Great place. Shauna and Ryan are great hosts. Very responsive and everything was just as described.Dan2017-02-14T00:00:00Z
Ryan& Shauna have give us a wonderful stay in their house with full privacy and conveniences. They also had been very helpful when we stay with them. We would love to visit them again.XIAOGANG2017-02-07T00:00:00Z
O apt é muito limpo, o bairro é muito tranquilo e calmo, Ryan forneceu tudo o que é necessário no apt. Foi uma grande experiência para mim e meu marido. E também o apt está perto de Mediterian e comida Halal.Sahar2017-01-02T00:00:00Z
Lo que es una hermosa casa. Muy tranquilo y privado, pero a poca distancia a pie de pintorescas tiendas y buenos restaurantes con un fácil en coche hasta el centro o más compras. Me alojaría aquí de nuevo! Además, la cama era muy cómoda con una buena conexión a Internet fuerte. El aparcamiento en la calle era muy seguro y un buen beneficio añadido. Gracias por proporcionar los pequeños extras como el coche buen café, crema y baño suministros como pasta de dientes, champú y másSherry2017-03-13T00:00:00Z
Ryan & Shauna are great hosts. The neighborhood is quiet and the house was stocked with all amenities. I would definitely recommend this place.Srinivasan2017-04-28T00:00:00Z
Charming and cozy apartment. Perfect for two. Nicely decorated. Shopping and restaurants not too far away.Pat2017-02-05T00:00:00Z
Ryan & Shauna were wonderful. This was a great first Airbnb stay for my boyfriend and I! Would definitely look into staying here again if back in Buffalo.Ashley2017-04-06T00:00:00Z
Staying in Buffalo was great! The apartment is well equipped and Ryan and Shauna help wherever they can. Check-in and check-out went very well and the hosts were very flexible! I can only recommend to anyone and Shauna Ryan.Daniel2016-12-30T00:00:00Z

We arrived late and Neil was very understanding of this. What a beautiful and comfortable home! The pictures don't do it justice. Snacks were available in the fridge as well. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Neil!David2017-05-14T00:00:00Z
Neil's place was way more than what we expected. Unfortunately, we didn't end up spending the night and had to head back home an hour after arriving due to an emergency. I must say though, Neil provided many refreshments and had a fridge full of fruits, milk, sodas and juices for our use. The place was extremely clean and the beds we very comfortable. He even had travel size toothpaste and tooth brushes in case we forgot ours. Again, that is way more than I've ever seen at any airbnb. We wish we could have stayed longer! Simply a lovely apartment with great lighting in a perfect area close to restaurants and shopping. Will definitely be coming back!Sara2017-05-07T00:00:00Z
This is the first time I booked a place through AirBNB so I was a little skeptical but the place truly amazed me! The house is in a nice and quiet locality just 20 mins drive away from Niagara Falls. The house was clean and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen filled with goodies :) Neil was a generous host and my family really appreciated the way he had set-up the place for us. All in all I loved the stay (wish I could stay longer). If anyone is planning a trip to Niagara with 3 people or less, this is the place to stay!!Arunima2017-05-24T00:00:00Z
Cute historical house. Centrally located! Great experience!Jennifer2017-05-05T00:00:00Z
Great host , did me a big favor & let me check in late after a 7 hour ride after work . Great location around a lot of mini marts & tourist attractions . Thanks again for the treats & refreshments . I know where I'll be staying whenever I'm in BuffaloFelix2017-04-29T00:00:00Z
We enjoyed this well appointed space for our brief overnight stay. Everything was neat and welcoming with all the amenities and lots of space. Neil was very accommodating to our late night arrival. Highly recommended!Niffer2017-05-20T00:00:00Z
Neil's house is very clean and big. We have a great night spending here.心袁2017-05-15T00:00:00Z
In all honesty, this is one of the best places I have had in AirBnB. Absolutely love the owners, and if I could stay, I would definitely stay longer! I couldn't praise this place and the owners enough! I hope to remember this place in the future so that I can stay again!Paulman2017-05-16T00:00:00Z

James is very attentive and had some good recommendations. The place is clean, has a great balcony and the area was quiet.Nicholas2017-05-07T00:00:00Z
Greeted us on arrival and showed us around, really nice people.Guy2016-10-28T00:00:00Z
James and his family were away but he set us up with his helper, Zach, who bent over backwards to help us! We were there for a week during the hottest part of the summer and were surprised that there was no AC. Fans were provided and the windows are new with screens to keep insects away (zero bugs in the place). We left a day early and James worked quickly to get us a refund! It's a great, comfy apartment with ample room in a really cool area! If you're s foodie, stay here as it is behind an an amazing meat market and next to a ton of bars and restaurants within walking distance!Stella2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

