Orlando Commercial Vehicle Accident Attorney
As an Orlando commercial vehicle accident attorney, I am well aware of the shock and horror that follows these types of accidents. We recently settled a trucking accident lawsuit involving a family who had lost a mother and sister. Their shock was indescribable. The size and power of these vehicles very often leads to wrongful death cases.
Accidents involving commercial vehicles often result in the most catastrophic injuries because the sheer power of the impact with such a large vehicle. At the same time, we are often more surprised to have an accident with a commercial vehicle like a construction vehicle, intercity busy, rental van, moving truck, or other form of large truck. Typically these large vehicles are driven by professionals who have special drivers' licenses and sometimes other specialized training. Additionally, because commercial vehicles are often operated by companies, their owners have a strong interest in making sure their drivers stay safe and avoid accidents. But a surprisingly large number of people are regularly injured in accidents involving commercial vehicles, and again those types of accidents often lead to the most serious injuries (because the vehicles have so much weight that is directly or indirectly applied to the passengers of both cars). So serious injuries and deaths are sadly not uncommon when commercial vehicles are involved.

How Would An Orlando Commercial Vehicle Accident Attorney Evaluate Your Case?
From a legal standpoint, commercial vehicle accidents can be more complex because potentially both the driver and the company that owns the vehicle might be liable, depending on a variety of factors. If that is true, then there may be two or more complicated insurance policies to evaluate and determine whether there might be coverage. They may also need to more carefully scrutinize the choice and decisions of any accident reconstruction experts involved in the case (these are people who determine things like force of impact based on vehicle weight, for example). You really need to hire an commercial auto accident lawyer with the legal acumen necessary to analyze complex legal documents like insurance policies (most of which are highly technical and never the same–with judicial decisions regularly resting on complicated interpretations of single words or phrases within individual insurance policies) and other complicated issues in these cases.
Commercial Vehicle Accidents Often Cause The Most Catastrophic Injuries Because Of Their Sheer Weight
Orlando commercial vehicle accidents are often the most serious on our highways because of the large size of most commercial vehicles. A delivery truck may not be the size of a semi or tractor trailer, but it is still much bigger than most passenger cars, so can deliver a huge force. This significantly increased force of impact can have a devastating impact, sometimes much different than a passenger car. These commercial vehicles often not only total the other vehicles in the accident, but they may also cause the most serious and disabling injuries, or even deaths. So people inside the vehicle receiving the hit may have permanent, lifelong injuries, such as brain injuries, paralysis, spinal cord injuries, terrible amputations, other other serious and debilitating injuries. When someone experiences this type of injury, a somewhat weird chain of events may happen for them emotionally.
Commercial Vehicle Accident Attorney Should Always Be Mindful Of The Victim's Post-Accident Feelings
People react to these painful and life-altering experiences by going through the same stages of grieving that you might experience from losing a loved one (over the loss of their health and possibly financial well-being and often everything they have known in life suddenly shifting). So the five stages of grief, including shock and denial, are something that their law firm needs to consider and handle with care. Important decisions should always be made while keeping knowledge of this important fact in mind. As an Orlando commercial vehicle accident attorney, I am always very sensitive to my client's emotional status when trying to guide them through important phases of litigation, which is one of many important benefits of working with an Orlando commercial vehicle accident attorney who is going to provide highly personalized, hand-holding type of service.
Medical Bills Often Higher In Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Because of the power of these vehicles, and the resulting and often catastrophic injuries, these injuries are expensive to treat, many times requiring six or even seven figures just for the ER treatment alone. When these high bills arrive, and the victim is not even able to work because they have become disabled, they often feel completely overwhelmed, anxious, and totally unsettled by the extent of their financial and physical injuries combined. If you are having these feelings because someone else was negligently driving a commercial or other vehicle, then I can help you. Together we can file a lawsuit in which you might be able to receive compensation for both your medical bills, lost income, wrongful death of a loved one, and pain and suffering. As an Orlando commercial vehicle accident attorney, I pride myself on providing highly personalized service, talking closely with my clients about their case, including strategies for handling all phases of the lawsuit. You may or may not realize how lawsuits work, but each one is unique and the possibilities for potential arguments (and pitfalls) are nearly endless. And the strategies for handling those lawsuit are as varied as the number of attorneys in the state. Another often unknown but very important fact is that clients play an important role in how their case unfolds–and you need an attorney who will guide and help you gather critical evidence. This gathering usually requires creativity and someone who is highly focused on your case will likely think of more potential arguments to raise in court on your behalf.

Ram Charan next film with director Sukumar has been in the news for a few days. Like Anupama Parameswaran, who was the first choice to mate with Charan, came out of the project, naturally all eyes are on who is going to be the main wife of Charan-Sukumar film.
The last we hear is that Samantha would be the choice. Already, the team is engaged in interviews with Sam and especially Sam would be chained for the role.
Although the name of Rakul was also among the choices, but her name fell as she was the heroine in the last two Charan films - Bruce Lee, Dhruva. Since Charan does not want him to be a back-to-back combination and made two movies with her in a row, he wanted to have another heroine.
Moreover, rumors of the presumed proximity of Ram Charan with Rakul are also behind the fall of the name of Rakul.
Moreover, rumors of the presumed proximity of Ram Charan with Rakul are also behind the fall of the name of Rakul.
Even Kajal is the perfect choice, but now that she just filmed with Chiranjeevi in Khaidi No.150, Charan is suspect that the way the fans, the audience to watch.
Thus, following all these permutations and combinations, we learn that Charan voted for Samantha. An official confirmation of the same is expected shortly.
Meanwhile, the film still to be titled will have a mega launch on Jan 30 which will see Mega Star Chiranjeevi as the main guest.

Washington, DC. The options mentioned recently by the Whitehouse on dealing with North Korea were said to be liberal, but few could dream they included placing US nuclear forces in South Korea and open discusion on how to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.
CIA officials told President Donald Trump this week that possible options to respond to North Korea's nuclear program include assassinating Kim Jong-un and putting nukes back in South Korea, informed sources report.
Trump administration officials leaked news that the ideas were given to Trump by the National Security Council in advance of the his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week in Florida, so Trump could better prepare for negotiations with Jinping.
The CIA strategy would potentially be considered if China does not help influence North Korea by using additional sanctions and diplomatic actions, according to administration members of the Trump Whitehouse.
The idea of returning nuclear weapons to South Korea, which were removed 25 years ago, would be the first nuclear deployment since the Cold War ended. One official who was part of the NSC review said he doesn't think deploying nukes to South Korea amid the high tensions state the US currently faces with North Korea "buys more for us than it costs."
Admiral James Stavridis announced such a move would "only inflame the view from Pyongyang. … I don't see any upside to it because the idea that we would use a nuclear weapon even against North Korea is highly unlikely."
Though an assassination attempt on North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un sounds like a wierd scene from a bad movie, "it is a "tempting strategy when you're faced with a highly unpredictable and highly dangerous leader," Admiral Stavridis said.
"The question you have to ask yourself is what happens the day after?" he said. "I think that in North Korea, it's an enormous unknown."
Other potential measures could include infiltrating the nation with US and South Korea forces to destroy key structures like bridges to prevent the transportation of mobile missiles. All options that constitute acts of war upon an ally of China and Russia. Others point out such "James Bond" fantasies are also considered crimes under United Nations and International Criminal Court statutes.

