Live in your vacation Dream

     Your vacation dreams are always 100% stress free.  Imagine being sleep while you are awake.

     Stress affects everyone at any given time, when you are at work, at home, at the gym, etc. Stress can become a serious ailment.  When in excessive amounts, stress can lead to physical ailments such as ulcers or mental impairment such as depression. To avoid developing such conditions it is important to effectively manage stress. Managing stress begins with defining the cause of your stress. Personal situations can cause stress, but the environment can also be a main cause of stress.   Where are you living?  Where are you sleeping?  Where is your neighborhood?

     When you are totally relaxed and in a deep sleep pay attention to your body, and your frame of mind.  Listen and learn from your dreams.  Set some relaxing goals, and don’t be afraid to day dream, sometimes.  When you have a really great dream try to remember it by writing it down after you wake up.  Look at the surroundings involved.  Was the dream in a house? 

Dreams relating to a house often refers to various aspects of the Self. When trying to analyze the house in your dream, consider also how the house is kept and the condition of it. The rooms in the house relate to facets of your personality

     Was the dream in Las Vegas?  Well, for $7.9 million you could own a home just off the Vegas strip with a fully equipped, customized casino where the house never wins.   Is that a fabulous dream, or what?  Some retired old guy, already living his dream,  says that the worst thing about living in a Las Vegas hotel penthouse  is a bad day in the casino.  His own private casino.

 

                        

     Living in a sugar coated candy cloud can happen to you.  Take these inspiring words for example:

 

     Right now is a miracle. Right now is the only moment guaranteed to us. Right now is life. So let us stop thinking about how great things will be in the future. Stop dwelling on what did or didn't happen in the past. Learn to be in the here and now and experience life as its happening. Appreciate the world for the beauty that it holds, right now. Lets start noticing and living in the present !! 

 Glen Rambharack quotes 

 

     Just get you a nice two room tent and go back to the hunting and gathering days.  Is that your dream?  At $20,000 for a little plot in rural New York, what would you like to put on it?  If you are looking for a great hunting spot just remember we are all neighbors with somebody, the deer, turkey, fox and rabbits all live there too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     Americans are finding it more difficult to relax, especially with economy changes and fewer employees.  Fewer employees means more work, individually. Advances in technology have helped in many ways but it has also made it easier for our employer, clients and co-workers to reach us.  Whisk yourself away, permanently.  Build that at-home office you have been dreaming of.

      Live in your vacation dream.

The EDUCATION box

So, are you going to college?

In 2013, you might as well look at continued education as minimum requirements for any job. 

               

Consulting firm Accenture conducted a survey by speaking with 1,005 students who graduated from college in 2011 and 2012.  The survey, out Tuesday, found that 41% of college graduates from the last two years are stuck in jobs that don't require a degree (New York, CNN Money, Isidore May 1, 2013)

 

You have done the math already.  All of the students working jobs with a no degree requirement are moving the bar up a notch.  Take into consideration that employers find that the person with the degree might be overqualified, but demonstrates a higher degree of work performance.  Thus, you do need a degree to have that position.

When an applicant reaches the EDUCATION box on a job application, it should be full, and diverse.  One four year degree, a few certificates, and a master’s degree show great diversity and better qualifications.  Graduates get their hopes up without an understanding of the economy out of the textbook.  There is a lack of job options.  The typical graduate will feel that if a different major had been taken there would not be an unemployment problem. 

 

“Nearly two-thirds of those surveyed said they would need additional training in order to start their chosen career, with 42% saying they expect to go to graduate school (New York, CNN Money, Isidore May 1, 2013).”

 “Most jobs attract a large number of applicants, and those who have graduated from college are more attractive to employers, because they have taken an additional step toward gaining knowledge, skills and training (http://www.happynews.com/living/college/college-required-jobs.htm).”

 

When you get the question, “So, are you going to college?”  This question should follow with a quick, proud, self-assured, “Yes, indeed.  You want to see what my application will look like?”

Those that have gone to college are always pleased to answer that question. In the EDUCATION box, there isn’t enough lines.

FLUOXETINE

Fluoxetine (NO6ABO3) is an antidepressant.

Fluoxetine's mechanism of action is predominantly that of a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.  Fluoxetine delays the reuptake of serotonin, resulting in serotonin persisting longer when it is released. 

Basically, fluoxetine, controls emotion and behavior.  “Serotonin and norepinephrine are synaptic messengers in the limbic regions of the brain involved in pleasure and motivation, suggesting that the pervasive sadness and lack of interest (no motivation) in depressed patients are related at least part to deficiencies or decreased effectiveness of these neurotransmitters.  (Human Physiology, from cells to systems, Sherwood 2010)  

Serotonin is involved in the biosynthesis of physiologically active amines. “Epinephrine (adrenalin), noreepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine), gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and histamine are hormones and or neurotransmitters derived from amino acids.  (FUNDAMENTALS OF BIOCHEMISTRY, Voet 2/E, 2006, Wiley) “

Serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs) are believed to increase the extracellularlevel of the neurotransmitter serotoning by inhibiting its absorption into the presynaptic cell, increasing serotonin availability in the synaptic cleft available to bind to the postsynaptic receptor.

