'Is Alcohol Worse Than Ecstasy?' takes a scientific look towards the current ranking system of drugs.In a surprising outcome, alcohol, solvents and tobacco (all unclassified drugs) are rated more dangerous than ecstasy, 4-MTA and LSD (all class A drugs). If the current ABC system is retained, alcohol would be rated a class A drug and tobacco class B.The drug policies have remained unchanged over the last 40 years; this film highlights that it is now high time for a change in the current ABC System, which is arbitrary and unscientific in the context of the new research findings.The scientists involved, including members of the government's top advisory committee on drug classification, have produced a thorough assessment of the social and individual harm caused by 20 of the UK's most dangerous drugs and assert that this should form the basis of future ranking.

Dope Sick Love is a really outstanding documentary made for HBO about two pairs of heroin addicted lovers roaming the streets of New York City.But it is quite different from the conventional documentaries as there is no narration or interviews with the lovers, the camera just follows them around, completely detached, watching them score dope, shoot it, make up, hustle, and even impersonate cops to rob people!The people being followed don't even seem aware that they're being filmed! The footage is amazingly candid, highlighting tiny details that careless documentary filmmakers would leave out.This film shows the nitty-gritty of what it is like to be on the street and addicted to heroin. Some of the footage is truly horrifying; like watching one guy frantically searching for the fix he lost; and when he does find it, the guy literally dances in the street.The recurring nature of drug addiction becomes very apparent while watching this, as addicts are shown to go through enormous amount of trouble just to get one score.

Girls are sold from one pimp to another and they are purely a commodity … if they get pregnant they are then forced into having an abortion.Moldova a very poor country has become one of the key suppliers of girls for the sex trade. Newspapers are used for advertising…70% of the girls probably realise where they will be going and what they will be involved in but the other 30% simply are tricked and know nothing of what to expect…many of them leave young children behind with mothers or other relatives.Many questions are broached involving but not exclusively:How can they become involved.Why cant they run awayWho controls the girls destinyWhat are they promisedAre they simply not intelligent enough to understand the risksWhat are the psychological capabilities of the girlsWho are the transporters, pimps…traffickersAre forced abortions standardThis documentary follows some of the individuals involved in this very shady trade.The girls are "broken" in front of the other girls and completely suppressed and become completely submissive.Abroad and big money are key phrases which lure these poor girls into this terrible sexuality trade.We follow an attempt to recover one of the girls from this forced trade but she is only one of 30, 40, 50 thousand trafficked girls to European countries. In most countries the trafficked women are treated as illegal immigrants and as such if they are apprehended by te police they are then locked up and degraded again before finally being deported….the police really have no sympathy for girls they believe to be simple prostitutes who knew what they were getting into.This one girl has been recovered but she will be terribly scarred psychologically…. having suffered rape, drugging, beatings, abortion and further humiliation things could never return to the same as they were..Sadly there seems to be no reduction of this trafficking .More information can be found about sex slaves and trafficking at this website http://www.pbs.org"

This is no ordinary travel documentary; this is total "Hell on Earth". Warlords, cannibalism, child soldiers on heroin, squalor and total madness. General Bin Laden, General Butnaked, General Mosquito…just imagine the scene in Baboon town. This is a black humorous look at what is a comical yet deadly situation…amazing!What Andy Capper, Editor Vice UK, is said about the film: We came to Liberia with a small team of three and quickly found a local journalist who would be our guide and fixer. Our first shoot location was the prestigious West Point, home to 80,000 people living in that redefine squalor. Thousands of rotting garbage around the neighborhood, which has no sewage system.Almost everyone – including local government officials – defecate and urinate in the open. Drugs, prostitution and armed robbery are the main industries. We got to know some of the residents of West Point, they told us their stories as he smoked heroin and cocaine and we asked for money.Then we visited a local brothel. Women who lived there spoke to us about the UN peacekeepers who have sex with child prostitutes and beat older women, and then not pay.But perhaps the most revealing parts of our trip to Liberia came to the meeting of the main leaders of the nation's civil wars. There is a tradition in the Liberian militias outrageous noms de guerre assumed. Therefore, our subjects Bin Laden named General, General Rambo and General Butt Naked. The latter, in particular, was one of the Liberian warlords, most famous. He claims to have personally killed 20,000 people, including babies, and sometimes have cannibalized his victims.Today, General Butt Naked is on his birth name, which is Joshua. During our time together, we said that Liberia will surely implode into civil war when the UN leaves again next year. But in the meantime, Joshua wants to redeem himself. He offered us a vision of Liberia that wants to establish, and we are growing for him. He took us to his church, which rehabilitates child soldiers. We watched as he preached his way through Monrovia on a Sunday.Is there a possibility that successful mission, and the civil war still can be avoided in this country so desperately? That's one of the many questions that arose with our safe return of Liberia. View our documentary about our stay there and see what you think.

