Insomnia cures and treatments: Changing habits that disrupt sleep
Some of the things you're doing to cope with insomnia may actually be making the problem worse. For example, if you're using sleeping pills or alcohol to fall asleep, this will disrupt your sleep even more over the long-term. Or if you drink excessive amounts of coffee during the day, it will be more difficult to fall asleep later. Often, changing the habits that are reinforcing sleeplessness is enough to overcome insomnia altogether. It may take a few days for your body to get used to the change, but once you do, you will sleep better.
Using a sleep diary to identify insomnia-inducing habits
Some habits are so ingrained that you may overlook them as a possible contributor to your insomnia. Maybe your daily Starbucks habit affects your sleep more than you realize. Or maybe you've never made the connection between your late-night TV viewing or Internet surfing and your sleep difficulties. Keeping a sleep diary is a helpful way to pinpoint habits and behaviors contributing to your insomnia.
All you have to do is jot down daily details about your daytime habits, sleep routine, and insomnia symptoms. For example, you can keep track of when you go to sleep and when you wake up, where you fall asleep, what you eat and drink, and any stressful events that occur during the day.
Adopting new habits to help you sleep
- Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, and cool. Noise, light, and heat can interfere with sleep. Try using a sound machine or earplugs to hide outside noise, an open window or fan to keep the room cool, and blackout curtains or a sleep mask to block out light.
- Stick to a regular sleep schedule. Support your biological clock by going to bed and getting up at the same time every day, including weekends, even if you're tired. This will help you get back in a regular sleep rhythm.
- Avoid naps. Napping during the day can make it more difficult to sleep at night. If you feel like you have to take a nap, limit it to 30 minutes before 3 p.m.
- Avoid stimulating activity and stressful situations before bedtime. This includes vigorous exercise; big discussions or arguments; and TV, computer, or video game use. Instead, focus on quiet, soothing activities, such as reading, knitting, or listening to soft music, while keeping lights low.
- Don't read from a backlit device (such as an iPad). If you use an eReader, opt for one that is not backlit, i.e. one that requires an additional light source.
- Limit caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine. Stop drinking caffeinated beverages at least eight hours before bed. Avoid drinking alcohol in the evening; while alcohol can make you feel sleepy, it interferes with the quality of your sleep. Quit smoking or avoid it at night, as nicotine is a stimulant.
Preparing your brain for sleep
Your brain produces the hormone melatonin to help regulate your sleep-wake cycle. As melatonin is controlled by light exposure, not enough natural light during the day can make your brain feel sleepy, while too much artificial light at night can suppress production of melatonin and make it harder to sleep. To help naturally regulate your sleep-wake cycle and prepare your brain for sleep:
- Increase light exposure during the day. Take breaks outside in sunlight, remove sunglasses when it's safe to do so, and open blinds and curtains during the day.
- Limit artificial light at night. To boost melatonin production, use low-wattage bulbs, cover windows and electrical displays in your bedroom, avoid bright light and turn off television, smartphone, and computer screens at least one hour before bed. If you can't make your bedroom dark enough, try using a sleep mask.
Insomnia cures and treatments: Neutralizing anxiety when you can't sleep
The more trouble you have with sleep, the more it starts to invade your thoughts. You may dread going to sleep because you just know that you're going to toss and turn for hours or be up at 2 a.m. again. Or maybe you're worried because you have a big day tomorrow, and if you don't get a solid eight hours, you're sure you'll blow your presentation. But agonizing and expecting sleep difficulties only makes insomnia worse; worrying floods your body with adrenaline, and before you know it, you're wide-awake.
Learning to associate your bed with sleeping, not sleeplessness
Use the bedroom only for sleeping and sex. Don't work, watch TV, or use your computer or smartphone. The goal is to associate the bedroom with sleep and sex, so that when you get in bed your brain and body get a strong signal that it's time to nod off or be romantic.If sleep worries are getting in the way of your ability to unwind at night, the following strategies may help. The goal is to train your body to associate the bed with sleep, sex, and nothing else—especially not frustration and anxiety.
- Get out of bed when you can't sleep. Don't try to force yourself to sleep. Tossing and turning only amps up the anxiety. Get up, leave the bedroom, and do something relaxing, such as reading, drinking a warm cup of caffeine-free tea, taking a bath, or listening to soothing music. When you're sleepy, go back to bed.
- Move bedroom clocks out of view. Anxiously watching the minutes tick by when you can't sleep—knowing that you're going to be exhausted when the alarm goes off—is a surefire recipe for insomnia. You can use an alarm, but make sure you can't see the time when you're in bed.
|Challenging self-defeating thoughts that fuel insomnia
|Self-defeating thought
|Sleep-promoting comeback
Unrealistic expectations: I should be able to sleep well every night like a normal person.
Lots of people struggle with sleep from time to time. I will be able to sleep with practice.
Exaggeration: It's the same every single night, another night of sleepless misery.
Not every night is the same. Some nights I do sleep better than others.
Catastrophizing: If I don't get some sleep, I'll tank my presentation and jeopardize my job.
I can get through the presentation even if I'm tired. I can still rest and relax tonight, even if I can't sleep.
Hopelessness: I'm never going to be able to sleep well. It's out of my control.
Insomnia can be cured. If I stop worrying so much and focus on positive solutions, I can beat it.
Fortune telling: It's going to take me at least an hour to get to sleep tonight. I just know it.
I don't know what will happen tonight. Maybe I'll get to sleep quickly if I use the strategies I've learned.
Remember, replacing self-defeating thoughts takes time and practice. You may find it helpful to jot down your own list, taking note of the negative thoughts that pop up and how you can dispute them.
Insomnia cures and treatments: Harnessing your body's relaxation response
Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, yoga, and tai chi can help quiet your mind and relieve tension. They can also help you fall asleep faster and get back to sleep more quickly if you awaken in the middle of the night. And all without the side effects of sleep medication!
Relaxation techniques that can help you sleep
It takes regular practice to master relaxation techniques but the benefits can be huge. You can do them as part of your bedtime routine, when you are lying down preparing for sleep, and if you wake up in the middle of the night.
- Abdominal breathing. Most of us don't breathe as deeply as we should. When we breathe deeply and fully, involving not only the chest, but also the belly, lower back, and ribcage, it can help relaxation. Close your eyes and take deep, slow breaths, making each breath even deeper than the last. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.
- Progressive muscle relaxation. Lie down or make yourself comfortable. Starting with your feet, tense the muscles as tightly as you can. Hold for a count of 10, and then relax. Continue to do this for every muscle group in your body, working your way up from your feet to the top of your head.
Insomnia cures and treatments: Using supplements and medication wisely
When you're tossing and turning at night, it can be tempting to turn to sleep aids for relief. However, no sleeping pill will cure the underlying cause of your insomnia, and some can even make the problem worse in the long run. Before taking any sleep aid or medication, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Dietary supplements for insomnia
There are many dietary and herbal supplements marketed for their sleep-promoting effects. Some remedies, such as lemon balm or chamomile tea, are generally harmless, while others can have side effects and interfere with other medications.
They don't work for everyone, but two of the most popular supplements are:
- Melatonin – a naturally occurring hormone that your body produces at night. Evidence suggests that melatonin supplements may be effective for short-term use, especially in preventing or reducing jet-lag. However, there are potential side-effects, including next-day drowsiness.
- Valerian – an herb with mild sedative effects that may help you sleep better. However, the quality of valerian supplements varies widely.
Over the counter (OTC) sleep aids
The main ingredient in over-the-counter (OTC) sleeping pills is an antihistamine, generally taken for allergies, hay fever and common cold symptoms. OTC sleep aids are meant to be used for short-term insomnia only. Sleep experts generally advise against their use because of side effects, questions about their effectiveness, and lack of information about their safety over the long term.
Prescription sleeping pills for insomnia
While prescription sleep medications can provide temporary relief, it's best to use medication only as a last resort, and then, only on a very limited, as-needed basis. First, try changing your sleep habits, your daily routine, and your attitudes about sleep. Evidence shows that lifestyle and behavioral changes make the largest and most lasting difference when it comes to insomnia.
If you've tried the insomnia cures and treatments listed above and are still having trouble getting the sleep you need, a doctor or sleep disorder specialist may be able to help. Seek professional help for insomnia if:
- Your insomnia doesn't respond to self-help strategies
- Your insomnia is causing major problems at home, work, or school
- You're experiencing scary symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath
- Your insomnia occurs almost every night and is getting worse
Bring a sleep diary with you. Your doctor may be able to diagnose an illness or sleep disorder that's causing your insomnia, or refer you to a sleep specialist or cognitive behavioral therapist.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for insomnia
CBT is aimed at breaking the cycle of insomnia. Poor sleep tends to lead to stress and anxious thoughts about not being able to sleep. This in turn leads to stress and tension, which leads to poor sleeping habits, such as the use of sleeping pills or alcohol to sleep or taking daytime naps to make up for lost sleep. This leads to worsening insomnia and so on.
The Vicious Cycle of Insomnia
As well as improving sleep habits, CBT is aimed at changing thoughts and feelings about sleep that may be causing stress and contributing to your insomnia.
While CBT can be a much safer and more effective insomnia treatment than sleeping pills, it's not an instant remedy but one that requires time and persistence. Your sleep may even get worse at first if your therapist recommends sleep restriction therapy, whereby you initially shorten your sleep time. The idea is that by limiting the time you spend in bed to the number of hours you actually sleep, say from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m., you'll spend less time awake and more time asleep. As your sleep efficiency increases you'll gradually start going to bed earlier and getting up later until you reach your optimum sleep schedule.

