Local Harm Reduction Teams throughout the East Kootenay have gathered material for The Compassion Project - an art show created for the purpose of sparking curiosity about values, beliefs and assumptions surrounding drug use in your community. The ultimate goal is to build compassion through increased awareness and understanding.
Community members who have volunteered to participate in the project had the opportunity to contribute a meaningful photo and were asked, "How do you want to be understood?" and "What is it like to be you?" The collection of stories, information and photos will come together to create an art exhibit that will be displayed in communities throughout the East Kootenay beginning in March of 2018.The spring events will be lead by Warren Hooley, an aboriginal facilitator and practicing artist, who is a member of the IndigenEYEZ leadership team. Warren will guide event participants through a series of activities with the intention of experiencing a felt sense of connection. Events will be held in:
What is Harm Reduction?
Posted on: 02-Nov-2016
Posted by EKASS | on
This article examines the Philosophy of Harm Reduction and was written by East Kootenay Addiction Services' Executive Director, Dean Nicholson. The article below does not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of East Kootenay Addiction Services.
With all the talk about the Fentanyl crisis, the term Harm Reduction is often raised as an approach to deal with the problem. Many people are unclear what Harm Reduction means and this article hopes to provide some clarification. Harm Reduction refers to an approach to dealing with substance abuse, where the primary focus is to reduce the harms associated with using substances, rather than the focus being on stopping the use of substances. This doesn't mean that stopping or reducing use is not a goal, just that it is not the first goal. Often Harm Reduction is associated with programs like needle exchanges or safe-injection sites; programs in which people continue to use substances but are encouraged to do so in safer ways. These are definitely Harm Reduction approaches but Harm Reduction casts a much wider net. Too often in the past Harm Reduction approaches were contrasted with Abstinence approaches, with the two approaches being seen as polar opposites and opposed in principle. From the Abstinence side, Harm Reduction was often characterized as supporting or encouraging substance use. For some people on the Abstinence side, people on an Opioid Replacement Program like Suboxone or Methadone (which is one of the best ways to support people to get off Fentanyl) could be criticized for still being addicts because they were still using a drug. In fact, Abstinence is also a Harm Reduction approach, as is responsible social drinking, as are needle exchanges.
A problem with the debate around Harm Reduction is that historically society's focus on drug and alcohol use as been on the behavior itself – on the using. If using is the problem, then not using is the solution. This is further entrenched by then making using illegal and with the consequence that users become criminals. A Law and Order approach, or a War on Drugs approach, is the natural outcome. In Canada, about 70% of all Federal dollars that go towards substance use problems, goes to the law enforcement side, including the RCMP, the courts and correctional services. Only 30% goes to prevention, education, treatment and research. Law and Order and Abstinence-only approaches limit the ways we can respond as a society.
Perhaps a good analogy is driving. We all know that one of the major causes of death in Canada is motor vehicle accidents. If we took a similar approach to driving deaths as we do to substance use, we would make all driving illegal, ban automobiles and motorbikes, and arrest and charge people caught using motor vehicles or involved in the production or sale of motor vehicles. Clearly this is not an approach that anyone would support, even though we could all agree we would like to reduce motor vehicle deaths. So what do we do? We create a wide range of Harm Reduction programs to try and reduce the likelihood of motor vehicle accidents while allowing people to continue driving. Programs like seat belt laws, graduated licensing systems for new drivers, standardized traffic rules, maximum speeds, improved car design etc. etc. We don't view driving as a criminal matter but as a public health concern and we create policies and programs accordingly. At the same time, we take a Law and Order approach to certain behaviours associated with risky driving, such as speeding or driving while impaired, but we accept that people are going to drive. Harm Reduction in the area of substance use is just the same. If we accept that people are going to use substances (and in any given year over 80% of Canadians 15 or over will use a substance) then it makes more sense to develop programs and approaches that discourage unhealthy use, encourage responsible use, and provide means for people who have more serious problems to reduce negative consequences so that they can hopefully be in a place to make healthier choices. At the same time, there is a role for a Law and Order approach in areas such as trafficking, unregulated drug production and inappropriate public use.
At East Kootenay Addiction Services, we view substance use, abuse and addiction as both a personal and a public health problem, rather than as a criminal problem. Our aim is to provide services that reduce the harms that use can cause, whether that is by supporting someone to quit using altogether, to use in a more responsible and less harmful way, or to help them improve other areas of their life that their use may be impacting. If we consider substance use as a personal and public health issue, then the goals for intervention can change, as can the types of interventions that are used. This is what Harm Reduction means and research shows that programs coming from this approach are more effective in creating overall healthy change for people using and for communities as a whole.
Addictions Treatment - Different options
Posted on: 13-Oct-2016
Posted by EKASS | on
This is the second of two articles regarding information about treatment -- what it is and what it isn't' and the different formats that describe treatment. The series is written by East Kootenay Addiction Services' Executive Director, Dean Nicholson. The article below does not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of East Kootenay Addiction Services.
As a new story seems to come out daily about the fentanyl problem and what's being done to address it, it would be understandable if many people were confused about what services and programs are available to assist people with substance use problems. This article will outline some of the major components and approaches to substance use treatment and how they relate to the current fentanyl problem.
Firstly, it must be said that not everyone who is experiencing a problem with substances such as alcohol, marijuana, cocaine or fentanyl is necessarily 'addicted' in the strict clinical term. Substance use falls along a continuum from 'no-use' through 'social use' through 'problematic use', and finally 'dependent or addicted use'. The type of services that could help will depend on where a person's use falls on the continuum and what changes they want to make.
Secondly, substance use problems are no longer viewed as a 'stand-alone' issue. It is generally recognized that most people who struggle with substance use problems also have other concerns, such as depression or anxiety, housing and financial problems, relationship problems etc. It is not enough to deal with the substance use; to make lasting change people often need support in a number of areas of their lives.
With this being said, what are the different components of substance use treatment? At East Kootenay Addictions Services (EKASS) we believe that treatment starts as soon as someone contacts us. Reaching out for help means treatment has begun. After that there are various services that a person could become involved with depending on their situation.
Withdrawal Management: Often referred to as 'detox' or a 'dry out center'. Withdrawal management assists people in the initial physical withdrawal that they may experience as they stop using substances. This could take place at home with outside support, in a withdrawal management center such as Ponderosa House in Cranbrook, or at a local hospital when other medical complications might be present. People are usually only in a withdrawal program for 5-10 days, depending on the substance, although some substances may take longer to taper off of. There is no cost for approved withdrawal management services.
Outpatient Counselling: Outpatient counselling is often the first type of treatment that people access. People are seen by a trained substance use counsellor who assists them in identifying the problems they are having, developing goals, implementing strategies and connecting them with other services that may be helpful. At EKASS we see people at our offices, but can also meet people at other locations if that is easier. There are no costs for people to access outpatient counselling at provincially funded mental health and substance use offices.
Residential Treatment Programs: This is what most people think of as 'treatment' although in reality it is just one type of service. Residential Programs can run from 6 weeks up to 3 months or more. The programs offer group counselling in a secure live-in environment. In B.C. some programs have been accredited and some have not. Being accredited means that the program has been thoroughly reviewed by an outside evaluator and that the treatment program, the facilities, the staff and the policies all meet an accepted level. All residential treatment programs have a cost for the user. If a residential program is run by an accredited not-for-profit society and has an agreement with the Ministry of Health, then a number of beds will be subsidized as $40.00 per day beds. People usually access these beds through a referral from an substance use counsellor. For people on Income Assistance the program costs are usually covered. Non-subsidized beds in not-for-profit programs typically run around $120.00 per day. People can access these beds without a referral from a substance use counsellor. Private for-profit residential programs can cost upwards of $15,000 per month. The philosophy of treatment at residential programs generally falls into one of two approaches: 12 Step Programs and Holistic Programs. The main difference between these approaches is the emphasis on the 12 Step or Minnesota Model of recovery. Both types of programs use group counselling as a primary counselling strategy. Aboriginal residential programs will usually include aboriginal healing practices as well. Helping people find the program that is the best match for them is part of what an substance use counsellor does when working with a client. Residential programs have waitlists, but these can vary from a few days to a number of months, depending on the program.
Harm Reduction Programming: In one sense all substance use programming aims to reduce the harms associated with using. In a more specific sense though, in relation to the fentanyl crisis this can refer to two types of programming: Opioid Replacement Programs and the Take Home Naloxone Program.
Opioid Replacement Programs: are programs that help someone get off of opioids like heroin, morphine, fentanyl etc, by replacing them with another opioid, such as Methadone or Suboxone. The purpose of going on Methadone or Suboxone is to prevent the person from going into withdrawal. Avoiding the pain and sickness associated with withdrawal from opioids is usually the primary reason people keep using. By having a regular dose of Methadone or Suboxone a person does not go into withdrawal and does not have to engage in the kinds of behaviours that will allow them to keep using. People are able to stabilize their lives and begin to work on changing other problem areas. When they are on the proper dose, people do not experience a 'high' from Methadone or Suboxone. There is a lot of monitoring that goes with the program. In the early stages people often have to get their medication each morning at a pharmacy. They will have meetings with the prescribing physician every two to four weeks, and they will be required to provide urine samples to show that they are not misusing other opioids. Despite some of the restrictions these requirements place on a person, research shows that people on an Opioid Replacement Program are less likely to relapse and go back to using. This means they are at less risk of overdose than people who try to quit opioids on their own. Furthermore, when people are maintained on an Opioid Replacement Program they are able to create stability in their lives and began working on other concerns to further improve their well-being. Although any doctor can prescribe Suboxone after a short on-line course, one of the biggest barriers for people getting on to an Opioid Replacement Program is the lack of prescribing doctors. At EKASS we operate a weekly Telehealth Clinic in which our clients have access to a prescribing doctor in Kamloops.
Take Home Naloxone Program: The Take Home Naloxone Program was developed in large part in response to the fentanyl crisis. Naloxone or Narcan is a drug that when taken helps to reverse an opioid overdose. Naloxone has been around for decades and has been used by paramedics and hospital emergency departments. In B.C. the Take Home Naloxone Program has sought to get Naloxone kits into the hands of people at risk for opioid overdose. Kits are available at a wide range of locations and eligible people can receive a free kit after taking part in a short training program. At EKASS we have been dispensing kits for nearly two years, and there are many other locations in the East Kootenay where people can receive free kits.

