Teoma http://www.teoma.com You'll hear a lot of hype about how this will replace Google as the big league search engine. Don't believe all the hype, but do add it to your toolkit. ============================================== BLOOD PRESSURE SECRET Having your blood pressure checked? You may be wondering what those numbers mean. Blood pressure is the amount of force blood exerts against the walls of your arteries. Measured in millimeters of mercury (mm/Hg), the results of this test are typically given in two numbers--systolic pressure over diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure measures the pressure when the heart beats (the highest pressure), while diastolic pressure measures the pressure in between, when the heart is at rest (the lowest pressure). According to the National Women's Health Resource Center, if your blood pressure stays at or above 135/85 mm/Hg over a period of time, it is considered high. A healthy blood pressure range for women is between 90/50 and 130/85. ============================================== APRIL BAR BET BREAK A PENCIL WITH A DOLLAR BILL You fold a dollar in half lengthwise and ask someone to hold a pencil firmly by either end, out in front of them. You then announce that you will strike the pencil so hard with the dollar bill, that the pencil will break. Invite them to try it first if they like. When you strike the pencil, you secretly place your index finger alongside the dollar bill and it's the finger that breaks the bill, but only you will know that. Do not use pencils that are too thick or pencils that are too short. Move your hand fast, both to hide your finger and to break the pencil easier. Practice! ==============================================
