Don’t Be An Over Zealous Sitter

Written by Annie on Dec 30th, 2008 | Filed under: General


I am an experienced salvia sitter. What that means is that if one of my friends decides to take it upon themselves to buy salvia without first having identified a smoking partner, then I will sit with them, sober, while they try the drug. A better solution is to have one or more smoking partners, as this means you can take it in turns to smoke and sit. But hey, I don’t mind helping out once in a while if a friend wants to buy salvia and try it without anyone else knowing.

The first rule of being a sitter is not to panic. As bad as a trip might seem from the outside it is almost always fine for the person experiencing it. In any case the trip is so short that it is simply not worth getting panicky over: it’s going to be all but over in a few minutes anyway. Sit it out and remind yourself why you buy salvia in the first place: experimentation!

The next rule of being a sober sitter is to not get involved in the trip. Don’t touch the person, and don’t prevent them from exploring! No body who wants to buy salvia wants their experience muted by an over zealous sitter!


The Salvia Magical Mystery Tour

Written by Annie on Dec 15th, 2008 | Filed under: General


A friend of mine suggested that we went on a magical mystery tour, visited the green magic dragon and danced with the fairies. I asked her what on earth she was talking about. Her response was simple and succinct: Salvia.

We had tried most drugs together on an occasional basis over the years. Some experiences were bad but mostly they were positive. There was one regrettable incident that ended in the bedroom but at least we can laugh about that today. Salvia was something that we have never tried before but something that we have all now heard a lot about thanks to some media outlets picking it up as their favorite topic of all time.

We bought the Salvia legally online and went quickly to work. It was deemed sensible that I went first while she ’spotted’ me. Good job she did!

I was fine for the first two or three minutes, apparently, but then all hell broke loose. I was attacked by three headed-dogs and green dragons. A fairy came and I can only assume she chased the animals away; then she turned into the cactus near the window. My thrashing about nearly knocked a few ornaments flying and it was only my friend’s quick thinking that saved me and them.

Salvia is certainly an interesting experience!


Acai Berry detox

Written by admin on Dec 15th, 2008 | Filed under: General


As of lately, the acai berry has received a huge amount of recognition from several different society commentators and media outlets, and not least because people realize that Acai Detox
helps weight loss. If you look through the benefits offered by the acai such as weight loss and fighting against premature aging, it’s very easy to see why it’s getting so much attention.

A Michigan State Professor, Dr. Perricone is a very strong supporter for the Acai berry for weight loss. Oprah Winfrey has even recommended the acai berry as a wonderful fruit that can do great things. Since she happens to be a very famous person, worldwide, people will really take her opinion into consideration.

If you analyze the different potentials of the acai berry as a weight loss and dieting aid, you’ll want to hop onto the bandwagon, along with the rest of the supporters. It truly is that great.

For these reasons, Acai Pure has become a very popular product. When you buy Acai Pure, you get purified extracts of berries and the acai plant. It is designed by many medical experts to assist someone by providing all the nutrients that you would need when on a diet. Not to mention, the owner of Acai Pure are now offering a risk free trial, it isn’t very hard to find out why so many people are trying this great product.


You can take Pure Acai with you wherever you go!

There are a multitude of reasons why introducing Acai into your diet can be one of the best ways to get and stay healthy. One of the easiest ways to make this transition from an acai free to an acai rich diet is to use a product like Pure Acai.

Pure Acai is just what it says on the tin: pure acai extract. Not mixed with anything (as you would find in many acai juices) and not converted into a preserve (which can often restrict the ways in which you can eat and use it). Put simply, Pure Acai is the most convenient way to get acai into your diet.

If you are intending to change your diet to help you lose weight and keep fit, then adding acai with a product like Pure Acai can help in many ways. Firstly, it ensures that you get all the nutrients you need despite cutting down on your food intake, and secondly it means that you are getting extra nutrients where they matter. The extra amino acids and essential fatty acids (that’s good fat, by the way!) really do help to keep your body in tip top shape; all the better for exercising and making the most of your new diet


Salvia Has Been Around For Years

Written by Annie on Dec 1st, 2008 | Filed under: General


Salvia divinorum may not sound familiar to most people, but this herbal high has been available over the Internet and in smoking shops for years. The effects of taking salvia can vary and users generally smoke the substance as they wood smoke weed.

However, unlike weed, which tends to chill a person out, salvia takes users on an all-expenses-paid trip to another world. Users will often think that they have left their bodies altogether and vivid hallucinations are common. Salvia has never been much of a concern to parents, but there has been a lot of attention places on legal highs in the US recently.

Not long ago, there were four boys in Pennsylvania taken to hospital after taking a legal high called Snurf, which is a product that comes in pill form. Parents were quick to react and slam the industry that produces all these herbal highs, but they may have their work cut out for them.

The ease with which most people can get their hands on herbal highs, either online or in smoking shops, has meant that children have actually been turning to these products instead of illegal drugs.

You’d think this would be a good thing, but with herbal highs still a relative unknown, especially among concerned parents, there are those who would rather shut down all websites selling Snurf pills and other such products.

Experts are still unclear what is in these Snurf pills, but some have said that they may contain dextromethorphan (DMX), the cough suppressant ingredient found in many medicines.

