Since oxycodone is an opiate drug, it has the same inherent dangers as the morphine, codeine, heroin, and hydrocodone. All opiates are highly addictive and.
Since oxycodone is highly addictive, tolerance can build up over time. When higher doses of the medication are necessary to treat pain or provide the same feelings of euphoria and relaxation that lead to addiction, the risk of overdosing is increased. An overdose can lead to serious complications and death if it is not treated immediay.

The shingles patients most likely to develop postherpetic neuralgia are those who are older, who have a more extensive rash, or who have severe pain during the initial illness. That's a big reason why initial pain treatment may be so crucial, Dworkin said.
In addition to Dworkin, other authors include, from Rochester, Richard Barbano, Karl Kieburtz and Cornelia Kamp of Neurology; Robert Betts of Medicine; Janet Pennella-Vaughan of Anesthesiology; and Michael McDermott and Carrie Irvine of the Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology.
In 2007 he also led an international group of scientists who came out with the first international treatment guidelines for neuropathic pain.

Respiratory depression, hypotension, profound sedation, or coma may occur with other CNS depressants (eg, sedatives, hypnotics, general anesthetics, antiemetics, phenothiazines, tranquilizers, alcohol, other opioids); use with caution and in reduced dosages. May enhance neuromuscular blocking action of skeletal muscle relaxants and increase respiratory depression. Mixed agonist/antagonist analgesics (pentazocine, nalbuphine, butorphanol, buprenorphine) may reduce the analgesic effect and/or precipitate withdrawal symptoms; do not coadminister.

The following information includes only the average doses of citalopram. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor ls you to do so. The number of tablets that you take depends on the strength of the medicine.
Breast-feeding- Oxycodone may cause addiction and withdrawal symptoms, difficulty breathing, and sedation in a nursing infant.
Opioids are medications that relieve pain. They reduce the intensity of pain signals reaching the brain and affect those brain areas controlling emotion, which diminishes the effects of a painful stimulus. Medications that fall within this class include hydrocodone (e.g., Vicodin.
In addition to their painrelieving properties, some of these drugs—codeine and diphenoxylate (Lomotil) for example—can be used to relieve coughs and severe diarrhea. Codeine, on the other hand, is often prescribed for mild pain. Opioids are medications that relieve pain. Medications that fall within this class include hydrocodone (e.g., Vicodin), oxycodone (e.g., OxyContin, Percocet), morphine (e.g., Kadian, Avinza), codeine, and related drugs. Morphine is often used before and after surgical procedures to alleviate severe pain. They reduce the intensity of pain signals reaching the brain and affect those brain areas controlling emotion, which diminishes the effects of a painful stimulus. Hydrocodone products are the most commonly prescribed for a variety of painful conditions, including dental and injury-related pain.

"The Art of Intrusion: The real stories behind the exploits of Hackers, Intruders, and Deceivers" Kevin Mitnick, et al.
– This book had many interesting stories about the various exploits of (mostly anonymous) hackers, con artists, and intelligent deceptive people in general. What I found much more interesting however is Mitnick's personal take on the various exploits. The book hardly ever actually mentions his own experience in the realm of hacking( An area in which I do very much admire his notorious works), and instead speaks with the tone of a hacker, but a much more grown up, reformed hacker. Throughout various chapters in the book, it becomes apparent the publishers choose Mitnick,(Or at least agreed to finance his project) without a definitive clause stipulating whether he had to be an advocate or adversary of the people mentioned. Many times he calls them intelligent. At others, he insults them for using elementary tactics and lacking real skill. He includes segments on proper security protocols to mitigate a range of attacks, with insights ranging from how to prevent social engineering, to proper network configuration and architecture.
Information Security: Practices and Principles" Mark Stamp, et al.
– Very good book in terms of read especially for a topic that is usually both very hard to comprehend and boring for the average reader. The book covers a broad range of topics related to the field of computer security and delves into a rather deep segment on cryptography including biometric security systems and the current statistics in regards to their effectiveness. Probably the most useful of the books I have read, Information Security not only provides coverage of a wide range of fields, but does so in an efficient enough manner that the reader gets a relatively in-depth grasp of the math behind much of the applications in progress, current practices and protocols in information security, and questions that have yet to be answered.
"Computer Security Managment" Donn B.Parker.
– Computer Security Management is a text aimed more directly at people who either work as business executives and need help determining how to manage their various IT departments. It could also be thought of as a supplementary text pr brief introduction into what IT personnel should and should not do in order to optimize security. The segment on what companies should consider "secret information" and what should be declassified made for an interesting and informative read. The section of computer forensics and asset recovery also provided insight into an area of computer security I am not all that acquainted with(more so the asset recovery). The book takes a very firm stance that a rigid "militaristic type approach" be implemented in regards to job titles and their associated privileges. It also goes in-depth into what personnel type is most likely to commit what type of attack along with preemptive detection techniques and security practices that would stop these potential attacks. This section was most useful in that, it was about thwarting an attack rather than covering areas in which I have a larger library of knowledge such as common attacks and programs.
"Reconfiguring the Firewall: Carol J Burger et al."
– The title of the book if taken alone, would be a bad indication of what the actual information within the novel is about. Although not directly related to any of my associated topics of research, the book presented a fundamental flaw in today's world of computer security, a relatively large one at that. It does this by depicting (In detail) a grouping of theories and statistical information on why women do not enter the IT fields. Multiple minds are usually better than one, and most well developed think tanks utilize differing mindsets and personality types, without the perspective of women, a large piece of the defensive puzzle goes missing.

