Anxiety is a word we use to describe feelings of unease, worry and fear. It incorporates both the emotions and the physical sensations we might experience when we are worried or nervous about something. Although we usually find it unpleasant, anxiety is related to the ‘fight or flight’ response – our normal biological reaction to feeling threatened. |
In situations like these it’s understandable to have worries about how you will perform, or what the outcome will be. For a short time you might even find it hard to sleep, eat or concentrate. Then usually, after a short while or when the situation has passed, the feelings of worry stop. |
Then when you feel the danger has passed, your body releases other hormones to help your muscles relax, which may cause you to shake. |
This is commonly called the ‘fight or flight’ response – it’s something that happens automatically in our bodies, and we have no control over it. In modern society we don’t usually face situations where we need to physically fight or flee from danger, but our biological response to feeling threatened is still the same. |
Because anxiety is a normal human experience, it’s sometimes hard to know when it’s becoming a problem for you – but if your feelings of anxiety are very strong, or last for a long time, it can be overwhelming. |
You might find that you’re worrying all the time, perhaps about things that are a regular part of everyday life, or about things that aren’t likely to happen – or even worrying about worrying. |
You might regularly experience unpleasant physical and psychological effects of anxiety, and maybe panic attacks. |
Depending on the kind of problems you experience, you might be given a diagnosis of a specific anxiety disorder. |

Homeygad I haven't blogged for over a month! Momma was away again and you know I can't actually use the keyboard, so I was just pretty much hanging out with Qish all the time. She even brought the iPad with her, so I didn't have access to the interwebz and my favorite fishing game! Anyway, here are bits of stuff on what happened while we were not blogging. |
Momma started a cat feeding program for the homeless kitties under Magallanes Interchange flyover. Right now she feeds 6 cats at night before going home. Her next project is to have them spayed so they stay a small family. |
I won in Nestlé Purina's contest last Halloween, and look what I got! I am planning to give this to my homeless brothers and sisters pictured above. |

Why is Bone Broth so good? Bone broth has been made for hundreds of years by our grandparents and their grandparents. It's rich in minerals and high in protein containing amino acids which can assist with the reduction of inflammation, help to strengthen bones, joints and muscle tissue, and healing compounds such as collagen to help heal the lining of the gut, support digestive health, boost metabolism and make broth from scratch. Our Beef Bone Broth powder is ready in seconds, as tasty and nutritious as homemade and easy to take on the go! |
How is it made? Beef bones are added to filtered water and apple cider vinegar – to assist in the extraction of the minerals and boiled down to form a broth. Himalayan salt is added for the final stage of the broth, for flavour and nutrition. The broth is then strained for impurities and as it cools the fat is skimmed off the top. The broth goes through a gentle refractatant drying process taking care to preserve the rich nutritional profile. |
Ingredients: Grass Fed Beef Bone Broth Powder* (Beef Bones*, Filtered Water, Apple Cider Vinegar*, Himalayan Salt) Deactivated Nutritional Yeast Flakes. |

The circadian system has a regulatory role in almost all aspects of a plant's life. In Arabidopsis thaliana, almost 36% of the genome has been shown to be circadianly regulated and many genes that are circadianly regulated have been shown to be light responsive or involved in light responses. Rhythmic histone acetylation has been demonstrated in the promoter of TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION1 (TOC1). Here, I used semi-quantitative Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (semi-quantitative RT -PCR) to investigate which enzymes are involved in the rhythmic expression of TOC1. I also determined whether loss-of-function histone acetylation and methylation mutants could affect the overall functioning of the circadian oscillator by measuring their circadian leaf movement and delayed fluorescence (DF) rhythms. GCN5/ HAG1 mutant plants (gcn5) exhibited erratic TOC1 expression in both constant dark (DD) and constant light (LL) conditions. Although TOC1 expression appeared to be rhythmic in both DD and LL conditions, the waveform of the rhythm was altered in TATA-binding protein associated factor 1 (taf1) mutants. This suggested that TAF1 and GCN5 might play different roles in the rhythmic histone acetylation affecting TOC1 expression. DF data and leaf movement data indicated that both TAF1 and GCN5 might play a role in the overall functioning of the A. thaliana circadian clock. Arrhythmic TOC1 expression and DF was observed in histone deacetylase 1 (hd1) mutants, suggesting that HD1 is not only involved in the rhythmic histone deacetylation affecting TOC1 expression but in the overall functioning of the circadian clock. Semi-quantitative RTPCR, DF and leaf movement studies demonstrated that CURLY LEAF (CLF), a histone methylase is involved in both the histone methylation affecting TOC1 expression and in the overall functioning of the A. thaliana circadian clock. |

