Cotton Wood Point recently began offering a new, free class for their residents- senior yoga. Senior yoga is an adaptation of yoga that residents can perform in their chairs, using the resistance of their own bodies. The yoga class is open to all residents, and is held every Thursday morning at 9 a.m.
Chair yoga concentrates on breathing, stretching and relaxing. Yoga breathing is said to help people with anxiety and insomnia, making it a good addition for Cotton Wood Point residents. Soft music is played throughout the class to help relax participants.
The Cotton Wood Point yoga instructor makes the class interactive and fun. She explains each stretch and exercise, and is happy to answer any questions participants have. If a participant has an injury or is unable to complete a specific stretch, the instructor can tailor the workout for that participant.
If you would like to check out the new yoga class, stop by the activity room Thursday mornings to see what senior yoga is all about. To learn more about Cotton Wood Point, visit them online at http://www.kwch.com/fetchtoto/Business-Directory/cottonwoodpoint/-/22113842/-/148o2q7z/-/index.html.

Here's the data sheet for that pump:
Goulds pump for sale 395$ . Model #18LS15412 says 11 stage 1.5 Hp 3 wire.
New- old stock. Is this a good pump and can it provide a few gallons from
400-500 foot pump depth? Cannot find specs on line. Found a similar one for 895$
Opinions on the deal?
Thank you Rancher. Not the pump for 500' but seems a great deal for the price.
Specs were in Spanish, but gave me the info I needed.
English version
The LS and GS appear to be the same except for the discharge head and motor adapter, silicon bronze vs Stainless. Also check valve components are different.
They were $435 shipped the first time around but none sold.
That pump will poop out at 350 feet. It will not push water a foot higher than that.
I doubt anyone but a distributor can buy that pump for that price, so I would be leary of what I'm getting.
It isn't the pump depth that matters; it is the depth to water in the well when pumping.Originally Posted by Raucina
The motor could be put on a 7GS15 pump head or a 5GS15 pump head and would give you about 6 GPM if it is 400 to 500 ft to water surface when drawn down by pumping.
A 1.5 HP single phase 2-wire motor is $520 in my Grainger catalog; a 3-wire is $418 but you need a control box. The lower flow pump head will cost more than the one you have because it has more stages.
Is this the one on the online auction place, if not there is one there at a buy it now price that is about $10 cheaper.
I'll have a look - I recall that one was a 2 wire ?
Seller claims its old stock from a supply house that closed. 7 available.
I did buy a Goulds 2hm1f2e0 SS 5 stage 3 phase booster pump, 1.5 HP -
895$ list at 150$. Probably no one wanted the 3 phase unit - new in box.
For you big guys out there he has a 60[! ] HP submersible for 3 grand. Probably half or less of list.
Any opinions on the quality of the Goulds 5 stage booster pumps? Its a large diameter impeller, not like the cheap submersibles laid on their side.
Looking for the pump curve on that one too.
Thanks in advance for any info
Do you have a link where we can look at this pump. I'm not a big Goulds fan, so I'm not all that familiar with their pump line. I always figured any pump company that owned their own Nascar, and did the advertising that Goulds does, must be over pricing their units.
Check the famous auction house that Rancher mentioned. Please leave one of the submersibles for me. If I were big in the biz, I would grab that 6" 60HP submersible in a heartbeat - and there are three available in crates. Probably less than the Franklin motors cost alone. PLease send me a 10% commision if you sell one at a huge profit.
Any opinions on the 5 stage booster? looks like a great unit from the pics.
Indeed they are overpricing - thats why I grab these at 25% of list or less.
correction - the 60 HP is a motor only
Last edited by Raucina; 01-15-2007 at 10:23 PM.
My net cost on a 60hp 6" motor is $2940.00. List $8470.00.

From journal Hong Kong for my Birthday

London, United Kingdom
August 8, 2005
The rooms were in pristine condition, with all the usual hotel amenities. For the money, I thought it was really good. It wasn't a lot more than a higher-end hostel, and it's in a great location--right on the bottom tip of the Kowloon peninsula, in the thick of all the shops and only two minutes from the Star Ferry across to Hong Kong island.
There's a gym there (which costs extra) and a swimming pool (included, with Jacuzzi). There's a restaurant downstairs which you get discount vouchers for, but you're better off stepping out into the throng of other options outside.
I can't vouch for all the rooms, but ours had a great view over the skyline on Hong Kong island.
For a hotel in such a central location, the Salisbury is definitely worth the money.

The hotel location was very convenient to reaching the Star Ferry and shopping on Nathan Street. We had a great view of the river from our window eventhough we weren't paying extra for a Harbour View room. We overlooked the Hong Kong Cultural Center across the street. The skyline of Hong Kong Island and Victoria Harbor were just beyond it.
Our standard room was painted a pale yellow and not very large, but it was quiet, comfortable and clean and included a TV, air conditioning, mini-bar and coffee maker. The hotel also offered several sports and recreational options with its 2 pools, jacuzzi, sauna, fitness center, squash courts, climbing wall, dance studio, shops and tour activities desk. It is also child friendly and offers baby-sitting service and has a children's library.