We sold our house within 8 hours of the listing being posted on the NAP website (received the inquiry to inspect before it had even hit any other real estate portals). The offer was made that evening - no open inspections needed and didn't even have enough time to put the sign out the front. We have also just recently sold our investment property through NAP, which only took 2 weeks. The price we got for both properties was WELL OVER what we were advised by a couple of real estate agencies & saved ourselves over $15,000 in commissions. For those who are thinking of selling your property yourself - just DO IT and please give No Agent Property a call.

a bigger cabin
When we purchased this wee cabin, the former owners took the curtains with them, leaving some bamboo roller shades --- which offered NO privacy at all. So we quickly bought the only curtains we could find locally.
Now after over three years, we were able to remove the curtains and replace the old shades with shades that have a privacy liner. And they make the cabin look HUGE to us!

Really nice space, Vicky... And you have three windows for one room...!ReplyDeleteReplies
Besides a kitchenette, a smallish bedroom and postage-stamp size bathroom, this is all the living space we have in the cabin! Plus a loft that has a guest bed and my "studio". I love having such a small space to keep clean!Delete
What a lovely cabin! Isn't it amazing what a difference a small change like that can make?ReplyDeleteReplies
We absolutely love it here! We raised our 4 kids in a huge 1913 bungalow; all but one had left home when we downsized to the 1920 apartment building that we renovated. Then we downsized even more to retire in the heart of Texas. This is my dream home!Delete
With seasonal allergies, it is much easier to breathe without those curtains or carpeting.

