420: Future of Cannabis in Canada
Apr 28, 2014 | Blog, Featured
It seems that we are on the cusp of change for cannabis in Canada. Now that CSSDP members have reported and reflected on many of the 420 festivities that took place across the country, this post will focus on the future of cannabis in Canada to complete the 420 Blog Series. There are three main developments to keep an eye on…
1) MMPR Injunction
2) Sensible BC Referendum
3) 2015 Election Opportunity
420: Prairie High
The last year has been monumental for cannabis legalization, with Uruguay, Colorado, and Washington State legalizing marijuana for adult recreational use. We also have a lot to celebrate in Canada, as the MMAR Coalition of Repeal has just blocked Health Canada's new marijuana laws (MMPR or Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations) which served to outlaw patients who grow their own medicine or designate someone on their behalf. Led by constitutional lawyer John C. Conroy Q.C., this coalition has allowed patients and designated growers to continue to produce their own marijuana until the court injunction releases a final decision. To celebrate this exciting progression during the 420 weekend, I went to Hanna, Alberta to visit cannabis patient, grower and marijuana mom extraordinaire Tamara Cartwright-Poulits. Tamara is the Alberta Representative for the MMAR Coalition of Repeal, as well of the founder Canadian Students for Sensible Drug Policy's Lethbridge Chapter.
420: Toronto
420 in Toronto has always been a rather strange thing to me. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people protesting the illegal status of cannabis, all the while head shops all around the city are packed to the brim, throwing 420 parties and celebrating marijuana culture. My own 420 celebrations typically involve me just getting stoned with friends – and so I decided that this year I would actively participate.
420: Fill the Hill Ottawa
Unlike the hail that Ottawa was graced with the previous year, the weather on 420 was beautiful. It was sun shining, sunglass sporting, t-shirt wearing weather. This year, thousands flocked to Parliament Hill in support of cannabis legalization and regulation. Our small group of five people arrived at 2 PM and groups of people had already circled-up and set up their spaces. Most were sitting and smoking, but others were hooping, dancing, and doing poi; everyone was enjoying the beautiful day. We quickly moved to the front right-hand side of the lawn, set up our circle, laid down blankets and got cozy.
420: Van City
"It's a celebration more so than it is a protest," my roommate Zach says to me as we walk around the packed social gathering that has become 420. Vancouver is a hub of cannabis culture, having been the first place to begin the series of protests that have become 420 rallies across the world. For a political rally, 420 has truly become a celebration of cannabis in all of its forms, with vendors and local drug dealers alike cashing in on the enthusiasm of the 30,000 individuals who came to this year's rally. In total, there were two vendor booths that focused on policy based initiatives for ending the war on drugs, although there were also many dispensaries, which currently are fighting to stay alive under the new MMAR laws. The rally was tied together with amazing speeches by people like David Malmo Levine and Jodie Emery.
420: High'd Park, London, UK
Despite the rain, thousands gathered in Hyde Park, London, UK to celebrate 420 and show their support for cannabis legalization and regulation. Cannabis enthusiasts were reminded of the illegality of their drug of choice upon entry to the park as signs stating that, "Possession of cannabis is illegal" and "Extra police on patrol in Hyde Park" were abundant. We even spotted a "Cannabis surrender bin." Given that the 420 celebrators already know the legal status of cannabis, these warnings did not stop thousands from publicly lighting up throughout the day.
Introducing the 420 Blog Series
On April 20, cannabis users across Canada and around the world will be celebrating 420, challenging the stigma around cannabis and fighting for drug policy reform. CSSDP is launching a 420 Blog Series to report and reflect on 420 festivities. CSSDP members from Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa, Alberta and London, England will be attending and writing about 420 festivities. If you would like to be involved, please send an email to our Chair of the Board of Directors, Nazlee Maghsoudi, at nazleem@cssdp.org. We are happy to accept and publish posts from CSSDP members and non-members, from across Canada and abroad, and from places that are represented and are not represented in the series thus far.
Cold Turkey in Crimea?
Apr 8, 2014 | Blog, Featured
Drug users in Crimea are facing disaster as they watch the stock piles of methadone and buprenorphine – medications that allow them to live normal and productive lives – run out in front of them, likely for good.
Those following the situation in Crimea have undoubtedly heard the concerns of the Tatars, the Jewish community, and even the affluent middle class, but the group in the most immediate danger of having life as they know it turned on its head – 803 drug users in opiate substitution therapy (OST) programs – have, as is often the case, received little attention.

Can you choose your own EDK? Of course, you can!
Extreme Way of the Cross is a proposal of a form of spirituality.
It is neither a pilgrimage nor an event that is held once a year!
look again at your route carefully.
a map of the territory of your EDK.
Remember that the heavier your backpack the bigger your burden and fatigue.
You can walk EDK any time!
Do you know any interesting route that can be taken during EDK?
Do you want to share your experiences?
Read the information about EDK and consider if you want to take the challenge. Look at FAQ.
Extreme Way of the Cross embraces walking at night, meditating selected texts and struggling with your weaknesses.
It is of an individual character: while walking your route and facing unforeseen events you can count only on yourself.
Your participation is a voluntary religious practice. You are entirely responsible for your decision.
Look at the routes and evaluate which one you can walk. Descriptions of the routes can be found here.
Your decision involves full responsibility for everything related to this event.
It is obligatory to keep the Rule of Silence from the first station of the cross. Respect the right of other participants to profound experiences of the Mystery of the Way of the Cross through their encounters with God in silence and concentration, the exception being reading loudly the meditations and prayers at every station.
Legally speaking, your EDK is long distance walking.
Do not plan too long stops.
Watch out when walking along the side of the road. Observe traffic signs. Walking in small groups, less than 10 people, is permitted.
While meditating at the stations and making stops en route, ensure that you do not occupy too much space so that other participants have enough room for meditation and short prayer.
The route can be muddy and slippery.