Rock Solid running for 10 East Kootenay schools during the fall of 2018 What is Rock Solid?
Rock Solid running for 10 East Kootenay schools during the fall of 2018
What is Rock Solid?
Rock Solid is a wilderness based prevention education program designed for students transitioning from elementary school to high school. The transition from elementary school to high school requires a different level of skill and independence. Research indicates that a student's positive experience in school and their larger community has a significant influence on lifelong learning, substance use patterns, social behaviours and health.
Rock Solid is a program that uses the theories of "Circle of Courage" and outdoor education to offer students the experience of knowing their strengths, personal limits, values and supports. Our goal is promote healthy personal development through physical challenges and social interaction.
Youth in the East Kootenay dramatically change their use patterns from no use to experimenting during their transition from grade 7 to 8 and 8 to 9. We also know many do not use substances. In knowing this we believe this transition period is an ideal time to introduce Rock Solid.
Rock Solid offers healthy connections, which are necessary when growing up safe. Students also have lots of fun and are reminded of the importance of substance free play.
The non-traditional setting of the outdoors, gives students the opportunity to know their personal strengths and meet community support people who can be a positive influence. The components of Rock Solid will increase students' knowledge of substances, personal and family strengths and community resources to keep healthy.
Where and when does Rock Solid run?
Rock Solid is coordinated by East Kootenay Addiction Services Society. It has 1-2 classroom sessions and 1 day-long outdoor session.
The program is offered to any middle/high school in the East Kootenay in collaboration with any of the three School Districts.
Any school interested in running Rock Solid, should contact Theresa Bartraw, Substance Use Prevention Coordinator at East Kootenay Addiction Services at 1-877-489-4344
East Kootenay Addictions Services runs similar professional development days for school staff teams.×