Turquoise Accents, Part 2
• 09 February 2009
Remember the post last week about "turquoise accents"? Well, I couldn't resist adding my own after finding a few pillows at Homegoods for $13 each. The pillows had some wooden beads embroidered on the buttons, but after careful execution with a pair of narrow scissors, I was able to detach them all for a cleaner look. With all the gray at this time of year, it's so nice to add a fun color like turquoise, which surprisingly doesn't look too "summery".

Week in Microsoft: trolling other OSes for fun and prof
With the launch of Windows 7 coming up next month, Microsoft is working hard to get the message out about how its flagship product compares to its rivals. Tales of Microsoft trolling the competition top this week's list of the biggest Microsoft stories.
It started out with Linux. Microsoft training material for Best Buy employeeswhich not only makes Linux look bad, but is also full of inaccuraciesleaked to the Web. The idea was to dispel Linux myths from the facts.
Next up was Apple. A Best Buy insider sent us screencaps from another Microsoft presentation. It not only makes Macs look bad, but is also full of inaccuracies. We've got screenshots and commentary on that presentation, too.
Over at the Cowboys Stadium, it looks like somebody didn't shut down one of the Windows computers properly. The embarrassing message flashed during Cowboys Stadium's national debut, ensuring that the Oklahoma Sooners weren't the only ones in the arena with a red face.
A new Office 2010 Mondo build has leaked into the wild and it seems to be an early beta. The build number is 14.0.4417.1000, and we have screenshots, including the new icons.
Microsoft is preparing a huge Windows 7 marketing campaign. We don't know yet know what it will be like, but three concept videos are giving us a big hint.
What appears to be the first Windows 7 commercial has made its way online. It features a little girl by the name of Kylie, who some will remember from a previous Microsoft advertising campaign.
Microsoft is investigating reports of a new vulnerability that affects both Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, ultimately issuing Security Advisory 975497 in regards to the issue. There are a couple of workarounds for the flaw.
If you live outside of the US and want to buy one of the upcoming Zune HDs, you're out of luck. Microsoft has confirmed that it currently has no plans to offer it for sale elsewhere in the world.
Add an encounter with an employee's iPhone to the list of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's antics at company events. Ballmer took the offending device, made some sarcastic comments about it, and continued to tease the offending employee throughout the evening.
Microsoft has released a Laptop Hunters "Behind the Scenes" video. We're wondering if this video is meant to wrap things up before the Windows 7 campaign debuts.

Windows 7 7100 build
Well the normal person in truth is in fact most likely not going to want to deal with Linux. About that memo they sent BestBuy.
I have no problem with Linux and it sure has its spot, but not for an average home user looking to buy a laptop/desktop.
If I was selling someone a computer I would not recommend them a linux box unless they knew what they were talking about.
Just my opinion.

Comme Ça: A modern French brasserie
Far be it for me to ever complain about another French brasserie-style restaurant in Las Vegas. But already home to such restaurants as Mon Ami Gabi, Morels and Bouchon, Las Vegas isn't hurting for French brasseries. However, I find Comme Ça fills both my desire to have delicious French food and an inspiring atmosphere.
On the third level of the Cosmopolitan, a trendy, vibrant hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, Comme Ça creates a much more modern, sleek design and atmosphere than its other French counterparts. The old-school brasserie lighting fixtures give way to honey-yellow blown glass fixtures that glow in the evening. The usual dark woods and brown overtones are replaced with shades of light gray and pops of ruby red.
The front bar area offers a lounge-like room with low-back chairs and comfortable booths. There is also an outdoor patio with stunning views of the Las Vegas Strip.
While the décor is updated, the food from Chef David Myers is fresh and flavorful. It is standard French bistro fare — done well.
When I chatted with Myers, he seemed enthusiastic about his French bistro being at the Cosmopolitan and in Vegas.
"I was really excited to be able to come to Vegas just because there is such a high caliber of restaurants and chefs. It's almost like you're in New York or Paris when you get this concentration of chefs together," said Myers.
With that level of high competition, Myers is on his "A" game. On a recent trip to Comme Ça, I was treated to items like the Grand Plateau, a two-tiered presentation full of chilled seafood like raw oysters, mussels, lobster, crab and shrimp.
Quite possibly one of my favorite menu items is the cream of mushroom soup. The ultimate comfort food, this aromatic creamy, velvety soup is served over a tender foie gras agnolotti. I could probably eat it every day.
For an appetizer, the roasted bone marrow is succulent and delicious. A five-inch bone is split in half length-wise. Then, the fatty tissue inside of the beef bone is roasted to a crisp on the outside but still tender on the inside. At Comme Ça, spread a little over toast with a little oxtail jam and lemon parsley.
The crispy skate Grenobloise is served simply, with lemon, butter and capers. The fish is light and tender on the inside with a crisp flaky exterior. There are several "Cote de Boeuf" or cuts of beef on the menu, including a perfectly marbled ribeye that goes great with pommes frites.
With dishes like these, Myers has nothing to worry about. The view of the Las Vegas Strip and lively dining room satiates my need for entertainment and the delicious food satiates my appetite. The concept works.
"Like any city, you have to do the best job you can. You have to deliver the experience you say you're going to deliver and if you deliver an experience people like, they'll come back," said Myers.
They will indeed.