Pall Mobile Water System Helps Alleviate Drought Crisis in Tuvalu
28. Nov, 2011 0 Comments
A mobile water treatment system from Pall Corporation (NYSE:PLL) has been deployed by the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) to drought-stricken Tuvalu, the Pacific island nation battling a crippling water shortage. Part of an international crisis response, the Pall WTS30 microfiltration (MF) and reverse osmosis (RO) system is providing 40,000 liters of fresh water per day for the island's 10,500 residents. The system is owned and operated by the New Zealand military.
This is the second humanitarian deployment of Pall's mobile water technology by the New Zealand military this year. In March, the NZDF utilized a Pall system to provide water relief for victims of a 6.3 magnitude earthquake.
Earlier this month, Tuvalu officials declared a state of emergency in the midst of prolonged drought worsened by rising sea levels, which have contaminated fresh water tables. The Pall mobile system transforms salt water into drinking water and is operating from the wharf at Funafuti, the capital city. It has helped deliver 2,000 liters per day to the area hospital, 1,000 liters to each of the three schools, and the remainder is being pumped to public works distribution points. A Pall Advanced Separation Systems (PASS) technician is on the ground in Tuvalu to assist in full commissioning and operation of the system.
"Pall is gratified to supply a solution that meets an emergency humanitarian need in Tuvalu. Our mobile water systems are increasingly being called upon to meet the demand for solutions that can be deployed rapidly to provide a clean water source where none existed previously or where existing sources have been compromised," said Greg Collins, senior vice president, Pall Water and Energy. "Pall's microfiltration and reverse osmosis technologies are ideal for both emergency relief and long-term installations."
About Pall Water Treatment Systems
The WTS30 system is capable of producing drinking water from almost any raw water source within hours after delivery. Using state-of-the-art hollow fiber and reverse osmosis membrane technologies, the system desalinates sea water and transforms it into water that is free from harmful bacteria, cysts, and particles. Requiring minimal manpower for operation and maintenance, the WTS30 is one of several Pall mobile water systems that enable municipalities, military units and ships at sea to boost water production on a permanent or temporary basis.
The WTS30 system used in Tuvalu incorporates Microza* microfiltration membranes for pre-filtration and Disc TubeTM reverse osmosis membranes for desalination. Designed to military defense standard 00-35, the robust system is housed in two 10-ft. ISO containers and is shock and vibration qualified for transportation by land, sea or air.
In October 2009, two Pall WTS100 mobile water treatment systems were deployed as part of "Operation Padang Assist," the Australian government's humanitarian response to earthquakes in Indonesia. In June 2010, the city of Calexico, California engaged four Pall Aria™ systems to supply up to four million gallons of potable water per day following an earthquake that disrupted the municipal water supply there.
Pall is a leader in permanent and mobile membrane technology solutions for municipal and industrial water and emergency relief applications. The Company provides water treatment systems for large and small municipalities and industrial customers around the world. In addition to serving the $13 billion municipal water market, Pall's filtration technology is increasingly becoming a critical component in intake and process water for food, beverage, chemical, oil, gas, power and semiconductor production, among others. Pall's technology helps ensure a greener future by enabling businesses to conserve and reuse water, and to restore wastewater to environmentally safe levels before discharge.

Planning your gender reveal party and looking to add something fun and exciting? I have some great ideas for you! When I was pregnant I would get the oddest questions from people about how I was feeling or what the baby was doing. When I would ask why they wanted to know they would respond "Oh, it's just an old wives tale". I always thought all the old wives' tales were so funny! Yet so many of them were true for me! Madi Loves Kiwi makes an adorable old wives tale sign that you can use at your reveal. Simply circle the answer the old wives' tale and let your friends and family try and guess if your sweet baby to be will be a boy or a girl based on your answers! One old wives' tale I never believed was if you have a lot of heart burn your babies will be born with a head full of hair. I thought to myself, that is crazy! What does one have to do with another? However, both of my girls were born with heads FULL of hair after having terrible heart burn my entire pregnancy. Another crazy old wives' tale I heard the other day at a friend's baby shower was the garlic test! This wives' tale predicts that if you can eat garlicy food and not smell like garlic after eating it then you will be having a girl! This is definitely one of the crazier old wives' tales I have ever heard. Try this one at your (and your significant others) own risk!
Looking for a unique idea for the big reveal? I love the gender reveal balloons! They are so fun and easy to do! Plus, you can get some great pictures! Our gender reveal balloons are giant 36 inch balloons that are black to hide the confetti color inside the balloon. Our gender reveal party balloons kit comes with the balloon prefilled with the confetti so all you have to do is inflate the balloon with helium and you're ready to go! Just get a pointed object to pop the balloon and you will be showered in pink or blue confetti! Our gender reveal balloons have the wording He or She Pop to See! I have seen some really cute balloon decorations to make the balloon fit your theme. Some people add pink and blue streamers to the string of the balloon to match their theme. Another couple have a Bee themed gender reveal party and the wrapped the balloon in yellow tissue paper to make it look like a bee hive! It was adorable for their What Will Our Baby Bee theme!
Did you use our gender reveal balloon for your big reveal? We would love to see your pictures! Follow and tag us on Facebook and Instagram! Don't forget we have a monthly photo contest as well! Email us your pictures for a chance to win!

