Jennifer Lopez 's performance of her current single "Live It Up" on Britain's Got Talent earlier this week drew some complaints from viewers, who thought it was too sexy for a family oriented show. But speaking to England's BBC Radio 1 , J-Lo defended her performing attire as being something that many artists rock on stage.
"It was a bodysuit," she said of her skintight, high-cut outfit, which she paired with thigh-high boots and stockings. "I think a lot of performers wear those these days. It's stage clothes. I'm not gonna walk down the street like that!" When asked if she was wearing anything under her outfit to "prevent a wardrobe malfunction, she said, "Sure. Absolutely."
During that same interview, J-Lo admitted that she used to hate performing her first hit, "If I Had My Love," because she got so sick of playing it, but now that she's rearranged it as an acoustic number, she enjoys it again. She also revealed that while she can't remember the last time she did her own laundry, it wasn't too long ago that she actually a) called a plumber and b) went to the grocery store.

Chicks Falling Over
Featured Stories on BackYard Chickens
It could be a vitamin E deficiency. You could try giving them Vitamin E with Selenium to help absorb the E. Even some liquid vitamins in the water might help. If that doesn't help that you might be looking at Mareks disease. Try the vitamin thing first and see if this doesn't fix them up. Vit E has a lot to do with balance and coordination. Good luck with your babies.
- Love Comes with Feathers
I noticed that when my hens were chicks, they would always be running around then suddenly stop and tip forward. They were just sleeping. Babies need to nap a lot, perhaps that's what's happening with your chick. Maybe she just falls to the side instead of forward.

How do you test for Mareks? Will my vet know what I'm talking about when I ask? My young chikens are doing the same thing and stumbling around like they are drunk.. the vet has seen them 3 seperate times and has now provided 3 seperate medicines after discovering Giardia in their stool.. it's been suggested that due to their symptoms this is only ONE problem with them.. until I read this post I thought only my chickens were walking funny..
let this be the year they lay golden eggs!
let this be the year they lay golden eggs!
What is the best way to get the vitamin into the chicks?
Most feed stores carry powdered vitamins you put in the water. Make a fresh batch of water every day.
We have been mixing up "Sav-a-Chic" for the past two days. How long does it usually take for them to heal.
If it is a vitamin issue it shouldn't take more than a week to see some improvements. I have a female quail that had tremors, balance issues and neurological problems for months before I figured out that vitamins ease these conditions. She had cocci really bad in the brooder and took a long time to recover. But as long as she gets her vitamins 3 times a week, she does just fine.
I hope this works for you. Let me know if it does work on your chicks as I am curious about how vitamins do affect this coordination troubles and it will help me work with my quail also. Thanks.
So could i feed them like Apricots or sunflower seeds. I searched and sunflower seeds is the highest source of vitamin E.
Any foods that are high in vit E would be great to feed. You don't want to feed them too much that they don't eat their regular feed as that will cause them to lack in other vitamins. So vitamins in the water are always best. But you can up the E by feeding high E foods along with vitamins. Nothing will hurt at this point.
If they don't improve after one week, it may to due to something else, however if they haven't become deathly ill and are still able to eat and drink I would still suspect a vitamin or mineral issue.

are you kidding me, cristinac? :D
why yes, yes I am

are you kidding me, cristinac? :D
bland fluffy Balder and silky horny Odin
I love drawing animals D:
Dear readers, if you hate talking animals, avert your eyes! this story is about things like that. In particular, about a talking rat named Charles.
Chapter 1: Introduce Yourself, Charles!
Hullo! my name is Charles Xavier and this is my sister, Raven. as you can see, Raven is a Mutant! that's why she's blue.
Today, I graduated from my degree in genetics! I hope to use my knowledge to help people understand more about people like me!
In the future, Mutants became accepted by everyone!
I dream of a day when people and talking animals (and mutants) can co-exist together in harmony!
But sadly, talking animals (especially rats) are not really accepted by the public. (although I heard of one that had a successful career as a chef!)
But one day, I met someone like me.
I was in a cruise with Raven when I saw a shark drowning! he was yelling something in German and trying hard to pull something out of the water.
I couldn't believe my eyes! Someone like me!
So I shook off my coat and dove in to save him!
Also: you can hover your mouse over a bold word to read some extra notes! Hello guys! This is possibly the last big adventure of Charles the rat, glad you stucked around! I had fun drawing the animals. The moral lesson is: I don't want rats cooking my food.
Erik! let go of the submarine!
to @cuckoolander on why charles is a mouse
HI! it's because he is seems short next to michael fassbender haha and no actually because contrast is too visually good for me to pass out 8Db
EDIT: HE'S A LABRAT I can't believe I forgot, did I draw it subconsciously? can't help it! he's so mousy