It's never too early to see what's under the hood for the world's car makers. Because of the peculiarities of the industry, some 2014 models have already been shown at auto shows like Paris and Frankfurt, or pictures have been released in advance of other shows like Los Angeles (in November) and Detroit (January).
Manufacturers like to keep new models under wraps until the very last minute, lest they steal sales from outgoing models, but sometimes complex logistics or simply corporate flag-waving take precedence over sales tactics.
For those who can't wait for the official start of the 2014 model year on October 1, 2013, here is a peek at some of the all-new cars and crossovers that will be emerging from design studios and engineering centers.
The jurors who pick the North American Car of the Year have come out with their shortlist. Our juror gives his odds.

Morales's plane landed overnight after the aircraft was denied access to French and Portuguese airspace over suspicions that U.S. fugitive Edward Snowden was on board, authorities in La Paz said. Austrian officials eventually announced that Snowden was not on board, but FP's Dana Stuster has drawn up a guide to other ways the NSA leaker could smuggle himself out of the Moscow airport where he's reportedly taken refuge.

Hans, this is my new favourite super strat!! Congrats on the "new" axe and awesome job PTC as per usual!
Real nice, Hans! Stellar work!
This guitar has a lot of low-end heft. I just yanked the Tremonti and dropped in my favorite PRS pickup from the 80's; a Deep Dish 2. It matches the spirit of this instrument perfectly.
It just rips in this guitar and works perfectly with the single-coil combinations Mr. Zimmers cooked up. This guitar + the Tiny Terror I scored from Sergio is a special combination.
I am a happy camper!

A male whale and his mate were swimming around in the ocean, when all of a sudden, the male whale catches sight of a whaling vessel in the distance.
He takes a closer look, and recognizes it as the ship that harpooned his parents many years ago. So, he turns to his girlfriend and tells her that he wants to avenge the death of his parents. She hesitates, knowing that they could become the next victims of the vessel, but he reassures her and tells her that he has been planning this all of his life, and he swims over and whispers the plan to her.
So, she agrees and they swim up under one side of the boat, and they both start blowing air through their blow holes. The boat starts to rock back-and-forth, and the sailors on the ship are scrambling all over the deck.

The European Forum for Food Sovereignty
Declaration from the European Forum for Food Sovereignty, Krems, Austria.
In August the European Forum for Food Sovereignty took place in Krems, Austria. Following Nyeleni Mali 2007, the idea was to get people together from organizations already involved in the issues of food sovereignty.
The forum was attended by 400 delegates from 34 European countries (from Portugal to Azerbajan), on behalf of more than 120 organizations. The goal of the meeting was to look at food sovereignty from a European perspective.
At the end of the forum a declaration was produced which can be read here
Representatives from Real World Radio, our online radio station, were also present to interview some of those in attendance. You can listen to the interviews here.

I've only had my softener for a few weeks and thanks to you guys it's working great.
I only added two 40lb bags of potassium to make sure it worked good since I bought it on Craigslist (the softener was brand new in the box)
Anyways, the manual said the days between regeneration would be a little erratic for a few weeks until the softener got used to our water usage.
The salt lever goes from 1-8 and I had it at 2 and it said recharge in 39 days but over the course of a week I looked at it at night and it said recharge tonight and it's recharges two times in the last week.
Question is, if it said 39 days then why would it want to recharge.
Also, I just added more potassium to level 7 and it now says 169 days until recharge.
why does it recharge less frequently if there's more potassium or salt in it ?
So does keeping the level higher save water since it would regenerate less often ?
I'm using potassium because the softener goes through the whole house including the backyard.

Plan Your Franconia and the German Danube Vacation
All that is left of the huge, ancient kingdom of the Franks is the region known today as Franken (Franconia), stretching from the Bohemian Forest on the Czech border to the outskirts of Frankfurt. The Franks were not only tough warriors but also hard workers, sharp tradespeople, and burghers with a good political nose. The word frank means bold, wild, and courageous in the old Frankish tongue. It was only in the early 19th century, following Napoléon's conquest of what is now southern Germany, that the area was incorporated into northern Bavaria.

Maffew Ragazino – River Phoenix LyricsFollow
[Verse 1: Mattfew Ragazino]
Pants sagging and my hat low
Show up to your black and white affair in my bathrobe
Furry slippers, Polo socks, what an asshole
No class, no coupe, so irrational
Can't explain, he's insane, must be bath salt
Molly crew, paper gang, money back coat
You could tell by mopping shoes and her back bloak
You could tell by (?) shoes and her back broke
Sad, but shed your crocodile tears
(?) medley 'till that be a pants here
Nobody think shit stinks untill it's smeared in your face
Motherfucker now take a look in your mirror
Fuck your life, pussy nigga, fuck your life
This my third, I died twice, might fuck once, but not twice, no
New Jersey drive, hot wire, joy rider
Get a (?), kick her out, sky dive her
Death Row, only thing that we missing is Suge
I stood over your misses, I'm so misunderstood
I look down at the top of a scalp
Real niggas know what I'm talking about
When she go home you give her mouth to mouth
Two roads diversed, I emerged on a paper route
Rick James, I'll stand on your freaking couch
Bottles of (?), I'm balling; Timothy Couch
I'm in the building, my nigga, I'm in the house
I'm in the building, my nigga, I'm in the house
Embracing my angels, dancing with demons
I'm overdosing; River Phoenix
[Verse 2]
That mean I'm tailing since pale
Flyest thing in the field
Got your bitch naked in heels
Iron steeming my bills
Implemented my game, re-instated that real
Flow is like persian brown, define Hollywood heels
This shit is genius, how I slide in seamless
Supply the sequence with some G shit, break it down to pieces
(?) the real, I rock the colosseum
Got niggas with just like Wakim, you couldn't win by cheating
Beasting on anything that you press play
Rotten with (?), stick it intention in the West Bank
Fresh franks, line up the wallet inside the skylids pocket
So if that convo ain't about dollars ain't got time to chop it
Stop it, hater, you don't really know what you're doing
Y'all niggas sweet, who you think you're fucking fooling?
Heard they out there fronting on the kid
You never know hard that wallet is untill you run into it
[Verse 3]
Beefing whoever we after equals disaster
Uno when it comes to that China, he Zen master
LV the loafer, while sitting on sofa
We bow tie killers, classy enough for a coaster
Worldwide paper, ho, we globally getting dough
Mami got good brain, I just get it and go
Fuck these niggas talking, they ain't talking shit
If we ain't freaking like (?) I just talk to your bitch
I'm from the hood where they pistol play
Shoot who's talking, you could get killed over the shit you say
All I need is a bad bitch with patron and an ounce
Ass fat, and he gotta be good with her mouth

