ANNUAL MANUAL- Outings: Daytrips
Scottsville- 30 minutes south
When you're tubing down the James River, living really is easy. Let James River Runners (286-2338) or James River Reeling and Rafting (286-4386) arrange the trip. Or let one of America's last poled ferries, the Hatton Ferry (call the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society at 296-1492), take your car across the James. Try the Dew Drop Inn (286-4114), for a beer and fries, or Lumpkins (286-3690) for home cooking and a great slice of pie. If you happen to visit on a Saturday or Sunday, you might catch the Scottsville Museum (286-2247) open.
Scottsville Chamber of Commerce: 286-6000
Madison County- 30 minutes north
Historic Madison is ideal for strolling and antiquing. For a more outdoorsy visit, there's fishing, hiking, and camping in the Shenandoah National Park– or climb up Old Rag Mountain. Check into Graves Mountain Lodge (540-923-4231) for some all-you-can-eat home cooking and horseback riding. The most typical shopping reasons for venturing up 29 north (and watch out for speed traps in Greene County): the Plow and Hearth Catalog Outlet (540-948-5412) and Prince Michel Vineyards (800-800-WINE).
Madison County Chamber of Commerce: 540-948-4455
Orange County- 30 minutes northeast
Historic Willow Grove Inn (540-672-5982/800-949-1778) in Orange is critically acclaimed for its gourmet southern cooking. And Barboursville Vineyards (540-832-3824) make some of the best Virginia wine. Orange County has its own presidential estate: James Madison's Montpelier (540-672-2728), which is undergoing renovation until 2008 to rip away the alterations of the previous owners, the DuPonts, and restore the landmark to the way James and Dolley knew it. But fear not, fans of the fourth president, the mansion is still open for tours.
Orange County Chamber of Commerce: 540-672-5216
Waynesboro- 30 minutes west
In all honesty, Waynesboro doesn't offer the seasoned traveler quite the bounty of some of the other destinations in the area. But for affordable housing, it can't be beat. Housing costs about half what it costs in Charlottesville. The Artisans Center of Virginia (540-946-3294 or 877-508-6069) is home to a retail sales gallery and two exhibition programs in Willow Oak Plaza, 801 W. Broad St. Hours for this official state center for fine crafts by Virginia artists: 10am-6pm Mon-Sat, 12:30-5:30pm Sun. The P. Buckley Moss Museum (800-343-8643) is world famous. About five miles away in Fishersville, the André Viette Farm and Nursery (800-575-5538) offers a wide variety of plants. Speaking of landscaping, Waynesboro boasts one of the best city parks around. Ridgeview Park (Waynesboro Parks and Recreation: 540-942-6799) sits right on the South River, complete with ducks. It has a terrific play area, shaded picnic tables, and a huge public pool that features a nearly extinct part of the swimming experience of people over 30: a high dive. On the way home, stop by the Tastee-Freeze for a visit to soft ice cream heaven.
Sidetrip: About 15 miles north lie the closest major caverns to Charlottesville: the Grand Caverns (888-430-2283). The site offers not just cave tours, but also features swimming, hiking, biking, picnicking, a haunted cave on Halloween, and a yearly bluegrass festival.
Waynesboro Tourism Office: 540-942-6644
Skyline Drive- 30 minutes west
This is the "main street" of the Shenandoah National Park (800-778-2851), the 105-mile-long road that winds along the ridges. Cost is $10 per vehicle to experience these charms, but you can stay longer than a day. The park has over 500 miles of trails, including 101 miles of the Appalachian Trail. Choose your degree of roughing it from camping to rustic cabins, lodge rooms or suites at Skyland (800-999-4714) or Big Meadows (800-999-4714).
Blue Ridge Parkway- 30 minutes west
This mountain-top paradise is too close and too beautiful not to take advantage of, and unlike Skyline Drive, it's free. A nice one-mile hike with killer views is to Humpback Rocks, where you'll find an authentic pioneer farm that shows just how hard it was for settlers to eke out an existence. Fiddling, quilting, basket-making, and other crafts and arts are demonstrated at the farm on summer weekends. And up the road a few miles, Raven's Roost is perfect for rock climbing or picnicking. For general Parkway information, call 828-259-0358.
Staunton- 40 minutes west
Pronounced STAN-ton, it's an embarrassment of riches that begins with the architecture and doesn't end until you climb the highest hills and look out over this quaint antebellum city that escaped the ravages of the Civil War. Most fun is to arrive by train (problem: there's no train back, so plan to have a friend meet you there with a car), but if you go by car, you can take in more of the city's attractions, including Gypsy Hill Park (540-332-3945) with its dollar-a-ride Gypsy Express train (540-885-0513) and mammoth duck pond for kids, as well as tons of public recreation facilities. On the edge of town, the Frontier Culture Museum (540-332-7850) demonstrates life on four farms representing the Valley's original settlers, as well as Wright's Dairy-Rite (540-886-0435), an extremely kid-friendly diner that still has curb service. In the heart of town, there's soft-serve ice cream the locals swear by at Kline's (540-885-4664); the exact replica of England's Blackfriars Playhouse (540-885-5588), home of the American Shakespeare Center; Woodrow Wilson's birthplace (540-885-0897); and Mary Baldwin College (540-887-7019)– as well as lots of galleries, restaurants, and inns. But it's also a real town with hardware stores, cheap diners, and a big scary prison building. The Visulite theater has been restored to its original 1937 grandeur and shows art films as well as current releases (540-885-9966).
Stanton-Augusta Travel Information Center: 540-332-3972
Nelson County- 40 minutes south
The Blue Ridge Parkway (828-259-0358) runs through Nelson County, which also contains a chunk of two mammoth national forests: George Washington and Jefferson. One of the most popular area hikes is to Crabtree Falls, a 2.5-mile walk that rewards weary hikers with stunning Blue Ridge views (trust us, you'll want a frosty beverage when you reach the top). Classic TV fans from all over the country flock to the Walton's Mountain Museum (831-2000) in Schuyler, birthplace of Earl "John-Boy" Hamner. The other nifty thing in Schuyler is the Alberene Soapstone Company (866-831-5100), which once employed over 1,000 people to shape soapstone. Wintergreen Resort (325-2200) provides plenty of resort-type activities like skiing, snowboarding, and golf. The Wintergarden Spa (325-8562) is a daytrip in itself. The luxurious spa includes indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, steam room, fitness center, and hot tubs overlooking the mountains. And if you're in the neighborhood of Nellysford, don't miss a barbecue or turkey croissant at Blue Ridge Pig (361-1170). For wine aficionados, there are at least nine vineyards and wineries within the county.
Nelson County Convention & Visitors Bureau: 800-282-8223
Sherando Lake- 40 minutes west
Part of George Washington National Forest, the 24-acre Sherando Lake offers a sandy beach and the joys of swimming without a lifeguard tweeting his whistle for every suspicious move. An island is a tempting target to swim to (and indeed, a man drowned attempting it in 2004). The lake allows boats (without gasoline engines) and fishing, is surrounded by trails, and offers 65 campsites.
Glenwood and Pedlar Ranger District Office: 540-291-2188
Harrisonburg- An hour northwest
Home to the Virginia Quilt Museum (540-433-3818). On the way to this quasi metroburg, where horse-drawn buggies are still in style, stop by the Mennonite-run Dayton Farmers Market (540-879-3801) or the half-million books-strong Green Valley Bookfair (800-385-0099). Then, choose between the leprechaun-motif-ed Shenandoah Caverns (540-477-3115) and the cave with the longest tour, Endless Caverns (800-544-2283). Drive past the main campus of James Madison University (540-568-6211) and the Quad (much like The Lawn at UVA) into the heart of the city: Court Square. There you'll find shopping and dining as well as the fairly new Court Square Theater (540-433-9189), which hosts movies, plays, and music several nights a week. Next, take a jaunt to the New Market Battlefield State Park (866-515-1864) or to one of the most massive mountains in Virginia, Massanutten Resort (540-289-9441)– which offers skiing, mountain-biking, golf, and other activities, services, and amenities.
Harrisonburg Tourism and Visitors Center: 540-432-8935
Lynchburg- One hour southwest
Clearly, this is a city that used to gleam. Besides such fabulous bits of urban artistry as Monument Terrace, we know of no city in Virginia– with the possible exception of Richmond– with so many Victorian mansions. Find a copy of the Historic Districts brochure, and check out a formerly industrial city that's just now beginning to be polished for tourists. After cruising through the scratchy neighborhoods, another eye-popping historic treat awaits if you drive out to the suburbs on Rivermont Avenue toward Randolph College (947-8000), formerly Randolph-Macon Woman's College before it went co-ed this year and royally chafed about 90 percent of its graduates. There, early 20th century houses are the equal of almost any neighborhood in America. Head back downtown to catch a show at the recently renovated Academy of Music Theater (528-3390). Then check out Amazement Square (845-1888) an interactive children's museum that offers history, science, art and more in an old warehouse on the James. A huge climbing tower offers lots of fun in the center of the building. Also downtown is the Old City Cemetery (847-1465) which now also includes a medical museum, arboretum, and station house museum.
Sidetrip #1: On your way, you can check out one of the state's newest parks, James River State Park.
Sidetrip #2: Can't get enough TJ back in Charlottesville? Just in the outskirts of Lynchburg, in Forest, is Jefferson's octagonal summerhouse, Poplar Forest. 525-1806
Lynchburg Regional Convention and Visitors Bureau: 845-5966
Lexington- One hour southwest
Home to many historical monuments and traditions. While trying to get its financial house in order, Theater at Lime Kiln (540-463-7088) this summer offers concerts by Robin and Linda Williams, and productions of The Crucible and, ironically, The Winter's Tale. Bring a picnic. Those bastions of southern culture Washington and Lee University (540-458-8400) and Virginia Military Institute (540-464-7230) dominate with stunning architecture, history, and verdant green space, as well as the must-see Lee Chapel (540-458-8768) with its famous "recumbent Lee" statue. The VMI Museum (540-464-7334) has memorabilia of Gen. Stonewall Jackson, who's buried, if you can believe it, in Stonewall Jackson Cemetery on Main Street. Before you head to Downtown's enticing array of shops, see a Nobel Peace Prize and other World-War II memorabilia at the George C. Marshall Museum (540-463-2083). For a fright, try Haunting Tales: Lexington's Ghost Tour (540-464-2250). And for a real bit of Americana, go to Hull's Drive-In (Movie Info Line: 540-463-2621) and see movies the way your ((great)grand)parents did.
Lexington and the Rockbridge Area Visitor Center: 540-463-3777
Richmond- One hour and ten minutes east
This is such a big and historic city that to try to pick out just a few attractions would not do it justice. There's a world-class park called Maymont (804-358-7166)– a daytrip in itself, whether you go for its Italian, Japanese, or butterfly gardens, or the kids' trip: the farm where tots can pet goats, sheep, and rabbits. There are also wildlife exhibits and a new nature center. Maybe you'll take in the 12,000 square-foot Gilded Age Maymont House. Heck, you may even want to get married there. Vestiges of the town's days as the Confederate capital are commemorated on Monument Avenue, where the brouhaha over Arthur Ashe's statue once embroiled the River City. With its opulent townhouses, sumptuously wide median, and monuments to heroes, it can't be beat for jaw-dropping beauty. And it isn't necessary to go to Washington to find good museums. The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (804-340-1400) has a far more impressive collection than you'd expect to find in a city of Richmond's size. The city is home to the Edgar Allan Poe Museum (804-648-5523), the Museum and White House of the Confederacy (804-649-1861), and the Science Museum of Virginia (804-864-1400). Carytown on Cary Street is a shopping mecca of funky shops and restaurants. For excellent Southeast Asian fare, try upscale French/Vietnamese at Indochine (804-353-5799) and the "best of"-rated Thai Diner & Cafe (804-353-9514). Two amazing historic neighborhoods stand out: The Fan District, with its array of eclectic shops and cafés, and Church Hill, which surrounds St. John's Church (804-648-5015), site of Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death" speech. Even the standard rich-folks suburb, Windsor Farms, has a couple of historic houses one can tour: Virginia House (804-353-4251) and Agecroft Hall (804-353-4241). Don't miss the Virginia State Capitol, designed by Charlottesville's favorite son and war-time governor, Thomas Jefferson, which recently underwent a major restoration. A hot attraction is the canal locks downtown, and they now have water taxis (804-649-2800). A typical shopping trip to Richmond for Charlottesvillians? Forty-five minutes to the Short Pump exit to the Short Pump Town Center featuring all kinds of swank boutiques.
Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau: 888-RICHMOND
Farmville- One hour 15 minutes south
Once an authentic tobacco town, Farmville's old warehouses have found a new use as furniture and rug emporia, thanks to Green Front Furniture (392-5943), a discounter of fine household goods that seems to occupy about half the town's storefronts. (Important note for daytrippers: It's closed on Sundays.) Other major attractions include the dive-y Walker's Diner (392-4230) and two colleges, Longwood University (395-2000), a former teachers' school, and Hampden-Sydney College (223-6000), founded in 1776 and one of only three men-only colleges left.
Sidetrip: About 30 minutes west is Appomattox Court House National Historic Park (352-8987x26), a village that looks much as it did on April 9, 1865, when U.S. Grant accepted Robert E. Lee's surrender there.
Farmville Chamber of Commerce: 392-3939
Fredericksburg- One hour 15 minutes northeast
Soon to be home to the United States National Slavery Museum, this treasure-box of Virginia history includes a quaint downtown with a historic mansion you can tour called Kenmore (540-373-3381). Four major Civil War battles raged around this river city, and you can visit the Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville (site of Gen. T. J. "Stonewall" Jackson's death), Spotsylvania, and Wilderness battlefields by going to Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park (540-372-3072). Outside, go canoeing or try some big-boat cruises (804-453-2628) on the scenic Rappahannock River.
Fredericksburg Visitor Center: 540-373-1776
Natural Bridge- One hour 20 minutes southwest
Many roadside tourist dreams comes true thanks (originally, at least) to a natural wonder once owned by Charlottesville's own Mr. Jefferson. The 215-foot-tall limestone arch of Natural Bridge (800-533-1410) can be seen for $12– or along with its own Caverns, Wax Museum, and Toy Museum for $28. (Or, if you're particularly flush, the whole shootin-match is for sale.) Outside the gates are other great bits of Americana like Virginia Safari Park (540-291-3205) and Professor Cline's Haunted Monster Museum which costs $7 for adults, $5 for kids and includes admission to Dino Kingdom. If you get a kitsch overload, the old-school authenticity of nearby Lexington and the historic river pass of Goshen, with fabulous picnicking and some sweet swimming holes among the boulders, might provide some respite.
Luray- One hour 40 minutes northwest
Made famous nationally by the 1878 discovery of majestic caverns, this Page County burg is an easy daytrip for a couple or family. Kids will be thrilled by the Luray Zoo (540-743-4113), a reptile and petting zoo that just happens to have one of the East Coast's biggest snake collections– not to mention giant fiberglass dinosaurs for kitschy thrills. Then there's the big attraction, Luray Caverns (540-743-6551), where people pay $19 (kids pay $9) to walk around underground, trying to remember which are stalagmites and which are stalactites.
Sidetrip: About 20 minutes west over the mountain is New Market (540-740-3432), where 10 VMI cadets died in 1864 in a futile charge against invading Yankees. Today you'll find the New Market Battlefield Military Museum (866-515-1864), which claims it has the largest collection of antique military memorabilia on display anywhere.
Luray Visitor Information Center: 540-743-3915
Warm Springs- One hour 40 minutes southwest
Sure, Warm Springs is beautiful, but the real reason to take the twisty drive to Bath County is to soak in the Jefferson Pools (540-839-7547), the only historic landmark that allows skinny dipping. The men's pool was built in 1761, the women's in 1836. Cost: $15 for one hour. Water temperature: a perfect 98 degrees. Grab an après-spa burger at the Springs Grill.
Roanoke- Two hours southwest
It's a bit of a hike from these parts, but more than train junkies know it's worth the drive for the O. Winston Link Museum (540-982-5465). If you're not into Link's night-time photographs of locomotives, you can feast your eyes on the real deal at Virginia Transportation Museum (540-342-5670) or perhaps drive to Mini Graceland at 605 Riverland near the iconic Mill Mountain Star. Speaking of which, there's probably no zoo in America with such an interesting mountaintop location– and such a little train for the kiddies– as the Mill Mountain Zoo (540-343-3241). Like Staunton, it even has an outdoor frontier museum called Explore Park (540-427-1800/800-842-9163).
The Roanoke Valley Convention & Visitors Bureau: 540-342-6025/800-635-5535

