Ever heard the saying that goes "if you want to lose weight you should get more sleep"? Surprising, it is literally true. It is believed that sleeping is the most trouble-free and effortless way of losing weight. As a matter of fact, according to the American Journal of Health Promotion says people who maintain their sleep routine ever day are less likely to gain body fats than those who have unbalanced sleep hours.
Recently, a research was done in Brigham Young led by Bruce Bailey the professor of exercise science, wherein 300 female college students, ages between 19 to 26 years old were given movement trackers to observe all their action and activities from waking to sleeping time. Their behavior was monitored before and after the one-week testing period. This is what they have found:
- Girls who sleep less than six hours and sleep more than 8 hours was associated with higher body fat.
- Meanwhile, girls who have proper and right sleep hours were associated with lower body fat. Including those who sleep consistently at the same time every day are associated with lower body fat.
Sounds too good to be true for me! Here are more reasons how sleep may cause weight loss:
- Sleeping helps you eat less
When you are sleeping, it will affect the hunger-regulating hormone leptin in which will help to tell your body it is full and therefore reducing your appetite. Meanwhile, not getting enough sleep will increase the levels of leptin thus results in binge eating and cause gain weight. On the second note, women who have sleep deprivation gain an average of 300 calories than those who get to have enough sleep.
- Sleeping helps you flatten your belly
The primary cause of belly fat is stress and anxiety. This clearly speaks that sleeping is a calming and relaxing activity that will free you from both stress and anxiety.
- Sleeping helps you suppress hunger
Most people who are on a diet tend to sleep or take a power nap often whenever they have the urge to eat junk food. They claimed that sleeping helps overcome their unnecessary cravings and at the same time they get the chance to rest.
- Sleeping provides energy
One of the reasons why our brain craves for foods is because we need energy. Sleeping is a good substitute to food but gives you energy just the same. I would recommend you to exercise few minutes before going to bed, and you will definitely have a wonderful sleep like you have never had before.
In conclusion, having enough good night sleep is essential to your brain and body. Not only it is beneficial to your health but also affects your body weight in a positive way. Sleep is associated with obesity, but the proper hours of sleep and a healthy diet will not lead you to weight gain or obesity. This could be the key to your weight gain problem. Create a sleep routine every day so that your body will adapt the changes and you will be able to sleep at the same hours regularly. Try exercising this method and see how it can change your life now!

They have an idea of 'beauty'. They, the society. What is beauty anyway? Who is beautiful anyway? Is it the sparkling skin or the 'perfectly toned' body? What is perfect anyway? They all are born as tiny babies, they all die and turn to ashes. The idea of 'beauty' is nothing but currency of the superficial. To all those who get picked on for their appearance in anyway, remember this, their idea of perfection is an illusion. What is deep down in your heart is way more important than what's on the surface. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. People who care more about how you look on the outside instead of respecting you for who you are are nothing but a sad lot indeed who would turn into dust in their wanderlust of perfection.
No, I don't support obesity but I support non-conformity.

An avid reader of Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror, with various forays into other genres.
Without taking the knee-jerk politically correct reaction to sexism and racism of the time the book was written, the book itself starts out rather well and then takes a 90 degree turn to nonsensical. At first the story seems to go rather well as it follows the protagonist in his journey from being an Outbacker in Australia to the more rigidly structured life in England, and even tries it's hand at explaining the legends of the Lambton Worm... But then the story changes so badly I gave up when… (more)

The company provides respectable business hours. My coworkers are generally pleasant to be around, as well as the other couple of employees from other terminals/plants that I've met. If you can manage to get benefits, the holiday schedule is fair. If you somehow make it to a managerial role, you're pretty set, assuming you're not looking for a salary comparable to a similarly sized corporation.Cons
Promotions, lateral movements, and opportunities in general are basically non-existent. Management will mention promotions/moves on a fairly regular basis, but none have ever materialized. Raises are minuscule, if received at all. After well over 5 years of work I've amassed 2 very quaint raises, despite receiving very high marks on my employee evaluations. Maybe in 5 more years I'll surpass the 30k a year mark. Hard work does not equal success within this company.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Do more hiring from within the company. There are plenty of people within the organization that have college degrees as well as experience to avoid bringing in 'outsiders'. Also, keep a better eye out on terminal managers, there are several managers 'gaming' the system. If it were my name on the company sign, I wouldn't tolerate a lot of the behavior and traits that I've witnessed working for this company.No opinion of CEO