She is a very nice hostess. It was very convenient to park at, easily accesible by car, and the room was nice and clean.Marcela2017-05-26T00:00:00Z
Whitney was super accommodating when it came to my travel issues (flight was delayed then cancelled in a connecting city). She made this ordeal so much easier on me with her great communication. The location is centralized - approx. 30 minutes or less from Niagara Falls one way and the airport the other. Will stay again when I'm back next year.manuela 2017-05-01T00:00:00Z
Except parking and clothes washing, everything is nice and perfect.Ping2016-09-28T00:00:00Z
Whitney is a friendly, accommodating host. Her apartment is in immaculate shape. It is located just outside of the "action" in a safe neighborhood with ample on-street parking. The layout is as follows: There is a large, available kitchen. The bathroom is clean and also available for use. There is a single, large bed in your room, which is situated next to her bedroom. I would highly recommend staying at Whitney's place on your trip to Buffalo!Brandon2017-02-25T00:00:00Z
Whitney has a lovely place in Buffalo. Everything is clean and well organized. Her place is really close to most restaurants, public transit and a plaza with everything you might need during your staying.Debora2017-01-07T00:00:00Z
This was my first Air BNB experience. I tried a few years back but it didn't work out because the host was booked up. Whitney was very understanding because we had a Category 4 Hurricane (Matthew) hit my home city of Orlando, Florida the night before I was to go to Buffalo (I ended up staying in an office at my job at Orlando VA Hospital for safety reasons). The airport was closed due to the severity of the weather and I had to delay my trip by one day. Surprisingly my changed flight was one of the first ones out of OIA after they opened back up on Saturday, 10/8! The pictures are very accurate and just what I expected. Her place is clean and quaint. Whitney lives in a centralized area of Buffalo so it is easy to get anywhere. As well I lived there for 20 years in the 80's and 90's so I didn't have any problem finding my way around. This is my third year of going to visit my son Patrick's gravesite as this was his home. The parking can be difficult. I would recommend Whitney and Air BNB to others based on my experience.Brenda2016-10-10T00:00:00Z
Whitney is a wonderful host, very warm and personable. She was understanding of my late arrival time the first night due to my traveling from out of state. The neighborhood is great and she's an excellent resource if you need tips on the local area. The space is clean and bright, perfect for what I needed during my transition for work. I highly recommend!!!Kimberly2016-10-19T00:00:00Z

Anthony & Lisa's place is fantastic. Clean, open, and bright in a beautiful and safe area in Kenmore. They were so kind enough even to leave me an Easter basket! I would highly recommend Anthony and Lisa's place to anyone who is looking to stay in Buffalo.Aaron2017-04-19T00:00:00Z
Very nice place. Had everything you could possibly need and was close to everything we needed. Anthony was a great host and was available to answer and help with any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again!Shawn2017-04-28T00:00:00Z
Anthony and Lisa were very helpful and accommodating. The place was lovely, cozy and well-stocked, perfect for a mini getaway. Highly recommended!Kristine2017-01-16T00:00:00Z
The place looks exactly like the pictures. I went during winter and it got really cold but the little fireplace they have made it so warm and toasty. The bed was super comfortable...they provided many sheets and many many pillows. The place was located in a good area. Easy access to supermarkets, pharmacies, little restaurants etc. Would highly recommend it to anyone.Yvés2017-03-25T00:00:00Z
The apartment was very neat and clean. Perfect size for two. Great location. It was easily accessible to everything in Buffalo. Nicely equipped kitchen although we were visiting family and had all our meals out if you were inclined to dine in you would most everything you need. Nice patio and backyard. We would definitely stay again when visiting.Deborah2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

We had a great experience staying at Bennett's place. The room is comfortable and the bathroom is right across from the bedroom. The house was very clean and we were able to use the kitchen to prepare ourselves some food for the day. Bennet also allowed me to drop off my U-haul trailer in the back so that was nice. Thank you for hosting us. Highly recommended.Anthony 2017-04-05T00:00:00Z
Bennet was very good host, I arrived during the week while he was at work, he stayed in communication with me. When I arrived, I stopped at a nearby restaurant and enjoyed some good food and before I was done, Ben contacted me and I was able to access the property. My initial impression was that the neighborhood was older but all of the properties looked well kept. The house is an older home and my room was upstairs, if you are tall (6'3" +) watch your head going up the steps. The room looks like he is still working on upgrading. However I will add that for the modest price that he is charging it is well worth the money. Ben, is a super friendly host, easy to talk to. He enjoys being a host, and meeting people. His place is a short bus ride or cab ride to downtown, its location makes it a good place to set up a base camp for exploring the Buffalo/ Niagara area. If it was summer, I would be concerned that the upstairs room could get pretty warm. Overall, I would stay with Ben again if I was in Buffalo.Gary2017-04-08T00:00:00Z

This host made staying here as easy as owning the property myself. Her quick and consise replying to questions and assistance during what became one of the most stressful travel weekends of the year made things so much easier and put me and my guest at ease regarding our lodging. The apt. was beautiful, close proximity to one of the nicest city parks you could hope to jog through in NY, tons of local restaurants and shops and incredibly comfortable inside. Any time you are in the Buffalo area you owe it to yourself to look this property up. I'll be back, every time!Tom2017-04-09T00:00:00Z
Spotless, welcoming and close to a lot of restaurants and stores. Would most definitely come back. Great place!Liviu2017-02-02T00:00:00Z

Great experience. Host was waiting for us when we arrived, gave us a tour of the place and answered all our questions to the best of their ability. They followed up with an email a few days later to make sure our stay was going smoothly. Location is a 30-40 minute walk to the UB South campus, and 20 minute walk to beautiful Delaware park and zoo.Abdulaziz2016-08-20T00:00:00Z
We didn't met Christine personally, but if we had questions we could write her all the time and she replied quickly. The apartment was lovely, cozy and clean. I recommend Christine's apartment to anyone who wants to travel to Buffalo. Thank you Christine!Laura-Ann2016-08-28T00:00:00Z

Karen was a fabulous hostess! Her house was lovely, charming and in a very quiet neighborhood. She made sure we felt relaxed and every morning provided coffee for me!