All Natural Whisker Oil isn't just for shaving. Sure, it's perfect for prepping skin pre-shave, letting your razor glide freely while you shave and hydrating skin after shaving. But it's clever combination of essential oils, like Daikon Radish, Aloe, Rosehip and Pumpkin Seed, also make it astonishingly versatile.
Of course, you know to drink plenty of water to hydrate your body during and after exercising, but don't forget your skin. It needs hydration too, especially after a tough and sweaty workout. A dose of Whisker Oil is just the thing to keep your skin in top shape.
You can massage it into your face and body after a hot shower. Whisker Oil locks in moisture to keep skin soft and smooth for the rest of the day without a greasy feel. Contrary to conventional thinking, skincare oils actually reduce the production of oil and balance your complexion.
Whisker Oil also has anti-bacterial and healing properties, which are essential post-workout. If you've been outside running or biking, the Aloe and Rosehip oils will soothe windburn and reduce redness. Plus, the relaxing scent of citrus and spice will have you feeling like you just left the spa.
2. Youth Boosting Facial Treatment
Whisker Oil doesn't just give you a clean, close shave without irritation, it's also a fountain of youth. It contains a blend of natural essential oils that combat signs of aging. For instance, organic Camellia Oil smooths away lines and wrinkles, while Rosehip Oil evens skin tone and diminishes dark spots.
Whisker Oil can be used for young and healthy looking hair. The Pumpkin Seed and Daikon Radish Oils keep hair looking thick, shiny and full of life.
Even the most epic of beards need some caretaking to avoid looking like a wild lumberjack (unless of course that's the look you're going for). Whisker Oil is the perfect way to tame and freshen scruff.
Just put a few drops on your fingertips and apply to whiskers. Keep in mind that a little goes a long way. The bonus? Not only will it keep a beard looking great, if you decide to shave, it'll reveal soft, healthy and ultra-kissable skin.
One of the best things about Whisker Oil is that it only contains natural ingredients. There are no harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances that can irritate or harm your skin, so there's no reason not to get creative.

