Just Noticing: “Observations Of A Blogger”
Posted by Michelle Moquin on June 2nd, 2013
Good morning!
San Diego UFO Photographed Over Historical Edgemoor Barn
What exactly did Ellen Henry photograph in the sky above Santee, Calif., on May 7?
“It was clear and certainly not a bug,” Henry told local ABC TV affiliate News 10.
Henry is a member of the Santee Historical Society (SHS) located in San Diego County and, according to the SanteePatch, was taking pictures of a historical building, the Edgemoor Barn.
“I was at the Edgemoor property, in the middle of the day, to take pics of the barn to update the SHS barn logo. I was constantly looking up and around the area, including the sky’s background, so I can get it just right, and not at anytime did I see anything in the sky or heard a sound of an aircraft,” she said.
It wasn’t until after she took the picture that Henry realized her camera had captured something else that she hadn’t previously seen.
“I noticed a ‘speck’ on my LCD screen after I took the shot to check for clarity, and only realized it wasn’t a speck when I downloaded it on my computer.”
The Edgemoor Barn — now a museum — just celebrated its 100th birthday. It was once part of a hospital facility and has developed a reputation for paranormal activity, including alleged ghost sightings.
“The barn sits under several flight paths,” said Janet Kwak in her on-air 10News report. “We called Gillespie Field and MCAS Miramar (Marine Corps Air Station), but neither could offer an explanation.”
“There is no way this was a commercial aircraft,” Henry said. “I would have heard it, especially as low as it seemed to be. Someone did mention perhaps it was a drone. However, I have not seen any drones that were round or oval, and lacking wings, rudders or propellers — even the drone that looks like a fly has wings.”
Another unusual thing happened: Henry reports that right after she snapped the UFO, her camera mysteriously stopped working.

Zen Lill sent in several absolutely gorgeous pics. But being the business woman that I am. I will not use all my blog enticements at once. I have chosen 6 for now. The captions I added because I felt they help them mesh with today’s article. Enjoy!
Is ZL checking out that UFO they saw in San Diego or is she just signaling the GirlZ?
What are you looking at ZL? Was there a landing we don’t know about?
What ever it was this girl is excited about it. Hello Viv? Yes, ZL, that would be the way I’d greet my favorite alien.
That was fun boys. But a girl can’t be naked all the time. And a sun hat is for keeping the sun from baking a girl, isn’t it.
I do hope you like my fashion choice. I think the hat, shoes and dress makes for an excellent outing ensemble.
Well, all good things must come to an end. I do hope you like mine.
Readers: I know you’ve got plenty to say. Blog me. I HOPE everyone is enjoying their weekend!
Mike,TM: Thanks for posting the update.
Sandra: Although this is not a funny situation, your comment made me chuckle.
Peace & Love.

Why Deep Breathing Really Does Help with Hot Flashes (Despite What That Study Said)
For a woman, tearing off her own clothes may seem like perfectly understandable behavior when she’s in the grip of a menopausal hot flash.
But every woman I know would prefer a more practical approach to cooling the internal inferno.
That’s why it was such a bummer when a recent study reported that a commonly recommended deep-breathing technique failed to relieve hot flashes.
But:
What if the women in the study were not doing the right kind of breathing?
If you get hot flashes (or if you’re a man and your lady gets them), here’s what I want you to know—to really reduce them, you have to do more than simply breathe slowly and deeply.
You have to practice yogic breathing, or pranayama. Don’t worry about the strange name—it isn’t hard to do, and it really does help, I heard from Andrew L. Rubman, ND, medical director of the Southbury Clinic for Traditional Medicines in Southbury, Connecticut.
Here’s what went wrong with the hot flash study I mentioned above, according to Dr. Rubman…and the simple breathing technique that women should try instead.
HOT FLASH STUDY UNDER FIRE
In the recent study, Indiana University School of Nursing researchers assigned one group of menopausal women to practice paced respiration, taking six to eight deep breaths per minute for 15 minutes daily, as is recommended for hot flash relief by the North American Menopause Society.
Control groups practiced either a sham breathing technique involving fast, shallow breathing…or just breathed normally (typically about 14 breaths per minute).
Disappointingly, after 16 weeks, the paced-respiration group experienced no significant benefit—their hot flashes were no less frequent and no less intense than those in the other groups. Mainstream media outlets were quick to report that deep breathing was a bust.
But Dr. Rubman e-mailed me as soon as he read the study because he wanted to set the record straight for Daily Health News readers. “I questioned the research because I have been teaching yogic breathing to menopausal women for decades, and my patients have had great results from it,” he said.
The secret to pranayama success: The exhalation should take twice as long as the inhalation.
Why does this work? According to Dr. Rubman, it has to do with your blood. When the pH level of blood becomes very slightly more acidic, the autonomic nervous system reacts, increasing the likelihood of hot flashes.
Yogic breathing helps to neutralize this slight pH imbalance by allowing better oxygenation of the blood and normalizing carbon dioxide saturation. “Restoring an optimal pH tends to calm and balance the autonomic nervous system, making hot flashes less intense and less frequent,” he said.
I would love to see a formal clinical trial explore the effectiveness of yogic breathing for easing menopausal hot flashes…but until such research is done, there’s no harm in giving the method a try to see if it helps you.
Unlike hormone therapy—which does ease menopausal symptoms but also increases the risk for heart disease, stroke, blood clots and breast cancer—yogic breathing has no risks and in fact has the known health benefit of triggering the relaxation response.
COOL WAY TO BREATHE
Here’s the technique Dr. Rubman recommends…
Sit in a comfortable position with your upper body centered over your hips.
Inhale slowly through your nose to a count of 10. Breathe deeply, but don’t strain or rush.
Fill your belly first, allowing it to relax and push out…then fill up the ribs and chest. At the end of the inhalation, roll back your shoulders.
Exhale slowly through the nose to a slow count of 20, reversing the order—first releasing the shoulders…then the chest and ribs…then the belly.
For maximum effect, practice this yogic breathing technique for 10 minutes per day. Also do it as soon as you feel a hot flash coming on, continuing until your discomfort abates.
And let us know if this technique helps you (or a woman in your life) by commenting below!

Thanks Michelle. Loved the comments. Did Zen Lill help with them? I will include them with my copies.
June 2nd, 2013 at 12:22 pm
Lovely Lady and worth the wait.
June 2nd, 2013 at 12:22 pm
Yes, and yes.

After seeing Zen Lill, Michelle, I want me a GirlZ.
June 2nd, 2013 at 12:27 pm
A Greek Goddess if there ever was one.
June 2nd, 2013 at 12:28 pm
Tastefully done Michelle, and beautifully modeled Zen Lill.

Thank you for making my June. It was very nice to wake up to a great beauty gracing the blog with her fashion for the season.
June 2nd, 2013 at 2:01 pm
Moving and powerful.

You are too pretty, much too pretty to be concerned about minorities. Most of your commentary on this blog says you have a mind that could be used for your race. If you would only find strength in the teaching of jesus Christ, you would make some white man an excellent wife and mother.

Just print the article. When I went to the link I discovered that it was an ad to get me to join twitter or face book. All the while teasing me with this supposed epiphany of a response about domestic violence.
Just print the damn response.

Sorry I didn’t meant to print the name Anonymous #12 in the name box I meant it to be the person who I was directing the post to.

Michelle does every woman participant here get equal opportunity to show their stuff if she emails you photos? Personally I’d like to see some snaps of that firebrand Alycedale. I often wonder what she looks like.