To sum up, I think that cash doesn't always acquire happiness, but it's not website that writes essays signified that money cannot brings happiness. On the opposite palm, I really do consider that cash might additionally provide a whole lot of happiness. Therefore cash is actually in no way a wellspring of well-being. Hence, wealth can't bring well-being. Money, certainly, does buy tons of really real well-being. It can increase the quality of life. Well-Being from cash is rather brief. I'm declaring Money actually isn't the generator of well-being.

Notice posted - June 25 2017
Our thanks to everyone who organized and supported our tennis fun day, which raised £400 for tennis promotion among young people in Malawi. Joseph Clayton, a former Norham Gardens junior, managed over 40 enthusiastic players with unflappable style. There were round robin tournaments for adults and juniors, as well a quiz on Malawi, and of course lots of tea and cakes, most of which seemed to be consumed by the juniors.
Joseph has written:
"Thank you to everyone who came down to the fundraising tournament on Sunday - the turnout was brilliant and we managed to raise a total of over £450! Thank you also to those who couldn't attend but contributed anyway - really kind of you. The money will be spent on bicycles for the coaches at Play Malawi, so they have a sustainable and flexible means of getting around town to run coaching and education sessions. Many of the schools they work with are not on bus routes, which means walks of up to 15km in a day, so the bicycles will make a big difference to the organisation. Their coordinator wants me to pass this message on to you:
On behalf of Play Malawi staff and on behalf of the children we all seek to serve, I would like to express our thankfulness to you Joseph and everyone at Norham Gardens Lawn Tennis Club that took part in the fundraising event for Play Malawi.
The support has been received with excitement and will help to fill the gap we have in our work of serving children in schools.
God bless you all!
With thanks,
Gracian Mkandawire

I have a multi threaded backend that generates some excel data and other assundry things. To this end I have a flex app that acts as a front end input into that system.
Here is the run down of the system that is currently in opperation:
At login from the flex application I get a RemoteObject from the system using webOrb's object system. That in turn makes an ipc call to an app server which starts an application. This newly started application the "Session" exposes an ipc channel with some remoted objects.
The class WebClient (the remote object created by flex) retrieves the remoted objects from the "Session" and returns out.
The Flex app then uses the webclient to access the "Session".
Now pulling data and setting data is a simple process of calling methods and handling the async token.. super.
How can I have the WebClient invoke a method on the flex side of the world.
In .net I use a multi cast delegate that I serialize across the tcp / ipc channel. Is ther an equivalent type of sytem for flash remoting?
I've been hunting around for about a day now, not really sure which direction I need to go in. Any help in this would be fantastic.
I have the same question

Well if anyone is interested I think this solution may work, please correct me if I am missing something.
These will be my objects:
Flex Client
WebClient (asp.net w/ web orb)
ApplicationHandler (asp.net implements IConnection)
AppServer (c# ipc remote channel)
Session (c# backend engine)
1: Login the flex client creates a remote object, call and handle method init for the web client
2: Web client init opens an ipc channel and sends a message to the app server to start an instance of the session
3: Session marshals out an event broadcaster and the session interface
4: Web client grabs the session interface object and returns out (sending the async back to the flex client)
5: Flex Client callback for init creates a net connection with the app handler object
6: App handler object grabs the session's event broadcaster
any time the flex client does an action that requires a multi threaded action
1: use the web client data store methodology to send the reqeust to the session
2: session creates thread and broadcasts a start message
3: app handler recieves start message and sends the message to the flex app
4: progress update from the threads on the session send through the handler to the flex app
5: Session sends finish mesage
6: flex app recieves finish through app handler and kills the progress dialog via the popup manager.
does that sound like a good solution?

