Does a Drug Taper Off Help before Detox?
When an addict is ready to stop using drugs, one of the first things they must do is to detox. During detox, an addict, under the support of a medical staff, completely stops using and allows the dangerous drugs to leave their system.
It is important that this process is done with the help of a doctor because many drugs carry with them withdrawal symptoms that are very uncomfortable and even dangerous. The discomfort caused by the detox process is often so difficult that an addict may return to using in order to stop the painful sensations they are experiencing.
Some recovering addicts may chose to undergo what is known as "tapering" before they detox from a drug. Tapering essentially consists of taking lower and lower doses of a drug before entering detox.
This is particularly popular with drugs like opiates, which carry some of the most severe withdrawal symptoms. Is this an effective means of detoxing? Some medical professionals and recovering addicts say that it is.
The Benefits of Tapering
Drugs like opiates take a very strong hold of the body's reward receptors, which is what makes them so addictive. Because of this, it can be very jarring for the body to quit cold turkey, or to have their supply of the drug abruptly cut off.
When a recovering addict tapers, the body slowly adjusts to lower and lower doses of the drug, which makes the process of completely abstaining less uncomfortable. Tapering may, in some cases, increase a recovering addict's chances of remaining sober.
The Dangers of Tapering
While some doctors and therapists advocate for tapering, many medical professionals caution that there are risks associated with the process. One risk associated with tapering is that the addict is still using the drug they are addicted too.
This is problematic because of the nature of addiction. When a person is dependent on a drug, they are singularly fixated on using and may have serious difficulty ceasing use once the drug is in their system. An addict who intends to taper may easily end up taking more than their recommended dose, and may negate any positive effects of tapering down. This may also lead to an increased risk of overdose or other health problems.
Another danger of tapering is that an addict may never decide to detox, and may remain dependent on low doses of a drug over the course of a long period of time.
Tapering Should Always Be Done With a Doctor's Advice
Because of the risks posed by tapering, it is always highly advisable to do so under the strong guidance of a doctor. A doctor will help to determine a schedule for tapering, and help to ensure that tapering is indeed helping a recovering addict work toward sobriety, and that they are minimizing the risk of raising the level of drugs that they take.
Doctors may monitor how many drugs an addict has at each visit and may also perform urine tests to monitor the levels of drugs that exist in an addict's system.
Deciding What Is Right For You
Whether tapering is a good idea ultimately depends on your own addiction and your own individual needs. Some addicts will have more success with tapering than others, and the best way to decide which method is right is to discuss your current habits and the nature of your addiction with your doctor.
Ultimately, the most important thing is that eventually to completely detox with the help of a qualified medical staff. Addiction is a difficult disease to overcome, but with the right support, it is possible to get healthy.