I have fallen in love with coconut. I guess I always knew that I loved the taste of the tropics but, in days past, I pretty much reserved it for those brightly coloured drinks I enjoyed in warmer climates. Over the past several months I've been experimenting and incorporating more and more coconut into my diet and I am hooked. Not only is it super delicious, it's good for you too. What else could you ask for?
Here are just a few of the reasons why I love coconut:
- Yes, coconut oil is a saturated fat. BUT it is also what is known as a medium chain triglyceride (or MCT), which the body metabolizes differently. Whereas long chain fatty acids (found in other vegetable oils and red meat) tend to deposit into the body's fat stores or as cholesterol in your blood vessels, MCT's are digested more rapidly, are sent directly to the liver and are used immediately as a fuel source. As such, they actually boost your metabolic rate and can even help with weight loss.
- Studies have shown that coconut oil can help increase nutrient absorption. Certain minerals (such as calcium and magnesium) and the fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) depend on fats for optimal absorption from the small intestine. Even if you eat foods rich in these nutrients, you could be deficient if you are not consuming enough healthy fats with them. As such, coconut oil can in fact help guard against chronic illnesses such as osteoporosis and cancer.
- As any fat will do, coconut oil will help stabilize your blood sugar and guard against the damaging effects of excess insulin, including belly fat, metabolic syndrome and Type II diabetes
- Coconut oil has been shown to increase your levels of HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol). HDL will shuttle LDL away from your artery walls, which reduces your risk of heart disease and stroke
- Smooth and silky skin and hair. You can slather it all over your skin after a shower or use it as a natural hair conditioner. Even eating it helps lubricate cells from the inside and helps make your skin softer than it's been in years.
So, how do you incorporate more coconut into your diet? Here are some of my favourite ways:
- Add a tablespoon of coconut oil to your smoothie; goes particularly well with bananas and mangoes
- Cook your rice in half water, half coconut milk for a delicious change from the same old side dish
- Use it to stirfry your veggies: as a saturated fat it has a high smoke point so it won't turn rancid at a high heat. This makes it ideal for cooking.
- Spread it on your toast or pancakes and sprinkle some cinnamon on top. Yum!
- Coconut water is an excellent source of electrolytes (especially potassium) which is great for endurance athletes. But note, it doesn't contain a significant amount of carbs so it should not replace your regular sports drink or gel.
One final note: coconut oil can be just another processed product. An organic product with minimal processing will eliminate the possibility of GMO's (genetically modified products), as well as the byproducts from bleaching and hydrogenating the oil. And, of course, an organic and unrefined coconut oil will taste better. You should be able to smell the tropics when you open the jar. My favourite brand is Nutiva.
What are your favourite ways to use coconut? Please do share them with me!

