Seeking other outdoor enthusiasts
I try to get the most out of life. I work hard during the week and try to spend my weekends doing as much as I can to maximize the moments of life. I love to be outdoors in the mountains as much as possible and would like to find someone who wants to spend quality time together hiking or skiing or mountain biking. If you are not interested in strapping on a pair of skis/snowboard or a backpack most weekends please understand it is not going to work. I have a wicked sense of humor and try to laugh everyday. Right now my daughter makes me laugh at least ten times an hour.. She is 3 years old, I adopted her when she was five days old, and brings me such extreme joy. Before I got her I wondered how other people balanced parenting, work, relationships etc. but now that she is in my life I could not imagine life without her!!! I am attracted to goal oriented men who are down to earth, can carry a conversation and want to have a family. I am not into the bar scene at all and would rather have friends over for great wine, good food and amazing conversation that sit in a bar. I am also more comfortable on a mountain trail than sitting at a bar. I am an avid reader and gave up tv about three years ago. I still occasionally watch something, mainly toddler movies, but I have so much more time to do other things when I gave it up. I enjoy hanging out with friends and family, am also up for a great BBQ.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Playing sports , Political interests , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting

BenQ Shows First HD HDMI Monitors
By Gordon Kelly at
Published 25th July 2006
This High Definition malarkey is all well and good but how many realise that owning a monitor with a 1920 x 1080 screen resolution is not the only requirement for HD viewing? An HDMI interface comes in very handy too and BenQ has just become the Worlds first manufacturer to offer LCDs with one.
Introduced to us at the funky Sway Restaurant in Holborn on Friday afternoon, the FP241W and FP241WZ should be a multimedia aficionados paradise. They both sport massive 24in screens with 1920 x 1200 native resolutions to support 1080p playback, have brightnesss of 500cd/m2 and contrast ratios of 1000:1 but most importantly HDMI.
For those (still) not in the know, HDMI is the digital audio/video interface which will be used to carry full uncompressed High Definition content. It is backwards compatible with DVI-D and should be fundamental to any HD fanatics upgrade path (for a full run down check out Riyads extensive guide here). Naturally the two models also have S-Video, Composite and Component connections. They weigh an identical 10.6Kg, measure 567 x 248 x 474.2mm, incorporate lightening quick 6ms response times too and wide 178 degrees viewing angles.
So what is this Z all about? Well it refers to an advancement in BenQs popular AMA (Advanced Motion Accelerator) technology which is designed to eliminate jittery motion lines and image ghosting. What happens is quite simple: alternative black frames are spliced between standard frames. Yes it sounds disastrous but in actual fact mimics the effect of a CRT and I can confirm the human eye responds far more naturally to it than traditional LCDs. The downside is it should be switched off for text work since it dims the screen.
A 100 euro premium has been slapped on the FP241WZ - making the two models 900 and 800 euros respectively - and it will be well worth the extra cash when both drop in August.
Looks great but I'm not sure why they say "First HD HDMI Monitor"

Stayed at Sheppard's Place for 3 nights in the beginning of August. Got there quite late at night and the night light was on and warm welcome at hand. This is a very informal B&B and really like visiting relatives (that you want to visit) as opposed to a commercial transaction. Bedroom was very comfortable (booked late so had a room with shared bath which was no problem and were given choice to move on last night but the bed was so comfortable we opted to stay)The house itself is very comfortable and you can help yourself to all common areas including the garden (very nice) and deck should you want to relax and have a glass of wine or cold beer. The Breakfast is excellent and effort was made on the 3 mornings of our stay to give us a variety with lot's of choices and pleanty to eat. Once again it is an informal setting and you could find yourself seated with another group or couple but we found this refreshing and interesting as there were groups from several countries and states. It is a pet friendly B&B which we also liked and is in a great location with easy walking distance to the Beach, restaraunts and shops. We were even give free beach passes while there. All in all we would recommend this B&B for those looking for a warm visit in a great location and as well to thank the staff and will plan on staying there again in the future. This is the best vale for money in the area!!

Mercurio from Tucson, AZ
The item looks great but the nature of it's contruction has some issues. The holders for the glasses and wine are not consistent. Some of the bottles clear the glasses holder and others hit or block the glasses. If it is not balanced correctly it can tip when taking out both bottles and glasses. I decided to keep it for appearance and I was able to make it work for my home but not sure I would recommend it. When I tried to bend the glass holder to clear the bottle rack the weld broke.

PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — When it erupted more than a thousand years ago, a huge volcano on the border between North Korea and China left eastern Asia covered in ash. It was one of the biggest eruptions in human history.
But the volcano remains almost a complete mystery to foreign scientists, who haven't been able to conduct on-site studies — until recently.
Two British scientists have now made three visits to the volcano, studying it in a joint project with North Korea. They say they may soon be able to reveal some of the secrets of Mount Paektu — including its likelihood of erupting again.
The scientists have been collecting seismic data. And they've been studying rocks that were ejected in the eruption that took place sometime in the 10th century.
%@AP Links
225-a-17-(James Hammond, Natural Environment Research Council, research fellow, Imperial College London, in AP interview)-"of the volcano"-James Hammond, a scientist with the group called the Natural Environment Research Council, says because the volcano has been off-limits until now, it's important to do comprehensive on-site research. ((Paektu is pronounced PEHK'-too)) (3 Sep 2014)
APPHOTO TOK704: In this Aug. 21, 2014 photo, James Hammond, right, a seismologist at Imperial College in London, collects data from a seismometer on Mount Paektu in North Korea. Fresh off their third visit to the mountain, two British scientists, Hammond and Clive Oppenheimer, a professor of Volcanology at Cambridge University, studying the mountain in an unprecedented joint project with North Korea say details of the "millennium eruption" and data that could help predict the volcano's likelihood of erupting again may finally be coming to light.

