i am in methadone treatment and i am so afraid that i am going to screw up because stupid me took a lorazepam while i had a perscription all along for ativan. pls. tell me i'm okkkk

You shouls know better then to take benzodiazapines when taking methadone. The main thing is you're alright. I would think you will show postive for a benzo. You may lose some privileges but at least you didn't stop breathing while you slept. Be careful and hang in there... Dave
5 Aug 2009
Methadone and ANY benzos don't mix. They can cause you to stop breathing. Lots of methadone programs will not allow patients to continue if they are using benzos whether you have a script or not. It's freakin dangerous for you, they are just looking out for your interest and their liability giving you meds that could kill you. Get off the benzos or you'll likely be agressively tapered off the methadone for non-compliance. Good luck.

Is this piece of junk costing NASA millions?
Or is the R&D costing millions and does this thing itself cost a lot less to reproduce?
Just a minor question, of course...
The better question is why were there people standing in the path of destruction to begin with? 1 measly second into the video, it's clear that the wind is blowing towards the exact direction these people are casually hanging out on the road. If something was going to go wrong, it is 100% obvious that the equipment would have been dragged in that direction. Forgot incompetence or mistakes of the physical launch itself... why the hell were casual observers allowed to be so close? Utter stupidity if you ask me.

Polycom, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCM), the global leader in open standards-based unified communications and collaboration (UC&C), today announced the use of Polycom® RealPresence™ video solutions at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), enabling the University to provide a more interactive learning experience for its law students, including the ability to collaborate with overseas students in real-time.
The establishment of the new Centennial Campus at HKU gave the Faculty of Law a chance to review its existing technology and evaluate how advanced collaboration technologies such as video collaboration could enhance the learning experience and significantly improve engagement among students. The Centennial Campus aims to provide a learning environment that is truly fit for the 21st century and worthy of a world-class, research-led, international university. Following a rigorous selection process that focused on the stability, flexibility, quality and interoperability of the solutions, HKU chose to work with Polycom on the education enhancement project.
The delivery of Polycom's video conferencing solutions at HKU's Faculty of Law was completed in October 2012. Through the use of secure, high-definition video collaboration in classrooms and lecture halls, law students at HKU are able to enjoy simultaneous learning experiences, immediate exchange of ideas, and knowledge sharing between legal professionals and talent around the world.
"Previously, our students' performances in simulated court proceedings had to be recorded in one room, and played back simultaneously in another – a highly time-consuming and inefficient system," said Professor Johannes M.M. Chan, S.C. (Hon), Dean of the Faculty of Law at HKU. "With Polycom's solutions, we are now able to evaluate these recordings in one place so that students can receive immediate feedback on areas of improvement."
"Polycom RealPresence video solutions have also been useful for us outside the classroom. We have been able to streamline our admission and recruitment processes, as well as internal meetings, and have the ability to collaborate across geographic boundaries. We can now conduct interviews with international candidates 'face-to-face' in real-time and meetings are now more effective with the camera tracking feature that enables us to easily focus on speakers," added Professor Chan.
The Faculty of Law deployed Polycom's RealPresence™ Room Solutions HDX® 8000 and Polycom's EagleEye™ Director cameras to enhance the collaborative classroom environment with the ability to automatically locate and focus on active speakers. Polycom HDX Ceiling Microphones also deliver superior audio coverage and noise reduction. The complete solution is powered by the Polycom® RealPresence™ Platform, connecting the video classrooms into a seamless video collaboration network around the world.
"Polycom's vision of collaborative education includes bridging teachers, instructors, students and content providers around the world to enhance and improve the learning experience," said Michael Alp, President, Polycom Asia Pacific. Through our partnership with HKU, students and academics are experiencing greater benefits through real-time visual interactions. I am delighted that Polycom is playing such as a vital role in nurturing talent from the University of Hong Kong's Faculty of Law for the future good of society."
About The University of Hong Kong
Established in 1911, the University of Hong Kong is the territory's oldest institute of higher learning. Over the past century, the University has committed itself to creating knowledge, providing education, and serving society. It has grown with Hong Kong and generations of our graduates have helped shape the city from which the university takes its name. Today, HKU is internationally recognized as a leading research-led comprehensive university, with frontier research endeavors and scholarly achievements that have won it worldwide acclaim.