Sir Tim Berners-Lee, who created the web to help scientists working at the European research lab at Cern. He says the secret of the rapid success of his invention was the fact he made it freely available.
Not all inventors are driven to make money but some want to make a contribution to the "common good", says Dr Tilly Blyth, Keeper of Engineering and Technology at the Science Museum.
"We tend to focus on the commercial development but in fact its often public and government research that has got it to that stage," Dr Blyth says. "If you look at the iPhone you think it's a great invention from Steve Jobs and Apple but look at the vital components like the screen, the chip and the processor and their origins were all in government-funded research."
"A lot of the real cutting-edge research comes from the pure and blue sky thinking done in public research facilities for the good of humanity rather than to make money."

Well, it's been a month since I last updated the blog, so we certainly have some progress to show! We insulated our walls and ceiling, installed our drywall, painted our walls and are now working on the bathroom.
Insulation is not a very glamorous or enjoyable job. However, it was neat to walk into our house once the insulation was finished, our house is now quiet and warm- a new experience for us!
Since the wheel wells are inside our house, we had to build insulated boxes around them. One side will be completely hidden within our kitchen cabinets, the other side will be more of a foot rest while sitting at our kitchen bar (shown above).
We thought insulation was a pain… well that is only because we hadn't yet installed drywall In our initial design we had planned to have shiplap siding painted white for our internal walls. However, after further thought, we decided the seams between each board would create walls a bit more busy that we wanted. After researching (and confirming) drywall is a realistic option for our tiny house, we ended up going with ultra-light 1/2 inch drywall and we are really happy with how it turned out.
Below you can see we still have exposed insulation below the short loft. We are creating a barn wood accent wall for this portion of the wall.
The wall color we ended up choosing is called Honey Milk. White walls with the dark wood accents create the clean, yet warm look we were hoping for.
Installing two of our kitchen lights. And if you closely you can see on the right our bathroom wall which is our alder wood installed horizontally and then painted for another accent wall in our kitchen.
We may have insulated a bit too well 🙂 Even when its single digits outside our house is super cozy inside and when working we often are opening up a window or two. Thankfully our house is warm and we have a lot of windows that can open!
And just because the first snow of the season is always awesome…
We are now working on installing the shower. The pan is built up about 8 inches off of the ground to allow for our grey water piping. The walls will be built with corrugated metal so we installed Tyvek paper behind for any condensation that may occur with the metal.
The corrugated metal! As you can see the rest of our bathroom walls have not been finished. We are finishing these walls with wood (vs. drywall) and will finish them after the shower.
Up next…
We are finishing up the shower and then we can finalize our plumbing. The next week we are hoping to built the stairs to the loft and start working on our kitchen cabinets!

I began this blog in July 2015 when, on completing my MA, I embarked on a journey that would take me from my home in the UK to Buenos Aires in Argentina, by way of Iceland, British Columbia, Washinghton, Oregon, California, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. I decided that such a journey probably warranted a few notes on my experiences and impressions of the places I visited and people I encountered along the way.
I subsequently found myself in Nicaragua for a few months, and have most recently picked up the Trail again on the totally opposite side of the world: Japan.
You are most welcome to join me on my Trina Trail, wheresoever it may lead. I shall always attempt to make updates as readable as possible, chock full of amusing anecdotes and descriptions for your entertainment and delight. Enjoy!

Hey TWIST girls!
Last week, we headed to the set of Step Up 3D in NYC! And we'll be the first to tell you -- it's going to be awesome!
First, the dancing is beyond amazing! They totally stepped it up (HA!) for this movie -- did we mention it's in 3D?! And you'll see a couple faces returning from the Step Up and Step Up 2: The Streets!
Coming back are Alyson Stoner (she was in the first one!) and Adam Sevani -- he's back as Moose! Also starring in the flick are newcomers Rick Malambri and Sharni Vinson -- they play each other's love interest! Basically, Rick's character is Luke, the leader of one dancing crew that is trying to recruit Moose, and win the World Jam dancing competition.
Unfortch, the flick isn't schedule to hit theaters until August 2010, but we know it's worth the wait! While on set, TWIST got a sneak peek at the 3D graphics for one of the big dance battles in the flick -- we were totally blown away! Plus, the flick was shot at about 70 locations in NYC. AND Step Up 3D will have more dance scenes than the previous two flicks!
Well, that's about all we can say about the movie for now, but stay tuned to future issues of TWIST and TWISTmagazine.com for the WHOLE Step Up 3D scoop!
Let's talk, are you interested in the third flick? Do you think you'll go see it in theaters next year? Give us your thoughts in the comments!
Hugs, Kourt