Discussion in 'Deck Help and Strategy' started by KingGengar, Nov 5, 2007. |
Why drive a TRUK when you can saunter in with a pachyderm? |
You can also say this is "Riding the Dragon" but don't read too much into that. |
STRATEGY: Set up the elephant as soon as possible for the disruptive 40+Rapid Spin. This causes chaos for Blissey, but also Electrode, Electivire, and Raichu, since Donphan is resistant to Lightning. This Resistance to Lightning also covers Gyarados' Weakness. |
Once set up, you can use Donphan's 100hp, Phanpy's Rage, and Memory Berry to good effect. This goes well with Gyarados, which does the same thing, only without the Berry. You run 3 Windstorm to help Gyarados, but Memory Berry can work for the Dragon also. |
Switch and Warp Point are both in line with Donphan's disorientation, and Gyarados' huge retreat cost. The single SSU can be used to scoop up that hurting Gyarados, but you might just as easily add another Night Maintenance. |
The different Energies won't matter if using only Rage attacks, or Donphan mostly, but it'll be good to have Water in case you try to build Gyarados, or use Dragon Rage. Scramble will probably be necessary since damage is a big part of the plan. In fact, it may be preferable to have 4 Scramble. I'm not sure yet. |
The big risk is the Magikarp, but there are 9 ways to get a 2nd Pokemon on T2, not including 7 more Draw/Rotate. |
Donphan I understand ... Gyarados going with him, not so much. Seriously what does Gyarados add to this besides complecating your energy, making you power dependant, and giving you terrible starts? |
Edit: Sorry for the negative sounding tone. Came out a lot worse than intended. What do you do if damage doesn't get spread for rage? |
There isn't much synergy between the cards, and what makes Donphan almost playable is that it uses Rapid Spin and avoids damage. The idea of trying to use Memory Berry and Flail doesn't make much sense with its attack. I can't see you having a T2 Donphan as consistently as you should as opposed to if you included some Quick Ball in the list. |
i like plaing it with gyarados becuase after rapid spin you bring up gyarados to take the hit then use flail. |
First, you gotta understand how much I love Gyarados as a Pokemon, and want to play the MT version "just because." That said, it's such a fragile situation, with Magikarp being, self-admittedly, the weakest Pokemon; with Gyarados dependant on Poke-Powers; with its far-fetched attacks. |
Second, since Gyarados is weak to Lightning, Donphan is one of the few choices which makes sense for Gyarados as a partner, being resistant to Lightning, and being Fighting type, which is Lightning's main problem. Master of Puppets hits the nail on the head - Rapid Spin, Gyarados comes up, gets damaged, hits for big damage. |
Right, so I see what you're saying, that you don't think Donphan will be able to use the Memory Berry consistently. I see where it would make sense to play Buffer instead to help the fragile Magikarp from being KO'd early. |
What do they add to each other? Besides the similar Rage attacks, and the Weakness coverage, not a whole lot. Gyarados can use *any* energy for Magikarp's attack, however, so Fighting doesn't bother it too much. |
I'll have to test it more and see what happens. |
I don't have much to comment but I just can't bare to play with a 30 hp pokemon. |
It really is too bad that the Carp doesn't have Fighting Resistance -10, since Gyrados has -20. That would at least force the use of a Plus Power or something for the first turn Riolu KO. |
T2 Donphan is a good idea because? You hit for 40 and send both basics back to the bench. Unless you team it up with like something that can free retreat or attack for 1 energy, you won't be doing much next turn because Donphan is on the bench. |
You run 3 Windstorm to help Gyarados, but Memory Berry can work for the Dragon also. |
Never mind that... how about Leek Slap FTW! |
KingGengar.. nice idea... look at this card for your target at Rapid spin.. you don't switch and if they have CC on an Active and not a Bench, the Body Kicks in after the CC is benched and before you switch. |
But really, you would start with Magikarp 1 in every 8 games, which is pretty meh. |
Yeah, the new cards are really cool. That Wormadam is interesting, and so are its mechanics. |
I still don't get the idea behind the deck. If you Rapid Spin back to the bench T2, how do you do anything of any good damage on T3 with your only powered Pokemon on the bench? |
It helps with what Prime is talking about... you can use the Burmy to get back the F nrg from Mentor/TVR evo up to Wormadam and then Target the Worm with the Spin! You dont switch but your opponent does so you can stack damage on their bench and stack nrg on the Worm then Memory Berry the Phan for Flail.... then bring out the Dma and drop a scramble and go to town while building another Phan! A lot of phun and irritating!! Just what I like! |