"China" is a song by Puerto Rican rappers Anuel AA and Daddy Yankee and Colombian singer Karol G with Puerto Rican singer Ozuna and Colombian singer J Balvin from Anuel AA's second studio album Emmanuel. The single was released through Anuel AA's label Real Hasta la Muerte on July 19, 2019, alongside a music video directed by Marlon Peña. "China" samples the 2000 song "It Wasn't Me" by Jamaican musician Shaggy, which itself samples War's "Smile Happy" hence both Shaggy and the members of War (despite the latter's song never appearing on the track) are credited as songwriters for this song. It was also written by Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, Karol G, Ozuna, and J Balvin, and was produced by Puerto Rican record producer Tainy.

It has been described as a reggaeton song with lyrics about infidelity at a nightclub and getting caught red-handed. Commercially, the song peaked at number one in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Spain and reached the top 10 in nine other countries. In the United States, it has topped the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart and peaked at number 43 on the Billboard Hot 100. In Europe, the single ranked within the top 15 in Switzerland and Italy. In 2020, "China" received Latin Grammy nominations for Record of the Year and Best Urban Fusion Performance. The song is also part of Just Dance 2022.

Background
"China" was written by Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, Karol G, Ozuna, and J Balvin, and was produced by Puerto Rican Latin Grammy Award-winner record producer Tainy. Tainy had previously worked with Anuel AA on "Sola" (2016), with Daddy Yankee on "Noche de Entiero" (2006), "Bella y Sensual" and "Si Supieras" (2019), with Karol G on "Mi Mala" (2017), with Ozuna on "No Quiero Amores" (2017), and with J Balvin on the majority of his albums Vibras (2018) and Oasis (2019). He had also co-produced the Grammy Award-nominated song "I Like It" (2018) by Cardi B, Bad Bunny, and J Balvin.

Anuel AA told Billboard in July 2019 that he "had been looking to revive a classic" and chose Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me" because it "hit" him. He started listening to old songs and remembered Shaggy's track from his childhood. He told XXL that "when [he] used to go with the big boys in [his] hood to the club, they put that song on and everybody used to go crazy". He chose to redo "It Wasn't Me" and supposed that there would not be any problems with the release due to Shaggy's collaborations with Hispanic artists. He recorded the song and sent the mix to Daddy Yankee, who "went crazy about it" and finished recording his verse in three days. Anuel AA then showed it to his girlfriend Karol G at their home and she opined that it was "the best track [she has] heard from [him]". He wanted her on the record because she liked it and "[they] always help each other" and started to think about "classics that had all the big names in them".

After some time, he met Ozuna and showed the song to him, who "went crazy as well" and recorded his part. J Balvin was the last one to record, as the original collaboration did not include him, according to Anuel AA's announcement in April 2019. Balvin's participation was revealed by Billboard two months later. Anuel AA has stated that it is "the strongest song of [his] career up to date". He referred to the track as a "mix of different cultures with each of the collaborators contributing with its own flow". The song's title comes from the "strong Chinese elements" on Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me".

Composition
"China" has been referred to as a reggaeton song with a length of five minutes and one second. It samples and is a Spanish-language adaptation of Jamaican singer Shaggy's 2000 single "It Wasn't Me". Much like "It Wasn't Me", the lyrics to "China" speak of infidelity and getting caught red-handed. Jessica Roiz of Billboard wrote that the song is about "meeting someone at the club, having a good time and forgetting about their significant other". In addition to the song's sample, the song also interpolates lyrics from Daddy Yankee's 2007 single "Ella Me Levantó". Billboards Leila Cobo described the song as a "reggaeton explosion", while Jessica Roiz referred to it as "a fun Latin urban-meets-EDM" and a "Latin-EDM twist" to Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me". Suzy Exposito of Rolling Stone described it as "an EDM-reggaeton rework of Shaggy's 2000 cheaters' anthem".

Release and reception
"China" was made available for digital download and online streaming on July 19, 2019, by Anuel AA's record label Real Hasta la Muerte. Leila Cobo of Billboard wrote that the song "is the trap star's ultimate redemption" which "allows each artist to shine in an eminently danceable and commercially proven track that stays true to the original while managing to be completely refreshing". Suzy Exposito of Rolling Stone stated that Anuel AA "strikes gold" with the song. Raúl Gillén of Spanish music website Jenesaispop praised the chorus and "that strident 'Mi Gente'-style trumpet that has been exploited so much in recent years". He also wrote that the song could become reggaeton's summer hit in Spain due to the performers' fame and its "undeniable magnetism".

In order to promote the song, Anuel AA encouraged people on social media to take part of the China Challenge, which consists of uploading a video dancing to the song, imitating the movements of a person in a wheelchair. Editors of Spanish newspapers Okdiario and La Vanguardia found the challenge inappropriate, disrespectful and offensive. Colombian newspaper El Universal reported that numerous Instagram users criticized it for being "a mockery to people in wheelchairs". Anuel AA explained that the dance move was based on a scene from Walt Disney Productions' 1940 film Pinocchio.

Commercial performance
In the United States, "China" debuted at number two on Billboards Hot Latin Songs chart on the issue dated August 3, 2019, and topped both the Latin Digital Songs and Latin Streaming Songs charts with 1,000 downloads sold and 14.1 million streams. The single subsequently peaked at number one on the week ending August 17, 2019, becoming Anuel AA's third number-one and 10th top 10 on Hot Latin Songs, as well as his highest-charting single as a lead artist on the list. The track also garnered Daddy Yankee his seventh number-one and 29th top 10 on Hot Latin Songs, tying with Chayanne, Cristian Castro and Shakira as the third artist with most top 10s on the chart since its inception in 1986. It also became J Balvin's sixth number-one song, Ozuna's fourth, and Karol G's first.

