The wonders of drinkable.
The achilles heel for many a general public. The 'norm' for quite a few others. And venom if you have CFS/PVFS/ME ...
I call back once I first got Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome/CFS hindermost in 1995, I brainwave that having a party or two wouldn't feeling me any otherwise to my PRE-CFS life. Unfortunately I didn't agnize what I was doing to myself.
I didn't cognise how badly potable can affect the severity of this CFS ...
Nowadays I don't touch beverage at all, and haven't done so for a few geezerhood now. I'd instead see at lowest a few work time in the day instead of woman sick for weeks on end because of one spirituous drink!
Because once you have CFS/M.E., you possibly will as good be bucketing chemical element set your tubular cavity...
Okay - so that examination could be a pocket-size 'dramatic', but you get what I imply right?
You see once you have CFS/M.E., you are predictable to improve **alcohol intolerance**...
The small intoxicating draft - even a infinitesimal bit,
can direct you into a regress - as I learnt the intricate way more age ago.
Having an spiritous get drunk now and once again was plenty to tip the stringency of my PVFS/CFS finished the brim and put me in bed indefinitely.
When a **normal** creature gets sloshed they may consciousness a bit bad for a day or so, after which, they're back to 'normal', bouncing fund and eager to go. But once a being next to M.E./CFS gets drunk - or even has in recent times one drink, they're liable to have a feeling resembling 'death warmed up' for what seems suchlike an eternity!!!
Personally, I don't truly similar to street drug by a long chalk so I don't go without it. But even if I did,
I have realised that drinkable no longer makes me consciousness the way it in use to in the past I had CFS...
Drinking alcoholic beverage now feels look-alike I'm consumption myself poison, and my organic structure reacts fittingly - i.e. a flare, or worse, a reversion - and I suffer the effect for a long, prolonged occurrence in a while.
Unfortunately, utmost of us CFS sufferers are retributive not powerfully built sufficient to refuse the poisons of drug of abuse.
So for utmost of us, it's sadly a legal proceeding of accepting it, or acquiring much, by a long way worsened.
As Dr Shepherd writes in his manuscript 'Living With M.E.':
"Some people who in the past enjoyed and tolerated orderly body process of drinkable short any harmful effects, now brainwave that even half-size amounts breed them a lot frail."
- p214, Dr Shepherd, 'Living With M.E.' -
So if you have M.E./CFS, it is promising that you may have mechanized an intolerance to beverage.
And that's not forgetting that intoxicant as well affects the personal effects of antidepressants (often nonarbitrary to CFS sufferers to kickshaw their weariness and to comfort sufferers have forty winks)! So if you're winning antidepressants, it's plainly something to accept in awareness.
Having CFS/ME can be a severely introverted and catastrophic undertake and downturn can be a particularly concrete and sincere grounds for a few CFS sufferers. So the second state of affairs you want is to give somebody a lift substances that bring in you perceive worse.
And hypothesize what?
Yep, you've construe it, alcoholic beverage is too a depressant. So it's not a remarkable article to get drunk if you're depressed!
And according to Dr Shepherd, tons sufferers sombrely do whirl to drink...
But street drug is no answer. Apart from in all likelihood fashioning you discern depressed, you could besides refine an inebriant dependency!
What's more, if you **are** beverage intolerant, consequently it would make it more harder for you to regain from M.E./CFS (pretty such out even), while you resource putt potable in your natural object.
And here's many much 'food for thought'...
When you meditate give or take a few how defectively a CFS unfortunate person can be unnatural by **one** alcoholic drink, afterwards how disappointingly could potable be touching you if you're intake more???
So in attendance you go - a in one piece catalogue of reasons why you may perhaps assume doubly roughly speaking drinking thing remotely wet patch you have CFS/M.E.
While you may no longest be street drug bigoted past you have well from CFS/M.E., it may fine be a trunk perpetrator for preventing you from **recovering** from your CFS/M.E while you increasingly have it.
I didn't cognize something like the come-at-able private property of drink once I original had Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome ...
... and I suffered the results. My disease got worse. A lot worse. And I was single having a small indefinite quantity of drinks now and again! So I prospect this article guns you next to ample content for you to gross an intellectual result just about alcoholic beverage any way.
You ne'er cognise - it may very well form the lack of correspondence...

