I thought maybe I'd gone too far with a vibrant purple blind and an equally vibrant pink tablecloth — then I saw these gorgeous mats! I couldn't reserve them quickly enough (the coasters too) and they were waiting for me within hours. They really tie my new colours together and are left out permanently. I haven't risked hot plates yet as the recommended limit of 110 degrees is difficult to gauge - if in doubt maybe turn them over!

New Music: Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra's 'Last Odyssey'
Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra's 'Last Odyssey'
There's something geographically astounding about aCosta Mesa
-based record label putting putting out a band fromFrance
who specializes in the fiery polyrhythms ofEthio
funk. That's pretty much the situation when it comes toUbiquity Record's
latest signee,Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra
. Aside from packing every almost every awesome musical adjective they could muster into one band name, ALVO is equally adept at the kind of rhythmic alchemy that fits more flavors of the world into one one song than most bands could do in an entire album. Having already heard their debut Ubiquity releaseLast Odyssey
(released today), we can say that those in need of hot, sticky percussion and jam band virtuosity from half way around the globe have enough conga-fied goodness here to keep them satiated for a while.

Health, education, social security and the Home Office are to be tackled first in a rolling programme expected to take two to three years to complete.
But some of the most radical options ministers will examine in the welfare field look likely to be items for the next Parliament unless the Government is prepared to breach manifesto promises.
The review is aimed at generating short-term savings - but is also looking beyond this Parliament at where public provision can be substituted by the private sector, or where programmes can be dropped or curtailed.
Labour will today attempt to bring Michael Portillo, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, to the Commons to detail the Government's plans. Harriet Harman, his Labour opposite number, said yesterday that the Conservative right was trying 'to take advantage of the economic chaos to achieve their aspiration to get rid of the welfare state'.
That charge came after Peter Lilley, Secretary of State for Social Security, pointed at the weekend to the possibility of the basic state pension being means- tested and replaced by private provision.
'We need to look for ways in which the state pension could be better targeted and private provision harnessed,' he said at the Young Conservative's conference in Southend.
That could involve people receiving national insurance rebates in return for foregoing the state pension - as already happens with the earnings-related pension - while some on the right want the possibility of private insurance for unemployment explored.
The party manifesto, however, says the state pension will remain 'the foundation' for retirement, with its value protected. And while child benefit could be taxed, opponents would argue that that would breach the spirit of the manifesto pledge.
Stephen Dorrell, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, attempted yesterday to calm the storm the review has brought by stating that 'clearly the commitments of the Government at the election' - which include real-terms growth in health spending - 'are commitments that stand'.
There had, however, to be an in-depth review of each programme, in series, to 'ensure they reflect today's priorities', he said on BBC Radio's World at One.
Mr Dorrell's interview implied, however, that public spending was the Treasury's priority in the battle to curb the soaring public borrowing requirement - a priority ahead of tax increases in the March Budget.
Mr Dorrell appeared to point in that direction by saying that the Government's financial situation was not 'deeply bad', nor was it in 'the middle of a thunderstorm', as some commentators suggest.
He underlined that growth was the third way of reducing the budget deficit alongside tax increases and spending cuts. That reinforced expectations of a cautious, largely neutral Budget in March, with tougher action being postponed to December.
Gordon Brown, Labour's shadow Chancellor, said yesterday that John Major's 'policy vacuum and void' meant the right was trying to seize the agenda.

A highlight of Fontainhas is the Chapel of St. Sebastian, built in 1818 to meet the needs of the largely Portuguese community. Today, the chapel houses an old crucifix from the Palace of the Inquisition in Old Goa, and unlike most crucifixes, this one depicts Jesus with his head up and his eyes open. Both Fontainhas and its neighboring district of Sao Tome can easily be explored on foot during a half or full day.