The Future Of Whitebait
As another whitebait season draws to a close, it's time to ponder the future of the five native fish species making up the catch.
WHITEBAIT - frittered in butter with beaten egg and a pinch of flour, served with fresh bread, washed down with cold beer, white wine, or a cup of tea.
No wonder New Zealanders take to estuaries and river mouths between August and November, hoping to fill a punnet, a bucket or even kerosene tins with wriggling, transparent fish.
Whitebaiting can be lucrative too – top stands in the south of the country change hands for up to $80,000. At $60/kg on the riverbank, the stand owner would need to harvest 1.3 tonnes of whitebait to break even. It has been retailing in shops this season for $10 to $15 a 100 grams.
For the Department of Conservation, however, there is more to whitebaiting than enforcing the rules, and more to native galaxiid fish than a fritter. Of the five species making up the whitebait catch, two are classified as threatened and in gradual decline, says DOC Canterbury Conservancy freshwater ecologist Sjaan Charteris.
While inanga form the bulk of the catch nationwide, the less common species – koaro, banded kokopu, shortjaw kokopu and giant kokopu – are also present in the run.
With whitebaiters around the country having enjoyed variable catches, as the season draws to a close, it may be tempting to believe the fishery is fine. But any lack of concern for its future would be misplaced.
Current catches are much reduced from the harvests of 50 to 100 years ago, says Dave Rowe of the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA).
"We have long thought one of the main problems was habitat destruction and we now have new research to prove it. Many whitebait escape fishers' nets to move upstream, and most of these fish die before reaching maturity."
"Inanga can't negotiate overhanging culverts, dams and other manmade barriers. Nor can they swim against water released from some floodgates. They live mainly in shallow freshwater streams and swamps, of which 94 per cent have been drained in the last 150 years. Nutrient discharge off farms may affect water quality as well, and the fish prefer not to live in badly-polluted streams."
Farmers, landowners, foresters, roadmakers and local authorities need to better appreciate what happens to whitebait species as they migrate upstream and progress through their life cycle, the Hamilton-based freshwater fish scientist says.
Despite DOC calls for fish-friendly culverts, and cattle-proof fencing along tidal river margins where inanga spawn, more needs to be done around the country, he says. "It's in whitebaiters' interests, let alone all of us, to tune into this problem."
A number of community groups throughout New Zealand, such as the Landcare Trust, whitebaiters' associations and iwi groups, have started restoring sections of small streams in inanga and taken an interest in their life cycles.
In early autumn, when spring tides are at their highest following the full moon, a keen observer will spot shoals of silvery adult inanga milling at the river's edge.
As the tide reaches its peak, the fish wriggle into the bases of flooded vegetation, typically tall grasses, flax or rushes. Females lay their eggs, while males turn the water milky with sperm. Most adults die naturally or are eaten by eels immediately after spawning. However, a few inanga may live as long as three years, spawning each year.
The fertilised eggs stick to the moist base of plant cover, where they develop, above the normal tide line, over the next three to six weeks. On the next big tide, they hatch into tiny larvae, and float out to sea on a falling tide. Here they are joined by the larvae of other whitebait species swept from other spawning sites, and drift as part of the marine plankton.
No one knows where whitebait go during their time at sea or what triggers the massing of 50mm juvenile fish in winter and spring every year at river mouths around the country. The study of whitebait falls short of an exact science.
Bearing in mind that four species are no longer common, of which two are threatened with ongoing decline, DOC has fixed the whitebait season from 15 August to 30 November for most of New Zealand.
On the West Coast, the season runs from 1 September to 14 November to improve the chances of giant and shortjaw kokopu which usually run later in the season reaching their preferred habitats. These include coastal wetlands for giant kokopu and forest-covered streams for short-jaw kokopu.
Early next year DOC is due to release a recovery plan to improve protection and knowledge of the four less common whitebait species. The recovery plan calls for more research into the contribution of these species to the whitebait catch, and better understand national population trends.
Whitebaiters may make a few observations of their own while hauling in their catch. Juvenile inanga have the desirable see-through appearance and swim about in the bottom of the whitebait bucket. Late in the season, a golden sheen may appear on some catch. This "goldenbait" is giant kokopu, or banded kokopu, So strong is their instinct to migrate, these species climb the sides of the bucket in an attempt to move upstream.
The young of koaro and short-jaw kokopu are milky in colour and are known as "elephant ears" for their large fins. Koaro and shortjaw kokopu also climb the sides of the whitebait bucket.
Ms Charteris says whitebaiters who discover goldenbait and elephant ears in their catch could return them to the water to help the chances of survival for their species.
In encouraging people to spare a thought for our quirky native galaxiids, the last word belongs to a Mainland Cheese brochure: "Have you ever wondered what becomes of a whitebait when its life isn't frittered away?"
Panel (326 words): Whitebait facts – the big five galaxiids: (images available, try www.niwa.co.nz/rc/freshwater/fishatlas/species)
In the spotlight: Shining a torch into suitable galaxiid streams and swamps at night is the easiest method of spotting adults of New Zealand whitebait species. In torchlight, koaro sparkle gold, banded kokopu appear blue, short-jawed kokopu, a brownish-pink and giant kokopu, olive-brown with brilliant gold hieroglyphic markings.
Inanga (Galaxias maculatus): The most common whitebait species grows into 9cm silvery cigar-shaped fish, preferring slow-moving coastal streams, swamps and lakes. Most live for a year, spawn in tidal riverside vegetation in autumn and die. Native to New Zealand, Australia, Chile and Argentina, inanga are among the most widely-distributed freshwater fish species in the world.
Koaro (Galaxias brevipinnis): Spectacular climbers, koaro use their large fins to scale steep slopes, even vertical waterfalls, into rocky, tumbling forest or tussock-lined streams. They grow to around 18cm, rarely up to 30cm, with a distinctive greenish-brown patterning, and spawn in late autumn at stream edges in high water flow. Nocturnal. The second most common whitebait species, koaro are also found in Southeast Australia.
Banded kokopu (Galaxias fasciatus): Adults may grow into 20cm fish with numerous pale stripes across the body. Good climbers as juveniles, adult "bandies", however, prefer small coastal streams with plenty of overhead forest cover. They spawn in heavy rains during flood flows in streamside forest litter and gravels. Mainly nocturnal. Threatened. Endemic.
Short-jaw kokopu (Galaxias postvectis): A drab, brownish fish as adults which may grow to 20cm, rarely to 30cm or more. Like koaro, they climb streams inland. They are restricted to streams, large or small, with native forest cover. Similar spawning habits to banded kokopu. Nocturnal. Threatened and sparsely distributed. Endemic.
Giant kokopu (Galaxias argenteus): aka Maori trout. Adults are olive-green, blunt-nosed heavy-set fish, up to 50cm long. Their golden hieroglyphic markings, reminiscent of the Milky Way galaxy, have given the genus, Galaxias, its name. Giant kokopu prefer overgrown gently flowing streams, swampy lagoons and lake edges near the sea. Mainly nocturnal. Threatened and in gradual decline. Endemic.

