The power of mind abilities is a part of every person's life. Telepathy is a method of communication that uses only the mind as opposed to spoken or written language. You might think of it as being able to read someone's mind to discover their deep, dark secrets. While you might be able to pick up bits and pieces of thoughts, you should not worry about having your mind probed by a telepath or finding out things you would rather have unknown once...more

Focalin xrFocalin XR is a relatively new ADD/ADHD medication. Its chemical name is dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride. This long-acting version of Focalin can be used to treat not only children, but teens and adults as well.Each capsule of this medication, like so several other attention deficit drugs, is filled with beads in a precise ratio set to release the drug at specific intervals. In the case of Focalin XR, half of one capsule (regardless of the dosage) is filled with beads designed to release immediately. The other half of the beads is enteric-coated, delayed-release set to provide another dose of the medication at a later time.Your physician can prescribe this version of the drug in different strengths: 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 mg capsules. One of the assets to these increments of 5 mg is that adjustments in medications can be more finely tuned.Some doctors have prescribed daily doses as high as 30 to 40 mg. To give you an idea of the strength of the dosage, compare it to that of Concerta.

It is indigenous to the Azores and the Canary Islands but has become a popular pet all over the world. Their appearance is bright in color. Wild species are yellowish green with some brown striping or streaking. Many of the domesticated pets are more yellow with white bellies. There are many color variations, however. In the early days of coal mining, these birds were used to detect dangerous gases and saved the lives of many miners. Good nutrition and choosing an appropriate home from the choices of canary cages are important to a long and healthy life.Nutrition is important for the health and well being of your pet. Seeds and water are not enough. The bird can certainly survive on this type of a diet but will not reach their full potential and robustness.

Fruits and vegetables that will be of benefit include corn, grapes, bananas, plums and carrots. Some foods including avocados and...more
