Happy Independence Day

These are the fireworks I took last weekend during our camping at Campground in Garmish. This is my first time to witnessed the fireworks closer. Many people spent their Independence Day or 4th of July (including us) in Edelweiss. It was wonderful...Kids and adults were having fun, some kids blew their whistles while others were screaming and yelling (that's include me!) ever time the firewoks blast. The weather cooperated during the fireworks flared-up and people were happy and so do I that it stopped raining but after the fireworks finished, it started to rain hard. It was short but worth it to watched.

Hace a wonderful day to y'all.....

Simple snoring can lead to serious...

I was wondering why some people mostly men snores a lot and very loud! I was looking at Yahoo web sites and I found this article about snoring. I have been having problem with my partner every time he sleeps. I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one who's having these problem. They said that the reason a person snores is because he/she is tired ot worn-out but I've been observing my partner that being exhausted is not the reason. I don't believe that being tired makes them snores during their sleeps. I found the answer and I will enclosed it on my blog why, what causes and how to prevent or treated the snoring...also you can find out by looking at the illustration or photos.

What is snoring?
You snore when the flow of air from your mouth or nose to your lungs makes the tissues of your throat vibrate when you sleep. This can make a loud, raspy noise. Loud snoring can make it hard for you and your partner to get a good night’s sleep.
You may not know that you snore. Your bed partner may notice the snoring and that you sleep with your mouth open. If snoring keeps you or your bed partner from getting a good night’s sleep, one or both of you may feel tired during the day.
Snoring may point to other medical problems, such as obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can be a serious problem, because you stop breathing at times during sleep. So if you snore often, talk to your doctor about it.
Snoring is more common in men than in women.

What causes snoring?

When you sleep, the muscles in the back of the roof of your mouth (soft palate), tongue, and throat relax. If they relax too much, they narrow or block your airway. As you breathe, your soft palate and uvula vibrate and knock against the back of your throat. This causes the sounds you hear during snoring.
The tonsils and adenoids may also vibrate. The narrower the airway is, the more the tissue vibrates, and the louder the snoring is.
See pictures of the tonsils, adenoids, and uvula and the soft palate.

How is it treated?

You may be able to treat snoring by making changes in your activities and in the way you sleep. For example:
Lose weight if you are overweight.
Quit smoking.
Sleep on your side and not your back.
Limit your use of alcohol and medicines such as sedatives before you go to bed.
If a stuffy nose makes your snoring worse, use nose strips, decongestants, or nasal steroid sprays to help you breathe.
When you sleep, use a device in your mouth that helps you breathe easier. This device pushes your tongue and jaw forward to improve airflow.
If these treatments do not work, you may be able to use a machine that helps you breathe while you sleep. This treatment is called continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP (say "SEE-pap"). In rare cases, your doctor may suggest surgery to open your airway.
Snoring is not always considered a medical problem, so find out if your insurance covers the cost of treatment.

Hopefully this will help for those who snores because it does help me!

Memorial Day

The American Battle Monuments Commission Luxembourg American Cemetery

The American Battle Monuments Commission(ABMC), established by law in 1923, is an independent agaency of the Executive Branch of the US Government. The Commission is responsible for commemorating the services and achievements of United States Armed Forces where they have served since April 6,1917 (the date of US entry into World War I) through the erection of suitable memorial shrines; for designing, constructing, operating and maintaining permanent US military cemeteries and memorials in foreign countries by other US citizens and organizations, both public and private; and encouraging the maintenance of such monuments and markers by their sponsors.
This cemetery, 50.5 acres un extent, is situated in a glade enframed by spruce, beech, oak, and other trees. It is one of fourteen permanent World Was II cemeteries erected on foreign soil. The site was liberates by the U.S. 5th Armored Division on 10 September 1944 and a temporary military burial ground was established here on 29 December 1944. Free use as a permanent burial ground was granted by the Grand Ducal government in perpetuity without charge or taxation. Later, the Grand Ducal government developed a parking area for the cemetery.

The graves area contains the remains of 5,076 American military Dead, including a woman Army Nurse, who lost their lives in the service of their country. These honored Dead came from the 50 states and the District of Columbia. In 22 instances, two brothers rest side-by-side in adjacent graves. One hundred and one headstones mark the graves of "Unknowns" whose remains could not be positively identified. White marble shafts surmounted by a Star of David mark the graves of 118 of the Jewish faith, white marble crosses mark the others.

The headstones are set in nine plots of fine grass. Separating the plots are two malls radiating from the memorial and two transverse paths. Two flagpoles overlook the graves area in front of the memorial. Between the flagpoles is the grave of General George S. Patton, Jr.

Each radial mall contains two fountains consisting of a pylon of Valore stone overlooking three jet pools on descending levels. High on the obverse side of the pylon is a bronze sea shell from which water flows into the pools. Bronze dolphins and turtles decorate the pools symbolizing, respectively, Resurrection and Everlasting Life.

The Pylons inscribed on the outer faces of the two rectangular pylons on the terrace are the name, rank, organization and state of entry into the militayr service of 371 Missing in Action of the United States Army and Army Air Forces. These men, whose remains were either never recovered or positively identified, came from 42 states and the District of Columbia. An asterisk sets out those sussequently identified. Above the names on each pylon is the inscription: HERE ARE RECORDED THE NAMES OF AMERICANS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY AND WHO SLEEP IN UNKNOWN GRAVES.

A large operations map, carved and fitted together from slabs of several types of granite, is set into the inner face of each pylon. The west pylon contains a map of military operations in western Europe from the landings in Normandy to the end of the war. The east pylon contains a map of the Ardennes and Rhineland campaigns to include the "Battle of the Bulge," subsequently fighting to clear the west bank of the Rhine, and the crossing of the Rhine River at Oppenheim. Flanking the maps are explanatory inscriptions in English and French.

Hello there everyone…. How’s your weekend? Mine was superb!!! This weekend was my birthday, I added another year yet I don’t mind having another year as long as I’m happy and healthy. I never felt this happy before.

I spent my weekend with my husband and daughter by going in Wiesbaden first to see a relative and I didn’t expected to have a gift from her? We also went to the oriental store to get something we need for the house and then after that we went back to our place or area. We went to the post (Ramstein Air Base) to meet somebody after I met them we went to CORA (a huge store between Germany and France border) to buy fresh salmons, oysters, mussels and cheap meat. After we finished shopping at CORA, we went home to drop off the stuffs we bought and we rested for an hour before the concert starts.

At 6 pm, we went to the RAB to see the Sugarland concert. I told my husband that we have to leave early so that we can get nice and better seats. We thought that leaving an hour early was a good idea because few people will come since nobody or hardly I knew likes country music but we were mistaken. When we got there, a lot of people was waiting to get in. The line was long, where we standing at about 800 meters away from the main door. Some people were cutting line but we weren’t worried because the place where they doing the concert were huge place and enough space for the people went there. The place was packed but we got the seats with no problem. It wasn’t the front row (that I wanted???) but good seats to see the entertainers. Not only adults went there, also lots of kids. The concert hasn’t started yet but the kids were starting crying and screaming already. Ignore is the best thing to do and it doesn’t really bother me because I went there to see the concert not to listen crying babies… It was worth it to waited long, listened crying and screaming babies, and crowded place. Good thing that we ate before we went there because their water costs triple the regular price and they don’t have much food except only chips and of course there is always beer. Here’s some photos that I took during the concert…hope you like it!

P.S. Thank you for the greetings and gifts that I got from my family and friends. I truly appreciate that they remember my special ocassion "my birth" and also I thank GOD for giving me nice and wonderful LIFE.

Have a nice weekend everyone….