Tear the town up, a couple of grand, and I'm out
Out, third strike, you're in jeopardy, nigga

I think they check out the neighborhood and size you up, and if you look like you're got $$ then they charge as much as they want to. Of course you never hire them again. I know a guy who majored in Physics, who makes $90 a hour working at a major aerospace company. I keep telling him he could be making $100 - $200 an hour as a plumber. I've been replacing sewer pipes in my driveway. I got 2 quotes of $12,000 and $6,500 for the job. It's going to wind up taking me about 30 hours and costing my about $500. So I've been saving $200 an hour!
Learning to do your own plumbing and buying your own tools is one of the best investments of your time and money.

Baby boomers like the discount, but they don't care for the "senior" that goes with it. They feel the same way about the "senior" center.
For boomers, the senior designation denotes elderly, and as we all know, baby boomers will never be elderly no matter how elderly they get to be.
The term senior didn't always come with negative-ish connotations.
When you are in high school, you long to be a senior with all its divine rights and privileges.
When you are in college, senior marks the culmination of four years of hard work and hangovers.
When you are losing the spring in your chicken, however, senior is not a sought after milestone, although it does beat the alternative.
One reason boomers don't like the term senior is because it is too broad, too all encompassing. When do you become senior?
When you qualify for Social Security?
When you have accumulated at least 10 pairs of drug-store reading glasses, none of which you can find?
Or does it begin on that sobering moment right around your 50th birthday when the mail includes greetings from AARP?
The reason that senior remains the default designation for gathering places and discounts is because no one has come up with an acceptable alternative.
The best I could do is Club Med-a-care, although I would not be averse to stealing the name often associated with Florida: "God's Waiting Room."
Probably the area in which baby boomers most often have to deal with the senior tag is when it comes to discounts. Baby boomers love discounts, mind you, but will often forego them because of the senior affiliation.
Of course, what is worse then asking for the senior discount, is being asked if you would like the senior discount.
While I obviously had no legitimate contribution as far as renaming the Senior Center, I think I have an excellent option when it comes to the senior discount.
If you had to divide life into three general stages, they would be:
Middle Age.
You Look Good.
Why not change the "senior" discount, to the "you-look-good" discount?
I mean, who could be offended when the young, attractive cashier says:
"I assume you want the you-look-good discount?"

I finally broke down and purchased the guaged files for bass guitar. These things are great! Does a pro job in half the time. There's nothing like the right tool for the job! Thanks Stewart-MacDonald!
I've been using this style fret file from Stew Mac...the whole set for years....can't wear them out....the best.
These are not your ordinary files. I'm not quite sure what I was expecting when I ordered these. For many years I have become quite accustomed to using bench files and rasps. I was kind of kicking around the idea that maybe these nut files were in some way similar to Swiss cut bench files.Was I surprised!
These are like diamond coated files. They also proved to be quite evenly coated which was also a surprise and real treat because they cut better than typical bench files.
I needed to cut a new bone nut I had installed on my '77 Electra X410. These files cut VERY quickly. Almost too quick for comfort! Probably should put a warning note on them.
Of course, I was well pleased with the finish. Much smoother than I expected. I had a small piece of polishing cloth handy to clean out the string slots and they felt quite smooth as they were so I strung up the guitar and it tunes easily and holds that tune very well.
Stew-Mac has a real winner here. If you don't have any of these files you would do well to start building your set now.
Great product! Definitely the right tool for the job.
Love these nut files but in my opinion you also need some of the abrasive cord to smooth out the slots after filing. Also in my opinion, you have to do that with any slotting files. These cut fairly quick so that's a plus.
Pretty good. Pretty....pretty.... pretty good.
These files also is good and really save time,but the end of the edges are flat in small sizes and little bit round at big sizes but have not good grip as the others !
So If they had the end edges perfectly round like a string, i do not have use the old strings to make the round cuts,all kn
very good product, easy to use and does the job just perfect
I always used a small triangular and round needle file to slot nuts, but this file is absolutely perfect, as I can do all the string slots, narrow and wide, by simply angling the file a little to widen the string slot. Quick and accurate!
I've never bought a guitar on which the nut set up was suitable. Stewmac nut files make that task a breeze....G Lynch