the other end of the penBehind the stories in The Fraser Canyon Express
Racism in Rural BC
The article I recently published about prejudice was a hard one to write. I had to share some personal stories and that's a difficult thing to do for me. I am private and usually am very uncomfortable talking about myself and where I come from. It's not that I have anything to hide but I have always felt "if they don't ask, they don't want to know." OK , so I grew up poor, and ended up in foster care from the age of 10 until I went out on my own at 17. I have never felt that those early experiences had a negative effect on my life, quite the opposite in fact. I feel I have a deep understanding of the difference between need and want. I have been empowered by my experiences; I have a unique ability to relate to others regardless of who they are or where they come from. I hope I have been able to pass that legacy on to my kids.
You may ask what motivated me to write such an article. Indeed the catalyst was my kids, as usual . I see the girls at the high school looking disdainfully at other girls and judging their "worth", based on the value of their clothes. I see the kids at the elementary school laughing at the other kids' cheap shoes, and being young and without tact, remarking that theirs were $150 bucks. I see parents choosing their kids' friends based on their socio-economic status. It's not right; it breeds elitist attitudes among the kids and leads directly to bullying.
It's not right and it has to stop, but it will only happen if parents open their eyes and nip it in the bud at home.

The International Colonial Court at it again,,,are the judges not ashamed that the bulk of their cases only involve African countries…you call it justice I hear you,,even Kapenguria six cases and that of Nelson Mandela was about "justice"
Gathoni, u are ignorant of the ICC, stop talking gabbage here!
Oludavin., i couldnt have said it better..,
Oludavan, Daggiefresh & co. Gathoni is right. Israel is killing Palestinians every other day, America Invaded Iraq and killed thousands of pple at the end of the killings they were unable to show us the weapons of Mass destruction, the most recent one is Syria,events there are not different from Libya but a warrant of Arrest already out for Gadaffi and not the President of Syria. ICC is very selective and biased.
True that! And I still await ICC indictments for Libyan REBELS for embarking on a systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing against black Africans and ethnic black Libyans
U.S. and Israel never signed the Rome Statute so they are not under the ICC's jurisdiction. Besides, there is a VERY big difference between what the U.S. did in Iraq and what these Kenyan officials are being charged with. The U.S. overthrew an evil dictator (that slaughtered his own people) based on false intelligence, whereas some of these Kenyan officials orchestrated a rampage of criminals to murder innocent civilians in various parts of the country. Couple that with the fact that in the U.S. we are constantly holding our politicians feet to the fire. In Kenya, there is impunity. They NEED the ICC to finally feel a sense of justice.
How can you compare Israel's actions to these atrocities in Kenya too? Israel is constantly having to defend itself being surrounded by people that despire that nation.
Its coz of the African stupidity that the ICC is a good dose for them. I hope these arrogant 3 frys in their own stew.
Gathoni stop being tribal the court is fighting impunity in Africa.we know. who your. ihero is
and he must answer to the honorable court.
Impunity does not start and end with the leaders. it starts with the ordinary pple. Failing to to relocate from the pipeline in impunity, breaking traffic rules is impunity, so many of these small wrong things that are done by ordinary persons amounts to impunity, will ICC help us here?

