways to live, travel and experience life! Why get in your own way? Embrace your retirement and get a mitt and get in the game!
So, as we begin our 25th year we encourage you to dust off that dream and create a clear vision. Strengthen your will to move into your new life and put your solid financial plan into action. If you do these simple things, you, too, can live the life of your dreams.
Editor's note: On the date of our retirement, January 14, 1991, the S&P 500 was at 312.49. It has averaged better than 8% yearly plus dividends over these decades. Our average annual spending is well below $30K yearly.

This installment is a love letter to the large-format Deardorff view camera, which shoots a negative measuring eight by ten inches. Douglas begins by showcasing a dozen startling and luminescent portraits from his years working in large-format photography, featuring subjects ranging from celebrities such as Nicole Kidman to Australian Aborigines.
Next, Douglas tours the 8x10 large-format camera, showing how to achieve effects such as shallow depth of field and describing the printing potential that such a large negative permits. He then demonstrates a variety of lighting, posing, and styling techniques while photographing both indoors and outdoors at the Kirkland studio in Los Angeles, California.
The course concludes with a critique of the resulting photographs. Douglas also shows how he resized and cropped the image to fit a print campaign.
Skill Level Appropriate for all
I hope you've enjoyed watching my process as I've worked with the 8x10 camera, a very special piece of equipment. And seeing some of the reasons I use it. I love the shallow depth of field or the focus that's misty in the background. Nothing quite matches it. Why does that happen? Mainly because it has such a big piece of film, 8x10 inches. It's about 20x25 centimeters. It's a big piece of film and the aperture of this lens is not that fast, but it gives that shallow depth of field, that mistiness, even at f/5,6. That's the maximum aperture on this lens.
And the people often say to me, if I am doing it, what do I focus on? It's very simple. Always the eyes. Focus on the eyes, you'll never miss. That's what people really want to see. The camera has devices like you have on some 35 millimeter type cameras and medium format swings and tilts. What do you use this for? Well, you can extend the focus if you want and in the back you can to swing it around and you can get correct lines for architecture. All sorts of possibilities.
It's endless anyway. I really would encourage you to try this equipment. But if you don't happen to have an 8x10 available to you, use a 4x5 and work with that. You'll be surprised what you can do or a medium format or a 35 because truthfully, the most important piece of equipment you will ever have is right here in your head. Your mind and your eye. And you only limit yourself by your own creative process and your imagination. So enjoy it and get the most out of photography, as I do everyday and as I work and enjoy it.