In the Macho Sport of Football, Coaching Love Wins Over Violence

And if you think that made one weak team, think again: Link [embedded YouTube clip]

In a brief press conference on Friday afternoon, Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) confirmed that he has no intention of stepping down as the Republican candidate for senator from Missouri and made it clear that he is not involved in any negotiations to do so.
"There are some people who are having trouble understanding my message," Akin began. "We are going to be here through the November election. … There may be some negotiations, but they don't include me."
Only a small number of questions were taken after Akin's opening remarks, and none of them touched directly on his statements about rape. One journalist did ask Akin why he thought some GOP leaders were calling for him to step aside, to which he replied, "I may not be the favorite candidate of some people within the Republican establishment."
Ryan became a center of controversy earlier this week, after he claimed that "legitimate rape" rarely lead to pregnancy.
Several high-level Republicans then called for him to step aside, including Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and fellow pro-life congressmen and VP candidate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).
Akin sent out a fundraising letter on Friday, claiming to aim for a goal of raising $212,000 by midnight. Akin already raised $206,000 in the wake of his remarks.
A spokesperson also reported threats against himself, Akin and the congressman's family in the wake of the remarks, according to the local Fox station.
A local reporter tweeted that he is expected to stay in the race.

New updated picture of my yellow farmhouse onions!
My last pictures of these onions were not very good so I was able to get some better ones with better lighting. I will try to get some new pictures of the red ones too. I love making these. I keep picking them up to smell them... They need to make an onion scented oil...smile
I am working on some new veggies today. Thanks for visiting and hope you have a great week!

Microsoft Windows PCs are having disk defragmentation application (Start ==> Accessories ==> System Tools ==> Disk Defragmenter) pre-installed on any Windows OS edition, but that is not having real time defragmentation feature. If you want to have 100% defragmented disk any time on your computer, you will need an application which keeps defragmenting the disk real time.
Here is the screenshot of Disk Defragmenter available in Windows,hard disk of computer, that may be stored in fragmented manner where disk will have to rotate for more to read at the time of fetching that data. If the disk is defragmented, it will take less time for the reader to read the data from the disk.
Here we are talking about the real time defragmentation process, which helps in having a high performance disk. Auslogics Disk Defrag is a free to download disk defragmentation application which is having a feature of real time disk defragmentation. It also includes features like defragmentation scheduling which is also available in default disk defragmenter available in Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.
Screenshots of Auslogics disk defrag settings panel for auto-defrag,
Screensaver shows CPU usage, RAM Info, Hard Disk activity
You will have to enable Real Time defragmentation in Auslogics and to do that, you will have to install the application and then go to "View" option available under the menu bar. Select "Auto Defragmentation" from there. Now a new window will open where you can check the box saying "Auto-defragment when system is idle for" box. Select the time in the next box. On this window, you can control the real time defragmenter. If you want to only defragment the system files (Essential files of Windows), then select the box Auto-defrag the system disk only.

There are lot many defragmenter available to download but the Microsoft's default defragmenter available in Windows 7 is also very effective. But for real time defragmentation, you can download and install Auslogics Disk Defrag on Windows PC.

Submitting Supplemental Material for Conference Publications
"Supplemental material" is additional material which will help better document your main submission, be it a paper or a course or an animation. This material can include, but is not restricted to, images, QuickTime or MPEG animations, source code, and HTML or VRML presentations. You are not required to submit supplemental material, only encouraged.
Overview (or, "The Big Picture")
If you choose to submit supplemental material to enhance your main submission, you'll need to prepare this material in accordance with the guidelines in this document and deliver it to the appropriate production editor for the conference's CD-ROM publication by the deadline noted below.
Deadline Information
The deadline for the receipt of your supplemental material is 28 April 2000. This is a firm deadline. The CD-ROM production editor who will receive your material will be receiving material from many other people, and will need to process all of it in a very short time.
Delivery and Contact Information
Please follow these instructions for making your supplemental material available for the CD-ROM production editor:
- If you have more than one file to submit, use a archive-creation tool ("pkzip" on PCs, "tar" on UNIX, "Stuffit" on Macintosh) and create one archive file to be delivered.
- Make the single file available online at your Web or FTP site, and send e-mail to Lou Katz, the CD-ROM production editor for the SIGGRAPH 2000 EAAC and CAA CD-ROMs, at "firstname.lastname@example.com" with the location and name of your file.
- If you cannot make the file available at your Web or FTP site, please send e-mail to Lou Katz at "firstname.lastname@example.com" and he will create a directory for you into which you can upload your file.
Copyright Information
All material used by the author in their supplemental must have proper copyright clearance. If you are unsure of the copyright status of particular images, sounds, or video clips used in your supplemental material, please contact the ACM SIGGRAPH Director for Publications, Stephen Spencer, at "email@example.com" immediately.
File Formats
As mentioned above, supplemental material can include a number of different formats: images, source code, HTML presentations, multimedia presentations, or Quicktime or MPEG animations. There are a few guidelines which should be followed when considering submitting supplemental material of specific types.
Still Images
The preferred format for still images is TIFF. JPEG and GIF images are acceptable, though the image quality will not be as high as with TIFF. If you do submit TIFF images, please make sure they are not LZW-compressed.
QuickTime and MPEG Animations
Animation files in QuickTime and MPEG formats will be accepted as supplemental material. If you submit a QuickTime animation, please make sure that it is compressed with the Cinepak codec. Other codecs are not universally readable, and uncompressed QuickTime movies are far too large to be placed on the CD-ROM.
Papers, Technical Notes, PowerPoint Presentations
Documents such as these should be converted to Adobe Acrobat ("PDF") format or to PostScript format before submitting. Adobe Acrobat format is preferred.
HTML, VRML, and Java
HTML presentations, VRML presentations, and Java presentations are acceptable as supplemental material. There are two very important guidelines to follow, however:
(1) your presentation should not require links to external resources for navigation elements (buttons, images, or other artwork)
(2) the ISO-9660 file naming format must be followed. Presentations which do not conform to the "8.3" naming format will not be processed and placed on the CD-ROM. (For more information, please see the "File and Directory Naming" section below.)
It is suggested that authors prepare "zip" or "tar" archives of material that does not conform to the "8.3" file naming formats for inclusion as supplemental material, and instructions for the user on the preparation of that material.
File and Directory Naming
All SIGGRAPH CD-ROM publications follow the ISO 9660 Level 1 standard, in order to support as many computer platforms as possible.
Certain guidelines must be followed when naming file and directories under the ISO 9660 standard:
(1) Filenames are limited to eight lower-case letters, a period, and a three-character file extension. The extension is optional.
(2) Filenames must contain only lower-case letters, numbers, and the underscore character.
(3) Directory names are limited to eight lower-case letters.
Certain standard filename extensions should be used in the preparation of your supplemental material for consistency and ease of use. The following examples show a number of these extensions and their file types:
Documentation of Your Supplemental Material
If you have instructions that you wish only the production editor to see and read, include an ASCII text file named "readme.ed" in your submission. This file will not be included on the CD-ROM.
If you have instructions for the end user, include an ASCII text file named "readme.usr" in your submission. This file will be included on the CD-ROM.
Questions or Comments
If you have any questions or comments regarding this document or the preparation and delivery of your supplemental material, please contact Stephen Spencer at "email@example.com".