Doctors, nurses and other hospital staff often work their whole lives saving others. They usually work more than 8 hours a day (sometimes, even 12 hours) but despite all these, they are often underappreciated. Although in the movies and TV shows / series being a nurse looks easy, in real-life, nurses have it tough.
The shifts are long and physically demanding; they have to learn a ton of medical knowledge and skills and apply it to everyday situations, because sometimes even a fraction of a second can make the difference between life and *****.
Being a nurse is both physically and emotionally draining, and in-between their tough everyday battle and hardwork in the hospital, all they expect in return, aside from seeing their patients well and healthy again, is a small "Thank You" from the people they save and protect. While others say thanks or give gifts of gratitude, most patients (and their families), are thankful but keep to themselves. But one parent took to Facebook to thank the nurse that took care of her ******-stricken daughter – everyone loved it and the note has gone viral.
It all started when Shelby's daughter Sophie started having health problems. At first, Shelby and her husband Jonathan thought that it was a simple asthma attack. Sophie's doctor also thought so, and gave them meds for that.
But one day, Sophie stopped breathing. This prompted the couple to bring their little girl to the hospital. That was when the devastating news was revealed to them. Sophie was apparently suffering from something much worse than asthma and allergies. She had developed T-cell lymphoma. ******.
From then on, Sophie has spent months in hospital going through chemotherapy.
During this rough time, Shelby was always grateful to her daughter's nurse, doctors, and hospital staff—but never got the chance to thank them all. So she took to Facebook to write a beautiful, touching and heartwarming letter on the Facebook page Sophie the Brave, and the note has gone viral with over 50,000 reactions and over 25,000 shares.
Here's her message:
"Dear Peds Nurses (and incredible nurse techs!). I see you. I sit on this couch all day long and, I see you. You try so hard to be unnoticed by me and my child. I see your face drop a little when she sees you and cries. You try so many ways to ease her fears and win her over. I see you hesitate to stick her or pull band-aids off. You say 'No owies' and 'I'm sorry' more times in one day than most people say 'thank you.'
"I see you using your phone as a template to paint the perfect cartoon character on the new kid's window. I see you cheering so enthusiastically for the kid taking laps around the nurses station. I see you with that Nerf gun hiding from the kid around the corner. I see you hold tiny hands, change dirty sheets, translate medical talk for parents, and wipe your eyes coming out of a particularly hard room. I see you put on gloves, masks, and a gown, then pause before you hang an IV bag of poison chemo for my kid.
"You put aside what's happening in your life for 12 hours straight to care for very sick and something's dying children. You go into each room with a smile no matter what's happening in there. You see Sophie's name on the schedule and come to check on us even when she isn't your patient. You call the doctor, blood bank, and pharmacy as many times as necessary to get my child what she needs in a timely manner. You check on me as often as you check on her. You sit and listen to me ramble for 10 minutes even though your phone is buzzing and your to do list is a mile long."
"I see you. We all see you. No amount of snack baskets or cards can fully express how appreciated you are. You are Jesus to us every single day. Our children wouldn't get what they need without you. Moms like me wouldn't feel sane or heard without you. You save our babies and we couldn't do this without you."
Kudos to all the nurses, doctors and hospital staff out there who make a difference every day! Share this touching tribute to all those who've dedicated their lives to making a difference!

the boat
the moon as the sun sets on the mountains

hangin' out in the shade
mountain sheep!
ashton and i went to lake powell for the first time this weekend. it was so fun! we went with our friends brian, mike, megan, brielle, louis, and bonnie. we docked the boat on the beach and spent 3 nights and four days camping there. the first night was really hot, the second night there was a storm and we experienced the joys of a collapsing tent in the wind. awaking with a tent pole slapping you in the head is never fun :) but the last night was perfect. we went on a hike up a canyon that we had to drive the boat up until it became so narrow that we had to wedge it between the 2 canyon walls, then jump off and swim the rest of the way. it was really pretty! but we did have to jump in and swim through water with dead things floating in it.... and some water that was completely black and nasty. at the start i was wearing white shorts and by the end there were grey :P it was a little freaky, but way cool! i can't wait to do it again next year.