This hard hitting documentary that Russell Brand made for BBC Three in 2012 finished up with him offering proof to the Home Affairs Select Committee. Drawing from his own personal experiences of drug use and recuperation, with his firm belief that drug addiction should be treated as a health issue instead of a criminal problem. He underlines his thoughts on abstinence being the best way forward to tackle addiction.From that point forward the Committee has reported its discoveries, showing that the British drug laws were coming up short and that it is 'now or never'. Be that as it may, David Cameron did not agree, insisting that the approach taken by the UK is adequate and should be stuck by. In this individual excursion for BBC Three, Russell Brand embarks to test that perspective. He aims to discover how different nations are handling their issues of drug misuse and attempts to investigate how the system of criminalization on drug users in the 'war on drugs' produces tremendous damage in the healing of addicts. Russell accepts that 'a movement' is occurring in the way that individual's perceive drug addiction. In any case, to truly change things he needs to induce the individuals who have power.Watch more DRUG DOCUMENTARIES on Documentary Tube.Watch more ACTIVISM DOCUMENTARIES on Documentary Tube.

"This documentary from the Vice team borders on the absolutely most scary of their series.Beware of Scopolamine it is a killer drug with NO benefits.The team went to Columbia to explore the report of the most dangerous drug in the world; not due to recreational use but because of it's use as a criminal and deadly agent. There is nothing in the deadly country of Columbia which the peolpe fear more than this drug..or falling foul of it's use.Scopolamine, also known as "The Devil's Breath." is a drug which is so very powerful and renders those subjected to it completely void of their own will…they are totally under the control of the criminal who has administered it!! They can be taken to the ATM and withdraw all their money or drive to their own house and empty every item and anyone observing would believe they have done so under their own free will. It is this robbery of the persons free will which makes this so lethal.It is used by crime gangs and prostitutes to rob abuse and often kill the individual…it is used in abductions and there is nothing at all recreational about this drug.This is one drug that even drug abusers in their own right avoid like the plague…one manipulator describes it as worse than Anthrax.Scopolamine and its use in Columbia has completely changed the Vice teams thoughts and they too were so careful to flush the drug down the toilet….it can be carried airborne or administered in a drink …just so lethal and frightening.Victims who survive the experience remember nothing of what they have done and usually have repeated flashback of memory loss.Beware of this killer drug."

Athletes take recourse to various drugs to increase the natural performance of their bodies. While majority of the athletes develop their muscle mass by using standard techniques like lifting weights or running. However, there exist a few athletes who take help of artificial substances. These substances promote the growth of muscles and the expression of male traits teenage boys experience at puberty.Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS), commonly called steroids, are a derivate of the testosterone male hormone.Man's body is designed in a way that it can adapt itself to the harshest of environments. This becomes possible when muscles increase their size over relatively-short periods of time. Working out depends on the same phenomenon. When we undertake an exercise small tears are created inside the muscle fibers. These tears get repaired by the immune system.When repairing takes place, our body also compensates for the damage, and adds more material to the muscles than that got ripped. If this process is undertaken repeatedly then the muscle mass visibly grows, to the point where it becomes noticeable. In case of constant recurrence exact muscular mass gets developed.Steroids promote this kind of growth but artificially. They travel via the blood stream to the cells. They hook up to small portions of the cells known as androgen receptors. From there they pick up the molecules and carry them inside muscle cells. At that point, DNA is combined and proteins of a specific kind are released. The use of steroids only leads to dire consequences.Steroids help in accelerating cell and muscle growth. Being an artificial process, the body is not always equipped to handle such massive and rapid changes. Therefore there are side effects in most cases.The film makes a point against the use of drugs to improve muscle mass. As per the claims made by the film, instead of picking up steroid spending some time in the gym each week would produce similar results.