Jennifer's path to real estate began in Washington, DC as a sales representative for The Washington Post. She taught realtors how to write effective ad copy for the newspaper. Jenn was soon recruited by an ABC-TV station where she launched a series successful real estate ad campaigns. On her days off, she spent her time running marathons and ultimately, the more temperate climate of San Francisco proved to be an irresistible draw. Jenn relocated to San Francisco and has never looked back.
Jenn arrived in San Francisco in the beginning of the internet boom. She quickly became a Director of Business Development for Excite@Home. At the time it was one of the largest internet companies. In her spare time, Jenn coached athletes to compete in their first marathons. When the internet bubble burst in 2001, Jenn applied the sales skills she learned in media and high tech with the attributes of an athlete to launch her career in residential real estate.
San Francisco real estate has proven to be a great match for Jenn's talents. Her success in business has been built on strong repeat and referral business. She enjoys carving out just the right deal to bring buyers and sellers together. Always wanting to stay ahead of the game, Jenn persists in finding new and innovative ways to market her clients' properties.
Giving back to the community has been a foundation of her career whether chairing the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC or supporting San Francisco's EARN nonprofit to help low income workers find new paths of prosperity. Most recently, Jenn has become a supporter of the San Francisco Boys and Girls Clubs.

Ratings & Reviews
Jenn helped us in buying a short sale condo. This deal was so challenging that we were in escrow for 6.5 months before closing the deal. During that time, there must have been at least one potential "deal killer" situation every month. Jenn never got flustered, always sought creative options, and always negotiated hard to help us avert the crises. I can honestly say that without her assistance, the deal didn't have a chance of closing.
What makes Jenn unique among agents:
1) Always honest and sincere (very rare in this business) 2) Amazing calm and tenacity in difficult situations 3) Actually reads all the documents and filters most of the paper work on your behalf 4) Extremely responsive - she answers 99% of text messages and emails within 5 minutes. 5) Very knowledgeable about real estate process. Whenever something went wrong - and in our process, every possible challenge was thrown at us - Jenn always knew the best course of action and could assess the implications
I typically think real estate agents don't add enough value to justify the commission, but in this case, Jenn was worth at least double what she was paid. Our deal was not very big, but she still dedicated 100% to it everyday for 6 months. If you seek a true advisor and "closer" as an agent, I would recommend Jenn without reservation.… MoreLess
My parents hired Jenn to market their home in San Francisco this summer. Unfortunately, buyers mistakenly believe they can buy their dream homes in San Francisco for a song. Not! Location, location and location. Quality, quality and quality. When you combine great location with exceptional quality in a lovely place like San Francisco's waterfront, nothing can be had for a song -- which is how it should be and is!
Anyway, Jenn was able to help my parents lease their home to someone who turns out to an excellent tenant.… MoreLess

of love and true happiness.

|(via enzoeguaras)
The Day Before the Test Think positive. A good attitude is a powerful thing. You can do this. Be confident in your abilities. It will boost your energy and drive to succeed. Don't cram. Nothing sticks anyway. The night before the test, try to get into test mode: calm, confident and ready. Gather what you need the night before. You'll need your admission ticket, directions to the test location, a valid form of photo identification, several no. 2 pencils, a working calculator, a watch and if you like, a small snack and something to drink to keep your energy up during the test (check beforehand to make sure your testing location allows outside food; some locations may offer snacks or drinks). Eat a healthy meal the night before your exam. You want to be energized and at your best the day of the test. Go to bed early. You want to get a full eight hours of sleep the night before your test so you're rested and alert, not drowsy and lethargic. The Day of the Test Give yourself extra time the morning of the test. You want to be awake and relaxed. Set your alarm to go off a little early to ensure you have enough time and don't have to scramble to get ready. This will also allow for you to get to the testing facility on time. Eat a healthy breakfast. Again, you want to be energized. But don't eat too much; you don't want to be uncomfortably full when you take the exam. Dress in layers. Be prepared for different temperatures. You don't want to be distracted by being too cold or too hot while taking the test. Use a soft lead no. 2 pencil. One with a good eraser. Don't use a mechanical pencil or ink pen. Read instructions carefully. Don't skip over them. Different sections can have different procedures, so make sure you read the instructions for each one. Read each question carefully. Sometimes the correct answer to a question hinges on a single word, so read each question in its entirety. Pace yourself. Don't go too fast; you could overlook important details. And don't go too slowly. You could be forced to rush at the end due to insufficient time. Answer the easy questions first. It will set a good pace. You can go back and answer the more difficult ones later. Answer difficult questions through the process of elimination. On questions you don't know, eliminate as many options you know are incorrect as you can so you increase your odds of choosing the correct response. Use your test booklet for scratch paper. You may need room to scribble things out before making an answer, and you DO NOT want to doodle on your answer sheet. Answer every question. Most college entrance exams are multiple-choice and scored on the number of questions you answer correctly, so guessing doesn't hurt; it's better than leaving the question blank. Most exams count wrong answers as only a fraction of a point off, which is something else to think about. Review your work. Check for any unanswered questions you may have skipped over and revisit questions you struggled with to recheck your work. Mark your answers neatly. Completely erase any markings you don't want and make sure all of your answers are filled in completely. Listen for the five-minute-remaining mark. If you still have a lot of questions remaining, focus on those you feel most confident about. When told "pencils down"—listen. Be sure to stop marking on the test right away. Marking after the time has been called is grounds for dismissal, and your test will not be scored. Take a deep breath. You deserve it—you're done!

