It is known by many names such as "ice," "speed," "meth," "crank," "glass," and others but often has same disastrous results on individual taking drug. It is a white powder that tastes bitter but is odorless in its powdered form. The drug can be snorted, smoked, injected or swallowed to deliver high.

According to mental health workers, police and research scientists, people who use crystal meth include:

•Large numbers of rural and small town poor across North America.

•Some young people in rave and dance scene.

•Some young people who want to lose weight.

•Gay males involved in dance scene or who frequent bathhouses.

Addiction experts say crystal meth first became popular in poor areas of rural North America for a number of reasons. It was a cheap high and, in initial stages of use, it actually gave energy that allowed user to keep working. It was also considered "cool" by young people who did not have big-city connections to other street drugs.

A recent Statistics “Canada survey of teenagers” showed that among those who answered questions about drug use:

•34 per cent had tried marijuana.

•4 per cent had used ecstasy.

Swimming Pool D.I.Y. in 10 Easy Stages

Full Description –

Installing your own swimming pool can be very rewarding and certainly save you a packet. Follow these 10 easy stages and you won’t go far wrong.

Swimming Pool D.I.Y. in 10 Easy Stages Before doing any type of installation it’s going save you a lot of time and hassle if you do as much preparation as possible.

Decide where you want to have your pool, ideally put it somewhere it’s going to have sun on it all day. Consider things like access for a digger or lorries delivering materials, (the easier you make it, cheaper it’s likely to be). Also decide if you want to remove spoil that comes from hole or use it to landscape surrounding garden. It’s worth remembering that there is a huge amount of spoil from average excavation so often it’s better to just get shot of it, especially if you have stony ground.

Make sure you leave yourself enough room around your proposed pool area to install whatever type of terracing you decide to have and if you’re going to fit a security fence in France make sure you have room to leave minimum of 1 mtr all way around pool. The only other thing to make sure of before you start is that you have relevant planning permission to install your pool. In France check with your local Marie first then fill out a “declaration de travaux” if you don’t hear anything from D.D.E. within 45 days of them receiving your declaration and your Marie say’s it’s o.k. you can fit your pool.

Stage1.

Make sure you buy a good quality D.I.Y. pool kit. There’s hundreds of different D.I.Y. pool kits available so try to find one which comes with a set of good installation instructions and someone you can contact if you have any problems. When it arrives check contents of kit to make sure it’s all there before you start.

Stage2.

Mark out hole. Most good kit pools only need a maximum of 50cm (500mm) room all way around them to be able to build them, so if your pool is going to be 4 x 8 mtrs your hole will be marked at 4.5 x 8.5 mtrs. Easy so far, right? Also make sure you mark two centre lines, one down length and one across width. These two lines should be staked at either end well out side area of hole. If you keep these markers you can always check your measurements if you need to. TIP. By keeping hole as small as possible it will mean you have less to backfill.

Stage 3.