I can't say I really LIKE the idea of this deck, but it definitely is an interesting take on Donphan. I don't like the idea of Gyarados simply because you're relying on your opponent to damage it for you to do any damage, and with a nasty retreat cost, the only real way to get it back to the bench is with a trainer card... only to bring it back up with another Rapid Spin. Is that a little counter-intuitive or is it just me? |
Would that really work? I think someone might want to ask that in Ask the Masters. |
BLACK MAMBA: Yeah, I suppose it is counter-intuitive. But I'm looking at it this way: if opponent snipes my Donphan, I can use the Memory Berry (if the damage is better than the attack), and if opponent hits Gyarados, I can dish out mega-damage for one energy. |
It's possible you could pair Donphan with Sharpedo. Then, if opponent hits Donphan, piles up for Memory Berry, or if opponent hits Sharpedo, Rough Skin. Then, free retreat, do it again. Not super-powerful, but super-annoying. |
MECHES: Neat idea about the Wormadan! |
Maybe run fossils with the deck, so you can just discard them if they aren't KO'd? Eh, I don't know. |
So, you have decided to take a vacation to Universal Orlando Resort!! Congratulations! Now, where are you going to stay? The following is an overview of my personal opinion and experiences with the Universal onsite resorts. |
Universal Orlando (USO) separates their resorts in the categories of Prime Value, Preferred, and Premier. |
Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort was Universal’s first step into the Prime Value category. With 2200 guest rooms, this is the largest resort onsite. Offering standard guest rooms, family suites, and two-bedroom suites, this resort can accommodate up to eight guests per room. With the theming of a 1950’s/1960’s beach resort, there is an abundance of fun, colorful activities. The resort offers two pools (one with a waterslide and the other with a lazy river), fitness center, bowling alley, arcade, and a few play areas for children. Cabana Bay offers dining in a food court, poolside lounges, table service in the bowling alley, and a Starbucks. We have stayed in both a standard room and a family suite. I love the suite layout as the bathroom makes it so easy for multiple people to get ready for the day. The resort offers a fire pit in the evening for guests, and who doesn’t love a good s’more? You can purchase s’more kits in the food court. The shower is located in a separate area than the toilet for ease of access. The resort has a great layout with easy access to the main building from all rooms. The amenities are more accustomed to a four-star resort, so this resort offers great bang for your buck! Parking is outdoors and will cost $12 per night. If your room is in the newer towers, you can park in the small parking garage to access your room much easier for the same cost. I travel often with my husband and 14-year-old daughter, so I also feed off of their experiences. While we have enjoyed our stays at Cabana Bay, we find there to be a little too much ‘activity’ at this resort for our taste. We prefer a slower, more relaxed pace when we return to our resort at the end of the day from the theme parks. |
USO will be opening another Prime Value resort named Universal’s Aventura Hotel in August 2018. Like Cabana Bay, there will not be Universal Express passes included with your stay here. The hotel will feature a rooftop bar that promises amazing views of both the Universal theme parks and the Orlando area. This hotel will also feature a food court, multiple pools, Starbucks, and fitness center. I look forward to checking this out next summer! Stay Tuned. |
Loews Sapphire Falls Resort was the second Preferred level hotel built onsite. This resort opened last year, and I was able to stay one night. I really enjoyed the island décor and the tropical vacation feel of this resort. The décor is very Caribbean with cool blues and dark wood contrasts. The rum bar in the lobby is stunning to look at and also offers an extensive rum menu. Sapphire Falls offers a huge zero entry pool with a waterslide, hot tub, and a children’s play area. This pool is amazing! There is a “sandbar” that you can walk across the pool on, to make getting to the other side both fun and easy. Walking to the parks is much more manageable here than Cabana Bay, as the path takes you past Royal Pacific. The resort also offers a boat to Citywalk, which is an enjoyable ride. This resort offers two table service restaurants, one quick service location, and a poolside café. There is not a full Starbucks at this resort, but they serve a few Starbucks items at the quick service location. Parking is in a garage at $22.00 per night. There are several suites to choose from that will make your stay even more relaxing. Although it is a step up in the luxury scale and price, no Universal Express Pass is included with your stay here. This is a huge factor when deciding on a resort in my opinion. These passes totally change your entire vacation. Read on to find out how much they impact your day. |