Chris Key
Posted in the Greeneville Forum
#1 Jul 4, 2013
Who called for a (welfare check) on him? I would really like to know!
#2 Jul 4, 2013
i know that hes in trouble but this may be what it takes to clean him up if thats what he wants
#3 Jul 4, 2013
I haven't seen him in almost two years. I new he was starting to have some problems then. If someone wanted to help him there are a lot better ways than calling the gpd! Someone just wanted to get him in trouble, and they certainly did that. If he still had his job, it's gone and his house and everything else. I've known him for about 22/23 years and I hate this. I also hate hearing about the bath salts. This is something that people usually don't come back from. Having the guns there is what is really going to screw him. I hope whoever called the police are proud of their self. Maybe someday, someone will get to thank them for him!!
#4 Jul 5, 2013
What happened to him? He is on mugshots for drugs and weapon but Nobody asks about a welfare check?
We need a news website in this town you cant find crap from Greeeneville Sun website
#5 Jul 5, 2013
Wgrv but that mug shot from sevierville on 29. Come into home on 2 or 3rd. An it was no welfare ck. think it was his parents askin for them to ck his welfare. Hope he gets the help he needs good people make bad choices an its hard to get back. Prayers are with you
#6 Jul 5, 2013
So he had guns and bath salts but you wanna blame whoever called the cops on him. That's what's wrong with people today, don't wanna blame the people at fault.
#7 Jul 5, 2013
yeah he had guns, in his own house, not robbing a bank! If someone wanted to help him, get him into rehab not jail. As far as the bath salts I can't defend that. I just wish this hadn't happened to him. He's had his ups and downs like everyone else, but he is a good guy just going through a ruff patch. You call a welfare check on your 86 year old grandmother if she doesn't answer her phone for two days. Someone called it on Chris to get him in jail. Jail never helped anyone, rehab, family and friends do. So get off your soap box, bc I know you've never been wrong? Just a thought..
#8 Jul 5, 2013
I've known chris for several years,I've always thought the world of him. your right its no gonna help him setting in jail, he really needs the help
rehab is the best solution. I hope he will accept the help from family and friends hes gonna need all the support he can get to bet the drugs.I really hate this happen to him, he is a really good guy. I hope he can get his life back together.
#9 Jul 5, 2013
Losing a job, house or anything else is better than losing your life. He may need to lose everything to keep his life.
#10 Jul 5, 2013
Is this the Chris that cruised town back in the late 80's, drove a black 4 wheel drive truck? If so he was a dick back then, thought he was better than everybody else.
#11 Jul 5, 2013
I disagree with you. I went to jail many years ago and it was the best rehab I could of got. Rehabs don't help either. I know many people that have been to them at least 3 times. You have to rehab from within. It's like my dad always told me. People don't need rehab, they need God!
#12 Jul 5, 2013
To answer a few people on here. Yes same Chris that was in town in the 80's . Black toyota, no he didn't think he was better than anyone else. A girl you liked that wouldn't talk to you probably liked him. Next, I've been in both jail and rehab, and I know what worked for me. If jail worked for you, great. Next, he had already lost his job I didn't know that until today, but had just had a good interview last week. He still doesn't deserve to lose his house, his family is devistated. He's always been a good friend to me that's all I can say. I wish I'd known what he'd been going through, maybe I could have helped maybe not. But having someone call the law on him at his house is BS. I just hope when he gets out he can get it back together, I know I'll help him if I can..
United States
#13 Jul 7, 2013
he is a only child an his parents adore him i know that is what hurts the most he feels he let them down dont let this break you you went down that road an it was a dead end turn around an start over. God dont give up on us so we should not give up people will run their mouth but who cares they will be another story an they move on we need to help each other not beat each other down
#14 Jul 7, 2013
I have to agree! There is only one way now! And that is up. after you hit rock bottom you have to work even harder to get it back I know this, been there done that and good friends will help you out
if there to help you along the way. I have one friend that helped me out and I will never forget
what she done for me. A good support system, and a true friend for life! Chris your true friends will
be there to help you as well as your family. Give it all you got you can beat this! The chris I know from years ago can beat this find yourself and forgive yourself and take the help when its offered.

If he really wants help and really truly wants to go to a rehab that works, he should have his family call Mission Teens in Saylersville, Kentucky. There is no charge to go to this rehab... it has a higher success rate than any other I've been involved with... This rehab will expect you to work while you are there. It's church-centered too, so if you are an aethist, you probably aren't going to be happy listening to sermons there. The local Courts will usually approve someone going to this and trying to get their act together. But, if one isn't truly interested, don't bother.. you'll just screw up and have to finish your sentence once they catch back up with you.
#16 Jul 7, 2013
Ive never heard of that place is it a good place?
#17 Jul 7, 2013
Don't send him to Woodbridge, he will come out of there on more drugs. I thought that place would help a friend of mine, but the day they let him out they had him doped up on so many pills. Just made things worse.
#18 Jul 7, 2013
True that! Ive always heard that. I had a friend that went there they had him on sleeping pills ect. you name. I had another friend that was there last year and that friend is messed up pretty bad still and is out off work a lot, yes that's a bad idea in its self!

It's an excellent place and one of the few rehabs that I've actually seen that has true successes.. of cousre, the people have to want to get off drugs. If not, they aren't going to make it there or anywhere else...ANd, it's not just for teens either.
#20 Jul 7, 2013
Thats good, that would be worth looking into. but, your right you have to want it for yourself and nobody else! You have some good information. Hey, if you have anything else throw it this way! thank you very helpful.

Psychoanalyst (Jungian)
Award-Winning Designer
Award-Winning Educator
Writer & Public Speaker
For over twenty years I've worked within the overlaps of psychology and design.
As a contemporary Jungian psychoanalyst, I draw from Jungian psychology, neuroscience, and the psychology of desire. I specialize in helping creatives such as designers, artists, innovators, entrepreneurs and those involved in wellness.
As a designer, I work as a consultant exclusively for socially responsible design, cultural institutions, wellness, and similar types of organizations that honor diversity and difference and are making the world a better and more inclusive place.
As an educator, over the last 14 years, I've taught and mentored over 2,000 designers, artists, and producers of culture at New York University (NYU) and Pratt Institute.
In Fall 2015, I presented my ideas and observations about the emergence of the Archetype of the Designer in our time. This work is ongoing. I'm also interested in the relationship between neuroscience and spiritual experiences. I'll be teaching a course 'Jung, The Neuroscience of Spirituality, and Psychological Change' at the C.G Jung Foundation of New York in early 2017. For information on that course click here.