APPHOTO TOK703: In this Wednesday, June 18, 2014 photo, a North Korean national television station camera crew records the scenery from the peak of Mt. Paektu in North Korea's Ryanggang province. More than a thousand years ago, a huge volcano straddling the border between North Korea and China was the site of one of the biggest eruptions in human history, blanketing eastern Asia in its ash. But unlike other major volcanos around the world, the remote and politically sensitive Mount Paektu remains almost a complete mystery to foreign scientists who have – until recently – been unable to conduct on-site studies.

The third part of the popular and comprehensive series Photoshop CS6 One-on-One follows industry pro Deke McClelland as he plunges into the inner workings of Adobe Photoshop. He shows how to adjust your color, interface, and performance settings to get the best out of your images and the most out of Photoshop, and explores the power of Smart Objects, Shadows/Highlights, and Curves for making subtle, nondestructive adjustments. The course dives into Camera Raw to experiment with the editing toolset there, and returns to Photoshop to discuss toning, blur, and blend modes. Deke also teaches tried-and-true methods for sharpening details and reducing noise, as well as creating quick and accurate selections with Quick Mask, Color Range, and Refine Edge commands.
The topic of this chapter is blend modes. In case you haven't heard of them before, a blend mode uses some basic math -- plus, times, minus, really easy stuff -- to blend the active layer with the ones below. I know; I'm already making it sound hard, but it's not. You know opacity, right? If you set a layer to, say, 75% opacity, that means you see 75% of it, and 25% of the layers below. So simple. Blend modes just use different formulas.
Let's say that you multiply a layer. That means you take the luminance levels from the active layer, and multiply them by those of the layers below, which means you put this layer on top of this one, set the arm wrestlers to Multiply, and bang! The active layer becomes a transparent overlay resting on top of, and thereby darkening, the layer below. Once you get it, you'll use it all the time. Seriously, you and multiply are going to be best friends in just a few movies.
But don't get too chummy, because you know, there are more than 25 of these things. You don't need to know all of them; maybe a dozen are of any use. But just for safety's sake, I'm going to show you every blend mode there is.

So I forgot about this until this morning, but that was good as now theres fun to be had.
After that it was an inning of strikes
Strike one, thought we were leaving at 9. Attendant said I didnt miss you by much.
So I'll catch up to you... heading to the shore right? About the mall it hit me that 40E wasn't anywhere near 47!
Cape May here I come via the parkway, no fun there strike3.
Visited the point, tower, and light house multiple times between 10:30 & 11:30 figuring I was ahead of you - strikeout.
Small town how hard can it be to find a church with bikers? Lots of churches, no bikers!
Feeling down maybe meandering home on unfamiliar backroads will cheer me up. I seen Tuckahoe & Estell Manor 2x each.
Did not feel like I was riding around in circles when doing it.
Thanks for getting me out for 205mi even if I missed the group.
Hope yaall had fun :-)

Sorry about all of that enormiss.
At the time you were down there we were trying to get one of our riders bikes fixed.
We were stuck on the side of Route 9 just north of 109 for at least an hour.
So you probably road right around us !!!
I'm glad you had a nice ride anyway !