Most members in the group are practicing the first 2 sections.( Refuge and Vajrasattva). The day is broken up into 4 sessions. 10 AM -Noon, 1-3 PM , 4-6PM & 7-9PM.

SEC tournament: LSU sends South Carolina packing
Published: Friday, May 22, 2009 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 23, 2009 at 1:26 a.m.
HOOVER, Ala. Louis Coleman pitched eight strong innings and Matty Ott worked out of a bases loaded ninth-inning jam to lead LSU to a 4-1 victory to send South Carolina home on Friday night in the Southeastern Conference tournament.
The top-seeded Tigers (43-16), who won last years tournament, have to beat Georgia twice today to make it to the championship game.
Coleman (11-2), the SEC pitcher of the year, had six strikeouts and didnt walk anybody but gave up singles to Whit Merrifield and DeAngelo Mack to open the ninth. Reliever Chad Jones then walked Jackie Bradley to load the bases for cleanup batter Nick Ebert.
Ott came in and struck out Ebert, got Jeffery Jones to line out to second base and fanned Andrew Crisp to leave the potential tying run on first. It was his 14th save.
South Carolinas Nolan Belcher (4-4) took the loss, allowing two runs on five hits in six solid innings.
Brady Thomas hit his first home run of the season, and Mack and Merrifield each added two hits for the Gamecocks (38-21).
Arkansas 10, Florida 7
In Hoover, Ala., freshman Zack Cox had a two-run homer and pitched two perfect innings to lift Arkansas to a victory against Florida in an elimination game of the Southeastern Conference tournament.
The Razorbacks (34-21) won all five meetings with the Gators (39-20), including two in the SEC tournament. That streak didnt comfort Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn.
You get to feel like its going to turn on you a little bit, Van Horn said. In the back of your mind youre thinking you beat them four times this year, the percentages are with them.
The Razorbacks, who were swept by Mississippi in the final regular-season series, must beat Vanderbilt twice today to advance to the championship game.
Florida scored four unearned runs in the seventh to wipe out most of an 8-3 deficit. The Razorbacks added two more runs in the bottom half on Coxs RBI single and Tim Carvers second run-scoring sacrifice.
Cox pitched the final two innings to earn his first save after reliever Sam Murphy (3-1) allowed only the four unearned runs in 3 1/3 innings. The Razorbacks started seven freshmen due partly to injuries, including Cox, Carver and starting pitcher Drew Smyly.
Coxs home run in the fourth banged off the scoreboard in right field.
Jonathan Pigott hit a two-run homer in the seventh for the Gators and finished with three in the tournament after managing just two home runs in the regular season. Brandon McArthur had three hits and two RBIs.
The Gators had six pitchers combine to give up five walks and nine hits.

The arm continues to glow and twitch, creating a diversion and enabling the squid to escape. But this squid isn't the only creature with a bizarre way of defending itself. Here are several other ways animals try to save their own lives,... READ ON
There are some topics you probably never thought you'd be interested in, including the nocturnal habits of hummingbirds. But there exists a YouTube video that is so fascinating (read: adorable), it begs exploration of this topic. In the video, a green female hummingbird slumbers, and with every one of its tiny breaths, the bird lets out a high-pitched sigh, making it appear as though it is ... snoring.
So, what exactly is going on here? Do hummingbirds actually snore?

When we think of the world of science, we often imagine white lab coats and sterile instruments, where everything is perfectly measured, monitored and executed. After all, scientists are supposed to be the smartest of us all. It's easy to assume they aren't plagued by stupidity and clumsiness like the rest of us. But even scientists make mistakes. Unfortunately for them, their screw-ups tend to have more serious ramifications than ours.