The film set in 2015 is follows the investigation into the two girls' deaths by an drug agent who worked closely with an ex-drugs policeman. The film shows the differing cases that emerged. Experts such as former chief constable Francis Wilkinson argued the case for pro-legalization, while David Raynes of the National Drug Prevention Alliance was one of the voices arguing against.Based on rigorous research and interviews with experts, the documentary delves on arguments that suggest drugs like cocaine and heroin must be made legal, and examines how a legal and regulated system of drugs would work.The film shows that the government has decided to legalize drugs. UK, along with European countries, Canada and Australia, has opted out of the UN treaties which control drugs. The film shows that the trade from possession to use and production to supply of drugs has been legalized.The drama opens with the deaths of two girls in a club which is licensed to sell drugs. In the scenario, most drugs are readily available, with government health warnings and lists of ingredients, from various outlets. Drugs of addiction, like heroin, are free but only available on prescription from Swiss-styled heroin clinics. Cocaine is still illegal. The whole trade is regulated by a new agency, called Ofdrug.The film raises the question if drug legalization could really reduce crime overall, and if it could make drug use any safer.

'Waiting to Inhale' examines the heated debate over marijuana and its use as medicine in the United States. It sheds new light on this controversy and presents shocking new evidence that marijuana could hold a big stake in the future of medicine.Legislation to protect patients who use medical marijuana has been passed by 12 states. Yet opponents claim the medical argument is just a disguise for a different agenda – to legalize marijuana for recreation and profit.This film looks into details such as the claims that are being made and their stakes. Waiting to Inhale takes viewers inside the lives of patients who have been forever changed by illness—and parents who lost their children to addiction.It even attempts to evaluate whether there is any evidence to support the claim that marijuana can alleviate some of the devastating symptoms of AIDS, cancer and multiple sclerosis.It is striking from the social stand point that we deal with marijuana more harshly than alcohol despite the fact that alcohol causes more deaths and more injuries, making peoples' judgment impaired more than marijuana.

'Hooked: Illegal Drugs and How They Got That Way' traces the history of ceratin drugs sshowing that they were not always illegal, but were a medication against many "sicknesses", like depressions or feeling tired. Even "coke" got popular because it has extracts of the coca-leave in it.Illegal drugs such as Crack, Cocaine, Opium, Marijuana, Heroine, etc make people addictive, shorten life-expectancy and change the social outlook too, posing a risk for the users as well as others.This film also illustrates how in these days, drugs are often a sign of problems in people's life as it becomes their only recourse when reality is too demanding.

Colombian traffickers are using a new secret weapon smuggling cocaine north – drug submarines.Up to 30 meters long and almost impossible to detect, are capable of delivering several tons of cocaine in one shipment.Dozens of submarines are believed to be operating between the coasts of Colombia and Mexico, and police estimate that another 70 will be built next year alone.NGC is U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and the Colombian military agents in search of drug submarine construction in some of the most remote jungles of the planet.Here, where the malaria-infested mosquitoes swarm narco-generals and heavy hand of the local population, there are at least 300 known cocaine laboratories and finished countless drug submarines and their factories.In hard-fought war against drug trafficking, an estimated catch comes in: a surprisingly sophisticated sub built by hand in the jungle

'The War On Drugs: The Prison Industrial Complex' reveals a surprising number of figures of drug offenders in The United States.It shows how the number of Americans imprisoned on drug charges have grown in leaps and bounds from just 50,000 in 1980 to nearly 500,00 within three decades, making the United States operate the largest prison system on the planet.According to the U.S. Dept of Justice, the number of offenders under age 18, mostly African-Americans, imprisoned for drug offenses increased twelvefold from 1985 to 1997 and the number put in prison increased from 53 to 62 percent.Today, 89 percent of police departments have paramilitary units, and 46 percent have been trained by active duty armed forces. The most common use of paramilitary units is serving drug-related search warrants, which usually involve no-knock entries into private homes.

This is the antibiotic I have to go to the hospital everyday to get through an IV. I kinda wish I would stop looking this crap up.''Life threatening infections'', ''blood clots'', bone necrosis ?? poop
Vancomycin is indicated for the treatment of serious, life-threatening infections by Gram-positive bacteria that are unresponsive to other less-toxic antibiotics. In particular, vancomycin should not be used to treat methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus because it is inferior to penicillins such as nafcillin.[15][16]
Tomorrow is my last day of antibiotics-final diagnosis was pneumonia,staph infection ,MRSA and post op infection(which means they just shotgun me with AB's . The blood clots seem to be clearing up (serum level 2.4) -up from 1.3.Now I begin PT-passive then aggressive.