Recently, I wrote about the best photos of 2006, in particular highlighting National Geographic's portraits of wildlife.
I spent a day on one of my favorite sunny California beaches last year trying to photograph sea life in all its forms.
I came up with a lot of shots that I liked. I didn't realize how much I liked this photo until I uploaded it to my notebook.
There are several reasons why this is one of my favorite photos:
- The texture. California beach photos often look flat, but they can also take on a life of their own. This photo captures the grainy texture of the surrounding rock and sand. It also aptly catches the spikes of the anemone, making them appear like toothpicks, when in fact they're very flexible.
- The color. The pinks work well with the browns, "popping" in a way I wouldn't have expected. I think the contrast is great and unexpected too.
- There's an aspect of freshness around the sea anemone; the brown terrain looks aged next to it. This is probably the best part of the photo, because it shows that the anemone is a living thing, constantly cleaning itself by its natural movement, while emphasizing the stillness of the background.
Everyday Photographer Tip of the Day: Be cautious when deleting photos from your digital camera. You may have better shots than you know, but won't realize their brilliance until you upload them to your PC.
If the uploaded photos are not similar to how you viewed them with your naked eye, go to your favorite photo editing application and use Hue/Saturation as well as Brightness/Contrast tools to accentuate the natural colors and contrast inherent in the subject and surrounding environment.
I do not view editing tools in a negative light as long as they're not used to deceive the viewer. For instance, a few more notches to the left or right on the Hue/Saturation bar and the image would not have been properly represented. It is every photographer's choice to create surreal effects as long as the viewer is notified. But rest assured. The colors in this photograph are the colors I saw while viewing this beautiful creature with my naked eye.

Portrait of the Bridal Party:
Judges Comment: Very creative. Love the color and light.
Judges Comment: This has a beautiful ethereal quality.
Judges Comment: Great execution of an idea.
Judges Comment: Not sure what these guys did, but its different and captured my interest. Good use of black and white and strong composition.
Judges Comment: The low point of view and wide angle work well.
Judges Comment: Nice angle and strong color.
Judges Comment: This is an old idea that is nicely redone. The motion vignette is a tasteful addition.
Judges Comment: The spontaneity of this group portrait makes it a winner. The layers add intrigue and the crisp B&W tones help the viewer experience their joy.
Judges Comment: Strong design and graphic appeal.
Judges Comment: Great sense of design and strong graphic. Love the height relationships and the reflection is a wonderful touch.
Judges Comment: I like how you dont feel the photographers presence in this image. The shadows on the wall are somewhat distracting, but the soft color is a nice complement to the mood.
Judges Comment: Very fun portrait. Im sure this was not easy to pull off, but the photographer managed all the elements brilliantly. The wide range of colors adds to its energy.
Judges Comment: Good use of black and white, and styling to create a strong character study.
Judges Comment: Very clever use of light. A subtle, but effective portrait.