Texas Town's Fuel Boycott Draws Support, Doubt
The town of Beeville, Texas's boycott against the world's largest oil company will continue until gas is down to $1.30 a gallon, said County Judge Jimmy Martinez, the county's highest elected official. A gallon of regular unleaded cost $2.92 on average around the nation and $2.80 in the Corpus Christi region Sunday, according to AAA.
"I understand free enterprise. I understand we live in America. But, by golly, just because they have a license doesn't mean that they can rob," Martinez said.
A Beeville Bee-Picayune poll showed 72 percent of those surveyed plan to participate in the boycott.
The rural town of 13,000 people has fast-food restaurants and a Wal-Mart, but the long drive to other businesses and services is more than just an inconvenience for some locals.

There are two ways that computer components can transfer data.
One option is to have a point-to-point connection, a private set of wires that connects two components to each other. This allows a very high speed communication, but it makes a more complicated board.
The other approach is a "Bus". A bus connects many devices to each other over a shared set of wires. It operates like the traditional telephone system. Every house is connected to the phone system and is assigned a numeric ID (the phone number). Any phone can communicate with any other phone using the number, then hang up and call someone else.
The first PC in 1981 had a single bus that connected everything. The CPU, memory, and every I/O device all connected to the common bus. That unified bus design survived through the second generation PC AT. However, eventually the speed of computer memory outstripped the common speed used by all the devices. The PC connected the CPU to the memory using a private memory bus, and that started a process of specialization. Today most devices are connected by private point to point wires that connect to "the chipset" on the mainboard. The chipset allows these devices to talk to each other, but since it happens inside a chip, that isn't technically a 'bus" architecture.
First, consider the core computer components:
- The mainboard is now controlled by the "chipset", typically a pair of chips that connect to the CPU and all the other devices. These two chips will be connected to each other by a high speed point to point connection. AMD uses a public standard called HyperTransport. Intel created its own solution.
- The CPU socket is connected to the chipset, and in newer systems it is separately connected to memory. Depending on the type of CPU, there may be 1, 2, or 3 sets of wires connecting the CPU chip to memory buses.
- The memory is a bus because each set of wires from the CPU connects to two sockets into which you can plug two independent DIMM modules. Servers support more than two memory modules, but only by using a more expensive system of buffers and registers that allows greater timing flexibility.
- A Server can also have more than one CPU socket. It is relatively simply to add a second socket, in which case the two CPUs either talk to each other over a direct point to point connection or else they talk to each other through one of the chipset chips. AMD has a design that allows for up to eight sockets to be on the same board. Because CPU to CPU communication requires speeds that cannot be achieved over a bus, larger groups of sockets have point to point connections with a forwarding mechanism, where if two CPUs are not directly connected to each other they can communicate through a third CPU socket to which they are both connected. The middle CPU receives and forwards data and requests.
Many of the devices that in the first PC were separately connected to the bus are, in a modern PC, managed by the Southbridge chip. The keyboard, mouse, serial port, parallel (printer) port, disks, LAN, audio, and sometimes the video are all internally controlled by the chip with whatever internal connections the chip chooses to provide. Signals from the Southbridge chip are then distributed throughout the mainboard to connect to various other cables and connectors.
The old "Parallel" ATA (IDE) is a bus that transfers data down the flat ribbon cable to up to two disk devices at 100 Megabytes per second (Mb/s).
The new Serial ATA connector and cable is a point to point connection to one disk that operates at 300 or (in newer systems) 600 Megabytes per second. Most physical disks cannot transfer data faster than 100 MB/s anyway, but new SSD disks can reach 200 MB/s and use the extra speed.
The mainboard may have one to three old PCI adapter card slots. This is a bus because all the slots share the same communication wires. The bus transfers 32 bits (4 bytes) every tick of a 33 MHz clock and therefore has a rate of 133 Mb/s. Servers may have a larger version of this slot that transfers 64 bits every tick of a 66 or 100 MHz clock.
The new standard for adapter cards is PCI-e. As you can see from the picture, PCIe slots are not all the same size like PCI slots are. That is because each slot is connected to one or more point to point pairs of data signaling wires called a "line". Each line operates at 250 megabytes per second (in both directions simultaneously), and they add up so two lines is 500 MB/s and so on. The size of the slot indicates the maximum number of lines that can be connected. In this picture, the top slot is x4 and can connect to 4 lines, the next slot is x16 and can connect to 16 lines, and then there is an x1 and a second x16.
A card has a size just like the slot has a size. You can plug a smaller card into a larger slot, but not the reverse. However, while the size of the slot determines the maximum number of line that can be connected to it, the slot may be physically connected to fewer lines than the maximum. For example, an x4 slot may actually only have two active lines, and an x16 slot may only have 8 active lines. At boot time the system uses the smaller number of lines connected to the slot and the number of lines supported by the card.
A USB port connects the PC to an external slow or medium speed device. USB 2.0 can operate at 480 megabits per second, which superficially translates to 60 megabytes per second except that the communications protocol is not that efficient and so you are not likely to see real transfer faster than 40 MB/s. The cable appears to be point to point, but the two sockets share a common controller with limited bandwidth.
Most computer components operate at speeds that no longer permit the type of shared wires and signaling provided by a bus architecture. However, different speeds and requirements produce different custom solutions. The HyperTransport that connect an AMD CPU chip to the chipset and to other CPU sockets (on a server) is different from the PCIe lines that connect the chipset to adapter cards, which in turn are different from the SATA cable that connects the chipset to a hard disk. The original PC had a single unified bus because that was all that the technology could support at the time. Now we can afford a more complicated set of specialized solutions.

