ANZLIC unique identifier: ANZCW0703003189
Title: Geology of the Rockhampton
Custodian: Geoscience Australia
Jurisdiction: Australia
These data are a digital representation of information depicted on the printed map of the Rockhampton 1:250 000 Geological Series produced by AGSO and the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ).
Data present include geological polygons (litho-stratigraphic units), linear structural features (faults, dykes, folds, trends, lineaments etc), and point features (mines, structural points etc). Polygons have a range of attributes extracted from each individual map including unit name, age and lithological description, while lines and points are feature coded according to the AGSO publication 'Symbols Used On Geological Maps' (BMR 1989). A standard look-up table of AGSO geological codes and associated descriptions is available (see ADDITIONAL METADATA).
The data has gradually evolved from elementary CAD quality data into its present topologically structured GIS format, and hence has many imperfections and inconsistencies. Data has undergone rigorous validation and testing that includes over 80 different tests. See ADDITIONAL METADATA for more information on the data standards used.

Data quality
Source: The geological maps are a depiction of information acquired from interpretation, field observation, and subsequent investigation. Some detail may have been generalised, re-positioned, or omitted from the primary data for cartographic purposes. Maps were compiled from unrectified photo overlays onto topographic bases supplied by the Commonwealth mapping authorities. Drainage and other topographic features were used for spatial control of the geological data.
Data capture: Data were captured from stable-base repromat used in the production of the hardcopy multi-colour geological maps. Initial acquisition was by high precision scanning. Resultant raster files were warped to fit digital graticules. Affine-1 warp was used, with the four corners of each tile forming tie points. Warped raster files were vectorised and cleaned, followed by interactive editing and additional capture of point data (via data heads-up digitising). Vector data were plotted and visually checked prior to conversion to GIS format. Translation from MicroStation to ArcInfo format was facilitated using in-house scripts and IGDSARC utility. Attribute fields were populated using information from the printed maps. Coverages were built for topology, checked and edited.
Upgrade: Data are unprojected from UTM projection into geodetic coordinate system. In addition, a datum-shift was performed from AGD66 to GDA94. Coverages were edge-matched with the surrounding tiles, where data was available. While, in general, features at the coverage boundaries matched, sometimes it was necessary to carry out limited interpretative work. Attributes were appended and existing modified as per specifications in the AGSO GIS Data Dictionary. Stratigraphic unit names were validated against records in AGSO's Stratigraphic Index database. Where superseded, they were replaced with the current names. Additional attributes, from the database, were added to all geological units with a known stratigraphic unit name.
Positional accuracy:
An accurate assessment of horizontal accuracy is not possible because the history of the original source information and subsequent revisions are not fully known. However a range of errors and/or anomalies were observed during construction of the dataset. These are possibly due to: (i) inaccurate topographic bases; (ii) spheroid or datum differences; and (iii) map production processes.
The error associated with delineation of geographic features and map production process is estimated at 0.5 mm at the respective map scale. Geological interpretation from the aerial photography was carried out at 1:85 000 scale, while data were digitised from the standard 1:250 000 geological map. Thus, the total estimated positional error due to map production process is about +/-170 m. However, positional accuracy for some of the edge-matched features at the tile boundary is estimated to be up to +/-300 m. This estimate should be interpreted in conjunction with the positional accuracy of the topographic base used in the interpretation of source data.
Attribute accuracy:
Attributes are mostly a representation of information on the source maps and should be viewed in that context - some of the information and/or interpretation is old and may be incorrect and/or outdated. Attributes are tile specific - for example the same geological unit on separate tiles may have different lithological descriptions, ages and possibly even names. This is a reflection of the knowledge and/or information available at the time of production of the source map.
Geological units and linear structures such as faults and folds were largely interpreted from black and white aerial photographs at 1:85 000 scale. The interpretation was carried out in conjunction with numerous field observations and/or measurements, and sample collection and analysis. The reliability and field site location diagrams on the printed geological source maps provide some (basic) indication of the level of work undertaken. Most of the source maps have accompanying Explanatory Notes, which provide much more detail about the geology and interpretative work.
Point data attributes have been extracted from the map and thus may include cartographic generalisation and error (maps were however subject to considerable checking and editing during their production, and can be considered a good representation of the primary data).
Logical Consistency:
Data have been checked visually on plots and for topological consistency using in-house routines and ArcInfo GIS software. In addition, the upgrade of the data required passing on a number of rigorous validation tests. As much as possible, every effort has been made to ensure that the accuracy and standards of the source maps have been maintained.
Coverage: Because the geological maps are the only source for the data, not all attributes are complete for all elements or tiles. In some cases, for example the age, name and genealogy of stratigraphic units, information may be inconsistent between tiles.
Classification: Completeness and consistency of classification needs to be considered in the context of the time span of the source geological map and the highly interpretative nature of the discipline. Broadly similar classification and measurement techniques have been applied to geological map compilation for many years, however resultant data does reflect individual geologists ideas and preferences. The classification of boundaries, faults and similar features (ranging from accurate, approximate, concealed, inferred) for example is not particularly consistent and therefore needs to be treated with caution.
Verification: There is no consistent record of the extent of field observation as opposed to airphoto interpretation. However the frequency of measured sites on maps, such as measurements of mesoscopic structures, is a reasonable indicator of field activity and/or verification. More information can be found in Explanatory Notes, which were produced in conjunction with the geological map.

