	09/04/14 - NNHS Newsletter - It's Four in the Morning “I've got all the money I'll ever need, if I die by four o'clock.” - Henny Youngman (16 Mar 1906 - 24 Feb 1998)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

   Today's Newsletter theme is sadly suggestive of my new sleeping patterns.  I rather like the old (a.k.a. "normal") way better.....

"It's Four in the Morning" (also known as "Four in the Morning") is a song made famous by the country music singer, Faron Young. Originally released in 1971, the song became his first No. 1 hit single on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart since 1961's "Hello Walls."^[1] The song was written by Jerry Chesnut.^[1]

The song was the title track to his 1971 album and became one of his best-known hits. It was also a major smash in the UK, somewhat rare for a country song, peaking at No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart in July 1972.^[1]

Its pop-crossover impact at home was far more minor, barely scraping the bottom of the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 92. It sold over 500,000 copies in the UK, and 750,000 in North America by early 1973, earning Young a gold disc awarded by the RIAA.^[1]

"It's Four in the Morning" has also sealed a place in country music history. A live performance video clip of Young singing the song was the first music video to air on CMT when the cable television channel first launched on March 5, 1983 as CMTV.

From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 08/31/14 (but only just found!) - "Habits, Tips, Facts & An Inspiration":   Jokes After directory assistance gave me my boyfriend's new phone number, I dialed him -- and got a woman. "Is Mike there?" I asked confused. "Umm, he's in the shower," she responded. "Please tell him his girlfriend called," I said and hung up. When he didn't return the call, I dialed again. This time a man answered. "This is Mike," he said. "You're not my boyfriend!" I exclaimed. "I know," he replied. "That's what I've been trying to tell my wife for the past half-hour!"     An executive was interviewing a young woman for a position in his company. He wanted to find out something about her personality so he asked, "If you could have a conversation with someone, living or dead, who would it be?" The girl responded confidently, "The living one!" <>*<>****<>*<>****<>*<> The Birthday Gift The couple had been debating the purchase of a new auto for weeks. He wanted a new truck. She wanted a fast little sports-like car so she could zip through traffic around town. He would probably have settled for any beat up old truck, but everything she seemed to like was way out of their price range. "Look!" she said. "I want something that goes from 0 to 200 in 4 seconds or less. And my birthday is coming up. You could surprise me." For her birthday, he bought her a brand new bathroom scale. Services are pending! <>*<>****<>*<>****<>*<> *-- Q and A Quickies --* Q: Why does Snoop Dogg carry an umbrella? A: Fa drizzle. Q: How does the man in the moon get his hair cut? A: Eclipse it. <>*<>****<>*<>****<>*<> *-------------- Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes --------------* Two buffalo were standing on the range when a passing tourist said, "Those are the mangiest, scroungiest, most moth-eaten, miserable beasts I have ever seen." One of the buffalo turned to the other and said, "You know, I think I just heard a discouraging word." <>*<>****<>*<>****<>*<> What Your Nervous Habits Reveal About You... Biting Nails : You're hearty, friendly and likable and you pat people on the back for a job well done. You also like to work with your hands-baking bread or doing yard work satisfies you.

Knuckle-Cracking : You are very independent and you like exercise, contact sports and dancing.