BOUSSY-SAINT-ANTOINE, France, February 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Orange has installed the FrontLink™58 wireless solution on its 4G network. This successful installation confirms that EBlink's Wireless Fronthaul technology meets the same performance standards as fiber on mobile networks. EBlink's solution allows for faster and easier deployment of 4G and future 5G networks.
Ahead of this year's World Mobile Congress in Barcelona (Feb. 24-27), EBlink announces that its FrontLink™58 solution has been successfully installed on the Orange network.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140213/668677 )
"Our solution represents a technological breakthrough, because the FrontLink™58 system provides revolutionary spectral efficiency: over 7 Gbps CPRI on a wireless link within a 100MHz bandwidth. With unequaled performance, our wireless fronthaul solutions offer new possibilities to mobile operators in their network deployment. Our time-to-market is immediate, and we're working on technical and commercial partnerships with leading industrials to accelerate the distribution of our products internationally," explains Alain ROLLAND, EBlink's founder and CEO.
"We expect to double this technical performance in 2015, and again the following year. Everything indicates that mobile network architectures will rely on Fronthaul links, to enable the use of those technologies essential for the high-speed service expected (Comp, Massive MIMO, etc.). Studies have shown that within these architectures, wireless fronthaul links allow for a decrease in deployment costs of around 30%. Our wireless fronthaul technology was developed with this in mind," adds Christian BITTAR, EBlink's co-founder and COO.
"In just a few months, EBlink has demonstrated that it can attain the ambitious performance levels predicted. It's remarkable," comments Jean-Luc Vuillemin, director of the Orange France network. "From Orange's point of view, it's important that the OEMs participate in the integration of this new technology. For our part, we have created a team that is working with EBlink to study all the possibilities this technology holds for the Orange network."
EBlink will be present at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (Feb. 24-27), and invites you to visit its booth (Hall 7-7C18) to learn more about its technology and solutions.