Vicodin is the brand name for the popular painkiller, hydrocodone
bitartrate and acetaminophen. Hydrocodone bitartrate is an opioid
analgesic and antitussive, occurring as fine, white crystals or, as
a crystalline powder. The chemical name is:
4,5(alpha)epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan-6-one tartrate (1:1) hydrate (2:5).
Vicodin has the following structural formula:
Source: http://www.ctclconsult.com/pdrdruginfo/html/42201750.htm
In the U.S. there are over 200 products containing hydrocodone,
typically combined with acetaminophen (Vicodin, Lortab).
However, it is also combined with aspirin (Lortab ASA), ibuprofen
(Vicoprofen), and antihistamines (Hycomine). Both tablet and liquid
forms of hydrocodone are available (Tussionex). Other brand names
include Anexsia, CoGesic, Hydrocet, Hy-Phen, Lorcet, Maxidone, Norco,
Panacet, and Zydone. Street names for Vicodin include vikes and
Hydrocodone is in Schedule II of the Controlled Substances Act.
Preparations containing hydrocodone in combination with other
non-narcotic medicinal ingredients are in Schedule III.
Source: http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drugs_concern/hydrocodone/summary.htm
Hydrocodone dates back to the 1920's when Knoll, a German
pharmaceutical company, believed hydrogenizing codeine could make it
less toxic, making it easier on the stomach. As its name implies,
hydrocodone is the codeine molecule with a hydrogen atom attached.
During this time in the U.S., a disturbing percentage of middle class
Americans were hooked on opium derivatives. The government, anxious
for a non-addictive painkiller, gave extensive funding to research
new compounds like hydrocodone.
Source: http://opioids.com/hydrocodone/vicodin.html
Vicodin is a phenathrene-derivate opiate agonist, effective both as
an antitussive (anti-cough) agent, and as an opiate, an effective
analgesic for mild to moderate pain. Five mg of hydrocodone is
equivalent to 30 mg of codeine when administered orally. 15 mg
(1/4 gr) of hydrocodone is considered equivalent to 10 mg (1/6 gr)
of morphine. Hydrocodone is considered to be like morphine in all
Source: DEA: Drug Enforcement Administration
The combination of acetaminophen and hydrocodone is available in
tablet or capsule form, as well as liquid, to be taken by mouth.
Generally, it is taken every 4-6 hours as needed (PRN). The usual
dose of Vicodin is 1 or 2 tablets, up to a maximum of 8 tablets per
day. The usual dose of Vicodin HP® is 1 tablet, up to a maximum of 6
tablets per day. For Vicodin ES®, the usual dose is 1 tablet, up to a
maximum of 5 tablets per day. Vicodin can be habit forming or
addictive, and it is imperative that patients take the medication
precisely as prescribed by their physician.