WeLoveU Visits #BrightHaiti Solar-Lantern Recipients
Visiting Vocational Students Who Received Solar-powered Lanterns Through the #BrightHaiti Project
After donating 3,000 solar-powered lanterns to students from the Warf Jeremie Vocational and Technical Training Center in May, the WeLoveU Foundation touched base with the students who received them. WeLoveU is already in the midst of planning phase two of the Bright Haiti project to improve students lives and progress their education.
A Spark of Change
The results were incredible and the feedback from the students was promising. They expressed their gratitude to the foundation and Chairwoman Zahng Gil-jah for thinking of them and providing a solution for a problem they face daily. Many students mentioned how the lanterns have become a vital source of light for them at night.
It increases their productivity after sundown whether to complete schoolwork or other activities. It also positively impacts their families lives and the community directly. They can travel to the outer cities where there is little to no power with their lantern to visit their families. Some even choose to send their lantern as a gift to less fortunate family members who have no access to electricity at all.
"Thank you, WeLoveU Foundation! I can now stay later at school to finish my homework and use my lantern to light up the path to go back home when it gets dark," said one student.
I study accounting. I want to thank WeLoveU for thinking of CEFPROTEC for the distribution of the lamp. We used to have so many difficulties to study or run our regular errands around our neighborhood.
Because electricity is so rare in Haiti, it was difficult for us to walk around, especially at night and function well. This lamp changed our whole lives and represents so much for us.
The lamp helps us study even in groups. We help other people in the area so they can benefit from the lamp as well and we are sometimes 10 people studying together with the lamp.
I'm from the countryside, and when I have to go there, I always take the lamp to do my chores. When I get to the countryside, many people congratulate me on such a beautiful gift. I don't have the words to express my gratitude towards WeLoveU for such an incredible gift.
Like this, many good reactions came out from the students who were thankful for the brighter future they can now have because of these solar-powered lanterns.
I am studying accounting and English. Before the lantern, I always had difficulty studying, especially at home since in Haiti we don't have much electricity. Now that I have this lamp, it is very useful to me. This lamp helps my household. When we didn't have electricity before, we had to put candles out every day. Now with the lantern, we no longer need candles.
We want to thank the WeLoveU Foundation so much. Not many foundations do such great work or think about us, and we want to truly thank WeLoveU on behalf of CEFPROTEC university.
Sharing a Mother's Love by Spending Time with Students and Donating School Supplies
Upon hearing such touching stories, the WeLoveU Foundation organized a light show with the students and prepared to donate schools supplies such as notebooks, pencils, and pens to each of the participants to further encourage their education.
Thus, on Sunday, October 28, 2018, 100 of the best students from the Warf Jeremie Vocational and Technical Training Center gathered together. They stood in formation spelling "WeLoveU" while holding up their lanterns towards the night sky shining brightly.
After the light show, students were treated to snacks and beverages. Then, WeLoveU distributed the school supplies as well as warm meals for each student to enjoy. They served the students with the love of a mother as it's one of the foundation's core teachings.
The students were excited to participate in the event and were very thankful to receive materials to facilitate their education.
"This foundation is very different. All of you are always smiling and so kind. Thank you WeLoveU for thinking of us and our needs when we feel sometimes abandoned by our own country," said another student.
The principal also shared his gratitude towards the foundation and looks forward to collaborating with WeLoveU again in the future.
I am a student at CEFPROTEC. They say that gratitude is the memory of the heart. So we want to take this time to thank the founder of WeLoveU for thinking about us. Often when we come home, there is no electricity and we cannot work. Since as students, we always have so much homework and research, it was difficult to study. Thanks to the lantern, our lives became much easier and now we are able to do what was impossible in the past. In the name of all students at CEFPROTEC, we want to take this time to thank you so much for thinking about us. We hope that we will hear from you soon again and share many great things together.

