I got a bit emotional at the start, what with starting a new adventure... It was a difficult year, with the decision to move to Yamaha, and then having to prepare the motorcycle, working with the entire team... So when D-Day comes, it feels good to be racing again."
Important to hitch myself to the right wagon..."
"I'm over the moon because I had lots of fun, my Sherco didn't miss a beat and it was a real pleasure to ride on this type of course, where it almost rides itself. In short: fun, speed and a nice bonus at the finish with this result! It was important for me to do well from the beginning in order to hitch myself to the right wagon for upcoming stages.
"I'll try to keep it up"
"I'm really happy with the first stage. At the beginning I had some trouble easing into the race due to a slight problem with the suspension, but afterwards everything went smoothly. We'll work on it to ride even faster tomorrow. I'll try to keep up this pace in the next few stages."
"I took things easy"
"First days at the Dakar are never easy. It's difficult to find and maintain your pace straight away. So I took things fairly easy and, as the day wore on, I got the right feelings and found the right pace. All things considered, I'm happy because it's important to clear the first stage without running into trouble, and that's just what I did."
"Everything's going to plan for me and Honda"
"It was quite difficult for a first special, with a very slippery and tricky 180 km course, especially on the mountain sides: if you fall there, you're going all the way down! So I decided to take it easy at the beginning, but little by little I eased into the pace and gained some confidence. At the end I accelerated and posted the fifth best time on the finish line. I'm happy because my teammate Joan Barreda won the stage, which means I'll start just behind him tomorrow and we'll be able to work as a team. So everything's going to plan for me and Honda."

PUNXSUTAWNEY — As the saying goes, "Art for art's sake", which proved to have a following at Tuesday's Punxsutawney Area School Board meeting, as a large crowd of art teachers, art students and parents spoke to the board regarding the elimination of an art teacher position at Punxsutawney Are High School (PAHS).
There were eight people who signed up to address the board regarding the proposal to eliminate one art teacher position.
Recently, the PAHS senior class chose six senior girls to represent it as the members of the 2013 Winter Queen's Court. This year's court includes Shayla Brink, Maija Carol, Audrianna DeLacour, Lauren Kachmar, Shannon Rosetti and Lauren Wolfe. The senior girl with the highest number of votes will reign as queen, and the girl with the second-highest vote total will be named princess. The crowning will take place during halftime of Friday's varsity basketball game.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Your number could be up if you don't have your address number affixed to your home or in front of it, according to Punxsutawney Borough Council.
"In my travels — as I walk a lot — every day, I have taken note that many homes in the borough do not have house numbers attached to them," said Larry Chenoga, Punxsutawney Borough Council president, at Monday's Public Safety Committee meeting.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — At Tuesday night's voting meeting of the Punxsutawney Area School Board, the president of the Punxsutawney Area Education Association (PAEA) responded to comments made by several school board members during the board's Jan. 8 meeting, when the new contract was ratified.
The PAEA represents more than 180 teaching professionals in local public schools, said Don Gill, president of the PAEA spoke to the school board Tuesday.
"I came into teaching as a second career, and, like my colleagues, teaching is more than a job or a paycheck. It's a calling," he said.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — For many young boys and girls growing up, their dream is to one day play professional sports.
With America's pastime being baseball, many children have grown up with the dream of making the Big Leagues or playing Olympic level softball. But for some children, limitations are keeping them from being able to make that dream come true.
BROOKVILLE — Punxsutawney-based Pennsylvania State Police are investigating the death of a 33-year-old Reynoldsville man who died as result of injuries he sustained Tuesday in an industrial accident.
Brian Jason Gardner was injured at approximately 12:40 a.m. Tuesday while at work at Brookville Wood Products in Pine Creek Township.
Gardner was transported to Brookville Hospital by Jefferson County EMS for treatment but succumbed to his injuries at approximately 2:43 a.m., police said.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Of course, the weather was perfect for the induction of Jim Cantore of The Weather Channel as the 2013 inductee into the Meteorologist Hall of Fame at the Punxsutawney Weather Discovery Center on Saturday.
Peggy Johnston, chairperson of the exhibit and program committee for the Weather Discovery Center, read Cantore's introduction for being chosen for the Meteorologist Hall of Fame.
"We are pleased to have him join the ranks of other very accomplished experts in the field of meteorology whose pictures adorn our lobby at the Weather Center," she said.
PUNXSUTAWNEY— Groundhog Day is the one day of the year that brings in visitors from across the nation and other continents.
Traveling from Dallas, Texas, this year were four generations of a family that has made this trek for the fourth time.
What's special about 2013, however, is the addition of the fourth generation, 9-month-old Michael Davis Harmon.
He joined his mother, Kristen Harmon, grandmother Sally Muhl and great-grandmother Donna W. Davis for his first-ever visit to not only Punxsutawney but to Gobbler's Knob.
Click on our Photo Gallery link to see pics of Gobbler's Knob on Groundhog Day. We'll be posting new photos throughout the week of fun Phil events around town and other pics from The Knob, so check back!
PUNXSUTAWNEY — In what has become Punxsutawney's day in the sun, Groundhog Day, the only thing that could take away from it would be the passing of one of its favorite sons on Friday, former Mayor John Hallman.
Jim Cassidy, chairman of the Punxsutawney Weather Discovery Center, eulogized Hallman prior to the induction of Weather Channel Meteorologist Jim Cantore, its 2013 inductee into the Meteorologist
Hall of Fame on Saturday.
"Friday morning, we received some bad news, as we lost one of our own, John Hallman," he said.

