Is Insomnia Ruining Your Life? Do you have trouble falling asleep at night? Do you wake up in the middle of the night feeling anxious or running to the bathroom? Do you feel like it's ok to skimp a bit on sleep in order to work more or party harder? Believe it or not, sleep affects everything you do. We spend nearly a third of our lives sleeping, but many of us aren't doing it very well. Millions of Americans suffer from sleep disorders-everything from insomnia to nocturia to sleep apnea-leading to lost productivity and even dangerous accidents. Chronic sleep deprivation has even been associated with serious diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Healthy Habits Can Create Unhealthy Sleep Could your healthy diet be wreaking havoc on your sleep schedule? Is your exercise regime causing more harm than good? Many diets inadvertently lead to stress in the body by restricting carbs, fats, proteins, or calories, and this can override your efforts and ability to sleep well! Maybe it's time to bring back that bedtime snack. Stress is sleep's #1 enemy. Solve the Sleep Riddle Once and For All Sleeping in on the weekends isn't enough to solve the sleep equation. Getting good rest requires a specific strategy, that can feel overwhelming if you don't have the right information, but it doesn't have to be complicated. In Sleep, the latest book by author Joey Lott, you'll discover a comprehensive sleep program that will have you catching more zzzz's in no time. Learn to sync up with the Earth's natural rhythms in a way that requires no special equipment, weird New Age chanting or complicated techniques. The info here is easy to learn and easy to implement. If you've ever struggled with insomnia or fatigue and are ready to finally feel rested and fully restored, then this is the book for you. Available on Kindle and paperback.

Advanced ActionScript 3 with Design Patterns

Well before Ajax and Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation hit the scene, Macromedia offered the first method for building web pages with the responsiveness and functionality of desktop programs with its Flash-based "Rich Internet Applications". Now, new owner Adobe is taking Flash and its powerful capabilities beyond the Web and making it a full-fledged development environment. Rather than focus on theory, the ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook concentrates on the practical application of ActionScript, with more than 300 solutions you can use to solve a wide range of common coding dilemmas. You'll find recipes that show you how to: Detect the user's Flash Player version or their operating system Build custom classes Format dates and currency types Work with strings Build user interface components Work with audio and video Make remote procedure calls using Flash Remoting and web services Load, send, and search XML data And much, much more ... Each code recipe presents the Problem, Solution, and Discussion of how you can use it in other ways or personalize it for your own needs, and why it works. You can quickly locate the recipe that most closely matches your situation and get the solution without reading the whole book to understand the underlying code. Solutions progress from short recipes for small problems to more complex scripts for thornier riddles, and the discussions offer a deeper analysis for resolving similar issues in the future, along with possible design choices and ramifications. You'll even learn how to link modular ActionScript pieces together to create rock-solid solutions for Flex 2 and Flash applications. When you're not sure how ActionScript 3.0 works or how to approach a specific programming dilemma, you can simply pick up the book, flip to the relevant recipe(s), and quickly find the solution you're looking for.

Fat is Bad...Right? As a society, we now have a new form of sanctioned bigotry: fat intolerance. We're told over and over again that more people worldwide are fatter than ever before in history and that's a huge problem! Why? Simply because "fat is bad." There's an obesity epidemic going around and we've got to do something about it, quick! It's been assumed that the winning solution is to eat less and exercise more. But have we even agreed on the problem? Is fat really all that bad? Better Health is Only a Liposuction Away We have assumed that being lazy leads to fatness and fatness leads to sickness...but is it true? The reasoning behind coercing all us fatties to lose weight is under the guise of better health. But it turns out that blaming fatness for sickness is a view unsupported by scientific literature. Somewhere along the lines, the correlation between weight and illness was fabricated and we've been believing it ever since. And I know what you're thinking: what about heart disease? What about diabetes? Well, if losing weight actually healed these diseases, wouldn't liposuction do the job? Turns out it doesn't. So there must be something else going on here. The Great Fat Conspiracy In Big Fat Lies, author Joey Lott takes on the big (no pun intended) beast of the so-called "obesity epidemic," questioning everything we've come to assume about fatness. He goes on to bust apart prevailing food myths and breaks down the theory that fat is bad, one calorie at a time. The book begs the question: might the diseases we're attributing to weight gain actually be attributed to other facts, like psychological stress, insufficient sleep, radiation exposure, pharmaceutical drugs, and environmental chemical exposure, all of which have increased over the last few decades? Perhaps excess fat (and the "excess" is even debatable) is merely a symptom and not a problem unto itself. This is a must-read for anyone questioning mainstream beliefs about health, weight, and the future of humanity.