Gentlemen, start your engines … Tour Britannia is a unique event in British motor sport and team Hagerty Insurance is hoping to contest again this spring.
Tour Britannia is what you'd call a race tour and is based in the UK. In 2013 it will be a two-day event. Participants will be provided documentation, briefing and optional co-drivers' teach-in on the evening before the start.
The headquarters base hotel this year is at Warwick. The event has a cloverleaf format, with a loop each day before getting back to base early each evening. This allows crews time to wind down and share their day's experience with fellow competitors before dinner.
All cars must be road legal to drive from one venue to another. Participants will take in a race circuit each day and have special stages and regularity tests on private roads, hill climb courses and sprint courses, and the entire route is on asphalt.
There will be a series of different classes within the Regularity Category and Competition Category to suit all types of pre-1981 cars, and all crews with varying levels of experience.
Regularity Category competitors will participate in consistency tests on the race tracks, special stages and two road regularity tests each day.
Competition Category competitors tackle the special stages against the clock and have a race each day as well.
In addition there is a catch-all Category called Targa Britannia, open to any age of car which does not fit into the Competition Category.
Competition licences are not required for the Regularity event. In the Competition and Targa Categories the driver needs a National B race licence and the co-driver needs a basic Rally Licence (or higher in both cases). These are the basic level competition licence.
The objective is to get the competitors easily and safely from one venue to the next, with no trickery. Most sections of the route will feature scenic, traffic free, quiet roads, but there are times that the path will feature a minimum section of motorway route. Competitors are given an easy to follow road book with tulip diagrams, and the road book will also be available on the event website seven days before the start to allow competitors time to study it if they wish. Furthermore, there is an optional co-drivers' teach-in after documentation the night before the start where all questions can be answered, no matter how trivial.
Basically, Tour Britannia caters for all cars built up to 1981, and Targa Britannia is a catch-all for all later cars. If you are not sure, just send an e-mail to email@example.com with your query.
The event has seen entries ranging from pre-war Austin Sevens and Bugattis to Jaguars, Ford Escorts, Ferraris, Minis, Porsches, MGs and Bentleys – just about every type of car you can imagine.
Most certainly yes. You don't have to be a complete motoring anorak to enter: far from it. Families enter, and some of the father and son or father and daughter crews have really enjoyed the chance to have an adventure together and in the company of like-minded people.
Tour Britannia is organised by competitors for competitors. The objective is for all to enjoy the event, whether they are beginners or seasoned racers. All are welcome.
Once the event starts, everything except your accommodation is included. There will be a block of rooms at the HQ hotel. When you enter you will receive a code so you can draw down whatever rooms you want from the block booking.
Just go to the website www.tourbritannia.com and download an entry form.

To begin with - TOEFL scores are not so credible at the moment because of some fraudulent activities happening in India. Right now, until the dust settles, it is better to go for IELTS.
Nevertheless, TOEFL or IELTS only indicates your proficiency in the English language, and does not relate to your academic qualification or ability to get into any undergraduate or graduate program at any university.
For automobile engineering, you have many choices but try 'Lawrence Technological University' in Michigan. They are rather liberal in admission criteria.

- Receive individual instruction including safety orientation and training
- Flights in the vertical wind tunnel equal the flight time of 3 tandem skydives
- Includes helmet, goggles, flight suit, ear plugs, elbow and knee pads
- Take home a personal flight certificate
- No experience necessary!
No plane, no parachute, no problem! With this Indoor Skydiving experience, you'll use a state of the art vertical wind tunnel to experience the freedom of flight indoors!
Indoor skydiving is your chance to feel the amazing sensation of skydiving without jumping out of a plane. There is no falling sensation, you just float above the trampoline floor with ease.
You'll start out with a training class where you'll learn about flying in the wind tunnel and the use of your flight gear. Next, enjoy your flight rotations in the tunnel with 1-on-1 attention from your instructor. When you're back on solid ground, you'll receive a personalized flight certificate.
Indoor Skydiving is safe, fun and a great way for you to feel the thrill of skydiving. No experience is necessary and almost any age can participate!
Earn Your Wings Package: Oneparticipant receives two 1-minute flight rotations in the vertical wind tunnel, the equivalent flight time of 3 tandem skydives. You also get your training session, use of all the flight gear, hands on personal assistance from an instructor and a personalized flight certificate.
Essential Information:
- Participants under 6'0" must weigh no more than 230 pounds and participants over 6'0" must weigh no more than 250 pounds
- Must be in good physical condition with no medical history of heart, neck or back problems and must not have previous shoulder dislocations

The entire experience lasts about 1-1.5 hours, with 2 flight rotations per person. Each flight is approximately 1 minute, which is equivalent to 1-2 real skydives. Many flyers find that each minute feels much longer, due to the adrenaline involved with flying in a 120 MPH wind stream. Most people find 2 flight rotations to be an ideal amount for beginners.
Maximum Participants:
1 person flies at a time. 12 -15 participants per class.
Yes! Guests are welcome to accompany participants and may watch from the complimentary observation area.