"We'd like to welcome everyone to a new feature we're working on here at The 1st Five: Some Kind Of Illuminati. The independent music scene has plenty of websites and 'zines designed to capture bands playing "stripped down" and "raw" versions of their songs, which usually just means "acoustic versions" of songs. And while that is all well and good, we've always felt that acoustic renditions of songs that were designed to be played loud are never accurate representations of a band. Furthermore, live footage of a band can usually be pretty hit or miss in terms of quality and representation of what the band is doing as a whole. We promise the vocals will be louder next time.
What we are trying to do is do a "full immersion" into covering bands and artist. We're trying to spend some time with bands and get a general idea as to how the band exists and the characters that make up the group. On top of that, we're trying to capture bands playing songs in an environment that allows them to accurately portray their music in a live atmosphere. No loud songs reworked for an acoustic setting, and no bad footage bogged down with stage dives and poor venue lighting
The plan is to expand this project beyond just bands and music, and to cover all different kids of art and production. This is an ongoing project that we are constantly revamping and reworking, but, at the core, we think the final project will turn out to be pretty cool.
Sometimes, you can watch a band in a basement or at a poorly attended show in an art space somewhere, and you just get this feeling that they are doing something inherently special. It's an indefinable quality that not many bands have, but, Asheville, NC's Old Flings certainly have "it." Maybe its the extremely personal, heart-on-the-sleeve approach to their record, maybe it's the way that the band mix a nostalgic alternative rock sound with a modern DIY punk approach. Whatever "it" is, Old Flings have it." - thefirstfive.com
Recently did an interview with Zac Hobbs of thefirstfive.com. Pretty cool feature.

To sleep? Perchance to sleep?
June 19, 2008
Dear Type A personality, what helps you ward off insomnia?
One of my best friends has terrible insomnia. She's had it on and off her entire life, and recently it's been ON. Here are the facts:
On the plus side
1. She has a very healthy lifestyle: no drugs, very little alcohol, good eating habits, regular exercise.
On the con side
1. She just started a new job, which she loves, but it's a very high pressure job with real life or death consequences for the people she's helping, and she's very worried about doing well at it, making the right decisions, and making a good impression on her boss.
2. She has a tendency to knock herself down, especially when she can't get sleep. She sees having insomnia as a personal failing, which she knows is stupid, but it's a little voice she can't get rid of. Obviously that keeps her awake as well.
3. There's a good chance it's genetic, as her father (now deceased) had the same thing.
4. She takes Adovan occasionally for insomnia-related anxiety (I'm skeptical of this; I don't know if it's really indicated for that).
5. She's a Type A and also really not into the feel-good New Age stuff about mindfulness, meditation, yoga. Believe me, I've tried to bring this up with her.
Sigh. I personally think the major issue here is her crazy idea that insomnia some kind of moral failing, since she just starts hating on herself when she can't fall asleep and that exacerbates the issue. Obviously it would also be nice to get her to sleep in the first place.
Pharmacologically, I know some people take melatonin, and I've thought of recommending this to her, though I've never used it myself. Have any of you had luck with that?
So I guess there are a couple questions here: what do you do, in terms of drugs/sleep aids you take and things you do? How do you stop this cycle of late-night self hate?
Thanks! Looking forward to replies.

Ativan, and many other benzodiazepines, are absolutely indicated for anxiety and occasional insomnia. I'm surprised she doesn't have Klonopin but meh. If she's only taking it 2-3 times a week tops then she'll probably be fine and not get addicted.
The main thing you could do to help is to STFU already. She doesn't need her friends criticizing her method of handling insomnia. You're only adding to the stress in her life.

