On Ice:
Northern folks like less ice in their cold beverages than southerners. There are several distinct possibilities here. 1.) It's not as hot here and therefore less threatening to frigidity, thus, less ice is typically needed to maintain coldage. 2.) People want more “bang for their buck” and are willing to forgo chill for beverage volume. 3.) The pace here is faster; it's not common to leisurely stretch a beverage out over the course of an hour, so there's no need to keep it cold that long.
On Yoga:
Apparently some of the things I've been doing with my body for fun since I was a child are advanced yoga moves.
On EMDR:
It's a kind of therapy which involves, through one method or another, drawing your eyes from side to side as you work through unresolved experiences. One of the methods uses sound. Low sounding beeps alternate ears, causing an automatic eye response. This is what happens during REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. “Let me sleep on it” has real validity in this context. Sometimes, when memories have strong emotional content, our minds will react in such a way that we'll wake up before ever processing “filing away” these memories properly. That's where EMDR comes in.
On Stereo Recordings:
Until the late 50's all recordings were in mono, meaning the sound came from straight ahead of you. There is a reason stereo recordings took off in the way they did and are still popular. There is a reason the first stereo Beatles records were such a big deal to the generation that first experienced them: WORLD-WIDE EMDR THERAPY FOR EVERYONE. Aid in the EMDR effect, Beatles records were often hard-panned, meaning instruments and voices were panned to the furthest L/R points in the “stereo field”.
Those records healed people in a way unavailable before.