I would highly recommend to stay with Karen!Jessica2016-06-13T00:00:00Z
We stayed with Karen for 2 days. The house is in a very convenient location as we visited Niagara. The private entrance is an added facility as you can check in or check out at your convenience. Karen was very helpful in providing all that we wanted for our trip.. Her tips for our Niagara visit was of great help.. We would definitely stay again with Karen. Wonderful place and a wonderful host.Rashmi2016-05-31T00:00:00Z
YOU HAVE TO LOVE THIS HOUSE! This is my first time to come the USA and my first time to use Airbnb. I was suffering from jet lag so I was always tired and slept early, Karen tried her best to let me have a good rest. I think we talked a lot and had fun. Karen made me a delicious egg breakfast and used two morning to show me UB campus and her village. Funny thing is one of Karen's cats seem to like me. I will definitely visit you again and I hope you could make friend with my mom. I love Karen's house, I love Buffalo. Oops, I forgot to give you my tea haha.Peter2016-08-20T00:00:00Z

A Casa é ótima, muito bem localizada. A Nicole é fantástica sempre muito dedicada.Evelyn2017-04-21T00:00:00Z
Nicole's apartment in Buffalo was really great fitting the purposes of my trip. The apartment is very big, there were multiple rooms, but since I was traveling alone one bed was made and it was very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with the basics that would you need and was nice being able to make coffee and keep food in the refrigerator. Check in was very easy and simple and Nicole had great communication over the course my stay there which was very much appreciated. I would definitely recommend Nicole's apartment to anyone looking to stay in Buffalo. I would say the only improvements that could be made is an upgrade to the shower, was somewhat outdated and could use a new shower head. It was also a bit noisy, but that is because the apartment is located somewhat on the main drag through town. Overall, was a great stay and I would come again.Stephanie2017-03-02T00:00:00Z
Nicole's place is in a great location. She was great to deal with and things went smoothly. Would recommend her place if you're a family because of lots of space! Thanks!Tim2017-05-02T00:00:00Z
My friend and I enjoyed a wonderful one night stay at Nicole's place in Buffalo. Having never visited the area before, Nicole was extremely helpful in acquainting us with the area and offering suggestions in order to make our time in Buffalo well spent. In regards to Nicole's listing, it truly exceeded our expectations both in its location and the place itself. Everything was clean and neat with plenty of space to host a whole family comfortably if desired. The neighborhood was safe and we were able to find parking easily right across the street from the apartment.

I had business in Buffalo and needed a central location and something comfortable and clean. This place fit the bill perfectly. Frank and Linda were excellent hosts, greeting me at check in and showing me around. The bed is super comfy, the kitchen very functional (I used it often) and as an added bonus, they left plenty of snacks too. The off street parking was very accommodating and made for easy access day and night. I would highly recommend this place for your Buffalo trip whatever the reason, you won't be disappointed!Cheryl2017-01-29T00:00:00Z
The apartment is very comfortable. Linda and Frank have really put all the essentials you need. From soft towels, bottled water, and even some snacks ( always some chocolate!). It s a great place to have as your base when you are in the Buffalo area.Beverly2017-04-04T00:00:00Z

This place was perfect! We only stay in air bnb when we travel, and Linda's is my ideal kind of home- it's obviously a rental only, but feels so homey when you're there. Linda's communication beforehand was wonderful, especially since I was coming off a work trip and out of my element. She made sure the home was prepared for my toddlers. She left snacks and drinks for if we needed them. And the home was very centrally located to the Buffalo zoo, Niagara Falls, and anything else we needed. When we return to Buffalo again, we will surely try to stay here again.erin2017-05-13T00:00:00Z
If you're going to Buffalo, you definitely want Linda and Frank as your hosts. The apartment was so comfortable and cozy. They kept checking if everything was ok. The location is perfect.

This apartment was very comfortable and cozy, extremely clean and adorably decorated. Linda & Frank supplied everything needed to make it feel as if you were in your own home. The apartment is centrally located to everywhere we needed to get to. It's only about a 15 minute drive in either direction to the airport and city center, as well as about 20-25 minutes to Niagara Falls and less than a 2hr drive to Toronto. Communication with Linda was incredibly easy before and during our stay. If I'm ever in the Buffalo/Niagara area again, I would for certain book a stay here again.Claudette2017-05-22T00:00:00Z

A beautiful home with wonderful hosts! At this stage there is still no Uber in Buffalo (its due in the summer time) so I would hire a car from the airport rather than get cabs, as they are quite expensive.

We found the apartment to be very clean and well-maintained. Both the kitchen and living room are spacious. It was so nice finding every little thing just in the right place. Both Linda & Jonathan are wonderful hosts. They took care of every single thing very professionally and promptly. We made a good decision choosing their place to stay while visiting the Niagara Falls. I definitely recommend this place!!!Barkat2015-08-12T00:00:00Z
Linda was very easy to communicate with and let us check in as early as possible. When we arrived, she was there to greet us with some lemonade and give us local tips. I'd def recommend this place!Sharjeel2016-08-27T00:00:00Z
This is an awesome home, the neighborhood was nice and the location could not be any better. The apartment was just what the pictures showed it suited my family's needs perfectly. Linda and Jonathan were great and extremely helpful and willing to answer any of our questions. On our next trip to Buffalo we will definitely be staying there again.Robin2016-10-02T00:00:00Z
Linda and Jonathan are great hosts. The apt is roomy and clean and the location is great. It was an easy drive to the Falls and just blocks from the Zoo and the Martin House (Frank Lloyd Wright) museum complex. We visited all of three. Street parking was easy and always available.Terri2015-08-21T00:00:00Z