Join Chris Orwig for an in-depth discussion in this video Photo review: Composition examples, part of Narrative Portraiture: Foundations of Portraiture.
In the next couple of movies we're going to look at two different…sets of photographs and discuss how we can work with composition in order to…communicate something different.…So here in this first movie, we will go ahead and turn off the lights and we are…going to look at a slideshow of photographs.…Now these photographs are portraits I captured of Shawn Stussy.…Shawn is a really fascinating person, an amazing artist.…Well I am going to start off by taking a look at him in his studio.…So go ahead and take a look at this first image and here you can see him…surrounded by some of his tools on a workbench and he is constantly creating.…
I started off depicting Shawn inside window light and I like this, but I wanted…to create images that were a little bit more simple. I wanted to do something…that had a bit more of an edge to it.…We're right in front of his studio is a concrete wall and a concrete driveway.…Now visually it's not very interesting.…But I knew that it would allow for some interesting opportunities to communicate…
In this first installment, Chris lays the groundwork for the series. The course begins with a discussion of portraiture and the characteristics that make an effective, story-filled portrait. Chris then explains the importance of establishing a connection with a subject and identifying those details that will help tell his or her story. Next, he explores elements such as location, natural lighting, and composition. The course concludes with an exploration of gear: the creative options that various lenses and cameras provide, and techniques for shooting efficiently and unobtrusively.
- The elements of narrative portraiture
- Choosing locations and working with natural light
- Connecting with your subject to better tell a story
- Composition strategies
- Choosing lenses and selecting gear for a shoot
- Camera-handling tips

As someone who struggled for years and years with acne, I know how frustrating the process can be. After trying to clear my skin on my own with countless drugstore products and even a few infomercial purchases, I FINALLY decided it was time to seek out an expert opinion. I was embarrassed to reach out for help. The idea of having anyone see me without a thick layer of makeup made me cringe. Turns out, scheduling that appointment was one of the wisest decisions I've ever made. Not only did the recommended combination of prescriptions, products and treatments alleviate my existing acne, they've kept my skin clear and healthy for over eight years now.
The best advice I can offer is, DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP!

My trip to the Hole in the Bottom of the Sea
Image via farhanazam015
When I signed up to take Tropical Ecology as an undergraduate at Loyola University New Orleans, I had no idea that the final exam would be a two-week trip to Belize. Imagine my surprise on the first day of class as my professor, Dr. Bob, explained that we'd be spending time at a jaguar sanctuary, in a modern Mayan village and on an uninhabited island in the Caribbean to learn first-hand about the flora and fauna of the tropics. I packed up my dad's old yellow hiking backpack with sunscreen and bathing suits and got ready to explore Belize.
After 10 days of exploring the Cockscombe Basin Wildlife Sanctuary and living among the modern Maya in a remote village, we traded our hiking boots for flip-flops, boarded a boat in Belize City called Captain Hoho and headed out to Half Moon Caye.
Half Moon Caye, via TripAdvisor
Half Moon Caye is a tiny 40-acre island located about 50 miles southeast of Belize City. It is a National Monument in Belize, which means that no one lives there, save for one lucky caretaker. It is the closest I've ever seen to a real desert island—just an expanse of sand and palm trees that is home to about 4000 Red-Footed Boobies. By night, we dined on freshly caught fish by the shore, and slept in hammocks strung up between the palm trees, swinging gently in the sea breeze.
Belizean hammocks, via TripAdvisor
By day, we explored the clear Caribbean waters around us, some of us snorkeling and others scuba diving. We swam with schools of enormous grouper, so close that we could feel their scaly bodies slipping past our arms and legs in the water. We watched crabs scuttle sideways along the seafloor. We saw brightly colored fish of every hue, the likes of which we'd never seen outside of an aquarium.
School of grouper, via www.reef.org
One magical day, Captain Hoho sputtered to a stop over the Lighthouse Reef at the edge of the Great Blue Hole. I had never seen ocean water that color—a deep, rich navy blue. We suited up, and we dove in.
What we experienced there is beyond words. Feeling the pull of the abyss below you, tiger sharks circling in the murky dark… I breathed a long wowwwwwwww into my snorkel before I could stop myself.
I don't have photographic evidence of my own trip into the blue, but check out this great video of MSNBC's Matt Lauer's dive into the Great Blue Hole to get a feel for what I experienced that day:
My trip to Belize and the Great Blue Hole was an unforgettable experience that I will carry with me forever. Of course, I was delighted when I had the opportunity to pull from my own experience when we decided to set our version of A Hole in the Bottom of the Sea at Great Blue Hole. It is such a joy to bring the magic of this incredible place to a new generation of young explorers. I love how the book turned out, and I hope you'll love it too. Anchors aweigh!

Jamaica players (pictured) gather for a group photo ahead of their Caribbean under-20 women's qualifier against Haiti on November 24, 2017, in Basseterre, St. Kitts & Nevis.
BASSETERRE, St. Kitts & Nevis – Jamaica secured a berth in the 2018 CONCACAF Under-20 Women's Championship on the strength of a first-place finish in the final round of Caribbean qualifying, which concluded Sunday at Warner Park.
In reaching the CONCACAF event for a ninth time, the Reggae Girlz were impressive over the event's three matchdays, posting a perfect 3-0-0 record, while scoring 11 goals without reply.
"Getting to another CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship is a wonderful feeling," said Jamaica head coach Xavier Gilbert. "Being amongst the best eight teams in the region is something to be proud about.
"We accomplished the final round of [Caribbean qualifying] with three clean sheets, so that is something to be proud of. Also, we scored eleven goals, so we are slowly, but surely, building momentum for the CONCACAF event in Trinidad & Tobago."
Jamaica's best-ever CONCACAF U-20 placement came in 2006, when it captured fourth place. Next January, Gilbert is aiming a spot in the knockout stages. The top three sides will qualify for the 2018 FIFA Women's U-20 World Cup in France.
"It is going to be difficult with the likes of Mexico and the United States and Nicaragua in our group," he finished. "However, our girls are up to the challenge of excelling. We want to qualify for the U-20 Women's World Cup. We have never qualified for a FIFA tournament for women, so we want to make history."
Jamaica, Mexico and the United States are the only teams to earn places in every CONCACAF Under-20 Women's Championship.