Experience ID:
What is indoor skydiving?
Indoor Skydiving is the closest thing to skydiving you'll ever get without having to jump out of an airplane. It's so realistic that professional skydivers use the tunnel to practice and master their moves, yet safe enough for people of all ages without any experience to learn how to fly.
Do I need skydiving experience?
No, you do not need skydiving experience. The tunnel is designed for beginners to enjoy the sensation of free fall and body flight in a safe environment. You will receive excellent training prior to your time in the tunnel.
Do I have to jump at all?
Indoor skydiving offers the freedom and excitement of skydiving, but without the jump or hard fall. In the tunnel, your instructor will assist you in leaning directly into the wind flow so you will be lifted up. An instructor will be with you 1-on-1 while you are in the tunnel.
Can I do tricks and flips in the tunnel?
The first concern is for your safety in the flight chamber, so tricks or flips are done by experienced flyers only. Some flyers are able to do turns and move up and down and front to back on their first flight. Be sure to ask your instructor how to advance your flight skills. Once you develop those skills, you will find tunnel flying to be one of the most exciting sports you've ever experienced.
Is it safe?
Yes. The tunnel's unique wall to wall air column design and professionally trained instructors allow flyers to safely enjoy their flight session. Your flight instructor is with you throughout your entire flight experience.
How old do you have to be to fly?
Children 3 years of age and older can fly in the tunnel. The staff are trained to provide a safe and fun environment for your friends and loved ones. A waiver must be signed by a parent or legal guardian for anyone under the age of 18.

Description: Newbery-author Katherine Paterson's tale of the 1912 mill workers' strike -- in paperback! Rosa's mother is singing again-union songs. She's joined the strike against the corrupt mill owners. Rosa is terrified. What if Mamma is jailed or, worse, killed? Jake's dad threatened to kill him if he joined the strike. For Jake, that is reason enough to do so. Then Rosa, Jake, and the other children living in the middle of the strike are offered a very special opportunity: To live in Vermont until the strike is over. For Rosa, being away from her family is worse than seeing them in harm's way. For Jake, it's a chance to start over. For both of them, it's a time of growing up.

|Battle of Twilight's Honor
|Location: Shiro Kuni
|Date: 1118
| Major Forces: Crab Clan,
| Generals: Hiruma Makasu,
Hida Kisada,
A spawn of Akuma no Oni
|Battles of Rokugan
The Battle of Twilight's Honor in 1118 [1] was a large, costly battle by the Crab Clan after an invasion by the Shadowlands. The Crabs were unprepared for such a large invasion by a spawn of Akuma no Oni, and were forced deep into the Kaiu Wall's battlements and an adjoining Kuni Castle. It was believed the Shadowlands had an ally within the castle that failed at a critical point, allowing reinforcements to arrive and push the oni's army back into the Shadowlands. [2]
Preamble Edit
Hiruma Makasu, the Commander of the Guard at Shiro Kuni was a renowned hero of the Crab, but he had seen too many horrors and became insane. [3]
Siege Edit
A massive Shadowlands army prepared for an assault, made bold by the erratic behavior of the patrols and the apparent lack of vigilance on the part of the Crab defenders. [4]
Makasu's Mutiny Edit
Makasu completely mad by his bloodlust, prepared to initiate a suicidal counterattack, which only was prevented by the intervention of the personal forces of the Crab Clan Champion Hida Kisada. Makasu planned a mutiny, to force Kisada and the Crab to fight the Shadowlands 'without hiding behind walls'. He attempted to open the main gates at the height of the battle, [4] but was killed before he achieved it. [5]
Aftermath Edit
The castle was saved, but the defenders were nearly obliterated. [6]
Known deaths Edit

Christian Lopez is having his 15 minutes of fame after catching, then giving back, Derek Jeter's 3,000-hit ball Saturday.
The 23-year old cell phone salesman is quickly acquiring all the perks of overnight fame: corporate endorsement offers; non-stop media requests; a PR rep.
On Wednesday, Miller High Life offered to pay thousands of dollars in tax bills possibly incurred by Lopez for accepting free tickets and Jeter-signed memorabilia from the New York Yankees.
The IRS might view those goodies as income and hit him with an estimated $14,000 tax bill, tax experts told the New York Times Tuesday.
Miller spokesman Andy Bowman said they haven't talked to Lopez yet. He was busy holding a press conference Wednesday with Steiner Sports and Modell's in Times Square, where the two companies pledged at least $25,000 apiece to help the recent college graduate pay off his $100,000 in student loans. Topps said it would release a trading card of Lopez later this year.
Besides his presser, Lopez also did a whirlwind series of interviews with NBC's Today show and MSNBC. Wednesday.
"Its' simply a public offer. But it's a common sense thing to do and High Life is all about common sense, Miller's Bowman said. "We want him to know there are people supporting him."
After catching Jeter's 3,000th hit (a home run) Lopez could have kept the specially marked ball and sold it to the highest bidder. Instead, he immediately handed it over, saying the Yankees captain deserved it.
Ever since, fans and media have debated whether Lopez did the smart thing. His new spokeswoman, Jennifer Connelly says Lopez' feel-good story has gripped Americans. "To me, it's a story about Corporate America coming together to help a guy who did the right thing," she says.