Hey everybody, over the weekend it just got approved so this is our official announcement that we just released our first ever mobile app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. The new "Hey! on Fark.com" app will send notifications to your device based on triggers that you set up. By default, you receive notifications on every Newsflash story, but you can set up triggers for different pages (Main, Geek), topics (Florida, Spiffy), or sources (CNN, ESPN, Discover). Best of all, though, is that you can set up custom triggers for specific keywords or phrases, like your favorite team's name, or the last name of a player you follow. You can get every headline that includes NASA or mugshot roundup or Doctor Who.
For those of you on Android phones, we haven't forgotten you. We'll be working on an Android version soon. We figured that it would be easier to make one app and work out the bugs rather than trying to do both apps for different platforms simultaneously. We had more experience with Apple and their process, so that was our starting point.
Many of you already use our mobile website http://m.fark.com. We're very proud of our mobile website, and we'll continue making improvements to it. It's incorporated into the app so that you don't have to leave the app to browse mobile Fark. This just gives you a way to make it a lot more customizable.
A lot of other questions are answered in the Hey App FArQ, but if you have other questions, or suggestions that you want to send directly to us, you can use the Farkback topic for Feedback on Hey! on Fark.com Mobile App. For bug/error reports, please use the Report a bug or error message topic.
It's free to download, check it out here: Hey! on Fark.com app

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- The competition was fierce Wednesday at UALR. Soldiers were tested for endurance and skills that could mean the difference between life and death.
National guardsmen and ROTC cadets took part in a 3-day competition with mental, physical and warrior challenges. And, some of them were even doing it all blindfolded. Some of these guys - even doing all this blindfolded.
"If a helicopter goes down we may have to, as part of a special mission, we may have to repel or jump out of a helicopter, get into the water, and we have to be able to survive under those conditions," said SSG William Snowden from the Arkansas National Guard.
In addition to that swimming exercise, they also competed in marksmanship and a special mystery event.
The winner will determine the Soldier of the Year and Non-commissioned Officer of the Year.

From misery to tragedy in Egyptian train crash
BADRASHEEN, Egypt Packed in a rickety train speeding through the night, the poorly fed, pale-looking Egyptian conscripts were coming from some of Egypt's most dirt-poor villages to serve in one of the most miserable, lowly jobs of the security forces - as grunts in an anti-riot force usually deployed against protesters.
At a station just outside of Cairo before dawn Tuesday, the train's last car jumped the track, slammed into a parked train, and then was dragged for several kilometers. The car was torn to pieces, young recruits were sent flying along the tracks, and others were mangled.
In the end, 19 recruits mostly in their early 20s were killed and more than 100 were injured, some with arms or legs torn off.
The accident was the latest example of Egypt's decrepit infrastructure turning lethal for the country's poorest - and a reminder that the revolution two years ago has brought no relief in the lives of a population where poverty is worsening. The crash brought a new wave of anger at Islamist President Mohammed Morsi for failing to carry out reforms or overhaul the country's crumbling public services.
Morsi's supporters say such criticism is unfair, that he can't immediately fix the result of years of neglect and poor administration from ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak's 29-year rule. The Mubarak era saw a string of train fires, crashes and a ferry sinking, some killing hundreds at a time.
Still, the anger was brewing Tuesday. After daybreak, a military helicopter hovering over the wreckage of the train enraged bystanders gathered at the site near Badrasheen station, 12 miles (20 kilometers) south of Cairo.
"Where were you when the accident happened?" men shouted, waving at the helicopter. Nearby, blood-stained train seats were scattered along the track, along with shoes and clothes, along with the shredded shell of the train car.
Hundreds of protesters massed in Cairo's main train station, chanting, "The people want to topple the regime," the main slogan of the uprising that ousted Mubarak in February 2011. They were joined by passengers whose trips were cancelled because most trains in the country were halted after the accident. Other protests with anti-Morsi slogans took place at the train stations in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria and the industrial Nile Delta city of Mahallah el-Kubra.
The crash came just ahead of the two-year anniversary of the Jan. 25 start of the anti-Mubarak uprising. The anniversary is expected to bring rallies by opponents of Morsi.
Since he came to power in June as Egypt's first elected president, Morsi has faced mounting economic, social and security woes. During his presidential campaign, Morsi promised a 100-day plan to resolve Egypt's most pressing issues like providing bread, cleaning up garbage and instilling security, but failed to deliver on most.
Only two months ago, 50 children died when a train rammed into their school bus in southern Egypt. Like Tuesday, that tragedy sparked a storm of criticism of Morsi's administration.
Accompanied by TV cameras, Morsi visited a number of survivors from Tuesday's crash and pledged to hold officials accountable.