When building large, cloud-based applications that operate at a high scale, it's important to maintain a high availability and resilience to failures. In order to do that, you must be tolerant of failures, even in light of failures in other areas of your application. "Fly two mistakes high" is an old adage in the radio control airplane hobby. It means, fly high enough so that if you make a mistake, you can continue flying with room to still make mistakes. In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Lee...

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

BRPD: City worker stole tractor
BATON ROUGE - Police arrested a city-parish worker Tuesday in Baton Rouge after they said he drove off with a brand-new tractor and hid it in the woods.
Detectives arrested Watson Williams III, 34, of Baton Rouge on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle.
"The tractor was loaded onto a trailer and stolen," said David Guillory, Department of Public Works director. "I take tax dollars seriously. We're paid with tax dollars. Equipment we buy is used with tax dollars."
Investigators said on Sept. 20, Williams went to the City Parish Central Garage where he worked and drove the new tractor, worth around $45,000, off the property. He then came back later to where the tractor was parked and loaded it on a trailer, driving it out to family property in Wilson where he hid it in the woods.
Police said on Nov. 8 they were told by the East Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office that some hunters had found the tractor, which still had the city parish tags on it.
Officers booked Williams into the parish jail Tuesday afternoon. Police are also looking at another suspect in this case.

"When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor -- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money." ~ Ayn Rand

It might have become the world's race, but the Melbourne Cup is a success story for the unheralded West Australian breeders Trevor and Terrie Delroy.
Their colours will be carried by Ethiopia over the Flemington two miles today, while a rival Zabeelionaire was raised on Wyadup Valley Farm.
"I have known Trevor since his school days and he has always loved stayers," Terrie Delroy said of her husband. "It is his passion, he is always on the computer looking things up. I go to all the yearlings sales with him and have learned a lot about it but he is the driving force.''
The success of Ethiopia and Zabeelionaire in the Australian and South Australian derbies delivered the Delroys their greatest season and the Melbourne Cup is a bonus.
"Trevor has always been a Derby and Oaks man, he is a bit traditional like that, so to win the two derbies was great for him," Terrie said. "The Melbourne Cup is wonderful but I think he would put it behind the derbies. But having said that, if Ethiopia and Zabeelionaire are the first two across the line, I think it would change pretty quickly."
Considering that 18 of the Melbourne Cup runners started their lives in Europe, and only Ethiopia and Niwot are Australian bred in the field, it is remarkable achievement by the Delroys to have two runners come from their farm. "This is very exciting and we didn't expect it,'' Terrie said. "Just doing that parade was fun and Trevor has gone to the call of the card. "We bred two Derby winners this year and that is unusual in itself but to have two in the Melbourne Cup is amazing."
In a commercial world, the Delroys decided to sell the Zabeel colt out of Kisumu, which would become the South Australian Derby winner and Melbourne Cup runner. "We sold Zabeelionaire because a Zabeel out of the mare was proven and we thought we could sell him for a reasonable return," she said. "We tend to keep the fillies and we have his full sister, Gondokoro, that is in the Oaks on Thursday, so it is a big week for us.
"However, if we put Ethiopia in the ring we would have not that much for him. He was by an unproven sire at that time, Helenus, out of a mare which was undefinite unproven, so we kept him and he won us a Derby."
Ethiopia was sent to Pat Carey and he was able to plot a course to Randwick by his fourth start, where he won the Australian Derby as a maiden.
Four runs into his second preparation, he is at Flemington on Melbourne Cup day after running a gutsy fourth in the Cox Plate at his last start.
''I've got to put this into perspective,'' Carey said earlier this week. ''He could be a rare type of horse. We see lots of stayers come and go, but horses with his scope out of his first preparation, coming into this race ... you only get 'x' amount of chances to showcase this type of horse and it's usually on big tracks in big races.
''He's such a big-striding horse, once he gets on to the big, open stretches, only then does it properly allow you to see the true ability and class of the horse.
''He came through a good, hard, tough run in the Cox Plate exceptionally well.
''He's a very natural stayer who, in my opinion, will be suited by the big stretches at Flemington.
''Two miles is an unknown for any horse, but if ever a horse looked like he was going to get two miles, it's Ethiopia.''
Internationals have been a feature of the Melbourne Cup for some years, but never before has the Australian breeding industry had such a small input into Australia's most famous race.
Of the 24 horses that are sent out today, only two were bred in Australia: Niwot and Ethiopia. Of this pair, Ethiopia is the only true blue Aussie as he is by an Australian sire Helenus out of Australian-bred broodmare Shona while Niwot is by champion Irish stallion Galileo out of Kiwi mare Too Darn Hot.
Here is a snapshot of how these two came to be:
He was bred by Stephen and Anne Flynn of Mudgee, who paid A$40,000 for his dam Too Darn Hot in New Zealand.
Niwot was sold for A$200,000 at the 2006 Inglis Easter Yearling Sales.
He had eight siblings of which four were unraced. Best performed was Royal Academy gelding Ashworth, which won four races and earned A$82,550.
A winner of nine races and with earnings of almost A$1.2 million, his dam Too Darn Hot was a 2400-metre listed winner of the Tatt's Cup in Sydney in 1997.
Too Darn Hot died in March this year at the age of 19.
He was bred by Trevor Delroy's Wyadup Valley Farm in West Australia and was not offered for sale.
Ethiopia has two full siblings but neither have made it to the racetrack.
Delroy's Wyadup Farm also bred Melbourne Cup chance Zabeelionaire, who was sold for A$250,000 at the 2009 Sydney Easter Sales.
Ethiopia's dam Shona failed to earn prizemoney in four starts. Her third dam Valencia is a group 1 winning sister of group 1 winning sire Vice Regal.
A winner of just one race, last season's ATC Derby at Randwick, he has already earned more than A$1.1 million in stakes from just seven starts.