There was mad stuff I've never seen in this house ., everything was clean in the house ,Christ is my favorite host ..Babas2017-05-07T00:00:00Z
This was a wonderful apartment in a great area of the city. Restaurants, bars, and shops were all walkable, but it's off the main drag so the apartment was quiet at night. Parking was a breeze. Christopher was a great host. He wasn't around when we stayed, but made arrangements for his neighbor to help us. He was communicative and even left a personalized welcome note. I will definitely stay here again when I come back!Greg2017-05-22T00:00:00Z
The description of this first floor apartment is accurate. The decorating is clutter-free and is scrupulously clean. Chris, the host, is super friendly, hospitable, thoughtful and knowledgeable. He's thought of everything a guest could want, including games and coloring books for younger guests. He also makes himself available if you need him at any time. Excellent location -- can walk to hip Hertel Ave (a block away) with many restaurants, bars and shops. Is also a 10 minute walk to Delaware park, including the zoo. The apartment is on a rather busy street, but you can't hear the traffic from inside. Parking is on the street out front or on a side street, and is free. One of the best Airbnb's we've stayed in!Roberta2017-05-12T00:00:00Z
Absolutely loved staying here! Chris is an amazing host. My wife and I stayed here before we left for our honeymoon, and we had a great stay. The home is beautiful! Chris provided anything we needed - detergent, complimentary toiletries and a few snacks (including delicious cupcakes from a local bakery!) if you're thinking about staying here, definitely consider it!Ryan2017-05-09T00:00:00Z
My friends and I were in town for a wedding and we really enjoyed our stay at Christopher's place! The decorating was great, the place was very clean, and the beds and bedding were comfortable. Christopher lives in an upstairs apartment (with a completely separate entrance) and he was there to introduce himself and show us around when we checked in, which was nice, and he checked in via text later in the visit to make sure things were still going well. His communication was great throughout our experience. Additionally, he left drinks in the fridge and even had a hairdryer available, which was great because I forgot mine! Very thoughtful. It was a very good experience and I would for sure stay at The Parkerside again!Hailey2017-05-28T00:00:00Z

Lauren rocks. Her place is in a great location, just one block off of Hertel. She was the perfect mix for a host. Full of suggestions of places to go, if you needed that... Or would give you space and privacy if you needed that. I stayed with her for two weeks and she was great to hang out with and a very welcoming and flexible host. I highly recommend Lauren and her place.JASON2016-10-28T00:00:00Z

The Distance Education Accrediting Commission has the authority to establish and promulgate criteria for the evaluation and accreditation of distance education institutions. These criteria take the form of Accreditation Standards, Policies, and Procedures set forth in the DEAC Accreditation Handbook. The Accrediting Commission uses these criteria as it evaluates institutions and makes accreditation decisions. The criteria are under a continual and systematic review. Changes are made as appropriate and as required.
Persons, institutions and organizations with an interest in the Commission's accreditation standards and policies are invited to comment on Proposed Accreditation Standards, Policies and Procedures. and will be notified of the date for when any changes will be given final consideration by the Accrediting Commission. Interested persons, institutions, and organizations will be given at least 30 days to file written comments with the Executive Director of the Accrediting Commission.
The Accrediting Commission, after considering written comments, will conduct a further review of changes proposed to the Standards, Policies and Procedures. The Commission may adopt the changes to Accreditation Standards, Policies and Procedures as proposed, adopt with changes or modifications, defer action until further study and consideration is given, or discard the proposed changes altogether.
The DEAC is receiving an increasing volume of applications from institutions that are owned by parent corporations that establish multi-level subsidiary structures between the ultimate parent and the institution. DEAC is also receiving an increasing number of change of ownership applications and applications for initial accreditation from corporations located outside of the United States. When institutions are reviewed for financial soundness, these complex structures require a detailed review to fully evaluate financial stability of the parent entity and parent's ability to assure that the institution can meet its financial responsibilities while fulfilling its obligations to students. DEAC's Accreditation Standard XI.C. requires audited or reviewed parent/guarantor statements under United States GAAP.
The DEAC solicited comments from February 28, 2017 through April 28, 2017 on a proposed modification to its financial responsibility standards to strengthen the ability of the Accrediting Commission to obtain reliable documentation that financial resources are available from the parent company. The Commission will review the proposed modification at the June 2017 meeting.

Ryan Thomas doing another Panto - oh yes he is!
Since leaving Coronation Street as Jason Grimshaw, Ryan Thomas appeared in pantomine last year. And he's just signed up to do panto this Christmas too.
Last year, Ryan starred in Cinderella at Swindon. And this year, he's starring as Captain Hook in Peter Pan at Venue Cymru. The panto opens on Saturday, December 9.
Ryan Thomas first appeared as Jason Grimshaw in Corrie on Christmas Day 2000. It was a role he went on to play for more than 16 years. Best known for romantic entanglements, he left Weatherfield last year in an emotional departure following the death of his on-screen father, Tony.
When he left the show, Ryan Thomas told Inside Soap magazine that leaving the show has been the toughest decision he's had to make because it's been his life since he was 16 years old. It's all he knows, he said, and he wanted to experience more. Ryan was so impressed with Terence Maynard (the actor who played his father Tony) that it inspired him to leave the security of a long-term soap role and find out what the rest of the acting world has to offer.
Peter Pan opens on Saturday, December 9 at Venue Cymru.