Well pleased customerBy Mrsdee January 27, 2017 I think this is one of the best wigs I have ever purchased. I love the price, color, and texture of the wig. The curls in the wig are just the right size, not too big and not too small. I have had many compliments on the color of the wig, the color is even more beautiful in the sunlight. I have a very busy lifestyle, and my Marissa (Black Purple) wig is so carefree I have more time in the morning for another cup of coffee.

Best animal hospital around!
Provided by Citysearch
Posted by LauraNY on 03/20/2008
This is an amazing animal clinic. Both doctors clearly love animals and do everything they can if something is wrong, and have an excellent manner with them. I have taken my dog there for both regular check-ups and serious concerns, and seen both vets, and they have both taken the time to thoroughly examine my dog and make sure I knew everything I needed to know, also giving me time to ask questions. The reception staff is extremely helpful in making appointments, even last-minute ones. They are also very accomodating for product pick-ups; since I could not get there until after they closed during the week, they would leave a bag on the door with my name so my dog could have her meds on time. I just cannot say enough good things about this clinic...I moved to NYC a little less than a year ago, and I wish I could have brought them with me!

Testimony from Norm + Karen Metz
We have been with Dr. Russo + Dr. J. for 20 years + couldn't be happier. We trust them completely with our most prized possession...our little Beagle. Sadie Mae loves to go to the vet as they spoil her rotten. When an exterminator treated our patio while we were gone from the house for a few minutes + we didn't know it, she became deathly ill. Dr. Russo was sure she had ingested poison + he saved her life for which we will be forever grateful. We had another dog for 13 years who succumbed to cancer. Both doctors were there when we really needed them the most. They were compassionate, understanding + thoughtful. The staff at Animal Hospital at the Marketplace have always been
professional + courteous. We highly recommend them + give them an A+!
Norm + Karen Metz
If you are looking for a veterinary clinic in the western communities, then you should definitely visit Dr. J and Dr. Russo. They are excellent! I came to them 10 years ago when my existing vet was making quick decisions that I was uncomfortable with. I came to Dr. J for a second opinion and it was definitely the right choice. It turned out that my 3 year old Weimaraner/Vizsla Mix, Emma, had a mast cell tumor. By doing research ahead of time, Dr. J was able to plan to the surgery carefully so we got the best result. With a successful surgery and excellent follow-up care, Emma lived until she was over 12 years old. I know we are fortunate and that cancer is hard to treat but I am convinced that Dr. J and his team played a huge part in helping Emma live a long happy and healthy life with us! Now we have our Weimaraner Roxie who loves them too!
They take their time, are caring and helpful and the followup is amazing. They consistently and cheerfully call to check in after illness or surgery. They have excellent coverage so there is always a doctor available and the two of them are an wonderful team covering for each other and keeping up to date on each other's patients. The vet techs and the staff complete this strong team.
Go see Dr. J and Dr. Russo today, you will be glad you did!

Simpy the Best
Hard to believe that we've been with the Clinic for about 12 years. Dr. J has seen us thru the best of times and the worst. The staff is fabulous, caring and clearly love animals. We have the "overly friendly lab", the "I'm
not sure Golden" and okay so "I'm here because they insisted".
With all our animals, they've been observant, proactive and sensitive to their needs. Dr. Russo has been a great stand-in for the times when we've had serious situations and together they provide the best possible care for our dear creatures. We consider ourselves lucky and blessed pet owners to have found such a great doctor and a great team!Gretchen and Gustavo Agusti

Canon's new products include a super high-end camera, new Ixus offerings, new photo printers and a projector.
Canon today announced another batch of new products, including new digital cameras, new scanners, new photo printers and even a new range of photo papers to go with them.
The Ixus is one of Canon's most successful line of compact cameras, and it expects to sell its 10 millionth in October 2004. The range is now joined by the Ixus 40 and the Ixus 30. Canon claims these are the smallest cameras to ever feature a 3x optical zoom. They are also the first to employ Canon's Digic II processor, which ensures faster image processing and playback.
The Ixus 40 is a 4 Megapixel camera, while the Ixus 30 offers 3.2 Megapixels, good enough for prints up to A4 and A3 in size. The cameras are extremely thin – 20.7 mm (Digital IXUS 40) and 21.1mm (Digital IXUS 30), weighing just 115 and 130g respectively. The diminutive sizes are made possible by a string of technological advances, including the new UA lens, slimmer LCD, improved circuit assembly techniques and a smaller, more efficient battery.
The biggest improvement over the current range is in the cameras' movie taking abilities. The movies can be up to 1GB in size or when using high-speed SD cards are only limited by the capacity of the card. They are also the first digital still cameras in the world to feature up to one minute of 60 fps QVGA quality, which allows for in-camera slow motion replay at various user-selectable speeds.
The Digital Ixus 40 and Ixus 30 will be available from October 2004 for a suggested retail price of £319 and £249 including VAT respectively.
At the high end, Canon has released the EOS-1Ds Mark II. This is a professional digital SLR camera boasting a humungous resolution of 16.7 Megapixel. It replaces the award winning 11.1 Megapixel EOS-1Ds.
The new camera now has sufficient resolution to produce files which convert to a 50MB uncompressed TIFF at 24bit colour depth, considered a standard acceptable size by leading international photo agencies and stock libraries.
The feature laden camera offers features such as an optional wireless adaptor that provides 802.11b/g wireless LAN and 100Mbit/sec wired LAN support.
Other key camera specifications include:
• 16.7 MP full frame 36 x 24mm CMOS sensor
• 0.3 second start up and 4fps performance
• ISO 100-1600, expandable to L:50 and H:3200
• Digital Photo Professional v1.5 RAW processing software with support for sRGB, Adobe RGB and wide gamut RGB colour spaces, plus various European, North American and Japanese standard CMYK separation simulations
• Hi-Speed FireWire and Video out interface for complete connectivity
• Dual high performance SD and CF/CF-II card slots (supports cards greater than 2GB)
• Complete compatibility to all EF lenses & EX-series Speedlites
• 2.0" LCD screen with 230,000 pixels, 1.5-10x playback zoom
• Simultaneous RAW & JPEG shooting
• Battery life – approximately 1200 shots at 20C, 800 at 0C – in accordance with CIPA testing standards
The EOS-1Ds MKII will be available from November 2004 for an RRP of £6000 including VAT.