There's a vast amount of choice out there in the UK Horse Racing & Sports Betting market so it's often difficult to choose the site that's right for you. This is especially the case if you haven't had much experience of these sites before. Many of our readers report that the wide range of promotions and joining bonuses on offer at many of the sites we have reviewed make it even more difficult to assess which site actually offers the best deal as they obscure the benefits that can be obtained after the initial joining period. Our buying guide, along with our trademark extensive expert reviews into what's on offer in this market, helps you choose between the big players in this category.
What is Online Sports Betting?
Simply put, online sports betting and horse racing sites provide all of the same services that regular high street betting shops and bookmakers provide. These sites, as with their "bricks and mortar" counterparts, provide players with information about entrants in particular events, odds on bets on those events and later, up-to-date information on which entrants won which races. What makes these sites different from regular high street bookmakers is the sheer level of convenience that users of these sites enjoy, along with their general ease of use.
In addition, many users who wouldn't feel comfortable attending a bookmaker's in person enjoy making use of the services these sites offer. As well as all of these features, online sports betting and horse racing sites provide users with loads of promotions, bonuses and special events that keep them coming back for more – so it's also a great way to make your gambling money go a little further.
Main Features
Our in-depth reviews give you an idea of what you can expect at the biggest and most popular sites and services in this category. The exact range of features and promotions varies considerably from site to site, so the following list helps set out the most important ones to look out for:
1) Event Coverage
One of the most important features of any online sports betting site is its coverage of sporting events in the UK and beyond. The sheer number of sports that users can place bets on means that it's not always possible to get odds on every single sport, but users should reasonably expect all major sports to be covered including football, hockey, basketball, golf, horseracing, rugby and many more. As well as sporting bets, a number of sites offer "special bets" on political, social and cultural events – such as the birth of the next member of the Royal Family or the election of a new Prime Minister – which can add an additional element of fun to membership of these sites.
2) Promotions, Joining Bonuses & Special Plays
One of the most popular elements of online gambling sites is the wide range of promotions and bonuses that users can take advantage of. These promotions give players the chance to place free bets on many major sporting events, pick up big bonuses when they deposit funds with the site and also benefit from special plays and frequent "special events" when major sporting events (such as the Grand National or FA Cup Final, for example) take place.
3) Additional Games & Features
Many of the services we have reviewed in this category are part of wider networks of gaming and gambling sites that offer a wide range of different opportunities to spend (and hopefully win) money. Users should look out for sites that offer the chance to play a range of supplementary games, such as casino games, poker, bingo, online scratchcards and more. These can be played without the need to open a new account or add additional funds, and these can often help with a spot of "instant gratification" when sporting events aren't taking place.
4) Customer Support & Gambling Awareness
Although by no means the most exciting features to consider when choosing an online gambling and sports betting site, effective customer service features are essential in ensuring that any problems that may arise are dealt with quickly and efficiently. Look out for services that provide user support by email, phone, chat and FAQs to ensure problems are dealt with as quickly as possible. Users should also look out for sites that offer gambling awareness and gambling addiction prevention tools and functions, such as betting limitations, notifications and warnings.
Safety & Security in Online Gambling
As with many online activities there's always a slight risk that users may encounter some security problems when gambling online. All of the sites we have reviewed in this category have adopted industry-standard security and privacy tools and procedures to ensure the best possible standard of safety throughout. Although, as always, we're confident that, for the most part, users won't encounter any problems at all when using these sites, anyone who is concerned about security can check out user forums and message boards for information on those sites that are widely known to have a few more security problems than most.
The Bottom Line
The most important factors to look out for when you're choosing a site in this category are ease of use (especially if you're new to online gambling) and value for money. Look out, in particular, for those sites that offer users extensive promotions and bonuses that help your money go a little further. Also look out for sites that offer additional features, special games and seasonal event-based promotions as these help to keep membership of a particular site more interesting. Finally, if you're a little confused by some of the terminology used, you can always check out our glossary of terms for more information, too.

A meal or a drink near to a naturist beach or pool. If we get on we should take a swim together.
First date could be a coffee shop meet and greet; this being safe for both.
Date could be dinner in a quieter place so we can connect and possibly an activity after like a stroll in a park.
Open to anything. Just a casual first meet, coffee, lunch? then maybe onto nudist beach depending on the weather
Bonjour faire des rencontres dans la région
Probably something low key and easy like coffee or a walk, although willing to meet buff somewhere if my partner wants to.
well I am working on getting my license use to living in a small town that has all you need just a jump away with a cab company in it and not charge a arm and a leg just to get a round you know what i am saying.
For me a simple casual meeting at a coffee or tea house something low stress where one can talk and get to know another person
how about we go 2 a nice cafe then go 2 one of the local theaters
A hike to the hot springs. But meeting for coffee is fine too.
maybe a coffee, a Dinner, going out for some drinks!
A coffee and a chat would probably be a good start
coffee and conversation
I think we should meet some public place, like a cafe or pub, chat, get to know each other better, maybe go for a walk together after.

I just finished watching on my DVR the 2006 Scripps National Spelling Bee. It was aired Live for the first time in Primetime on ABC. Last year I believe they showed the taped version on ESPN. People argued that it isn't a sport, but hell, I saw more sweat on these contestants than I did watching the Winter Olympic's Curling Finals. Anyway, forgetting that all these contestants were probably kids I would have made fun of in junior high, mostly because of my jealousy toward their gigantic brains, they really impressed me. But most surprising was the choice of the words used for these final rounds. The first one I found intriguing was knaidel. Yup, the dumpling my grandma used to put in her chicken soup. This word is derived from Hebrew.
A mere three words later the word gematrial came up. Certainly the contestant Kavya Shivashankar never learned advanced Gemara or he would have known that the correct spelling is also from Hebrew and not spelled gematriol.
Four words later Saryn Hooks came to the mic. Her word, are you ready for this, was hechsher. Hechsher is the formal granting of certification, usually by an authorized rabbi, that a product is certified as kosher. Are you f-ing kidding me?! Its a shame the Lubavitcher from South Carolina that was in this year's bee didn't make it to the final round. She would have had clear sailing. Saryn, my personal favorite, correctly spelled the word but the judges had it down as being spelled hechscher. With a sch at the end. So they dinged the little bell and the surprised Saryn dejectedly sat down with her folks. After the next commercial the head judge Mary Brooks made an annoucement that Saryn had in fact spelled the word correctly. Their sch spelling was a mistake. Phew! I felt like if I wasn't able to spell that word correctly I couldn't be an Orthodox Jew. Thank goodness they were mistaken and Saryn and I were both correct. 2 rounds and 17 words later the final Hebrew word made its appearance in the bee. The word was yizkor, the prayer or prayer service held in memory of the dead. This was easily handled by some Indian dude. Lets hear it for dictionary memorization!
The spelling bee was finally won by Kerry Close of New Jersey. A surprisingly non-nerdy girl. Her finally word was Ursprache. What the hell does that mean? I can't wait til next year. I have a feeling I'll be seeing many Chinese kids carrying around Hebrew prayerbooks boning for next year's bee. If they're smart at least they will...