If this is adding to the cycle - e.g. she can't sleep, so she worries about not being able to sleep, so she can't sleep more frequently - perhaps she should see a doctor about trying some sleep meds.
While doctors say that you should beware becoming dependent on any drug, only regular ambien use really runs the risk of creating a dependency. If she's concerned about it though, she can try Rozerem, Sonata, or Lunesta, all of which have much shorter half-lives.
If she is changing her sleep cycle, it is vital to have a schedule that she sticks to, even if she can't sleep. E.g. she goes to bed
every night
at the same time. She should also remove all distractions from the bedroom or the bed area. If she's like me, she probably plays on her computer, watches movies and reads books in bed. This is really bed if you suffer from insomnia and it is important to stop doing any of those things in bed. Basically, she's trying to train her brain to let her fall asleep and having a regular time of doing it and not associating her bed with doing other stuff like, say, watching movies, is important.

Does she want help? I am a Type-A (A+, many days) personality, and I like my life. I don't understand the late-night self hate thing, are those in the words of your friend?
Not new-age or drugs, but it helps to be able to write everything down at the end of the day. Before I go to sleep, I make a list of what I need to do, personally & professionally, the next day. That gets it out of my head, and makes it more concrete.

When I go through phases of this the most useful thing for me is to remove the time references from my environment. I check the clock, see that it's time to go to bed and then throw a sweatshirt over it or something. My biggest driver is not having enough time to get rested leading to failures when I need to be on the ball, it's an ugly cycle.

I have a brain that just won't shut up, and here's what usually helps me:
1. Regular bedtime.
2. Like kellyblah, I write a list of the major things I need to do the next day. I do that by the computer, not in bed.
3. Dark Time: No computer or other bright lights starting 1 hour before bedtime (at least). This means dimming the house lights, no TV, reading only by dim light. Books on tape are great.
4. Melatonin 1/2 hour before bedtime.
5. Read pleasant historical fiction and nothing else in bed. If I think of something business-related, I tell the voice recorder or jot it down, then immediately turn my attention back to the book. (Otherwise I lie awake thinking, "Don't forget that idea!")
6. If I'm still revving, cornsilk tea--it makes me high and mellow.
7. If I haven't fallen asleep within 1-2 hours, Ambien. This means my use is occasional (1x/week) and I haven't had any problems.
If she's having trouble with excessive self-criticism, I'd suggest cognitive therapy.

kellyblah -- good question; I didn't really make that clear.
Yes, she's both described the late-night self-hate thing as such and has described the "insomnia as a moral failing" as crazy. All the phrases noted here are her words, not mine. She called me at 3 am today and explicitly asked for my help with this. Believe me, I'm no Yenta.

Ok, with that update, yes, she needs to sort out that self hating thing, first. Until she does that, be it via talk therapy, CBT, or self-affirmations of some sort, the other stuff may not help much. Her insomnia isn't the issue, it is her perception of the insomnia. Once she gets right with that, then the regular bedtime, wind down, write down stuff may fix her up without drugs.
As for taking drugs in the meantime, benzos might help, seroquel may help, and trazodone may help as well.

I tend to get very negative late at night, especially if I can't sleep. What has really helped was to change my attitude about what constitutes a night's sleep. If I get in bed 7 hours before I need to wake up, and I spend an hour just laying peacefully and then waking up every 2 hours, I still count it as a net positive. In other words, rather than tripping out on how much it sucks that I'm not sleeping, I give myself credit for getting rest. I've found that once I defuse the anxiety about not sleeping, I sleep a lot better overall.

I was on Seroquel a few months ago (in my case for bipolar stuff as well as sleep stuff). Its mechanism for inducing sleep is pretty much identical to cheap counter sleep-aids (histamine h1 receptor antagonism). The over the counter sleep aids also have the advantage of not interfering with your glucose metabolism, causing weight gain and increasing your risk of diabetes. It didn't do much for me in terms of sleep after the first couple of weeks of constant exhaustion. Interesting side effects, too. Taking powerful psychotropic medications for sleep is, in my opinion, an incredibly bad idea.
I also took temazepam (a benzodiazepine) for a couple of weeks, by the end of which I'd become completely tolerant to its effects. In my experience, medications for sleep don't tend to work very well.
The moral failing thing does make me wonder if she has insomnia or a circadian rhythm sleep disorder. I spent years thinking my inability to get to sleep and hence to wake up in the mornings was down to laziness, because that's what I was accused of constantly when I was a teenager. Maybe she's just a night owl (AKA delayed sleep phase syndrome) and her non-insomniac periods are times when she has this better controlled, or when circumstances allow more flexibility in sleep/wake times.