On the US Billboard Hot 100, the song debuted at number 52 on the week ending August 3, 2019, becoming Anuel AA's sixth entry and his third highest-ranking title on the chart, as well as Karol G's highest. It subsequently peaked at number 43 on August 17, 2019, becoming Daddy Yankee's seventh top 50 song on the Hot 100, as well as J Balvin's fifth, Ozuna's fourth, Anuel AA's third, and Karol G's first. It has also peaked at number 27 on Streaming Songs and at number 38 on Digital Songs. "China" has also reached number 37 on the Rolling Stone Top 100 Songs chart on the week ending August 8, 2019 with 52,600 sales plus track-equivalent streams.

Internationally, the song peaked at number one in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Spain and reached the top 10 in Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela. Across Europe, it has also peaked at number 11 in Switzerland, number 15 in Italy, and number 39 in Sweden. The track also became both Anuel AA's and Karol G's highest-charting song in Switzerland, Sweden, and the Netherlands. "China" was also the second most-played radio song in Latin America on the week ending August 4, 2019, with 6,797 spins across the 19 countries Monitor Latino measures.

Music video
The music video for "China" was directed by Dominican filmmaker and director Marlon Peña, who had previously worked with Anuel AA on "Controla" (2019), with Daddy Yankee on eight clips including "Mayor Que Yo" (2005), "Shaky Shaky" (2016) and "Con Calma" (2019), and with both of them on "Adictiva" (2018) and the remix version of "Asesina" (2018), in which Ozuna also performs. J Balvin filmed separately, since he was the last one to record and the music video had been already shot in April 2019. The official music video on YouTube was released on Anuel AA's channel on July 19, 2019. It has received over 1.4 billion views as of July 2020.

         *

         *     This strategy represents the original design of fixture scripts service.  Specifically,it allows an

         *

         *     The most obvious example is a global teardown script; every fixture script can require this to be
         *     called, but it will only be run once.
         *

         *

         *     Note that this strategy treats fixture scripts as combining both the 'how' (which business action(s) to
         *     call) and the also the 'what' (what the arguments are to those actions).

         *
         *

         *     This strategy is conceptually the simplest; all fixtures are run as requested.  However, it is then
         *     the responsibility of the programmer to ensure that fixtures do not interfere with each other.  For
         *     example, if fixture A calls fixture B which calls teardown, and fixture A also calls fixture C that
         *     itself calls teardown, then fixture B's setup will get removed.
         *

         *

         *     The workaround to the teardown issue is of course to call the teardown fixture only once in the test
         *     itself; however even then this strategy cannot cope with arbitrary graphs of fixtures.  The solution
         *     is for the fixture list to be flat, one level high.

Q: Master atualizou sozinha com o checkout Bom dia pessoal! Eu estava trabalhando em uma branch e quando eu executei o checkout para a master (git checkout master) ela atualizou sem eu fazer o merge. Aparece a seguinte mensagem:
abel@abel-Vostro-3500:~/Documentos/Drapp/front-web$ git checkout master

Switched to branch 'master'
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
abel@abel-Vostro-3500:~/Documentos/Drapp/front-web$

Alguém sabe como resolver isso?

A: Sempre que for fazer o merge em questão commite antes.
git commit -m "{o que você fez}"

Caso necessite trocar de branch antes de subir no caso para master(boas praticas). Utilize o:
git checkout -b feature/{nome-da-sua-feature}

2012 at ITR Expo
2012 at NASA National Championships
2014 after being rebuilt
2014 after winning the Lime Rock NASA Event
Bought from Adam Curpier as a New York salvage shell in 2010, sold to Eric Peters of Seek Speed Shop, then bought back in 2012. In 2012, the car was built with a B16A2 for the H2 Honda Challenge series. The car had 9 wins, 10 pole position, and 2 track records throughout the season. It also got 2nd place at the National Championships at Mid-Ohio after starting 11th due to issues in qualifying.
The owner, Jonathan Baker, moved to the Pirelli World Challenge for the 2013 season, and the car was striped and the shell being sold to Michael Harris of Virginia Beach, VA slated to race in the H1 series of Honda Challenge with a K24 engine. After sitting with him for a year, Jonathan Baker bought the shell back, put all new equipment in, and has been racing it in H2 Honda Challenge again in 2014. The car has not finished many events due to mechanical issues, but has shown to be the fastest car in the series when it does run.
Here are some of the highlights of what the car has:
32 Racing and RLZ-built B16A2 engine
ITR Trans with 4.923 FD
Spoon brakes
Penske shocks
SSR Type C wheels

Q: Is it possible to make subfolders in the "Show View" menu? Let's say I have some view called "My View".
I know I can create a category, "My Category", and place my view inside it.
I'd like to create a subfolder/category inside "My Category" called "Sub Folder" and place my view inside it.
Then the view would be found through the "Show View" popup as follows:
My Category -> Sub Folder -> My View
I know you can do this with exports/imports, but it doesn't seem like you can with views.
Here is a sample plugin.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
      <category
            name="My Category"
            id="My_Category">
      </category>
      <category
            id="My_Sub_Folder"
            name="Sub Folder"
            parentCategory="My_Category">
      </category>
      <view
            name="My View"
            icon="icons/sample.gif"
            category="My_Sub_Folder"
            class="sample_plugin.views.SampleView"
            id="sample_plugin.views.SampleView">
      </view>
   </extension>
</plugin>

However, when I use the plugin.xml above, the view category does not show up and the view is found in the "Other" category. If I change the view category back to "My_Category", the view shows up in the parent category.

A: (revised answer)
You can set up a parent category hierarchy, but the Show View menu will not respect this.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=92894
So the answer is effectively no.
Here is the documentation on setting up the useless parent category:
http://help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ui_views.html

A: it could be that your using package explorer.  Switch to Navigator (window-->show view ---> other -------> Navigator)
now you can see the project as folders instead of packages.

