JH - beats flex -The Impossibility of Chasing Happiness - Or How to Be Happy

Anyone who has read Lewis Carroll will remember that the more Alice tried to walk directly to the house she could see in the distance, the more frustrated she became and the further away from it she ended up. It was only when she abandoned the pursuit that she found herself walking through the door of the house, reaching her goal. Similarly some years ago in a radio interview, I heard a woman being asked if her child was happy. "Who said any of us has a right to be happy?' she countered. I was feeling low at the time - a mother of two small children with a workaholic husband who was unable to understand why I wouldn't necessarily be brimming with happiness, having everything that a woman could want. And it made me think. I was definitely not happy, but focusing on that unhappiness was not helping. In fact it was making me more unhappy, because everyday I felt let-down that no-one was doing anything to improve my situation. I decided that it was true - happiness was not...

Ceramic Bearings for Bicycling - The Best Option

There's always been much talk throughout bike industry and amongst enthusiasts about ceramic bearings and whether or not they are the best option for optimal performance. Every cyclist would prefer to use less energy to go faster, but is the extra expense worth it? That may be solely up to the particular cyclist. They should question where the advantage of speed comes from. It could be from any of the following: Reduction of rolling resistance - balls are ground rounder, smoother and more uniformly than steel, allowing them to carry close to the same load. Increased durability and stiffness Reduced weight Another bonus is that ceramic bearings are harder than steel variations, and they are more durable, lasting up to 20 times longer, and offering minimal risk of seizure. Luckily they don't rust and are not very sensitive to lubrication and moisture. Some ceramic bearings even require zero lubricant, which is a huge benefit. It reduces maintenance time, and ...

Many of them give up precisely because of the immense will power required to stay awake and conscious when completely relaxed.

JH - lululemon -Penis Rash From the Swimsuit? Here's How to Avoid It

Summertime means the opportunity to spend a serious amount of time in the water. Guys readily don a swimsuit to spend time wave-jumping in the ocean, swimming laps in the pool or just relaxing their tired muscles in a hot tub. Unfortunately, each of these swimsuit options comes with the possibility of developing a penis rash as a result. With that in mind, here is some information about swimsuit-related penis rash and how to maintain penis health while splashing about this summer.

JH - beats -Beats Per Minute and Beats Per Measure - The Two Important BPMs of Every Song!

When should the male dancer begin to lead his partner into her six-count or eight-count footwork once the swing music begins? The answer is that he should begin leading her on any of the song's downbeats; that is, on the "1" count, the "3" count, the "5" count or the "7" count. These "base beats" are the backbone or pulse of a song! You don't need to be a trained musician to understand a song's tempo (or timing), just listen to music and pick out the rhythm section (drums, bass, guitar or piano). To take the pulse of the song and determine its number of beats per minute (BPM), count these downbeats for fifteen seconds and then multiply by four. Very slow swing songs have around 70 BPM and very fast ones have upwards of 200 BPM. The swing songs that I personally enjoy dancing to the most, average about 125 BPM which coincidentally approximates my optimum cardio-training heart rate when I exercise. Notice that these downbeat...