I consider myself an absurdist - at every possible turn, I will say or do something that completely turns my image or the situation on its head. I will crack wise on even the most simple of things, to the point where even I'd admit that it's a little childish. But I can't be serious all the time, can I?
I also believe in (gasp) honesty. Not the never lie kind of honesty, though I rarely find the need to lie - the truth is usually far more fun. I mean the actually talk about how you feel and think kind of honesty. If I don't like you, I will tell you so and why. If you do something stupid, I will point it out. I always expect the same in return - I've found that as a society, we've rejected that level of openness, relegated it to the realm of the nonsensically 'unmanly'. Because bottling things up and then wondering why you hate your partner is what being a man is all about.
Warning - the following paints me as an extreme nerd. For the love of all that isn't shit, don't leap to conclusions. I'm not that terrible.
I am a 3d modeler for a game modification project called Freeworlds: Tides of War. This is where my sci-fi nerdiness shines through pretty strongly. I lead the team, and on the side design and create 3d models of warships and such for the mod, which are then put into the game and used in lieu of the original game content. If you like Star Wars, go take a look -
I also make a mean diavolo.
Cane. Yes, I need it. No, it's not a fashion statement. Sure, it's 'cool'. But then you don't have to deal with the bum leg and the thrown out shoulder. So what, maybe I'm bitter.
Seriously, I had this one guy (friend of a friend) ask me to borrow it. I was like 'ok, sure, wtf.' We were at a bar, by the by. So there I am, and I notice him limping around. Fucker starts hitting on women trying to get sympathy sex with my cane. Fukken... I don't even know about people anymore. And why the hell I hadn't thought of that before hand...
As for music, my tastes wildly vary. I'm largely into metal genres. Now, before you click away from the page, hear me out. Metal has a side to it that few people are willing to get to know. Yes, it can be loud and abrasive, aggressive and violent. But there is a potential for beauty like no other form of music I've come across. The soaring heights of bands like Polyphia and Slice the Cake, the melodic hooks of Periphery, the apocalyptic symphonies of Septicflesh, the unrelenting grooves of After the Burial... all of these things paint waves of emotion and experience that I can just fall into and drift away on.
It should be little surprise that I also have a taste for some classical composers like Bela Bartok and Berlioz. Marche au Supplice is a masterpiece.
(oh, and I'm loathe to say this, it seems to turn a lot of people off... I love Star Trek. Was my first love. I am, and ever shall be a fan)
Film wise? I've seen a lot. I have a taste for horrible films, z-grade cinema, and the like. Truly terrible stuff. If you've never seen anything reviewed by The Cinema Snob, check out his stuff. He turned me onto a portion of film I never knew existed. And also Caligula. So much Caligula.
I love the Pythons, and anything that falls in the absurdist vein - A Fish Called Wanda, Brazil, Being John Malkovich, etc.
I also have a soft spot for over the top action. The first RED film was so self aware and such a caricature of 80s action... it's delicious.
A Computer with 3d Modelling and Animation Software
...aside from basic needs like food and drink, that pretty much covers it.
But come on, who DOESNT sing along to System of a Down?
Of which I already have in spades.