The Truth about Obesity, Disease and Health

Big Fat Lies

Does Sugar Make Us Fat and Sick? Like fat in the 80s and 90s, sugar is the new nutritional devil. Sugar is the scapegoat for all of our woes. Got cancer? Well sugar feeds cancer! Got diabetes? You ate too much sugar; better cut back! Your kid's hyperactive? Clearly they've been eating too many Twinkies. And don't forget: Sugar is more addictive than cocaine and heroin! But is this "truth" too sweet to swallow? Free Yourself from the Fear and Hysteria Surrounding Sugar Pundits, politicians, medical professionals, and hucksters alike bombard us with their scaremongering. We're reminded often of the high rates of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and other diseases, and we're encouraged--sometimes even mandated--to reduce our risk. Amidst the hysteria, everyone is looking for something to blame. Sugar has become a scapegoat. In fact, sugar has been called "the new tobacco." But the evidence against sugar is practically non-existent. Time to Face the Sweet, Sweet Truth The consumption of high-fructose corn syrup has declined in the US since 1999, but people continue getting fatter, so there must be another explanation for the obesity epidemic besides overconsumption of candy and soda. It's facts like this that make Joey's Lott's latest book, In Defense of Sugar, a must-read. Lott cuts through the nonsense being sold by the likes of Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Joseph Mercola-the "anti-sugarists"-by digging deep into the scientific studies. And what do those studies say? That sugar, when included in a well-rounded diet, is not only not harmful, but may even be beneficial. Let's put it this way: If fructose is really so dangerous, early humans would have dropped dead from eating all that tropical fruit before they had time to create the next generation. Get your facts straight and put sugar back on your plate.

Be your authentic self, without pretense, without conditions, and without pressure Everybody says that, right? And everybody usually responds, "Well, that's easier said than done." So, if you've been struggling to just be your authentic self but aren't sure how to get there, don't despair. There is in fact a way to just do that and it's simpler than you think. Your life doesn't have to be as complicated as you think it is. An American and Englishman walk into a bar... Well, actually, not in this case. But they do indeed have several conversations. Joey Lott (the American) and Graham Ellis (the Brit) discovered each other's previous books on Amazon.com and discovered they had a lot in common. They got together to write this book and discuss ways of simplifying your life. The duo has reached their understanding of the world around them having had some serious struggles. Lott grappled with eating disorders and Lyme disease and Ellis had to deal with Crohn's disease, anxiety and suicidal tendencies. Ultimately, though, they both pulled through and have taken this opportunity to share their stories and reveal how you can overcome pretty much anything when you take the path of least resistance. Even a pop princess can learn to just "be." The pair uses the concept of a mega star pop princess trying to find her authentic self in a world that demands a certain set of behaviors and an audience with specific expectations. Her problems are ours, just on a larger scale and Lott and Ellis reveal the need to find the "off" switch within our own minds and how to block out the external babble. Self-realization or awakening is not some grand event. Wait. It's not? No, it's not. No fireworks, no magic powers, no teleportation abilities. It's the title of this book: "Not All Its Cracked Up To Be." The authors believe the truth of who we are is as mainstream as the latest pop princess. Find out how it works by reading Lott and Ellis's "Not All Its Cracked Up To Be" today.