Nickelodeon knows what it's doing with these week of premieres. Apparently, a second week of premieres, with five new episodes, is scheduled for later on in the month as well. I prefer watching the episodes as soon as possible, so the fan in me doesn't mind, but it just doesn't seem like good business sense. Wouldn't they be better served stretching the episodes out and airing them alongside new episodes of Korra? Nickelodeon doesn't seem to believe re-runs hurt a block's ratings, but it seems inevitable that they do.

I feel the same about the episode schedule. Additionally it's not like I'm made of time. Some days it's hard to be around for the new episode and then I have to wait for a rerun. I'd much prefer one episode a week, but Nick will do what they will.
Well I enjoyed Love Stings a lot. There were a few good laughs, seeing Po with his dad was pretty touching, and James Hong was great as always. I felt Po was largely in accordance with his film self here. What I don't like is the running gag of Tigress not understanding humor. It undoes her character development from the movies. Maybe it's just my fan gripe. Overall a nice episode though.
I thought the premise of Hall of Lame was cool and there were a few really funny laughs. I loved the Ox guy (who had an entirely Anglican sounding name like Henry ) with the sword. Episode kind of dragged in the middle but the choreography, great as always, kept me hanging on. And I was curious about what was special about this stuffed animal. S'aright episode.
Father Crime was really good. Man everything was tight I thought. Pacing, characters, choreography, writing. I love Fung and the crocs. I don't love Tong Fo (AKA Ancient Chinese Chris Walken). Good emotional scenes for the show finally. Shifu with Po, Po with Tigress. And how about that background for Shifu! "Why was he such a bad father to Tai Lung." Oh, because he never had a suitable father figure to learn from (I imagine). "Why did Shifu opt to raise Tai Lung?" he was left on the exact same steps of the Jade palace as a kid and must have felt for him. However the ages are confusing me. Shifu's father must be ancient because Shifu is at least 60.
This episode restored my hope for the show. Season finale tomorrow and Season Two starts Friday, woo.
Sorry about the double post. I was told by another mod it's not so bad given I leave time between posts.

Kung Fu Day Care is certainly heartwarming around its second half, especially seeing little Tigress.
I liked today's episode, it show a lighter side to Tigress, instead of her always look grouchy and hitting Po for some reason.
I enjoyed the episodes this week, particularly the season two premiere, but I'm extremely disappointed by how underused Viper has been in the show. I'm not sure if that is a by-product of having Lucy Liu voice the character, or if there are various production issues that I'm not aware of, but it's getting to be ridiculous. The upcoming week of premieres that is scheduled - if it stays scheduled - doesn't seem to involve Viper at all. Crane gets another episode, which is good, but nothing for Viper.