These are not stories that forces the reader to dig deep for symbolism and didacticism. Each is accessible, but each also presents a universal truth that somehow, someway, burrows its way straight into the reader's own mind and heart. This reader kept pausing and thinking, "But how did he KNOW that? How an he possibly be so empathetic and get it so darn RIGHT?"
There's the at-loose-ends professor with a one hopeful chance, who finally finds the courage to give back as much as is dished out to her. The hunters in the snow who stand up to a bully. The American in Rome who feels a strange connection with the gypsy who picked his pocket. A night in question, where filial connections are explored. A first love that never stops haunting the now successful man.
Many of these stories are ordinary occurrences that rise to the extraordinary. Many involve regular folks who gain the authenticity to truly become themselves...or to discover the meaning behind their lives and their actions. I know I will not soon forget many of these characters, who in ten or fifteen pages, solidly come to life.
For anyone who wants to explore the human condition -- our cowardice, our selfishness, our dreams, our connectiveness -- I urge you to read Tobias Wolff. He's the real thing.
Mr.Read more ›
So every time I end one of the brilliant stories in this collection I think: "How does Mr Wolff do it, how can he make such masterly stories with the help of such a clean-cut choice of words and terms? And conversations and settings?
But then I give it up; Tim O'Brien is right: this phenomenon cannot be explained. And I? I simply go on reading these great stories."
Never before have I come across a prominent writer who was publishing new stories and simultaneously re-editing previously published works. Revising already published work struck me as going overboard on perfectionism, and I questioned the appropriateness of tampering with what was already printed for a wide audience.
Personally, I appreciate an artist's early works (with whatever "flaws"). They serve a valuable function by allowing new writers and serious readers the opportunity to follow the growth of a favorite writer. Original works are part of the process of publishing and they should be preserved rather than altered in light of the writer's heightened skills. For most readers this probably makes no difference, but personally, I hope it doesn't become common practice. Sharing that information at the opening of this volume demonstates both respect for readers and admirable ethics.
Wolff has the uncanny ability to slip inside the heads of his characters and weave dialogue, traits, and surroundings that feels so authentic that the reader accepts his fictional beings as real people. The wide range of settings and situations from which his stories spring distinguishes him among modern short story writers. In addition, the sensitivity with which he draws both male and female characters is unique. It is remarkable how he intuits female emotional triggers so accurately.Read more ›

Wanting to leave the ex behind and actually walking away are two separate things...
It's about the time that you should be leaving, but you don't. You give me that look that makes my stomach seize and grief catch in my throat, a coal-like lump of regret. I remember being able to love you easily, I remember how swiftly a look like that might have won me over and in that split-second I'm wrong, maybe you're not such a loser.

James Chavez allegedly left loaded gun in 4-year old's backpack, then sent her to kindergarten
Earlier today, we told you about a gun found in a kindergartener's backpack in Lakewood. And it hadn't been brought to school for show and tell.
Now, more details: The person who allegedly left the gun in this spot is James Chavez, 27. The gun was loaded -- and the little girl unwittingly packing heat is just four-years old.
This information comes courtesy of Lakewood Police Department spokesman Steve Davis, who shares the events that took place at Molholm Elementary School.
"The teacher indicated to us that she was getting some of the kids' belongings together for the end of the school day, and she found this weapon in the backpack of the four-year-old child," Davis says.

