John, I am not sure the lights you have bought will give you the intensity in output to make a significant difference. The so called 100 watt equivalent CFL bulbs give you only about 1,600 lumens each. Just for comparison my 400 watt metal halide grow lamp puts out 32,000 lumens. Take a look at these bulbs, they are much brighter: http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-105-Fluorescent-Daylight-Photography/dp/B004L75BGQ/ref=sr_1_17?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1360072582&sr=1-17&keywords=daylight+cfl+bulb http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-105-Fluorescent-Daylight-Photography/dp/B004L75BGQ/ref=sr_1_5?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1360072904&sr=1-5&keywords=daylight+cfl+bulb+studio IMHO, multiple lamps are not ideal. It gives too many sources of glare to the eyes. I think a bounced even all around ambient bright illumination feels the best. I believe humans react to light more than just visually by eyes. That's why blind people can also have SAD problems. Also, a blue incandescent light does not give more blue light than a regular white incandescent light. You may also look into getting a dust/dawn light to wake you up in the morning, and to put you to sleep at night. Looking at the picture of your office, I have a few suggestions: 1. Have your monitors oriented away from the window. Your pupil react to bright window light and contracts, making it a strain to view the text on the monitors. So you compensate by turning the screens to their brightest, but that create another problem to the eyes when it gets dark outside. In addition, for visitors to your office, the displays on the screens can be a distraction. I don�t know in your line of work whether it is important to provide privacy to the materials displayed. For some businesses that is a legal requirement. Do you have glass wall/door to your office? I noticed that you hang your coat on the chair, and not on the coat hook behind the door. 2. I am sure you have tried to set up your monitors most comfortable to your own preference. To me, it seems the monitors should be about 3" lower. I think that would be more ergonomic. Also, if you stack the monitors there will be less neck issues. Most multi-monitor traders have there monitors stacked (see link below). Where you spend the most time, everything contributes to your general well being. Gina, "--A friend of ours had us look at a site where you can figure out the solar azimuth angle over your home - but it was, uh, geekily complicated, LOL.�" It can be complicated to figure out the angle of the sun based on the time of day, the day of the month, the month of the year and your geographic longitude and latitude. Solar panels are coming down in price quickly, in anticipation of using solar energy, I have designed and built an instrument known as Heliodon, which can give the angle of the sun based on many criteria in seconds without doing any figuring. It can also be very useful in building a house to optimize orientation, window locations, and placement of gardens. dcarch My Heliodon Here is a link that might be useful:

Just vitamins, no prescription meds. Well, take that back I'm still on an antibiotic for a tick bite, and have one week to go. Dr. wanted me to go on B/P meds for an elevated B/P but I refused. They need to teach their employees how to take a proper blood pressure The proper way to take a blood pressure as I understand the concept is: -Before the test, sit for five minutes with your back supported and your feet flat on the ground. -Rest your arm on a table at the level of your heart. Wear short sleeves so your arm is exposed. ... Get two readings, taken at least two minutes apart, and average the results. I told the Dr. that being in pain with a broken toe, and sitting on the exam table with my feet dangling and no back support could not possibly get an accurate reading! No thank you, no meds. I do monitor my B/P at home and sometimes it's a little high and other times okay. No way was I going on meds with huge side effects due to one or two readings done in their office and not done properly. She kept preaching to me how dangerous it is, and I informed her that I know all about that, being in the medical field for over 50 years and a RN for 30 years. I've always had my patients sit in a chair with feet on floor. Many would sit and cross their legs and be surprised when I would tell them not to cross their legs and put feet flat on floor. So how do they take your blood pressure when you go to the DR?

It seems that boron helps build strong bones, so I would take it without worry. Here is a link that might be useful: Boron supplement

How are you doing? I only needed to take extra calcium for 36 hours. Haven’t experienced any more tingling. I’m taking my thyroid med when I go to restroom between 3-5am and go back to bed (thanks for mentioning that, above). I feel fine but have absolutely no appetite. The last two days I have slept later, but I’m not tired during the day. Will be interesting to see where my numbers are when I go to the Dr next month. I went to my dermatologist yesterday for skin cancer screening, and she gave me a Serica brochure. She said it’s much much better than Mederma. The brochure had a $5 off coupon from Walgreens, and it was already $5 less than on Amazon. It’s only 1oz but a thin, clear gel so a little goes a long way.