May from ISA sent over a rough sketch of the lighting layout for the 100K House that they came up with. Given the discussion that was sparked the other day on the ceiling fans and where to put the lighting, I thought I would get this up ASAP for the interested parties. The star of our lighting, fixture wise, will be the simple $2 ceiling fixtures you find at Home Depot and normally only put in your basement. We will obviously be using exposed CFL's which should make a green statement as well as design statement, while maximizing the light output to the room from each bulb.
I am pretty excited about the layout ISA came up with. It really seems to solve the problem of the plain ceiling fan, economy, functionality and design. For me, it really came together when I saw both floors together. Take a look and let us know your thoughts…

WALES Under-16s travel to Northern Ireland tonight confident of recording a win in their final Victory Shield match.
The team aim to put narrow defeats against Scotland and England behind them when they face the Irish at Glenavon in Lurgan (8pm) - a match being televised live by Sky Sports.
"In three of our matches this season, the players have been desperately unlucky to lose by the odd goal against major opposition- England, Scotland and Germany," said manager Martin Evans.
"They are determined to show that these results do not accurately reflect the ability and potential of the squad.
"I'm quite sure that this determination will give us the result we all want to see on Friday."
In place of Rhys Powell and Craig Connor, Wales have selected two Cardiff-based schoolboys - Dominic Dwyer of Cardiff City and Abdi Ahmed of Barry Town.
Both are playing a year below this age group and will therefore be available for next season's Victory Shield squad.
Wales squad: C Sanna (Liverpool), L Norval (West Ham), S Eardley (Oldham Athletic), S Minnet (Southampton), J Ledley (Cardiff City), P Gray (Wrexham), K Morris (Cardiff City), R Davies (Wrexham), M Booth (Manchester United), G Coombes (Cardiff City), S Thyer (Tottenham Hotspur), D Dwyer (Cardiff City), C Bond (Swansea City), M Johnstone (Tranmere Rovers), A Ahmed (Barry Town), C Attard (Cardiff City)

As the international AIDS conference I've been attending in Malaysia draws to a close today, I've been reflecting on the new HIV treatment guidelines launched by the World Health Organization on 30 June at the start of the conference.
As a doctor who has sees the sharp end of infectious diseases, I believe impact on incidence should be the first thing to consider. With these new recommendations on HIV treatment, 3 million HIV-related deaths and 3.5 million new infections can be avoided. More...

Initially associated with blood transfusions and hospital care, the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) epidemic has since moved rapidly onwards to intravenous drug users, where it remains a major problem. Despite numerous harm reduction programmes, such as needle exchange, opiate substitution, and controlled shooting galleries, drug addiction remains the number one route of HCV transmission around the world. However, in HIV-infected patients, the HCV epidemic experienced a major shift in the mid-1990s, with sexual transmission, particularly among men who have More...

In the mid-1990s, Cambodia faced one of the fastest growing HIV epidemics in Asia and became within five years one of the few countries to have reversed its trend. Cambodia received a millennium development goal (MDG) award in 2010 from the United Nations as a global recognition of the country's response to HIV. My plenary presentation reviewed Cambodia's response in the past two decades and included a discussion of the way towards Elimination of New HIV infections in Cambodia.
Cambodia has had a three-phase response to HIV.
Phase 1 (1991 – 2000) The country confronted HIV under extremely vulnerable conditions in the early 1990s as the country emerged from instability. Fuelled by unprotected sex work, HIV and STIs spread rapidly through networks of sex workers and clients in the early to mid-1990s. More...

The global scientific community celebrated the 30th anniversary of the discovery of HIV last May, and we have certainly come a very long way since then. The many scientific breakthroughs in HIV research over the past couple of years hint at the possibility of a functional cure, and now there's even talk of plausibly ending AIDS by 2050, provided we have the collective political will to achieve universal access to antiretroviral treatment, HIV prevention services and total elimination of mother-to-child transmission.
I couldn't think of a better way to welcome the 7th IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2013) to our shores than with such resounding optimism. Civil society actors in the Malaysian HIV response sector are extremely excited to see how these scientific findings will be shared at IAS 2013 and benefit the people who need HIV science the most – key populations!

Selling online is not easy by any means. I've been doing it for over 10 years and the first 4 or 5 years was used trying to figure out what the heck I was doing. Even now about 90% of my time is used searching for new suppliers. But the key is not giving up and learning from your mistakes.
I can honestly tell you that though there are a few online sellers who are successful at dropshipping, most who try this method of selling don't last very long. The main problem is that dropshippers are mainly just middle men who are buying their products from a wholesaler and reselling them to you. This of course means that when you buy thier products that you are already paying for an item that has been marked up at least 2 times. The wholesaler marks up the product to sell to the dropshipper and then the dropshipper marks it up to sell to you. Then on top of that they normally charge an additional fee to dropship that item for you...
When selling within any market place, one of the keys to success is good customer service..This means not only selling at a good price to the customer, but timely shipping and good packaging. One of the biggest problems with dropshipping is that often the dropshipper has items that get out of stock, but they fail to tell you this. So you sell the item and then you get the dreaded 'on backorder' notice. And the customer looks at you for not receiving their product, not the dropshipper..
Another problem is that often the item arrives damaged due to shoddy packaging, again the customer looks at you and not the dropshipper..And little things like this are sure business killers..
Too keep in mind that dropshippers sell their products to thousands of people just like you all trying to sell the same products. This makes the market saturated for the type of goods that most dropshippers sell. Very little room for any type of sustainable profit margins...
I suggest that you sink yourself into some solid research and find your own products and put those on your site and ebay if that is where you are selling. This way you will have control over 'your' business and it will enable you to make some profits and build a happy and loyal customer base...Don't place the life of your business in someone else's hands...And that is exactly what you do when dropshipping...
For products, I would start a file and then start searching the 'B2B' sites (just google 'business to business'. And start searching those types of sites. That is where you will find the real suppliers and not all the dropship and middleman sites that dominate the web seeking to separate you from your money..
Don't forget the online 'yellow pages' too. They will have lots of real wholesalers, liquidation sellers and surplus sites...And normally liquidations, closeouts and surplus suppliers is where you will find your best products....
Having been in the business for a good while, I can honestly say that I spent a small fortune on all the so called get rich programs, wholesale lists, dropship programs that were available when I first started out...But all of that info is out there for free. You just have to sink yourself into it.
I can also say the the small fee that I paid to be a member on this site was nothing compared to it's true value. I don't even really use the suppliers on this site, but the forum is priceless. The people on here will help you in anyway that you need, from finding products, to listing, shipping and the whole gamet...I hold memberships on a bunch of sites just like this one and this is the only one that has been worth the money..
So my advice is to stick around, ask lots of question, read what others are saying and doing, learn from your mistakes and take your business on ahead...
I don't often read the forums, but always find them interesting when i do. I agree that you have to continually be researching for opportunities. Being in New Zealand Drop Shipping has not been an option, but I would agree, why put your business into other peoples hands. Thanks gulfy13 and fudjj for your comments. I found them encouraging and helpful. So many people only want to talk about the bad things.
I have been reading the comments in the forum since I recently joined. I had been feeling the same way until I read everyone's comments. The information and the advice given are priceless from fudjj and gulfy13. You have definately helped me. Much appreciated.

