National Stress Out Week
National Stress Øut Week, Nov. 8–14
National Stress Øut Week Spotlights Connection Between Anxiety Disorders and Substance Abuse—and What to Do About It
November 8–14, 2010
A recent scientific study finds alcohol as the most harmful of all drugs. But for many people, a glass of wine with dinner or a few drinks at a party is no cause for concern.
However, people with an anxiety disorder who use alcohol or other substances to alleviate their symptoms may actually make their anxiety worse. And it can be a vicious cycle: The symptoms of one disorder can make the symptoms of another worse.
During National Stress Øut Week, November 8–14, the Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA) encourages you discover the difference between everyday stress and an anxiety disorder; take time to relax and unwind; and find help for anxiety, substance abuse, and other disorders.
Seven out of ten adults in the United States say they experience stress or anxiety daily, and most say it interferes at least moderately with their lives. About one-third report persistent stress or excessive anxiety daily or that they have had an anxiety or panic attack. It isn’t unusual for those with social anxiety disorder, PTSD, panic , or other anxiety disorders to drink excessively to cope with symptoms or try to escape them.
Murray Stein, MD, MPH, and John Walker, PhD, write in Triumph Over Shyness: Conquering Social Anxiety Disorder that social anxiety disorder “frequently travels in the company of other emotional difficulties” such as alcohol or drug abuse, depression, and other anxiety disorders.
Those with an anxiety disorder—some 40 million adults in the U.S.—are two to three times more likely to have an alcohol or other substance abuse disorder at some point in their lives than the general population.

Down & Dirty Event
First of all I would like to thank the one's for showing up and taking the time to help make this happen.
The clean up didn't take that long with everyone's help, well maybe it took a little longer...LOL
It was BAD! Beer cans, dirty diapers, empty beer cases you name it, it was there. That didn't stop us for doing what we went to do though. We picked up hundreds of pinecones and I don't know how many piles of pinestraw my husband had for me to load. Some of the girls even had a pinecone fight. It was an awesome day for sure. I am hoping in the near future that we can place trash cans at this site. So if you have a chance ride by and take a look at the now pretty little road side park in Hickox between mile makers 7&8 on Hwy 301....
HELP KEEP BRANTLEY CLEAN! It will help by taking your trash with you...

2010 Daylight Saving Time
On Sunday, March 14, 2010 at 2 a.m., Daylight Saving Time begins in the United States.
Every Spring we move our clocks one hour ahead and "lose" an hour during the night and each Fall we move our clocks back one hour and "gain" an extra hour. But Daylight Saving Time (and not Daylight Savings Time with an "s") wasn't just created to confuse our schedules.
The phrase "Spring forward, Fall back" helps people remember how Daylight Saving Time affects their clocks. At 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March, we set our clocks forward one hour ahead of Standard Time ("Spring forward"). We "Fall back" at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November by setting our clock back one hour and thus returning to Standard Time.
The change to Daylight Saving Time allows us to use less energy in lighting our homes by taking advantage of the longer and later daylight hours. During the eight-month period of Daylight Saving Time, the names of time in each of the time zones in the U.S. (map) change as well. Eastern Standard Time (EST) becomes Eastern Daylight Time, Central Standard Time (CST) becomes Central Daylight Time (CDT), Mountain Standard Time (MST) becomes Mountain Daylight Time (MDT), Pacific Standard Time becomes Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), and so forth.
Daylight Saving Time was instituted in the United States during World War I in order to save energy for war production by taking advantage of the later hours of daylight between April and October. During World War II the federal government again required the states to observe the time change. Between the wars and after World War II, states and communities chose whether or not to observe Daylight Saving Time. In 1966, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act, which standardized the length of Daylight Saving Time.
Daylight Saving Time is four weeks longer since 2007 due to the passage of the Energy Policy Act in 2005. The Act extended Daylight Saving Time by four weeks from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November, with the hope that it would save 10,000 barrels of oil each day through reduced use of power by businesses during daylight hours. Unfortunately, it is exceedingly difficult to determine energy savings from Daylight Saving Time and based on a variety of factors, it is possible that little or no energy is saved by Daylight Saving Time.
Arizona (except some Indian Reservations), Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa have chosen not to observe Daylight Saving Time. This choice does make sense for the areas closer to the equator because the days are more consistent in length throughout the year.

As for next year we will have to see how it goes and may have do it a little different than this year...as we didn't receive many donations to be giving out...So stay tuned and we will let you know.
Thanks to all that helped and donated to the cause....
