io_service::run() blocks until all the work is done. However, you can run
io_service in another thread, like this:
boost::thread thread(boost::bind(&io_service::run, &io_service_)); //note
that io_service_ must outlive the thread

then you can use this io_service with any number of timers/sockets - all
their handlers will run in that thread.