So, Richard Lugar is supposed to maintain an empty house for years and years in Indianapolis as his Indiana residence? How stupid is that?
If Sen. Lugar has spent $4,500 on hotel rooms since 1991, at $100 a night, does that mean he has been in the state a total of 45 days in 21 years?
Why do Republicans complain about freeloaders when it comes to taxes, yet they want to protect them when it comes to the health- insurance mandate? The uninsured are a big reason for the increases in health costs.

India, the home of one of the world's most ancient civilizations, has forged and maintained a sense of national unity in a country unique for its religious, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural diversity. In the last decade, the Indian economy has taken off and the country has come to play an increasingly important role in the world economy.
With its new economic strength and technological know-how, India is also an increasingly important player on the world stage. The Indian film industry, for example, centered in Mumbai, has come to rival Hollywood as an exporter of films.

These eye drops moisturizes for greater comfort. These are very good lubricant drops for soft contact lenses users. These are my favorite drops. Nowadays these drops are hard to find in stores, i got these drops from myotcstore.
May cost more than others but are in a separate class!! One drop in each dry eye feels so good and lubricates them much better than other brands. My opthamologist recommended them.
My doctor recommended these to me, giving me a sample, and sending me on my way. I have since purchased them, and have been quite happy with their effectiveness. They are long-lasting.Relief is felt immediately.It should be noted that when the drops are first placed in the eye, some blurriness may occur. This is due to the contents of the drops, which include glycerine, an oily whetting solution often used in soap and cosmetics. The blurriness clears up very quickly, though, and is no real cause for concern.
This product is very effective and gentle. I have chronic dry eyes & have used more expensive brands. However, I have been very pleased with the Advanced brand and intend to continue using it.
Easy as usual. Free shipping for a $79 order works great for me.