Prescription drug
A prescription drug (also prescription medication or prescription medicine) is a licensed medicine that is regulated by legislation to require a medical prescription before it can be obtained. The term is used to distinguish it from over-the-counter drugs that can be obtained without a prescription. Different jurisdictions have different definitions of what constitutes a prescription drug.
"Rx" is often used as a short form for prescription drug in North America. It is an abbreviation for the Latin "recipe", an imperative form of "recipere", meaning "take".[1]
Prescription drugs are often dispensed together with a monograph (in Europe, a Patient Information Leaflet or PIL) that gives detailed information about the drug.
Regulation in United States[edit]
|Regulation of therapeutic goods in the United States
|Prescription drugs
Over-the-counter drugs
Non-governmental organizations
In the United States, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act defines what requires a prescription. In general, prescription drugs are authorized by veterinarians, dentists, optometrists, medical practitioners, and advanced practice nurses. In general, it is required that an MD, DO, PA, OD, DPM, NMD, ND, DVM, DDS, or DMD, some psychologists (see medical psychology), clinical pharmacists, nurse practitioners, and other APRNs write the prescription; basic-level registered nurses, medical assistants, emergency medical technicians, most psychologists, and social workers as examples, do not have the authority to prescribe drugs.[2]
The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) was enacted into law by the Congress of the United States in 1970. The CSA is the federal U.S. drug policy under which the manufacture, importation, possession, use and distribution of certain substances is regulated. The legislation created five Schedules (classifications), with varying qualifications for a substance to be included in each.
The safety and effectiveness of prescription drugs in the US is regulated by the federal Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is charged with implementing this law.
The package insert for a prescription drug contains information about the intended effect of the drug and how it works in the body. It also contains information about side-effects, how a patient should take the drug, and cautions for its use, including warnings about allergies.
As a general rule, over-the-counter drugs (OTC) are used to treat conditions not necessarily requiring care from a healthcare professional and have been proven to meet higher safety standards for self-medication by patients. Often a lower strength of a drug will be approved for OTC use, whereas higher strengths require a prescription to be obtained; a notable case is ibuprofen, which has been widely available as an OTC pain killer since the mid-1980s but is still available by prescription in doses up to four times the OTC dose for use in cases of severe pain not adequately controlled by the lower, OTC strength.
Herbal preparations, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and other food supplements are regulated by the FDA as dietary supplements. Because specific health claims cannot be made, the consumer must make informed decisions when purchasing such products.[3] In June 2007, the FDA issued the Dietary Supplement Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) Final Rule FDA 21 CFR Part 111. In essence, the final rule requires that the proper controls be in place for dietary supplements during manufacturing, packaging, labeling, and holding operations.[4]
In the United States, the term "prescription drug" is most commonly used, but they are also called Rx-only drugs or legend drugs, after the Federal and State laws that mandate that all such drugs bear a "legend" prohibiting sale without a prescription; though more complex legends have been used, on most original drug packaging today the legend simply states "Rx only".
Also, pharmacies operated by membership clubs, such as Costco and Sam's Club, by law must allow non-members to use their pharmacy services and must charge the same prices as to members.[citation needed]
Physicians may legally prescribe drugs for uses other than those specified in the FDA approval; this is known as off-label use. Drug companies may not promote or market drugs for off-label uses.
Large U.S. retailers that operate pharmacies and pharmacy chains use inexpensive generic drugs as a way to attract customers into stores. Several chains, including Walmart, Kroger (including subsidiaries such as Dillons), Target, and others, offer $4 monthly prescriptions on select generic drugs as a customer draw.[5] Publix Supermarkets, which has pharmacies in many of their stores, offers free prescriptions on a few older but still effective medications to their customers. The maximum supply is for 30 days.
Regulation in United Kingdom[edit]
In the United Kingdom the Medicines Act 1968 governs the manufacture and supply of three categories of medicine:[6]
- Prescription-only medicines (POM), which can be sold by a pharmacist if prescribed by a prescriber
- Pharmacy medicines (P), which may be sold by a pharmacist without prescription
- General sales list (GSL) medicines that may be sold without a prescription in any shop
Possession of prescription-only medicines without a prescription is not a criminal offence unless it falls under the Misuse of Drugs Act.[6]
A patient visits a medical practitioner authorised to prescribe drugs and certain other medical items, such as blood glucose-testing equipment for diabetics. Also, suitably qualified and experienced nurses and pharmacists may be independent prescribers. Both can prescribe all POMs but pharmacists are not allowed to prescribe controlled drugs. District nurses and health visitors have had limited prescribing rights since the mid-nineties, before which prescriptions for dressings and simple medicines would have had to have been signed by a doctor.
Most prescriptions in the UK are NHS prescriptions, which can be taken to a pharmacy to be dispensed. The NHS prescription fee is £8.05 per item in England (as of 1 April 2014),[7] however prescription charges have been completely abolished in Scotland,[8] Wales and Northern Ireland.[9]
Prescription charges are paid entirely to the NHS through the pharmacy, while the pharmacy claims back from the NHS the cost of the medicine dispensed. Most of the prescriptions dispensed on the NHS are exempt from charges.
The per-item fee applies regardless of the quantity of each item prescribed by the doctor, and regardless of the underlying cost of the medicine to the NHS. This means that the financial impact on the patient of this system of fees can vary enormously - the actual cost of the medicine given out may vary from a few pence to hundreds of pounds. However, medical practitioners can prescribe a maximum three months supply of the medicine for it to be covered under the NHS. If a medical practitioner wishes to prescribe a supply in excess of three months, the prescriber must write a separate private prescription for the balance of the medicine supply in excess of three months, for which the patient must pay the actual price as charged by the pharmacist.[10][11] Private prescriptions are also issued by medical practitioners seen privately or sometimes for medicines not covered on the NHS.[10][11] For these, the patient will pay the pharmacy directly for the cost of the medicine and the pharmacy's dispensing fee.
In 2007, a survey conducted by Ipsos Mori found that 800,000 people failed to collect a prescription during 2007 due to the cost.[12]
Regulation in Australia[edit]
In Australia the Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons, abbreviated SUSMP, governs the manufacture and supply of drugs:[6]
The categories defined by the SUSMP are:
- Schedule 1 - Defunct
- Schedule 2 - Pharmacy Medicine
- Schedule 3 - Pharmacist-Only Medicine
- Schedule 4 - Prescription-Only Medicine/Prescription Animal Remedy
- Schedule 5 - Caution
- Schedule 6 - Poison
- Schedule 7 - Dangerous Poison
- Schedule 8 - Controlled Drug (Possession without authority illegal)
- Schedule 9 - Prohibited Substance
- Unscheduled Substances
Similar to the UK, the patient visits a health practitioner, such as a doctor, nurse, dentist, podiatrist, etc., who is able to prescribe the drug.
Many prescriptions issued by health practitioners in Australia are covered by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, a scheme that provides subsidised prescription drugs to residents of Australia to ensure that all Australians have affordable and reliable access to a wide range of necessary medicines. When purchasing a drug under the PBS the maximum price a consumer pays is the patient co-payment contribution, which, as of January 1, 2014, is A$36.90 for general patients. Those covered by government entitlements (low-income earners, welfare recipients, Health Care Card holders, etc.) and those covered under the Repatriation Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (RPBS) have a reduced co-payment, which is $6.00 in 2014. The table below indicates the changes in co-payments over the years. These co-payments are compulsory and cannot be discounted by pharmacies under any circumstances.
Private prescriptions that are for medicines not covered on the PBS or for medicines being used for indications other than that are covered by the PBS are also issued. For these prescriptions, the patient will pay the pharmacy directly for the cost of the medicine and the pharmacy's dispensing fee.
Expiration date[edit]
The expiration date, required in several countries, specifies the date up to which the manufacturer guarantees the full potency and safety of a drug. Most drugs are potent and safe for some time after the expiration date. A study conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration covered over 100 drugs, prescription and over-the-counter. The results showed that about 85% of them were safe and effective as far as 15 years past their expiration date. Joel Davis, a former FDA expiration-date compliance chief, said that with a handful of exceptions - notable ones being nitroglycerin, insulin, tetracyclines (causing Fanconi Syndrome) and some liquid antibiotics - most expired drugs are probably effective.[13]
The American Medical Association (AMA) issued a report and statement on Pharmaceutical Expiration Dates.[14] The Harvard Medical School Family Health Guide notes that, with rare exceptions, "it's true the effectiveness of a drug may decrease over time, but much of the original potency still remains even a decade after the expiration date".[15]