The first Preferred level resort at USO was Loews Royal Pacific Resort. This is one of my favorites based on décor, amenities, and overall beauty. The theming is South Seas and the feel is carried all the way through the resort. I absolutely love the lobby and the elephant fountain. This resort offers three full-service dining locations, as well as two quick service locations. They also offer a fitness center, children’s play area, and a lagoon style pool with a sandy beach! Just beautiful!! All rooms will have two queens or one king and offer the choice of adding a rollaway ($25.00 per night) to either bedding choice. This means you can sleep up to five in a standard room. Royal Pacific also offers suites of varying levels to enhance your stay. There is a Luau offered weekly as well that gets great reviews. This certainly adds to the South Pacific feel of the resort. Parking here is also $22.00 per night. The most important feature is the Universal Express Pass that is included with your stay for each person in the room. This changes your entire vacation. I cannot even begin to explain the joy of seeing a two-hour wait for a popular ride or attraction and walking right past all of the scowling faces to the front of the line. On my most recent visit, I was able to ride both Harry Potter attractions with a five-minute wait. Instant happiness. This pass not only gets you to the front of the line once, but as many times as you would like. You can ride the Hulk until you match him in color if you so desire. This pass is pure gold. |
We have now reached Premier level status hotels!!!! The first is the Loews Hard Rock Hotel. This is the closest hotel to the parks. It is literally a five-minute walk to Universal Studios!! You can also opt for the boat, but walking is faster, plus it is a nice walk. Hard Rock offers two full-service dining locations and three quick service locations. Known for the not-so-subtle noise levels, Hard Rock offers you the chance to party like a Rock Star. You can even get a guitar delivered to your room! The pool has speakers underwater and you can sometimes catch live music performed there during the day. Volleyball and table tennis are also offered poolside, for those that have no intention of slowing down. Universal Express Pass is included with your stay here. Parking is $22.00 per night and valet is offered for $29.00. The rooms here are a true oasis from the hustle and bustle of the parks and offer the luxury a Rock Star would expect! These rooms all allow up to five guests with the use of a rollaway ($25.00 per night). This resort does have a reputation for being loud and busy, especially on the days they offer Velvet Sessions concerts in the lobby, but it’s a great option for those looking for a high-energy resort experience. |
The pinnacle of the Universal Orlando onsite hotels and resorts is the Loews Portofino Bay Resort! This resort is the Premiere Level onsite hotel in all manners of the term. Themed after Portofino Italy, this resort has that breathtaking appeal that you want on vacation. The unassuming arrival area and lobby give way to the most spectacular piazza on the east coast. From the live opera music sang from a balcony to the amazing Mama Della’s restaurant, and all the way to the Gelateria (blueberry muffin flavor is the best), this hotel screams Italy! The rooms have Italian marble desks, huge bathrooms and amazing piazza views available. This hotel even offers Despicable Me kids suites which have the bomb beds! The Universal Express Pass is included here as well. It comes to great use when you can sleep in, have a wonderful breakfast by the water or at the Trattoria del Porto, and then take the boat to the parks. You have the option of walking as well. I can tell you when you ride the boat back to the resort, this is when you have that gasping moment of the beauty of the resort. This place is so unique in its design and atmosphere. The pool beckons as a refreshing oasis with a slide and fun kid’s area. If adult time is your cup of tea, they also offer two other quiet pools with the Villa pool being extremely elegant, and the Hillside pool being cozy. Oh, and yes there is a full-service Starbucks!! Parking again is $22.00 per night and valet is also offered. Portofino offers both surface and underground parking. In case you haven’t figured it out this is my favorite USO onsite hotel and I highly recommend it. |
Express Passes - you will want them no matter the time of year, but especially during high crowd times. A lot of the time it is less expensive to upgrade the hotel choice instead of adding on the passes. Plus, with the hotel, you get the passes for the day of check-in until the park close of check-out! |
Amenities - make sure the resort offers what your family considers important to them. You may need a Starbucks or more variety in dining than what some locations offer. All rooms will feature a small refrigerator, coffee maker, and free Wi-Fi. All Universal resorts and hotels offer at least two queen size beds. |
Price - Have Dreams Unlimited price more than one resort, and you will be surprised at the special rates Universal offers. A lot of the time the Portofino Bay comes in less than the Hard Rock! |
Location - staying onsite not only gets you closer to the parks but also Citywalk. You will want to be fully immersed in Universal Orlando for your entire stay. |
