How does this compare > to the dosage and type of painkiller you describe taking in your post? Hello Eric: I definitely won't second guess a Physician on this; however, ANY painkiller taken for a long time warrants a second look. First, why is it still necessary -- second, what is the long term implication. IMHO, the dosage cannot tell you the whole story, as proper dosage depends a lot on your body. When the ENT specialist showed me his book on long term effects of drugs, I was totally blown away by it. In Canada, there was absolutely nothing on the bottle to let you know there can be problems down the road. I think some drug stores now issue a pamphlet. In any case, it is worth looking in to Eric. If you can avoid Tinnitus, it is well worth it.

He is still suffering from the after effects of Geoff's "soap on a rope:) All kidding aside, Geoff did a fantastic job here, and we were very happy to have him. We missed you Kat.

Ideally, I'm looking for is a way to use a scanner for a student's ID card. They come to class and swipe their card like you would a credit card. Have a webcam set up that will snap their pic for the ID and for their file. It should track classes and money paid. It should also let the instructor know if it's their birthday or anniversary and if they are late. Outside of that, I may just use a chart. Thank you in advance for your time.

I wish I were able to make it to the Soo this year... it was the plan, but I have twisted my knee and my put my students first. I will definately be at next years Can-Am and am hoping to make it to the promotion ceremony this Nov. >We missed you Kat. >Sincerely, Rudy Hello SJN, with a tear in my eye, I say I miss you all too! ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the EV1 webmail system at mail.ev1.net --__--__-- Message: 6 From: ChunjiDo@aol.com Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2003 23:58:43 EDT To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] Re: USTU dan certs Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net "Is it legit? Sure. The USTU is just giving Dan certs in their position as an NGB. But seems like a Kukkiwon cert would be best, esp as long as the cost is the same. Kukkiwons are good anywhere, USTUs would only be good here in the USA (as I understand it)." i was told that anyone aspiring to the status of international referee must have a KKW cert. a USTU cert wont cut it.