"My family made alcohol here but it was basically stopped during prohibition, so they turned it into a funeral home because they thought that it would be better business," explains Kevin. "My family operated the funeral home downstairs and lived upstairs."
As the first operating (and still operating) funeral home in Louisville, Kevin turned the 500 sq. ft. Victorian-style building into his own recording studio after his family vacated the living quarters. And living quarters it still is, as bands from as far away as Japan have come to live here while working on a record. "We work with a lot of little bands—it's great because they can stay for little cost, and sprawl out all over the floor."
The studio operates opposite hours of the services downstairs so as not to bother the dead. Kevin continues, "There's a metaphysical feeling with all the death and ending that goes on downstairs, and all the life and creation that's happening upstairs; it's a revolving door of energy. I love the idea of making records in unconventional environments, and recording music where people listen to music instead of studios that are acoustically tuned and sound dead."
To add to the unconventional atmosphere, The Funeral Home is currently working on making the facilities 100 per cent analog. "My goal is having the option of not touching the computer at all. I want a more organic way of working, and better-sounding recordings. Our next project is for the band The Kings, Daughters, and Sons, a local band from here in Louisville. They are going to track everything live to tape and I'm really excited about that . . . you don't get too many bands willing to do that these days." Other acts that have passed through the mortuary's doors include Japanese band Parms, My Morning Jacket, and Kevin's own band Wax Fang.
With analog equipment collected and borrowed (including the Otari and TASCAM tape machines from friends Jim James and John Quaid of My Morning Jacket), Kevin is close to his all-analog goal. "I will never sell anything, I've learned that. Keep everything because if not, you'll regret it for sure."

J.C. Penney Billboard Features Kettle That Looks Like Hitler
A new problem for the embattled retailer.
1. Reddit users noticed the "Hitler tea kettle" on a highway billboard near Culver City, California.
And once you envisage Adolf doing the "I'm a Little Teapot" dance, you really can't unsee it. The offending kettle is also for sale on J.C. Penney's website. As yet no online shoppers seem to have noticed the similarity, instead describing it as "gorgeous and shiny" or "functional art."

A Year of the Linux Desktop
Around a year ago, a school in the southeast of England, Westcliff High School for Girls Academy (WHSG), began switching its student-facing computers to Linux, with KDE providing the desktop software. The school's Network Manager, Malcolm Moore, contacted us at the time. Now, a year on, he got in touch again to let us know how he and the students find life in a world without Windows.
Stu: Whose idea was it to switch computers over to Linux? What were the reasons for doing so?
Malcolm: We have used Linux as the OS for our Email server, VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) and web site for a while since I had used it before at my previous position in the financial industry. It was my idea to move the students' PCs to Linux as it was becoming increasingly obvious that with the size, cost and complexity of IT increasing seemingly exponentially, ultimately something had to give and professional pride would not let it be the quality of the systems we support.

Android/Google Leftovers
3 open source alternatives to Office 365
It can be hard to get away from working and collaborating on the web. Doing that is incredibly convenient: as long as you have an internet connection, you can easily work and share from just about anywhere, on just about any device. The main problem with most web-based office suites—like Google Drive, Zoho Office, and Office365—is that they're closed source. Your data also exists at the whim of large corporations. I'm sure you've heard numerous stories of, say, Google locking or removing accounts without warning. If that happens to you, you lose what's yours. So what's an open source advocate who wants to work with web applications to do? You turn to an open source alternative, of course. Let's take a look at three of them.
Hackable voice-controlled speaker and IoT controller hits KS
SeedStudio's hackable, $49 and up "ReSpeaker" speaker system runs OpenWrt on a Mediatek MT7688 and offers voice control over home appliances. The ReSpeaker went live on Kickstarter today and has already reached 95 percent of its $40,000 funding goal with 29 days remaining. The device is billed by SeedStudio as an "open source, modular voice interface that allows us to hack things around us, just using our voices." While it can be used as an Internet media player or a voice-activated IoT hub — especially when integrated with Seeed's Wio Link IoT board — it's designed to be paired with individual devices. For example, the campaign's video shows the ReSpeaker being tucked inside a teddy bear or toy robot, or attached to plant, enabling voice control and voice synthesis. Yes, the plant actually asks to be watered.