65,684 Arkansas residents signed up for health insurance on HealthCare.gov between Nov. 15 and Feb. 22 according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). 44 percent were new to the exchange for 2015, and 88 percent qualified for premium subsidies.
2015 open enrollment is over now, but a tax penalty-related special enrollment period (SEP) runs from March 15 through April 30. It's open to consumers who discovered they must pay a tax penalty when filing their 2014 returns. Those consumers can get covered and minimize penalties on their 2015 taxes, but they will still be responsible for their 2014 tab.
There are some other conditions under which people can apply for health insurance coverage before the next open enrollment period, but they must have a qualifying event in order to purchase coverage outside of open enrollment, on or off the exchange.
Arkansas carves own path on ACA
Arkansas has not followed the pack in its approach to implementing the Affordable Care Act, and it is continued that trend in the fall of 2014. The board of the Arkansas Health Insurance Marketplace voted in mid-September to transition from its current partnership exchange to a state-run exchange.
For individuals, the Arkansas-run marketplace will be operational for open enrollment in the fall of 2016, with coverage beginning in 2017. For small businesses, operations will begin in the fall of 2015.
States that relied on the federal marketplace for some or all functions outnumbered states that ran their own exchanges in 2014. For 2015, only Idaho moved to a state-run exchange, while Oregon and Nevada increased their reliance on the federal marketplace.
Arkansas' transition toward a state-run marketplace is not its only atypical move. Arkansas was one of just a few states that implemented a state-federal partnership for 2014. The state also pioneered the Private Option for Medicaid expansion. However, with Republicans now holding large majorities in both houses of the state legislature, Arkansas may lead in the opposite direction by becoming the first state to drop out of Medicaid expansion.
Premiums lower in 2015
The Arkansas Insurance Department announced 2015 premiums are two percent lower on average compared to 2014 rates. You can browse plans and premiums available in your area by visiting HealthCare.gov and entering your ZIP code.
Arkansas Health Connector enrollment in 2014
Signups for qualified health plans (QHPs) in Arkansas totaled 43,446 during 2014 open enrollment. Among Arkansas residents selecting a QHP, 90 percent qualified for financial assistance, compared to 85 percent nationally. An HHS report released in June showed the average monthly premium, after tax credits, for Arkansas consumers was $94. Thirty-five percent of enrollees who received subsidies in 2014 saw their premiums reduced to $50 or less per month.
Nineteen percent of Arkansas residents selected a bronze plan (20 percent nationally), 67 percent selected a silver plan (65 percent nationally), 13 percent selected a gold plan (9 percent nationally), 0 percent selected a platinum plan (5 percent nationally) and 1 percent selected a catastrophic plan (2 percent nationally). Twenty-five percent of Arkansas enrollees were between the ages of 18 and 34.
Arkansas' historical approach to the marketplace
The Arkansas legislature considered a bill to establish a state-run exchange during the 2011 session, but it did not pass. The Arkansas Insurance Department then shifted gears and received grant money in February 2012 to develop a partnership exchange.
The state exchange website is called Arkansas Health Connector, and it provides key dates for enrolling, frequently asked questions and other information to help people understand their options for purchasing health insurance. State residents use the federal marketplace, HealthCare.gov, to compare plans, see if they qualify for subsidies, and purchase coverage.
Arkansas was the first state to receive federal approval to expand Medicaid through the Private Option. Through the Private Option, the state uses money earmarked through the ACA for Medicaid expansion to subsidize the purchase of private insurance. The approach has been adopted or considered by a number of other states.
In December 2014, Arkansas received federal approval for two further changes to its version of Medicaid expansion. The waiver allows a requirement of monthly contributions to health savings accounts and limits transportation for routine doctor visits and other non-emergency services.
As originally constructed, the Private Option required annual reauthorization by the Arkansas legislature. In late February 2014, the Arkansas Senate approved continued funding for the Private Option. However, it took the House five votes to reauthorize funding in early March. Arkansas appropriation bills must receive a 75 percent majority in both houses to pass, and the Private Option just squeaked by with votes of 27-8 in the Senate and 76-24 in House.
Legislative support for the Private Option was weakened by the 2014 elections. Republicans, many of whom campaigned against the Private Option, now hold 24-11 and 64-36 majorities in the state Senate and House, respectively.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson asked state legislators to fund the program in its current form through the end of 2016. Legislators heeded Hutchinson's request by passing Act 46. The law continues Private Option funding through 2016 and establishes a task force to suggest changes to the program for 2017. However, some opponents believe they have killed the Private Option, viewing Act 46 as just a "stay of execution."
Arkansas legislators are also considering SB 312, which would direct the state Department of Human Services to request federal approval to freeze enrollment in the Private Option effective Dec. 31, 2015. Through January 2015, about 233,500 Arkansas residents were enrolled in the Private Option.

Aahhh.... You'll say as you cross over the 'Judge Jolly' Bridge onto Marco Island. The island is a tropical paradise. As you travel south on Collier Blvd. you will pass the Marco Island Yacht Club and various shops and restaurants all pleasantly back dropped with glimpses of canals and waterways of the island. As you continue beyond the larger hotels and condominiums on the gulf you'll reach The Grandview, on the south end of the island beyond the commercial area.
The Grandview is a five story modern building boasting a white facade with striking half moon windows. The property has covered assigned parking for each unit, as well as a firepit/ barbeque area, tennis court, heated kidney shaped pool and four person hot tub. The location puts you in walking distance to the island's movie theater and many shops, resorts and restaurants. Also a short walk away is Marco Island's South Beach Access. This is a palm tree lined walkway leading you to the stunning Gulf of Mexico!
This was my second time here, just like the first time it is perfect. I could not be unhappy about anything. Highly recommend. very clean, cozy with a great location. I well be returning, and Kim was great to deal with.
Just spent 10 days at this unit, everything was wonderful. Great location, very clean comfortable condo, I would return again.

