Sleep patterns are huge, if I dont get enough, I have issues fast.. diet affects me a good bit as well, but I have a hard time controlling that due to travel. (which also affects sleep so.. it can be a vicious cycle) Coffee/caffeine has a calming effect instead of the usual 'perk up' most people seem to experience (yes i know it is a drug too) the biggest factor for me was learning to adjust work habits and planning ahead.. arranging my tasks so that I rarely HAVE to focus on one at length and can work on something else as my thought wanders, so Ive learned to use my 'problem' to my advantage. I'm usually working on 10-15 projects at a time while most of my coworkers average 4 or 5. I HAVE to have notes and reminders everywhere or I forget things and miss deadlines (lack of focus) so I have more whiteboards with cryptic notes in my work space than anyone i know for time critical tasks, I actually function better under the pressure of a tight suspense (rather than 'we need this in 2 weeks' as I'll put it away and forget) I tend to leave things hanging without that outside 'push' and external reminders "how is X coming?" etc.. and I'm the first one on the list when something 'extra' has to be done on short notice.. meditation (at first learned through martial arts then expanded) was/is key for me.. anyone can learn to quiet and reorganize their thoughts.... most modern people havent the time or patience to learn to do so, but I do it regularly through out the day (getting my bosses to understand i wasnt simply 'spacing out' was/is always a challenge) and can redirect my attention for hours after. Also "Training" my bosses not to let me 'sit idle' is key as well.. keep me busy or I will do so elsewhere (ive had to quit a couple of jobs because of this) developing rituals was very important.. I've had to learn how to 'program' myself so that everything doesnt require complete focus.. for lots of tasks my mind is actively racing elsewhere but when I "check myself" the programmed force of habit has helped me through..( most of the time, this causes problems if I havent 'trained' correctly, so I'm very deliberate when learning new things, and simply do not try somethings when I'm at my 'worst') I've had acupuncture a few times in my life, but not in a controlled enough manner to say how it affects me in that regard, the stress reduction, calming environment and associated relaxation certainly helps but that applies to anything that reduces overall stress levels allowing me to focus on something else for a while than whatever was 'top of the list' that second. it's always been ridiculous to me that modern societies first response to such 'behavior differences' was to medicate into 'normality' as if people have not been dealing with these same issues for thousands of years... I've seen a few ADHD 'breakdowns' from those who didnt have access to their "regular medication" and absolutely refuse to become that dependent.. honestly this is part of who I am, what makes me different from many others, why would i wish to drug myself into 'normality'?? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

best analogy for Mac vs PC is Automatic vs Manual.. you dont HAVE to have that level of control, but many of us prefer it. Vista.. it is Windows ME version 2... wont load it on any of my machines for at least a year... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

I'm not going to rebut at length, to avoid hijacking a caring, sensitive thread. But you're simply, and completely, incorrect about that. you would be completely and totally wrong.. as I've been dealing with it for years without meds... but feel free to become/remain drug dependent if you like.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

uh no... well unless you are in the 'safe enough for grandma' camp... might as well rename the site and the sport to "Hello Kitty Skydives" ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

so are Vengeful, Angry and Jealous... all very well illustrated by OT behavior of some Gods... some cultures are not above applying human emotions to divinity. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

seems like she'd even have trouble with 'do you want fries with that?' and someone should tell her she is far to plain to make it as a trophy wife... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

this is why medication for ADHD is a very bad idea... you never learn to deal with it yourself, in a manner that is self sustaining.... "the secret to balance is learning to feel the waves" Ive had 2 relatives take the 'easy way out' (once just recently ) I can only hope they found what they were looking for, but wish they'd looked a little farther around here first...soooooo many things left unseen and undone. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

why the hell would anyone think 45 sec of exposure once a year (or even once a month) is any kind of reasonable experience to perform successfully??? imagine it in ANY sport... golf, tennis, bowling even... how competent can you expect to be with all of 45 sec of (not recent) practice? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

HUGE difference, no production or distribution issues..Software issues are a simple matter of code, test, release.. I help do hundreds of software fixes a year...hardware? end of life hardware? lol... LANC is dead.... dont believe? just wait..but its your time... i DO suggest you look into the manufacturing involved and the number of camera's and camera applications for prosumers that have any requirement for it... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

the opposite is equally true.. what is illegal is not necessarily wrong, nor are the benefits to society the 'gold standard' by which such things should be judged. many things are 'beneficial to society' (from the 'correct' POV) but should never be imposed on the individuals who compose 'society'. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

this is a straw man... there is always a choice, the individual just might not like the alternatives. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

not true.. you just have to find opportunity..example an indian family moved down stairs.. every day the most amazing smells came from their place.. one day i had an opportunity to help them unload some heavy furniture.. they tried to pay me, I asked instead if they would show me how to cook some of the amazing curry i had been drolling over... i was a regular guest from there on out.. you can Seek anything you wish to know.. most are to lazy to bother...

you know you can simply remove the name from the subject field??? ala this post? yes it still threads to you, but do people actually read in threaded anymore? that is so 80s.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

no, not in any hurry, but no fear of the prospect. Its simply one more thing to experience. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

my favorite has always been.. i've also seen added "Skydive and get into the element." but I like it better without the 'lead pipe' explanation. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

quite a few otters ive seen have one of the smaller window mirrors (you know the one cubicaldwellers have on their monitors) on the back wall.. the simplest solution is best imo.. those mirrors are very cheap and you can check rather easily before you climb out... expecting the major manufacturers to cater to our tiny market is a bit silly. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