Monkey in the Middle was nice. I like episodes that aren't entirely based around Po. Did anyone see who it was next to the peach tree at the very end of the episode. I thought it was Monkey's brother, but couldn't make it out. I love learning more about the Furious Five so this was a nice episode for me.
Kung Fu Daycare was pretty sweet in the second half. The beginning was rough because I hate the 'Tigress doesn't know how to feel' angle. She can feel it's just really hard for her to show emotion (thanks Shifu). I love the 'everyone mistakes tigress for a man joke' though. And seeing cub Tigress is always adorable, they even had the same orphanage from Secrets of The Furious Five. I love the Croc Bandits. Hilariously inept.
Can't wait for that Crane episode. I noticed Viper not getting any screen time too Huntsman. I figured it was a production issue, but who knows.
Not like Viper was onscreen much in the movie either .
The reason she's not in the show much is because it's Lucy Liu playing her. So it's probably harder to work around her acting schedule.

That would explain why Viper isn't getting much screen time. Do we know for a fact the reason is because working around Liu is so difficult and not something else?
Looks like we'll see Peng again, but strangely in an episode called "Tigress Tale", according to TVGuide.com. Maybe they got the titles mixed up?
And yes, Viper has been pretty neglected so far... Sometimes I seriously doubt that's Lucy Liu voicing her all the time.
Three things caught my attention in Kung-Fu Day Care:
- When Mantis said that Po had the mind of a child, Po never reacted to it. He just said "yup". I'm wondering if a scene with Po retaliating to Mantis was cut or if they just didn't decide to go that route. The next scene did seem to pop up suddenly.
- Tigress' flashback to Master Shifu seems to be the opposite of what the first movie told. I thought Shifu was reluctant to get close to another young student (even if they showed potential).
- Tigress seemed to be more motivated when she found out the kid was a prince. Did anyone else spot that?
Yeah, it's pretty obvious how Tigress' memory of a nice, encouraging Shifu contrasts with her flashback of him being stern and distant from the film.
Either it was a rare thing for him to be in a good mood, or he became more stern and harsh as time went on. In the episode young Tigress messed up, but in the film she did something right, so maybe Shifu became distant as she became more skilled and reminded him more of Tai Lung. That, or the LoA writers didn't want to confuse people who hadn't seen the film and/or didn't want to present Shifu in a bad light. Regardless, it's certainly a plothole for those who have seen the film.
What's more, these recent episodes about Tigress seeing Shifu as her father figure makes that comment about her having a crush on him when she was a teen even more awkward... O__o
So I guess those episodes that were supposed to be today and this week aren't anymore. At least today's episode was replaced with Spongebob and I don't see any new ep for tomorrow.
I can't think of a way around the kind Shifu flashback. My initial thought was 'What if Shifu raised Tigress and Tai Lung for a brief overlapping time.' We have no reason to believe Shifu was as callous as he was in Tigress' movie flashback before Tai Lung. When Shifu picks Tigress up from the orphanage in SotFF he seems stern, but not cold. Maybe he brought her back after he already began with Tai Lung allowing for Tigress to have those happy memories and know that he used to smile.

Comments On Oct 23, 2007:This foot pump is ok. I wish they would have put some big rubber feet on it, so it would not sink down in the dirt as much, when you have to use it on the trail. Also, if you are storing it in your rack bag on your quad or wherever you have it, check it after a weekend trip, because the nuts will vibrate loose, and then it will not function properly. When you go to put your foot on the pedal, it will bind up and not pump. I modified mine with some loctite on the nuts, and I keep it in a rubbermade container with a lid, so it will not open up in my rack bag. Also, if you keep it in the box it comes in, and that box gets just a little wet, it will disintegrate in your rack bag. All in all this pump is ok, I just think that if they are going to market it for people who use it on the trail, which is where most of us would use it, they should make a few changes to the design.

