The Dangerous Truth Behind Microwaves | Natural Society:


Robert O. Becker, author of The Body Electric, stated the following on page 314 in his book:
It’s [Microwave sickness] first signs are low blood pressure and slow pulse. The later and most common manifestations are chronic excitation of the sympathetic nervous system [stress syndrome] and high blood pressure.
This phase also often includes headache, dizziness, eye pain, sleeplessness, irritability, anxiety, stomach pain, nervous tension, inability to concentrate, hair loss, plus an increased incidence of appendicitis, cataracts, reproductive problems, and cancer. The chronic symptoms are eventually succeeded by crisis of adrenal exhaustion and ischemic heart disease [the blockage of coronary arteries and heart attacks].

Want to test your ability to discern colours? FM 100 Hue Test is a very hard way to check how good or bad you are (or how good or bad your screen is :p) arranging four strips of different colour hues correctly.

I must say I thought I'd get a perfect score (ZERO!) but I got a 12... The ones I did worse on were the bottom two so my advice is to not do the whole thing in a row because it's really hard on the eyes.

Good luck!

From the Facebook page of GreenMedInfo (like this page for interesting updates on published articles about natural substances related to medicine) I obtained the link to an article relating curcumin (in Portugal it is present in Açafrão) with positive results on AD (Alzheimer's Disease) published in 2006.

Embora diga roupa interior no Destak (será roubado da Deratus News?) e no site da Benetton também, após ter ido à loja posso dizer que é roupa casual/básica se usada de forma correcta. 
Faz parte da colecção Undercolours e é daquele tipo de roupa bom para usar em casa, por baixo de uma camisola ou casaco (o chamado layering - vestir roupa às camadas), fazer exercício e usar leggins como calças para fazer figura de parva. Também é perfeito para pijama super confortável.

Desde dos tempos em que a Oysho passou a ter roupa de carácter duvidoso (é uma t-shirt? é pijama? Vi no CC usarem como t-shirt...) que esta dúvida surge a muitas pessoas e acho que é uma separação que depende do estilo de cada um. 

Os preços são acessíveis por exemplo com tops de alças a 12,95€. O tecido é muito elástico e muito confortável e suave ao toque. Uma boa compra para quem precisa de peças para ir ao ginásio, fazer jogging ou quem gosta de usar roupa às camadas.

I have survived!

A long day and a stressfull one at that! But perseverance pays off.

Managed to do all the things I set out to do and through shear positive thinking all will work out as planned over the weekend as well.

Hope everyone else made it through the wilderness, yeah hope you made it through-uh-who!

Através de uns passatempos (obrigada Carlos) descobri uns blogs interessantes com passatempos e não só. Descrições de produtos, cosméticos, moda, etc. Sendo que isto é algo que me interessa muito e até gostaria eu própria de fazer qualquer dia algo semelhante (como prometido), achei por bem partilhar estes recentes descobrimentos.




Foi no cuscaki que descobri este site para remodelar paredes e superfícies entre outras coisas.

From now on I'm going to try to post vanity items I find very good or very disappointing! Such as shampoo, make-up, lotions, accessories... etc.
I will also post the price I find (€-Portugal).

Hope it becomes useful to someone someday somewhere. They will be grouped under the label vanity

"Banks. They made mistakes and now they say we have to pay. But I disagree, I don't want to pay," she says. "I prefer to leave everything behind - family, friends, my culture - everything than to pay for a crisis I didn't cause."

What I learn watching The Biggest Loser / Peso Pesado (Portuguese version stupidly called Heavy Weight) - well not from the show itself but from the commercials - is:
(1) XLS pills to go from a size XL to a size S;
(2) Bio Active Slim Duo to lose weight while you sleep;
(3) Depuralina anti-cellulite to lose 30% fat, -4.5cm and get rid of the trash your body accumulates;
(4) Alli to help you lose 1kg for every 2kg you lose for yourself;
(5) Antistax for healthy legs, pain free and stronger blood vessels.

I wonder what the hell they do so much exercise for... In fact why do we bother dieting/exercising at all?

First I get up at 7:40 am as usual.
I get ready. I wash my hair, put on make up and get dressed. I pack a snack.

I leave the house a little bit too late and work up a fast pace to catch my train. I realize I don't know where my transportation pass is even though I was certain I had put it in my back pocket as usual. So I head back thinking I dropped it in the elevator upon placing it in said pocket. As I reach the road I see it run over but a bus in the middle of the zebra crossing (yes I know... I'm such an upstanding citizen!).

I'm back on track to the train station hoping I don't miss my train. Almost in line of sight with it I see a lot of cars and heavy traffic thinking "People sure worry about a little bit of rain and would rather drive then get wet walking. Lucky me, I'll find a seat today!"

AND THEN... I reach a very very full station!
*fuck*
 I run down and get a newspaper.
*fuck*
TRAIN STRIKE TODAY ALL DAY
*FUCK!  FUCK! FUCK!*

It takes me about a minute to decide to go back home... Even if a train shows I'll never fit in it. I warned almost everyone who passed me that there was a strike so no need to be hasty (cashing in on some Karma while I'm at it).

And then I decide I should make some arrangements at school. Give some warning.
*message not sent*
Ahh... I need to put money on my phone.
I get home, and install all sorts of crap on my pc (format c: just yesterday).
Then I log onto the bank's website...
*We are running maintenance and are disinclined to acquiesce to your request* (I saw Pirates of the Caribbean yesterday... :p)

So e-mail it is.
Now I got an empty pc, a long day, maybe no Office to get some work done and a very very bad mood.

This is a post dedicated to my friend

My friend has many names... I have three names for him. I know his real name, I know his fake name and I often address him by a nickname. His name is Håvard, his name is Skorpys, his name is Pervie. Now you can call him Håvard or Skorpys but only I get to call him Pervie.

My friend lives in Norway (that part of Europe that resembles a flaccid... Well look it up on google if you don't know or just check out this video "This is Norway").

My friend plays with me. Yes I couldn't make it sound any worse by phrasing it like that. We play World of Warcraft for many years now. In fact we pretend to play because we don't really have the time to show up on online anymore but have chosen to keep in touch.

My friend is my friend because even though we only know each other online we can call each other friend.

This is my way to tell the world I have this friend and this friend is special to me. I know he doesn't need a thank you but I'll give him one anyway because that is what friends are for.

Thank you for being my friend.