When we think of human evolution, our minds wander back to the thousands of years it took natural selection to produce the modern-day man. But are we still changing as a species, even today? New research suggests that, despite modern technology and industrialization, humans continue to evolve.

Hint Warehouse level
When you unlock the warehouse level, you will need to get a certain number of studs. This isnt like the 'ancient city' level where there are only certain items to get that amount, and no more. First, go get the tank (left of the room)and shoot all the brown boxes. Then go to the far right, and you will notice an archery target. Shoot at it continuously until it is out of money, this will give you way over half the amount needed. Once this has been done, pull a lever to lower a rope. Jump on one with a girl and climb to the top, the ropes are covered in purple coins (10,000 studs each) Once you have done a rope, swing to the next one, and so on until you have got the amount of studs needed. This will earn you one percent in the game total completation.

Here is a beautiful prose poem by James Fenton on Mexico that celebrates attention to place, while also offering a primer on how to ignite creativity – always a solitary exercise. A friend reminds me of the story of Fenton riding on the top of a North Vietnamese army tank that breached the gates of the Presidential Palace during the fall of Saigon in 1975. Has any great poet had such a send-off story to mark the eve of their career? His experience in Vietnam and Cambodia from summer 1973 form sections of All the Wrong Places (1988), a collection of essays.

Thomas McGuane has never received anything less than the highest praise as a novelist, short story writer and essayist. I've read him since his first novel, picked up at a remainder bin. For me, his essays shine brightest. With an essay, you can't leave the writer's side. In a novel or story, you trail along with the characters with an ear cocked for the pyrotechnics of the writer's voice. The essays spotlight McGuane's unique voice, his sensibility, in a way fiction cannot allow. A Sporting Chance, his first collection, and his other nonfiction books The Longest Silence: A Life in Fishing and Some Horses are examples of the most personal art. My hand reaches out for them often.
An essay in Some Horses, titled On The Road Again, takes on one of the most anti-intuitive subjects imaginable for a first-class writer who has been called an heir to Hemingway. The topic? A long drive with his wife in a pickup truck, pulling a just-bought 38-foot horse trailer with special built-in, mini-living quarters, around a great circle of the West. In this quintessential American home-on-wheels, christened a "Horseabago," he writes, "We simply pictured ourselves at one end, and Delta, Sassy, Zip and Lena, in the other, and wheels underneath." After a few pages, you're assured of his mastery to take on this tale, and carry it to sublime heights. His sensibility, or whatever it is that frees words to rise above themselves into something approximating quotidian reality, is on full display.
A Girl In Winter is British poet Philip Larkin's second novel. The book is the story of a 16-year-old European girl, her country is never named, who is prematurely mature and intellectual. She accepts an invitation to visit a young English boy and his family. She falls in love with the boy, but they lose touch. Six years later, she returns to Britain as a war refugee.
It's a remarkable psychological portrait, in the vein of Larkin's poetry, which is nihilistic, in almost stoic celebration of the ordinary, unexceptional, ultimately disappointing bits that give life its bitter taste.
What's most interesting to me is Larkin's very deep minutia describing the meeting of Katherine and Robin, in which he uses the sort of details that belie someone – meaning Larkin – who runs away from life, from the desire to understand others' in hope to better understand themselves. Larkin's austere poetry, even in its most gorgeous sensibility, keeps life at bay, at a safe distance that cannot disappoint, while this novel shows Katherine as a person who is probing and open to understanding, or trying to understand, the complexities of other souls. That she and Robin are ultimately unable to capture any of the romantic shavings that surround all lives, even if ungrasped, is all the more tragic. Larkin's poems couldn't display such depth of tragedy because he wrapped them in a polished shell of art, singular gems that, no matter their content, bespoke excellence even in the face of tragedy. The novel shows whereof the poems arose.
Bangkok Days by Lawrence Osborne is the best novel about Bangkok ever written. But, for clarification, it's written and marketed as a nonfiction account of the author's life in the city. The book reeks of novelization with the first-person author surrounded by a cast of fiction-like foils (and at least one real person) who capture the spirit and ambiance of the most sensuous, textured, layered city in the world.
Osborn, the author of the recent Ballad of a Small Player, which is set in the casinos of Macau, excels at romantic, slightly desperate characters and settings full of people who recognize each other for their individual élan in the face of life's fragility. They are people who are unwilling to give up the fight for life and feeling. That such people in unusual numbers are drawn to Bangkok is no accident. Osborn's tale of living in Bangkok displays a colorful subset of people of the city who refuse to forsake the quixotic in return for sleek, cosmetic urban wallpaper. The book serves equally well as a novel or one man's guide to Bangkok, suggesting how to absorb and live within its refreshing disparities.
The Buddhist Conquest of China: The Spread and Early Adaptation of Buddhism in Early Medieval China by E. Zurcher.
This work of high scholarship looks at the social and cultural factors that led to the eventual adoption of Buddhist principles and practice in Chinese culture. It brilliantly captures the chaotic nature of how Buddhist principles were scattered piecemeal over two centuries by Buddhist monks and lay parties that included foreigners, the Chinese gentry, the court, and the intelligentsia. The beauty is the thousands of details it shares about monks and others from late 300AD through the fourth century. It was a perilous time of ferment, and it would be 200 years, in the Tang Dynasty, before Buddhism took on a more recognisable, coherent form eventually leading to the distinct Chinese Buddhist doctrine that we know today. It underscores the cultural fragmentation and difficulties a foreign doctrine of religion has in finding a place in a totally separate and distinct culture, with a different language and already established theories of religion, cosmology and metaphysics. Not surprisingly, the difficulty of transplanting a "foreign" religion, even one with obvious parallels in Chinese religious writings, is manifest throughout this work. It helps put in context the subsequent official elimination of Buddhist temples and practice in revolutionary China, when viewed from the rocky path that Buddhism walked in medieval times.