The Georgia Straight published an article entitled "Vancouver and BC Sports Teams Make History in 2011″. The article provided pretty solid coverage of major men's sporting events, but left out the key achievements of Vancouver women athletes. It also failed to mention achivements at the 2011 North America Outgames, which Vancouver hosted this year, as well as the lowlights of 2011 for women in sport.
Here's my attempt to bring a bit more balance to the discussion, starting with the 2011 highlights. I'm sure I've missed some, so if you know of any more BC women athletes' achievements over the past year, please comment below.
- Women's ski jumping was finally approved for the 2014 Olympics, after the hard work of Canadian women ski jumpers who had hoped to compete in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
- The Winter X Games were good to Canadians, especially women. Whistler resident Sarah Burke took home gold in the women's superpipe, and Kelownatonian Kelsey Serwa won gold in Women's Skier X. Serwa also won her second consecutive World Cup ski cross gold medal just last week. Vancouver sports fans should also keep an eye out for Squamish resident and Olympic gold medallist Maelle Ricker, who's competing in the snowboard World Cup this week.
- Vancouver hosted thousands of GLBT athletes (as well as friends and allies) for the 2011 North America Outgames this past July. In addition to sporting events – which included conventional summer events as well as some with more local flavour, such as dragon boating – OutGames also put on a human rights conference and cultural events.
- The Vancouver Whitecaps kicked off their first season as a Major League (men's) soccer team with a sexist and objectifying ad campaign featuring a model in a body-painted Whitecaps jersey.
- The Amateur International Boxing Association announced they are considering regulation changes which would force women boxers to wear miniskirts in competition. This isn't BC-specific but may effect women athletes from BC in the future.
- The Lingerie Football League announced they were bringing a league to Vancouver in 2012. This wouldn't necessarily bother me except there's no real choice for women to choose to play fully-clothed in another league and still get the same amount of attention. Then, to top it off, the league makes money off objectifying the women but doesn't even pay them. Here's a description from Global News:
The play is full-contact and players are outfitted in shoulder and elbow pads, knee pads, and hockey-style helmets with visors, along with skimpy panties and garters.
Players are not paid, but their travel costs are covered by the organization.
But it's safe, right? Maybe not. After the Toronto Triumph Lingerie Football Club played its first game earlier this year, four players walked out, citing poor management, shoddy equipment, and safety concerns: "Sprained ankles, concussions and pulled hamstrings were among the injuries sustained by Triumph players in their first game against the Tampa Breeze in September, Dalla Giustina said, adding their team had no medical staff."
And in case you think there's a chance the LFL is interested in athletes who don't meet beauty ideals, let LFL representative Mitchell Mortaza dispel that notion:
Mortaza, who flew in from Los Angeles to get the Toronto Triumph started, said the women are assessed on their skill as well as their appearance.
"It's primarily athletics," he said. "And then they have to be marketable, they have to be in shape, they have to have an element of beauty. And more important than anything they have to be confident."
And so another year goes by and women athletes continue working hard, achieving within a society that puts tremendous pressure on them to conform to gender norms and prove their femininity by playing football in bras or posing in swimsuits. When conventional beauty and sex appeal become a pre-requisite of athletic fame, that's a problem.
Women athletes frequently get left out of the year-end sports highlight lists like the one the Georgia Straight did or the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year shortlist. Women athletes should be recognized for their wins just like men are, and so too should the issues they face be considered when evaluating how good a year it was for sport.

Grammy-winning singer, Oscar winner and Chicago native Jennifer Hudson is in town for a very good cause Wednesday, to give back to the community as students prepare for a new school year.
Hudson was at the Kroc Center of the Salvation Army to host Hatch Day, established with her sister, Julia, in memory of her 7-year-old nephew Julian King, who was murdered in 2008.
The public started lining up at 1250 W. 119th Street for the annual school supply event in the early morning hours, to make sure they get a chance to participate in the program. The line was full of students and their families, eager for a chance to meet their idol.
School supply distribution began at 10 a.m. Wednesday. Parents told FOX 32 News that they could not be more thankful to Hudson for taking the time to help out their kids, and giving their kids a great outlook for the coming school year by hosting this event.
Hudson and her sister Julia spoke live on Good Day Chicago with FOX entertainment reporter Bill Zwecker. She told him that she loves coming back to her hometown for this event every year, and there is, without a doubt, "no place like home."
Hudson also talked about the home where her mother and brother were murdered. She says she wants the house to be turned into a women's shelter-- hopefully by the end of the year.