One of the biggest attractions in America, and certainly in the state of Arizona, is the spectacular Grand Canyon. This incredible landscape, carved out by the Colorado River, reveals the power of nature and the wonder it can create. The canyon walls glow a variety of colors in the late afternoon sun, with hues of orange, red, yellow, and everything in between. Most visitors see the canyon from the South Rim, where there are numerous lookout areas all along the road and walkway running along the canyon's edge. The North Rim provides a different view altogether, but the road is closed in winter. For those who want a closer look, t is possible to hike down into the Grand Canyon or take a helicopter flight over and through the canyon.(image by Al_HikesAZ)
Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park straddles the border between Arizona and Utah. The impressive Wild West landscape includes jagged rock formations, dramatic buttes, and sand dunes. Visitors can do a self drive tour through the valley, take a guided tour or photography tour, or simply appreciate some of the views from the passing highway.
The Glen Canyon National Recreation Area offers locals and visitors a chance to enjoy water based activities, but it is also a visually stunning area of blue water, desert landscape, and dramatic stone walls. In addition to Glen Canyon, the area is also home to Lake Powell, one of the largest manmade lakes in the United States.
Hoover Dam is one of the world's great engineering marvels. This massive structure, completed in 1935, crosses the Colorado River, linking Arizona and Nevada. It is 726 feet high and 1,244 feet long. Lake Mead, held back by the Hoover Dam, is the largest artificial lake in the United States. It is 110 miles long, and holds the equivalent of two years of flow of the Colorado River.(image by Rich pick)
The town of Sedona, about an hour and a half drive north of Phoenix, is situated in a stunning setting, surrounded by red rock mountains and buttes. There are fabulous views from the main highway running through the town and almost every street corner. The area has great hiking and mountain biking, but jeep tours provide an even easier way to get out into the landscape. Sedona is known for its energy vortexes and many people consider it to be a highly spiritual place.
Located along a mountainside, high above the desert floor, Jerome is an old mining town, turned ghost town, turned tourist attraction. A steep hill with switchbacks is the main street through town, and where visitors will find interesting stores and restaurants. Views from the streets and some of the shop windows are amazing. Many of the old buildings have been renovated but some still stand as ruins, creating a very interesting dynamic.This town is a popular day trip from Sedona, Prescott, Phoenix, or Flagstaff. There is also accommodation for those who want to spend the night. The town's mining history can be appreciated at the Gold King Mine Museum.
Wander around the Arizona in a right way and explore the better experience over there.

3. Brittan Vineyards Willamette Valley Chardonnay (2010)
Before sharing my tasting notes on this wine, let me just say I'm relieved my wine geekiness/giddiness did not show too badly when sharing a table with Robert Brittan. He's a wine making legend out of Napa Valley. For 16 years, Brittan was the winemaker and vineyard manager at the highly acclaimed Stag's Leap Winery in Napa. Before that, he made wines for Far Niente and Saint Andrews, also in Napa. In my beginning years of enjoying wine, I absolutely loved Napa Valley's Far Niente Chardonnay. I would scrounge up pennies to put towards a rare purchase of the wine I loved most of all, one that was not easily affordable for a young twenty-something wine enthusiast. With 30 years of experience behind him, Brittan left Napa to fulfill a dream of making Pinot Noir and other cool climate varietals, like cool-climate Chardonnay, in Oregon's Willamette Valley. I was about to taste an Oregon Chardonnay produced by legendary Napa Chardonnay producer, Robert Brittan – yes, I was excited. And, the fact that a legendary producer such as Brittan would leave Napa for Oregon…well, that says a whole lot about Oregon and Oregon wine. Brittan Vineyards 2010 Willamette Valley Chardonnay was spectacular. Aromas of key lime pie, caramel and hazelnuts led to lush, rich, complex flavors to match. The balance between acidity and creaminess was outstanding, and a phenomenal structure gave way to incredible zestiness along with a flourishing, elegant finish.

The iPad arrives
Recently I won my very first iPad by providing the winning suggestion in a product detail page review for AspDotNetStorefront and it arrived today! The contest involved reviewing a product detail page for a current AspDotNetStorefront customer and my suggestion involved modifying the color drop down box to display different images, based on the color selected (manual instructions here). The customer explained that they "chose your comments over all others because you were brief, to the point and pointed us to a feature of ASPDNSF that we were not utilizing. We appreciate the time you took to share your comments with us."
Thanks to the folks at http://www.safetylightsandsignals.com for selecting me and my buddies at Vortx for sponsoring the contest!

text: So I missed posting yesterday because I woke up yesterday morning with extreme vertigo. It was so bad I threw up a few times yesterday morning. Today I still have it but it is much better. I wouldn't trust myself to drive though. I'm going to try to get some things done today but not sure how much because it really isn't very comfortable looking at a computer screen. Yesterday I didn't eat much due to the nausea. I guess this is all I'm going to post for now.