I was thinking the same thing! I reckon we'll see Jason back eventually
- 17 June 2017 at 20:14
- Maricha said...
Is that why he left? He hasn't put much effort into it then. To make it in Hollywood it seems to me you have to go stay there to see and be seen for a couple of years unless they came looking for you.

- Maricha said...
I hope we do. I liked Jason. He had a good heart.
- 18 June 2017 at 10:46
Bizarre panto casting though. He's really not a Captain Hook.
- 18 June 2017 at 16:10
Has he had any acting roles at all since leaving Corrie?
- 18 June 2017 at 18:37
- just me said...
Normally, I am against making comments about the actors on Corrie Fan sites. But it really does baffle me, when some of them leave, in search of more fame? Isnt Corrie famous enough in the UK? I can't understand, why they can't simply ride that train for all it's worth! Surely the position of a main character who visits millions of living room tv's every night, is enough?

- Maricha said...
I wonder if it's a search for more fame as opposed to a chance to play different roles. Working on a soap like Corrie is as close to having a routine job as an actor can get but who grows up wanting to be an actor only to play a single role in all their career?
You might accept your fate if you at least get interesting storylines but that's seldom the case. Also, when Corrie salaries were published recently I was surprised at how low they are even for the stars, but for that they're expected to be there most of the time.
I wouldn't be surprised if a minor role in any Hollywood movie paid better and then you've got the rest of the year to do interesting independent movies that give you something to sink your teeth in.

Prior to 1882, all Catholics in and around Springfield attended the "old" Immaculate Conception Church on North Campbell an unclear source of dissatisfaction on the part of the northern residents of the parish prompted the people to write Bishop John Hogan in Kansas City requesting their own parish, although it was no more than 10 blocks to Immaculate Conception.
It took two separate petitions to sway Bishop Hogan to grant the request in 1882. The new church was named St. Mary, spelled "St. Marie." It was destroyed by a tornado on Nov. 5, 1883. The German and Irish parishioners rebuilt the church and renamed it Sacred Heart. Just before 1892, the Germans of the parish petitioned Bishop Hogan both for their own priest–one who could speak German–and for their own church. Their request was granted in the form of St. Joseph Church in Springfield.
Claretian Missionary Fathers accepted the pastoral responsibilities for Sacred Heart Parish in 1981. Today Sacred Heart welcomes a growing Hispanic population by scheduling Sunday Masses in Spanish and church events familiar to the Latino newcomers.
A collaborative ministry is the norm for this parish. The pastor, deacon, religious, and laity work well together to help the parish live its mission statement, which reads in part "… our purpose as a parish is to portray in our lives the teaching of Jesus Christ by giving compassion and reconciling love to all through our prayer and action." The sincere and friendly atmosphere, coupled with an entire renovation of the interior of the church, caused national recognition in the recently published book, Excellent Catholic Parishes: the Guide to Best Places and Practices (Paulist Press). Today only a few families live within walking distance of the church, but that does not inhibit the gathering of people from diverse backgrounds to worship together as proud parishioners of Sacred Heart Parish in Springfield, MO.

OxyContin Addiction and OxyContin Dependence Are Widespread, and Can Have Deadly Consequences
And the pain of coming off it can stop most people from trying…
If you're having a problem with OxyContin addiction, you're not alone.
- OxyContin dependency and OxyContin addictions are an epidemic sweeping the country.
- OxyContin, like heroin, oxycodone, Vicodin, methadone, hydrocodone and other opiates and opioids, is highly addictive.
- OxyContin is essentially "legal" heroin.
- Oxycodone, the active ingredient in OxyContin, is molecularly similar to and has similar effects to heroin in the body.
- Percodan and Percocet also contain oxycodone.
- OxyContin came on the market in the mid '90's.
- Misrepresentations to doctors about its addictive qualities by Purdue Pharma, its manufacturer, led to a $680 million fine and a guilty plea, but not until 2007.
- Within just a few years of its release, more prescriptions were being written for OxyContin than all other opiate painkillers combined.
- OxyContin addiction and abuse soon became the number one reason for admissions into many drug treatment centers.
- Hospital emergency room visits climbed to more than 30,000.

The Reasons Behind OxyContin Dependence and Addiction, and the Need for a Medically-Supervised Detox
- Endorphins are the body's natural painkillers and mood elevators.
- Heroin, morphine, methadone, Vicodin, hydrocodone, oxycodone, OxyContin and other opioids and opiates artificially increase the body's production of endorphins.
- After you've taken OxyContin for a while – supplying the body with an external source for stimulating endorphin production – the body tends to produce fewer and fewer endorphins on its own and, consequently, becomes physically dependent on the drug for the production of endorphins.
- Many move from OxyContin dependence to addiction—they crave the feeling that OxyContin gives them.
- Stop using OxyContin and, because there are insufficient endorphins produced by the body, the body undergoes severe and painful withdrawal symptoms.
- Almost no one can complete an OxyContin withdrawal on their own because of the pain.
OVERDOSE—A Very Dangerous Consequence in OxyContin Addiction and Dependency
- Overdose occurs when you take more of a drug than your body can handle.
- OxyContin overdose can occur with long-term use, as the body builds a tolerance to the drug, or it can occur when someone has only used OxyContin for a short time or takes just one OxyContin tablet for the first time.
- Medical examiners say many young people die from OxyContin overdose after taking only one OxyContin tablet.
- OxyContin overdose can have serious effects:
- Skeletal muscle flaccidity;
- Cold and clammy skin;
- Lowered blood pressure and heart rate;
- Coma;
- Severe respiratory distress;
- Death.
A Safe and More Comfortable Withdrawal Is the Best Option.