*Last week the nation's newspapers and television news shows were abuzz with the story of Mohamed Osman Mohamud – the 19-year-old Somali-born American who was allegedly involved in a plot to detonate a car (or van) bomb during a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon.
However, key aspects of the arrest and charges against Mohamud bother me tremendously and raise serious entrapment issues. First of all, there was no "plot." The very statements from the FBI agents involved in the undercover operation reveal that it was the FBI which concocted the so-called plot. The agents then contacted the 19-year-old and convinced him to become part of the fictitious terrorist plan. The agents pretended they were Islamic militants who hated America.
Secondly, there was no real threat. The bomb provided by the agents was inert and posed absolutely no threat to public safety. On top of a dummy bomb, Mohamud was so tightly controlled by the agents that Portland FBI official Arthur Balizan admitted at a press conference, "[At] every turn, we denied him the ability to actually carry out the attack."
In other words, what took place in Portland was not a terrorist plot; it was a setup which Mohamud was just stupid enough to fall into. Stated more simply, he was entrapped. I am not a lawyer. But I have been reliably told that one of the key elements of an entrapment defense is whether or not the alleged crime would have taken place had it not been for the actions of the undercover agents.
In this case the answer is a resounding "no!" Mohamud was not sitting around plotting a terrorist attack. He was perusing a career in Rap music. Exactly why the FBI singled him out is unclear. The only information provided to the public was that after being convinced the agents were Islamic militants, he told them he could get a gun and that he had written an article on Jihad (Holy Way) workout tips.
Indeed, the case smelled so much like a setup that Attorney General Eric Holder was forced at a press conference to deny that Mohamud had been a victim of illegal entrapment by the FBI.
Now, please understand me. If Mohamud actually agreed to participate in a terrorist plot in which he knew innocent men, women and children could have been killed, then he deserves to be punished.
But what took place in Portland was not the FBI uncovering a terrorist plot. It was the FBI convincing a tough-talking but gullible young man to participate in something which, as far as we know, had not even occurred to him until the FBI took advantage of his youth, his macho and his religious beliefs to set him up.
Law enforcement officers should solve crimes; not create them in order to make falsely sensational arrests.

Moscow: Russia expressed regret at the failure of the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution on Palestinian statehood, describing it as a "strategic error".
"Russia regrets that the UN Security Council did not manage to adopt the draft resolution," Russia`s envoy to the United Nations Vitaly Churkin said after the vote late on Tuesday.
"We consider this a strategic error," he told the council in footage broadcast by the Rossiya 24 state news channel.
The Russian ambassador accused Washington of "monopolising" peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, as well as of bringing the negotiations "to a dead end".
Russia was among eight countries that backed the controversial resolution setting a 12-month deadline for Israel and the Palestinians to reach a final peace deal, one short of the nine required for it to pass.
Australia and the United States voted against, while the other five council members abstained.

So... I've been gone for a LONG TIME. This is partly because I started up a new blog (that I now update twice weekly), and my day job hours have increased by about 5 hours. Leaves little time for blogging on cosplay progress. But I've been working on things here and there, and this is one costume I was working on, then got distracted, got distracted by some other shiny objects, then came back to.... This costume wasn't too difficult but a few things gave me headaches here and there.
1. Here are the collar piece/cuffs. I will NEVER AGAIN use bias binding as a substitute for TWILL TAPE OR RIBBON. This little bitch kept moving underneath the foot and as a result I had to rip out the seam three times.
Yes. I make mistakes. A ton of them.
Had to pin everything down multiple times.
2. I made the cuff TOO SMALL TO FIT THROUGH MY SEWING MACHINE SO I HAD TO HAND SEW THIS SEAM. :( Oh well. Blind stitch ftw?
3. I don't believe I have ever made a skirt with inverted box pleats before, not even during college. So this was fun.
All of these funky pentagon shapes are used for the pleat backings.
I will write more details in my next post. All of these are overlocked to prevent fraying
since I will be handling the skirt so much during this process.