Singer Tulsi Kumar has sung a romantic number "Saanson ne" for Sonakshi Sinha in "Dabangg 2", on the request of the film's lead actor Salman Khan.
"Salman liked my song 'Humko pyaar hua' from 'Ready' and asked me to try a romantic number for 'Dabangg 2'. After the recording, both Salman and Arbaaz Khan liked the way I sang the number and finalised my rendition for the film," Tulsi said in a statement.
"Saanson ne", composed by Sajid-Wajid, is a duet with Sonu Nigam. The song is about love and commitment towards each other.
In the past, Tulsi has lent voice to actresses like Katrina Kaif, Kangna Ranaut, Asin and Karisma Kapur in songs picturised on them. She is known for singing "Tum jo aaye zindagi mein" from "Once Upon a Time in Mumbai".
In the near future, her songs will be heard in movies like "Nautanki Saala", "Yaariyaan", "I Love New York", "Aashiqui 2" and "Zilla Ghaziabad".

Having a look around!
Like just about everyone on these sites, I find it hard to write something meaningful about myself in a little box. And, it's hard not to be skeptical about online dating given the results so far. But, I'm giving match a try, and therefore taking a shot at filling in this little box! I'm 6'2", black (of Hispanic descent), and have some extra weight on me (though much less than 6 months ago--down 45 pounds since December, working for more). I shave my head, and usually go with the unshaven look on the face. I'm masculine and like all types of guys, though I tend to like other masculine guys the most. I work out a lot these days, play golf, take guitar lessons, and travel around the east coast a lot to see friends and family. Love to cook or get a good meal out. I've lived in Boston for 7 years, headed west in July. I'm not much of a clubber or dancer. I'm most content watching baseball or a tennis match over a few good beers. Wouldn't describe myself as a jock or sports hound, though. I'm into music, mostly rock and folk. Nothing beats going to a concert--have been to the Bonnaroo Music Festival three times! I get very excited when I find new bands that I like, but never get tired of the old stuff that I have fallen for. I like movies, but am not a buff. I get a bit geeky over sci fi, love a good drama or action film, and a good comedy is always fun. I work hard and have a significant serious (borderline workaholic) side. But I know how to take care of myself, make time for me, and find the humor in everything. I have a great sense of humor and can appreciate anything from quirky to slapstick. Love to laugh, especially in the company of good friends. I have a great group of close friends scattered between Boston and Washington, DC, and make it a priority to make time for them. Life is good, and I don't have much to complain about.