Justin Timberlake ready for parenthood
Justin Timberlake's unborn baby is his "greatest creation".
The 'Mirrors' hitmaker paid tribute to his "best friend and favourite collaborator", pregnant wife Jessica Biel, as he accepted the Innovator Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards yesterday (29.03.15) and told the audience at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium he is preparing for the next phase of his life.
He said: "You can't have innovation without creations, so finally I want to thank my best friend, my favourite collaborator, my wife Jessica at home who's watching.
"Honey, I can't wait to see our greatest creation yet. Don't worry, daddy's headed home right now to innovate by learning how to change a poopy diaper and get my swaddle on."
Before he accepted the prize from designer Tom Ford, a tribute video featuring the likes of Timbaland, Jimmy Fallon and Taylor Swift played, which the 34-year-old singer admitted "blew his mind".
He said: "That blew my mind. Everyone who was in that, I love you too. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
As well as praising Jessica, the former *NSYNC star also thanked his mother, Lynn Harless, for encouraging him to embrace his "difference" to be a success.
He said: "Growing up in school, no one ever called me anything close to an innovator. They called me different. They called me weird. They called me a couple of other words I can't say on TV.
"Thankfully my mother taught me that being different was a good thing. That being different meant that you could actually make a difference. So, tonight I want to thank my mom.
"If you're a young person, like I used to be, and you're at home watching and you're being called weird, or you're being called different, or whatever the hell you're being called, I'm here tonight to tell you, your critics do not count. Their words will fade. You won't.
Stay foolish, stay hungry. Dream, work hard and who knows, maybe someday, you'll find yourself standing on a stage and maybe someday somebody will be giving you an award calling you an innovator."
The 'SexyBack' singer concluded his speech with two "inspiring" quotes from late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and former US President Theodore Roosevelt.

Is there a vomiting bug going around

My two grandchildren are coming down to us tomorrow and they have had a vomiting bug and my daughter also, so is there something going around the schools at the moment, or is it food poisoning?
Posted 07 December 2012 - 12:30 PM
My DD1 goes to childcare in Queanbeyan and started throwing up yesterday at 5:30am. Her last vomit was at 5:30pm. The only place she had been on Wednesday was childcare so yes, there is a vomiting bug going around. Touch wood DH, DD2 and myself haven't caught it.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 12:34 PM
There is something going around - my mum was called to say not to visit my grandfather in athe nursing home - they are in lockdown due to gastro.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 12:45 PM
there seems to be one in Perth too
Posted 07 December 2012 - 12:47 PM
I am in Brisbane and my daughter was vomiting all night. (My husband and I are also feeling pretty ordinary.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 12:48 PM
There is one in Perth.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 01:09 PM
Yes there definitely is. We've just come back from Sydney and 6 of us there got it and now I am back home, my DS has now gotten it. We are just waiting for my DH & DD2 to get it now. It is pretty horrible and here it is taking days to get over after the vomiting & diarrhoea have stopped (queezy tummy and lack of appetite etc).
Posted 07 December 2012 - 01:14 PM
I'm in Newcastle.
Kept DS home from childcare on Wednesday as he spewed twice and was generally miserable all day Tuesday. He seemed fine again on Wednesday, but I was expecting DD or I to come down with it (we haven't yet, touch wood).
Posted 07 December 2012 - 01:17 PM
Yep there is. We haven't had it (touch wood) but a lot of kids on my Facebook page seem to have it at the moment.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 06:02 PM
Yep, there is. I as it lat week, and DD1 the week before. So far so good for DH and DD2 though.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 06:17 PM
I'm in Brisbane and there is something going around.
We have had it go though our family. DD2 started Saturday night 2 weeks ago. DD1's turn Tuesday night and Wednesday. I got it last Friday night. No one else had it in our family. It seems to be a 24 hour thing and there was a few days between one sick person and then the next.
I know someone else who had it this week and the local nursing home was in quarantine this week because of gastro.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 06:20 PM
Yep, I've had it too, it's awful!!
Posted 07 December 2012 - 06:25 PM
I'm in the Blue Mountains in NSW.
I had to pick up DD1 from school today as she was vomitting. The office lady told me she was the 12th kid this week to go home because they were thowing up.
Posted 08 December 2012 - 08:03 AM
Definitely been a vicious one going around in this part of Canberra. I know a couple of kids who have been hospitalised with it
Posted 08 December 2012 - 03:48 PM
I am NSW not ACT but my DD2 was down with it for 3 days last week, finally on 4th day she didn't vomit anymore & by 5th day she was eating & drinking normally again.
Posted 08 December 2012 - 03:56 PM
It seems to be worse this time of year.
I believe it's related to the season, with more socialising than usual and more "special" occasions that people are reluctant to miss out on, even if they're not well and will be coming into contact with big groups. So illness is more likely to spread.