UK's Beijing medal hopes •

Re: UK's London Olympic medal contenders
Another thought on Europe and "progress"...
Some of the European records are $%#*&@ HARD! 19.72, 1:41:11, 2.42, 8.86A, 18.29, 6.14A, 9026, 86.74, 98.48, 74.08, 23.06 are incredible and most haven't been neared in an average of 20+ years, but 9.86, 44.33, 3:28.95, 2:06:36 and 47.37 are "breakable" (Schmid, 47.48; Mori, 47.54). 12.91 needs the right athlete but that athlete can be found in Europe if someone bothers to look. Hell, Ladji Doucoure ran 12.97 and he was a technical nightmare. Tony Jarrett 13.00; Florian Schwartoff 13.05; Stanislav Olijars 13.08; Falk Balzer, 13.10A. Latvia??? Latvia has 2 guys under 13.30 (Igor Kazanovs ran 13.26 at 30y/o! Even Ireland has a 13.30!!! Stop this talk about population and recognize that there is talent in Europe. TONS of it. Europeans have to stop conceding competitions to NACAC and Africa and go out and develop that talent. Oh, yeah, Europe includes the UK
Re: UK's London Olympic medal contenders
^^^ yeah, just ignore that! Head clearly not with it when reading your post - apologies (Though one might point out that the records of NACAC are still not as good as Europe's in many events, so they're not progressing THAT much )
Still stand by the fact that I think you're expecting too much from the UK, based on society right now. As a fan of the sport, it's not great to see, but far too many other sports are now taking priority, coupled with a culture that has moved away from sport, irrespective of money being thrown at it.
On a tangent, but in keeping with something you said earlier, UK Sport (governing body of ALL sports in UK) has perhaps got the right idea in a way - whilst athletics medals are now harder to come by (even if every GBR record was being set today), a large number of medals won in Beijing were won in 'specialised/technical' sports, that places like East Africa and the smaller nations can't compete in - hence doing so well on the overall medal table.
There's definitely been a drive to get people that can run into triathlon, for example (Brownlee used to be a XC runner), so perhaps the 'bigger picture' is to drive medals - in a similar way to those wanting UK athletics to look to the technical events that have room to develop

Van Commenee attacks Idowu for tweeting GB team pull-out
Saturday, 18 June 2011
"Asked whether he might still be in charge, Van Commenee, whose contract expires after the London Olympics, said: "Absolutely. It is certainly my intention to hit the target at the Games [a tally of eight medals], and then we can talk about me staying. But certainly it is my ambition. A lot of jobs depend on success or failure in 2012, so hopefully if we do well then everybody can carry on."
No relationship with 'liar' Van Commenee - Phillips Idowu
Saturday, 18 June 2011 17:00 UK
But the British triple jumper Phillips Idowu says he informed UK Athletics and Van Commenee's staff before informing his followers on the social networking site.
UK Athletics boss Van Commenee criticises Idowu tweet
Friday, 17 June 2011 19:06 UK
"These things are done personally, there are certain channels you have to follow," said Charles van Commenee. "I expect somebody with such a profile to follow these procedures."
Phillips Idowu wants apology from Charles van Commenee
Thursday, 21 July 2011 18:11 UK
"I haven't spoken to Charles since that incident and I have said that I won't speak to him until he publicly apologises. Until then I don't want anything to do with him."
I can't see why I must apologise to Phillips Idowu in public, says Charles van Commenee
26 Jul 2011
"Van Commenee then pledged to resolve the matter behind closed doors before last week Idowu demanded a public apology before any rift could be healed."

Great British athletes set eight-medal Olympic target
July 27, 2011
"Significantly, the Dutchman is demanding that one of those eight medals should be gold in a year's time, leaving his team in no doubt that they must aim for top prize."
Re: UK's London Olympic medal contenders
72 - I was also embarrassed by that editorial in AW about a Golden Age - utter nonsense and unecessary hype. But I really think you see the past through rose tinted spectacles. Looking at the list of athletes from the golden age, Thomas, Richardson, McKean and Jones never won global individual medals. From memory I think Reitz, Rowland, Jarrett, Spedding, Akabusi, Smith, Grant and Murray only won 1 each (please correct me if I'm wrong).
When have we ever had 4 or 5 people sub 13:15 at the same time? NEVER. Only 9 men have ever run that fast and two of them are currently competing for us. Only twice have two men broken 13:15 in the same year - Hamer and Denmark in 92 and Farah and Thompson in 2010.
When was the golden age for our distance runners? I think of great names like Bedford, Foster, McLeod, Jones, Moorcroft and Spedding. However, I also recall my Dad saying they weren't a patch on Pirie, ibbotson, Peters etc. Bedford bottled it at every major champs; Foster disapponted in Prague and Moscow; Moorcroft flopped in Athens; Jones blew it in Stuttgart; Spedding was seen as a journeyman who got lucky in 1984. All those assessments were of course unfair but I think it illustrates that the golden age was never as golden as people remember.
Re: UK's London Olympic medal contenders
Jarret medalled in 91,93 and 95, Akabusi an 91 and 92, Smith 93 and 96, Grant never won a major champs medal.
It doesn't matter your point spot on anyway
Also holding up Tom Mckean as some kind of pinnacle of athletic achievement is laughable, he has precisely no medal at world level (unless we consider indoors) his major championship record was lamentable and there is no doubt if he was competing now 72 would be his biggest critic.
Re: UK's London Olympic medal contenders
But he did get two 4th places at the worlds, and for one of those jumped 2.36!
Re: UK's London Olympic medal contenders
Re: UK's London Olympic medal contenders
Haven't you heard 4th place is nowhere ? and us UK fans have low expectations and no wonder we're losers if we think 4th is good etc etc etc
see the Uk trials thread
Re: UK's London Olympic medal contenders
Hey you're stats might not be up to scratch but your sentiment was 100% correct
Re: UK's London Olympic medal contenders
Exactly why I wanted to give it emphasis. He was great to watch even if he didn't win a medal. Anyone who thinks fourth shows a lack of effort is off their rocker.
Re: UK's London Olympic medal contenders
Van Commenee looks for seven medals in Daegu
Tuesday 9th August 2011
"I am looking to see an improvement from two years ago in Berlin, where we recorded six medals and 20 top eight finishes. It is important to remember there is work to do before London 2012 and Daegu is another stop on the journey to make our athletes run faster, jump higher and throw further. The aim in Daegu is to get more athletes within touching distance of the podium and these World Championships are ideal preparation for what the athletes will encounter next summer and beyond."