Mohareb included as Al Ahly announce squad for Arab Championship
Al Ahly manager Hossam El-Badry has announced the team's squad which will...
Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has been very impressed by Arsenal latest signing Mohamed Elneny's adaptation to Premier League football.
Mohamed Elneny, who was voted Arsenal's March player of the month, has made a big impression on his new team-mate Laurent Koscielny, despite only joining the Gunners last January.
"When he signed I could see he was a good player with the ball and how he could make good passes," Laurent Koscielny told Arsenal's official website.
"He is not a player who takes the ball and goes from box to box with it, but he can help the team go higher up the pitch and keep the ball, which is very important."
"He doesn't lose many balls during a game, he has scored and he has played well. He signed three months ago so his adaptation to our philosophy at Arsenal and [to life] in England… I am very impressed with it."
The 23-year-old, who has made 10 appearance for the Gunners, has had a positive impact since joining the Gunners, as he was voted Arsenal's player of the month for March and also scored the March Goal of the Month against Barcelona at the Camp Nou.
Arsenal are currently third in the English Premier league with 59 points from 32 games. Their next game will be against struggling Crystal Palace at home on April 17.

By Ben Feller, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON Well, that was fast.
Just one day after Hurricane Gustav lashed the Gulf Coast with much less intensity than first feared, President Bush pivoted back to politics on Tuesday.
It was brief, but it was there.
Bush turned a hurricane statement into a case for oil drilling and blasted a familiar target: the Democratic Congress, which is less popular than he is.
A lashing at lawmakers for inaction is not unusual from Bush. But this one was. Timing and context can change everything in politics.
It was only Sunday, with a natural disaster looming, that Sen. John McCain ordered his party to take off its Republican hats and wear American ones. A deadly storm that might rival Hurricane Katrina was looming, so the Republican National Convention was cut back. Business-as-usual partisanship was declared out of order.
Then a weaker storm hit, the federal response went well, and the country seemed to take a collective sigh of relief.
So Bush put that Republican hat right back on.
In his first statement at the White House since returning from Gustav relief efforts in Texas, he talked about energy policy, telling reporters that the Gulf Coast's vital energy production was being assessed for storm damage, and that so far, the signs looked encouraging.
The president said one thing is clear: Lawmakers are to blame for holding up exploratory oil drilling off coastal waters.
"When Congress comes back, they've got to understand that we need more domestic energy, not less," Bush said.
Even for a statement focused on energy, it seemed an abrupt shift back to Bush's political agenda.
Boosting the oil supply is perhaps Bush's last viable legislative goal, since he has only about five months left in office.
So in about one minute, Bush got off a flurry of body blows on Democrats. His messages:
_ Lawmakers aren't doing enough to help families deal with gas prices: "They need to give us a chance to find more oil and gas here at home."
_ Lawmakers aren't breaking America's dependence on foreign oil: "I'd rather our dollar stay at home than go overseas."
_ Lawmakers are on vacation while problems go on: "I know the Congress has been on recess for a while, but this issue hasn't gone away."
_ Lawmakers have no excuses: "This storm should not cause the members of Congress to say, well, we don't need to address our energy independence."
The White House says Bush was making a logical connection between the storm, the oil rigs in the Gulf, and the need for more energy supply.
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said the president was not being partisan.
"I looked at those points; I don't think that they were at all even up to the line in terms of being political," Perino said. "And I would say that our opponents, the Democrats, use every day, every opportunity to bash this president, and I just don't think we're going to worry about it."
Before the hurricane changed things, this was to be the week that Bush planned to fade into the background at his Maryland mountaintop retreat at Camp David in deference to McCain.
That's another reason his comments stood out.
"I guess this just seems out of order, and crowds out McCain's message," said Paul Light, a public policy professor and presidential historian at New York University. "I don't think McCain's message is basically aimed at attacking Congress. It's country first and maverickhood."
The timing of the hurricane -- obviously beyond Bush's control -- put the president's agenda in flux.
He canceled his speech at the Republican convention in St. Paul, Minn. on Monday. The quiet Republican reaction was that McCain, who has made a point of distancing himself from Bush, caught something of a break by not having the president command the stage.
But then Bush popped back up on the agenda for Tuesday night. This time, his address was a short, live video feed from the White House.
"I'm sure the people at the convention felt it was necessary for the president to speak to his party," said Republican strategist Joe Gaylord. "It would be inconceivable that he would not have a message for the delegates."
His speech wasn't too politically aggressive: a few comments on the hurricane, then a determined account of why McCain is ready to lead.
"I know the hard choices that fall solely to a president," Bush said. "John McCain's life has prepared him to make those choices."
Still, earlier, reporters had pressed the White House: Was Bush not welcome to speak in person? Was it his call or McCain's? Is the convention trying to lower Bush's profile?
"You know what? I'm going to leave all the psycho-babble and the political psycho-babble to the press," said Perino, the White House spokeswoman.
The upshot from the White House, simply put, is that Bush was pleased to have the chance to address the delegates.
From the sounds of it all, Bush wore both his American hat and his Republican hat.
But in this odd week of events, one of them will have to come off again soon.
Bush is returning to the hurricane-relief mode Wednesday in Louisiana. Time for the presidential hat again.