I told Mike early on that I could ride from Denver to Anchorage without a map, seems an outlandish statement until you look at a large scale paper map yourself. The route traverses the West, both in the States and Canuckistan, an area containing numerous mountain ranges, and crisscrossed with rivers. Combined with a small population, the region contains only a limited number of roads, a tiny selection compared to the Eastern regions on both side of the border. When the choices are limited to paved roads running generally north and west, its slim pickins, near impossible to go wrong. I brought a GPS anyway, ya know, just for data collection maybe some other functions as well.
I had rehearsed the airport jailbreak, was buttoned up and moving, an all around system check underway, getting used to the fiery growl of that Leo Vince. The bike was running along fine, nothing unusual, ergos good, no adjustments, not even the mirrors. Nothing had fallen off the back of the bike yet either. I thought I could get out of the airport without the GPS, wasnt happening, and when I pulled up the GPS map, the track was plotting where there was no road shown, aha, new road. My other problem was getting the boot from the airport before I could open the vents on my jacket, liner was still in too, and I was cruising 80mph in100 degree temps, a freakin furnace. Is this supposed to be dry heat, and does it matter?
I bumbled and fumbled my way over to I25 north, lucky I was damn good at the improvisational process, then the first exit, man, I needed liquid and calories. Id been effectively traveling for 12 hours, had moved the bike all of 30 miles, and my itinerary said 300 to go, that is, if fatigue didnt get me first. When I came back out of the quick mart, there was a big puddle under the bike, naw, the bike wasnt leaking fluid, it was sweat running out the sleeves of my jacket. I was finishing my ice cream when a guy came over to look at this bike, all packed for travel. He was shaking his head as I explained how I came to be riding it today, the first of one million such explanations, scratch that, more like two.
Kicked the tires, checked the oil and chain, tightened some straps, did a walk around, and found nothing but a missing M4 fairing bolt which was of no consequence. The bike was prepped and tight, just like Mike said it would be. Back on I25, I was sliding around on the seat, testing my new aero package, I hadnt had a windscreen on my bikes for the last 100,000 miles. The results with me in the saddle were mixed, but hopeful. The bike was still pulling a big ass refrigerator down the road, but it now it was only a 27cf double door, heck, I was positively slipping through the air, one sleekified mofo. Thats my story, anyhow.
I was headed to the mountains, and had traded some speed for a more straight line route that local knowledge might have provided. I was looking around, not paying attention, when I rode past the 66 exit, had to grab all the brakes and turn around in the median. Yeah, there was one of them signs, but I figured I was on an Official international mission, an airtight excuse. This road would start me almost due west, away from the Denver metro sprawl, and into an area that I hadnt traveled for over 50 years.
The route transitions to 36 at Lyons, and takes me up through Estes Park, gradually shedding development and traffic, although the remaining traffic with RVs mixed in was agonizingly slow, few opportunities to pass. Estes Park itself was busy for early in the season, with near roadblocks on the west side of town where people had stopped to photograph elk grazing along the street. Climbing the foothills, I finally got a hint of what I was after, grabbed the camera, and never packed it away for ten days.
Highway 36 changes to 34 west of Estes Park, and I found the entrance kiosk to Rocky Mountain National Park. Mike had left his park pass in the tank bag for my use if needed, so I handed it over to the Ranger. He looked at it, then asked, Where you from? This might be a trick question, so I said Well, most recently, Denver. After a very long pause, Ok, do you need a map? Man, still no gunfire from anyone in uniform, I was on a roll, too tired for a running gun battle over a Park pass.
The road in the Park starts northwest into higher elevations, smokey haze in the air.
Some snow up high, but I have no way to gauge if this amount is average or not. In my part of Virginia, you have to buy fake snow in a spray can if you want frosted windows for a Christmas scene, and here it was still on the ground in the middle of June. No thanks, I dont ski any more too dangerous, I ride motorbikes instead.
The valleys below always have a creek, maybe a river depending on who had naming rights, prime habitat for elk and deer.
There wasnt much traffic, although cars were parked in most of the turnouts.
Climbing, the mountain views fantastic, with the temperature about 50 degrees cooler than the I25 corridor, what a relief.
There was a cutoff to the south that vehicles were using if they hadnt used the same Park gate I had, creating a different loop with a few more vehicles, I stayed right and kept climbing.
I crossed the Continental Divide, the first, but not the last time on this trip. Above the tree line, high wind warning signs, and now it was downright cool. This was a different world, and it struck me, I was a long damn way from Virginia.
Id seen some HD cruisers coming down this mountain road, but no dual sport type rides until I found a pair of BMWs parked in a turnout, eastern Ontario riders on board. They tried to schedule a ride west in the States every year, a cheap vacation for Canucks, all things considered, and they laughed while agreeing when I said as much. They were four long days from the mountains just like I was, and all of us knew the way. Goodbye, I had to keep moving, shopping the view.
I made my way across the top in windswept rarified air, thinking the brash notions of a travlin man.

NOW we're talkin'. GO JDROCKS!
The bike was there on Trailridge just eight months earlier- Estes at 6am.
Only, I didn't take many pictures- just the beginning and end, and I got snowed on a bit while above timberline- saw some of the biggest coyotes I've ever seen (the other tourons were convinced they were wolves!!)(They were wrong) Here's Grand Lake-

i did see one "touron" of particular interest on top, a big haired young lady in a string bikini getting her photo taken standing in some snow along the road, barefoot. a big gust of wind pushed the bike over closer to that side of the road, couldn't help but notice she was looking a little...nippy.
no other furry creatures spotted.