Seeing the titular amount of modern military based shooters rising to huge success in the last few years, it's no surprise to see EA bringing the once popular and highly influential Medal of Honor series back to the mix. Being that EA has already posted a successful shooter in to the field with Battlefield, it's clear the intended target of this game is to debunk the ever growing popularity of the Call of Duty franchise. With Activision dominating the scene with recent behemoths of the Modern Warfare series, and soon to be released Black Ops, can Medal of Honor bring enough to the table to compete? Medal of Honor will also have to contend the sticks against the upcoming Battlefield 3 game as well. The game brings all the right pieces to make a successful game, but poor execution plagues this title and diminishes the potential staying power once known to the series.
In the wake of the September 11th attacks on the United States, Medal of Honor starts us off cruising through an Afghan town as a part of squad Neptune. The US is just starting its invasion of Afghanistan and the terrorist organization of the Taliban. Throughout the game you will take on the role of a squad member in different teams performing scouting and reconnaissance missions. The two prominent roles has you playing as Rabbit in the previously mentioned Neptune squad, as well as Deuce who is a sniper part of the Delta Force squad Wolfpack. Rugged and tough the story has you parading around the middle east engaging enemies and controlling key points. The desk-bound General Flagg gives hasty orders which brings conflict with your commanding officer Colonel Drucker. While the story makes strong use of vehicular combat, and traveling, there is little substance that makes the title stand out among the many better military shooters. The Danger Close guys did however produce good situational awareness allowing you to effectively use all of the games mechanics for single player.
Besides the aforementioned driving mechanic, which has you perusing the middle eastern desert on ATV's you can also handle the triggers on an Apache helicopter which utterly wrecks everything. Medal of Honor includes some fresh movement mechanics which add a lot to the standard action running and gunning. Why you have the standard movement options, such as walking, running and strafing, there is also the ability to slide when you are running towards an object. They also added in the option to go prone in the game, however I didn't find myself needing to do that, except for the areas where they forced you to prone under some objects. The main issue with the movement, is getting stuck on random objects, while trying to traverse the land, and having to convulse in order to get your self free. Weapons feel powerful and useful, usually dropping enemies quickly. While you will often rely on the assault rifles to get the job done, it is fun to run around with the shotguns leaving a massacre in your wake. The campaign is not much of a challenge, which is actually nice considering the lack of story that actually exists. Some of the scripted sequences really hold up the action, as you can not change their outcome even if you clearly are capable of doing so by line of sight. There are also plenty of areas where you could clearly jump over walls to get to areas but the game blocks you from doing this. There are some key moments that offer up some intensity but overall you will have no problem blowing through in about seven to eight hours.
The most unusual aspect of the entire game is the separation of the multiplayer to another engine. While the single player is using the Unreal 3 engine, the guys over at DICE were brought in to develop the multiplayer using the Frostbite engine used on their Battlefield Bad Company series. They did a decent job of matching the feel of the single player, however the weapons and movement were changed just a bit mostly due to the different engines. The weapons feel a little weaker and seem to have much less control. While the movement shows a loss of the cooler mechanic in the single player of sliding. Like Bad Company the prone was removed from the multiplayer as well. The multiplayer boasts a playbook similar to the already referenced Battlefield Bad Company games. The game modes offered parallel that of its EA brethren and don't offer anything new to differentiate the two. There are four game modes out of the box in Medal of Honor; Combat Mission, Objective Raid, Team Assault and Sector Control. Each mode has you playing as the Coalition Forces or the renamed Taliban known as "OPFOR." Combat mission lets you battle it out to control and overrun five objectives, each objective letting you progress to the next. In Operation Raid the OPFOR attempt to sabotage two objectives. Team Assault is a standard 12 on 12 deathwatch, and lastly Sector Control offers three capture points that your team needs to hold in order to gain points.
Both single player and multiplayer offer the Tier 1 mode, which employes different modes to give more value to the game. In single player Tier 1 is a mode in which you are challenged to beat a single player mission as fast as possible while earning points for doing skilled shots. The catch is you only have one change to make it through the entire level without dying. You earn points by getting headshots, multikills, and chaining kills together for combos. With integrated leaderboards you can track your progress and compete with others around the world to obtain the fastest times, the longest killshots among other ranks. The multiplayer version is used as the leveling mechanic to gain experience and unlock new weapons and items. Each of the classes; Rifleman, Special Ops, and Sniper, level up independently, allowing you to either play a single class and focus on that, or level each up on its own to give you the most weapons to choose from. Similar to Call of Duty or Battlefield, getting higher ranked weapons doesn't necessarily make them better, as each weapon seems to have similar stopping power.
Graphically speaking the game cruises at a relatively smooth framerate, with a few hiccups here and there, in the more intense cutscenes and fast paces action areas with many models and effects not he screen at one time.Environments look stunning and varied, offering a variety of unique visual challenges. The models are crisp and detailed with realistic looking textures to boot. While the game offers plenty of good looks the glitches are very noticeable. At certain parts you can see models clipping through door ways, or parts of the ground, and in one instance there was a model just floating with no animations across the ground. Like battlefield the audio is fantastic. Explosions kick you in the chest, fire fights sound full and impactful as bullets ricochet off the ground and surrounding walls. Each hit sounds as good as the last, as lead meets flesh. There wasn't much in the way of voice acting apart from the cutscenes, and while decent there really wasn't anything outstanding, and the dialogue could have been better prepared.
Even with all of the games quirks, Medal of Honor gives up a comparable first person experience to others in the genre. The execution and pacing helped balance out the dull spots. The most discerning flaw is offering up a reskinned Battlefield experience without adding much to the formula. There simply isn't enough diversity here to make this a long standing contender. If you are a Battlefield veteran or are just simply looking for a long lasting experience, it might be best to save your pennies and go for a more established franchise, or wait for the next big title in your wishlist.