Target: Margaret A. Hamburg, Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, and Tom Vilsack, United States Secretary of Agriculture
Goal: Test the genetically modified "Arctic Apple" for safety and ban its sale if it isn't proven safe for consumption
The Arctic Apple, a genetically modified apple designed not to turn brown when sliced, is likely to be approved by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for growing and selling in the United States this year. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not done any safety tests on it and is not required to.
The majority of crops in America are genetically modified. Little safety testing has been done on genetically modified food, but a study in China did find dangerous RNA in the blood of people who ate genetically modified rice, putting them at risk of high cholesterol levels. The type of RNA found in genetically modified food is meant to make the plant more resistant to disease, but when ingested by humans it can lead to cancer, Alzheimer's, and other health problems.
The Arctic Apple is considered a revolutionary technology in genetically modified food. While most genetically engineered plants are designed to make new proteins, the Arctic Apple produces a new double-strand of RNA that changes how genes are expressed. The gene that makes apples turn brown when exposed to oxygen will be completely shut off. Research has found that double-stranded RNAs can be transferred to humans and animals through food, with the potential to shut off our genes too.
If that wasn't bad enough, genetically modified apples have been found to carry 42 different pesticides, including organophosphates, which are used as the basis of nerve gases for chemical warfare. Tests conducted during apple season showed pesticide spikes in childrens' urine that exceeded government-defined safety levels. The Arctic Apple is even worse: the shut-off genes that turn the apple brown also serve to ward off insects, so even more pesticides will be added to it. Worst of all, the Arctic Apple is not going to be labeled, so consumers will have a hard time avoiding it if it is indeed put on shelves.
The Arctic Apple is manufactured by Okanagan Specialty Fruits. The Biotech Industry Organization will gather on April 23 in Chicago, where BIOTECanada will present its "Gold Leaf Award for Early Stage Agriculture" to Okanagan Specialty Fruits for its invention. The Organic Consumers Association is going to set up a picket line at the meeting to protest the approval of the Arctic Apple.
It is inexcusable that the USDA and FDA are willing to allow corporations to poison the food supply in order to gather their lobbyists' support. Demand that the FDA test the Arctic Apple for safety, and that the USDA ban the apple if it is not proven safe for consumption.
Dear Ms. Hamburg and Mr. Vilsack,
We are greatly concerned about the future sale of Okanagan Specialty Fruits' genetically modified "Arctic Apple." Genetically modified food in general can be damaging, but the Arctic Apple is likely to be even more so.
The Arctic Apple has double-strand RNA in it: a genetic material that shuts off certain genes. The dsRNA shuts down polyphenol oxidase, the gene that turns apples brown when exposed to oxygen. Studies have shown that when people ingest food with dsRNAs, they can be transferred to us and shut off human genes too.
Genetically modified apples have been found to contain 42 different pesticides, many of which contain organophosphates, the bases used in nerve gas. During apple season, it was discovered that pesticide levels in children's urine rocket above government-defined safety levels. In the case of Arctic Apples, polyphenol oxidase wards off insects as well as turning apples brown, so even more pesticides will be used to counteract the effect of shutting off the plants' natural defense.
The FDA has done little research on the effects of genetically modified food, and will not be required to test Arctic Apples for safety. But, for the sake of our health, we demand that the FDA test the chemicals in Arctic Apples for safety and that the USDA ban the sale of Arctic Apples if they are not fit for consumption. Nothing is worth allowing Okanagan Specialty Foods to poison the food supply.