Re: UK's London Olympic [Daegu Worlds] medal contenders
Fascinating to see the attempts to downgrade performances achieved by Brits in the past.
Every nonsense from dismissing our previous status and world level performances as probably on drugs, (which of our great middle and long distance guys, i wonder) to pointing out that our excellent Dalton Grant never won a medal in the OG/WC. So what?; his performances including 2.37 indoors in 94 were a damn site better than todays Brit athletes...oops, not of course our JamaicanBrit HJ freaky medallist!
McKean sneered at by some silly poster but did he not win the Euros in 1990 and ran sub 1.44 in 1989. He made stupid tactical errors but I am still awaiting a Euro Champ in this new Golden Age so beloved of the look-we-have- 7- new -national- records crap peddled by AW and a pile of posters on MBs.
We know what statistical experts you seem to consider you are but the facts are plain and nowt to do with China or Russia or populations. The change in British social attitudes, and the failure of British ambition, after all we revere mediocrities if they are nice people; the techno world we live in; the lure of soccer and other sports , to name some reasons that we have lost interest, largely, in emulating the performances in areas where we were traditionally strong.
It would be reasonable to assume that with the pampered professional lottery funded athletes of today, and the many millions of pounds poured into the elitist structure of British track and field , with all those specialist people like British Director of Endurance events (who incidentally thinks our present crop of mid and long distance athletes do not work hard enough and he has said so) plus better medical care, specialist centres of and bought in coaches from outside the Uk , we might have expected a better standard than we have achieved in many areas.
What have we achieved??? One disgraced sprinter of class, no 400m man of quality with an A , 800m quality... where; 1500m runners...yeah; one outstanding long distance runner; and a frequently injured back up guy followed by utter second or third rate athletes; no steeplechaser of even second rate; no guy behind Turner such as Jarrett who ONLY managed a world silver medal.. in 13.00 secs ( nothing to do with population or our decling influence blah, blah or the other arguments I have just read today just talent and hard work , I reckon.)
Javelin, hammer, Shot put ... and dont start me on our women athletes.
We are still a harrier nation whatever the stuff about our discus improvemnts slavered over in the UK and we have largely given up in a number of events. Remember the stuff about we cannot expect to compete with Africans .. all somewhat exaggerated as the American 800/1500/5k and 10 k athletes have shown and Mo Farah very much so.
We cannot be world class at every thing I hear.... but we are not progreessing to some great forward push to a new Golden Age... we will NOT get 10 medals, not to mention 2 world records, that we achieved back in 1993; most of our funded athletes are in a nice comfort zone, thank you very much.
As for our publicly funded 49 fully able bodied athletes on the stupidly titled Podium athletes... 21 are not selected for the WC with a mixture of the eternally injured athletes and the loss of form athletes...over 40 % . Pretty good for all the money poured in to British track.!!!
If you missed out the Brit 80s andthe 90s... 9 European goldies in Split and Budapest? Thats real tough..... I was there and it was such fun..
All the PR crap in the world emanating from the UKA bunker will not create a new Golden anything.
Re: UK's London Olympic [Daegu Worlds] medal contenders
Tom Mckean did win the Europeans in 1990 and ran 1,43.88, Michael Rimmer won a European Silver last year and ran 1.43.89 hardly the disaster your suggesting
We may have got 9 golds in Split but we only got one medal in the field and only 1 individual medal on the womens side so please don't pretend everything was so much better back then. There have always been massive gaps in the UK team and selective memory can't hide that. We got more medals in Barcelona last year.
Yes we had a great champs in 93 but
87 8 medals and 1 gold
88 7 medals and no golds
91 7 medals 1 individual gold
92 6 and 2 Gold
95 5 medals and 1 gold
96 6 medals and no gold
to compare
08 4 medals 1 gold
09 6 medals 2 golds
and your conversion to being a Mo fan his hilarious and o predictable. How about supporting athletes throughout their career and not just jumping on the bandwagon when they become ultra successful
some of your past post on Mo consist of
on a race in which he was pushed over
or this delight
Now i need to get to bed, i'm off to Daegu and whether we win 1 or 10 medals i'll still have 'such fun'