Tipton is a town in the Sandwell borough of the West Midlands, England, with a population of around 47,000. Tipton is located about halfway between Birmingham and Wolverhampton. It is a part of the West Midlands conurbation and is a part of the Black Country.
Tipton was an urban district in Staffordshire until 1938, when it became a municipal borough. The vast majority of the Borough of Tipton was transferred into West Bromwich County Borough in 1966, although the Tividale part of the town became part of Warley. Along with the rest of West Bromwich and Warley, Tipton became part of the Sandwell Metropolitan Borough in 1974 and remains within this local authority to this day.
Tipton was once one of the most heavily industrialised towns in the Black Country. But most of its factories closed during the 1980s and new housing estates have been built on the site of many former factories, the new private homes have seen an upturn in Tipton's fortunes by rising house prices.
The far right British National Party has recently performed well in municipal elections in Tipton, currently having two elected councillors; one in Princes End and one in Tividale, as well as a third councillor, Simon Smith, who was elected in Great Bridge but has since left the party and serves as an independent member. Tividale has a relatively high percentage of ethnic minority residents, mostly Muslims of Pakistani origin, but the Princes End and Great Bridge areas are predominantly occupied by white English residents. Tipton was described by the BBC during the 2000 West Bromwich West by-election as, "One of the few places in Britain with no middle class".
Much of the town has an urban feel to it and over the years the town centre has become a troublesome area due to gangs of youths causing anti-social behaviour although in recent times control and order seems to be coming back to an extent
Until the 18th century, Tipton was a collection of small hamlets. Industrial growth started in the town when ironstone and coal were discovered in the 1770s. A number of canals were built through the town and later railways, which greatly accelerated the pace of industrialisation.
The engineer James Watt built his first steam engine in or very near Tipton in the 1770s, which was used to pump water from the mines. In 1780, James Keir and Alexander Blair set up a chemical works there, making vast quantities of alkali and soap.
The massive expansion in iron and coal industries led to the population of Tipton expanding rapidly through the 19th century, going from 4,000 at the beginning of the century to 30,000 at the end. Tipton gained a reputation as being "the quintessence of the Black Country" because chimneys of local factories belched heavy pollution into the air, whilst houses and factories were built side by side. Most of the traditional industries which once dominated the town have since disappeared.
The Black Country Living Museum in nearby Dudley re-creates life in the early 20th century Black Country, in original buildings which have been painstakingly rebuilt and furnished. There is a residential canal basin at the museum - Tipton was once known as the Venice of the Midlands because it had so many canals, although some of the 'minor' canals in the town were filled-in during the 1970s. The canals today form a vital cycling, wildlife and leisure facility.
The area has a distinctive spoken dialect, different from the Birmingham accent. The richest of Tipton speech is very similar to that which Shakespeare, or even Chaucer, would have spoken. Those who grew up here can often tell the difference between Tipton speech and the speech of people from other Black Country towns.
The town has retained a traditional horse-keeping culture; private horses are kept freely on public land and are occasionally 'trotted' on roads (pulling a rider on a lightweight racing cart). There are also "tatters" (i.e. rag-and-bone men), who also have links to the horse culture. Despite persistent council attempts to clear horses off public land, horses still appear in parks and on canal banks from time to time.
Until 1966, the town had its own council. The headquarters were based in a 19th century building on Owen Street, near the railway station, and fell into disuse on the abolition of Tipton council (when it was absorbed into West Bromwich) in 1966. However, the building remaining standing for another 13 years, finally being demolished in 1979. The site of the building is now a public car park.
Tipton was one of the key towns in the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century. In 1800, it was a predominantly rural area with just a few coal mines. By the final quarter of the century, it was a heavily populated area with thousands of houses as well as numerous coal mines, factories and blast furnaces.
Notable firms to have been based in Tipton include British Steel, Bean Industries (who owned a huge site which actually crossed the border with Coseley) and Angle Ring. However, most of these factories had closed by the year 2000. The huge rolling mills on Bloomfield Road closed in 2005 and were demolished in the autumn of 2006; the site is now being developed for private housing. The Angle Ring, however, still stands opposite the rolling mills site. Vono only recently moved to a new base on the Patent Shaft site in Wednesbury.
Tipton has direct bus links with the towns of Dudley, Walsall, Stourbridge, Brierley Hill, Sedgley, Coseley, West Bromwich, Oldbury, Bilston, Wednesbury and Darlaston, though not all buses reach the town centre.
Tipton has a direct rail link with the areas of Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Coventry and from 14 December, 2008 this now links to Walsall. There are two railway stations - Tipton railway station in the town centre plus Dudley Port railway station.
Tipton railway station started a multi-million pound refurbishment on 14 September 2009 with an estimated completion date of May 2010. There are no train services at the station during this period, although a replacement bus service is in place to take passengers to the Coseley railway station where connections can be made.[1]
It is currently served by just one railway line, as the line from Walsall to Stourbridge closed in 1964. This line served railway stations at Dudley Port Lower Level and Great Bridge North, both of which closed in 1964 due to the Beeching Axe, though the line remained open to goods trains until 1993. It is set to re-open in 2011 as a Midland Metro expansion on one side and a goods track on the other.
A railway line existed between Great Bridge and Swan Village in nearby West Bromwich, but was closed in 1968 under the Beeching Axe.
Another line existed between Princes End and Ocker Hill, being closed to passenger trains in 1916 but remaining open to goods traffic until 1980. The closure of the railway was followed with the construction of a pedestrian walkway on the trackbed. The final stub of the line, which linked Wednesbury with Ocker Hill Power Station was closed in 1991.
Steve Bull, who was born on the town's Moat Farm Estate on 28 March, 1965, was a professional footballer. Other footballers born in Tipton included Isaac Clarke (1915-2001), Joe Mayo (born 1953), Steve Guppy (born 1969) and Mick Hoban (born 1952). Arthur Hooper was an amateur sprinter with Tipton Harriers and a member of the England Schoolboys' team. However, he stopped training for Tipton Harriers and he became a professional footballer with Wolverhampton Wanderers amongst others. Other sportsmen from Tipton include William Perry, a Victorian bareknuckle boxer Champion of England from 1850-57. There is a statue to Perry, known as 'the Tipton Slasher' in Coronation Gardens in Tipton centre. Jack Holden (1907-2004) was a runner for Tipton Harriers and Great Britain. Shaun Perry is a rugby union player for Bristol Rugby and England.
Norman Kendrick was a resident of Prince's End, Tipton. He was an early pioneer of the Coach Travel Industry and a civic leader for over 50 years up to his death at 75. Known as 'Ten Men' Kendrick because of his 6' 7", 21 stone frame.
Shafiq Rasul, Ruhal Ahmed and Asif Iqbal were inmates of Guantanamo Bay in Cuba from 2002 to 2004. They were captured during the invasion of Afghanistan whilst, apparently, operating with the defending Taliban forces. They are popularly known as the "Tipton Taliban", following a meme whereby victims of an alleged miscarriage of justice have come to be known by the name of a city or town, followed by a number. See the Birmingham Six and the Guildford Four. In 2006, a Michael Winterbottom film claiming to be a historically accurate representation of the their torture and imprisonment was released, called The Road to Guantánamo.
Although they were released without charge, they allege that people in their home town of Tipton still think they're terrorists and that there's too much racism in Tipton for them to be able to return.[2]
Tipton hit the headlines once again on 27 September 2004, when a fire at a house in Peake Drive, Dudley Port, claimed the lives of four members of an Asian family. A fifth member of the family survived the blaze after jumping out of an upstairs window.
Gurmej Rai, the estranged husband of one of the victims, was found guilty on four charges of murder and a charge of attempted murder on 20 February 2006. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a recommended minimum term of 35 years, although he had not actually started the blaze. He had paid two other men, Rajiv Sahonta and Ravinder Bedhan to dowse the house with petrol and set it alight, as well as giving them a key to enter the house. They were cleared of murder but found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 14 years in prison, though they had already spent a year in custody and the terms of their sentence means they will be eligible for parole in 2012.
The Newcastle upon Tyne based adult comic Viz used Tipton as a perennial butt of jokes throughout the 1990s, involving a fictitious councillor, Hugo Guthrie. Guthrie may, however, have been based on the real inter-war figure of Councillor Doughty who forbade any more pubs to open until one was opened carrying his name — now renamed the "Pie Factory".
Tipton Family Church was established in November 1992. It is an Evangelical Christian fellowship.
The area is notable for being the location of filming for the British comedy film Anita and Me, set in the 1970s.
Tipton is a small town in the West Midlands conurbation. It is a mainly industrial and residential area with a Museum and a limestone caves, aswell as a canal tours and nearby entertainments in the Castle Gate park.
From outside the UK, Tipton is closest to Birmingham International Airport. A regular train service provides connections to Tipton, but you may have to change at Birmingham New Street.
By road, Tipton is a few miles from Junction 9 of the M6. Follow the road signs into Wednesbury, where Tipton will become well signposted.
Tipton train station is on a commuter service which travels mostly between Birmingham New Street and Wolverhampton, usually every half an hour during weekdays. Buses are also frequent with most of them going to the main bus station in Dudley, where connections to all areas of the West Midlands can be found.
In Coronation Gardens, you will find a statue to William Perry, a 19th century Bare-fist boxing champion, often known as the "Tipton Slasher".
Tipton has a large horse population. Most of the horses are privately owned and many can be seen grazing in the public spaces. They are ridden with a small two person chariot along the roads so be mindful when driving.
Tipton has a network of canals, steeped in industrial history, that provide excellent walking and cycling routes.
The Tipton Sports Academy provides facilities for many sports including track sports, football, tennis, squash and others, all open to the pubic at cheap rates.
The Black Country Living Museum is a 26 acre mostly outdoor recreation of the local area during the last 100 years. It includes its own internal bus service, coal mine, funfair, canal port, rebuilt houses from the period and more traditional museum displays. Entrance fee is expensive (over £10) but you can easily spend a whole day living in the past. It is situated between Tipton and Dudley.
There are few shops of interest to visitors. The main supermarkets in Tipton are The Cooperative near the train station and an Asda and Farmfoods in Princes End.
Tipton, especially around Owen Street, has several takeaways and restaurants serving either traditional Fish & Chips, Baltis, Curries and Pizzas. There are also several pubs that serve high quality food.
Mad O'Roukes Pie Factory is a theme pub which serves a range of hearty pies and ales.
Make sure you try KVE Pork Scratchings, available in most local shops and pubs - they're a local delicacy.
Tipton has many pubs that serve similar drinks to the rest of the UK. Even the local pubs are filled with lively bodies and all should make you feel welcome.
The Ace of Spades (formerly Barge and Barrel) is a friendly rock and blues popular with motorcyclists. It has a pleasant beer garden next to the canal.
There is also a pub opposite Coranation Gardens called The Fountain. This too has a pleasent beer garden next to the canal, and is on the same canal as The Ace of Spades, which makes it ideal if you wish to try both locations out. This was also known as the drinking place of the "Tipton Slasher".
There are a couple of inexpensive guest houses located on the Sedgley Road, a few minutes walk out of the town centre. "Almost en-suite" rooms are available in Mad O'Roukes Pie Factory at around £20 per person per night.
Tipton has no vibrant nightlife, but Wolverhampton and Birmingham are quite accessible.