Clive James on 'Philip Larkin: Life, Art and Love'Posted: November 24, 2014 Filed under: articles, books, people, photography, poetry | Tags: larkin biography, Larkin love life, larkin self-portrait, philip larkin poetry, Whitsun Weddings Leave a comment
Philip Larkin comes under the scalpel again, but this time the hand is friendly. The book, Philip Larkin – Life, Art and Love, takes a look what's become a focal point of the great poet's life and work: his seemingly banal Life as a librarian (I never shared that view – library work is richly rewarding for the literary inclined), his Art, which suffered tragic abuse when several critics and higher journalists blurred the picture by noting some seemingly racist and sexist language in his collected letters followed by a respected biography noting the same thing. And along with all that, his secretive Love life was exposed, which came as a shock and added spice to the staid picture he had painted of himself as a bored, suburban bachelor in a staid, middle class town.
Life, Art and Love are given a therapeutic scrubbing in this book, returning him to the shelf of normal, healthy souls who chose to live their life in semi-seclusion and not in the public eye. After all, Larkin's true charm came from presenting himself as being un-Byron and un-Shelley, and, yet, he is, for our time, as great as the greatest British poets.
Larkin's steadfast champion over the years, Clive James, gives the book high marks for setting the record straight and throwing water on whatever fainting spells caused the sniping in the first place.

Quality of Service5.0
We were having a very hard time finding an officiant that would preform a non denominational ceremony. Rev. Spencer was amazing! Super friendly and open to customize our ceremony to what we wanted. The service was beautiful! We will definitely recommend her to friends and family.
THis is a great way to have an alternative wedding. We had planned a huge affair then, we found out my husband was to be deployed before our date so, we decided we wanted a small but elegant ceremony and we needed to have it quick. I found Adore Ministry on the web and it turned out to be great. She took care of the flowers, the toast, the ceremony. All I had to do was show up. She spent a lot of time with me previous to the wedding to see what my wishes were. She suggested a sand ceremony since we were becoming a blended family and I think it was the best part.
I loved our minister!!!!! She wrote our vows special for us. We did a sand ceremony, which I thought was really cool. She also came up with the idea of honoring my mother and father with a single rose in the first 2 chairs to smbolize them being with us even though they are deceased. It was a wonderful ceremony. One that I will never forget and Deb Spencer made that possible.