Good 3.9 /5 from 104 reviews
Hotel Evsen and it's entire staff made our trip incredibly enjoyable! The hotel was elegant and hospitable. Our room was beautifully designed and very comfortable including all amenities we had hoped for - clean, large enough bathroom, closet space, sofa bed in addition to a queen sized bed, mini fridge, hair dryer and much much more. The concierge saw that we had 4 bags and upgraded us to a larger room free of charge. Tarun at the front desk was incredibly helpful - pointing out things we should do to see the true Istanbul, how to get everywhere, when to go. The concierge even went the extra mile to call and make dinner reservations for us and arrange all of our excursions. THe hotel's location was ideal - a five minute walk from all the sights and on a beautiful pedestrian only street filled with restaurants and cafes. Breakfast at this hotel is amazing! Very delicious and a wide variety of food to choose from - not to mention the excellent views on the 6th floor hotel restaurant! Overall, we highly recommend Hotel Evsen to all travelers.
My wife and I were really disappointed with our room. We paid a decent amount ahead of time and they put us in a first floor room with no windows. It felt very stuffy and my wife felt claustrophibic. I would not reserve there in advance unless you can be guaranteed a room with a window. The positive was that the breakfast was very good and the location was convenient. Fortunately we were only there one night.
Great place to stay in Istanbul! Located near all the major sights in Old city as well as ferry terminals. The staff was excellent, rooms clean and well furnished. I'm already looking forward to my staying at this place on my next trip to Istanbul!
This was our first stay at this hotel and we stayed for 8 nights. This hotel is located in the heart of old Istanbul, within walking distance of the major attractions, on a pedestrian street with several shops and good restaurants, and a tram station for those who wish to visit attractions away from the centre of town. The friendly and helpful multi-lingual staff provided us with accurate and valuable advice on attraction opening and closing times and arranged all of our tour bookings with great efficiency. We truly appreciated the advice and the quality of the tour packages they recommended. The hotel provides an excellent breakfast buffet with the option of having a fresh omelette made just for you. Our room was not luxurious however it was very clean and all of the furnishings were in good condition. Our room was a standard room; we expected the room to be small based on the reviews posted on Hotels.com by previous guests so we were not surprised or disappointed when we saw that our was indeed quite small. Travellers who need space should select another type of room. The hotel provides a small street level sitting area for guests who wish to enjoy the outdoors and kindly allowed us to use the glassed-in top floor terrace when we wanted some peace and quiet during the afternoon. This is a very well managed hotel with friendly and helpful staff, we would not hesitate to recommend it.

Be quite do you hear that?
The sounds of the season's change?
The silence of a cool Fall breeze,
and the crackling of the midnight freeze.
Morning frost on the frozen ground.
Leafs' a rage of color as you look around.
The squawk of geese as the sun starts to set.
The temperature drops, and nights grow long.
Air crisp and fresh as you draw in into your lungs,
Filled with the smells of Fall.
Did you hear that?
The sounds of a season change.

So what actually happens when we fall asleep? For most of us, other than the odd bit of snoring, externally there isn't much to see. However, if we take a peek into our brains, we find that things are not as straightforward as they may appear.
Sleep cycles are made up of 5 distinct stages; stages 1 to 4 and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Each cycle lasts around 90 to 110 minutes and we typically go through 4 or 5 such cycles each night.
Stage 1 represents light sleep. This is the stage of sleep where you are easily woken. Often people will 'jump' or startle during this period of sleep.
Stage 2 is when your eye movements will stop all together and brainwave activity starts to slow.
Stage 3 is the start of deep sleep. Very slow electrical brainwaves known as delta waves start to appear, showing that the brain is starting to wind down.
Stage 4 is the deepest part of the sleep cycle. There are no eye movements, no muscle activity and only the very slow delta brainwaves. If you are woken up during this stage of sleep you tend to feel pretty groggy and dozy.
REM sleep is the final stage of the cycle, usually occurring after around 70 to 90 minutes of sleep. Everything changes during this stage. Breathing quickens, eye movements start up and become jerky and rapid. In most people muscles become temporarily paralysed and both heart rate and blood pressure elevate. It is during this phase of activity that dreaming occurs.
During the first cycle of a normal night's sleep, the majority is made up of deep sleep, with only a short proportion being made up by REM sleep. As the night wears on we experience less deep sleep and more REM sleep. Often people wake up in the morning during light or REM sleep when dreams are freshest in our memories.
No one really knows the exact reasons for REM sleep, but we do know that many animals also experience similar sleep cycle patterns to ours. The purpose of dreams also remains a bit of a mystery. They are thought possibly to help with learning and brain development, as well as a way to consolidate and organise memories. At the very least they can give you a good tale to share over the breakfast table!

Wally Szczerbiak's left knee strain that will keep him out for much of the rest of the regular season will require Mike Brown to shift his rotation once again. In Szczerbiak the team lost some flexibility.
Brown said after Thursday's morning shootaround that Sasha Pavlovic, because of his size, will see his minutes increase. Some may view that as a good thing, others a bad. What is known about Pavlovic is that when he gets extended minutes, he usually produces.
It also represents another oppportunity for Daniel Gibson to try to get untracked. Gibson, who has received DNP-CDs (did not play - coach's decision) the past two games, has been inconsistent all season. In fairness, part of that has been due to a toe injury, but he said recently that it's 100 percent. In short: there should be no excuses for a lack of production now.
Rookie forward Darnell Jackson will rejoin the team tonight after his oh-so-brief appearance with the Erie Bayhawks of the NBA D-League. Jackson scored 15 points and grabbed six rebounds in a 114-106 win over the Austin Toros.