Customary Photos: ....and Commentary !
The night before our ride a huge storm came sweeping across the United States like a giant xerox machine.
The storm cleared my area with plenty of time to meet my friend at the Atsion Ranger Station.
The roads were mostly dry, which amazed me.
We road to Buena and met up with only one other bike !
Seems that everyone else chickened out !!!
We headed out Route 40 and made a right onto Route 50.
We stopped in Tuckahoe to pick up another rider and his wife, so now there were 8 of us.
Took some back roads through Woodbine down to Dennis Township and picked up Route 47 South.
We get off of Route 47 and head down Route 9.
We get onto Route 109 and I do not see our new rider behind us.
We pull over and wait for them....
And wait for them.......
One of us goes back to look for them.
I get a call to come back about 3/4 mile.
There they sit on the side of the road with a good amount of tools out and working frantically !
We stand and talk, those of us who know nothing about motorcycle mechanics while he works on his bike.
Nothing seems to work.
He had just bought the bike and this was it's maiden run.
Or maiden breakdown !
He finally calls AAA and they come out and rescue them.
I didn't feel bad taking pictures because his wife was taking them too !
Anyway, they get situated.
And off they go.
Hoping to join us a little later after he could trouble shoot it better and put some parts on that he thought were bad.
So now it is 11:30 and several phone calls later.
So we head right for lunch.
We were only 1.5 miles from Calvary Chapel Cape May.
Our chefs.
They made us a great lunch.
We sat and talked and ate.
We had a great devotional from Pastor Dave from Psalm 46.
Thank you once again Dave.
So off we go to the Cape May Lighthouse.
Purple Martin bird houses to keep the bug population down.
The museum was open so we took a look around in there.
They had stuff inside and out.
Inside they had taxidermied animals from the area, Artifacts from as early as the 1700's, maps, data, pictures and of course souvenirs !
We took a walk down to the beach.
Or more like up and over the dunes on what we called "Cattle Chutes"
Off to the left was part of what is left of WWII Fort Miles gun batteries.
For some reason we thought there use to be two here.
I don't know what they would have done with the other one !!!
We have a nice chat with a cool breeze blowing and the sun hiding behind some clouds.
You can see how much sand had washed up on the ramp we were on and this old fence.
Most likely from Hurricane Sandy.
Then we head back to our bikes and get ready to leave.
While I take more pictures !
We head down to Cape May Point and see what is left of the Concrete Ship SS Atlantus.
The information sign was gone.
There were a lot of little crabs down by the water.
The Horseshoe Crabs were very young.
That is my boot at the bottom.
Then I have one more stop I want to make before we leave.
That is one of the Fire Control Towers for Fort Miles.
I had been here a couple of months before but did not see what was behind it.
The other unfortunate rider was not able to rejoin us.
We had a great time of fellowship on this ride,
even while being stranded on the side of the road.
Thanks to all who made it out.
And off we went on a nice long journey home.
Fading off.........

Good stuff Steve. Went down there on as much dirt as I could find in my TNJT 2011 ride. One day I'll make it on the street bike. I'd like to get out on one of these rides this season too.

The Third Saturday of May.
Someone among us wants to visit the White Castle Hamburger Joint in Toms River.
So we decided to make that our May ride.
Meet at the Buena WAWA as usual around 8:15 and fill your gas tank.
Leave the Parking Lot at 8:30.
First destination will be the Casino Pier in Seaside Heights and view the Roller Coaster that fell into the Atlantic Ocean during Hurricane Sandy. Not that we want to be devastation seekers, but more to see something that has become an icon from that devastating storm and to always remember what happened.
I plan on taking some nice back roads up to Seaside Heights.
From there we will go to lunch at the White Castle.
They are still there and open. They seem to be one of the last ones still open for business anywhere near us.
If hamburgers are not your thing, don't worry, there are several other food places close by. There is a Subway just a block away. A Boston Market and a Perkins across the street and a WAWA just up from those. So there are plenty of other options, but not all are easy to get to and back to the White Castle. If you want to eat somewhere else look it up before we leave so you know where you are going and how to get back to us, and to make sure those places are still open.
I had planned on stopping at Whitesbog Village on the way home.
They were New Jersey's largest Cranberry producer in the early 1900's and they also cultivated the first Blueberry Bushes for commercial use.
Looking at our schedule I will probably not stop here because it will put us home too late.
So, from Toms River we will probably just take Route 70 to Route 206 to Route 54 to Buena.
Total Trip is 150 Miles.
Emails reminders will be sent to those who gave us your Email address.
See you bright and early in a week and a half!

Here are the pictures from out last ride.
A small group once again.
And all of our wives abandoned us.
They had other things to do.
We took back roads from Buena to Chatsworth. Mostly CR 563. Then Savoy Blvd. to Whiting, and whatever other names it changes into on the way. Then CR 530 to Toms River to Huddy Park.
The first thing you see is this replica of a Revolutionary Fort with a sad history.
There was a boat show going on on the other side of the Toms River.
Yes, there is actually a Toms River river!
The bridge is dedicated to the original settler of Toms River, which is where the Tom came from.
They were still setting up tents and this one had a familiar name on it.
So back to the other side where our bikes are parked.
We crossed the parking lot to see a giant 15 ton anchor that is located in this park and I passed this bumper sticker.
Which I thought was pretty funny !
OK, it's not very nice, but funny none the less!
There is also a replica paddle boat here that is used for parties.
They were putting food on it while we were there.
There was a torpedo across the way.
Then off to our Lunch Destination.
We made fun of the small hamburgers.
We had to harass the guy who dreamed up this destination !
We thought this urge came pretty fast !!!
This is what happens if you eat here too much !
So I knew the South Jersey Tag-O-Rama Tag was near here.
It was only two miles and they guys humored me.
We got it and headed to Seaside Heights to see the Rollercoaster in the Atlantic Ocean.
I saw a few of my friends.
These are from Casino Amusement Pier where the Rollercoaster sat on their pier for years.
This is where the Rollercoaster sat for just over six months.
We knew they were going to take it away the week before we were going to be here, but we decided to have a look anyway.
It sat directly ahead in the ocean.
They were fixing up the boardwalk and replacing the rides.
They even repaved the road along the beach in front of Casino Pier.
Then back to the bikes and head out.
These pictures are from my ride earlier this year.
The area closest to Seaside Heights was pretty well fixed and cleaned up.
The areas further north were still a bit of a shambles with houses still where they were after the storm in October of 2012.
We took 35 up to 88 in Point Pleasant Beach and took that over to 70 and headed South. Hooked up with Rotue 206 which turns into Route 54 into Buena.
We hit a few rain sprinkles along the way, but it never lasted long.
And we got home safe and dry.