Policymakers are slowly coming to terms with what addiction experts have known for some time. The United States is in the midst of a heroin and prescription drug epidemic, one that is wreaking havoc in small towns and big cities alike. More than 100 people die in this country every day as a result of a drug overdose. In fact, deaths from drug overdoses have increased five-fold since 1980, outnumbering deaths from car crashes for the first time in U.S. history.
We all know that addiction is an equal opportunity disease, one that touches every family in some way. More than 20 million Americans are living with an addiction to drugs or alcohol.
Progress has been made in recent years. Treatment is a core benefit covered in the Affordable Care Act and as more people receive insurance coverage in the coming years, one significant hurdle to receiving treatment will be addressed. The historic Excellence in Mental Health Act was just signed into law and it will make mental health services, including addiction treatment, available for an estimated 240,000 additional people.
But other challenges remain. There simply are not enough treatment providers to meet the current need, let alone the increased demand that may be coming. After years of budget cuts, the safety net of services that so many Americans depend on is severely weakened. It is time to rebuild that safety net, before the situation gets any worse.
Good people disagree on how best to spend taxpayer dollars, especially when it comes to government spending for social services. But when it comes to addiction treatment, the answer seems clear. Untreated addictions are estimated to cost $365 billion every year in terms of related health care costs, lost work productivity and crime. Investing in treatment is not only good health policy; it is good fiscal policy.
While there is no easy solution when it comes to treating addictions, policymakers in Washington have some good options under consideration. Advocates for expanding addiction treatment have asked the president and Congress to increase funding for the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant Program. After years of budget cuts, this essential program has received additional funding in the past two budgets, which has supported many important initiatives including employment and housing assistance, case management, school-based support services, family and parenting education, and peer support. Yet, with many states still experiencing budget challenges, it is essential that Washington find a way to increase funding to meet the growing demand for addiction treatment services.
Just as this nation launched national campaigns to promote seat-belts and reduce smoking, we need a sustained, comprehensive effort to make treatment available to all who need it. I urge policymakers in Washington to support the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant Program. Let's turn the tide together.

Travel to Himachal Pradesh and come to Dharamshala, where the winds of change are rushing to shatter its quiet calm. The term Dharamashala means 'The Holy Refuge' and this scenic town is roosted in the Kangra valley and belongs to the group of the 80 hills that were developed by the British to help them fight the dust and sweltering sun.
This home of the present Dalai Lama is a scenic hill station located at an altitude of 4,550 ft above sea level, this small petite beauty is located at a very convenient distance from the Kangra valley and the beauteous McLeodganj. Divided into two parts as Upper Dharamshala and Lower Dharamshala, here you will see hills, bungalows, churches, monasteries and cantonment. Surrounded by the mighty Dhauladhar mountains, Dharamshala has an incomparable distinction of being the chosen home of the spiritual and temporal head of the Tibetan people.
Dharamsala over looks the plains and is surrounded by dense pine trees and Deodar forests. A nearby snow line with numerous streams and cool healthy atmosphere makes the surroundings very attractive. Spend a vacation in this cocktail of Tibetan and Kangra culture with a tinge of colonial origin, that makes this destination, the sweetheart favorite of the tourists. Enjoy a holiday that you had always dreamt of, but had never endeavored.
Dharamshala's Attractions
Among the primed Deodar and Pine covered hillocks, where nature has used its brush to add the colorful strokes of life, there is no dearth of attractions. This Indian hill settlement is a traveler;s delight, where in the lower part is the Kotwali Bazaar, while the upper part for the town is more residential. Elegant bungalows and the cantonment greets the tourist. This is a place where short walks are the best way to explore the lush and greens of Dharamshala. Enjoy a trip to Himachal Pradesh to see the most famous attractions of Dharamshala.
Fame finds it way to the Namgyal Monastery near Dharamshala, where resides the 14th Dalai Lama. Thousands of people beat their path to visit this monastery, which has been the centre of Buddhist pilgrim for the past four decades. A visit to the this monastery, posing in the Center of Tibetan Studies is nothing but mandatory. 'Tsuglagkhang', opposite the Dalai Lama's residence, will remind you of Lhasa as it contains large gilded bronzes of the Buddha, Avalokiteswara and Padmasambhava.