Through a series of switchbacks, snow poles marking the edge for the plow operators, and I was running almost due south, huh, I was supposed to be headed to the GWN.
There are only so many roads through these mountains, and I would connect to my northbound road in another 40 miles or so, but in the meantime the scenery was great as I gradually rode down to lower elevations.
The camera could be pointed in any direction, tough to miss.
I had burned up some fuel since the airport, and hadnt yet gotten an accurate feel for what the bars on this bikes fuel gauge meant, but what I did know was that the bike would run quite a ways on a flashing warning light. Hold that thought, cause I was low on fuel, unsure of how far ahead a fuel stop would be, other than by the lake according to the Ranger at the gate. I should have slowed down, and I did once in a while trying to get a photo of some grazing elk, no luck, but otherwise I was flying along, Wyoming on my mind. The Leo Vince was great for keeping animals from jumping into the road, not so good for a photo sneak, cant have everything.
It looked like there could be some good camping locations along this road if needed, and then I passed the Park boundary, residential and commercial activity picked up instantly. I found the Lakeview country store the Ranger was talking about at a large body of water I thought was Shadow Mountain, as opposed to the smaller adjacent lake called Grand Lake.
Nice setting, but they had fuel and ice cold Mountain Dew, all I really cared about. Well, that and ice cream, it was hotter than heck again down low.
Caught some shade, cooled off as best I could, then southwest, passing Lake Granby to the east. The Colorado River flows out of these reservoir lakes, looked like very low water level to me.
The floating dock marina must have relocated their slips several times already.
Low water lever, thats ok, I wouldnt have turned down a boat ride if offered.
Down to 40, crossing the Colorado River on the way, then a jog northwest to 125, where I turned north. Kremmerling was just a short distance west of this intersection, and was the first of several instances in which I would be close to or on roads from the CDR portion of my 2011 ride.
Highway 125 follows a north/south valley at its start, and is a fine moto road, foothills to the east and west.
A creek follows the road, crossing occasionally, possibly Coyote Creek, perfectly completing the foothill image.
Dead pine beetle afflicted trees in all directions, it doesnt take much imagination to see a picture of what a forest fire could do in this area.
I crossed the Continental Divide again after not many miles, part of the Routt National Forest to the east, the Arapaho National Forest to the west.
This valley gradually opens to 50 miles in width, the Rockies running north northwest on both sides, yielding to room for large ranches running cattle, also irrigated hay and alfalfa.
I was moving, cruise right up there in the optimal digits, cooler in low sun, with just an occasional ranch truck on the road for company.
The land was far from flat, eroded ridgelines and creek bottoms lending the country interesting features.
Highway 125 turned northwest at Northgate, now I was riding headlong towards the state line.
I had to stop when I saw the Wyoming sign, both a photo and a needed break, the first of many of these signs as I crossed state lines and provincial boundaries, cant forget borders.
Wyoming in the bag, I was afraid to look at my watch to see what time it was, and was thinking in dog years by now.
The road number had changed to 230 in Wyoming, while the country had flattened out, the appearance not concealing the wild.
I had my sights on Riverside, I knew there was a campground there, but when I finally rode into town I found a pair of biker bars and a campground populated by a dug in Hurley crowd. I did stop, gave it that much, but I had the antenna extended and was receiving a bad vibe, just like that little tingle of warning you get when youre about to short an AC circuit. I even took a minute to talk to a local woman trying to start a beat up riding lawn mower, she must have wanted it for transportation, there wasnt any grass around. Between what she said and her body language, the message was clear. I was ready to stop, heck, I needed to stop, but pass, I wasnt into meth, and I continued due north up the road to Saratoga, didnt buy the T-shirt. Riverside, a small, dusty, half boarded up town, had become a destination for the black chap, head bandana boys, unlikely, but there it was.
The sun was very low now, the searing temps of the day gone, and the locals came out of the shady places where they had been resting most of the day.
I did intend to camp, but by Saratoga that option was off the table, no freakin way. I rode right up to the very first hotel I sighted, seemed ok, but no senior discount, I didnt try that hard. I unloaded the bike, dragged everything to the room, and tried to unwind with some cold beer and an eight pack of fried chicken. Thats right, I ate the whole thing, couldnt get through all the beer, even if it came out of the cooler at 35 degrees.
I did check my watch as I hit the light switch, no wonder I was tired. Id been going non stop for exactly 24 hours, an eventful first day, the pace was outrageous. It was adventure that didnt translate easily, but a language I fully understood.