It's nuts. But nuts is good. Find out why in this recap.
Freddy's dead-y
Two important points are made in the very first scene of "Lay Me Down": Jennifer is back in town, and Wade is all evil and stuff. Also, Jennifer isn't insane anymore and therefore wants to get a newspaper job at the only periodical in town, the "Haven Herald." This means that she may or may not wear glasses.
Wade, meanwhile, gets all creepy in his quest for cleaning supplies.
Although Duke would like to puzzle over his brother's odd behavior, there's unfortunately a drunk to deal with. Freddy seems to be a nice, easygoing sort of lush, but they drop the guy in the drunk tank anyway. When last we see Freddy, he's curled up with a smile on his face, ready to sleep it off.
The smile is gone moments later — in the time it takes Nathan and Audrey to argue about Lexie and then get a cup of water, Freddy dies. It's very bloody and messy, and Gloria the partying coroner thinks it's like a bear attack. Only it's way too clean.
Interestingly, poor Freddy was a bit of a bear nut in life. He always wanted to watch the nature shows while he drank …
Sinister behavior of various sorts
At the "Herald," Jennifer runs into Carrie, a nice newspaper delivery girl (played by Kandyse McClure) and then proceeds with her interview. Jennifer is obviously way overqualified for a job like this, but Vince and Dave have a task for her to complete if she wants in: Jennifer has to do a background check on herself.
Of course, there are ulterior motives here. The Teagues mostly want to find out what Jennifer's connection to the Barn actually is. Unfortunately for them, Jennifer's self-check finds little. She was adopted and knows nothing about her birth parents. This is totally going to be important.
But for now, we move onto even more sinister stuff involving Wade Crocker. You didn't think he'd stop after Jordan, did you? Because he has no intention of stopping in "Lay Me Down." Telling himself that it's for the best and that he's curing curses, Wade takes a knife to a pretty Troubled girl outside of a bar.
What dreams may come
What do hot "Haven" boys dream about? Let's take a peek inside the minds of Duke, Dwight and Nathan to see what makes them all tick.
First of all, Duke. We see the man cooking a very bloody bit of something to share for dinner with Wade. He also wants to share Dad's journal, especially the part about the addictive rush of killing. In the process, however, Duke gets a paper cut and Wade attacks.
Duke wakes up at that point — with a big slash on his arm where Dream Wade attacked.
Then there's Dwight. That poor guy's dream is mostly about paperwork, but then Wade Crocker walks into the police station with a gun. Before Dwight can do anything, the gun reappears, floating in the air. Shots fire as Dwight awakens in his car.
There's blood underneath his bulletproof vest. That is not good.
Finally, we have Nathan. Unlike everyone else in town, Nathan isn't having dreams about death. His nightmares are more of the humiliation and punishment variety. In them, a very naked Nathan (woohoo!) is reprimanded by Miss Audrey for not being able to answer a simple multiple-choice question: Who does he love?
When Nathan fails to answer (because he doesn't know), Teacher Audrey pulls out her paddle and …
We don't get to see much more, because this is when Nathan wakes up. Audrey is waiting at the door. But Nathan needs a few minutes before he can answer it. It's more than just injuries that Nathan brought back from sleep, if you know what I mean …
Death of/by print journalism
Two more men are dead from what seem to be nightmares — a swarm of bees and teeth falling out ("The Tommyknockers" shout-out?). Also, there's Wade's victim, but that's another story. The dream-deaths are far more concerning to everyone at hand.
What's the connection? A short bit of puzzling by Audrey brings up the thought that newspapers were around everyone who died. Could this finally be the explanation for Vince and Dave's Trouble?
Duke is actually a little more concerned with Wade at this point. While Dwight is in the hospital recovering from his gunshots, Duke takes a look through the police file on the stabbing victim. When he sees that a knife point was found in the girl's rib, Duke remembers that Wade had been suspiciously cleaning a broken knife earlier.
It's not looking good for Wade.
The Ice-Truck Killer copies the Bay Harbor Butcher
If you want to understand the above heading, you really need to watch "Dexter" Season 1. The reference is obvious if you do.
Anyway, Duke finds out that Wade has been renting a boat to go out fishing. When Duke follows the GPS coordinates to his brother's fishing hole, he finds something a little more shocking than fish. There are bodies under the water! While it does look like there might be a few dead people down there, Duke is mostly concerned with one distinctive, gloved hand he can see.
That would be Jordan.
Obviously, Duke has to stop all of this. He finds Wade outside of some dive bar and confronts him about the dead people. Wade doesn't really deny anything. Instead, he threatens to spill on Audrey if Duke doesn't play along with Wade's killing spree.
So Duke just knocks his big brother out cold.
Troubles go viral
Back at the newspaper, Nathan and Audrey (who's only barely keeping up the Lexie persona now) find out that it's not the Teagues who caused the dream Trouble. The only source that makes sense? That would be Carrie, the nice newspaper-delivery girl.
Since Carrie has just delivered news to the entire town, there's no time to waste. In an interesting twist on Trouble identification, Carrie freely admits she's Troubled — dreams come to life are a normal thing in her family. She's never been contagious though.
Audrey theorizes that the way to end the danger is to cure Carrie's Trouble. But Carrie knows that doing so — by confronting her fears in a dream — could leave her dead.
Did someone leave the Barn door open?
With Audrey at her side to talk her through the scary stuff, Carrie goes to sleep and starts to dream about walking through a dark forest and meeting the two men who had mugged her a few days before (presumably triggering the Trouble in the process).
Somehow, those muggers are two familiar faces: the Sinister Man and Heavy. These were the guys who menaced Lexie back in the Bar(n). Did they get loose?
Whether they did or not, they're dangerous to Carrie in her sleep. She even takes a blow from one of them before Audrey's encouragement teaches the young woman to be brave and banish those fears.
The muggers vanish and all of Haven can sleep easy again!
Brother against brother
Duke may have bested Wade, but he probably should have left a note for Jennifer. As it is, the young woman lets the Evil Crocker
out of a locked closet. Of course, Wade repays this kindness by tasting (literally — like a vampire) Jennifer's blood and trying to kill her.
That's when Duke returns to save the day.
Getting a little of Jennifer's blood on him too, it's two silver-eyed Crockers in this fight. But Duke has the knife, so the match is over almost before it starts.
As Wade dies, Duke's eyes mysteriously lose their silver shading. The explanation for that is in how the Crocker curse works: By killing one Troubled person, everyone else in the family loses their curses. Duke killed Wade, and now the Crocker curse is gone.
But this isn't something Duke wants to celebrate. Loss of the blood-rush aside, this whole situation means that Duke let Wade kill. He is too ashamed to even tell Nathan and Audrey about this one.
Audrey and Nathan "make pancakes" at last!
The simmering fight between Audrey and Nathan bursts into the open as soon as everything else is over. Nathan thinks he only wants to love Audrey (definitely not Lexie), and Audrey is still a little irritated that Nathan slept with Sarah. It's kind of like cheating, after all.
It's just not going to work, is it? Nathan storms off … But then he storms back in. As it turns out, Nathan loves Audrey and everyone else she happens to be. The star-crossed lovers kiss passionately and then presumably do other stuff that may or may not involve pancakes.
Meanwhile, outside of the Grey Gull, two men watch Audrey's apartment with a frown. Sinister Man and Heavy are not pleased with this. They're not pleased at all.
Funky Barn problems
A few more points of interest — mostly related to the Barn — need to be highlighted here:
- Jennifer's mysterious adoption was arranged by one Byron Howard. That's Agent Howard to you and me. Did Jennifer come from the Barn (or from whichever world it connects to)? Is it possible that Jennifer, like James, is a child of another version of Audrey? How weird would that be?
- When Audrey and Nathan visit Carrie after her dream trauma, Audrey notices a weird, glowing handprint on Carrie's back (kind of like the healing handprints on "Roswell"). Oddly, no one else can see it. Did Sinister Man leave it? Is this what caused Carrie's Trouble to spread?
- Finally, if Sinister Man and Heavy can escape the Barn, could others follow? Others like James? Or William?
These questions will unfortunately have to wait for another day and another "Haven."