The Third Saturday of June .
Sorry to take so long to post this.
Our next ride was scheduled for next Saturday June 15, 2013.
I have been contemplating where to go with all of the other things going on at our
church and it being the day before Fathers Day I decided to do something off the cuff.
My current plan is to ride out to Whitesbog Village near Pemberton.
There are some nice roads out there and I know a decent diner we can eat at.
So, let's meet at the Buena WAWA and leave at 8:30 as usual and have a nice ride.
If we get a better idea we might do that instead.
Like I said, off the cuff !
Leave the Parking Lot at 8:30.

The NEW Plan for Saturday
The two of us that I know are going decided to take a ride to Lancaster, PA.
Now don't get upset if you have other plans.
We will for sure be riding out there again.
So, we will leave Buena at 8:30 as usual.
Ride some nice back roads, once we get past the Delaware Memorial Bridge and Newark, DE.
I am looking for a decent place to have lunch.
Perhaps Millers, or Good N' Plenty or some other "Family" Style Buffet place.
Around 190 mile round trip, and probably more if we sight see.
But it may be crowded on a Saturday and also being the day before Fathers Day.
I can guarantee no one will be on the roads I planned coming back.
Until we hit Route 1 !

Several bomb shelters in Ashdod were ordered to remove signs indicating they are for men only.
In response to a complaint lodged by Knesset member Stav Shaffir, the Rabbinical Courts Administration ordered the removal of the signs, the Times of Israel reported.
"The thought that women who sought a secure refuge from rocket fire and encountered a closed door just because they were women is unthinkable," Shaffir said in a news release issued Thursday.
In her complaint to Religious Services Minister Naftali Bennett and Deputy Attorney General Dina Zilber, Shaffir demanded they ensure that gender segregation not be practiced with regard to bomb shelters or secure rooms anywhere in Israel.
The Times of Israel said Hebrew media outlets were reporting that the Rabbinical Courts Administration blamed the signs on "the private actions of an employee without the knowledge of the management," and said it would take disciplinary steps against those involved.
"In practice, gender segregation was not implemented, nor will it be implemented when [it comes to] entering bomb shelters," the administration said.

An allergic reaction to medicine can cause hives.
They appear as raised, red, itchy bumps (wheals) of different shapes and sizes,
with defined red margins and pale centers. Hives may appear and then disappear
at random and seem to move from place to place on the skin.
An allergic reaction to medicine can
also cause a rash that looks like measles. See the picture above for the areas most

Notes from Underground
By Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky; Fyodor Dostoyevsky; LuAnn Walther (Editor)

Dostoevsky's most revolutionary novel, Notes from Underground marks the dividing line between nineteenth- and twentieth-century fiction, and between the visions of self each century embodied. One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator is a former official who has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence. In full retreat from society, he scrawls a passionate, obsessive, self-contradictory narrative that serves as a devastating attack on social utopianism and an assertion of man's essentially irrational nature.
Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, whose Dostoevsky translations have become the standard, give us a brilliantly faithful edition of this classic novel, conveying all the tragedy and tormented comedy of the original.
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
Fyodor Dostoyevsky was a Russian novelist, short story writer and essayist whose literary works explored human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual context of nineteenth-century Russia. A student of the the Nikolayev Military Engineering Institute, Dostoyevsky initially worked as an engineer, but began translating books to earn extra money. The publication of his first novel, Poor Folk, allowed him to join St. Petersburg s literary circles. A prolific writer, Dostoyevsky is best known for work from the latter part of his career, including the classic novels Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov. Dostoyevsky s influence extends to authors as diverse as Anton Chekhov, James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, and Jean-Paul Sartre, among many others. He died in 1881.

I know this won't have any effect on gameplay but how many hope we are able to customize facial features, haircuts after character creation (i.e. barbershop) and which gestures we use through some future update? For example, wanting an Awoken Titan to be able to use the Exo salute gesture or human Warlock being able to use the Awoken bow gesture? Who else feels the same way?
kingofthejuice9/6/2014 7:07:06 PM PermalinkI would love this. In fact, I am choosing my main character's race based solely on the dance I want them to have. I would prefer a different race if I knew I could customize emotes. I would pay extra for more variety of emotes and character hair/tattoo editor, it adds a good but of replay value for me.
Lateralus9/6/2014 4:40:07 PM PermalinkHas anything related to this question been confirmed yet? Guess we won't know until launch day
BoxoffireEdited by Boxoffire: 8/25/2014 6:08:54 PM PermalinkI like how each have different things. But honestly I'm jelly as -blam!- at the Exo's salute. And I want it on my human.
FalconStrike988/25/2014 6:06:24 PM PermalinkI had very similar thoughts. Which is why it's included in one of my polls. :)