The Global Wind Organisation (GWO) is an association of Wind Turbine owners and manufacturers with the aim of supporting an injury-free work environment in the wind industry. An objective of GWO is to develop common industry training and best practice Standards for health and safety as a vital and necessary way forward to reduce risks for personnel in the wind industry working on site and to reducing environmental risks across Europe and the globe.
The GWO Basic Technical Training modules can be taken separately and in any order you wish. It is however beneficial to complete module 1 first.
Upon completion of the 3 modules which make up GWO Basic Technical Training (BTT), delegates will possess an awareness of hydraulic, mechanical and electrical systems, preparing them for working both on and offshore in the renewable energy sectors.
All personnel participating in Basic Technical Training must be medically fit and capable of fully participating.
Training is verified through the GWO database WINDA, all delegates attending this course must be registered with WINDA and must hold a WINDA ID, please ensure to bring with you on the day.


@Red Poppy Ranch Does your city require an engineer's stamp on structural drawings? If so, how did you deal with this?
Oh this was relieving to watch. We are getting ready to build a few tiny homes for nightly rentals and not sure where to begin on plans for permits.
Could you do a video showing mor details on drawing the plans like finding the scale to finding the pitch?
May I ask. So What does it takes for I want to draw everything by myself and start putting the work together?
First. Those drawing is just dimension or the house top and side view? And in video he did say something about engineer stamp?
So in the end we still need to go the engineer guy?
Can you really get the plan approved to get the permit the same day in California?
Congratulations on the approval! Amazing approved without the plans being redrawn and submitted, welcome to good rural living.
San Diego County California and some places here in Phoenix will not accept drawings unless stamped by an engineer and they require they draw the plans themselves. San Diego County is a real stickler on how they want the submittal packet despite the hundreds of homes that were lost then (client forced submittal when I wanted to hold back and have reviewed by a Professor at the community college).
I am chuckling as in your introduction video you stated came from the Southeast Phoenix, guessed Gilbert, and about that, was right?
Wow awesome!!! Just looking at your plans if you can do it I can!! Thanks for the inspiration..
Drawings look great but would never even come close to passing now in my city. I know first hand.
Very happy for your family. God bless!
im worried that your pitch might not be steep enough with all the snow weight that can accumulate? just a thought.

Board Games – While I haven't had a chance to play it yet Scythe has been racking up acclaim all around the internet. From what I've heard it's an elegant system that is very simple but tactically deep. The models are very nice and my latest project brought the scottish and asian factions to my painting table.
As with the previous models I did my client wants them to look chipped and worn while keeping the faction color prominent. To do this I start by painting the whole model gunmetal and bronze. After a heavy wash of earthshade, I go back in and carefully apply the faction color in a streaky pattern leaving the edges the metallic color. Looking at how things naturally wear, sharp edges tend to get beat up the worst.

When dispensing medication, it is critical to be as accurate and efficient as possible. That's just as true in pharmacies as it is in facilities like nursing homes and hospitals. A great way to enhance efficiency and improve accuracy is by using a medication management system. Medication management systems take much of the guesswork out of dispensing medications. They also free up employees' time and streamline the entire process. Compared with just a few years ago, these systems are more useful and affordable than ever. Find out the top ways that they can help by checking out the following information.
A medication management system can be useful in any situation that involves dispensing medication to several people on a regular basis. When only one or two patients are involved, keeping track of everything is easy. In places like assisted living facilities, hospitals and pharmacies, however, medications need to be dispensed to large groups of people. Unfortunately, human error is an all-too-real issue. These systems eliminate a lot of that error and decrease the risk of serious mistakes. They fit right into such environments with ease.
The importance of dispensing the correct dose of any given medication cannot be overemphasized. Patients' health and well-being are at risk. Even if a very experienced pharmacist or medical professional is in charge, mistakes can and do occur. That's even likelier to happen when medications need to be dispensed to dozens of different people. Keeping track of everything can be extremely confusing. Many times, patients aren't even certain about what they're supposed to take and when they're supposed to take it. Medication management systems improve accuracy by a dramatic margin. In turn, they help to keep people safe.
To keep costs low, it's smart to eliminate waste wherever possible. With a medication management system, more accurate doses are achievable. As a result, less medication is wasted. Similarly, the odds of inadvertently providing the wrong medication, which then needs to be disposed of, drop dramatically as well. With less waste, a pharmacy's or facility's bottom line will be a lot healthier. That is good for business, and it's good for patients as well. After all, lower costs mean more savings. In addition to that, wasting less means being more environmentally friendly. Whether you work in a facility or a pharmacy, you should consider investing in a medication management system today.

