About your body - Part 1 (Biological Response System)
I feel that in order to be in the best health you can be, you must first really understand how the body works, or at least the basics. This way when you go to your doctors you can actually talk to him or her in their language and understand what is going on. I have found that by simply knowing what is going on within my body and how things operate, I can come up with ideas for the doctor to check out.About the Body - part 8 (Autonomic Nervous System)
Autonomic Nervous System The autonomic nervous system is more of an internal system, connecting the central nervous system to the endocrine glands, the muscles controlling the heart, and the primarily involuntary smooth muscles controlling the other internal organs, such as the stomach, intestines, liver, and lungs. The autonomic nervous system is very important in emotion. The autonomic nervous system is further divided into two branches: the sympathetic nervous system, which is more active in emergencies, and the parasympathetic nervous system, which is more active under normal circumstances.About your body - Part 4 (Central Nervous System)
Our nervous system is divided into two parts: the peripheral nervous system, which receives messages from the sense organs and carries messages to the muscles and glands, and the central nervous system, which interprets and stress messages from the sense organs, decides what behaviors to exhibit, and sends appropriate messages for responding to the muscles and glands. Most of the behaviors involved in the above scenes are accomplished through the working of the central nervous system, which is composed of the brain and the spinal cord. Thanks to the part of your brain that controls muscle coordination, the cerebellum, you are able to sit.About the Body - Part 7 (Somatic Nervous System)
Somatic Nervous System The somatic nervous system might be regarded as “external” since it involves the sense organs and the skeletal muscles, both located close to the outside surface of the body. The sensory division of the somatic nervous system carries messages from the sense organs, whereas the motor division relays information that directs primarily the voluntary movements of the skeletal muscles.A very interesting article about the American prison system
Source: The Economist Lexington A nation of jailbirds Apr 2nd 2009 From The Economist print edition Far too many Americans are behind bars THE world’s tallest building is now in Dubai rather than New York.

System of a Down - Lonely Day is a kinda sad song, but everytime I hear it I think of Disturbia one of my favorite movies.
Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life
Such a lonely day
Should be banned
It's a day that I can't stand
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
Such a lonely day
Shouldn't exist
It's a day that I'll never miss
Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life
And if you go, I wanna go with you
And if you die, I wanna die with you
Take your hand and walk away
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
Life
Such a lonely day
And it's mine
It's a day that I'm glad I survived