Here you should see the giant statue of Buddha, Thankas and other ritual and consecrated subjects.

Here you should visit the St. John's Church, that holds the Viceroy Lord Elgin's Memorial. This church has some beautiful stained glasses that mustn't be missed.

A question for the city
Does anyone have the answer to the question, "Where is the money coming from to replace the miles and miles of sidewalks and curbs that are being replaced or put in new?" We have seen perfectly good concrete dug out and new put in.
The suspicion of a lot of citizens is: It's from the "tax" voters approved for streets that are still disgraceful. In other words: we've been "taken for a ride again". Any solutions out there?
Joan Neugebauer
Colorado Springs
Why replace sidewalks, curbs?
There are several reasons why curb and gutter need to be replaced before any road is repaved or improved. First, the Americans with Disabilities Act requires that before any improvements are made to a stretch of road, pedestrian ramps and sidewalks must be brought up to ADA standards.
"Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that state and local governments ensure that persons with disabilities have access to the pedestrian routes in the public right of way. An important part of this requirement is the obligation whenever streets, roadways, or highways are altered to provide curb ramps where street level pedestrian walkways cross curbs. This requirement is intended to ensure the accessibility and usability of the pedestrian walkway for persons with disabilities".
You can read the full explanation from the Department of Justice/Department of Transportation here: https://www.ada.gov/doj-fhwa-ta.htm.
The second reason curb and gutter is replaced prior to roadway repair, is to correct cracks and imperfections that could allow moisture to seep under the new construction. This moisture, if allowed to compromise the new construction, will create premature cracking and distress to the asphalt. The city of Colorado Springs is committed to ensuring all roadway work is done in a cost-effective and efficient manner. For this reason, ensuring the integrity of adjacent concrete is vital to the longevity of road improvements.
A third reason for concrete replacement is to correct drainage issues. As concrete settles it can lead to low areas that pond water, which can also lead to premature failure of roadways. It can also promote localized flooding which is a safety issue during the rainy season.

More info on bighorn sheep move
Byron Layman really needs to educate himself on wildlife topics before he writes. Colorado Parks and Wildlife relocates Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep "usually" for one of three reasons:
- The current herd has grown too large and some are relocated to decrease the chances of disease within the population (usually Lungworm Disease which can be fatal).
- Several of the large herd are relocated to establish a new herd in an habitat that is a good match.
- Some of the sheep are removed to add to the population of a dwindling herd.
The sheep removed from the herd near Garden of the Gods will not be hunted for a long time if ever.
Oh by the way, people should not be approaching these sheep or any wild animal for that matter, as domestication or disease will eventually sign their death warrant.
One other bit of info: It usually takes 20 or more years of applying for a sheep tag before one is drawn and after that you must attend a class on the sheep hunt before you are allowed to hunt. It's usually a "once in a lifetime" ordeal for someone in Colorado.
Bob Bentley
Behavior of society getting worse
I want to concur with Jim Hagan's and Jerry Murphy's letters of Feb. 6, and do some "piling on" to Tom Binnings' comments. Without Doug Bruce's TABOR act initiation, I fear spending by Colorado politicians would be as bad as California or the federal government. Our economics would be depressed by out-of-control spending - just consider CDOT as one example.
And as far as Focus on The Family goes, let me ask - who or what is establishing morality and ethics standards in our schools and society these days? Why does it appear that as God's lessons are taken out of the schools, the behavior of society is getting worse? Who is teaching them what is right or good? I fear the answer is "no one."
John Gallagher
Colorado Springs
Consider many more options
Instead of locking into an idea that the majority don't seem to want - a toll road - I would suggest that some other options be considered.
How about a high-occupancy vehicle lane (HOV) lane? That would encourage users to economize by doubling up and might cut down on the traffic in the other lanes and at the least would exclude trucks. Another idea that I have seen back east, is to designate a truck lane which leaves the other two lanes for cars only.
Or, without getting into a total control environment, how about tickets for obstructing flow for the seriously slow drivers that are the cause of much of the stop and go in the morning commute?
Just widening the emergency lane to enable immediate withdrawal of wrecks and breakdowns would really help smooth things out as well. The long back up after a simple two or three car fender bender is something that should be able to be resolved. Maybe a change in police procedures that keeps the officers from parking their vehicles in the active traffic lane after the obstruction has been removed?
In any case there are many more options to be considered before we start throwing tax money into one unpopular solution.