What do I need to know before I take Mysimba?
When do I not take Mysimba?
• any of the other ingredients of this medicine.
Do not take Mysimba if you have abnormally high blood pressure (hypertension) that is not controlled by using medicine.
Do not take Mysimba if you have a condition that causes fits (seizures); or you have a history of fits.
Do not take Mysimba if you have a brain tumour.
Do not take Mysimba if you are usually a heavy drinker and you have just stopped drinking alcohol, or are going to stop while you are taking Mysimba.
Do not take Mysimba if you have recently stopped taking sedatives or medicines to treat anxiety (especially benzodiazepines); or if you are going to stop them while you are taking Mysimba.
Do not take Mysimba if you have a bipolar disorder (extreme mood swings).
Do not take Mysimba if you are using any other medicines which contain bupropion or naltrexone (the two main active ingredients in Mysimba).
Do not take Mysimba if you have an eating disorder or have had one in the past (for example, bulimia or anorexia nervosa).
Do not take Mysimba if you are currently dependent on chronic opiates or opiate agonists (for example methadone); or if you are going through acute withdrawal ('cold turkey').
Do not take Mysimba if you are taking medicines for depression or Parkinson's disease called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs); or have taken them in the last 14 days.
Do not take Mysimba if you have severe liver disease.
It is important to talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Mysimba because some pre-existing conditions make it more likely that you could have side effects.
If you feel depressed, are contemplating suicide, have a history of attempting suicide or any other mental health problems, you should tell your doctor before taking Mysimba.
• have a fit (seizure), you should stop taking Mysimba and consult your doctor immediately.
If you have high blood pressure talk to your doctor before taking Mysimba, because it can get worse. Your doctor will measure your blood pressure and heart rate before you start taking Mysimba and while you are taking it. If your blood pressure or heart rate increases significantly, you may need to stop taking Mysimba.
If you have uncontrolled coronary artery disease talk to your doctor before taking Mysimba. Coronary artery disease is heart disease caused by poor blood flow in the blood vessels of the heart. Symptoms may include angina (characterised by chest pain) or a recent heart attack.
If you already have or have had a condition affecting the circulation of blood in the brain (cerebrovascular disease) – talk to your doctor before taking Mysimba.
If you have any liver problems talk to your doctor before taking Mysimba.
If you have any kidney problems talk to your doctor before taking Mysimba.
If you have a history of mania (feeling elated or over-excited, which causes unusual behaviour), talk to your doctor before taking Mysimba.
You must stop taking these medicines for at least 14 days before starting Mysimba.
• diarrhoea medicines like paregoric.
You must have stopped taking any opiate medicines at least seven to 10 days before starting Mysimba. Your doctor may carry out a blood test to make sure that your body has cleared these medicines before starting your treatment.
One of the two main ingredients in Mysimba, naltrexone, blocks the effects of opiates. If you take higher doses of opiates to overcome the effects of naltrexone, you may suffer from an acute opiate intoxication which may be life threatening.
After you stop treatment with Mysimba, you may be more sensitive to low doses of opiates.
Tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines, as your doctor will closely monitor you for side effects.
• theophylline – used to treat asthma.
If you are taking any of these medicines, tell your doctor.
• meglitinides such as nateglinide or repaglinide.
If you are taking any of these, tell your doctor.
Medicines to help you to sleep including sedatives like diazepam may also increase the risk of fits when used alone or in combination with Mysimba. If you are taking any of these, tell your doctor.
• clonidine, a centrally acting antihypertensive.
These are mainly used to treat heart disease or stroke.
Your doctor will closely monitor you for side effects and they may need to adjust the dose of the other medicines you take or of Mysimba.

the festival of lights, celebrated by Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs; one of the most popular holidays in South Asia. Extending over five days, it marks the beginning of the new year in the Vikrama calendar, and usually falls in October or November. Though the holiday celebrates many things depending on the religious tradition, it is associated with the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness, and understanding over ignorance; small earthenware oil lamps are lighted and placed in rows at the tops of buildings and floated on the Ganges and other bodies of water. In Hinduism it welcomes Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and is also associated with a number of legends, e.g., the return of Rama and Sita from exile, Rama's killing of the demon Ravana, and Krishna's slaying of the demon Narakaasura. Jains commemorate Mahavira's attainment of moksha (nirvana); the establishment of the Khalsa and other events marked by Sikhs.


Phil's Occasional Musings: Vacation report, part 8: Vienna!
I set out as early as I could on Saturday, determined to see as much of Vienna as I could. My first stop was Peterskirche (St. Peter's Church).
I had to wait until Mass ended before I could take photos of the interior. There was a guy sitting at the desk just inside the door who gave me the "stink eye" as I stood in the back waiting for the service to wrap up.
Next up was Karlskirche (St. Charles' Church).
The frescoes on the ceiling were unbelievable.
The church was undergoing renovations but they had an elevator in the middle of the nave that took visitors up to the top of the dome for close-ups of the frescoes and the view from the top of the dome. One unique feature of the dome was the "whisper" effect of the acoustics. I could hear two men talking on the other side of the dome, 40 feet away, as if they were standing next to me. It reminded me of the dome at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, which had a similar sound effect.
I wandered through the Naschmarkt for lunch, then hopped on Vienna's subway system for a visit to Schonnbrunn Palace, the former summer residence of the Habsburg dynasty.
I'd skipped the Imperial Apartments at the Hofburg on Friday, but I was not about to miss the apartments at Schonnbrunn, including the famous Mirror Room where a six-year-old Mozart gave his first performance for Empress Maria Theresia. I admit that I got chills standing in the same room where Mozart once stood. Yes, I'm that geeky. I lingered in the gardens and "backyard" of the palace, marveling at how royalty used to live. Who needs that much house? According to the audio guide, the palace used to require over a thousand servants to maintain it. It's good to be the emperor.
My legs were starting to give out on me, but it was only 6 PM and I hadn't heard a concert in Vienna yet. I took the subway back to central Vienna and meandered back to my hotel past several more churches, most of them closing for the day. I was able to see Minoritenkirche inside and out, and as I passed Michaelerkirche I saw that they offered a free organ recital at 8 PM that night. Score! The organ in the church was built in 1714 and it is the oldest working Baroque organ in Austria. How could I pass up a chance to hear it?
The recital consisted of music from before 1700 and included a soprano soloist. The organ sound was sublime, almost ethereal. The bass notes didn't shake the floor like the organs I've heard in the United States do, but they're all of Victorian or later vintage and I suspect that the massive organ sound I'm accustomed to is a product of that era. I imagined that this was the sort of organ Bach would have played for all those cantatas he wrote in Leipzig. There was a church employee (the "MC") who introduced the soloist and the music and told us a few "fun facts" about the organ and the church. He said that Michaelerkirche was the site of the first performance of Mozart's Requiem in December 1791, and that they think that Haydn himself used to play the organ at the church as he lived nearby.
After the recital the organist invited the audience up to the organ loft for a tour and a demonstration of the workings of the organ. He only spoke German so the "MC" provided near-simultaneous English translation. I had the feeling these two had done this routine before. The organ console had a speaker on it so that the orchestra and choir (which would sit up in the organ loft as well) could hear the organ, much as monitors work for a rock band in concert. The soloist played a few measures of one of the pieces from the recital with all of us standing up there, so we could hear and feel the organ up close. The whole event was fascinating.
I had dinner at Figlmuller's, the best restaurant for schnitzel in Vienna. I looked at the menu but didn't need it. A minute after I sat down the waiter brought the gentlemen next to me their food, and I said "I'll have what they're having."
The schnitzel was so large it overflowed the plate it was on. And I ate every bit of it. The potato salad wasn't bad, and I liked the bits of watercress that served as my vegetable for the day. I wandered around for a while, soaking up the environment and letting my dinner settle, before stopping at a cafe for a beer and dessert. Surprisingly, the sugary Sacher torte didn't keep me awake late that night. I slept well after all that walking around.
I enjoyed reading about your Vienna experience and seeing your pictures. I was there in late Feb. 2007 and loved it! I would love to visit again when it's warmer out for a different experience.
Vienna has lots of historical holy places. We used to travel there every 3 years during the holy month.