Potential for China, US Innovation Partnerships Highlighted at Annual Government Relations Dinner
PR Newswire
BEIJING, Nov. 21, 2012
BEIJING, Nov. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Minister of Science and Technology Wan Gang highlighted the value of Sino-US collaborations in science and technology at this year's annual Government Appreciation Dinner, hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce in the People's Republic of China (AmCham China). The theme of this year's event was "Open and Inclusive Innovation."
Minister Wan, speaking before some 600 attendees, including US Ambassador to China Gary Locke, said US companies could tap new market opportunities by helping China advance toward national science and technology goals.
Of the Fortune 500 companies, he said, 470 have already set up R&D centers in China. In 2010, foreign companies invested 104.8 billion renminbi in R&D, a ten-fold increase over the past decade.
Noting that China has steadily increased its investment in education, he said: "I hope R&D centers can take full advantage of China's highly-educated talent and its R&D infrastructure to continue to develop the nation's innovation capacity," he said.
Minister Wan also pointed to the lengthy Sino-US history of collaborations in science and technology. Over the past thirty years, he noted, the US and China have carried out effective and successful cooperation in sectors including energy, agriculture, environmental protection, sanitation, meteorology, and nuclear safety.
AmCham China Chairman Ted Dean, in his remarks, drew attention to China's immense potential for innovation. If the US and China "work together openly and inclusively, both countries gain from new products, new cures, and new businesses created in China and in the United States."
Over 120 top Chinese officials attended the dinner, held to show appreciation for the government's support of US companies in China. Attendees included Chinese government leaders from the central, provincial and municipal levels, business leaders from AmCham China member companies, US Embassy officials, and reporters.
The following special guests were in attendance: Cui Tiankai, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs; Wang Chao, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Commerce; and Gu Chaoxi, Vice Minister of Civil Affairs.
About the American Chamber of Commerce in the People's Republic of China:
AmCham China is a national non-profit organization representing the interests of over 1,000 companies and 3,500 individuals doing business throughout China. Headquartered in Beijing, it has chapters in Tianjin, Northeast China (Dalian) and Central China (Wuhan). For more information, visit: www.amchamchina.org

Enough has been said about India's urban century and the upcoming challenges in terms of infrastructure and inclusiveness, but not much has been said about the role leadership will play in meeting the many challenges Indian cities are facing, and will face in the coming future. Without effective leadership and a high degree of oversight our cities will become avenues for pillage, and all kinds of haphazard decisions will lead to a diminished quality of life.
A deeper understanding of the political economy of Indian cities is needed to enable smarter decisions for the future. We have poor commentary and case studies of the kind of leadership issues Indian cities have faced till now. There may be approach-specific commentaries like the essays by Isher Judge Ahluwalia celebrating PPP models in urban India but there is little unbiased evaluation of the tenure of political leaders and bureaucrats, decisions taken and the impact they have on the city.
The Indian urban discourse relies almost completely on anecdotes and case studies from around the world and while the outcome is much talked about what ultimately gets most appreciated is the leadership of a particular individual or group or institutions. It could be the Land Transport Authority or a Lee Kuan Yew in Singapore or Jannette Sadik Khan and Amanda Burden as also ex-mayor Michael Bloomberg in New York or Dr Kee Yeon Hwang and the Korea Transport Institute in South Korea.
A clear unambiguous human face to the improvement(s) is always celebrated, not of some algorithm or technology. Many of these individuals and the legacies they leave behind have become a source of soft power which can be replicated in other cities and countries. Transport planners and mayors of these cities are much sought speakers at conferences or in the international speaker circuit, with interviews in leading media channels a given. The ex-mayor of Bogota (Colombia) Enrique Penalosa has been a favourite in India and has visited many of our cities in the past decade. We have no similar instance of a globally celebrated face from India.
We need to increasingly ask the question: Where are Indian cities getting their leadership from or what kind of people end up providing leadership to Indian cities? It will in all probability not throw up pleasant answers but it will be a necessary first step for change.
Commentary on approaches to affordable housing, density, transport infrastructure and provision of a clean environment in terms of open spaces and clean water bodies is missing. For example, I do not see any credible academic work or political commentary on the debilitating and cascading affects the free housing policy of the BJP-Shiv Sena government under the remote control of late Bal Thackeray had on Mumbai. Subsequent Congress-NCP governments have made few changes and have continued the status quo. It will be two decades now and the city has become even more notorious for its unaffordable housing than it was 20 years ago. Slums are still there and thriving and all that the Slum Rehabilitation Policy has achieved is to generate enough FSI to develop high-end unaffordable luxury housing. People have even started taking decisions to leave the city altogether. So what is it that Mumbai did so wrong with its housing policy over the years?
Density in most Indian cities, and certainly Mumbai, is completely determined by developers and land sharks. In Mumbai, high land and rental values have ensured that somebody capable of strong-arm tactics and holding even a small piece of land (illegally occupied) to begin with can generate enough rental income from that plot and allied illegal activities to buy his way up into the city power hierarchy and then go on to influence almost any and every important decision in Mumbai. Such a person can become a politician, or more importantly determine the career of a politician who is then more than happy to entertain such people as power-brokers and suitably work on some policy or not.
At the same time good-intentioned and knowledgeable people are never able to provide the leadership that the city requires because acquiring political power and a seat at the table have become almost impossible by means deemed civil. They are then consigned to making noises at fora, being quoted on city matters in newspapers or being part of coffee-table discussions ruing the state of the city. In such a raw muscle-power determined power structure the contours of the visionary leadership that we desire for our cities get completely distorted. The principles and values that we expect to be the foundations for taking decisions about our cities' infrastructure and inclusiveness are nowhere to be found in this quagmire.
The average citizen who could be a slum dweller finding even public transport costly at times, or a high ranking CEO who has the best of cars at his disposal both find themselves equally marginalised in such a set-up not knowing just how to go about getting some basic services from their city – such as a good commuting experience. Nobody knows what the city government looks like besides a few statements in the papers and the latest controversy over a road or any other contract.
Not able to raise ourselves in stature to handle the problems of existing cities, we are drawn to the romantic vision of new cities, the idea of taking a few thousand acres of virgin land and then drawing a set of lines on fresh paper. New cities will never be the answer unless we wish to develop ghost cities like in China. The value system and leadership crisis in existing cities has to be resolved. If not, investors and power-brokers from existing cities or their local counterparts will move into the new cities and in a short period make them look similar to the old cities. Gurgaon is not an old city, it could have very well improved upon the deficiencies of Delhi but it did not.
A smart city may have great technology but the basic decisions about how the available land will be used, how and what kind of housing will be developed, public transport or private transport, economic policy, health and education policies will remain the same in existing or greenfield cities. And the outcomes for these will still be determined by the human factor.