Vicodin is a semisynthetic narcotic analgesic and antitussive with
multiple actions qualitatively similar to those of codeine. Most of
these involve the central nervous system and smooth muscle. The
precise mechanism of action of hydrocodone and other opiates is not
known, although it is believed to relate to the existence of opiate
receptors in the central nervous system. In addition to analgesia,
narcotics may produce euphoria; drowsiness; lethargy; relaxation;
difficulty in concentrating; decreased physical activity in some users
and increased physical activity in others; mild anxiety or fear, and
pupillary constriction.

Typical side effects of Vicodin therapy include constipation, nausea,
vomiting, drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, stomach pain, and
difficulty urinating.

Less common but potentially hazardous effects include respiratory
depression and mood changes. If you experience either, call your
doctor immediately. Elderly patients are particularly susceptible to
respiratory depression, particularly when Vicodin is used in
conjunction with other CNS depressant medications.

Cautionary Notes:
Use Vicodin with caution if:
If Vicodin is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either
may be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important
to check with your doctor before combining Vicodin with the following:
Any medication taken in excess can have serious consequences. A
severe overdose of Vicodin can be fatal. If you suspect an overdose,
seek emergency medical treatment immediately.
Symptoms of a Vicodin overdose include:
Blood disorders, bluish tinge to skin, cold and clammy skin, extreme
sleepiness progressing to a state of unresponsiveness or coma,
general feeling of bodily discomfort, heart problems, heavy
perspiration, kidney problems, limp muscles, liver failure, low blood
pressure, nausea, slow heartbeat, troubled or slowed breathing, and

Psychic dependence, physical dependence, and tolerance may develop upon repeated administration of vicodin.
Psychic dependence is unlikely when vicodin is used for a short period of time.
Vicodin addiction can develop when continued use of the drug is needed to
avoid withdrawal symptoms. This problem only becomes relevant after
several (2 weeks to 2 months) of continued narcotic use.
Tolerance is when ever increasing doses are required to produce the
same degree of analgesia. Tolerance is initially manifested by a
decreased duration of analgesic effect, followed by decreases in the
intensity of analgesia. The rate of tolerance varies among patients.
Vicodin has an analgesic potency similar to or greater than that of
oral morphine. Generally, this drug is abused by oral rather than
intravenous administration.
When taken as directed, Vicodin can produce physical dependence in a
few weeks time.
According to the FDA, addiction is characterized by compulsive use,
use for non-medical purposes, and continued use despite harm or risk
of harm.
Patients no longer requiring Vicodin, should set a gradual taper
schedule to avoid acute withdrawal.
If a regular Vicodin user abruptly stops taking Vicodin, withdrawal
should begin within six to twelve hours. The intensity of withdrawal
depends on the degree of the addiction, and symptoms are usually not
life-threatening. Typically, Vicodin withdrawal symptoms may intensify
for twenty-four to seventy-two hours and then gradually decline over a
period of seven to fourteen days.
The symptoms of Vicodin withdrawal include but are not limited to:
restlessness, muscle pain, bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea, vomiting,
cold flashes, goose bumps, involuntary leg movements, watery eyes,
runny nose loss of appetite, irritability, panic, nausea, chills, and

Any person using Vicodin for more than several weeks should consult
their medical professional before stopping the drug. Generally
speaking, a gradual weaning off of the drug is optimal and less
traumatic to the user's physical and emotional health. With a
moderate to severe addiction, an in patient detox in a hospital or
medically supervised setting is highly recommended for its
multi-disciplinary approach. The "information age" has
produced numerous on line support forums, popular with many recovering
addicts, useful to some addicts as their sole means of support and for
others, as adjunct therapy. Drug addiction is treatable, with help out

