I personally don't care if he doped or not. At that time in cycling it was what everyone else was doing, and you either did it or not. Some say its cheating, but on the other hand I think there is room to say that it's not cheating. Everyone it seems takes something to make them perform better.... coffee, sugar, tea, vitamins, prozac, pain killers, placebos of all sorts. I truly could care less about this report all these years later. He has done more good than harm and when we look back in a year no one is going to even remember if he was stripped or not and it's not going to matter. I'm not sure its ok to judge him today on what was OK back then. To me, it sounds like he was right on the line, and just one step ahead of the anti-doping agencies. I understand they can look back now and see that he had substances that are now banned and he didn't play by the sport of the rules, but on the other hand they are going after him for things that were not illegal back then but they found later. So for me, Livestrong has provided me and many I know with much more than him ever winning in his personal endeavors. Saving lives is what matters to me, not this ongoing witch hunt.
LOL. Appeasement to the public or just a yearly meeting to say they thought about it? When it comes to this type of thing, the folks that get money from PLAN usually don't want to be identified, and will usually say, well, I can't choose who wants to give me money, and its not a requirement. I do agree that there are all sorts of groups that it would be good to know from, this groups just tends to have clearer goals internally and has more money that just about all of the other groups put together. There is more money put into this election at the city council level than in any election cycle in any city within 1500 miles of here. Las Vegas, and possibly Colorado Springs may come close. I'm all for transparency on all sides.
You can test for active THC vs. metabolites, so you are confusing whether you are high right now vs. whether you smoked in the last X days.
Every job I have worked at, all corporate allow drinking a beer at lunch, in fact many of the people I work with take everything from muscle relaxers, to prozac (and similar medicines) to calm them down. I also work with many people that take things like Ritalin and Dexedrine. You are not always 100% yourself going into work, no one is. Maybe a rough meal?
So when you say this, I think the general rule applies from the places I've worked. Drink a beer, and come back to work. That's. Take whatever other drugs you take, and as long as you are ok to work, work.
Understand the tests and how they are different.
Look at it through the prism of we work to live and not live to work. If some person wants to smoke instead of drink a beer, then great. I happen to not like to do either before work, but I certainly don't say a word and neither does our manager or their manager because its not looked down upon.
These are metal poles, not wooden poles, so I think that is the issue. I can understand wood poles with a banner hanging in such a way to catch the west wind that we get sometimes this time of year, but otherwise in general, a flag on a large metal pole which they paid extra for isn't going to hurt the pole and I'm sure that Xcel is just trying to make sure the lawyers are happy, if not even trying to get more money out of the deal.
That sucks. What can you do, at least they're safe, but its amazing how quickly things can go wrong. I know many folks have trouble finding the cash and even the want to get a fire extinguisher and to have more than one in a closet. Next to the furnace, next to the dryer, in the kitchen (make sure its chemical, and also don't forget baking soda and flour are pretty good), so you may not have to use it nightly. One for the garage space, and if you have an outhouse, or grill, it doesn't hurt there. Never hurts to be ready.... You never know when you'll need it.
I am curious about more of the details. Regardless, when the Doc's tell you not to drive, I've usually only had Dr's say that when they were right on about the meds, especially if you have never taken them before.
It's clear there was some vandalism. I don't know what everything is made of, but I do know that wires strung in the woods tend to break for a variety of reasons. Either way, I like it. I don't view it through the eyes of any religion myself, as that would be an annoying conversation in my head. I do enjoy the spirit. Maybe its time to put it back to a peace sign for awhile. At least until the elections are over. Actually scrap that, that's worse. I don't want to think about the elections.
Sounds like a great program to me!
Right! If its worth money, they'll lease it. Why sell it only once?