In Both the U.S. and Mexico, we Must Advance not Retreat From Strategic Government Goals Regarding Drug Addiction and Drug-Related Crime, Says Narconon International

Just days ago, gunmen shot and killed five recovering drug addicts, ages 18 to 36 years old, in a
"We salute the staff of La Vida," says Carr, "for their dedication and courage. We must also recognize that drug rehab staffs everywhere confront evil daily – helping addicts with more or less unsavory histories revolutionize their lives in order to live ethically and drug-free."
With 24 years working hands-on in drug rehabilitation and delivering drug education,
"Finding the right balance between force and reason has always been the challenge of civilization," says Carr. "If we were to vote for Czars of Anti-Civilization, drug barons and their narcotrafficking bootlickers would be frontrunners." But underneath it all are drugs, he says, and their addictive consequences. This is where drug education and prevention come in, and rehabilitation.
The vicious alternative to an ethical and drug-free society is being dumped on our doorsteps. But those persons might once have been educated, or rehabilitated. Effective drug rehab methods exist. Recovery is possible. Do we have the guts not to quit doing the good work?

where you guys at?
didn't really see an "audiophile" thread.. only ones have headphones.
discuss in-ear monitors, headphones, equipment (cd players, speakers...), audiophile music, etc.

I've got dre dre beats, am i an audiophile?^
General rule of thumb with audiophile equipment is that if you can get at the same place you can buy a washing machine and a copy of Timecop, it's not audiophile equipment.
I've been using Ultrasone DJ1 pros for the past couple of years. Best I've owned so far.
Originally posted by Inactive UserOkay, maybe i should have cleared that up a bit... obviously the sub i'm expecting to sit on the floor... i meant i didn't want the actual speakers on stands, since i already have the wires pulled through the ceiling to install speakers on the walls....
So any ideas on decent/good sound systems for a flat???
Originally posted by Inactive Useranyone recommend me a good starter table under a g? i know the tonearm and cartridge totally change the sound and that the speakers are a bigger concern as far as sound quality goes, but im looking at this long term, and just want start gettin em piece by piece as money frees up
Originally posted by Inactive UserAll depends on the sound system... but i would say off the top of my head... roughly any where from $1300 - $3000ish