The right to criticize government is also an obligation to know what you are talking about.
-Lent Upson, 1st Executive Director of CRC
This page has analyses of issues that will appear on Michigan's statewide ballot at the November 6, 2012 general election. The Citizens Research Council of Michigan does not endorse candidates for office or take positions on ballot issues. In analyzing these ballot issues, CRC hopes to provide more information so that voters can make better informed decisions in formulating their vote.
CRC's new paper, Inserting Legal Code into the Michigan Constitution, explores the seemingly increased trend of policy advocates targeting the constitution in their initiative efforts rather than attempting to initiate law. Read the Paper
CRC has created a summary of the six statewide ballot proposals to provide brief explanations of each question, identify the implications if each question passes or is rejected, and offer some major issues to consider. The content is based on the more in-depth analyses of each question. Reach the Paper
Election Day: November 6, 2012
Michigan Secretary of State's Information for Voters
Information about registering to vote, absentee voting, election officials, and state law.
The Ballot Proposal Process in Michigan: A Synopsis
There are four methods whereby a proposal can be placed on the statewide ballot in Michigan: (1) statutory initiative, (2) voter referendum, (3) legislative referendum, and (4) constitutional amendment.
STATUTORY INITIATIVE is defined by Section 9 of Article 2 of the Michigan Constitution as the power which the people reserve to themselves "to propose laws and to enact and reject laws." The power of initiative extends to any law the Legislature may enact and is invoked by filing petitions containing signatures of registered voters equal in number to at least eight percent of the total votes cast in the last election for governor. The Legislature is required to enact, without modification, or reject any proposed initiative within 40 session days. An initiative not enacted by the Legislature is placed on the statewide ballot at the next general election. A law that is initiated or adopted by the people is not subject to gubernatorial veto and one adopted by voters cannot subsequently be amended or repealed except by the voters or by a three-fourths vote of the Legislature.
VOTER REFERENDUM is defined by Section 9 of Article 2 of the Michigan Constitution as the power "to approve and reject laws enacted by the legislature." Referendum must be invoked, within 90 days of final adjournment of the legislative session during which the law in question was enacted, by filing petitions containing signatures of registered voters equal in number to at least five percent of the total votes cast for governor in the last general election. The effect of invoking a referendum is to suspend the law in question until voters approve or reject it at the next general election.

This event is planned for April 8-10, 2009, in San Francisco. Details on the conference are available.
Because of limited opportunities for travel, the LSB workgroup is planning "pre-summit" meetings starting Sunday, April 5, at about 10 am. That day will be a formal meeting time, with an agenda. Monday and Tuesday will be less structured, and will be more about working out details and working together than about formal discussion. (There may also be one-on-one ISV meetings on Tuesday.) There will be a LSB session at the ISV track on Thursday, and a full-day LSB session on Friday.