This week a national news story broke concerning the fact that Taco Bell is being sued because their "beef" has been discovered not to contain enough beef to meet federal guidelines. Apparently they are accused of adding meat mixtures, binders and fillers.
In light of this, you might expect a radio station that is licensed to "SERVE THE PUBLIC INTEREST" to include this story in routine news coverage. The same way they would be expected to announce auto recalls in the interest of public safety.
So take a look at the memo sent around Squibb last week from the cluster Censor in chief.
Subject: Taco Bell,
Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2011 18:27:08 +0000
I've been asked by Dave Alpert to ask a favor of you all.
"Please no bashing Taco Bell."
There are some news stories out there about class action lawsuits going on. They are a client and they spend a large amount of money with us and they are hypersensitive to any criticism at the moment. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!
Thank You!

Should we expect no coverage on auto safety recalls because it will piss off the Toyota dealer?
Mr. Alpert, you really should be ashamed of yourself.
From the radio room: Anyone Surprised at this from corporate media America?

Honeymoon packages have become a specialty item on the agenda of many modern travel agents, and many couples are taking advantage of this new idea. Why not you?
Looking into honeymoon packages? That means that you really have an opportunity to turn your dreams into a reality! It used to be that you had to book your flight separately, arrange for your accommodations separately, and then - again, separately - sign up for tours or attractions of your choice once you got to your destination.
The point of honeymoon packages is that it's all done at once - it doesn't get any easier! But here are some tips to negotiating YOUR particular honeymoon package:
1. Know in advance that you can arrange EVERYTHING - from flights to hotel rooms to car rentals to tours to dinner reservations - with one agent.
2. Search - in the yellow pages of your phone book locally, or online - for a 'honeymoon specialist.' This is a travel agent who specializes in putting together dream honeymoon packages for clients. He or she will know ALL the best bargains and opportunities!
3. Give yourself as much lead time as possible - honeymoon packages can be arranged up to a year in advance, and the more time you have, the better opportunities your agent can seek out for you.
4. Consider, even if you are getting married in the high season, putting off your honeymoon package until the 'off-season', when rates are better and availability is higher. You could save hundreds of dollars!
5. Honeymoon packages are often theme-based. For example, maybe you both would love to take a cruise, or perhaps you're both up for some eco-adventuring. Have a destination country in mind, and know in advance what your budget will be. This will help your agent search out the perfect honeymoon packages to offer you, AND guarantee that you'll both have the best honeymoon possible!

If we go few years back around 15 to 20 years, we had no play stations or smartphones et all to entertain ourselves. We got joy out of playing outside with our friends and reading comics. Comic books not only provided entertainment but also took us to a magical world. Let's take a look at various Indian comic books that were our favourite when we were younger.
Undoubtedly, this was one of our top favourite. It had colouring exercises, picture puzzles, jokes, cartoon and interesting stories. Champak was certainly a comic book we loved with all our heart.

Wonderful stories taken from Indian mythology, folklore were its main ingredients. It made us familiar with our great culture.The never ending saga of Vikram and Betaal entralled us so much.

Chacha Choudhary
Chacha Choudhary; whose brain works faster than the computer, along with Sabu, whose anger causes a volcano to erupt kept us hooked to our comic till the very end of the story.

Motu and Patlu amused us with their antics by always landing in silly situations to our very amusement.

Nagraj's mission is to destroy all evil and terror from earth filled us with awe. It's beautiful graphics and gripping storyline was an instant favourite for us.