Ooh, I'm a type A - started a new job a few months ago. Am intimately familiar with what my street looks like at 2am in the morning, because I'm staring out my window wondering about the 45 things I have to do that are drowning me.
I have either a notepad or my laptop next to my bed. I find that when I can't sleep I'm usually worried about something undone, or forgetting something, and what I need to do is pop open my calendar and slot into my calendar either stuff I need to do, or slot in time to think about what I am going to do about something. For me it's about emptying my head. That takes anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, just draining all of that out of my head....but afterwards while I don't feel I've solved the problems, I know I've slotted times for myself to deal with them.
I'm also usually pissed with myself for not 'living life well', so also slot in times to call family, or rend movie.
After that I usually turn on bbc world news on the radio, imagine I'm in a very safe, cozy cafe overhearing an interesting conversation going on, and usually then can fall asleep within 20 minutes.

I have also suffered from this type of insomnia for most of my life. I have it (mostly) cracked with the help of a few sleep-aids:
1. Light-blocking drapes. Completely block off every chink of light, so you can't obsess over the "it's getting light and I'm still not asleep" moments. Plus it increases your melatonin levels, sleeping in a darkened room.
2. An MP3 player with a sleep-timer set to one hour, reading you a story at bedtime. Much less stimulating than reading a book yourself. A really good audiobook has the narrator doing different voices for different characters - so much fun! My favorites are lightweight-and-funny or familiar works of fiction.
The Lord of the Rings
, Terry Pratchett's discworld novels,
Winnie The Pooh
. The more you listen to them, the more you discover little bits that you missed previously and drift off to sleep thinking about those and not
what a loser you are
what you should have said to your manager at the time
3. When I don't seem to be drifting straight off, I use the Bach Flower essence,
Rescue Remedy sleep spray
, coupled with a lavender-water pillow spray. I was sceptical about this stuff at first, but it seems to work. The lavender water is a special treat - again, I was sceptical but it seems to work.
4. If all else fails (which it rarely does), a couple of Tylenol are probably less addictive and just as effective as the pharmaceutical sleep aids.

i think she should see a sleep specialist. there are tons of different remedies out there, but a sleep clinic can help set her up with the ones best suited to her type of insomnia.
most major medical centers have sleep specialists in their neurology departments. they interface with psychologists, psychiatrists, and respiratory therapists for patients with anxiety (like your friend), or apnea, or a neurological short-circuit, or whatever.
one thing she can do before making an appointment is keeping a sleep diary for two weeks. (
here's one
she can print out.) it's basically a 24-hour chart where you mark your hours of sleep, waking, naps, caffeine, alcohol consumption and medication. i also mark exercise, and i found it helpful to divide it into quarter hours. she may also want to mark her anxiety level when she feels it.
this will help give the sleep specialist a good look at her specific type of insomnia (there are many kinds).
another good resource is the book
say good night to insomnia
. it's basically the same program every sleep specialist follows and is worth checking out.

, you seem to be implying that Seroquel is Benadryl but with horrible side effects. That is not the case.
posted by
on June 19, 2008
sondrialiac: The mechanism by which benadryl and seroquel work their sedative effects is the same - histamine h1 antagonism. Seroquel affects a number of different receptors, but its dose-response curve is steeper for h1 antagonism than for dopamine and adrenergic receptors. So at low-ish doses, its sedative effect is much more prominent than its anti-psychotic effects. Typical doses for sleep problems range from 25mg to 150mg. An effective dose for acute psychosis (eg. effective dopamine antagonism) is typically up around 800mg.
At low doses it's fairly similar in effect and mechanism to the anti-histamine sedatives. Not identical, but similar. I'd be interested to see a study comparing the two. A quick search on pubmed doesn't seem to reveal any.
The side effects aren't necessarily horrible, but it's fairly well established that seroquel along with some of the other atypical antipsychotics often causes weight gain and can increase the risk of diabetes. At the doses usually used for sleep problems this may not be such a problem and other side-effects will be less likely. However, weird side-effects can and do happen - akathasia is no fun at all, for example.
I'm not a doctor or a pharmacologist, and I have no regrets about trying Seroquel out (I stopped because it paradoxically made my sleep problems worse), but as a well-informed patient I don't think anti-psychotics should be taken without some convincingly good reasons. The evidence for using them as sleep aids doesn't strike me as particularly convincing.

My sleep-deprived friend says a big thanks thinkingwoman & PatoPata for the thoughtful and detailed responses. And thanks everyone for taking the time to read my long post and for the great recommendations. She'll definitely check out Say Goodnight to Insomnia and try the sleep calendar, as well as the de-stress method of writing everything down pre-bedtime. After that, on to the sleep specialists.