More Information:
Description: Valium withdrawal, effects of Valium, Valium and alcohol, Valium abuse, Valium street names
Valium (C16H13ClN2O), manufactured by Roche, is a benzodiazepene derivative is in the anti-anxiety agent drug class. Chemically, diazepam is 7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one. It is a colorless crystalline compound, insoluble in water and has a molecular weight of 284.74.
Diazepam is the well known generic name for Valium which is in a class of drugs called benzodiazepenes. Other popular "benzos"includes Ativan, Alcelam, Alplax, Alpram, Alprax, Alprazolam Intensol, Alzolam, Anpress, Ansiopax, Pharnax Prinox Ralozam, Tafil, Trankimazin, Tricalma, Zacetin, Zanapam, Zenax, Zolarem, Zoldac, Zoldax and Zotran.
include candy, downers, sleeping pills, and tranks.
Valium is in the anti-anxiety agent class and in Schedule IV of the DEA Controlled Substances Act.
Early in 2004, Valium celebrated its 30th anniversary. After three decades of both appropriate use and inappropriate abuse, the drug has stayed well mired in ongoing controversy. Much of the dispute around the use of Valium is because new prescriptions written in good conscience can turn out to be a problem later. Known generically as diazepam, the drug was widely prescribed in the 1960s and 70s, before its potential for serious addiction was realized.
Valium and chlordiazepoxide (Librium)were introduced in the early 1960s by Roche. These benzodiazepines were lauded as a safer alternative to barbiturates and meprobamate because they were thought to be non-habit forming and less lethal in overdose. Since the late 1960s there has been considerable debate over their side effects, potential for addiction, and abuse.
Valium is prescribed for anxiety disorders and the short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety. Valium is also used to relieve the symptoms of acute alcohol withdrawal; to relieve skeletal muscle spasm; to control involuntary movement of the hands (athetosis), to relax tight, aching muscles; and, with other medications, treat convulsive disorders such as epilepsy.
In acute alcohol withdrawal, Valium provides symptomatic relief of acute agitation, tremor, impending or acute delirium tremens and hallucinations.
Valium is also used as an adjunct prior to endoscopic procedures if anxiety or acute stress reactions are present.
As a long-acting benzodiazepine, Valium is often prescribed to patients withdrawing from shorter-acting benzos, such as Xanax.
Valium tablets are intended to be swallowed whole and are available in the following strengths: 0.2 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg. Valium injectable emulsion is intended for intravenous use only and should never be administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously.
One inappropriate use of Valium is by snorting, which many users will try to minimize the unwanted effects of street drugs, such as cocaine.
Never increase the amount or frequency without your doctor's approval, or take this drug for any reason other than the one prescribed.
The effects of Valium are felt within thirty minutes after oral injestion and one to five minutes after injection. This medicine works by increasing a chemical in your brain (gamma-aminobutyric acid or GABA) that acts as a sedative.
Valium is one of the most slowly eliminated benzodiazepines. It has a half-life of up to 200 hours, which means that the blood level for each dose falls by only one half in about 8.3 days. This makes it an ideal choice for withdrawing off the shorter acting benzodiazepines such as Xanax and Ativan.
This slow elimination of diazepam allows a smooth, gradual fall in blood level, allowing your body to adjust slowly to a decreasing concentration of the drug. With more rapidly eliminated benzodiazepines such as Ativan (with a half-life of 10-20 hours) the blood concentration drops rapidly and withdrawal symptoms can occur between doses, because your body has little time to adjust to low concentrations.
Benzodiazepines act at the level of the limbic, thalamic and hypothalamic regions of the CNS, producing any level of CNS depression including sedation, hypnosis, skeletal muscle relaxation, anticonvulsant activity, and coma. The action of these drugs is mediated through the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Central benzodiazepine receptors interact allosterically with GABA receptors, potentiating the effects of GABA and increasing the inhibition of the ascending reticular activating system. Benzodiazepines block the cortical and limbic arousal that occurs following stimulation of the reticular pathways.
Clinically, all benzodiazepines cause a dose-related central nervous system depressant activity varying from mild impairment of task performance to hypnosis.
Side Effects:
While side effects cannot be anticipated, typical Valium side effects include: drowsiness, abdominal cramps, clumsiness, blurred vision, dry mouth, fatigue, light-headedness, heart palpitations, slurred speech, difficulty urinating, convulsions, hallucinations, amnesia, difficulty breathing, loss of muscle coordination, trembling, headache, and confusion.
If any of your side effects change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Valium.
If you experience any of the following symptoms they should be brought to the immediate attention of your physician.
Cautionary Notes:
Valium intoxication symptoms include, but are not limited to: confusion, diminished reflexes, sleepiness, coma, and death. If overdosage or life-threatening withdrawal is even suspected, seek immediate medical attention.
Side effects due to rapid decrease in dose or abrupt withdrawal from Valium are
abdominal and muscle cramps, convulsions, sweating, tremors, and vomiting.
Fatalities have been reported in patients who have overdosed with a single benzodiazepine, such as Valium, and alcohol, although the blood alcohol levels in some of these patients was lower than those usually associated with alcohol-induced fatality. In other words, alcohol and benzodiazepines is a potentially fatal combination. Again, immediate medical attention is required if this ingestion of this combination is suspected.
Combining Valium with certain other drugs can increase, decrease, or alter its effects. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Valium with:
*Antiseizure drugs such as Dilantin
*Antidepressant drugs such as Elavil and Prozac
*Barbiturates such as phenobarbital
*Cimetidine (Tagamet)
*Digoxin (Lanoxin)
*Disulfiram (Antabuse)
*Fluoxetine (Prozac)
*Isoniazid (Rifamate)
*Levodopa (Larodopa, Sinemet)
*Major tranquilizers such as Mellaril and Thorazine
*MAO inhibitors (antidepressant drugs such as Nardil)
*Narcotics such as Percocet
*Omeprazole (Prilosec)
*Oral contraceptives
*Propoxyphene (Darvon)
*Ranitidine (Zantac)
*Rifampin (Rifadin)
Other Medical Problems:
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of benzodiazepines. If you have any of the following conditions, make sure you discuss your use of Valium with your physician. Examples include:
* Alcohol or Drug abuse or dependence (or history of)
* Brain disease – Benzodiazepine use may increase CNS depression and other side effects
* Emphysema, asthma, bronchitis, or other chronic lung disease
* Glaucoma
* Hyperactivity
* Mental depression
* Mental illness (severe)
* Myasthenia gravis
* Porphyria
* Sleep apnea (temporary stopping of breathing during sleep)
* Epilepsy or history of seizures
* Kidney or liver disease
Dependency and Withdrawal:
Valium depresses the nervous system much like alcohol and is abused by all segments of society.
Valium is both physically and psychologically addicting and as is considered one of the toughest addictions to break. With chronic use, its abuse potential is high. Withdrawal symptoms can be seen after only 2 or 3 days of repeated use.
Tolerance to Valium builds quickly and is the effect of cellular adaptive changes or enhanced drug metabolism. This tolerance develops over days, weeks, or months is a diminished response associated with chronic use of this drug.
All benzodiazepines, even when used as recommended, may produce emotional and/or physical dependence. Valium has the potential to cause severe emotional and physical dependence in some patients and these individuals may find it exceedingly difficult to stop using. It is important that your physician help you discontinue this medication in a careful and safe manner to avoid severe withdrawal.
To abruptly stop Valium after an extended period of use is extremely dangerous and can cause seizures and sometimes death. Discontinuation of the medication must include a physician supervised gradual taper schedule and/or adjunct medications to minimize acute withdrawal.
Essentially, withdrawal symptoms from Valium are like the mirror of its therapeutic effects. Valium withdrawal can produce especially severe withdrawal symptoms similar to those in alcohol and barbiturate withdrawal, including jittery, shaky feelings and any of the following: rapid heartbeat, tremor, insomnia, sweating, irritability, anxiety, blurred vision, decreased concentration, decreased mental clarity, diarrhea, heightened awareness of noise or bright lights, impaired sense of smell, loss of appetite, loss of weight, muscle cramps, seizures, tingling sensation, and agitation. In more extreme cases, typically associated with sudden cessation of the drug, users may experience convulsions, tremor, abdominal and muscle cramps, vomiting and sweating. After extended abuse, abrupt discontinuation should be avoided and a gradual dosage tapering schedule carefully followed.
Obviously, the severity of withdrawal symptoms is directly related to the amount of the drug taken and the length of time over which it has been taken.
Long term Valium users must taper down slowly under a knowledgeable physician's care, or enter a detox center for 24/7 treatment. With a moderate to severe addiction from relatively long term use, an in patient detox in a hospital or medical supervised setting is highly recommended for its multi- disciplinary approach.
However a person chooses to free themselves from the clutches of a drug, there is one constant each needs: Support. Narcotics Anonymous remains a successful choice for many addicts, with world-wide availability. The "information age" has produced numerous on line support forums, popular with many recovering addicts, useful to some addicts as their sole means of support and for others, as adjunct therapy. Drug addiction is treatable, with help out there for everyone.