This week, voters will be deciding the fate of proposed tax increases by the state of Colorado and by the cities of Denver, Boulder and Littleton on the sales of recreational marijuana.
The purposes of the taxes are to cover expenses for licensing, regulation, enforcement of rules and laws, the prevention of diversion of legal marijuana to those under 21, and costs for educating people on health and public safety impacts of marijuana use. Of particular concern regarding public safety is expanding public awareness of the level of increased impairment caused from using marijuana and alcohol at the same time.
Any substance that alters the mind and is foreign to the human body is going to affect our health. Marijuana, of course, is no exception. However, to what extent we don't really know because of the lack of long-term research on the effects. (There is very little U.S.-based medical and scientific research on marijuana, but quite a bit has been done in other countries.)
During the debates on Amendment 64, the consideration of enacting enabling legislation, and on rule-making for the legal sale of marijuana, we have heard the argument time and again that marijuana is a "gateway" drug. Actually, if one wants to identify a substance as a gateway drug, then place the label on either nicotine or alcohol, or both.
However, during more than seven decades of "reefer madness" nonsense sponsored by the government, Americans have been essentially told the use of marijuana will make you crazy and lead one to an untimely death from a heroin overdose.
Colorado has 1.6 million baby boomers who grew up hearing this, many of whom tried marijuana, and neither they nor their friends ended up as heroin addicts. But what they and succeeding generations have come away with is not believing government claims about the dangers of marijuana.
There is a growing attitude among younger people, in particular, that marijuana is a "safe" drug. "Safer" is probably more apt when compared to drugs that are still illegal in Colorado, as well as the most popular legal drug, alcohol.
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, a drunken driver is 11 times more likely to be involved in a fatal auto accident compared to a sober driver, while a stoned driver is twice as likely, compared to a non-impaired driver, according to a February 2012 article in the British Medical Journal. Research also indicates that drivers who are high from using marijuana, and only marijuana, have an ability to compensate for their altered state, usually by driving more slowly.
Studies also indicate that the effects of THC, the psychoactive substance in marijuana, will wear off somewhere between 90 minutes and three hours after last consumption.
However, the real danger from driving stoned comes when a person uses marijuana and also drinks. Combining THC and alcohol is a dangerous mix that increases impairment, and can pose challenges in the prosecution for such impairment, according to a 2009 article in the American Journal on Addiction.
While THC can compound the effects of illegal drugs and prescription painkillers, among other drugs, mixing it with alcohol is particularly worrisome because alcohol is legal and widely consumed, with most people unfamiliar with any serious consequences when both are consumed, even in moderation. (Of course, people have different ideas of just what "moderation" may be.)
The pharmacodynamic profiles of alcohol and THC are not the same. This means they act very differently on the brain. When combined, the impairing effects are synergistic, the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. We cannot apply the "alcohol model" of impairment and expect it to address the potential "driving-stoned" problem. An individual's tolerance and ability to compensate for the effects of alcohol and cannabis are vastly different.
The American Journal on Addictions article explicitly warns that "combining marijuana and alcohol ... results in impairment even at doses which would be insignificant were they of either drug alone" and that "the risk from driving under the influence of both alcohol and cannabis is greater than the risk of driving under the influence of either alone."
In other words, people can be dangerously impaired if they drive after using both marijuana and alcohol, and possibly be under the established limits for both THC and alcohol impairment.
How serious of a problem might this become? Let's play around with the numbers of people who are projected to be using marijuana recreationally in Colorado during 2014. The Colorado State University Futures Center has projected that 642,772 Coloradans will consume an average of 3.53 ounces of marijuana during 2014. It is generally accepted that an ounce of marijuana will yield 30 joints. So, if 642,772 Coloradans each roll 30 joints from their 3.53 ounces of marijuana, producing 105 joints, we can expect about 67.5 million joints to be rolled and smoked in 2014. And, assuming each time a person smokes a joint, he or she will get stoned, we'll also have approximately 67.5 million instances of people getting high during 2014.
However, this projection of 67.5 million "highs" is possibly somewhat inaccurate. A joint is an inefficient THC delivery system; and with higher levels of THC in today's product, one might need not smoke an entire joint, or its equivalent through alternative delivery methods, to get stoned. Such alternatives include pipes, bongs, vaporizers of all kinds, including "e-joints" for vaporizing special extractions, and a wide range of edibles. It is probable that one joint will actually equate to more than one "high."
With, at a minimum, 67.5 million instances of Coloradans and visitors getting stoned in 2014, how many of them will get into a vehicle and drive? Will people smoke before driving to movies or concerts? Will they wait to find an appropriate place upon arrival at the venue (keeping in mind that it's illegal to smoke marijuana in public, although consuming an edible would be quite discreet)? Or, will they use a designated driver?
It would be naive to assume that we don't already have people driving our streets under the influence of THC and that the numbers haven't increased since the boom in the availability of medicinal marijuana since 2009. While it's difficult to quantify the exact numbers, the projections provided by the Futures Center gives us a "guesstimate" of what we may be facing.
Stoned driving is obviously one of the real dangers that Colorado and Denver need to educate people about.
In Colorado, we are at the domestic and international forefront of legal access to marijuana. We have the opportunity to be the world model for intelligent and progressive thinking regarding the use of legal marijuana, especially regarding driving stoned. We have the opportunity to address this potentially serious issue calmly and head-on. But for efforts to be effective, credible and realistic, they must be based on evidence and real science. Using scare tactics will serve no purpose beyond hindering sensible and wise thought.
The challenge is whether or not government in Colorado is capable of doing effective messaging, or if it will it be just more "reefer madness" nonsense.
Former state Sen. Bob Hagedorn served 16 years in the legislature (1993-2008). He sponsored legislation creating the Persistent Drunk Driving Act in 1999, major provisions of which have been adopted by 38 states.