Starting an Auckland fishing charters business is a lifelong ambition for many. Being able to invite fellow passionate fisherman onto your boat in order to capture a series of spectacular fish can lead to magical adventures, but you'll need expert business skill in order to achieve the results that you require. You'll need a lot of initial capital in order to get started and will have to have the cash required to pay for everything such as the boat, licences and security. In Auckland Fishing charters are subject to certain rules and regulations so it's important to check that you'll be adhering to these from the moment that you begin your operations.
Meeting all concerns
You'll need to be able to drive the boat and acquire a captain's licence. You'll need high-end equipment on board for your customers to use too. There are likely to be several companies competing for your customers at any time, so you'll need to be able to convince people why they should choose you over other candidates. You'll need to provide enough space for your customers to fish and relax comfortably on your boat when you offer Boat Charter Auckland fishing charters and will certainly need to provide bathroom and toilet facilities. You'll need to ensure that all safety concerns are met too, and may well wish to practice tying and rigging extensively before start to offer out your Auckland fishing charters to the public.
Increase your exposure
You shouldn't expect to charge too much for Auckland fishing charters when you're just starting out. In fact it may be a good idea to offer low introductory rates to get people talking about your service in a positive manner. Once you've started to build up a network of customers, you should find that it's not too difficult to attract new ones. It's important not to let your standards slip at any point however, as complacency may well reverse any good fortunes you experience. You'll need to market your services efficiently too, using Facebook and Twitter if necessary to increase exposure. Old-fashioned marketing tricks don't go amiss either, and you may find that attract custom by placing adverts in the local newspaper or fishmongers for your Auckland fishing charters.

I really do not know if I want to subject myself to this movie 'classic' redone in colour. Certain theatres nationwide will be running this special edition of Ed Wood's science fiction movie Plan 9 from Outer Space tonight. It will have as special guest stars people from Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Maybe because of the guests I will go.
Suddenly it makes sense how the likes of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have risen to power. The dead do not think.

how much memory required for the installation of window xp, i have a ram of 256mb, but it is shared by different hardware , and i have 140mb free memory when i m going to installed the xp window
by kashif
Though personally always try to install 1000Mb Memory to run AOK !
Computing is like life, head in the Clouds !
The minimum RAM required to install XP is 64 MB. However, that isn't very realistic with modern software. To obtain decent performance with modern software you need a minimum of 512 MB, and preferably more.
kashkmk, strikes me that you're confusing free HD space and system memory (RAM). Two different critters.
RAM memory is non-varying and installed separately. Your machine uses it as dynamic storage (changes) when rendering web pages, pictures, etc. while the HD is used for static (fixed) storage to store programs, etc. Make sure you're comparing apples to apples rather than apples to oranges.

Students should consult with an academic adviser prior to registering for a proctored ALEKS placement test.
You may take the ALEKS Math Assessment up to five times within a one-year period. ALEKS saves all of your responses, so the test does not have to be completed in one sitting. However, if you do not complete the test in 24 hours, you will have to restart the assessment.
For the test to be effective, you must take it on your own, without notes, books, or help from others. ALEKS is a test to help you find the course where you'll have the best chance to succeed.
When taking the math placement test, try to plan for 90 minutes of uninterrupted time. Have a pencil and plenty of scratch paper, but do not use your personal calculator. An online calculator will be provided.
After taking the math placement test, you will receive access to ALEKS learning modules that you can use to brush up on specific math topics you think you may need more practice on. You will have six months to use the learning modules, and you can retest up to four times.
To find out what scores are eligible for classes, refer to this table.