She sounds like me and I've had great luck with Lunesta. Shuts the old brain right off so I can crash. Also, same bedtime every night, no TV in the bedroom, no computer one hour before bed, no eating or exercise about three hours before, but don't go to bed hungry.

melatonin. Much more effective (and quicker!) than the regular kind.
2. Warm-to-slightly-hot bath before bedtime.
3. No vigorous workouts after, say, 9:30-10:00 at night.
4. If you find yourself lying awake more than a half hour, get up and read something at least moderately challenging, something that demands that full focus and concentration in order to follow the material.

I know its late in the thread but I'm always ready to chime in on insomnia.
I'm really hard in myself about not sleeping too, and knowing that I have decided not to be hard on myself about taking what I need in order to sleep.
I take Ambien (after especially stressful days) or Xanax (on days of my usual low-grade anxiety) just about every night, except for rare periods of a week or more when for some mysterious reason, the stars are aligned and I can sleep with no pharmaceuticals. Someday, I expect the stars to align more consistently and to need pills less often. For now, I'm happy to sleep like a normal person for a while.
I've been warned repeatedly by doctors, counselors, and friends that these drugs are for short term use only, would lead to dangerous dependence if I took them longer than a few days, and I really should get myself on an antidepressant to get at "the root of the problem." Except for one thing: I'm not depressed. Just somehow the med-pharma complex has decided that some little white pills should be given out like candy, others like really expensive candy that you have to beg for.
In any case, the long and short of it is that taking Ambien or Xanax all these years (about 5 now) has not made me more or less able to sleep when I stop taking them. If I haven't been taking them and I decide for one more night not to take them, I don't sleep, and if I have been taking them and I decide to stop taking them, I don't sleep. All those shrinks/doctors/friends with all the advice just haven't experienced insomnia.
I have succeeded, during less stressful times in my life, in cutting my dosages of these drugs gradually until I could cut them out altogether. More evidence that they are no more addictive than any number of pills people take for chronic conditions.
Writing, hot baths, reading by candlelight or low light are all good supplements. A large cup of hot, foul-smelling Valerian tea has sometimes been enough to put me to sleep. I had a boyfriend once who would talk in an incredibly boring way about the history of marijuana legislation, and that put me to sleep a couple of times. Sleep is all about a sensation of inner contentment and security, and some of us have less of it than others.
I've thought about sleep clinics, but I think they mainly deal with sleep apnea. Let us know if your friend finds a good one. Hope this helps.

Do z math: "Most adults require seven to nine hours of sleep a night," says Dr. Emsellem. Since constant catch-up can make it hard to determine exactly how much your body needs, figure it out on your next vacation, when you're miles away from your alarm clock and jam-packed schedule. "You should reach a point where you're going to bed at the same time, rising at the same time, and feeling rested," says Clete Kushida, MD, PhD, director of the Center for Human Sleep Research at Stanford University. "That's your optimal sleep length." Once back home, make it a goal to stick to that amount, since skimping even a little can have a huge effect on your mood and concentration: "Studies have shown that if you cut back by about an hour just for one night, your alertness decreases by up to one-third," says Dr. Kushida.

Because the world can be unpredictable, religion was also a dominant force in their lives. Indian religious beliefs and practices influenced all aspects of their everyday existence, from educating children to building homes, farming, hunting, warfare, and medicine.