Day 2: Saratoga, Wyoming to Red Lodge, Montana (513 miles)
I rarely, lets just say never, reset a watch on a trip like this, and when my internal clock said it was time to get up, boom boom, and I was on my feet, padding around the room through a train wreck of gear. The motel was quiet, I reckon it should be at 7AM eastern. I had been down for all of 4 hours, the heck with that, cant get to Montana by bed nesting in Wyoming, and I went about the process of reorganizing gear. My junk hadnt found its place quite yet on this already packed bike, no problem, now that was fixed.
There was a utility crew working the area, they were stirring by 5 mountain, and I heard those diesel trucks crank not long after, beat some of the heat, work long days, head home Thursday night. None of the construction crews I saw working the big jobs were local men, always travelers. I had the bike packed up, grabbed some free coffee in the lobby, time to go, headed for the Big Sky.
Adios, Hacienda, thanks for the 4 hours and hot shower. PS, left a couple beers for the housekeeper, hope it works out.
Through Saratoga, crossing the North Platte River on highway 130, and the river looked a little high for that float fishing trip. This road runs due north, and I cleared the outskirts of town quickly in light traffic. I got a look at the sky north and west, my direction of travel, hmmm, mixed, dark clouds on the distant horizon, not sure which way the day would go. The good news, only 65 degrees, and I pass the utility crew from the Hacienda, trenching line along the railroad tracks. Recognizing the bike, I got an enthusiastic wave.
From various reports, many riders dont like crossing the big spaces as found along this road, way too much of the undesirable heat, wind, and dust, nothing of interest anyway. Not me, this terrain is part of what I came west to see, riding through, not around, looking things over, always.
I had been through the area before, but didnt recall all the high snow fence, maybe it was new, or I hadnt noticed. Not sure, but there were miles of it now.
There were many antelope along the road, sometimes in shade and out of the wind next to the snow fence, couldnt sneak the damn things. They would let you ride by a hundred feet away, never even look up, but if you stopped, they were long gone before you found neutral. I was riding the only north/south road connecting I80 and points south in this area, still only an occasional vehicle. This was not a remote road, but points directly to bike prep, man, there is absolutely no good place for any kind of problem out here, none. If youre a person of eternal optimism when it comes to diligent prep, these places are where your luck could instantly evaporate.
I needed fuel at the I80 intersection for a push of riding all the way up to Lander, and now the wind was whipping around the gas island, gray clouds of dust swirling off the gravel. There were various ranch trucks there, some with stock trailers, some without, the drivers clothes bleached by sun and wind, brown bark skin where showing, and not much was showing the idea was to stay covered up, there were consequences.
Of apparent good humor, face it, these were good examples of men found across the west, theyd seen it all, or most of it. When a Civic pulled up for gas, and that guy jumped out wearing homie shorts, wife beater, ball hat backwards, maybe an ex break dancer, you had your choice. Id take the guy leaning up against the building, ya know, the one with that saucer sized rodeo belt buckle.
West on I80, straight into a wind that was now blowing hard enough to rock those tractor trailers loaded to 40 tons. The gusts were moving the bike around, special effects around the big rigs, passing me except on grades, and I was grateful when the Rawlins by-pass exit came up quickly. Id dropped a bar on the fuel gauge since I filled up less than 40 miles back.
Now on highway 287, Chief Washakie Highway, I was riding north northwest again, the cross wind severe, the Great Divide Basin to the west. At about the ten mile mark above Rawlins, I crossed the Continental Divide again at approximately 7,200 feet.
This is another well known connector road, not much out here today.
I was feeling sorry for myself having to deal with the heat and wind, then I passed the first of six long range bicycle riders, four southbound, two northbound, four women, two men. I quit complaining when they smiled widely and waved, I must be a freakin wimpy mofo. This road is part of the Transcontinental Bicycle Route, all I can think to say is, good luck.
Before 287 turns to the west at Muddy Gap, the Divide is crossed again, a long climb for the hardy bicycle people.
Plenty to look at on the east side of the Basin, but I think all of the early settlers were looking for one thing only water.
West from Muddy Gap, part of 287 follows the old Oregon Trail, no mystery, the creek sized Sweetwater River runs parallel to the route on the north side. Id crossed this road before and had seen herds of wild horses, few cattle, now, few horses, but plenty of cattle, or as many as water and grass would allow.
The Granite Mountains were visible to the north.
This dome was a known landmark, the Sweetwater River only a mile or two south.
This is the scene the overland travelers were looking at as they continued west, and then southwest.
There were some ranch road entrances off 287, no ranch headquarters visible, meaning the buildings themselves were nearing 20 miles from pavement at minimum, a long slow way to travel if ya have the misfortune to run outta beer or Copenhagen. Not beer, but I was craving some liquid, and dialed the speed up to rip. I was racing west into a shimmering mirage stretching across the horizon, a dragons fiery breath in my face, adding a whole new dimension to hot.

i already use the toolbar filter so i see that the filter settings are stored in post data but i can't figure out how to create a method that will pass along all of the filter settings / rules to the server from jqgrid.
i see a bunch of jqgrid "export to excel" example after googling but similar to this example, none of them seem to be passing the filter information to the serverside.

