Sleepy Sick
Sick? Get more sleep…
People who sleep less than seven hours a night appear to be almost three times as likely to catch a cold as those who sleep eight hours or more, a new study has found.
Quality of sleep may count even more than quantity. Those who spend as little as 25 minutes a night tossing and turning face more than five times the risk of sniffing and sneezing.

Homeownership Skills
I’m not sure if its only 47 skills.. but it sure seems like you need a lot of them… 🙂
Too bad a house doesn’t come with an owner’s manual. And a week-long seminar where you learn what every button, switch, and wire is for. Alas, the keys to the castle come with no troubleshooting guide to dog-ear—and, we’re betting, no wise master to unlock the mysteries of the place you call home.

About LED Lighting
This is a pretty good article explaining LED lighting and the science behind it…
It seems like they’re already everywhere – if you look down at your keyboard, one is providing the little green indicator for your Num Lock key, while another may be frantically blinking to inform you of your waiting voice mail. On your next drive, chances are you will stop at a stoplight lit purely by LED’s and perhaps may notice a blinker made up of small, bright lights instead of one bulb. LED’s certainly are everywhere, faithfully providing indications of all kinds. But, with a few exceptions, the primary purpose of an LED is to indicate rather than illuminate, despite the fact that LED’s do nothing useful besides produce light. A few new developments, however, may bring solid-state lighting into our homes very soon.