Shrimp 'N Olive Kebabs Veracruz
Olive-Parmesan Cocktail Crescents
Olives as they come from the tree are too bitter to eat without some kind of curing. There are many different methods used around the world. Most olives become black ripe olives. A few become specialty olives.
Canning is the final step. Ripe olives are canned in a mild salt brine and, because they are a low acid product, are heat sterilized under strict California State health rules. All canned ripe olives packaged in California are inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture ensuring consistent quality, color, flavor and texture. Ripe olives come whole, pitted, sliced, chopped, or wedged. They are readily available year round in the grocery store.
Some of the many specialty style olives are:
Within each country methods, colors, flavor and texture vary greatly among specialty olives. In the U.S. look for these imported olives in specialty food stores, delicatessans and some grocery stores.
Press 1 teaspoon of grated cheese into each olive. Press one jalapeño slice over cheese. Place one olive in center curve of each shrimp. Insert three shrimp onto bamboo skewers. Place in 12 x 8-inch glass baking dish. Combine remaining ingredients. Pour over kebabs. Cover. Chill for one hour. Remove kebabs from marinade. Grill or broil until shrimp are firm (turning once), about 7 to 10 minutes. Baste often with marinade. Makes 6 servings.
Reserve ripe olives. Split garlic into cloves. Wrap in foil. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 30 minutes. Cool. Remove garlic peels and crush with a fork. Add ripe olives, cheese and herbs. Mix well. Unroll dough triangles and spread with olive mixture. Roll tightly. Bake according to package directions.