Kalinga War

|The Kalinga War
|Maurya Empire
|Commanders and leaders
|Total 70,700
60,000 infantry,[1]
|Casualties and losses
|200,000+ (Figures by Ashoka himself)[3][4]
(including civilians)
The Kalinga War (c. 262 – c. 261 BCE) was fought in India between the Maurya Empire under Ashoka and the state of Kalinga, an independent feudal kingdom located on the east coast, in the present-day state of Odisha (Orissa) and the north of Andhra Pradesh. The Kalinga War, the only major war Ashoka fought after his accession to the throne, included one of the largest and bloodiest battles in history[citation needed]. Though Kalinga put up a stiff resistance against the brutal strength of the Maurya Empire, they were overwhelmed. The bloodshed of this war is said to have prompted Ashoka to adopt Buddhism. He nevertheless incorporated Kalinga into the Maurya Empire.[5]
The main reasons for invading Kalinga were both political and economic. Kalinga was a prosperous region consisting of peaceful and artistically skilled people. Also known as the "Utkala",[6] they were the first from the region (present day India) who traveled offshore to the southeast for trade. For that reason, Kalinga had important ports and a powerful navy.[7] They had an open culture and used a uniform civil code.[8]
Since the time of Ashoka's father, King Bindusara, the Maurya Empire based in Magadha, pursued a policy of territorial expansion. Kalinga was under Magadha control during the Nanda rule,[9] but regained independence with the start of the rule of the Mauryas. That was considered a great setback for the traditional policy of territorial expansion of the Magadhan emperors, as Kalinga was next to Magadha. It was considered to be a loss of political prestige for the Mauryas, and imperative to reduce Kalinga to complete subjection again. Ashoka set himself to the task as soon as he felt he was securely established on the throne.[8]
Course of the war[edit]
As Ramesh Prasad Mohapatra remarks, "No war in the history of India as important either for its intensity or for its results as the Kalinga war of Ashoka. No wars in the annals of the human history has changed the heart of the victor from one of wanton cruelty to that of an exemplary piety as this one. From its fathomless womb the history of the world may find out only a few wars to its credit which may be equal to this war and not a single one that would be greater than this. The political history of mankind is really a history of wars and no war has ended with so successful a mission of the peace for the entire war-torn humanity as the war of Kalinga."[10] The war began in the 8th year of Ashoka's reign, probably in 261 BCE. Ashoka's grandfather Chandragupta had previously attempted to conquer Kalinga, but had been repulsed. After a bloody battle for the throne after Bindusara's death, Ashoka was successful, but the consequences of the savagery changed Ashoka's views on war and led him to pledge to never again wage a war of conquest.
Ashoka had seen the bloodshed with his own eyes and felt that he was the cause of the destruction. The whole area of Kalinga was plundered and destroyed. Some of Ashoka's later edicts state that about 100,000 people died on the Kalinga side and almost equal number of Ashoka's army, though legends among the Odia people (the present day descendants of Kalinga's natives) claim that these figures were highly exaggerated by Ashoka. As per the legends, Kalinga Armies caused twice the amount of destruction they received. Thousands of men and women were deported. After seeing this, Ashoka was filled with sorrow and remorse.[citation needed]
Ashoka's response to the Kalinga War is recorded in the Edicts of Ashoka. The Kalinga War prompted Ashoka, already a non-engaged Buddhist, to devote the rest of his life to Ahimsa (non-violence) and to Dharma-Vijaya (victory through Dharma). Following the conquest of Kalinga, Ashoka ended the military expansion of the empire, and led the empire through more than 40 years of relative peace, harmony, and prosperity.[citation needed]
- "Beloved-of-the-Gods, King Priyadarsi, conquered the Kalingas eight years after his coronation. One hundred and fifty thousand were deported, one hundred thousand were killed and many more died (from other causes). After the Kalingas had been conquered, Beloved-of-the-Gods came to feel a strong inclination towards the Dharma, a love for the Dharma and for instruction in Dharma. Now Beloved-of-the-Gods feels deep remorse for having conquered the Kalingas.[citation needed]
According to oral histories, a woman approached him and said, "Your actions have taken from me my father, husband, and son. Now what will I have left to live for?" Moved by these words, it is said, that he accepted/adopted Buddhism, and vowed to never take life again.[citation needed]