A popular fluoxeting pill is Prozac which has been made popular throughout the media by being placed in sitcoms like ALLY MCBEAL.  In Season 3 the character played by Calista Flockheart) is convinced by her psychiatrist Dr. Shirley Flott, played by Betty White, to take the medication. Flott opines the wondrous benefits of Prozac to almost eucharistic proportions explaining to Ally that she "won't find happiness through love or God: it comes in a pill." Flott also asserts that she herself takes Prozac in suppository form. Ally is initially persuaded to take Prozac in order to combat her hallucinations, and she is later dissuaded by a friend and coworker.  She ultimately ends up disposing of the pills by flushing them down a toilet.

Also, in the classic HBO series THE SOPRANOS, mobster Tony Soprano played by James Gandofini is prone to panic attacks. His psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Melfi, played by Lorraine Bracco, prescribes Prozac as a result.

Despite the availability of newer agents, fluoxetine remains extremely popular. In 2010, over 24.4 million prescriptions for generic formulations of fluoxetine were filled in the United States alone, making it the third most prescribed antidepressant after sertraline (SSRI; became generic in 2006) and citalopram (SSRI; became generic in 2003).  In 2011, 6 million prescriptions for fluoxetine were handed out in the UK.

Fluoxetine isn’t a great drug.  Just like any drug, you need to intelligently assess whether the potential side effects outweigh the initial problem.  Antidepressants cause an individual to get fat, stay sleepy, and have a feeling of being overly unconcerned.  The big problems with fluoxetine is that the patient is still sad, not happy, weight gain, unmotivated for sex, sleep deprivation, afraid of the meds, and sometimes suicidal thoughts are still present.

Nice Tattoo?!

     Spring Break is on its way, again.  Awesome!

     Enjoy it responsibly.

     There is a list of the greatest things to accomplish on Spring Break, and getting a tattoo is one of them.  Increasingly, skin art has become a global trend.  There are parlors everywhere. You can even find places with a buy one tattoo get one on your girlfriend for free.  After throwing back a few, or just getting caught up in the DUBSTEP-like atmosphere of Spring Break, your judgment will lighten up.  When it is tattoo show time you could end up getting the ultra-sarcastic, “nice tattoo.”

     Don’t get a tattoo.  Personally, women are already works of art, so don’t damage the goods.  Guys should stay as clean cut as possible.  Have you seen an ironically, tatted-up police officer, with full sleeves, neck, and facial tags?  No comment, huh?

     Among other reasons, here is a great reason not to get a tattoo during SPRING BREAK 2013:

   “Allergic reaction to the tattoo pigments is one of the most common problems associated with tattooing. Infections also can pose a serious threat to health. Along with localized bacterial infections, there have been reports of people being infected with syphilis and hepatitis B and C due to non-sterile tattooing practices.” Dr. Michi Shinohara, a clinical assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Washington in Seattle (American Academy of Dermatology, FRIDAY, March 1 HealthDay News).

     Why not get a tattoo?

                                Skin cancer

                                Moles

                                Staphyloccocus aureus

        Squamos cell carcinoma

S. aureus infection resulting from ink pigment of the tattoo.

“…choose a design that you can enjoy for hopefully the rest of your life. Tattoo removal is costly and painful, so try to avoid any inking on spring break that you will later regret. (http://ezinearticles.com/?Spring-Break-Tattoos&id=1036165) (Tracy Falbe, publisher of Destination Tattoo)

     Recommendations:

• Only go to a professional tattoo parlor and to an artist who has been licensed under state requirements.

•Visit a dermatologist.

•Patients with a chronic skin condition such as psoriasis, eczema or a tendency toward keloid scarring should check with a dermatologist before getting a tattoo.

•Never get a tattoo over a mole.

     Yes, there is a list of the greatest things to accomplish on Spring Break, and you know getting a tattoo is one of them.  Make a smart decision, and have an awesome Spring Break.

FISCAL CLIFF jumping.

The media has built up the huge cliff for us all to jump off of just after a new year celebration full of calamity.

The government, on the other hand has been working hard to put an elevator on that cliff, so we wouldn’t have to jump.  The elevator was composed that weekend by Vice President Joe Biden and Senate Mitch McConnel.

The cliff was originally constructed by the preceding Bush administration through a variety of tax changes. 

Where we stand, now:

The Bush-era income tax rates will be permanently extended for all income up to $400,000, and $450,000 if you are married. Bush tax cuts that apply to income above those levels will expire.  The compromise bill, from Biden and McConnel, would also preserve the expanded parameters for the American Opportunity Tax Credit, the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit for 5 more years.

The income exemption levels for the Alternative Minimum Tax for inflation have been permanently adjusted.  The Biden-McConnell compromise will reinstate limitations on how much those making $250,000, and married couples making $300,000, may take in itemized deductions and personal exemptions. The bill will extend ,two more years,  several tax breaks for businesses, including a production tax credit for developers of wind projects, the research and development tax credit, and a measure allowing for bonus depreciation. The compromise bill will extend for one or two years a few "temporary" tax breaks for individuals that regularly are extended. These include an option to deduct state and local sales taxes in place of state and local income taxes; and a deduction for elementary and secondary school teachers for certain expenses. The legislation will preserve the current estate tax exemption level of $5.12 million but index it to inflation for future years. And it will raise the top rate to 40% from 35% currently. The bill will continue a federal extension of unemployment benefits for one year. The Biden-McConnell compromise will prevent a scheduled 27% cut in reimbursement for Medicare services for one year. The so-called "doc fix" will boost the deficit by $31 billion.

The new deficit is a different story.  Put on your thinking caps, U.S. government.