I agree it's vicious, myself and two of my kids down so far, I have never been so sick
Posted 08 December 2012 - 09:04 PM
Yep, I got it and I can count on one hand the number of times I've vomited post-childhood so it was a bit of a surprise. The person before me at the GP had it too. I only vomited once right at the start but felt bad for quite awhile afterwards.
Posted 08 December 2012 - 09:16 PM
Canberra as well. My DS came down with it Tuesday night and was vomiting for a few hours. Within 30mins of him finally settling down, I got it! But it only last a few hours and then we were both pretty tired and weak the next day. Then just off colour for a couple of days. So I think we got a pretty light dose. I noticed there were quite a few kids away from his nursery room in c/c this week.

It's definitely going around Melbourne, half of the office have been off sick, & lots of my mums group have either had it, or family have it. Seems to just be 12 hours or so of dramatic vomiting & diaharrea, then it passes. Hope you don't get it, it's nasty, especially for the little ones.

Hence you really don't want nor need Elektra.Software without configuration options what a novel idea... In all seriousness that day will come long after the paperless bathroom....
My point was that you don't want _configuration files_, of course you need configuration for some, even most, pieces of software. Another point was that this configuration should be read from either the desktop session _or_ some remote LDAP server. Maybe if you read my whole mail before replying this would have been clear.

For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Lucy is a sci-fi/action movie starring Scarlett Johansson. The violence gets fairly graphic, with lots of shoot outs and blood splattering everywhere. The main female character is manhandled, punched, and kicked, and she also kills some bad guys without consequence. The plot concerns fictitious drugs and using drug mules to smuggle them, which requires some bloody operations to get them in and out of people's bellies. There are some quick documentary-like flashback scenes of sex between animals as well as between humans, and the main character sometimes wears sexy, objectifying outfits. Language isn't frequent but does contain at least two uses of "s--t." Characters sometimes drink alcohol. It's all pretty intense, but the movie is so slick and thoughtful that teens may come away thinking about the ideas more than the iffy content.
- Sexual Content
- A documentary-type flashback shows animals having sex, followed by a woman having sex with a man in a car; nothing sensitive is shown, but what they're doing is clear enough. This is followed by images of birth, both animals and humans. The main character is sometimes sexualized through her outfits. In two instances, male characters place their hands down the front of her top. In one scene, Lucy, while fully clothed, spreads her legs apart to seduce a guard, though she quickly defeats him. Lucy kisses a helpful cop.
- Violence
- Strong fantasy violence, with lots of blood. Many characters are shot and killed, with blood splattering all over. Characters' hands and faces are covered in blood. Characters are used as drug mules, and the drugs are sewn up inside their intestines, requiring several bloody surgeries throughout the movie. Many chases and shoot outs with random death and destruction throughout. The main female character is grabbed, manhandled, punched, and kicked in several early scenes. She shoots and kills several bad guys without consequence. A character is stabbed in the hands with knives.
- Language
- "S--t" is used twice. "Ass," "a--hole," and "hell" are also heard.
- Social Behavior
- Through its sci-fi concept (and in between fights, shoot outs, and chases), the movie makes several interesting, thoughtful pronouncements: that humans are currently more concerned with having than with being, that nothing ever truly dies, that ignorance creates chaos but knowledge does not, and that we as humans have the capability to change things.
- Consumerism
- A bottle of Evian water is used to clean a character's bloody hands. A Peugeot is driven during a car chase. Samsung products appear a few times.
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- Fictitious drugs and drug smuggling are a major part of the plot. A crazed junkie snorts the new drug. Viewers see a brief flashback of a character drinking a shot in a bar. She drinks a shot of whisky with the bad guy while preparing to become a drug mule. And she drinks a sip of champagne on an airplane. The bad guy smokes a cigarette.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