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/203,238, filed Feb. 28, 1994, and now abandoned.
This invention relates to transducers, and more particularly, to an improved piezoelectric material detector.
It is known in the art, that photographic copying machines use powder-like toner material to copy images. In many machines using toner, a particularly troublesome characteristic is the unanticipated exhaustion of the toner supply. In many of these machines, the toner is kept in a refillable cartridge or chamber into which the powder toner refills are added. When the copier runs out of toner, it must be replenished.
Handling toner material often is unpleasant and troublesome, because it can be dirty and stain anything that it comes into contact with, including clothing, skin, paper and the like. For this reason, determining the toner level in a copier without having to come into contact with it is a desirable feature.
Piezoelectric devices to sense a level of toner material in a copier have been used in the past. A piezoelectric device such as the one shown in FIG. 1, can be made to vibrate at a predetermined frequency, the vibrations of which are dampened or suppressed when the level of powder or toner is such that the powder surrounds or otherwise comes into contact with the piezoelectric vibrating element.
A problem with prior art toner level sensors 2, such as the one shown in FIG. 1, is that false indications are common because the powder material tends to cake up in proximity to the sensor 6. The sensor 6 has relatively wide protective fins 4 around the piezoelectric element 6, which quite often cause the toner material to accumulate on and around the piezoelectric element 6, even though the level of the toner in the copier's canister has dropped by its use.
Since the piezoelectric elements 6 are very sensitive and delicate devices, they are susceptible to damage during installation or other handling. For this reason, fins or veins 4 are provided to protect the piezoelectric elements from damage during both their installation and use over time. The structure and arrangement for these fins has been found to be a source of invalid toner level detection, because of the accumulation of toner material between the fins 4 and the piezoelectric element 6.
A piezoelectric based material sensor that avoids the problems of toner accumulation on or around the piezoelectric element and minimizes false readings, would be an improvement over the art.
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a prior art piezoelectric toner sensor.
FIG. 2 shows a representative schematic diagram of an improved piezoelectric material detector in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of an improved transducer structure in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the transducer structure in FIG. 3 rotated 180�, in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 provides a schematic diagram of an improved piezoelectric material detector 10. It is particularly adapted for use in connection with photocopying machines and the like, which use powder material, such as toner stored in a reservoir for eventual use. Alternatively, the detector 10 can be used and has application in detecting powdered materials, aggregates, sand, flour, liquids and other substances and materials, as should be understood by those skilled in the art.
The material detector 10, includes a transducer structure 12 for providing a predetermined vibration activity; a reset circuit 30 for minimizing false readings coupled to the transducer structure 12; a driver 50 for causing the transducer structure 12 to vibrate, coupled to the transducer; and a detector 68 for detecting a predetermined threshold vibration activity below which is indicative of a presence of a material, coupled to the transducer structure 12, whereby the presence or absence of a material is determinable.
In a preferred embodiment, the oscillator IC 32 is a dual timer integrated circuit with suitable components, such as capacitors and resistors, etc. providing an output signal sweeping from 2-4 kHz, to excite a natural resonance of the transducer structure 12. The oscillator IC 32 is part number MC3456, and is available from Motorola.
More particularly, the driver 50 can include an oscillator used to excite or modulate the transducer structure 12. The oscillator circuit 52 comprises resistors 54, 55 and 56, and transistor 58. The oscillator circuit 52 will nominally oscillate a cantilevered transducer or piezoelectric element, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, at 2300 Hz in free air. The frequency and displacement of the transducer will be affected by the presence of solid particles in contact with a portion of the transducer structure 12 (probe 100 in FIGS. 3 and 4).
The detector circuit 68 in FIG. 2 includes a capacitor 72 and first and second diodes 74 and 76 for providing filtering and rectification of the oscillating signal. The detector circuit 68 provides a voltage that switches the open collector transistor at an output port 90.
A third resistor 80, fourth resistor 82 and capacitor 83 define a noise filter 70 for filtering the output of the detector circuit 68. The filtered signal from filter 70 provides a substantially DC voltage to the Darlington pair 84. The Darlington pair 84 includes transistors 86 and 88, resistors 87 and 89 and an output line 90. The output line 90 can be coupled to a suitable indicator 92. The indicator could be a volt meter, CRT monitor, or the like, for suitably indicating whether or not the material detector detected material, indicating that the reservoir is full or empty, respectively. The resistor 94 is a pull up resistor, for example, which can be utilized to determine whether the vibrations of the transducer structure 12 have been dampened by the presence of powder (or other similar materials) in contact with the transducer structure 12.
In one application, a container is filled with a material, such as a toner powder, and a portion of the transducer structure 12 is suitably inserted into the container. If the container is substantially filled with material, the vibration of the transducer structure 12 will be dampened, and the signal at output line 90 will be at a predetermined level indicating the presence of a powder. Thus, the container does not need to be filled. Alternatively, when a portion (probe 100) of the transducer structure 12 does not have material in proximity thereto, the output line 90 will have a predetermined signal, such as a low signal. This signal is fed to the indicator 92 so that a user will be alerted to the need to fill the container or reservoir with powder, for example.
As should be understood by those skilled in the art, the reset circuit 30 and oscillator circuit 52, can each be suitably switched on and off independently by any appropriate switching devices.
In a preferred embodiment, a microprocessor 98 suitably cycles the reset circuit 30 on for a predetermined period and thereafter suitably switches the detector circuit 68 on for a predetermined period of time for improved accuracy and minimizing false readings. More particularly, when the reset circuit 30 is cycled on a predetermined DC signal is connected to the oscillator IC 32, through line 118, to vigorously vibrate, clear and reset probe 100 for a predetermined period of time, such as about 5 seconds. Thereafter, the reset circuit 30 is shut off and the detector circuit 68 is actuated.
