You're probably sitting down right now. Well, by the time you're done reading this, you may see sitting in a whole new way!.

"Chair time is an insidious hazard because people haven't been told it's a hazard," Marc Hamilton, Ph.D., a professor of biomedical sciences at the University of Missouri in Columbia, told Ivanhoe.

That's right -- the time you sit in your chair could be keeping your body's fat burning in park! More than 47 million adults in the United States have metabolic syndrome, which causes obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Biomedical researchers from the say the reason so many of us have the condition is because we sit too much!

"The existing data, by numerous studies, are starting to show that the rates of heart disease and diabetes and obesity are doubled or sometimes even tripled in people who sit a lot," Dr. Hamilton explains. One reason, he says, is an enzyme called lipase. When it's on, fat is absorbed into the muscles, but when we sit down, lipase virtually shuts off.

"Instead, the fat will recirculate in the blood stream and go and be stored as body fat or it can clog arteries and cause diseases," Dr. Hamilton says. And it's not a small amount of fat. Plasma samples were taken from the same person after eating the same meal. When they ate sitting down, the sample was cloudy, but when they ate while standing up, it was clear.

"If you can perform a behavior while sitting or standing, I would choose standing," Dr. Hamilton says. That's why he swapped his desk chair for a treadmill. Not ready for that step? "You can have just as much fun watching your kids play if you're standing by the fence, next to a friend who pulls out that aluminum lawn chair and is sitting there," Dr. Hamilton advises.

You can also limit chair time by taking frequent breaks at work to stand and walk around. Stand up while talking on the phone or even while watching TV.

Standing also helps shrink your waistline! The average person can burn an extra 60 calories an hour just by standing! "But just avoid the chair is the simple recommendation, as much as you can," Dr. Hamilton says. That's advice worth a standing ovation!

Another benefit to standing -- it improves your HDL or good cholesterol levels. People who sat reduced their good cholesterol levels by 22 percent!

Girls Are Not Smilling: Police Woman Caught Sleeping On Duty.

Those on the list

MEN of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), on Tuesday,

seized 13 container loads of arms and ammunition, at the Lagos Ports Complex. They were brought into the country allegedly to prosecute the 2011 general election.

Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Marvel Akpoyibo, heads of the State Security Service (SSS), Directorate of Military Intelligence, Naval Intelligence and other security chiefs were still at the port when Nigerian Tribune reporter left there at 7.46 p.m.

Impeccable sources told the Nigerian Tribune that the containers, which were off-loaded at the AP Moller Terminal, drew attention when the clearing agent reportedly pledged to pay any amount to have them transferred from the port to an off-dock terminal, preferring to have the containers screened outside the ports.

The containers, which the sources disclosed were shipped in from Iran, allegedly contained various sizes of grenades, rocket launchers, different types of bombs, assault rifles and heavy machine guns.

Nigerian Tribune further learnt that once the agent’s entreaties had failed, the report was communicated to relevant people, who decided to perform an on-the-spot evaluation, even as the importers reportedly went underground.

“We cannot quantify the contents yet. All we know for now is that they are concealed in tiles,” a source, pleading anonymity said, adding that nobody was going home from the port till today (Wednesday).

“When the Customs Public Relations Officer was contacted, he confirmed it, highlighting that the first container which was opened at about 6.00 p.m. was still being examined.

“As I am speaking right now with you, the first container is still being examined. We understand they are 13 in number. And the content of the first showed it had mortals, bullets and such related items,”Customs Public Relations Officer, Mr. Wale Adeniyi, said at 8.07 p.m.

Commenting on the development, spokesperson of the SSS, Marilyn Ogar, an Assistant Director, confirmed that the bill of lading accompanying the containers listed their contents as building materials.

According to her, of the 13 containers, 12 were still to be examined as operatives were busy searching the first container which carried 24 different crates containing what were suspected to be explosives, including grenades, rocket launchers and ammunition of different capacities.

Mrs Ogar, however, said that investigations were still ongoing to establish more issues about the imports, adding that the country of origin could not be disclosed at press time because of bilateral concerns.