Coordinates: 43°09′14″N 71°32′54″W / 43.15389°N 71.54833°W Bow High School is a four-year public high school located in Bow, New Hampshire, United States, as part of the Bow School District.[6] The principal is John House-Myers[4] who took over in June 2006 from George Edwards who had been principal since the school's establishment.[7]
As of the 2005-06 school year, the school had an enrollment of 640 students and 53.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 12.1.[1]
Bow High School was established in 1997, serving grades 9 through 12.[3] Before this time high school students from Bow went to Concord.[2] In 1993 the Concord School District told Bow they could no longer send Bow students to Concord High after the 1996-1997 school year.[2] Immediately Bow started to make plans for a high school of their own.[2] The school was built and now sits on the shores of Turee Pond.[2] The school was originally designed to accommodate 600 students,[2] and in 2005/2006 had a student population of 640.[1] The school cost $16 million. Beginning in the fall of 2014, the school began serving students from the neighboring town of Dunbarton.[8]
The school has a 600-seat auditorium, an 800-seat gym, a video production facility and state of the art technology.[2]
Classes at Bow High School are leveled in a heterogeneous manner.[9] Each student at BHS is required to take two science classes, which is fulfilled through a mandatory Integrated Science and Technology class freshman and sophomore year, although the majority of students take more than that.[9] Students are required to graduate with two and a half Building Essential Skills for Tomorrow (B.E.S.T) classes (physical education).[9] Students are also required to take a freshmen Humanities class, a sophomore American studies class, a junior World Studies class, and seniors are required to take Senior Seminar, a class that directs them through their senior project.[9]
Graduation credit requirements[edit]
Graduation requirements for Classes 2007-2010:[9]
- Humanities - 8 credits
- Math, Science, Technology, and Business - 8 credits
- B.E.S.T - 2.5 credits
- Electives - 5 credits
Jim Kaufman is Bow School District's Athletic Administrator.[10] As of 2007, Bow had won 25 state championships (including a total of five state championships in spring 2003 alone).
The athletic teams participate in NHIAA Division II and Division III. The following sports are represented: soccer, golf, field hockey, football, cross country, alpine skiing, Nordic skiing, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling, indoor track, spirit, swimming, lacrosse, tennis, softball, baseball, and track and field.
Extracurricular activities[edit]
Student Teal Van Dyck won second place in the national Poetry Out Loud in 2006, earning a $10,000 scholarship.[11] Van Dyck was also selected to be one of Bow High School's Granite State Challenge competitors on New Hampshire's PBS station, NHPTV.[12]
The school was the scene of a set piece speech by Bill Clinton on January 8, 2008 in support of Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign.[13]
In 2005 there was controversy when the Bow High School administration told a student, Isabel Gottlieb, that she would not graduate for not satisfying the state's physical education requirement. The student did not want to take the minimum state requirements of Physical Education, and opted for study hall instead. [14] The situation was resolved when her previous high school issued her a new transcript, awarding her credit for participation in varsity athletics.[15]
In June 2005 the student population, with the exception of the senior class, took place in a school mandated DHHS survey. 17% of surveyed students reported smoking marijuana during a 30-day period and 31% reported consuming alcohol during the same period. The results were below the state average for student substance abuse and the school principal did not consider the results sufficient to necessitate drug testing of student athletes.[16]

Shares of Apple Inc. stabilized on Wednesday, following a drop of more than 5 per cent in after-hours trading on Tuesday evening when the company reported a rare miss in quarterly results.
The shares briefly dipped below $399 (U.S.) during the first hour of trading Wednesday, on volumes slightly higher than average, before rebounding to more than $406. In the run up to Apple's fiscal fourth-quarter results, the shares were trading above $420, hitting an all-time closing high of $426.70 on Monday.
Although the Cupertino, Calif.-based company posted a 54 per cent jump in profit ($6.6-billion) on revenue that rose 39 per cent ($28.3-billion), results fell short of the Street's expectations due to lower-than-expected sales of iPhones, iPads, and iPods. It was the first time that Apple disappointed in at least 26 quarters, according to Bloomberg.
Apple sold 17.1 million iPhones in the three months ended Sept. 24. Mike Abramsky, an analyst with RBC Dominion Securities, had expected sales of 19.5 million, while some other forecasts were even higher. Similarly, Apple said it sold 11.1 million iPads in the quarter, compared with 12.5 million estimated by Mr. Abramsky and even higher forecasts of other analysts.
Investors appeared to be more concerned about last quarter's numbers than impressed with Apple's forecast for the current quarter, which the company said should deliver record share profit of about $9.30 on record sales of about $37-billion.
Apple's strong guidance, which is above expectations, "may suggest this miss is transitional," Mr. Abramsky noted. "They see strong catalysts ahead, and expectations were unusually high for the [fourth]quarter."
Tuesday's financial report was the first since the death on October 5 of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.
"His spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple, and we are dedicated to continuing the amazing work that he loved so much," Tim Cook, the new chief executive officer, said on a conference call Tuesday.
The shortfall in iPhone sales may have been caused by customers holding off purchases until the company rolled out its latest handset, the iPhone 4S this month. On the call, Mr. Cook said sales of the new device are red hot. "In our wildest dreams, we couldn't have gotten off to as great a start as we did with the iPhone 4S," he said.
Mr. Abramsky says Apple shares may face short-term volatility because of the miss until investors see data supporting the next leg of growth. His rating of "outperform" and $500 price target remain unchanged.