Is FT Island's Lee Hong Ki dating Japanese model Ai Shinozaki?
Rumors have recently been flying around that FT Island's Lee Hong Ki has been dating the Japanese model Ai Shinozaki for more than 6 months. Their relationship apparently began last October, and fans say they have spotted the two celebrities together on multiple occasions.

They also added that "Hong Ki has promoted in Japan with FT Island for a very long time. During this time, we believe he got to know Shinozaki Ai through a local friend."

Biffo Boris blogs blotto
Sorry Boris, two words why our constitution does not care about Gordon Brown becoming PM before he gets his own mandate, and why all your indignation is so much horse feathers:
John Major
2 comments:
Hmm Cicero let me take you up on these developments: "Senior Liberal Democrats, including some of the party's young high fliers, reacted with horror and fury to the news, which dominated two meetings of MPs yesterday..They protested that a clique of "elderly Scots" - including Sir Menzies and one of his closest aides, Lord Kirkwood of Kirkhope - had got too close to Mr Brown and the Scottish Labour establishment."
These are not Tories saying this but Lib Dems. I know a few Tories in unwinnable seats who had been toying with the idea of at least electing anti ID cards MPs in Lab Lib seats if they could not have a Tory MP. But the mask has well and truly slipped, the cat is out of the bag etc So no fear of a Libertarian alliance now.
Before you protest it was turned down. It was AFTER it was exposed, and after Ming had gone away to hava think. By contrast he turned Cameron's low level LM approach down in a trice. Never has vote Lib Dem, get Labour rung more true.
But you seem sensible why not come and join the One nation wing of the Tory party, Alan Duncan,Francis Maude and even DC seem far more your kindred spirits than GB's mate
Lights Blue touch paper and retreats to safe distance...........
- 9:13 pm
Lepidus - c'mon now. The offer came out of the blue and clearly took the Lib Dems by surprise. Sometimes you need to speak with your top level support and seek guidance, even when you have a strong opinion yourself.
Having always said that they will not talk about coalitions I guess it really hasn't been discussed in any depth. Sometimes you need to float an idea with colleagues to bat it out. Certainly if I was in Ming's position I would have gone back to speak to my advisors about it. The difference is I probably would have been pro-active about saying no once I consulted senior colleagues and I would have expressly told my party about the offer before it broke in the press.
In any case, as you point out in your quote there was some dismay amongst young and high flying Lib Dems about the notion of an alliance with Labour. Wouldn't that suggest that you needn't be concerned about the Lib Dems allying with Labour - if Ming was ever to try it he'd be booted out as leader and one of those "young high fliers" would take over.

Its a new year, thankfully we no longer have to write 2016 on our papers and remember how awful the year is going. It seems that 2016, for everyone including myself, was not the best. All I see is everyone hoping that 2017 will be a better year, and I with them. This year for me has been full of ups and downs, and then a lot of downs all of a sudden. Things seems to be going at a slight incline as of late and maybe thats an indicator that the new year is rolling in some good vibes.
Today is day one of the year, its the first of 365 days, thats plenty of days for us to either mess up or decide to have a good day. Each of us has a story, and how that story goes, is mostly up to us. For me, I have decided that I am going to do my best to come out with a positive and hopeful outlook on each day. I will not let my anxiety get the best of me, and I will be happier. What do you want your year to look like? What steps do you have to take for it to start going in that direction.
Good things don't always happen, but we can work hard to make the things we desire, happen. Some of our stories will end, and some will have new ones start within them and its up to us to decide how we will look at the world and our situations. For all you moms out there, I hope you have more days when the house is clean and the kids are good. If you're in high school, I hope that each day you start over with an optimistic mindset. If life wasn't kind to you in 2016, I pray things start looking up! We all deserve some goodness in our lives.
What will day one look like for you?
Much love,

1810s: Each parish in England provides a workhouse to accommodate and employ the destitute. Conditions in the workhouses vary. Some are relatively acceptable, but others are grim. In 1810, George Crabbe writes of one workhouse: "It is a prison, with a milder name, / Which few inhabit without dread or shame."
1860s: Since the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, hundreds of new workhouses have been built. They are supervised by a local Board of Guardians. Conditions in the workhouses are intentionally made harsh and degrading, to deter all but the most desperate. They are inhabited mainly by the old, the infirm, the sick, the orphaned, and unmarried mothers. The largest of them house over a thousand people.
Today: Workhouses no longer exist. They were abolished in 1930. People who in addition to being poor are sick, old, or mentally ill are cared for in hospitals and by...