Former Connecticut Lt. Gov. Joseph Fauliso Dies At 98
HARTFORD, Conn. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Former Connecticut Lt. Gov. Joseph Fauliso has died. He was 98.
Current and former state officials on Thursday mourned the passing of Fauliso, who also served as a Hartford alderman, municipal court judge and state senator. He died on Wednesday.
Fauliso was president of the state Senate when his friend, then-Gov. Ella Grasso, resigned on Dec. 31, 1980 due to illness. After then-Lt. Gov. William A. O'Neill became governor, Fauliso was automatically elevated to lieutenant governor, a job he held until 1991.
Former U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman served as Senate majority leader with Fauliso. He recalled his "inspiring oratory," adding how it was "exceeded only by his deep and abiding commitment" to Connecticut.
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal called Fauliso "a mentor, a model and a mensch," the latter a Yiddish term for someone with integrity.

Durham, NC (Sports Network) - Tajh Boyd threw five touchdown passes for a second straight game, lifting the 10th-ranked Clemson Tigers over the Duke Blue Devils, 56-20.
Boyd completed 16-of-23 passes for 344 yards and three interceptions for the Tigers (8-1, 5-1 ACC), who have won five in a row since a loss to Florida State on Sept. 22. He also carried the ball nine times for 72 yards and a score.
DeAndre Hopkins caught four passes for 128 yards and three touchdowns for Clemson, which racked up 718 yards of total offense. Sammy Watkins hauled in six passes for 97 yards and a score.
The win moved Clemson into a tie with the Seminoles atop the ACC's Atlantic Division.
"I'm proud of our team. These guys just continue to respond and get better," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. "I'm proud of them for finishing tonight. This is kind of the end of our road season and it's only the second time in 15 years we've had four road wins. I'm real proud of our guys for that."
Sean Renfree connected on 23-of-39 passes for 240 yards and a touchdown for the Blue Devils (6-4, 3-3), who have dropped two straight. Jamison Crowder caught seven passes for 167 yards and a score.
"We wanted to bounce back after the Florida State game and come out and just compete," Crowder said. "As a result, though, we didn't compete as well as we should have. Now we just want to bounce back and look forward to two weeks from now to Georgia Tech."
All three of Hopkins' TD catches came in the first quarter. On the first possession of the game, Hopkins hauled in a 5-yard touchdown pass from Boyd.
After Ross Martin made a 46-yard field goal for Duke, Hopkins caught a 58-yard TD pass.
Crowder responded with a 77-yard TD catch to make it 14-10. But Hopkins' 45- yard touchdown catch gave Clemson a 21-10 lead with 4:49 left.
The Tigers started to pull away after Watkins' 30-yard TD catch near the end of the first quarter.
David Reeves of Duke caught a 17-yard TD pass from Brandon Connette early in the second stanza, cutting the gap to 28-17.
But Boyd responded with a touchdown pass and a rushing score to make it 42-17 at the break.
D.J. Howard's 1-yard TD run made it 49-17 midway through the third period. Martin made a 47-yard field goal with 1:56 left to make it a 29-point contest.
Charone Peake hauled in a 12-yard TD pass from Cole Stoudt in the fourth quarter.
Clemson holds a 36-16-1 series advantage all-time against Duke ... Boyd tied a
school record with five touchdown passes against Wake Forest on Oct. 25 ...
This was just the second game in Clemson history the Tigers had at least 300
yards rushing and 300 yards passing in the same game.

