I'm 42 and my wife is 43. We've been married 20 yrs and decided before we got married that we didn't want children unless we could come up with compelling reasons to do so. We never did. We got crap from family, a few friends

CPAP treatment (and no other substantial changes in my life) brought my blood pressure down from 160/110 down to 118/78. Previous doctors had tried, without success, to lower it with massive beta blockers and other medication. I j

Most of the machines sold now are continuous, but not at constant pressure. Mine's set to detect apnea events and adjust between 5-15 for pressure and to adjust that further based on exhalation.

I believe my neurologist was one of those who helped develop that device (Cornelius). Can't log in to see, but sounds like the same thing. But, he keeps me on an adjustable CPAP machine instead because of how my sleep apnea works.

My ResMed S9 machine detects exhalation (configurable levels) and backs off of the pressure. The mask that I wear (covers mouth and nose) has small holes that vent both exhalation and the pressurized air. The air flow out of those holes is

I used to not drink, partially on the basis that my understanding was that it is healthier. Then someone showed me the mountain of evidence for the positive health benefits of moderate drinking: http://www2.potsdam.edu/alcoh

I just finished a project with ASP.NET MVC over PostgreSQL via NHibernate. Worked great. Just out of curiosity, I actually even set it up so I could change it over to SQL Server with a config change. While it was a small and relatively unco

"It already exists" at first looks like a reason not to build something. But, is the version that already exists really the same as your implementation would be? Outside of software, it's obvious that "it already exist

The best way to get paid $55,000 is to prove to them that you make or save them $110,000 a year. Asking for a raise makes it all about you. If you can make it all about THEM, and what THEY get from your continuing to work there, it's amazin

I was deemed "smart" in high school (I was regularly teased and mockingly called "Professor"), but lazy enough about things like homework that I stayed on the "B" honor roll all of the way through. I went on to do very similar in college, g

I/E isn't as much about whether you are "outgoing" or "gregarious", etc. It's really more about whether you: * Process things internally/externally * Get energy from being with people or find being with people "draining" I'm also an I who h

If you're more just trying to make really nice forms for web applications, there's a nice set of CSS themes from Wufoo . I've been using them for lots of my prototypes before we hire someone to do the final design. In the mean time, all of