WEDNESDAY, May 8 (HealthDay News) -- When a health insurer told obese people they could either pay 20 percent more for coverage or start exercising, most of them decided to get active, according to a new study.
More than 6,500 obese people insured by Blue Care Network enrolled in a pedometer-based program to obtain insurance discounts, and the majority met their fitness goals, researchers found.
"Wellness interventions like this clearly hold significant promise for encouraging physical activity among adults who are obese," said senior author Dr. Caroline Richardson, an assistant professor in the department of family medicine at the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Michigan Health System and Stanford University.
After one year, nearly 97 percent of participants in the walking program had met or exceeded the average goal of 5,000 steps a day. This included people who disagreed with the financial incentives and said the program was "coercive."
For some families, the out-of-pocket cost of failing to meet the insurer's fitness requirements was nearly $2,000 more a year. People with medical conditions were exempt if they had a waiver from a doctor, according to the study, which was published May 8 in the journal Translational Behavioral Medicine.
Obesity is linked to serious health conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, which contribute to high medical and insurance costs in the United States.
Richardson said insurers are likely to offer more of these incentive programs in the future.
"There are ethical debates around the idea of forcing someone to be personally responsible for health care costs related to not exercising, but we expect to see more of these approaches to financially motivate healthier behaviors," Richardson said in a university news release.

Hi All,
Already bought the game and downloaded it. I haven't played any beta's yet, but am currently researching about the game and what class i want to play. Really likeing whay i'm reading about Dungeons and PvP so far. It's great that everyone will have the same level in PvP and similar gear, but is it just possible to challenge someone to a Duel when your out and about in the world? I'd imagine people would want to do this as you won't be getting the chance to show off your epic loot in Battlegrounds so it would still be nice to destroy someone with your great gear in a friendly duel.

I don't think dueling is going to be in the game. quick access to all pvp will be though.

Only in death, does duty end.
This is not WoW. Of course there will be no duel - what is the purpose?
Why not instant join WvWvW instead? As level 1?

gw2wiki says dueling won't be in at release, but may be added later.
Keep in mind that dueling is a potential source of trouble.
Yeah, it's fun to spar with friends, but there's a specific category of players who don't see the bigger picture, and as soon as they lose a duel with their <class x> against a <class y>, they will rush on the forums and ask for nerfs. They don't understand that PvP in a game with 8 classes is not balanced for 1 vs 1, even though in GW2 this effect is strongly reduced by the fact that player's skill plays a big role. And this is also where the second source of trouble comes from... some of those unskilled players will definitely not blame themself for losing, but only the other person's class, and more nerf whining will ensue.

Yeah, i dislike the lack of dueling, but i agree with what they're doing by not including it.
Basically, people are inheritantly corrupt, and if you let them show it, they will show their "dark side". There is no denial to that - thats why worst jackasses and griefers gather in games with FFA PVP and full loot - like EVE online.
ArenaNet understands that the only way to make a positive community is to bring forth positive in people. When you're in the world (not in instanced sPVP or WvWvW)
- no way of stealing monsters
- no way of stealing gathering nodes
- no way of stealing quest items
- no way of griefing other player
- no way of killing other player
- no way of hurting other player
- no way of even comparing your "epeen" to that of the other player
Also :
- downed mechanic works to make you acustomed to "lending a hand", "helping a fallen teammate", or "saving someone from death", reviving people gives achievements and points!
- all quests being public makes it so that each additional player is always welcome, unike other games where you are stealing quest mobs/chests/objects/items
- shared gathering nodes means you'll actually tell people where they can get some loot, geel inclined to share, not rush there to get it first or have to somehow unwillingly share it if more than one gatherer is present
That makes it so there is no compettion, no rivalry amongst the people who play one server. On the countrary, this involves you in helping each other.
Now, WvWvW, the "open world pvp" of GW2, only strengthens that. It makes it so that you have to cooperate with your server guilds, not rival them. There is no point being "NO1 guild on the realm" - if you brag too much and aint cooperating, your world will SUCK at WvWvW. There is no names in WvWvW - all you see are people dressed the same (same color) and named teh same so you cannot grief even in Open World PVP! You cant hunt down exact player and you cant know if you are killed over and over again by same or different player.
This is very clever. Very very very clever move by Anet. However, yes, sacrifices have been made in order for it to work,
Yes, its cool to have FFA PVP and full loot and duels and ganking and stuff - it makes this "risk-reward" that makes game more exciting. But unfortunately, this leads to overall decrease in humanity and increase of hostility.
In GW2, you've spent your time in the world lending a helping hand, saving people, constantly on the lookout if someone needs your help
In Darkdall you've spent your time in the world ganking people or being ganked, constantly on the lookout if someone wants to backstab you or if you can backstab someone.
Guess which game influences people in which way.