More Information:
Tobacco is closely related to garden vegetables, flowers, weeds, and poisonous
herbs. Common plants such as potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, petunias,
jimson wood, ground cherries, and nightshade, as well as tobacco, are of
the family of plants called Solanaceae. The genus (sub-group of
Solanaceae) Nicotiana contains about 100 species, only two of which have
been extensively cultivated for use in tobacco products. Of those two,
Nicotiana tabacam, is the type of tobacco used today in smoking and
chewing tobacco and it is the predominant variety of crop tobacco. The
active ingredient, and the addictive substance, in tobacco of any form
is nicotine(C10H14N2).
Source: http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/archives/exhibits/tobacco
Experts believe that, as early as 6000 B.C., the tobacco
plant, as we know it today, began growing in the Americas. Throughout
the 16th and 17th centuries tobacco proliferated
throughout Europe and Asia. Although the negative health effects of
tobacco were documented as early as 1600, it was not until the 1950s
that the United States began regulating tobacco advertising and sales.
Only recently has there been a widespread realization of the dangers of
long-term tobacco use.
Source: http://www.tobacco.org
Tobacco is available in a number of forms including snuff, chewing
tobacco, pipe tobacco, cigars and cigarettes. Tobacco is either chewed,
in the case of snuff and chewing tobacco, or smoked in a pipe, cigar or
cigarette form.
Nicotine is a stimulant and smokers feel that tobacco helps relieve
boredom and tiredness and also helps reduce stress and anxiety. The
effects are almost immediate but fade quickly, which encourages
continual use. Some people may experience nausea and dizziness when they
inhale tobacco smoke for the first few times.
Tobacco use has been conclusively linked to health problems
including, but not limited to, heart disease, stroke, emphysema, blood
clots, cancer, bronchitis, poor circulation and ulcers.
Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of death in the
United States, causing more than 400,000 deaths each year and resulting
in an annual cost of more than $50 billion in direct medical costs. Each
year, smoking kills more people than AIDS, alcohol abuse, drug abuse,
car crashes, murders, suicides, and fires combined.

More Information:
Peyote (Lophophora williamsii) is native to the Chihuahan Desert,
including portions of the Rio Grande Valley in Southern Texas, and as
far south as the state of San Luis Potosi in Mexico. A small, round
cactus with fuzzy tufts instead of sharp spines, it rarely rises more
than an inch or so above the soil surface. The largest part of the
cactus is underground in the long, carrot-like root. The above ground
portion, known as the "button", contains the psychoactive
ingredient. It is cut and can be consumed fresh or dried.
Mescaline is the psychoactive ingredient in Peyote cactus.
Peyote has a long history of medicinal and sacramental use, generally
thought to be about 7000 years. Trade in, and knowledge of, the
psychoactive cactus was well established prior to the European conquest
of Mexico. At that time, Spanish Inquisitors declared its use to be a
crime against God. Native users, believing that the cactus would provide
them with divine guidance and inspiration, became targets of ruthless
evangelism. Peyote has been an item of commerce for a very long time.
Most recently it has been commercially harvested in the state of Texas,
though its sale is now restricted by law to the approximately 255,000
members of the Native American Church (NAC).

Generally, from 4-20 buttons, are eaten or made into tea. 500 mg is
considered a standard hallucinogenic dose of mescaline.
Source: http://www.mescaline.com/exp/index.htm
The effects of Peyote have been described as very dream-like, drifting,
almost a delirium-type state during the first couple of hours. The
sensation is similar to LSD but less edgy. While hallucinations, both
auditory and visual, occur, many users say that a peyote high lends
itself more to inner reflection and contemplation. Much depends on the
potency of the peyote and the blend of mescaline and the fifty some odd
alkaloids contained in cactus.

Physical Dependence: None
Psychological Dependence: Moderate
Tolerance: Mild

Mescaline is a mild to moderately habit-forming substance with no
physical addiction. It should be noted, though, that virtually any
substance can be addictive, to a greater or lesser degree, depending on
the user. It is a generally accepted notion among treatment
professionals that the addiction, whether physical or psychological, is
the problem, not the specific substance. Below are some treatment
programs that may be useful for mescaline users as well as others
seeking help with an addiction:

WASHINGTON, July 17 (UPI) -- U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is putting his office budget on the chopping block after ordering the Pentagon's top brass to cut theirs by 20 percent.
George Little, the Pentagon's press secretary, said Hagel is sharing the pain by cutting his own budget by a like amount, CNN reported Wednesday.
The cuts go into effect in October 2014 and will last until 2019.
Much of the savings will come from a cut in the number of people working for Department of Defense leaders.
"Early estimates indicate that the total savings could be in a range of $1.5 [billion]-$2 billion," Little said.
He added that the cuts will be implemented even if Congress lifts sequester-level budget caps.

Nation's most endangered historic places
By Katia Hetter, CNN • Published 19th June 2013
View Gallery
18 Pictures
America's first permanent English settlement, a military club for African-American officers, an unused airline terminal and Houston's Astrodome have all been labeled "endangered" by the
National Trust for Historic Preservation
The trust's 26th annual list of America's 11 most endangered historic places spotlights significant architectural, cultural and other structures and places at risk of destruction by human or natural forces.
"The listing on the '11 most endangered list' has a tremendous effect in mobilizing constituencies to find a productive way" to save these places and "usher them into their next chapter," said Stephanie Meeks, president and CEO of the nonprofit National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Over the last 25 years, "we've had a 97% success rate" of saving places on the list, Meeks said. Local coalitions "get a big boost and additional support emerges from the shadows when people learn for the first time that a resource is threatened."
Airports where architecture soars
A black officers' club in Arizona, the spiritual center of African-American life in Maine and a general store/residence for Chinese-American laborers in California also made the list this year, a result of the trust's outreach to minority communities "to represent diverse facets of American history," she said.
Anyone can nominate a place for inclusion on the list, she said. Trust employees decide the final list, looking at the national significance of the structure or place, the urgency of the threat facing the place (whether by people or nature) and the possibility of a successful resolution. The existence of a coalition with a plan to save the place also helps.

This workshop is a meeting of the European interest group in game theoretic pragmatics. It brings together leading scientists in the field, and is intended as a forum for the discussion of recent and on-going research.
Is has long been argued that the proper understanding of language use depends on a proper understanding of the principles that govern interaction between rational agents in general. Game theory is the science of interactive decision making. As such, it is the natural foundational framework of linguistic pragmatics. Over the last decade, a firm research community has emerged with a strong interdisciplinary character, involving economists, linguists, mathematicians, philosophers, and social scientists. Within this field of research, three major currents can be distinguished: one is closely related to the Gricean paradigm and aims at a precise foundation of pragmatic reasoning, the second originates in the economic literature and is concerned with the role of game theory in the context of language use, and the third aims at language evolution seen either from a biological or cultural perspective.