Chorus (in bold):

There is a balm in Gilead

To make the wounded whole;

There is a balm in Gilead

To heal the sin-sick soul.

Some times I feel discouraged,

And think my work’s in vain,

But then the Holy Spirit

Revives my soul again.

(Chorus)

If you can’t preach like Peter,

If you can’t pray like Paul,

Just tell the love of Jesus,

And say He died for all..

(Chorus)

The drug case against T.I. that has sent him back to federal prison has been dropped by the L.A. County District Attorney...

The rap star was recently sentenced to 11 months in federal prison,after police stopped him for making an illegal U-turn on the SunsetStrip in Los Angeles on September 1st.

When police approached the car, they allegedly smelled marijuana. A search of the occupants of the car found the rapper and his wife,Tameka “Tiny” Cottle in possession of the drug ecstasy.

Police never booked any of the marijuana they allegedly smelled into evidence and LAPD officers allegedly pulled the rapper out of his$250,000 Maybach before they asked for any registration oridentification.

The D.A.’s office said that since the rapper was sentenced to federal prison for violating his probation, there was no need for thestate to pursue the charges.

A tatto freak known as the Human Chequerboard has taken his obsession to an agonising new level by having ink injected into the whites of his eyes.

Matt Gone, from Portland, Oregon, boasts that 98 per cent of his body is now covered in tattoos.

The bizarre chequerboard pattern covers his head and face. Now his eyes are permanently coloured - one blue, the other green.

Socket set: Matt Gone's right eye is gree and his left is blue

And he carried out the risky operation by himself at his home, according to the website Nine News.

Mr Gone told the US television station Fox12: 'I patch-tested it and was successful. I had to take the risk. I've done that a lot of times before.

'I'm not crazy. I'm trained. I have a lot of experience. I picked different colours because I like mutations because I have birth defects.'

Eye pad: He injected the ink while alone at home

Tattoo much: Matt Gone reckons 98 per cent of his body is covered in designs

Mr Gone said he began tattooing his body 20 years ago to disguise physical deformities, but did not give any further details.

Doctors have warned that injecting ink into the eyes could lead to blindness or serious infection.

Hello 9ija**.;)

What DO you want?

It's one of the most powerful questions I know.

And it's a tough one to answer.

Pretty much just as soon as you get old enough to think... you have people telling you what THEY want.

Parents, partners, spouses, children, friends, bosses, colleagues, customers and clients... they've all got opinions about what's best foryou.

And sometimes their requests and demands can feel like a swarm of mosquitoes buzzing around you demanding attention.

And if you're not clear on what you want, you have little protection against the blighters - what others want becomes very hard to resist.

So what can you do about it?

Here's an exercise to help get clear on what you want.

1. Find some time and space for yourself.
It doesn't need to be much - five minutes in a room, ten minutes in a coffee shop, a 15 minute walk around the neighborhood.

2. Connect with your core values, those ways of being that are at the heart of you being at your best.
If you're not quite sure what they are - and you'd be like most peopleif that's the case - then start to imagine what they might be now. Ifyou think back to "peak moments" in your life, times you felt you wereon top of the world, then you'll see some clues as to what they mightbe.

3. Get clear on the situation at hand.
You need context before you can decide on what you want. Is this aboutwork? A relationship? Your own self-care? Something else? What's thechallenge or situation or struggle you might be facing?

4. Imagine outrageous success.
Go on, amp it up. Or to put it another way: If you could not fail, whatwould total and fabulous success look like? Don't get caught up in the"how would I get there". Just let your imagination go on what outrageoussuccess looks like.

5. Clarify your minimum level of success.
This is the bottom line, the "if nothing else, then this at least."Don't sell yourself short. And equally, make sure the "bottom line"really is just that. This is where you draw the line in the sand.

6. Tap into your heart and find the sweet spot of what you want between those two end points.
Sit with it for just a moment and get as clear as possible as to what itis you want, what it looks like, feels like, tastes like. The cleareryou can make it, the easier it will be to start planning on how to getthere.

So... What do you want?