Synopsis : Information regarding the development of what may be the first non steroidal oral contraceptive pill for males.
Could a birth control pill for men be on the horizon- Retinoic acid receptor antagonist interferes with sperm production.
Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center are honing in on the development of what may be the first non-steroidal, oral contraceptive for men.
(The abstract, titled Meeting Men's Contraceptive Needs Long-Term Oral-Administered Retinoic Acid Receptor Antagonist Inhibits Spermatogenesis in Mice with a Reversible and Rapid Recovery, will be presented at the session by first author Sanny S. W. Chung, Ph.D., on Saturday, June 4, 11:15 a.m., Room 157ABC, Boston Convention & Exhibition Center).
Scientists have known for almost 100 years that depriving an animal of dietary vitamin A causes male sterility.
While investigating targeted loss of function of the gene encoding one of the RARs, RAR-alpha, which results in male infertility, senior author Debra J. Wolgemuth, Ph.D., ran across a paper by Bristol-Myers Squibb on a compound that was being tested for the treatment of skin and inflammatory diseases. The compound seemed to cause changes in the testis similar to the mutation that she and Dr. Chung were studying in Dr. Wolgemuth's lab.
Bristol-Myers dropped its interest when it found that the compound also was - in the company's words - "a testicular toxin." The paper did not elaborate on how the drug caused infertility, so Dr. Wolgemuth and her team tested the drug in mice to find out; they noted that the changes it caused were similar to what one sees with vitamin A-deficiency and loss of function of RAR-alpha.
"We were intrigued," said Dr. Wolgemuth. "One company's toxin may be another person's contraceptive."
To investigate whether the compound prevented conception at even lower levels than those cited in the company's study, Dr. Wolgemuth and her team placed the treated male mice with females and found that reversible male sterility occurred with doses as low as 1.0mg/kg of body weight for a 4-week dosing period.
"We have seen no side effects, so far, and our mice have been mating quite happily," said Dr. Wolgemuth.
"An additional benefit of our compound is that it can be taken orally as a pill, avoiding the injection process. It also appears to have a very rapid effect on sperm production and an even more rapid recovery when fertility is desired," said Dr. Chung.
But to make the pill a reality, researchers need to show that the compound is safe, effective - and reversible - when used for years.
Drs. Wolgemuth and Chung are now planning longer-term studies to determine how long fertility can be disrupted and still recover after administration of the drug stops. "We hope that in the not so distant future, we may finally have more choices for people," said Dr. Chung.

Paul Stanley: 'Hall Of Fame Show Will Not Include Original Members'
KISS frontman PAUL STANLEY has wrecked fans' dreams of watching the original members of the group performing together when they are inducted in to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in April (14), insisting a reunion "seems unlikely".
The colourful rockers will join Peter Gabriel, Cat Stevens and Nirvana, among others, in the museum's class of 2014 and Stanley insists they will perform at the ceremony - but it won't be an original line-up reunion.
The singer made his feelings clear after a fan asked him about the possibility of including Ace Frehley and Peter Criss in his and bassist Gene Simmons Hall of Fame plans.
Stanley initially wrote, "No way", and then added, "Seems unlikely".
And that paves the way for another Hall of Fame feud - because guitarist Frehley is keen to perform and replace current KISS star Tommy Thayer onstage.
Frehley has said, "You can't have me and Tommy both in makeup... I don't have a problem with Tommy and (current drummer) Eric (Singer) being there out of make-up if I'm in make-up, because they're a big part of KISS today. (But) they had nothing to do with the beginning of KISS, or the designs or the costumes or the make-up... This is about the celebration of KISS and how it all began and started, and it should be honouring the four original members."