Both Chavez and the girl's grandmother were contacted by the school, and after their arrival, Davis believes they were initially unaware that LPD personnel were also on the scene. Under police questioning, "Mr. Chavez indicated to us that he had placed the gun in her backpack earlier in the morning and forgot it was there."
According to Chavez, he had a loaded gun on hand "because he'd been the victim of a shooting sometime in the past and carried it for protection," Davis goes on. "But why it was placed in a four-year-old's backpack, I have no idea. I certainly can't think of a good reason. It was a tragedy waiting to happen, and luckily it did not."
Chavez was subsequently booked on charges of child abuse, reckless endangerment and bringing a loaded weapon onto school property -- although the specifics of that could change depending upon the determination of the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office.
Davis adds that as far as his officers could tell, the four-year old had no idea she had a gun in her backpack. Which turned out to be a very good thing.

Amazing Code Breaking, Problem Solving Ofsted Maths Lesson!
I created this code breaking maths lesson for an Ofsted observation. The children thoroughly enjoyed it and had so much fun (whilst still learning). The children are told that they have been selected by the local police to solve a crime. Unfortunately, all of the money from the school office has been stolen and an artist impression of the suspects has been provided. The children must crack the secret police codes to elimate the innocent suspects (cross them off) and reveal the final two suspects. Once this has been completed the last clue is placed on the IWB. Children get a reward for helping the police! I have differentiated the 4 ways questions (HIPPO - the highest, MOUSE - the second highest, HA - third highest, LA - lowest) but they could be adapted to any year group! I have also included the lesson plan and PowerPoint to help clarify the task. Enjoy! 1st answer = MAN 2nd answer = HAT 3rd answer = BEARD 4th answer = GLASSES 5th answer = MOUSTACHE 6th answer = GINER 2 SUSPECTS LEFT = Kenny and Eric THIEF IS = KENNY *PLEASE NOTE I HAVE ADDED 2 ADDITIONAL DIFFERENTIATED SHEETS AND A POWERPOINT*

Where does talent come from, and how does it grow?
New research has revealed that myelin, once considered an inert form of insulation for brain cells, may be the holy grail of acquiring skill. Journalist Daniel Coyle spent years investigating talent hotbeds, interviewing world-class practitioners (top soccer players, violinists, fighter, pilots, artists, and bank robbers) and neuroscientists. In clear, accessible language, he presents a solid strategy for skill acquisition - in athletics, fine arts, languages, science or math - that can be successfully applied through a person's entire lifespan.
©2009 Daniel Coyle; (P)2009 HighBridge Company
"I only wish I'd never before used the words 'breakthrough' or 'breathtaking' or 'magisterial' or 'stunning achievement' or 'your world will never be the same after you read this book.' Then I could be using them for the first and only time as I describe my reaction to Daniel Coyle's The Talent Code." (Tom Peters)
"Great book! A great look at why we excel. A book every person should read."
Great insight into how deep focused practice makes greatness!
This is a book for students, parents, athletes, performers, and everyone else on the planet!
"Solid listen"
To the point, doesn't drone on and on. Great performance, superb information, 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
I found this book fascinating, informative, an easy listen and influential in all aspects of my life. I have used material from this book for my own practice as a musician as well as in teaching and communicating to others. I feel I have much more patience as a result of what I have learned from this book, both for myself and others because of what I now understand about the physical process involved in the act of learning.
Thank you Daniel for taking the time to share this knowledge with us. I have enjoyed your book immensely.
The concepts in this content are eye opening and awakening. I recommend this to anybody who is interested in improving their performance in anything they are focusing on.
What a great message put in very simple terms. It will help you become a better parent than a coach.

Loved it. Very easy read from beginning to end. Great read for anyone. We are all teachers right?
"Great read for parents of athletes"
This book was recommended to me by my daughter's Junior Olympic swimming coach. Took me forever to read but did the Audible version and finished in 2 days! Loved the book. Highly recommend
"Such an amazing book!"
The Talent Code definitely would rank on top of my 3 best audiobooks so far.
This is a must read for whoever is interested in talent development or basic understanding of neuroscience.