With no party securing a majority in yesterday's election, Nick Clegg's Liberal Democrat Party now has the power to sweep David Cameron into Downing Street or to prop up the Labour government that soundly rejected at the polls. Earlier today, Clegg stated that the Conservatives had the right to try and form a government. Cameron and Clegg will meet later tonight to try and hammer out the details. if the meeting is unproductive, Clegg will have a decision to make and neither option is attractive to his party.
To the extent the Liberal Democrats stand for anything, their political views are more closely aligned with those of the Labour Party. Both parties contain a vocal peacenik element. Both parties believe in an activist government, though the Liberal Democrats are more sensitive to civil liberties. Labour is a better match for Clegg's party.
The problem is that the Liberal Democrats would probably be sacrificing themselves if they side with Labour. Part of Clegg's appeal during the pre-election hype was his commitment to a clean break from the politics of the day. Propping up a Prime Minster who is as unpopular as he is incompetent would eviscerate any goodwill that Clegg may have built up with voters during the campaign. While it's true that this year's Cleggmania did not translate into votes, it did cause many people to at lest consider voting LibDem for the first time. Any hopes of eventually winning over the people who considered voting LibDem but voted for someone else this time will be dashed if Clegg keeps the Prime Minister in power over the objections of the British people. Labour may be more in tune with who the Liberal Democrats are, but political suicide may be the price of following their instincts.
Clegg could also choose to side with the Conservatives. Clegg has already stated that the largest party should have the right to form the next government and David Cameron is making overtures. The problem with supporting the Conservatives is that rank and file Liberal Democrats could revolt. Although Cameron has not proven himself to be as skeptical of the state as Margaret Thatcher, most Liberal Democrats view the Tories as a party of Jesse Helms/Jim DeMint hybrids. The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats simply are not compatible.
The wisest move Clegg could make is to refuse to enter into a coalition with the Conservatives, but publicly state his support for the Conservatives forming a minority government. The Liberal Democrats could vote in favor or abstain from voting on the Queen's Speech and on the budgets to keep the government afloat, and then work with Cameron's government on an issue by issue basis. That way, there would be no entangling alliance that would risk an intra-party civil war and the British people would see that Clegg's Liberal Democrats respect the will of the people. That would leave the UK with a stable, minority government similar to the one they have in Canada led by Stephen Harper. That way, everyone wins. Except Gordon Brown of course, but that was what yesterday was all about anyway.

Race AFSP 2018
Welcome to my fundraising page! I'm honored to be running the 2018 Chicago Marathon on the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) team, in memory of my sister. Please join me in remembering Katherine and honoring anyone else lost to suicide, by supporting AFSP and donating whatever you can right away.
I lost my only sister, Katherine, at the age of 37, to suicide, on March 26, 2012. Devastating. Life-changing. We didn't see it coming, but hindsight is a slippery slope. My sister was an amazing person that lived with Crohn's Disease, and kept her daily battles with depression and anxiety masked from so many of us. I would do anything to get her back. But I can't. What I CAN do is live my life proudly in her honor and make it my mission to share my story, give others hope, and see the beauty in today. I am a better person because of my sister, and she continues to teach me so much.
I am running and raising funds to save lives. I'm running to create awareness to suicide. I'm running to fight stigma and the labeling associated with suicide and mental illness. I'm running because YOU matter. I humbly ask for your help, support, and encouragement.
My goal is to raise $6,000 for AFSP. I hope I far exceed that. This money will help AFSP continue to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. The money I raise will help AFSP fund scientific research, educate the public about mood disorders and suicide prevention, promote policies and legislation that impact suicide, and support survivors of suicide loss and people at risk.. My dream is to touch many, many lives. I ask you to be one of those people and to share this message with all those around you. Please help me support this worthy cause. I'd love comments and encouragement on my blog pages, please share or like them on Facebook and elsewhere and follow me. More of my thoughts on suicide, mental illness, dreaming, and living life for today can be found here: www.dreamydream.com. We're all in this crazy life together. Thank you.
My father was in the Air Force for more than 20 years, I was a firefighter for 10 years, and I was part of a local Critical Incident Stress Management team supporting law enforcement, firefighters, and paramedics. I also run in honor and support of all of these groups due to their increased risk levels for suicide and mental health issues.
Any contribution will help the work of AFSP and all donations are 100% tax deductible. Donating online is safe and easy. To make an online donation please click the "Donate Now" button at the top of this page. For more information, please visit https://afsp.org/chapter/afsp-illinois/.
I will spend this summer training for the Chicago Marathon and running its 26.2 miles for the AFSP. I ask for your support to help me reach my fundraising goal. Please wish me luck completing my training and getting to the starting line healthy. I will take it from there :)

FURTHER free tickets to the America's Cup racing have been added to meet high demand.
The additional tickets are for Waterfront Festival Arena on Southsea Common, during the day on Saturday, July 25, and Sunday, July 26.
I'm so excited to sing at the closing ceremonyBGT finalist Issac Waddington
And Portchester's Isaac Waddington, 15, who made it to the final of Britain's Got Talent, will take to the stage on the Sunday as part of the closing ceremony.
Although the singing sensation did not win the competition overall, he impressed BGT boss Simon Cowell so much that he signed him up to his label Syco.
Isaac, a Portsmouth Grammar School student, said: 'I'm so excited to sing at the closing ceremony.
'I watched the last America's Cup in 2013 and was blown away by some of the races, especially after growing up by a boatyard environment.
'I've been a Portsmouth boy for all my life so it's a real honour to do such a big thing in my hometown.'
X-Factor finalist Rebecca Ferguson has also joined the line-up.
She said: 'I'm so delighted to be performing at this America's Cup event.
'What an honour to be chosen to be involved in such an inaugural sporting event. I look forward to seeing you there.'
Six America's Cup teams will compete and there will be plenty of entertainment in the four days for the World Series, which runs from July 23 to July 26, featuring a British team led by Olympic sailing legend Sir Ben Ainslie.