Blood Pressure Testimonials
have been hospitalized with 295/235 BP. I've had several doctors
tell me that I am among the most difficult BP patients they've ever
had to treat. I'm not proud of that fact, but there it is. I have
a strong family history of high BP, killing family members with
heart attacks and strokes going back several generations. I posted
this info about 10 months ago on the chat line and a pilot responded,
telling me that he had had this problem, too, but began using Aroma
Life blend. After about a year of doing that, one day he was at
the doctor, and the doctor told him he didn't need to use BP meds
any more. Taking this to heart, I began rubbing Aroma Life on my
chest morning and evening, and anytime I felt stressed. I still
took my meds, but found that my energy level was dropping - and
discovered so was my BP drastically! I cut my meds in half, taking
them every OTHER day, and continued with the Aroma Life. I have
continued with this regimen now for about 8 months, and only once
or twice have I taken pills every day for a week - such as when
I'm under great stress and know my body will need a boost. But I
far prefer using the oils to taking prescriptions! Hope this helps.
Julie D.
blood presure was up and the doctor gave me a month to watch it.
During that month I checked it and it got as high as 156/117. My
friend introduced me to the oils. Another said to watch out for
hydrogenated oils in food. HA! It was in everything. Even the natural
whole grain bread I was eating! I felt so good with Lavender on
my feet (heart point) and wrist. I continued with it faithfully.
My next check up for my blood presure was normal, 110/85. The doctor
looked very suprised and asked if I was taking any drugs... I love
had wonderful success controling high blood pressure with the oils.
The combination I use the most is to put 3 drops each of Lavender,
Marjoram, and Ylang Ylang in my left palm, mix clockwise 3 times
and then apply to the soles of both feet. Sometimes I put a little
of the oil left on my hand to the insides of my wrists as well.
This is especially good at bedtime. Other people might apply it
to the neck/carotid artery area as well, and I do too once in a
great while. However, my skin is too sensitive to do this very often.
I have found most other people do just fine putting oils on their
neck, etc. I do use some of the other oils for BP as well. I've
found Spearmint, Valarian, and Endoflex also lower BP for me. I
also apply Valor to my feet and shoulders after a shower, and it
helps with many things including BP. I do not use all of these oils
every day. I find that varying the application and oils works better
than using the same ones every time, and because the oils are not
medicine, I don't have to stick to a time table. By using the oils,
I am able to stay off medication, and this is very impotant to me.
My BP does vary, but I check it regularly and if it starts to go
up, I just apply oils, take a few deep breaths, and it comes right
down. I love these oils!!!
have had excellent results with the Powermeal. My doctor wanted
to put me on BP meds last year and I asked her to wait until I try
some of our products. I started the Powermeal, using Ylang Ylang
and lemon as well. The oils on my feet and wrists daily when I thought
of it. I had the Powermeal only once a day. In a little over a month,
my blood pressure went down to normal. I believe it was way over
140/115. Not good. I got cocky during the summer and stopped the
Powermeal and my BP stayed the same for some time. But toward the
end of the year it went up again. So I started taking the PM again
and the blood pressure went down again. This time in only a week.
I will never be without my Powermeal again! Oh, BTW, I still use
the Ylang Ylang, but only a couple of times a week. I use the Lemon
more often. Hope this is of help,

History of Escalante City, Philippines
Escalanted was founded in 1875 amd it was incorporated in 1903 with Alfred Luther as President of the town board. Many of the founding families men have served as elected officials and there have been two women Mayors. Unfortunately, town records prior to 1940 have been lost or destroyed with the exception of a copy of the first town ordinances posted February 12, 1904. (This article from: escalantecity.org)
Originally, the town was known as Manlambus, a Visayan term meaning to strike with a club because its coastal waters were then teeming with fishes that catching them could simply be done by using a club or lambus.
It is believed that Escalante was inhabited since 11th A.D. per artifacts unearthed by Siliman University Anthropological Team in 1975-76. It was created a municipality on November 28, 1856 on orders of Gobernador Manuel Crespo, with Nueva Sevilla (now Old Poblacion) as the seat of government. In 1860, Fr. Cipriano Navarro, the first Spanish Missionary assigned to the place renamed it to Escalante, after his hometown in Spain.
Escalante was then a very big town with population bigger than that of Bacolod until 1939. However, Toboso, one of the biggest barangays of the town was separated from it in 1948 to be a Municipality by virtue of Executive Order No. 141 by President Elpidio Quirino decreasing its area and population.
The seat of the Municipal Government was transferred from Barangay Old Poblacion to Barangay Balintawak per Executive Order 301, dated May 30, 1958 by President Carlos P. Garcia .
Escalante was converted into a component city of Negros Occidental when its charter, R.A. 9014 was signed into law on February 28, 2001 by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, which was subsequently ratified in a plebiscite on March 2001.
This progressive city is the home of Manlambus Festival every 30th of May in celebration of its rich cultural heritage and glorious past that every Escalantehanon loves to share and tell. As its present dictum goes… ABANTE ESCALANTE, MASARANGAN NATO KINI! (second article verbatim from: http://negros-occ.gov.ph/)

