There is a really innovative Austin Real Estate  Company that services the technologically savvy home buyer  that is looking to buy a new Home in Austin texas.  The Homecity Company has a website at homecity.com that shows you slide shows, virtual tours, and aerial photographs for thousands of Austin homes.  These homes include individual family homes, townhouses, lots, and condominiums.  Regardless of the listing agent, all of this information is available on their website.  This is a great service to the prospective buyer; it gives the buyer the chance to get a really good idea of what properties that they want to look at without feeling the pressure of a salesman breathing down their necks.  Once the buyer knows what they want to look at, all they have to do is contact the company and they will help to match you up with the appropriate seller.

I’ve been interested to be seeing on news shows the breakdown of the demographics of what groups voted for Obama, and what groups voted for McCain. The news person keeps saying that although the “young” group voted in record numbers, that their vote really did not effect who won the election. The news person was giving most of the credit towards different ethnic groups – the minorities turned out in record numbers and most of the voted for Obama, and that is why Obama won the race. Yet I’ve heard nothing about breaking down how many of those ethnic groups that turned out were the “youth?”

I suspect that the “youth” vote had a lot more influence than what they are being given credit for. And I have to really wonder how accurate those demographics are since our votes are supposed to be kept secret, how do they really KNOW what age the voter was that cast what ballot? I think that is suspicious, indeed.

I was reading an article on the msnbc.msn.com website titled “Obama positioned to reverse Bush actions” that was talking about a lot of different things that Obama can (and probably WILL) do to reverse a lot of the damage that George W Bush has done to our country.  The article was talking about changing the policy on stem cell research, about sex education (including abortion options) and changing some environmental policies.  I was happy to learn that Obama has had a group of lawyers working for months on researching what kinds of things he can work on quickly so he can get things done as soon as possible.  I was really glad to see that they are working on this kind of progress!

Many people suffer from sleep apnea.  Sleep apnea happens when someone stops breathing while they are asleep.  When the body realizes that the breathing has stopped, the person is awakened suddenly by the body’s reaction, which is often a jerking motion.  Sleep apnea has many causes.  Whenever I have a cold I have noticed that while I am suffering from that cold I have sleep apnea-like spells where I stop breathing for a moment and my body jerks awake.  Sleep apnea can be very serious; at a bare minimum it causes a person to suffer from sleep deprivation, which has a lot of health complications.  One of the symptoms of sleep apnea is snoring.  Snoring also becomes a problem and cause of sleep deprivation to the other household members who are trying to sleep but are kept awake by the snoring sounds of the person with sleep apnea.

Sometimes sleep apnea is a side effect of obesity, sometimes it is caused by other circumstances.  In the case of obesity sometimes weight loss is all that is needed to resolve the sleep apnea and snoring problem.

I just learned from the midtowndentistry.com website that snoring issues can sometimes be resolved through the help of a dentist!  They can provide an apparatus to wear at night (it looks and feels similar to a sports mouth guard) that will keep the airways open and reduce snoring and sleep apnea.

The Houston Texas snoring therapy experts to consult for this particular device are the good doctors Dr. Jonathan Penchas, Dr. Marilyn Ward, and Dr. Stephanie Scheyer from the Midtown Dentistry office in Houston.  In addition to snoring therapy, their dental services include implant dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, veneers, bridges, dentures, whitening, restorations, and sedation dentistry.

I was reading on the Yahoo news that last week a pilot in England that was flying his private plane (he was alone in the plane) suffered a stroke while flying and was blinded from the stroke.  Thankfully he was not otherwise incapacitated (although you would think being blinded while flying a plane solo would be a tragedy in itself!)  He radioed for help and he was guided to a safe landing by a military pilot who was in the area and heard his distress call and flew close to the airplane and talked him safely down to a safe landing at an airport!

What a totally amazing story that is!  The man is recovering from his stroke, and there was no damage to the plane.