Re: UK's London Olympic [Daegu Worlds] medal contenders
fabulously amusing, Mump, to dredge up what someone said in 2009 about Mo; I suppose you never get it wrong, silly boy.!!... YOU knew, of course, that Farah would go on to much better things , but I would not waste my time dredging some of the childish rubbish posted by you on the AW Forum...( Sort of thing that the great Isabre used to do)
Hope you enjoy Daegu, as I enjoyed our best ever in 1993( two WRs and 10 Medals) and that you bump into lots of famous athletes which I know you love above all... and don't forget to take your FLAG.
Chalk and cheese... an old english saying meaning comparing two items that cannot validly be compared... like say, comparing Bolt and Jesse Owens performances.? or better still.... Mump Boy's knowledge of Track and Field compared to Mel Watman / Peter Matthews.!!!

UK athletes struggling to meet high expectations
Tuesday, 30 August 2011
"At the half way mark the team have three. And with plenty of medal prospects due to compete between now and Sunday, UK Athletics insists there is no need to panic."

Re: UK's London Olympic [Daegu Worlds] medal contenders
Using a medal table half way through a meet to evaluate how we;; we're doing is ridiculous. There are only 4 countries with more medals than us so far and 6 with a single gold medal which would out them ahead of a country with 100 lesser medals.
Things ahven't gone to plan so far but there is more to come so lets leave this discussion to the end of the week.
What has been more disappointing is the lack of progress made by those below medal expectations, apart from Brett Morse i can't think of one athlete who has achieved above expectations
actually Andrew Osagie did good, as did Andy Turner (obv) and Yamile Aldama and that's it so far
Re: UK's London Olympic [Daegu Worlds] medal contenders
What were the expectations for Hannah England coming into this meet?
Re: UK's London Olympic [Daegu Worlds] medal contenders
That she's make the final but in a far easier manner than she managed. She has an outside chance of a medal as do about a dozen other people.
Re: UK's London Olympic [Daegu Worlds] medal contenders
To me the number of Medals is only one aspect of performances .
My daily note of national Top Eight performances tells me that after 45 % of the Champs are complete, 21 events, the Brits are on 24 placement points in equal 9th place with Cuba; the total achieved in Berlin was 81 points, and in Osaka 61 points. We are going to stuggle but not achieve I think what we achieved in Berlin.In addition, GB has 4 top eights so far well below the 20 they achieved in total in Brlin with 13 in Osaka.
I was fairly sure that despite all the UKA and media PR stuff, GB would struggle somewhat in the conditons and with a team who are not battle - hardened in many areas.
Just read that Rich Perelman in a detailed report on the Americans performances so far shows that they are well down on their USA Champs form right across the board. Long season for their team though.
The top 8 Placement points after 21 events are USA 102.. Russia 96( 26 points in Walks)...Kenya 79....China 46...Germany 44...Poland 35...Jamaica 34....Ethiopia 33... GB and Cuba...24

Re: UK's London Olympic [Daegu Worlds] medal contenders
I reckon Hannah England, hardly the most experienced athlete in the 1500m, will do well to come in the first six. She is still inconsistent in tactics and I prefer athletes with slightly smaller strides when the change of pace takes place.
Re: UK's London Olympic [Daegu Worlds] medal contenders
Good point!!!

More succinct, anti-GB 'I hope they all fail' analysis from 72.....twit (swap the vowel too, love).

What a difference a day makes
Lj boys apart everyone did brilliant yesterday
Re: UK's London Olympic [Daegu Worlds] medal contenders
And what a difference another day makes.
Apart from Emma Jackson today was a complete disaster.
Having said that I don't think Jenny did anything wrong in her race just wasn't fast enough.
Phillips and the w4x4 qualified easily as well. Other than that

van Commenee Slams Under-Performers
Sunday September 4, 2011
"Despite their haul of seven medals in Daegu, South Korea, van Commenee singled out a number of 'under-performing' athletes ranging from the merely disappointing to the 'unforgivable'... There are disappointments but two-and-a-half years ago, if I could predict we would have seven medals, I would have been very happy with that."

Re: UK's London Olympic medal contenders
Sorry that the flag wavers have now infested here from the UK .
You Brits are all only or primarily interested in medals; some of us ,even CVC, are more interested in top 8s and points placements as a truer and more relevant sign of achievements by the GB team.
Well in Berlin, we got 81 points and 20 top eights; we got 70 points and a mere 12 top 8s in Daegu(less than Osaka).Our points total was down on Berlin 2009. Only 11 months to go.!!!
Sorry Flag Wavers to mention the real current state of our track and field. We got about 25 % of our individual athletes into top eights. Wonder why CVC is n't too thrilled.
And all that special training and millions of pounds spent and imported coaches and athletes bullied to change coaches and uproot their residences and comfort zones and sudden love of being a "British athlete".
If you are happy with that %age ... enjoy.
London medallists and top 8s and total points I cannot see why that will be any betteror worse than Berlin 2009.
Re: UK's London Olympic medal contenders
Fact: GB had 12 top 8s.
In addition to GB's 7 medals there were 3, yes that's 3, individuals in the top 8 placings (2 in Relays)
Thank you, Tiffany Porter, Aldama, and Sharman. No wonder UKA were so frigging keen!!
Well done GB athletes; augurs well for London 2012!!!