RE: Williams to L.A
My choice would be to see Hoover Dam and take the tour. Then spend the night in Las Vegas and then on to LA the next day.
You could also go down to Lake Havasu and see London Bridge, but unless you have a boat there isn't much else to do.
Grand Canyon isn't really an option as you would be back tracking and have a really long drive from any place to LA.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman is conceding that an 82-game regular season is unlikely. Speaking at a press conference to announce the New York Islanders' pending move to Brooklyn yesterday, Bettman said the union has opted not to negotiate off the league's proposal from last week that called for a 50-50 split of revenue. Bettman says a labor deal would have to be in place by Thursday in order for that to happen and the two sides aren't even talking.
82 NHL Season Unlikely

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico—The CEO of a successful independent integration firm is likely a great manager, but is he or she a great leader? Maybe, but not necessarily, said PSA Security CEO Bill Bozeman on Oct. 24, when he announced the launch of a new training program for integrators called PSA Security Leadership Institute.
TAMPA, Fla.—It's been in the works for 18 months, but the partnership announced Oct. 3 between PSA Security and BICSI—a professional association that supports the information technology systems (ITS) industry—could not have come at a better time, said Bill Bozeman, PSA Security CEO.
ORLANDO, Fla.—Details of the TechSec 2012 educational program were announced by conference organizers on Sept. 20, the second day of the ASIS show here.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 12/26/12
Cowboys defensive lineman Josh Brent was indicted Wednesday by a Dallas County grand jury for intoxication manslaughter. Brent, 24, was behind the wheel of his Mercedes-Benz on Dec. 8 when it hit a curb and flipped in Irving, Texas, killing Cowboys teammate Jerry Brown Jr., a member of the practice squad. Brent was accused of drunken driving. The Dallas County District Attorney's office had no comment on the indictment, The Dallas Morning News reported. Brent is free on bail, which was reduced from $500,000 after the accident to $100,000. He has not played since the crash but remains with the team. His presence on the sideline for a Cowboys game caused a stir several weeks ago. The maximum sentence for intoxication manslaughter is 20 years in prison, but Brent could be eligible for probation. No trail date was set.

"The Odd Life of Timothy Green," a warm and lovely fantasy, is the kind of full-bodied family film being pushed aside in favor of franchises and slam-bang confusion. On a picture-postcard farm in the middle of endlessly rolling hills where it is always Indian Summer, a lovable boy comes into the life of a childless couple, and brings along great joy and wisdom.
Timothy isn't born and he isn't adopted. He seems to have grown in the garden. The movie very wisely makes no attempt to explain how this happened. His new parents have tried everything to conceive a child of their own, and one desperate night, they open a bottle of red wine and start making a list of the things their perfect child should have. This they put in a box and bury in their garden, and after a torrential downpour and a lightning storm — why, there's Timothy (CJ Adams), covered with wet earth and with leaves growing from his legs. Makes perfect sense to me. How about you?
"You can call us Cindy and Jim," say the bewildered Greens (Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton). Timothy says he'll just call them Mom and Dad. Awww. This clear-eyed and beautiful little boy has a knack for saying tactful things, but a tendency to lack information you might think he'd know — for example, the difference between the two goals in a soccer game.
The Greens hardly even attempt to explain his appearance in their house. During an untimely family reunion the very next day, Timothy is so direct and friendly, people sort of accept him. Not so much his grandfather (David Morse, who was a demanding parent to Jim), but certainly his lovable Uncle Bob and Aunt Mel (M. Emmet Walsh and Lois Smith). The supporting cast is rich with not only those actors, but a welcome selection of other familiar faces: Dianne Wiest as the mean-spirited supervisor of the local Pencil Museum, Shohreh Aghdashloo as an official of the state adoption agency, Ron Livingston and James Rebhorn as the son and father who own the pencil factory, and hip-hop star Common as the soccer coach.
About those pencils. The movie is set in Stanleyville, "The Pencil Capital of the World." Times are hard. Computers are making it tough on pencils, and the factory is threatened with closure. Timothy saves the day with an inspiration from his closest friend, a teenage girl named Joni Jerome, played by the sort of transcendent Odeya Rush. She rides around with her bicycle basket filled with brightly colored leaves, and although her origin is not mystical as Timothy's, she's an openhearted nature girl who completely agrees that if you have leaves growing from your calves, you must sometimes spread your arms and lift your face to the sun.
"The Odd Life of Timothy Green" is accessible to all but the youngest children, and I suspect their parents will enjoy it, too. It respects the integrity of its story by dealing with real emotions of loss and parting. It's intelligently constructed by writer-director Peter Hedges (who wrote "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" and "About a Boy"); instead of being simpleminded like too many family films, it treats the characters with care and concern. Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton are appealing together as far from perfect parents, and CJ Adams has that ability of so many child actors to be pitch-perfect.