Dish 'TV Everywhere' Service To Use Widevine Technology
Dish Network, which plans to launch a "TV Everywhere" Web portal later this year, has selected Widevine Technologies to provide digital rights management and other video technologies for the forthcoming service.
Widevine will provide adaptive-rate streaming; virtual DVD-like "trick play" features; and digital DRM for the pay-TV provider's TV Everywhere service.
The companies said Widevine's video-optimization and DRM platform will ensure that Dish customers "viewing their live and recorded shows throughout the home with TV Everywhere receive the highest-quality entertainment, while at the same time ensuring that DISH Network programming is securely delivered wirelessly to any device anywhere in the home."
Dish has not disclosed which programming partners it is working with, or other specifics of its planned TV Everywhere service. The No. 2 direct-broadcast satellite company applied to trademark "TV Everywhere" last fall.
"We are excited to partner with Widevine to bring TV Everywhere to our customers," said Bruce Eisen, Dish's vice president of online content development and strategy, in a statement. "With Widevine's Hollywood studio-approved DRM and video optimization technologies, Dish Network customers will have the freedom to watch their favorite programming throughout their home and on the go via a multitude of devices."
Other Widevine customers include Netflix, Blockbuster and Sonic's Roxio CinemaNow. Investors in Seattle-based Widevine include Cisco Systems, Charter Ventures, Liberty Global and Samsung.

These presents are also perfect to congratulate someone special on a new job that will involve frequent travel. After queuing at the ticket counter and fending off several people who didn't believe in queuing, I realised I was at the wrong ticket office. Never mind, I've done that before. When I finally found the hidden international ticket office, I got to speak to a younger and very slightly more friendly ticket lady through a little hatch. I had written my cunning plan on a card, so I just handed it over and let her read my transportation requirements. I'm clearly not the first to make such an audacious request as she immediately passed back a bit of paper telling what I knew, that the journey to Istanbul is currently using two trains and two busses and takes at least 18 hours. I smiled and told her that this was indeed what I wanted, and once she had done her best to talk me out of the idea, the … Read more

Drink lots of water on the flight. Particularly if you are taking back pain medication and as you are at altitude your body will easily get dehydrated which is not good for anyone and especially not if you have back pain and disc problems. However the easy solution is to keep drinking water and to avoid tea, coffee and alcohol as these only dehydrate you further.

Personal Tips For Traveling With Chihuahuas
In the autumn of 2004 I had the crazy idea that I should quit my life and travel around the world. This notion hit me in late September, and by the first week in November I was in Europe for the beginning of what would become a nine month long journey.