TelstraClear internet out for regions
Relevant offers
TelstraClear says it expects broadband will be restored to all its 80,000 cable broadband customers in Wellington and Christchurch by 1pm after a fault this morning.
Spokesman Gary Bowering said customers who kept their cable modems on all the time would not have been affected by the fault, but customers who turned them off would have found they were unable to reconnect to the network this morning.
The issue was being resolved and modems were now reconnecting to the network, but it might take until 1pm for the queue to clear, he said.
TelstraClear was still investigating the root cause of the issue.

This review is from: Afterglow AW.1 Remote for Wii - Blue (Video Game)
It's 10 dollars less than a normal Wii remote, just as responsive, just as durable, and it LIGHTS UP! Seems like a no-brainer purchase to me. The new placement of the +,-, and home buttons are smart. They are covered by the rubber cover, but really, this wiimote is too cool looking to cover up.
I am completely satisfied and 100% recommend this wii remote.

"Tuscany at Dawn" is a lovely work that allows the viewer to experience the sun as it peeps over beautiful Tuscan fields. In essence, there's just a hint of dawn rising over the hills, just enough to halo the mountaintops and softly fall on the green landscape beneath it. Poppies bloom in patches of red glory, hedged by bushes and trees that greet the new morning. The light of dawn bounces off the trees and playfully caresses the valleys. I want to be there .. to drink it all in. ....................... The roofs of the houses reflect red tones borrowed from the poppies while the trees and bushes emote a lush green that appears to be almost blue. The colors are rich and lush. ........................ I want to be there - to ride a horse through the fields, stopping to pick poppies or have a picnic lunch, to meet a countryman, to tour a vineyard where the finest of grapes become the finest of wines. The sun is rising now. I can imagine in my min...

"Thanks for the awesome result! I used your online baby gender predictor and the result was a Boy. Few weeks later, our scan confirmed that we are having a baby Boy. We are excited and very happy! I will recommend your site to everyone."
"A GREAT BIG THANK YOU! We are having a girl as you predicted when I requested a four year gender selection test. We are so excited as we have 2 boys and they are looking forward to the arrival of a beautiful baby sister to love and cherish. Your gender predictor was also correct for my second child." read more...
I just wanted to say thank you so much! Your gender predictor said I was having a boy and yesterday I went in for my big ultrasound and they confirmed 100% it's a boy!!
Hi, I have been meaning to contact you guys for quite sometime but just haven't got around to it until a friend of mine mentioned that her and her husband are thinking about getting pregnant and I told her about you guys! After I convinced my husband for us to try one more time (we have 2 boys and I was DESPERATE for a girl), I found your website. I bought the test results and found out that my chances were slim to have a girl and if I was going to I need to do it in Feb. 2005! Well I went off the pill in Oct. 2004 after showing my husband your baby gender prediction test results, of course he doesn't believe in that stuff but hey! Anyway, I found out we were pregnant on March 27th, 2005! The first thing I did was got on your website and made sure it said girl, then I looked it see what the Chinese calendar had to say, it said BOY, so I was a little scared but still had that hope! Although we would have been happy with whatever we were given! So ultrasound time came along and I was so nervous, we had the whole family there (dad and big brothers). The baby was moving like crazy and the tech was having a really hard time getting the measurements she needed let alone get the sex of the baby. So then finally she thought she saw something, so she calls in another tech to confirm. At this point my husband was not in there because of there protocol to get what they need first. So she looks at me and says do you want to know now or wait until we get your husband in here....I didn't even think, I said I want to know NOW! So the words were....IT'S A GIRL!!! I couldn't believe it, I started crying on the table and both techs were crying too! My husband is still mad that I knew before him but I got to be the one to tell him and the big brothers!! So our little girl was born in November 2005 and she has totally completed our family in so many ways. Although people think I am crazy, I totally believe that little piece of paper that I printed off in 2004 that told me she was going to be a girl! And as for my friend, I am sending her your website address and if I have to purchase the results for her I will, that is how much I believe in this! Thanks for all your help and I don't know how you do it but it works!!
I took your baby gender prediction test before I became pregnant. I had 3 boys at the time I took your baby gender prediction test, and I wanted a little girl so bad. Well, I just wanted to let you know that your baby gender prediction test worked, and I was very greatful for that. I had my little girl on June 1, 2006. I will refer you to other people in the future, and I thank you once again.
Dear All, I wish to inform you that I had a baby Boy, your gender predictor was 100% correct I cannot imagine that when I delivered the baby the doctor and nurses told me that it is a BOY all I could think at that time was you (Fortune baby) nothing else. I cannot imagine that a prediction is more accurate than the ultrasound! You are genius!

