So You think You Can Dance?

Subject to society's politics and whimsy, the popularity of certain dances have waxed and waned over the decades, so that certain dances have been discarded altogether or merely altered to fit shifting social tastes.

A ball or impromptu party might feature any combination of different dances, depending on what was most popular at the time. Though the dance trends varied through the years and among class lines, one thing was certain: where there was dancing, joyfulness followed.

Storm Chasers

Storm chasing is broadly defined as the pursuit of any severe weather condition, regardless of motive, which can be curiosity, adventure, scientific exploration or for news / media coverage.

A person who chases storms is known as a storm chaser, or simply a chaser.

While witnessing a tornado is the single biggest objective for most chasers, many chase thunderstorms and delight in seeing cumulonimbus structure, watching a barrage of hail and lightning, and seeing what skyscapes unfold. There are also a smaller number of storm chasers who chase hurricanes.

Across the country, teens and young adults enjoy all-night dance parties known as "raves" or "rave clubs" and increasingly encounter more than just hard pounding techno-music and flashing laser lights. Dangerous substances known collectively as club drugs are frequently used and distributed here.

Rave clubs are often promoted through flyers and advertisements distributed at other rave clubs, in record shops, clothing stores, on college campuses, and over the Internet.

A drug with immense abuse potential, methamphetamine (known on the street as "speed," "meth," "crank," "crystal-meth," and "glass") is a central nervous system stimulant of the amphetamine family. Like cocaine, it is a powerful "upper" that produces alertness, and elation, along with a variety of adverse reactions. The effects of methamphetamine, however, are much longer lasting then the effects of cocaine, yet the cost is much the same. For that reason, methamphetamine is sometimes called the "poor man's cocaine."

No big cat can be tamed or trained to be a safe, trustworthy actor or companion," notes The HSUS's ( The Humane Society
of the United States ) Farinato. "No matter how long you've had the animal, or how well he's behaved in the past, every moment spent in direct contact with a lion or tiger brings with it the risk of injury or death for the human handler or owner.

I've been away for a week to Cleethorpes. Not far from where I live, but far enough for it to feel like a real holiday break away.

Caravan seaside holidays can really sometimes be the best. Especially when coupled with sunshine.

So now onto my new physio ideas:

Happy Earth Day to All. Just A Little Humor for everyone.

Tony-winning actress Natasha Richardson died of a brain injury after falling on a ski slope.

The cause of death was epidural hematoma (bleeding between the skull and the brain's covering).

As a school nurse, I am finding many of the children that bump their heads and their parent's have a hightened fear of a closed head trauma after reading Natasha's story.

I'm feeling a bit down and out now,
after spending days and days in pain. I've had my first sign of chest infection today-well the first sign that can't be linked to anything else, because I've been feeling dead on my feet and tired out for weeks now. That had been put down to depression.

Today, I took my first notice of sputum colour. I've kinda of being ignoring it and just not looking for the last week whenever I've coughed, as last week was yellow and I didn't wanna keep seeing that. Todays was green, very green-definately not yellow no more.

Progress is being made to remove the stigma of mental illness and mental health disorders.

You've probably heard the hurtful words before — words like "psycho" and "schizo." Or you've seen the jokes about mental health on television referring to "loony bins" and characters in straitjackets.

Today let us look at the treatments and drugs used for this disorder.

The two main treatments for generalized anxiety disorder are medications and psychotherapy, either alone or in combination. It may take some trial and error to discover which treatment works best for you and which you are most comfortable with. Your health insurance coverage also may be a factor.

Medications
Several different types of medications are used to relieve generalized anxiety disorder symptoms:

To help diagnose generalized anxiety disorder, mental health providers perform a thorough psychological evaluation. They ask many questions about your worries, fears and emotional well-being. They may also ask about any obsessions, to make sure that you don't have obsessive-compulsive disorder. You may also fill out psychological questionnaires. And you may have a physical exam to check for any other health problems that may be causing generalized anxiety disorder symptoms.

It's normal to feel anxious or worried at times. Everyone does. In fact, a moderate amount of anxiety can be good. Anxiety helps you respond appropriately to real danger, and it can help motivate you to excel at work and at home.

But if you often feel very anxious without reason and your worries disrupt your daily life, you may have generalized anxiety disorder. Generalized anxiety disorder causes excessive or unrealistic anxiety and worry — well beyond what's appropriate for a situation.