Beautiful lanterns representing the pink lotus, an important symbol for Buddhists
Sri Lanka commemorates Vesak, the thrice blessed day, with great reverence. The entire country lights up with bright and beautiful Vesak lanterns, pandols and floats, observing the light of knowledge dispelling the darkness of ignorance.
Words: Kulanthi Silva
Photography: BT Images
Vesak commemorates the Gautama Buddha's Birth, Enlightenment and Parinibbana. It is one of the most important events commemorated in Sri Lanka, with religious observances. The entire country will also be illuminated with Vesak lanterns, strings of twinkling lights and pandols. The date of Vesak changes yearly depending on the lunar calendar, and this year the religious event will be marked on April 29 and 30.
Vesak is known as the Themagula in Sinhala. Buddhists worldwide celebrate this day performing rituals in reverence of the Buddha. The intention of this is to reflect on one's life and the impermanence that comes along with it as well as to obtain a state of supreme serenity.
On the Vesak day, Buddhists in Sri Lanka pay a visit to the temple in the locality, dressed in all white to perform rites. Special Sil programmes will be held at the temples in the country and sometimes Sil is observed on the Day Following Vesak as well.
The Buddhist flag is hoisted at homes and institutions across the country. Many households will make their own lantern as an offering of light to the Buddha. Others will purchase delicate lanterns from makeshift stalls along the streets. Lanterns come in different shapes, sizes and colours; the traditional lantern is called the Atapattama which is made in the shape of an octagon. Another customary aspect of Vesak is dansal. It is the tradition of giving food for free in the spirit of benevolence. These dansal serve everything from hot and cold beverages to sweets to boiled kadala (chickpeas) and even rice and curry for lunch or dinner.
At sunset during the Vesak week, the lights along the streets of Colombo mark a line between the sky and earth. The fluorescent decorations glow throughout the city illuminating the entire city. Thousands will visit Colombo and other Vesak Zones to immerse in the atmosphere of Vesak. The setting that is full of vim and vigour is unequalled and is longed-for. The Vesak pandols of psychedelic hues narrate a Jataka Katha from the Pansiya Panas Jathaka Potha. It is a collection of anecdotes that depicts tales of moral value from previous incarnations of the Supreme Enlightened Buddha. These colourful pandols are raised all over the country retelling the tales to devout crowds. Folk plays and stage dramas will also be performed across the country, each having themes and morals derived from the philosophy of Buddhism.
The historical Gangaramaya Temple organises Buddha Rashmi Vesak, the National Vesak Festival along the waters of the Beira Lake under the guidance of Ven Galboda Gnanissara Thero, Chief Incumbent of the Gangaramaya Temple.
The historical Gangaramaya Temple organises Buddha Rashmi Vesak, the National Vesak Festival along the waters of the Beira Lake in Pittala Junction, Sir James Peiris Mawatha, Nawam Mawatha, Perahera Mawatha and Sri Uttarananda Mawatha. It is held annually under the guidance of Ven Galboda Gnanissara Thero, Chief Incumbent of the Gangaramaya Temple. This year, the festive Vesak Zone will be held from April 29 to May 2. The entire zone will be illuminated spectacularly. Creative lanterns will enthrall the crowds.
There will be pandols along the streets as well as floats with devotees singing Bhakti Geetha (devotional songs) along the lake. At night, the streets will be filled with crowds; families and friends all grouped together, enchanted by the glowing city. People travel from far and near to witness the Buddha Rashmi Vesak. Similarly, Vesak festivals will be held across the country.
Vesak is a time of reflection. It is a commemoration that echoes with the doctrine of the Buddha, and thus advocates love, kindness and harmony.

The idea of God, is the greatest thought that man will ever think. It is a thought that overwhelms, humbles and exalts all who are willing to believe in Him. God is the subject of the first statement in the Bible. "In the beginning God..." An ancient writer observed, "This phrase recognizes a Being separate from everything hereafter to be described, and yet sufficient for everything hereafter to be described." God is truly exceedingly great. He holds the whole world in His hands and yet His greatness allows Him to isolate every individual person on planet earth and love and care for that individual as if there were not another person in the world. It is the earnest hope of the writer of this book, God is Exceedingly Great, that many readers will become personally acquainted with God and even fall in love with Him.

Embracing Maturity And Responsibility
Posted by in Small Business Services Comments Off on Embracing Maturity And Responsibility
From the time we were children, we've always craved for that feeling of being independent. While we have our parents taking care of us for a majority of our lives, it comes to a point where we ourselves have to grow up and embrace the expected level of maturity and independence that comes with growing up. There's a certain level of understanding that we must have and in addition to be responsible for our own decisions, choices and actions. To lead a responsible life, one must know themselves and their priorities, along with their weaknesses and their strengths, and must take steps to manage them in the best manner possible, which involves and requires a great level of self-control and discipline. There then comes a point where we ourselves move forward in life to the stage of having a family of our own, and we find ourselves making the decisions that our parents once made for us. It's a mad cycle, but we all learn through the examples set before us, and sometimes, through our own morals and independent mindset and way of thinking.
Growing up has its stages, the rebellious stage, the stubborn stage, the angst-filled stage that so often grace the teenage years, and finally, the power of newfound freedom. You find yourself sneaking out of the house to go to some party, or cutting school to hang out with your friends and telling little white lies just to go have fun. This is the time when you finally get your own car, try to sneak out and end up making a small technical miscalculation which ends up with you being grounded and having to help with the certified door repairs, considering you rammed the vehicle into it the previous night trying to sneak out. The older you get, you start looking back on these memories, feeling nostalgic and wishing you could go back to these simpler times, back when problems were silly and trivial.
Life comes to a stage where you have to worry about bills instead of test scores, face the Monday blues about going to work rather than going to school, taking care of your family rather than taking care of yourself in time for the game coming up, worrying about maintaining house repairs and finding a decent home for your family rather than worrying about some broken garage door motor. It all sounds sad and dreary when you put it in such a way, but maybe it doesn't have to be that way.Maturity and responsibility can be scary, but at the end of the day, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel, and there's always something to look forward to, so just make sure you never lose that spark.

Q: Several of my employees are asking me to dismiss another employee and they are all threatening to resign if I don't. On what grounds do I have to dismiss this employee?