MANUFACTURER: Barska
Review This Item
Accuracy, durability and exceptional optical quality are hallmarks of the new BARSKA Benchmark 4-16x50 Riflescope, Mil-Dot Reticle, Matte Black (AC11202). The Benchmark's Mil-Dot Reticle is on the first focal plane which means that it tracks proportionally throughout the power ranges no matter what power you have the scope on. You can mil, hold over, hold off or do anything that requires an accurate measurement without worrying about the scope's power setting.
BARSKA's Accu-Lock system utilizes a coil spring positioned within the scope to securely lock the inner tube. This coil positioning system allows the scope to stay locked dead-on to the target shot after shot.
Available in zoom or fixed power each Benchmark model is waterproof, fogproof and shockproof and features fully multi-coated optics for sharp distortion-free views. This Benchmark riflescope includes a set of mounting rings, 5" protective sunshade and is backed by BARSKA's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Watch out for disappointing China GDP numbers over the weekend. China's Shenzen stock index was down 1.6 percent overnight on the headline that Finance Minister Lou Jiwei sees reaching this year's GDP price target of 7.5 percent "shouldn't be too big a problem." Until he added on that "we also don't think there is any big problem with [a growth rate of] 7% or 6.5."
Nice set up for Sunday night, when the Chinese government will release Q2 GDP figures. Now — three days before that data — the Minister of Finance suggests he is comfortable with growth of 6.5 percent, when the "official" target is 7.5 percent?
Coincidence? I doubt it. If this is not an effort to bring expectations down, I don't know what is. That has big implications for global growth.
1) UPS pre-announced second quarter earnings of $1.13, below estimates of $1.20. They cited a "slowing U.S. industrial economy"' and customer preference for "lower yielding shipping solutions," i.e. customers are looking for cheaper ways to ship things. Full year guidance was lowered to $4.65-$4.85, from $4.80-$5.06, and below analyst estimates of $4.98.
2) Banks are off to a great start for earnings, and home lending still strong. Wells Fargo reported great numbers. They are the largest mortgage originator in the country, with about 25 percent of all originations. Mortgage banking revenue was basically unchanged. Here is Chief Risk Office Mike Loughlin: "The consumer loss levels have improved rapidly due primarily to the positive momentum in the residential real estate market, with home prices improving faster and in more markets than expected."
For Wells, mortgage originations were UP slightly compared to the prior quarter.
JP Morgan posted excellent earnings, $1.60 vs. consensus of $1.44. There was a larger release of reserves because credit quality has improved, but there was also a lower tax rate that helped. Trading was strong: investment banking up 40 percent, fixed income, commodities and currency (FICC) up 17 percent, equity trading up 24 percent.
As for mortgages, overall originations were down, but only because refinancing are such a large part of the business. Applications to purchase homes were up.
There is only 1 month of rate rises....rising rates are a modest negative for housing, but as these rates I don't think it will derail the recovery.
On the broad economy, CEO Jamie Dimon had this to say: "Loan growth across the industry continued to be soft, reflecting a cautious stance by consumers, many small businesses and corporations. However, we continue to see broad-based signs that the U.S. economy is improving and we are hopeful that, as jobs are added and confidence builds, the U.S. economy will strengthen over time."
3) Great week for global markets, with a particular rebound in Emerging Markets:
Global indices this week:
Germany 5.4%
China 1.6%
Japan 1.4%
Spain 0.5%
Emerging markets rebound this week
Brazil 3.1%
India 2.4%
Philippines 1.1%
Peru 1.0%
Thailand 0.9%

A polished and well known reader/performer of her poetry in Australia, she first read at The Troubadour, Earls Court in 1972 - having been galvanised by the vibrant poetry reading scene in London where she lived between 1970 and 1972. Her audio recording shows how she sets up a theatre of words, easing the audience into a satisfying space between following her and cogitating on where they might possibly go. These are cogent lessons on how to exercise the imagination.
In 1985 she visited the United States and Canada as a member of the Four Australian Poets Reading Tour. Her work has been produced for theatre, radio, television. She is represented in numerous poetry anthologies, for example - The Penguin Book of Modern Australian Poetry, The Penguin Anthology of Australian Poetry, The Penguin Book of Australian Women Poets, The Oxford Book of Australian Women's Verse. Her poetry has been published in school poetry text books, and her book on a clear day has been, and is currently, one of the poetry texts listed for study in the New South Wales Higher School Certificate English Syllabus. Her work has been translated into German, French, Spanish, Serbo-Croatian. In 2003, along with nine other Australian poets, she participated in translation workshops at the Berlin Poetry Festival, organised by literaturWERKstatt Berlin, and supported by the Australia Council for the Arts. She has received a number of writing grants from the Literature Board of the Australia Council for the Arts. A detailed literary biography of joanne burns (written by Australian poet Margaret Bradstock) appears in the Dictionary of Literary Biography, Vol 289 (Gale, 2004).
The audio poems were recorded on August 2007 in Sydney, Australia for the River Road Poetry Series. Producer: Carol Jenkins. kept busy is available from www.riverroadpress.net/.