The goal of preventative dentistry is to highlight the importance of oral hygiene. Daily use of oral hygiene products approved by the American Dental Association (ADA) is the best way to prevent teeth decay and disease.
Preventative dental procedures include regular teeth cleanings, x-rays, oral cancer screenings, and more. Learn about the benefits of preventative dentistry procedures.
It is recommended to perform professional teeth cleaning every six months. A standard dental cleaning procedure will scale and polish your teeth to remove any plaque or tartar buildup between teeth or near the gumline. Cleaning and polishing of teeth should be painless. Your dental hygienist will also inspect each tooth and surrounding gums during your routine dental exam.
A dental x-ray procedure must be carried out before any dental services are issued. You may be screened for two types of dental x-rays: a panoramic dental x-ray (2D) and a 3D x-ray. Dental x-rays are safe for the patient, and can be taken directly from the inside of the mouth (intraoral x-ray) or from the outside of the jaw (extraoral x-ray). Routine dental x-rays are covered by most insurance providers.
Different dental materials can be used to extend the longevity of your teeth. A dental sealants procedure involves coating your teeth with a thin coat of plastic to prevent cavities from forming in the grooves of your molars. Alternatively, your dentist can offer you a professional fluoride varnish containing fluoride mineral (which is very effective at protecting teeth from cavity formation).
During an oral cancer screen, your dentist will examine your entire oral cavity, including your throat, gumline, tongue, and jaw. This examination takes place during your routine visit to the dentist, even if you are not experiencing any symptoms. Oral cancer signs include chronic sores and random mouth bleeding; fortunately, radiation therapy is effective for mouth cancer treatment.
You can preserve the integrity of your teeth simply by eating healthy whole foods and getting regular exercise. Natural, unprocessed ingredients do not contain as much sugar as processed foods, which encourage cavity formation. Carbonated and acidic beverages like soda or coffee can also wear the enamel over time.
A daily brushing regimen paired with good flossing technique are the best dental care tips to prevent major teeth problems in the future. Brushing and flossing effectively remove harmful bacteria around the mouth, which would otherwise cause decay or disease. Routine dental care is covered through basic dental insurance to help you maintain the health of your mouth.

We've had some great interviews and will be publishing more very soon. I'm currently working on my interview and concert review of my meeting with Joe Bonamassa and we've got some in the works, including Brian Ray and Drew Berlin of the Burst Brothers...so stay tuned.
For now, enjoy my interviews with legendary Les Paul expert Vic DaPra, veteran guitarist and songwriter Tom Guerra about his album release. Also, I've got a couple published from the 2014 Orlando Guitar Show with Hal Hammer and Bowler Brothers Guitars.


The Advanced Driving Centre wants to ensure that you learn and master the driving skills that you want. You have the option of choosing from our available modules and are able to build your own program. What ever your goals are when it comes to driving we can help you design your perfect program.
We can help companies develop a customized program specifically designed to meet the unique needs of your fleet drivers and/or employees.
Do You Want to Build Your Own Program?
We are committed to delivering programs designed to meet you or your company's needs.
Build your own will create a flexible program that you can customize to your needs.
Gravel shoulder recovery, head-on collision avoidance, emergency braking, emergency escape techniques, how to handle animals on the highway, the challenges of long drivers, freeway driving, heavy traffic, freeway on and off ramps, predicting the unpredictable, analyzing traffic flow and conditions.
The vast majority of drivers consider themselves to be above average drivers. Despite this belief, 85% of collisions are due to driver error. In this module, clients will learn advanced collision avoidance techniques. Topics covered include the "S"approach, rear crash avoidance, head-on collision avoidance and LCR scanning.
The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has recently stated that distracted driving has surpassed impaired driving as a factor in fatal collisions. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) determined that over 3300 people were killed and an estimated 421,000 injured in distraction-affected crashes in 2012. This module covers the many issues surrounding this topic. In particular, how drivers have underestimated this problem for years and the myths surrounding multi-tasking. The cell phone has brought this topic to the forefront and this module will explore these everyday problems and will suggest appropriate solutions.
This module explains the best methods to control a vehicle in emergency situations. Topics to be covered include gravel shoulder recovery, how to best maneuver around problems and how to most effectively use your eyes to guide your vehicle to safety.
A challenging off-set slalom, slalom in reverse, avoid and swerving techniques, brake and swerving techniques, rear-crash avoidance, emergency braking and adverse road conditions can be simulated.
Many of the newest cars and light trucks come factory-equipped with recently developed, technological equipment. Do you know how this equipment really works? Do you train your employees in their proper use? This new technology includes back-up cameras, lane departure warning systems, braking assistance systems and blind spot indicators, to name a few. Do you know what ABS stands for? What about ESC? ABS and ESC have been around since the early 1990's. Both systems are now standard equipment on all new cars and light trucks sold in Canada. Many experienced drivers still do not know how to use ABS and ESC for optimum safety and performance.
This module will cover vehicle dynamics including loss of traction, skid avoidance methods and the proper techniques to recover from skids and slides. The Instructor will explain that the methods to avoid skids change depending on the available technology of the vehicle. Also covered are hydroplaning, black ice, whiteouts and freezing rain.
This module will explore the mindset of the driver. What motivates drivers? Why do drivers do the things they do when they drive? Why do drivers over-rate their skills? Why do drivers succumb to road rage? This module will have discussion based learning that explores the experiences that all drivers share and what drivers can do to modify their behavior going forward.
We don't see nearly as well as we think we do. Human eyes are not the best in the world. Our bigger brains improve and enhance what our eyes actually see. Did you know that our sharpest vision is only 3 degrees wide and we see everything upside down and our brain flips it right-side up? What is Inattentional Blindness? How and why do things disappear in plain sight? This module explains the eye techniques that will keep you safer.
Safe trailer hookups, use of external mirrors, trailer handling and cornering concerns, load placement guidelines, developing your reversing skills and trailer maintenance and storage.
Understanding vehicle dynamics, winter safety equipment, winter tires vs all-season vs all-weather tires, emergency braking techniques, vehicle handing, avoiding a rear crash, defensive maneuvers.