Coaches Course in Korea
By World Triathlon Admin on 15/12/09 at 8:06 pm
ITU Sport Development–Korean Triathlon Federation Coaches Courses
Jamsil Olympic Park, Seoul, South Korea - 8 to 13 December, 2009
The Korean Triathlon Federation (KTF) and the International Triathlon Union (ITU) hosted a competitive and beginner coaches' course in Jamsil Olympic Park in Seoul, South Korea, 8th through 13th December 2009.
The classroom sessions were held in the Olympic Park Hotel for the 24 advanced coaches and 40 community and beginner coaches. The swim, bike and run practical venues were located in the Seoul Olympic Park, the site of the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
Park, Chan Ho, Chair of KTF coaching committee said, "It was quite productive and fruitful to learn about triathlon techniques and skills from the world's best coaches."
Ki,Woo Kyong, assistant secretary general of KTF said, "The Korean Triathlon Federation used the ITU coaching course for their coaches coaching the Korean junior and U23 athletes for the future Olympics. The first course targeted Korean coaches who are involved with the education and coaching of National Federation (NF) athletes and the second course is for coaches working with beginners and youth in Korea. The first course integrated sport sciences with triathlon specific preparation, planning and evaluation of the competitive athlete (junior though U23) and second course focuses on skill, program development and communication skills."
Ki also said, "It was a great opportunity for our domestic coaches to learn recent trends of triathlon skill and tactics. Every participant in the course was really happy to participate in the ITU coaching course."
Sergio Santos, Portugal's High Performance Director along with Luc Morin, ePerformance consultant and Canadian coach along with Alan Ley, ITU Sport Development Manager were the presenters at the course.

MyMusicShare is set to launch mobile application for iPhone users that allows them to create music without the need of instruments or a recording studio. The app provides a platform to the budding singers and anyone else interested in creating music to record their songs using the features provided in the app and also share it with the community of like-minded individuals.
Creating music through a recording studio can be a very time consuming and an expensive affair. It requires a lot of work by sound engineers, editors as well as several retakes, rehearsals before the song is all set to release. It often ends up being too heavy in the pocket, especially for the emerging singers who're initially struggling to reach out to the right audience. This is why the new MyMusicShare app is here to revolutionize the music industry by simplifying the process of music production for users.
The app consists of several features such as voice modifications, audio & video effects, loops and sound engineering, that are majorly required for high-quality music recording. Along with that, the app also provides a platform to the users for releasing their music to a community of music lovers who can like, comment and save the song for further listening. In short, this app can provide a kick start to the music career of many talented singers out there, who are bound by limited resources. The user can make music from the app in 4 simple steps,
- Sing a song and record their voice.
- Add instruments/Add loops.
- Make/Edit the video
- Save and share with friends.
After creating a song, the user can release their song into the app and it'll appear on the home page. They can also see songs from other artists based on their preferred language and location. They can sort the songs using 3 main categories, latest, popular and favourites. The user can save the songs they like under the favourite tab for listening in the future. The simple user interface allows the user to manage all their songs easily under their profile section. The user can also see the number of people following them and the number of likes they have received on their song. The app provides a simplified way for the users to become a singing star without spending a fortune on getting their songs recorded.
MyMusicShare is currently running a Kickstarter project with a goal of raising CA$10,000. Using the various perks, the contributors can also obtain subscriptions to this app at a lesser price than the retail price. The funds raised from the Kickstarter campaign will go towards the marketing and distribution of the mobile application.

Fire-damaged cruise ship arrives safely in Malaysia
SANDAKAN, Malaysia -- A luxury cruise ship stranded at sea for 24 hours because of a fire has safely reached a Malaysian port.
The Azamara Quest was adrift off the southern Philippines for 24 hours with 1,000 people aboard after flames engulfed one of its engine rooms Friday night.
It restored propulsion the next night and reached the harbor of Sandakan city in Malaysia's eastern state of Sabah on Borneo island late Sunday.
Police and buses were waiting at the port to take the passengers to a hotel.
Five crew members suffered smoke inhalation, including one who was seriously injured.
It was the latest in a series of accidents hitting luxury cruise liners since January, when the Costa Concordia capsized off the coast of Italy, killing 32 people.

Cider Doughnuts Recipe
After a filling Hannukah meal, no matter how much I've eaten, I always want some dessert at the end. Sadly, I never took to sufganyot, the Sephardic jelly-filled doughnuts traditionally served during the holiday, but I've always, always had a soft spot for homemade doughnuts, especially the apple cider kind.
These are a perfect ending to a late fall celebratory meal. Served warm, the cake donuts are delightfully festive, softly scented with reduced apple cider and dusted with sparkling cinnamon sugar. And if you feel like a whole doughnut will put you over the edge, there's always a doughnut hole waiting.
- Yield:12
- Active time: 1 hour
- Total time:1 hour, 30 minutes
- Rated:
- 1 cup apple cider
- 3 1/2 cups flour, plus additional for the work surface
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- Shortening or vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup sugar mixed with 2 tsp cinnamon in a wide dish
In saucepan over medium heat, gently reduce apple cider to about 1/4 cup by simmering for 20-30 minutes. Set aside to cool. In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
Add butter and sugar to stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Cream on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, continuing to mix until eggs are completely incorporated. Reduce speed to low and gradually drizzle in reduced apple cider and buttermilk, mixing just until combined, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture and continue to mix until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper and sprinkle generously with flour. Turn dough onto one sheet and sprinkle the top with flour. Flatten dough to even 1/2-inch thickness with hands or rolling pin, sprinkling with flour as necessary.
Transfer dough to the freezer until slightly hardened, about 20 minutes. Using 3-inch doughnut cutter, cut out doughnut shapes and donut holes. Place cut doughnuts and doughnut holes onto second sheet pan. Refrigerate doughnuts for 20 to 30 minutes. (You can re-roll scraps of dough, refrigerate them briefly and cut additional doughnuts from dough.)
Add enough oil or shortening to Dutch oven or wok to measure depth of about 3 inches. Attach candy thermometer to side of the pan and heat over medium heat until oil reaches 350 degrees. Line large plate with several layers of paper towels.
Carefully add doughnuts to oil a few at a time, being careful not to crowd pan. Fry until golden brown, about 60 seconds. Turn doughnuts over and fry until second side is golden, 30 to 60 seconds longer.
Drain fried donuts on paper towels. Dip top of the warm doughnuts in cinnamon sugar and serve immediately.