4. Use positive peer pressure
A simple way to do this is to just live as an example. This motivates others while keeping your own standards of conduct high. The other day, several of us went to the local pizza joint for lunch. After sitting down with our collection of personal pizzas, a curious thing happened. One woman in our group started dabbing the extra grease off the top of her pizza with a napkin. She did it without fanfair or announcement. It was just a habit of hers. But then the man to her left started doing it too. Then the guy across from him. And on down the line until the whole table was dabbing away. We saw her doing something smart and healthy, and instinctively knew that we should do the same. One by one, we imitated her without too much thought – and probably picked up a new habit in the process.

The Art of Being Unproductive
I've always been a busy bee. Growing up in Japan, I had English lessons, piano lessons, martial arts, tutoring and swimming lessons every day of the week—sometimes two lessons in the same evening all after a full day of school. I loved it. In fact, I was proud of myself for being busy. I knew things other kids didn't know. I had friends other kids didn't have. But then some days, as my mother drove me to wherever I was going next, I watched other kids stay in the playground until dark with great envy and longing.Read More
Visualisation and Mindfulness Meditation
Nowadays, visualisation and mindfulness meditation are not uncommon terms. Even kids have heard of meditation and they know to sit and close eyes with index finger and thumb pressed together. They are both important tools and highly effective if practiced with discipline. Here at Apneista in Amed, Bali, our yoga teacher training program includes learning about methods to discipline our minds through both meditation and visualisation.Read More
How I became an Effective Activist
I've been there. I was a vegetarian. Almost seven years ago, I had a discussion with a guy from Newfoundland, Canada. At the time, "seal clubbing" was a hot topic in Canada ever since Paul McCartney and his then wife Heather Mills visited Canada and made a stint about native ways of killing seals. My friend, asked me, "so what do you think about seal clubbing?" I replied with "well, I think it's horrible to beat up baby seals like that." He then said "what's the difference between killing seals and killing chickens you're eating?"Read More

Philippe Senderos is hoping to force his way into the Fulham first team after coming through the latest frustrating injury problem to strike him during his time at Craven Cottage.
Senderos signed for Fulham in June 2010, but had to wait 11 months to make his debut after rupturing his Achilles tendon in training.
The Switzerland defender then went on to win a place in the first team under new manager Martin Jol this season, but he suffered another injury – to his thigh – in September, leaving him out of action for a month.
Jol has chosen between Brede Hangeland, Aaron Hughes and Chris Baird at centre-back in Senderos's absence, but the former Arsenal man is now fully fit and determined to put his despair behind him by winning back a place in the first team.
"I think it's important to not dwell too much on what has happened in the past – I like to think that the injury is behind me now," Senderos said. "Of course, it was a frustrating period because I missed the majority of my first season at Fulham. [But] I'm feeling good and looking forward to the coming weeks. I've missed a lot of football and I need to establish myself again.
"I know the challenge that I face because the partnership between Brede Hangeland and Aaron Hughes is very strong. They are two of the best around and have done much for the success of this club, but I'm confident in my ability as a defender. When the chance comes to show what I can do I have to make sure that I take the opportunity. I just want to help make a difference and get a regular run of games."
Despite his injury troubles at Craven Cottage, Senderos does not regret joining Fulham, a club he thinks has a bright future despite their worrying start to the season which has seen them drop to 17th after just one win in nine.
"Joining Fulham was an easy choice," said Senderos, who could play in Saturday's game at Wigan. "This is a great club, with great players, great staff and great prospects – when you put those factors together you can see that this team is capable of achieving big things.
"Ambition is massive to me, and Fulham have that. They've enjoyed some of their best seasons in recent years and I want to be part of its future success."
Nottingham Forest have signed the rookie Manchester City defender Greg Cunningham on loan until the end of the year. Steve Cotterill moved for the 20-year-old left-back after Clint Hill was recalled from his loan spell by QPR.
Cunningham joined City from Mervue United in his native Galway in 2007 and has made five substitute appearances, while he also had a spell on loan with Leicester last season.
Cotterill said: "Left-backs are very difficult to come by and although he's only a young player I think he's got a good future ahead of him."
The veteran goalkeeper Neil Sullivan has signed a one-year contract extension until 2013 at Doncaster. The 41-year-old's deal which will take him into his 25th season as a professional.
Sullivan began the campaign as second choice behind Gary Woods and then, having reclaimed his place in the first team, found himself back on the bench after Chris Kirkland joined on loan from Wigan. But an injury to Kirkland saw Sullivan back in the team against Blackpool and Portsmouth.