The attack occurred in the town of Bulomarer, and come on the heels of French military intervention in Mali, another African country. The intelligence official, who insisted on anonymity because he was not allowed to discuss the case with the press, said the French commandos were trying to rescue a kidnapped military advisor who they were tipped off was being held there. A French security adviser was kidnapped by the militant Islamist group al-Shabab in Mogadishu, the capital, in 2009.
The intelligence official said the raid caused casualties but that he had no information on the hostage.
"We are aware of the deaths of several al-Shabab fighters during the operation," he said. "Helicopters dropped off soldiers to rescue the man. We don't have confirmations that the man has been rescued."
With France having acted Friday to help Mali against al-Qaida-linked militants who hold more than half of that country and are encroaching further on government-held territory, the raid in Somalia could have been aimed at preventing al-Shabab fighters from harming the French hostage in reprisal. The attack was swift and loud, local residents said.
"We heard a series of explosions followed by gunfire just seconds after a helicopter flew over the town," Mohamed Ali, a resident of Bulomarer, told The Associated Press by phone. "We don't know exactly what happened but the place was an al-Shabab base and checkpoint."

I studied tons of Melatonin, looking for Timed Release, as well as the 3mg dosage, and then also without horrible fillers and junk. Decided on the Natrol. It's ingredient list wasn't too objectionable to me...as some had filler ingredients that I try to stay away from. First, you should study up on Melatonin. It's not just for sleeping. It's an immune system and inflammation regulator amongst many things. Some doctors reports I read say they have treated and eliminated autoimmune disease in their practices with it.... Anyway, 3 mg is considered the max dose and the dose I wanted to try. If you get headaches or depression, then you need to drop to 2 or 1 mg. But 3mg has been perfect for me. Knocks me out and I am sleeping ALL night. Oddly, I go to sleep on my back and wake up on my back...never moving. I also don't remember dreams, which I miss.... Melatonin is apparently known for making you dream crazy dreams but I am sleeping so hard I don't remember any dreams at all. Also, I used to get up 2-3 times at night to urinate. Now, the melatonin makes me sleep through the full bladder....and so I awake with a really full bladder... but at least I am sleeping and can tell a difference in my energy level during the day. Timed release is key.... Also, be careful, the first night I took it, I did get up to the bathroom and was so woosy I nearly fell over. It wasn't a drunk feeling; it was an equilibrium feeling... I do take it right before lying down though, because if you take it earlier and it hits before you are in bed, it makes my eyes so heavy and tired, it's like a headache. So I'd rather take it and immediately get in bed and let it hit me there.
The best time-release melatonin I've tried

This really does seem to be released over 8 hours, as the packaging states. I can recommend this for people who find that ordinary melatonin gets them to sleep, but they may still wake up before they would like to.
Helps a lot!

I have terrible insomnia by means of waking up in the middle of the night. Most of the time this keeps me asleep till at least 6:30. I don't feel as sluggish or drowsy in the morning as with other products. Highly recommed this one.
Good night's sleep

Well I have only used 4 times in the 3 weeks since I bought it, and so far it has worked well. I noticed that dimming the lights and relaxing an hour before sleep drastically improves the full 8 hour dose without interruption. It worked well. No weird feeling in the am, just woke up feeling refreshed and awake. Not groggy and worn out when I toss around on those nights I can't seem to get tired enough to just sleep all the way through. Will continue to use on an as needed basis. A+
The best sleep ever

"Do go back to Big Sur, as long as it's to Treebones":
"It says a lot about the place you're staying when a yurt is the pedestrian option, but that's how we felt when we booked two nights at Treebones Resort the week before last.
See, the reason we were really heading up to Big Sur was because we wanted to stay in The Nest – the treehouse perched on a bluff overlooking Highway 1 and the Pacific. But, thanks to its being booked up months in advance, The Nest was only free on our second night. So the first, we luxed up in a yurt.
Our yurt, 12, qualified as a partial ocean view – although we didn't get much enjoyment from said view because our first day was freezing cold. But there were two chairs on the deck that we could have enjoyed it from, had we brought our longjohns.
The yurt itself was basic but spotless and comfy, too: a queen bed with, for once, a pretty quilt, a futon, a sink (with an eminently stealable bar of handmade lemongrass soap, spring water from their own underground aquifer and compostable cups) and towels. There was a small heater and, for those (um, us) who were still too cold with that, reception had more to loan out. The end result? Toasty."