DMX is a synthetic morphine analog that does not create the opioid effects. One in 10 children in grades seven to 12 has supposedly experimented with DMX.

Other legal highs on the market include herbal ecstasy, a milder form of the hard drug ecstasy.


Do yourself a favor and buy Acai!

Written by Laura on Nov 30th, 2008 | Filed under: General


People wanting to buy acai should always remember that acai, like so many other products, comes in many different forms. Some of these forms are better than others. Specifically, some forms of acai contain more actual acai than others. A few quick checks on the ingredients list and you can be confident when you buy acai.

Why does it have to come in the form of these products rather than as a juicy, nutritious berry? Unfortunately that’s unavoidable. Whether the lack of actual berries or not for those wanting to buy acai is a good or bad thing is open to discussion. The reason is that the acai berries degrade really quickly once the Brazilians have picked them from their tall palms.

Fortunately the products that are available can be really good, and actually they’re a lot more convenient than the berry in its raw form. It depends on your decision about where to buy acai on the actual range you will be offered. It is up to you to decide whether to buy acai in the form of powders, pulls, juices, preserves, pulps of purees. Whatever you choose, you can be sure that your decision to buy acai was a good one. Good health!


Salvia: Zero To Hero

Written by Annie on Nov 30th, 2008 | Filed under: General


Salvia has enjoyed some pretty intense reporting over the past year or so. Going from zero to anti-hero in such a short time takes some doing and it is only thanks to a self-fulfilling cycle of news reporting which (apparently) encourages more people to buy Salvia that we are in this situation.

A focus of much of the sudden attention is YouTube where hundreds of videos have appeared in which people are seemingly high on Salvia. Why this is causing such concern is a bit of a mystery, especially when you consider that to buy Salvia is completely legal in most countries worldwide. If you want to buy Salvia then you just need to head down to the nearest smoke shop and there it is. You can also buy Salvia on the Internet: again completely legally.

The focus on YouTube as the cause for an increase in Salvia usage is misguided at best. Rather the reason the videos of people high on Salvia are on YouTube in the first place is that it has had so much press attention. The very people who are calling for the drug’s ban are the ones that are, unknowingly, promoting it to the masses.


Acai preserves help retain the goodness of fatty acids

Written by Laura on Nov 20th, 2008 | Filed under: General


Looking into a jar of acai preserves is an enlightening experience. The thick, puree-like substance that you see within, that deep purple color that look — and tastes — so very appetizing, has come straight from the Amazon basin. It is about this point in time, after you’ve enjoyed a sneaky spoonful or two, that you realize just why the locals in the areas where they harvest the acai fruit eat enough acai to make up 42% of their diet, by weight.

It is also at this point that you realize that no matter how good pills and powdered versions of acai are, they simply cannot compete with the wonderful acai preserves that you have in front of you. This is up to 99% pure acai fruit, folks, not some reconstituted fruit mix with a smattering of the wonder-fruit. This is almost pure acai preserves!

The lack of processing doesn’t just serve to make the berries delicious and wonderful value for money, it also means that less of the nutritional goodness — the main reason you got this stuff in the first place — is lost to the processing and refinement that many products undergo. More processing means less natural; in the case of acai preserves little or no processing means most natural.


Mac Games in Spore is Spectacular

Written by admin on Nov 19th, 2008 | Filed under: General


Spore Creature Creator is a new type of approach in mac games, and it has been designed from the ‎beginning to appeal to mac owners who are not used to playing mac games, as well as those that ‎play on a regular basis. These type of mac games are taking up increasingly large market shares as ‎they tap into sections of the population that have never tried games before.‎

The pricing structure, too, is pretty unique amongst mac games. Not only is the full version only ‎‎$9.99, but there is a demo version which offers around 25% of the features of the full version: this ‎downloadable demo is absolutely free. How’s that for a great deal? And how many other mac games ‎do you know that would offer the same arrangement? With some full versions of premium mac ‎games carrying frankly quite startling price tags, Spore Creature Creator is a welcome breath of ‎fresh air.‎

Once you get the full version (and I’m confident that you will once you’ve tried the download) you ‎can import your little creatures into the online galaxy occupied by other spores. Spore Creature ‎Creator is designed and produced by the same people who were responsible for the sims, and this ‎shows through the level of detail that is present. You can interact with pretty much everything‎


Experts love Acai berry supplements

Written by Laura on Nov 18th, 2008 | Filed under: General


If you are one of the many people who worry about getting older — and why wouldn’t you? — then you will be interested in the findings of scientists, doctors and nutritionists the world over who are telling us that the benefits of acai berry supplements are one of the best ways in which to combat the physical and mental effects of aging.

Some of the benefits of Acai supplements are they are packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential omega fatty acids all of which help the body’s ability to combat “oxidative stress” and cellular inflammation. Other benefits of acai berry supplements are they can help to combat these effects, thus staving off the effects of old age for just that little bit longer.

Acai supplements are not some kind of witch craft, nor are they reserved for health food fanatics that are obsessive about what they eat (or, more importantly, what they don’t eat): they are an easy way to pack your body with a boatload of nutrients and goodness.

Oprah Winfrey featured the acai berry — and the benefits of acai berry supplements — on her TV show, and if you can think of a better, more glowing accolade than that then I’d love to hear about it! Acai supplements are a new food supplement that really are here to stay.