In the early stage of construction, sites are often void of luxuries such as power, internet and telecommunications. The most organised site managers will have a generator and fuel at the top of their requirement list and will be relentless in their pursuance of power. Mobile technology enables sites to have a lifeline to the corporate offices and maybe access to basic connectivity allowing the site team to function for a limited period, mainly during enabling works. There is a definite demand for internet on construction sites.
Internet connectivity gets less attention and below are a few good reasons it shouldn't.
Demand for Internet on Construction Sites
Modern construction sites need information to move freely
As programmes get more demanding there is a greater demand from the site team for information. Email satisfactorily answers basic questions and provides minimal support to the team at the coal face. However when a sub-contractor requires the latest CAD, DWG or even 3D images to carry out their role and maintain programme integrity; this information needs to move succinctly. Without a platform to share this type of information the process of passing information reverts to archaic methods one step short of a snail mail.
Office equipment needs connectivity
Modern printers and most supporting pieces of office equipment use network features and enable the whole site team to share items like printers without disturbing others or chopping and changing cables or leads. Now the office has the ability to function.
What about Site Security?
Often overlooked until a member of the SHEQ team says there should be CCTV overlooking aspects of the site entrance or storage areas. Any idea what most modern CCTV systems with remote monitoring facilities require to function to their full potential? You guessed it, internet. The only thing worse than not having these systems, is having them without the ability to utilise them.
Communications, office essentials and site security are 'the basics' that need internet on construction sites. Then it starts to get more complex.
Internet of Things
What happens when we attempt to integrate the internet of things and fully utilise the data available on a daily basis at site? The ability to quickly refer to how many Trades are working in specific areas of the site in the event of a fire alarm. Include in that the information from the fire alarm. The ability to monitor, order and coordinate deliveries and removals. This connectivity enables the payment of consultants and subcontractors as soon as works are complete and it should all manifest as efficiency on the overall programme.
Common data environment
With the way the technological aspects of the construction industry have evolved and data sharing through common data environments(CDE) the understated little wifi router will become the nucleus of most remote teams. A CDE will require all members to have access to the internet to be able to access whichever cloud based technology it requires. As Building Information Modelling(BIM) continues its envelopment of construction projects the need for a site team to be interconnected is essential.
Construction site internet options
There are a number of internet solutions available depending on the requirements and duration of the project. Here are a few examples.
Short for Digital Subscriber Line, DSL is a very popular choice. The connection is fast and it is widely available
Pros: DSL is definitely fast and reliable. It is available in most urban areas and does not occupy your phone line.
Cons: DSL is a good option but you still need a physical phone line for it to work. Depending on where your site is, that may not be an option or that may take too long.
This is a wireless modem that provides internet service anywhere in the country where the network is available.
Pros: Portable, it's quick to set up as you literally only need power.
Cons: 3G can be somewhat slow depending on usage and multiple users can slow the transfer of data.
One of our favoured and recommended options is 4G, an upgrade from 3G as it can be up to five times faster. 4G solutions on a construction site are great for temporary solutions as well as a backup service.
Tethering is for those who already have a smartphone such and use a data plan from their provider.
Pros: No additional setup is required
Cons: Not ideal for larger teams and areas of poor reception.
Satellite connections lets you connect to the internet by using a satellite dish. It sounds like a great production, and the price tag reflects that.
Better communication, better connection will allow project managers to be connected with the office, improve common data environment and control resources translating into a business advantage.

The 11th Annual Chris Wilcox Youth Basketball Camp will be held July 8-12 at the Whiteville High School gym. The camp is open to children and youths of ages 7 through high school. Each daily session will run from 8:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. Registration fee is $50 per camper.
Wilcox, who recently completed his 11th season in the National Basketball Association as a member of the Boston Celtics, has along with his mother Debra Brown provided the camp with the assistance of former Whiteville High School basketball coach Glenn McKoy and a large number of other coaches and players. The camp has drawn approximately 200 youngsters each year.
Wilcox, who led Whiteville High School to the 1999 state 2A championship and had a big hand in the University of Maryland's 2002 NCAA championship season, was the first round draft pick of the Los Angeles Clippers in 2002. The 6-foot-10, 235-pound Wilcox's NBA career has taken him from the Clippers to the Seattle SuperSonics/Oklahoma City Thunder to the New York Knicks to the Detroit Pistons and currently the Celtics.

About Corks and Canvas Events
Corks and Canvas Events, like a work of fine art, came about by pairing a good idea with a passion to create. The founders both came from the marketing world, where they spent their days devising campaigns and events to inspire their audiences to take action. A shared love for art and wine inspired them to bend their action-creating talents toward a new goal—hosting painting and wine events in area wineries and wine bars, allowing guests to "uncork their creativity" and promote the burgeoning Washington wine industry in a local setting.
Their idea took the form of Corks and Canvas Events, where experienced artists lead guests step-by-step through the painting creation process. Guests re-create various paintings, everything from lush vineyard scenes to preening roosters, while sipping on glasses of local wines.

JOHNSON VALLEY � The Griffin King of the Hammers started out as a modest race between a group of 12 drivers competing for a pack of beer.
Boy, has it expanded in the last eight years.
King of the Hammers Media Director Emily Miller estimated that about 40,000 spectators attended the annual event, which concluded Friday with the King of the Hammers race. Four-hundred race teams competed during the week.
There were 35,000 attendees at the 2013 event.
The area of Means Dry Lake, which has the appearance of open desert during almost any other time of the year, is transformed into Hammertown for a week every February, filled with vendors, 4-wheel vehicles, streets, RVs, a big screen and lots of dust.
The event drew people from such places as Iceland and Japan and from all over the United States. Gianni Vecchiarelli came from Denver, and he ended up pitting for Connecticut resident Jay Calloway. Vecchiarelli met up with a group of 10 that included a man from Georgia.
Friday's race followed a grueling three-lap, 200 mile course that included desert racing as well as rock crawling. The race began at 8 a.m. and racers had 14 hours to finish. Racers had to have started their third lap by 6 p.m. in order to officially finish the race. Of the 158 who started the race, only 63 had a chance of finishing. There were more on the course, and some may finish even after the 10 p.m. deadline.
"The drivers will do whatever to finish," Miller said.
Loren Healy of Farmington, N.M., claimed Friday's race for the second time, winning in an unofficial time of 8 hours, 3 minutes, 25 seconds. He also won the race in 2010 and became just the second racer after Shannon Campbell to win the twice in the eight years it's existed.
Derek West (8:04:34) was second with Tom Pellegrini (8:18:42) coming in third.
The King of the Hammers is the first race of the Ultra4 Racing Series. For more coverage, see ultra4racing.com.
Healy wins King of the Hammers again

Cable #6 PreviewPosted by NEIL04 at 12:00 PM
I've got Previews and more previews for you today as well as a three issue wrap up of the Limited Series Avengers/Invaders which has been really good. Why would it not be, it is being spearheaded by Alex Ross and Jim Kreuger. For now let us look at Cable #6, which has had its ups and downs over the course of its first 5 issues. Duane Swierczynski is definitely not going to be receiving any awards for this series. Maybe he can pilot it out of the catastrophe it has become, but I doubt the readers will be there by the time he does. This issue is going to be an oversized issue, hopefully the format gives Swierczynski the room to play catch up with the story otherwise I will really be looking this series as on its way out the door for my box. It has already lost its spot in the review rotation. Whether you see more depends on the next few issues. Check out these pages, which doesn't really bode well for the series, i could do with a lot less Cable running from Bishop.