In the reset mode, the microprocessor switches off power to the oscillator 52 as well as the gate of the FET 98. The FET 98 switches to a high impedance state effectively blocking current from the reset circuit 30 connected at the FET source to the detector circuit 68 connected at the FET drain, that could damage the Darlington pair 84. During reset, the oscillator 32 switches transistor 36 so that DC current through coil 42 is chopped and the voltage rises as the field collapses pumping current at a high voltage through line 44 to the transducer input 48. The frequency of the oscillator 32 is swept through resonance causing vigorous motion that shakes off caked powder in proximity to probe 100.
After the reset circuit is shut off, the microprocessor applies a DC voltage to the oscillator circuit 52 through line 122, and current passes to the gate of the FET 98, switching it to a low impedance state. Current can now pass through resistor 56 to the FET drain, to the source, and to the transducer input 48 of the transducer structure 12. If there is no powder present around the transducer structure 12, it will readily bend due to the piezoelectric effect. This bending is sensed at the feed back electrode 51 by virtue of the reciprocal nature of piezoelectric. The feedback current can be made to be out of phase with the driver current. It is fed to the base of transistor 58 through resistor 55, causing the transistor 58 to conduct, and pulling down the collector voltage and reducing the current flow to the transducer input 48. This causes the transducer structure 12 to bend back toward the straight position. Inertia causes the transducer structure 12 to continue past the neutral position, which reverses the feedback current. Since the gain of the transistor 58 is greater than one, the circuit 52 oscillates at the natural cantilever frequency of the transducer structure 12. This oscillation produces an AC current that passes through capacitor 72, and is doubled and rectified by diodes 74 and 76, to allow DC current to pass through filter circuit 70, and Darlington pair 84. The resistor 94 pulls down the voltage at line 90, which indicates a low powder situation. When powder is present, the oscillation is dampened or prevented from starting so there is no AC current through capacitor 72, and no DC current to the base of Darlington 84, so the Darlington stops conducting and the voltage at line 90 is pulled up through the resistor 94, indicating powder is present.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show perspective views of the probe 100 for detecting the presence of materials. The probe 100 is a component of the transducer structure 12. The probe 100 can be used for detecting the level of powdered toner in a photocopier or the like. This probe 100 also finds application in detecting other materials, such as sand, aggregates, food, liquid and the like.
The probe 100 has a base 102 that has at least a substantially planar top surface 104 from which a piezoelectric element extends and suitably projects into a container or reservoir holding the powder, the presence or absence of which is to be detected.
The piezoelectric element 106 is a lead-zirconite-titanate material. The piezoelectric element 106 comprises two substantially planar piezoelectric (or ceramic) element layers bonded to opposing surfaces of a planar brass center vein. Electrodes are bonded to the opposing planar surfaces. The piezoelectric material is polarized during its fabrication. When the polarization of the piezoelectric elements is properly accomplished, an electric field with a predetermined polarity impressed upon the electrodes and the brass center vein can cause the piezoelectric layers to deflect from side to side or upwardly and downwardly depending on the orientation of the field. In the figures shown, the piezoelectric layers deflect from side to side.
The piezoelectric element 106 is mounted to the base 102 and has a length extending from the top surface 104, the length of which is determined by the desired dimensions required. Surrounding the piezoelectric element 106 are a plurality of substantially columnar protective posts 108, each of which has a length that is preferably at least as long as the piezoelectric element 106. Each of these columnar protective posts 108, extends substantially orthogonally from the top surface 104 out the base 102, and are located at predetermined locations away from the piezoelectric element 106 so as to minimize the accumulation or caking of a material in proximity to the piezoelectric element 106 and any of the posts 108. Using columnar protective posts 108, contributes to preventing the accumulation of powdered material in and around the piezoelectric element 106. In one embodiment, the base 102 is constructed of a molded plastic, which is formed at the same time with the protective posts 108. It should be understood by those skilled in the art, that various modifications to the posts can be made without departing from the novel spirit and scope of this invention.
The piezoelectric element 106 has a first electrode 110 on one side and a second electrode 112 and feedback electrode 114 on the other, and connection lines 116, 118, 120 and 122. The line 116 is coupled to the output line 90 of the Darlington pair 84. The lines 118 and 122 provide DC supply voltages to the reset circuit 30 and detector circuit 68, respectively, switchable from the microprocessor 94. And, the line 120 is simply coupled to a common ground, in FIG. 2.
Advantageously, in a preferred embodiment, most of the circuit in FIG. 2 can be enclosed in the probe 100 housing itself, with the exception of the microprocessor 94 and indicator 92. However, it should be understood that in other embodiments it may be desirable to fully enclose all of the component parts (or circuitry) or conversely, keep the circuitry and probe 100 separated.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to certain preferred embodiments, numerous modifications and variations can be made by those skilled in the art, without departing from the novel spirit and scope of this invention.

How to Astral Project easily tonight (Astral Projection technique)
Visualization. It's a part of our everyday life. It might be through imagination or from a real life event that fulfills our realm of energy… gaining traction on our sense of projection. The first method is to deprive yourself of your regular sleep cycle. If you usually go to sleep at 1 a.m. — then tonight you should stay up until 4 a.m. and then fall asleep.
When 4 a.m. arrives, grab a novel or a book of some sort. Turn to a random page (synchronicity might play a part in this). Once you find a page, find a passage that relates to your current situation. Recite this passage up to 50 times… eventually finding yourself closing your eyes while interpreting the wordplay.
This is the book and passage I've chosen.
Reciting the passage should become a constant movement within the memory you're projecting. Once you have completed, you should get ready to quote the passage until you fall to sleep in your bed… etc.
This might help you astral project easily tonight.