Natural Resources of Escalante City, Negros Occidental, Philippines
- Protect the environment
It is sad but true that as of the year 2012 the rivers of the Philippines continue to be the #1 Sewer Systems of the Philippines.
Protect & Save the Rivers. Do not let your sewer drain into the river. Your community can be the first to initiate this project.
Build your riverbank protection with a built-in gutter system. Reforest within Ten Years - Guaranteed!
Let us plant more trees in every barangay in the entire Philippines. It does not make any difference if the barangay is urban, partially urban or rural; we need more trees. Trees will prevent erosion, provide oxygen, prevent green house effect, and even a place of business for the shade tree mechanic.
The Philippines is a tropical country and practically anything will grow. The DENR has the planting trees project that goes on every year. Lots of picture taking for the media. Planting trees one by one is the "human" way of doing it. This individual planting of trees is good if done to "line" the roads and highways with trees or along fences or property divisions, or if you have a plantation.
To reforest the nation of the Philippines we have to plant trees the "mother nature" way. Sow the seeds during the rainy season. Go deep into "bald" forests and plant trees by sowing seeds. If there's not enough volunteers to do this, use the military helicopters to fly over the designated areas and sow the seeds.
Guaranteed within a few years, The Philippines will be lush again. >>Read More
We are using our rivers as our sewer system. If you ask a Filipino, "Are the Filipinos a clean people?" The answer is an automatic, "Yes!". However, the Filipinos are suffering from the same disease or attitude as most people do, and that is the "NIMBY" disease or "NIMBY" attitude. (NIMBY) Not In My Back Yard. So it is OK to dump my garbage and sewer there. Not mine! Someone else will take care of it.
This attitude is killing our rivers. Your great-grandparents, grandparents or parents were once proud to tell the stories of how they enjoyed swimming in the river behind your house or nearby. However, you can't say the same or tell the same stories to your kids or grand kids. Why? Because your generation is killing the river.

We have so much water in the Philippines and yet very little to drink.
Instead of relying too much on Diesel fuel and Coal to generate the majority of Philippine's Electrical energy Supply, we can concentrate more on renewable and sustainable source of energy such as: Hydro Power, Solar Power, and Wind Power. We have too many black outs.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I hated the dailies in Wrath. I hated having to fly all over the goddamned continent every day, usually to places I wouldn't bother going anyway. Fifteen minutes roundtrip travel, not doing anything else, to kill three or four Great Frozen Foozles and take their Shiny McGuffin. remember telling someone that if I'd known THAT was what was in store when I levelled a JC, I'd have made her a blacksmith instead. XD
But in Cata only one of the JC dailies takes you out of Org. Most of them can be done in thirty seconds (I keep the gems in my bag) one takes maybe a minute (you can sparkle-up NPCs too) and one takes all of five minutes to trot to Hyjal and back. I play a bit most days anyway, I can spare five minutes for the daily.
My main is a tailor, and I currently find the Dreamcloth cooldown MUCH more frustrating than the JC daily.

Kim Kardashian's famously curvy bum almost didn't make it to the Grammys today - it wouldn't fit in her sexy golden dress!
The reality television star had a minor panic when she found her giant bum wouldn't fit into the slinky, slit Kaufman Franco gown she'd chosen for the awards show.
She'd had it tailored by some overzealous dressmakers, who obviously didn't realise just how big the bum they were dealing with is.
"I had the biggest fashion emergency. I took it to another tailor and they tailored it to where my whole butt wouldn't fit in it. I was freaking out and said that if I didn't have a dress, I wouldn't go," she said.
"The designers were amazing and they came in and met me and redid the whole thing."
Lucky for us - who would have dressed up like a female Oscar statuette if she wasn't there?

MUSHKIN, 16GB (4 x 4GB) Redline PC3-17000 DDR3 2133MHz CL9 (9-11-10-28) 1.65V SDRAM DIMM, Non-ECC
B/c I wanted the fastest memory available in these 4 GB sticks - but I dont know jack about memory speeds or cascading stuff.
Ava will mildly overclock the machine but I have no intention to - what's the best value and amount of RAM for a 6 core/ 680 / raid0 SSD type machine.
Was I a fool? Will Ava let configs change before the machine is built?
Please advise.

Hello Peter,
I believe we spoke previously, I'm happy to see you participating on our forum!
Typically, RAM speeds between 1333Mhz and 1600Mhz do not make much of a difference relative to real-world performance. The higher speeds, such as the 2133Mhz kit you selected, will in fact make quite the difference in performance. Latency is not entirely important, unless you're using an application that specifically requires low latencies. Since you decided to purchase Mushkin, I feel you made the right decision in order to obtain the best "bang for your buck"
Please feel free to continue posting with any questions you may have!

Hello Joe,
Thanks for the duplicate answer - but I really wanted to know if that speed change made a difference.
I left a rambling message about getting the box for the retail Intel processor that comes in the machine. I collect those boxes because I always buy retail chips.
There's gotta be some way this early on in the process of building to include this humble customers strange request?
Those boxes are like hood ornaments to us hardcore nerds and, well, I should've asked before sale whether I could get the box or not.
I leave you alone now, but thanks for the incredible customer service and techincal advice so far.

Hello Peter,
You're welcome, it's a pleasure to assist you!
I also requested that we send you the retail box for your processor. It looks like we should be able to get that done for you. :-)
Feel free to continuing post on AVAForums and have a wonderful weekend!