If, like me, you have had endless problems with the O2 X1, help is at hand. I rang O2 to complain that the replacement phone they had supplied me with has started to present the same problems as my original phone ie switching itself off, freezing etc. They quickly said that they would send me a pack to return it to them, and provide me with an X2! So- don't put up with the X1- lets hope the X2 hasn't got the same problems!

What do you for entertainment
I was curious about what the rest of you do when you are alone at home. I do movies, read, work jigsaw puzzles and play with this machine. I just finished watching Sense and Sensibility with Kate Winslet and Alan Rickman. It is a very good movie, I have watched it several times. I love the horses with their heads held high as if they are proud of themselves. Of course the manners and the use of the English language. Very nice and I was in tears at the end. I used to not be affected that way. I have a lot of series and recently bought the Harry Potter series. I liked the first 3 seasons, but it got a little dark after that. I was told it was because of a new director. I just acquired Percy Jackson and the Olmpians, The Lightening Thief and the second one, Seas Monsters. I love the cast in it and especially the first half hour when Percy found out he was the son of a god of the sea called Posidian and a normal woman. Very good.
I also have a lot of puzzles and a puzzle board which sits on a table you can tilt. Really saves on your back.
Good morning, Emma. I have plenty to do! I am raising my grandson, who's 12, and my stepson lives with me - he's 23. I do whatever has to be done, every day, then work in my huge yard, play on the computer or read.
I have two small dogs and a cat who require my attention, plus a big house that needs attention. There aren't many empty minutes in my house! At age 63, I rest a lot!!!

How many plants should I buy???
Since I am new at cut flower farming.....I was wondering how many perennial plants like Delphinium I should be growing to have enough cuts for all summer/fall. I have about a half acre total that I am going to plant this spring with all my annual and perennial cut flowers. Could any of you give me a idea of how many Delphinium plants would be good to plant for that amount of land? I would appreciate any advice!
Hi, Gardengirl. I hope you will get answers from wiser people than I, but my first thought is that I'm not seeing how we can help you get enough cuts for all summer/fall. How about starting with how many you think you can sell and working backward from there?
Are you going to buy plugs? If it were me, I'd probably just buy a tray of 128 and see how those did.
I would like to buy some Delphinium plugs, but I wanted to ask some flower farmers who have more knowledge than I do how many plants I should start with....since I am new at this. Thanks for your input!
Perennial plants are an investment for the future. One doesn't reap the full benefits for a couple years. Are you selling them at Market or wholesale ?
I will mostly be selling to florists. I worked as a florist years ago....so I already have a ''in'' with a few of the local florists I knew when I worked. So far I have four different businesses that want to buy my flowers on a regular basis...so now I need to figure out how many plants I'm going to need to try and keep a good supply for them all summer!
Have you thought about buying seeds and starting your own plants? If you have a greenhouse you're all set. Plugs are great for hard to start plants but tend to cost a lot more and you'll still need a greenhouse to grow them on. Delphiniums are very easy to start & grow from seed, especially varities like Pacific Giants which the seeds are readily available for low costs.
How many plants to buy is a difficult question. If you have great soil, well grown plants and if the garden gods are with you, you can be productive with less plants. If not you'll have to purchase/grow a lot of plugs.
Too many factors involved for a specific number of plants.
If you have room, start your own plants, and plenty of garden space then go crazy.
A great source of info is the Cut Flowers Association web site.

Tippy Canoe and the Paddlemen
"I started on guitar, and then was introduced to the ukulele, and then it was all over."
-- Tippy Canoe
Michele Kappel aka Tippy Canoe was a drummer in the rock band The Kirby Grips when she picked up the ukulele and fell in love. She then started writing her own songs for the instrument combining jazz, pop, old time, and girl group music mixed with post-punk influences such as Squeeze and Blondie.
After a few years of performing on her own, Kappel formed her own back up band, The Paddlemen with Rick Quisol on drums, Mikie Lee Prasad on guitar and Chris "T.G." Green on bass. Spark catches one of their gigs at Alameda's Speisekammer.