Concerns over the number of students per class took on a new magnitude and urgency last month – and will come even more to the fore next month, when the issue of class size will be on the November ballot.
When the new school year started in September, parents, teachers, and advocates who thought that the public schools were already about to burst found classrooms more overcrowded than ever.
Many elementary school teachers, who last year struggled to meet the needs of 28 or 29 students, are now responsible for 33 or 34. And dozens of overcrowded middle and high schools also find themselves with five or more extra students per classroom. The United Federation of Teachers, the teachers union, claims to have counted over 10,000 classes that violate the union contract's class-size limits, which range from 25 in kindergarten to 34 in high school. The union has filed a formal grievance against Chancellor Klein and the Department of Education for these contract violations.
Reasons for the extreme overcrowding this year include growing enrollments and the effects of the federal No Child Left Behind legislation, which allows students from schools that score poorly on state tests and are labeled "in need of improvement" to seek transfers to better schools throughout the city. Last year, 331 of the city's approximately 1200 schools were so labeled; this year, the list includes 497 city schools--and students at 374 of them are now eligible for transfers.
New York City classes have long been by far the largest in the state, with class sizes averaging 20 to 35 percent over other school districts. This fact contributed to the recent New York Court of Appeals ruling in CFE v. the State of New York (In PDF format) that the students of New York City were being denied their constitutional right to a sound basic education. In that decision, Chief Judge Judith Kaye acknowledged that "New York City schools have excessive class sizes, and that class size affects learning."
Class-size-reduction advocates believe that large classes are the New York City schools' most serious problem. They point to studies that show that smaller classes lead to more individualized attention and improved student achievement, especially for poor and minority students. They contend that smaller classes also foster greater parent involvement, fewer disciplinary problems, and lower drop-out rates.
Soon New Yorkers will get a chance to vote on one potential solution to the city's class-size problem: amending the New York City charter to make smaller classes mandatory by law.
In August, a group called New Yorkers for Smaller Classes, which includes the teachers union and a number of parent and advocacy organizations, submitted a petition calling for a referendum on class size to be placed on the ballot in November. The referendum would ask voters to approve the creation of a city charter revision commission to study the class-size issue and to decide whether a proposition to limit class size should go before New York City voters in the 2004 election.
While few deny the disadvantages of large classes, not everyone supports this type of solution to the problem. Critics of the idea argue that reasonable class size is just one of a number of ingredients necessary for a quality education; they worry that legislating small classes does not ensure and may even jeopardize having enough qualified teachers, adequate school buildings, and the full range of programs that students also need to succeed.
Opponents of the class-size ballot initiative point to Florida's controversial class-size amendment, which was approved by voters last fall. The amendment requires school districts to begin reducing class sizes this year. By 2010, classes can be no larger than 18 in grades pre-K through 3, 22 in grades 4 through 8, and 25 in high school. In a year with limited state funds, however, some believe that teachers' raises, school construction, as well as school programs in art and music have been jeopardized by the class-size mandate. A movement is now underway to scale back the law, though there is doubt whether the still-popular law is vulnerable to repeal.
New Yorkers, however, will vote in November on whether to start the city on the path toward its own class-size ballot initiative. Although last month the city clerk bumped the class-size referendum from the ballot on the grounds that only one charter proposal is permitted per election, and the mayor's charter question on nonpartisan elections had priority under local election law, New Yorkers for Smaller Classes filed suit and prevailed. On October 2, State Supreme Court Justice Louise Gurner Gans put the issue back on the ballot. City officials say they will appeal her decision. In the meantime, though, New Yorkers for Smaller Classes is now preparing for an all-out campaign to win the vote.
Jessica Wolff is a public school parent and director of policy development at the Campaign for Fiscal Equity, a coalition advocating for a sound basic education for students in New York City. The views expressed are her own.

New York, NY - January 5, 2006 - First there was "Peyton Place"...then "Dallas"... and now "Desperate Housewives." America loves those deliciously soapy looks behind the curtains of seemingly perfect worlds. This spring, Bravo will premiere "The Real Housewives of Orange County," a new one-hour docu-series which provides exclusive access to five families who live in one of the wealthiest planned communities in the country. The seven-episode series focuses on five real-life housewives living in a protected Southern California enclave, exposing the excitement, extravagance and everyday drama that exists in their unscripted and unrehearsed lives. "The Real Housewives of Orange County" premieres Tuesday, March 21, 2006 (10:00 - 11:00 p.m. ET/PT). The announcement was made today by Lauren Zalaznick, President, Bravo.
"Bravo continues to innovate in the reality TV genre with this riveting series exploring the complicated daily lives of five privileged women and their families," said Zalaznick. "From Peyton Place to Desperate Housewives, viewers have been riveted by the fictionalized versions of such lifestyles on television. Now, here is a series that depicts real-life 'desperate' housewives with an authentic look at their compelling day-to-day drama."
"The Real Housewives of Orange County" will follow five sophisticated women and their families who lead glamorous lives in a picturesque Southern California gated community where the average home has a $1.6 million price tag and residents include CEOs and retired professional athletes. Orange County "housewives" Kimberly, Jeana, Vicki, Lauri and Jo are used to the good life and will do everything they can to hang on to it. The women each have their own personal story to share, and they've granted Bravo an all-access pass into their lives, families, friendships, careers, and homes. From diamond parties to Botox sessions to the stress of having a high-powered career, the women take viewers along for the ride and into their real-life dramas that show how life isn't always perfect behind the gates. Just what lies beneath the surface of this "perfect" community?
The women mostly live the good life, but also represent the modern-day version of the "happy housewife," which today includes juggling the challenges of a stressful career with a busy family life. These women are sexy, sophisticated, and know how to turn heads, set trends, and keep up appearances in one of the most stylish communities in the country.
- Kimberly Bryant is 40-something and has two kids with executive husband Scott. She's the classic 'Trophy Wife,' thanks to her plastic surgeon and husband's money, but also incredibly articulate and hard-working.
- Jeana Keough is a former Playboy Playmate and actress who is now a 40-something wife of former major league baseball star, Matt Keough. A 19-year resident of her gated community and mother of three teenagers, Jeana also sells real estate "for fun" and the insider gossip.
- Vicki Gunvalson is a successful, self-made, 40-something woman to be reckoned with. She's a lucrative insurance broker, devout Christian, and is married for the second time. She also has two teenagers and is feeling the affects of the looming empty-nest ahead as her youngest gets ready to leave for college.
- Lauri Waring is 40-something and works as an insurance broker for Vicki Gunvalson. Recently divorced and forced to downsize her lifestyle, Lauri is a single mom with three kids (one just released from juvenile hall), struggling to regain her status in the community.
- Jo De La Rosa is the 20-something "newbie" to the community, recently engaged to one of the divorced dads in the community, Slade Smiley. Confident and sexy, Jo is trying to figure out her place in this strange new world.
"The Real Housewives of Orange County" is produced by Kaufman Films and Dunlop Entertainment, and was created by series executive producer Scott Dunlop. Kevin Kaufman, Dave Rupel ("Big Brother 2," "Temptation Island," "The Real World: London") and Patrick Moses are also executive producers.
Bravo is the cable network that plugs people into arts, entertainment and pop culture with original programming, acclaimed off-network dramas, comedy and music specials, movies and by showing a whole different side of celebrities. Currently available in more than 79 million homes, Bravo is known for breaking exciting new personalities, shaking up the way we look at style, media, fame and Hollywood, pulling back the curtain on the creative process and making influential and inventive original programming. Its critically acclaimed and award-winning original programming includes "Inside the Actors Studio," "Project Runway," "Celebrity Poker Showdown," and "Blow Out" as well as the 2004 Emmy winner for Outstanding Reality Program, "Queer Eye." The network's latest hits include "Being Bobby Brown" and "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List."
Bravo is a program service of NBC Universal Cable Entertainment, a division of NBC Universal one of the world's leading media and entertainment companies in the development, production, and marketing of entertainment, news, and information to a global audience. Bravo has been a NBC Cable Network since December 2002 and was the first television service dedicated to film and the performing arts when it launched in December 1980.For more information visit www.bravotv.com.