Its bs that dueling causes shouts of nerfs. All classes should be balanced or youll end up with a imbalanced game which no one will like. Actually dueling is a good way to gauge imbalance

There is no need for players to try and gauge pvp imbalance through duels. There is not enough information provided in duels to do this and too much depends on individual player skill.
The only reason to add duels is if enough players want it. Obviously Anet does not think enough players want it to put it in at launch.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

That is sadly only nice theory, impossible to apply in reality unless you have only one class in your game.
A multi class game will always have a kind of "rock - paper - scissor" balance type for the different classes. It's simply impossible to make two classes with different abilities, equal. Hell, even (e.g.) two warriors in GW2 can be vastly different depending on which weapons and utility skills they use. Totally imaginary example here, but a same warrior may have trouble with engineers while he easily fights guardians, and by simply changing weapons, have it easier with engineers but then having a hard time with guardians. And the specs of the engineers and guardians matter too, of course.
So no, all classes should NOT be balanced. The game would be very dull and boring if they were.
PS: this kind of remark is actually quite hillarious coming from someone saying that WoW's PvP requires more skill than GW2's... when WoW is obviously following a "rock - paper - scissor" balancing system for its classes, as Blizzard themself said.

i understand if you believe strongly what you say, but i've seen no evidence that it is hard fact.

Hecne the whole idea of combo fields that can change the outcome of the fight. Generally MMOs avoid 1v1 balance due to how many possible build syou have per class.
Should a build that is mostly orientated on group support be able to win against a build that's all about single target direct damage? How about AoE build? How about control builds? How do you balance one against another without affecting their group role?

Of course? I did not know that and I have to admit that to me it is kind of surprising. If I told you that there will be a new MMO released tomorrow, you would automatically expect it not to allow duels?
"What is the purpose?"
I believe there are more reasons why to have duel with someone, such as training for 1v1 situations which you may find yourself in when doing BGs or even WvWvW. Or maybe you just want to compare your skills as e.g. a Necromancer with other Necromancer to see who is more skilled player. Maybe you have problems killing certain class, so you can go outside of city and practice duels against that class until you master some sort of strategy.
"Why not join WvWvW instead?"
Probably because duels and WvWvW do not have much in common. Maybe just that they are both pvp elements of the game. It is like telling someone who wants to play tennis, to go play football instead.

Btw, class balance != 1v1 balance. You are supposed to lose or win 1v1's randomly - game should not be balanced for 1v1's, but for teamplay. Go ask for 1v1 balance in DOTA or LOL and see how far you get :P
Therefore, dueling proves nothing about balance and doesnt help achieve balance. Even if same class, one can be built to share buffs/debuffs between team/enemy, an aoe build, other can be built to compliment their team - support build, one can be single target - 1v1 build, so its obvious latter will win vs former, but it doesnt mean aoe or support builds are absolete - on the countrary, they might be imbalanced in mass world pvp if you make them viable in 1v1. Etc.
So dueing indeed more hampers balance than brings it, if people define balance as equal chance on equal skill level to win a 1v1 duel.

Well, it doesn't take a genius to realize that unless two classes have exactly the same skills (or similar skills doing exactly the same effect), they won't be balanced. Ever. And that's just the tip of the iceberg, it doesn't include stuff like traits, talents, weapons, etc... so the "perfect" 1 vs 1 balance in a MMORPG is simply impossible.
You want perfect 1 vs 1 balance between characters? Quake III Arena. All have the same "stats", all have access to the same weapons. All are the same, actually.
I strongly believe in what I say because it's not opinion, it's fact ;-)

so yes, i will concede that if balance is all things being mirrored exactly then it is indeed a fact that for two classes to be balanced they must be the same class.
My "strange place" is 17+ years of MMORPG playing. If two characters don't have exactly the same skills, there will automatically be one which is advantaged over the other in a 1 vs 1 fight. And in a game with as various options possible as GW2 (or WoW), it's obvious a specific class/build will have it easier against some other specific classes/builds and have it harder against some other specific classes/builds.
As I said, it's not genius level thinking - just simple facts. If you want perfect balance in 1 vs 1 fights, you must give the two opponents exactly the same tools to fight.
Originally posted by Ramanadjinn
No he is actually quite right. When it comes to 1 vs 1 balancing as people like to break it down into - as long as one class or build has something that another doesnt, no matter how insignificant, players will cry out that they have advantage. So the only way to 'balance' is to homogenise the classes, which results in a very boring game.
WoW is a perfect example of this. It started out with a nice diversity in classes, but now every single Tank spec has exactly the same abilities with the exact same effects and cooldowns. There is still some diversity in healing and DPS, but that is getting whittled away too. That is what 1 vs 1 balancing does.
I would rather games be more like Vanguard or Everquest 1, where different classes are better at doing different things. So there is no 'this is the best class for everything' scenario.
To me dueling as in open world dueling that you see in many mmos is just not a good idea with how guild wars is planned to work really, even though being able to duel or start a duel for the right to gather or gain ownership of thigns in open world pve would be interesting it is against alot of what gw2 is seeking in pve. Yet if they made Duels more like a comptition that is held in the main cities, has prizes, rewards, and you actually sign up for the right to compete in it in a on vs one grouping it would be interesting an allow alot of players to enjoy it. The issue is still that you would have many using the fact of their class as well as weapon layout being weak, and so needing to be buffed while other class/layouts needing to be nerfed. Although i think you will still see this even in wvwvw, pve, and such as players hate feling weaker or at a disadvantage compared to antoher player normally.