- What's worrying you?>
- Anxiety
Anxiety can be seen as a customary, yet unpleasant part of life that can affect us all in different ways. If you are suffering from anxiety you may feel irritable, tense, nervous, uptight or wound up. Common in all these complaints is the overwhelming effect of the body producing too much adrenaline. This results in physical symptoms that can affect daily life.
The apprehension of anxiety, which causes palpitations and shaking, creates even more adrenaline, resulting in a vicious circle. For some people anxiety is a temporary state that passes when the source of stress subsides. For others it becomes a long-term condition that affects their lives and those of their loved ones.
It is normal and healthy to feel sad or worried about life and its problems and pressures. But when a worry casts a cloud over everyday life, you may be suffering from anxiety, depression or a mixture of the two.
This fact-sheet explores symptoms, possible causes and the effects of anxiety. It will also look into anxiety disorders and varying kinds of anxiety treatment (including anxiety counselling).
On this page
Symptoms and disorders
If you have symptoms that interfere with your daily activities, then you may have an anxiety disorder. According to Patient.co.uk, approximately one in 20 people have an anxiety disorder. Some sufferers may also have more than one.
Here is a brief overview of the most prevalent anxiety disorders:
Reactions to stress
Anxiety can manifest as a reaction to a stressful situation. These type of stress-related anxiety disorders are classed as 'reaction disorders'. The three most common are:
Acute reaction to stress
Having an acute reaction to stress means that your symptoms appear within minutes or hours of the stressful experience. Typically, acute reactions in stressful incidents occur after a sudden life crisis such as a bereavement, accident or family problem. In some cases, the symptoms occur before a known event like an interview or an exam – this is called situational anxiety.
When this happens, symptoms tend to settle down quickly. However, in some situations they can last for days or weeks at a time. Other symptoms you might experience include irritability, low mood, poor sleep, wanting to be alone and emotional ups and downs.
Adjustment reaction
An adjustment reaction is similar to an acute reaction. However symptoms tend to develop days or weeks after a stressful event as a reaction. For example you could develop symptoms a few weeks after a divorce, wondering how you are going to cope without your spouse. The symptoms of this are similar to the acute reaction but in some cases can include depression.
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) typically follows a serious traumatic event such as a life-threatening incident. Symptoms tend to last for around a month, but can go on for much longer. Anxiety is only one of the symptoms of PTSD. The other main symptoms include:
- Recurring memories, dreams, images, thoughts or flashbacks of the traumatic event.
- A pessimistic outlook on your future. You may start to lose interest in activities you once enjoyed.
- Avoiding places, feelings, people or anything else that may trigger thoughts or memories of the traumatic event.
- Feeling detached from friends and family, feeling emotionally numb.
Phobic anxiety disorders
If you have a phobia of something, you are genuinely fearful of it. This fear is typically disproportionate to the situation. Entering the same vicinity or coming into contact with the feared situation may cause you to feel anxious. In some cases, even thinking of the situation can lead to feelings of anxiety. Hence you may avoid the situation, causing a restriction in your life.
Social anxiety disorder
Social anxiety disorder, or social phobia, is one of the most common phobias. In this instance you become anxious when you think people are judging you, or when you try to figure out what people think of you. It also extends to meeting new people and performing in front of others. You fear that you will act in an embarrassing manner – so much so that other people will think you are crazy, foolish or inadequate. This causes you to avoid such situations as much as possible.
Agoraphobia is perceived as a fear of open spaces and public places, but in reality it is more complex. If you have agoraphobia, you may have a fear of:
- travelling on public transport
- using a lift
- travelling across a bridge
- entering public places
- being in a place where there isn't an easy exit such as a cinema
- walking through crowds of people.
All of these stem from the underlying fear of help not being instantly available, or if it's difficult to escape to safety. When you enter a feared place, you can become distressed and anxious. This is why in severe cases, agoraphobics tend to stay in their own home for as long as possible.
More phobias linked to anxiety:
- fear of choking
- fear of being alone
- fear of specific animals
- fear of confined spaces
- fear of injections/needles.
Other anxiety disorders
Panic disorder
If you suffer from panic disorder, it means that you have panic attacks on a recurring basis. A panic attack is a sudden, severe attack of fear and anxiety that can occur for no clear reason. The attacks tend to last between five and 10 minutes, but in some instances you can suffer them in waves for up to two hours.
The physical symptoms of a panic attack include:
- heart palpitations
- shortness of breath
- trembling
- feeling faint
- chest pains
- numbness.
Generalised anxiety disorder
If you suffer from generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) you will feel anxious on most days. It's a persistent condition where symptoms may come and go. Typically these feelings are related to seemingly minor things such as stress at home or at work. But sometimes you might not even know why you are feeling anxious. If you do have GAD, you will most likely have at least three of the following symptoms:
- easily tired
- on edge/restless
- irritable
- poor sleep
- muscle tension
- difficulty concentrating.
Obsessive compulsive disorder
Obsessive compulsive disorder comprises of obsessional thoughts followed by compulsive urges.
- Obsessions are recurring urges, thoughts or images that can cause you to become anxious.
- Compulsions are actions or thoughts that you feel the need to do or repeat. A compulsion is typically a response to ease the anxiety that you feel from an obsession.
The side-effects
Relationships can be affected as you withdraw from social activities. If your behaviour is dominated by anxious feelings it can affect your partner, family and colleagues who may sense your rejection.
Anxiety is often accompanied by intense emotional and physical sensations that can convince you that you cannot cope with work, family life or ordinary social contact. Your withdrawal and increasing pre-occupation with anxiety symptoms increases the effects and isolation. Cold sweats, trembling, tingling and palpitations are common symptoms in both anxiety and depression, which often interact. The physical and mental symptoms create a cycle that is easily triggered and may cause you to avoid others.
Anticipating disasters and dwelling on symptoms can dominate the life of an anxious person. This can put pressure on friends and relatives who may themselves feel depleted and drained.
Anxiety feeds on fear and needs to be appropriately and safely confronted with skills and constructive thinking patterns. This is why anxiety counselling is considered an effective form of treatment.
What are the causes?
Causes include medical factors, brain chemistry, environmental factors, substance abuse, genetics, or a combination of these. External pressures typically cause anxiety, but it is possible for you to become anxious with 'negative self-talk' – an outlook on life where you expect the worst to happen.
Medical factors
Infections, asthma, anaemia and some heart conditions are all believed to be associated with anxiousness. A number of medically related causes include:
- Side effects from medication.
- Lack of oxygen from a pulmonary embolism or emphysema.
- Stress from a serious illness.
- Symptoms of an illness.
Brain chemistry
According to research, if you have abnormal levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, you may have an increased risk of developing GAD.
When certain neurotransmitters are not working correctly, the brain's internal network breaks down. This causes the brain to react in inappropriate ways in some situations.
Environmental factors
Some environmental factors include:
- Work-related stress.
- Finance and money worries.
- Stress at school.
- Traumatic events such as death of a loved one, a car accident or abuse.
- Relationship problems.
- High-altitude areas.
Substance abuse
Alcohol and benzodiazepine dependence are two of the most common substance-related causes of anxiety disorders such as GAD, social phobia and panic disorder.
General causes include:
- Intoxication from an illicit drug such as cocaine.
- Withdrawal from illicit drugs such as heroin, or from prescription drugs like Vicodin.
Some research has suggested that if you have a family history of anxiety, you have a greater chance of developing it yourself.
When is the right time to seek help?
Anxiety is a problem that feeds on itself and is often covered up and dealt with in isolation. Help should be sought as soon as possible. If physical symptoms are severe, consult your GP as a first port of call. Anxiety counselling can help you to face your fears and rebuild self-esteem.
Anxiety treatment
The aim of anxiety treatment is to help reduce symptoms so anxious feelings no longer affect your daily life.
Anxiety counselling
Anxiety counselling is one form of anxiety treatment. It can help by teaching you how to:
- co-manage your life to get back to normal
- define and reframe your most common anxieties
- manage and understand the problem
- manage your life better through meeting your needs
- understand your own limits and triggers
- confront and tolerate your fears
- understand the effects of your self-esteem and expectations
- consider the wider context of your relationships and their effects.
Gaining an understanding of the source of the problem may help you develop a new perspective. Relaxation techniques such as guided fantasy and muscle tension are two techniques that can be used to break the cycle.
Cognitive behavioural therapy has a structured approach to dealing with anxiety in stages. It allows sufferers to look at their own unhealthy thinking and employs graduated exercises in desensitisation and exposure to help people face their fears and anxieties. Psychoanalytic work can look at the origins of the anxiety and offer new perspectives when the time is right.
Mindfulness exercises for anxiety
Mindfulness exercises for anxiety can help you manage symptoms. The aim of mindfulness is to develop your moment-by-moment awareness to be appreciative, self-compassionate and non-judgemental. You will gain greater clarity on what is happening around you, which should help you recognise your anxiety triggers and deal with them effectively.
Medication can be prescribed to help with your anxiety treatment. Common medications include:
- Antidepressants - Even though they are commonly used to treat depression, antidepressants can help reduce your symptoms.
- Benzodiazepines - Benzodiazepines tend to work well to ease symptoms, but they do have serious side effects.
- Beta-blockers - Beta-blockers can help treat some of the physical symptoms such as heart palpitations and trembling.
- Buspirone - This drug is used to treat GAD. It's an anti-anxiety medicine that isn't thought to be addictive.
What should I be looking for in a counsellor or psychotherapist?
There are currently no laws in place stipulating what training and qualifications a counsellor must have in order to treat anxiety. However, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) have developed a set of guidelines that provide advice about the recommended treatments.
In the first instance, those suffering with anxiety should be offered access to a support group and self-help information recommendations by their doctor. If this doesn't help, or the anxiety is more severe, psychological treatments such as cognitive behavioural therapy and/or applied relaxation are recommended. Further treatment may require medication.
Read the full NICE guidelines:
Treating generalised anxiety disorder and panic disorder in adults: information for the public
There are several accredited courses, qualifications and workshops available that can improve a counsellors knowledge of a particular area, so for peace of mind you may wish to check to see if they have had further training in treating anxiety.