So, I know it's been awhile, but for the most part my husband and I wereon a cruise. We had an AMAZING time! I really wanted to be able to take my Femara on board, yet still no period! It's now day 60something, only keeping track in my planner.
Anyways, as the last post reads I went to the doctor a few weeks ago to complain about not having a monthly period (oh how the tune changes when you're TTC!) and he gave me a perscription to "jump start" things. He also told me, to my heart break, that he would be unwilling to try any other procedure due to my age. According to him, I am "too young to be saddled with multiples". Funny thing is, I thought that was my decision! I told him, as nicely and firm and possible, "If the only way is to put 30 in there, then I'll take them all! Just help me." He refused. So, until the age of "at least" 26-28 I will be TTC on Femara and prayers- which I know, can do wonders... but...
I was just able to pick up the perscription to "jump start things" today. I turned in a perscription for this and for another Femara bottle. Even though I haven't had the chance to take the drugs just yet, I do have two months worth in my kitchen. I thought filling the perscriptions wouldn't hurt and while we're seriously taking them I won't be in such a rush to run to Walgreens at a certain time every month. Today I should have recieved my third month, but instead I was handed a computer print-out and told to call the number on the sheet. Confused, I left and got in my car to check out the sheet. On the top in bold letters it read, "Third- Party REJECT. Plan exceeded" Hm. Great thanks, I have no idea what that is. After calling I found out the following... Now, I am taking this a bit easier because I have NOT taken the perscriptions yet, and I MAY be overreacting because I am so sensitive to this issue... however, after calling the phone number the woman proceeded to tell me my insurance plan only covered the first two Femara pick-ups. At this point I was thinking, "Okay whatever, going to cost about 5x as much but why couldn't I get it today??". I kept this to myself and patiently waited for her to give me the line that made me want to bust up laughing and crying at once. "Your insurance only covers two pharmacy pick-ups because they believe that is the medication has not been... um, effective in two months time that if you continue to choose to take this medication that you need to buy in bulk."
Are. You. Kidding. Me?? If I had been taking the medication over the last two months and I hadn't gotten pregnant they're asking me to buy in BULK? Does that not just scream FAIL at you? lol.
Anyways, I placed an order for the lowest "bulk" I could. Three months. I plan to start taking the first medication tonight or tomorrow. I have to take it for seven days and hopefully my "gift" (which I'm now really starting to believe is a gift!) appears, and then I will be able to start taking the Femara on Day 5. Along with this I need to continue taking folic acid and fiber suppliments.
In the end, I'd swallow a large screeen TV if it would aid me to being "Mommy".
Along these lines, with HUGE excitment, our PRIDE classes for fostering begin just around the corner! August 16th is our first class and I am BEYOND thrilled to get this process going. People ask me what I will do if I'm approved to foster two children AND get pregnant with possible multiples. I simply tell them, then I would have four (or more) children. Simple math to me.
I know I sound crazy to most... but you have no idea what point this struggle brings you to unless you go through it.

salt in the wound
here I am, sitting in the waiting room of the doctor's office to see what the next step is that I should take to get pregnant. the small room is filled with ten pregnant bellies and 5 children under the age of two. I don't know what to think. I'm not sure what to do. my heart is breaking with every minute, and I'm blinking back tears. Lord, why not me??

Trying to make a + out of a -
Still no monthly "gift". I was getting excited, as today is Day 40 of my cycle. I am still pretty irregular, so I just keep counting and waiting. Couldn't help but dream of babies all night and take a test first thing. I'm starting to think I should buy stock...

Have you seen warnings that too little sleep will ruin your health? Sleep deprivation keeps the brain from functioning optimally (Slama et al, Sleep, Dec. 2017). It can also lead to insulin resistance and high blood pressure. This message can be frustrating, however, for those with chronic insomnia. Just how do you get the sleep you need? Could magnesium help you sleep? One reader expressed the desperation of many:
Seeking a Good Night's Sleep:
Q. Every time I read that sleep is essential for good health I want to scream. I would love a good night's sleep because I know it would boost my immune system and help me control my weight as well as improve my outlook and my memory. I worry that my chronic insomnia is making my allergies, high blood pressure and depression worse.
No matter what I try, though, nothing works. That includes sleeping pills, herbs and melatonin. Is there anything that can help me get a few hours of decent sleep?
Medicines That May Contribute to Insomnia:
A. If you take medications for hypertension, allergies or depression, it is possible that these drugs could be contributing to your insomnia. Many medications, including beta blockers like atenolol and metoprolol, can interfere with sleep quality. So can antidepressants such as fluoxetine and sertraline or decongestants like pseudoephedrine. Such drugs could be keeping you awake. Even an eyedrop like timolol might interfere with sleep.
We have a list of medications that cause insomnia in our Guide to Getting a Good Night's Sleep. This online resource offers suggestions such as foods that might help you feel drowsy and sleep routines (like a hot bath before bed) that can ease your way to slumber.
Will Magnesium Help You Sleep?
Some people tell us that 250 to 500 mg of magnesium at bedtime helps them. Others find relaxation tapes allow them to ease into sleep. You may also want to listen to our interviews with Dr. Lawrence Kline and Dr. Matthew Edlund about solving the sleep dilemma. The doctors discuss natural ways to get the sleep you need.
Could Magnesium Help You Sleep Too?
Q. My doctor recommended magnesium glycinate for the positive effects of sleeping better without much laxative effect. I believe that it is working for me: better sleep without diarrhea.
A. There is some data to support the use of magnesium supplements for insomnia (Abbasi et al, Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, Dec. 2012). As many as two-thirds of the people in North America and Europe may not be meeting their magnesium need through their diets (Schwalfenberg & Genuis, Scientifica, online Sep. 28, 2017). That might be in part because people are not eating much of the best dietary sources like green leafy vegetables, beans, nuts and whole grains.
Does Magnesium Have Downsides?
One of the most common complaints associated with this approach is the laxative effect of magnesium. We're glad the magnesium glycinate your physician recommended is working without causing this complication.
There is one other important caution. People with impaired kidney function should avoid magnesium supplements of all types. Their kidneys will not be capable of maintaining the appropriate balance.
Other Readers Report Their Experience:
A number of other readers have struggled with insomnia.
Joyce asked:
"What form of magnesium is best for insomnia? There are so many and I find it confusing. Thanks for your help."
We hope that she will find magnesium glycinate is helpful.
Gin suggested a recipe with several ingredients:
"Try this cocktail:
450mg valerian root
200 mcg selenium
400mg magnesium
3mg melatonin (though I prefer the 2.5mg sub-lingual-faster acting)
"I've been an insomniac since my open-heart, mitral valve repair in 2007. My son told me to try the above, since it worked for him. I am sleeping like a baby once again. Even when I wake @ 3-to-pee, I go right back to sleep…amazing!"
CF, on the other hand, has a very simple remedy:
"All that's needed is a double tea bag cup of chamomile tea…you'll be knocked out for the night. Works every time."
Both PJM and Luci P report that re-aligning the bed to the East-West axis instead of North-South made a difference for them. We have no idea why this worked for them, and we are pretty sure that there are no placebo-controlled trials of this approach. On the other hand, it is not likely to produce any side effects.