North Palm Beach County news briefs: August 15
DiVosta goes back
to the drawing board
DiVosta Homes representatives heard three hours of comments Aug. 6 from the Jupiter Town Council regarding land use changes it wants on the old Parcel 19 near Florida's Turnpike. After the marathon discussion, DiVosta Homes decided to pull its request for the time being. "We're going to go back with an amended request," said landscape architect George Gentile, who represents Otto "Buzz" DiVosta's company. "From what we heard, the town council didn't have a problem with the modification of the land use, but with the trip count that would be generated. And the residents in the area who spoke didn't want the gas station, which had been recommended by the town for that part of the property. If we modify the uses, such as taking out the gas station, reducing the number of units, or the uses of the property on the commercial site, that will all affect the number of trips generated by this property," Gentile said. Jupiter Director of Planning and Zoning John Sickler said the town was concerned about the developer introducing more single family homes, and services the town would have to provide these residents in what he called a "remote area" of Jupiter. Town staff had recommended denial of the land use changes. "The property is next to I-95 and the turnpike, and I think there is an opportunity for different types of uses, other than single family," Sickler said. "The land use plan was designated for commercial and different uses. The layout was designed around a mix of uses, including a hotel with another golf course that would tie in with the Toll Brothers' golf course that has three holes and a clubhouse on the property north of Indiantown Road, where this parcel is located." Gentile said he needs to meet with DiVosta Homes to see what revisions will be made but, "I would think that Mr. DiVosta would want us to get back to the town as soon as we can."

Equestrian Trail
extension to open
Horseback riders in the Jupiter Farms area soon will have a more direct access to the seven miles of equestrian trails in Riverbend Park, when Palm Beach County officially opens a trail extension from Jupiter Farms Road into the park on Aug. 17. "It definitely helps us, and we — the Northeast Everglades Trail Association — lobbied for the extension," said Jupiter Farms resident Susan Kennedy. "Before the extension, association members would have to travel out to Indiantown Road to get into the park. We met last summer with former commissioner Karen Marcus and the park people and found this solution." A brief ceremony will take place at 9 a.m. on Aug. 17.
Insurance rates
could come down
Residents in Jupiter Farms could see their insurance rates go down, depending on how their insurance companies calculate the fire department's response to fires. The Insurance Services Office recently checked out Palm Beach County Fire Rescue and examined everything from firefighter training to response times to areas without hydrants, like Jupiter Farms, according to the county's fire safety specialist, David Sauls. "They looked at absolutely every facet of the fire department," Sauls said. "And as a result, our Public Protection Classification has now gone from a 9 to a 3. The best PPC rating is a 1 and the worst is a 10 so this is great, considering the huge rural areas we cover, and it is a testament to our firefighters, their training and equipment." Firefighters in rural areas must carry water with them, and be able to pump water at a specific rate to quench a fire. "People in Jupiter Farms should contact their insurance agencies to see if they use the ISO's rating as one of the main indicators. To us it is an important tool, and it shows we're doing something right, but some insurance companies say that if you don't have a hydrant within 1,000 feet, you're still a nine." Sauls said the insurance premium savings to Jupiter Farms and other rural residents could be $50 up to several thousand dollars.
Law enforcement
St. Laurent's widow
to get death benefit
Jupiter Police Chief Frank Kitzerow asked the Jupiter Town Council for a one-time line of duty death benefit for Brenda St. Laurent, widow of Jupiter Officer Bruce St. Laurent, who was killed while participating in a presidential motorcade on Sept. 9, 2012. Although, according to the Florida State statute if law enforcement officers are accidentally killed while engaged in the performance of their lawful duties, the municipality should pay $50,000, there was a Consumer Price Index adjustment made. And the death benefit approved by Jupiter Town Council last week amounted to $63,843.86.

DUBLIN, Nov. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8k9rtc/pointofdelivery) has announced the addition of the "Point-of-Delivery Drug Reconstitution Systems to 2017" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769)
Growth in the number of injectable drugs supplied in solid form for reconstitution prior to administration is being driven by the increase in drugs based on biological NCEs. These drugs are typically unstable at ambient temperatures and to preserve their shelf life must be either stored at low temperature (the so-call 'cold chain') or processed into a form that will preserve their pharmacological efficacy until they reach their therapeutic destination.
Because the cost of transporting and storing drugs using refrigeration is expensive and requires constant temperature monitoring to insure that the drug has not been exposed to environmental conditions that render unsafe for use as a therapeutic product, technologies such as lyophilization are becoming more prevalent.
The packaging and technologies developed and marketed for safe and reliable reconstitution at the point of administration are benefiting from this market trend. This report examines commercial drug reconstitution devices and systems and their impact on the injectable drug delivery sector.