Michael Dell: PC Growth Strong in 'Post-PC Era'
The Dell CEO is pushing back at recent comments by Apple CEO Tim Cook that, with smartphones and tablets, there no longer is a reason to buy a PC.Michael Dell is having none of this "post-PC" talk. The Dell founder and CEO, who began making PCs in the 1980s in his university dorm room, has been a champion of the form factor for decades—and has become a billionaire thanks to it—even over the past several years as the number of PC shipments worldwide has declined. PCs still account for more than half of Dell's revenues, and he and other company executives have said they are a cornerstone of the vendor's efforts to become a top-tier IT enterprise solutions and services vendor. They've also been critical about Hewlett-Packard's decision to split in two, a move that separated that company's enterprise IT and PC businesses. So when Apple CEO Tim Cook this week took a swipe at PCs as he talked about his company's new iPad Pro tablet, Michael Dell pushed back quickly. Sure, the market is changing, but there are a lot of PCs being sold out there and there's a great opportunity to sell even more, he said. "The post-PC era has been great for the PC," Michael Dell told the London-based Telegraph newspaper. "When the post-PC era started, there were about 180 million PCs being sold a year and now it's up to over 300 million, so I like the post-PC era."
Cook's remarks echoed those made by Apple founder and then-CEO Steve Jobs, who in 2010 declared the arrival of the "post-PC era."