This show was one of my favourites as a child. Everyone I knew wanted to be stringfellow hawke, if only for the chance to fly Airwolf. The characters were good and interacted well (hawke being the moody one, Dom the comic relief). The only bad thing was towards the end of Airwolfs run they changed all the characters (actually killing off "Dom" (or a lookalike)) and making String disappear giving the helicopter to the now magically rescued St John Hawke! IF you want to enjoy this show then under no circumstances should you watch the pathetic end season (aka Airwolf II) and stick with the original characters!
Cheaply produced, uses old aerial footage from original series, bad acting, the story falls apart as they kill off Dom and wound String in the first episode, rescue St John with amazing ease and insult every fan of the original series. If the original cast had remained this show might even have survived the budget cuts, alas it died a slow and very painful death at the hand of a cable tv company.

HD Tune — Transfer rates
HD Tune lets us look at transfer rates in a couple of different ways. We use the benchmark's "full test" setting, which tracks performance across the entire drive and lets us create the fancy line graphs you see below. This test was run with its default 64KB block size.
As you can see, we've painted our results in a rainbow of colors to make the graphs easier to interpret. In the bar graphs, drives are colored by manufacturer, with the m4 highlighted in bright red. The line graphs follow a similar color scheme with some additional shades to cover the multiple Intel and OCZ drives.
The m4 gets off to a good start by besting the 510 Series and nearly catching the Vertex 3 in HD Tune's read speed test. Sequential read performance is much improved over the old C300, which is nearly 70MB/s slower. Even the C300 is several times faster than our lone mechanical hard drive. Modern SSDs are in a whole other ballpark when it comes to performance.
Things get a little messy with writes, which cause transfer rates to oscillate wildly with some of the drives. The m4 is one of the erratic examples, although it's arguably not the worst offender. Overall, the drive's sequential write average is only 24MB/s faster than the C300's. Intel and OCZ occupy the top three spots, leaving Crucial off the podium.
As you can see, our mechanical hard drive is much more competitive with sequential writes than it is with reads. The m4 still offers twice the throughput of the Spinpoint, though.
HD Tune's burst speed tests are meant to isolate a drive's cache memory.
As long as you're reading from it, the m4's cache is very fast. Only the Vertex 3 scores higher in this test, although that particular drive is a cacheless design that's probably bursting from buffers built into the controller.
Switch to writes, and the m4 tumbles down the standings. Forget competing with the Intel 510 Series and Vertex 3, the m4 isn't even close to keeping up with the C300. Or the Spinpoint.

Investigators have ruled out foul play in the death of a 21-year-old Redwood Falls native found dead in a dorm room at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology last week. Brian Anderson was a junior at MIT and a member of the wrestling team. He was found dead in his room at around noon last Monday. Authorities say the death does not appear suspicious, and school officials also quickly dismissed the possibility that Anderson had killed himself. Two MIT students have committed suicide this school year. Autopsy results on Anderson are still pending. His funeral took place on Saturday in Belview.

Was not able to stay here due to pet policy which is hidden 4 links into the hotel's information. Confirmation email said available at extra charge which I was okay with but they wouldn't budge AND they still charged Hotels.com and I. Property was a mess, under construction, and nearly impossible to go get to. Fortunately Hotels.com promptly issued my refund as soon as I saw it on my credit card account and will hash out the details with the property. Otherwise liked what little I got to see of Nicholasville.
Won't stay there again
The staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The motel is dated but clean.
The staff was fantastic, the hotel was clean, two nice little restaurants with convenience store next door.
People were very nice
