The Benefits And Drawbacks Of An Over Active Creative Mind You’re a creative person. We all are. That’s one of the reasons we are designers. But, how many of us have heard from someone that we have an over active mind and we come up with too many ideas? An over active mind can be both positive and negative. In today’s article we’ll explore both sides. As a creative community, we want to believe that there are positive aspects of the creative minds we have but rarely do we look at the downside of it (or maybe we’re just too busy thinking of creative ideas that we don’t notice the down side?). At the end of the article, feel free to weigh in with your opinions in the comments – I’d love to hear what others think. Benefits of an over active creative mind You have an endless stream of ideas and projects It’s true – if you’ve got an over active mind like myself and Jon both have, you’re sure to know what we mean by 1,000,000′s of ideas in the pipeline.

Not Losing Weight in Stomach, Thighs, Face? Evan is a male aged 20, 5′ 6″. He went from 180lbs to 140lbs. The first 33 were from dietary changes alone, the last 6.5lbs he introduced cardio (he got a stationary bike). What he can’t understand is how he’s lost all this weight but “my stomach still looks terrible!” Relax. Do you aspire to a certain body shape? I guess we all do. We can’t change our bone structure, and the way our body burns fat in specific areas is also something that is unique to us. Where Does Fat Disappear First? Do you find when you lose fat it disappears from the places you want to stay big? Maybe it stubbornly holds on to the places you really want to slim down. Some of the books tried to sell us “spot reduction”. There Are 2 Kinds of Fat We have adipose tissue all over the body. This tissue is made of adipocytes (fat cells) whose sole job is to store energy in the form of fat. There are generally two types of fat storage: visceral (surrounding organs).subcutaneous (beneath the skin – about 80% of all body fat (src)).
GQ Jason LaVeris Before he sold the franchise to Disney, George Lucas had a totally different plan for the galaxy far, far away. Five years ago this week, a Star Wars movie arrived in theaters across the country. No one cared. Of course, it didn’t help that this Star Wars movie—Episode I: The Phantom Menace—was one that fans had already seen, and largely rejected, a little more than decade earlier. George Lucas didn’t care. But those 1997 Special Edition rereleases also marked the key schism in the Star Wars universe: the moment when Star Wars’ most devoted fans began to openly rail against the man who created it. Lucas had done dumb shit with the Star Wars franchise before—the Holiday Special, Caravan of Courage, and those Droids and Ewoks cartoons, to name a few—but the missteps had always been easy to ignore. This is the behavior of an auteur—a filmmaker whose personal vision is so all-encompassing that he is unmistakably the author of the movie (or in this case, the six-movie saga).
Binaural beats Binaural beats To experience the binaural beats perception, it is best to listen to this file with headphones on moderate to weak volume – the sound should be easily heard, but not loud. Note that the sound appears to pulsate. Now remove one earphone. Note that the pulsations disappear completely. The brain produces a phenomenon resulting in low-frequency pulsations in the amplitude and sound localization of a perceived sound when two tones at slightly different frequencies are presented separately, one to each of a subject's ears, using stereo headphones. Binaural beats reportedly influence the brain in more subtle ways through the entrainment of brainwaves[3][8][9] and provide other health benefits such as control over pain.[10][11] Acoustical background[edit] Interaural time differences (ITD) of binaural beats For sound localization, the human auditory system analyses interaural time differences between both ears inside small frequency ranges, called critical bands. History[edit]
How to Slim Down Thighs | Fat Thighs or Muscular Thighs? Before you set about losing weight from thighs first understand the factors that influence the size of your thighs. This will allow you to choose the right thigh exercises, tailored to your needs, goals and body type. Women and men have so-called sex-specific fat deposits. Sex hormones affect fat distribution. Your body shape will have significant bearing on the size of your thighs. Your thighs may simply be large because you have a lot of fat in this area - fatty thighs. The best thigh exercises for you are the ones that don’t simply firm and tone, but strip fat from thighs, to make big thighs smaller (see how to lose fat from thighs). Another reason for large thighs is that you may naturally have large thigh muscles. It may be the case that you don’t have a genetic tendency to have big thigh muscles, but that you have a natural tendency to gain a lot of muscle in your thighs with exercise. Take the slim thigh test to determine whether you have fatty thighs or big thigh muscles.
Lotus Flower Meaning and Symbolisms handwriting tips - StumbleUpon You’ve decided you want to improve your handwriting and you’re probably hoping a fountain pen will do the trick -- maybe a friend told you it would. Maybe you’re just adventurous and you want to try your hand at calligraphy (or you might, once your handwriting improves). Good for you! A fountain pen may make your writing look a bit better, but if your writing looks as if frenzied chickens got loose on the page, chances are this won’t be enough. Most likely, you’ll need to retrain your arm and hand. After coaching handwriting and teaching calligraphy over the years, I’ve learned to see the characteristics of those who’ll be able to pick up the necessary motions quickly from those who’ll have to work a bit harder. Crampy, uneven letters are often the result of drawing the letters with the fingers rather than using the whole arm to write. People who inevitably have trouble with handwriting and calligraphy write with their fingers. It will take time to re-train muscles and learn new habits.

Man dies in Nelsons Plains crash The victim is yet to be formally identified by police. A man has died after his utility ran off the road and struck a power pole at Nelsons Plains in the early hours of Sunday morning. Emergency services arrived at Seaham Road near the Noongah Road intersection to find the driver of the vehicle deceased at the scene. It took several hours to release his body from the car and isolate the cracked power pole. Ausgrid crews were still working to restore power to nearby homes at lunch time on Sunday. A Seaham Road resident told Fairfax Media he and his wife were awoken by “a hell of noise” just before 2.30am. The resident, who asked not to be named, said other nearby residents also heard the crash and called triple zero. He said the side of the ute had been severely damaged in the accident. “It’s just a tragedy,” he said. A report will be prepared for the coroner but investigators were still working to formally identify the man on Sunday.