Participating professionals praise The KBA WKU Radio Talent Institute and embrace the Institute as a "go to" place to find bright, talented young broadcasters entering the industry.

"It's exciting to see Western Kentucky University, the Kentucky Broadcasters Association and broadcasters in Kentucky and the region team with the National Radio Talent System, and embrace this innovative talent incubator to find, train, coach and develop fresh young talent in every area of broadcasting. It shows their vision, confidence and enthusiasm in the investment of the future of our industry."

Talent is listed alphabetically by last name with brief information on each including graduation date, along with resume and an aircheck if relevant. The list includes talent interested in on-air, sales, traffic, digital, production, etc. Keep in mind each talent is in a different stage of their growth and are continuing to develop.

The Kentucky Broadcasters Association Western Kentucky University Radio Talent Institute is a proud affiliate of the National Radio Talent System
For decades, the broadcast industry has talked about the need for a talent system to bring new talent to radio. For the first time ever, the National Radio Talent System brings to the industry an innovative program that delivers entry-level talent qualified to excel in radio stations and broadcast groups throughout the state and region and across America.
The KBA WKU Radio Talent Institute attracts, trains and creates opportunity for talented, enthusiastic and well educated young adults who have a passion for the broadcast industry. Rising college juniors and seniors work through an intensive 10-days to bring them to a better understanding of each aspect of the industry, including on-air, programming, writing, news, sports and sales; all students also participate in RAB training and take the exam to earn their Radio marketing Professional Certification.
The KBA WKU Radio Talent Institute prepares the students to excel in entry-level positions upon their graduation, prepares them to excel in these entry-level positions, and better ensures they get a start in and have a successful career in broadcasting.
Many in broadcasting often ask, "Where is the next generation of talent coming from?" We now know the answer. Students who have participated in the Institute are now working for CBS, Clear Channel, Beasley Broadcast Group, Entercom, CNN and others.
Part of the goal is to prepare students, along with their Liberal Arts education, to the point that they can walk into a professional radio station environment and not only be comfortable, but to excel in every area of the business, from on-air to programming to sales to management…we expect no less than to prepare a future generation of broadcast leaders.
We look to attract the brightest of the brightest students to bring fresh talent into the industry who can contribute to make the industry even more dynamic.