The best part? All of the magic happens while you slumber, giving a whole new meaning to the term “beauty sleep.” Read on for a few of my favorite overnight beauty tips that will have you feeling like Sleeping Beauty come sunrise… 1.) Soften For a pampering overnight treatment, apply Vaseline to the soles of your feet and put on socks before you sleep. The socks help bind the moisture to your feet and you’ll wake up to soft, smooth soles. Now all you need is a pair of strappy heels to show them off… 2.) De-puff? If you constantly wake up with puffy, swollen eyes, try this simple switch: Add an extra pillow and sleep on your back. This will allow the fluids around your eyes to drain easier and keep the puffiness to a minimum. And of course, don’t forget your eye cream. Look for creams that list caffeine as one of the ingredients—it will help keep fluids moving. 3.) Create waves? To wake up with perfect waves, simply shower at night and style your hair before bed. Allow your strands to air dry until they’re damp, and run some light styling crème through with your fingers. Depending on your hair type and what kind of waves you prefer, you can either sleep in braids or twist your hair into buns. Don’t be afraid to experiment! Bed head has never looked so good. 4.) Moisturize? Ladies with dry skin, take note: A humidifier might just change your skin forever. Turn one on before you sleep (this works best during colder months when the air is drier) and let it work its magic. It instills the air with moisture, which in turn helps plump your skin and keep it hydrated. 5.) Prevent wrinkles Sleeping on a cotton pillowcase can cause creases on your skin and create wrinkles. Instead, pamper yourself by investing in a silk or satin one. It will lessen the pressure on your skin and help prevent hair breakage. 6.) Whiten teeth For an easy DIY whitening treatment, try brushing some baking soda to your pearly whites right before bed. Leave the mixture on for 5-6 minutes and make sure to rinse thoroughly afterwards. This is a perfect PM beauty treatment because in the waking hours, you would normally have to wait about 50 minutes before eating or drinking anything afterwards. Just make sure you are only doing this once a week; any more, and the acid in baking soda can wear down your tooth enamel. 7.) Brighten? It’s best to apply any face products that have brightening ingredients like retinol and vitamin C in them at night. Sunlight can actually deactivate them and prevent them from working to their fullest potential. 8.) Lengthen lashes Give your fluttery fringe some loving with a DIY lash lengthening treatment. The secret ingredient? Castor oil. This natural oil is rich in super-hydrating omega-6 fatty acids, which help moisturize your lashes and prevent breakage. Using a clean spoolie, gently brush the castor oil through your lashes each night. In the morning, just rinse with warm water and wash your face as usual. You should notice healthier lashes in just a few weeks! 9.) Repair? Smooth a leave-in conditioner into your locks before you snooze to wake up to shiny, soft strands. Applying it in the evening gives treatment more time to penetrate into your hair cuticles for optimum moisture. (For a great natural alternative, try coconut oil.) 10.) Smooth? Nail beds looking dry? Apply cuticle cream or oil before you sleep and slip on gloves afterwards. You’ll wake up to healthy, hydrated nail beds. Now you just have to decide on the perfect polish color. <>*<>****<>*<>****<>*<> RANDOM TIDBITS Dr. Rene Theophile Laenne invented the first stethoscope in 1816. He felt embarrassed if he had to listen to the heart beat of a young female patient by placing his ear directly on her chest, so he rolled up 24 sheets of paper to make a tube and placed one end on her chest and the other end in his ear. By 1855 a stethoscope similar to the one used during most of the 20th century became available. The blood pressure cuff was invented by an Austrian physician named Samuel Siegfried Karl Ritter von Basch and first saw use in doctor's surgeries in the 1880's. An improved version of the cuff was unveiled by Italian physician Scipione Riva-Rocci in 1896. Computed Tomography (CT) imaging is also known as "CAT scanning" (Computed Axial Tomography). CT was invented in 1972 by British engineer Godfrey Hounsfield of EMI Laboratories, England and by South Africa-born physicist Allan Cormack of Tufts University, Massachusetts. Hounsfield and Cormack were later awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their contributions to medicine and science. While studying the effects of passing an electrical current through gases at low pressure, German physicist Wilhelm Rontgen accidentally discovered X-rays. When Rontgen held a piece of lead in front of the electron-discharge tube, it blocked the rays, but he was shocked to see his own flesh glowing around his bones on the fluorescent screen behind his hand. In 1948 George de Mestral, a Swiss mountaineer, and his dog went for a hike in the woods. When they returned both were covered with burrs. Using a microscope he examined the burrs stuck to his pants and discovered that the burrs had small hooks that clung to small loops of fabric in his clothing. This lead him to the idea of making one material with small hooks and the other material with tiny loops. He called his invention Velcro, a combination of the words velour and crochet. English physician, Sir Thomas Allbutt (1836-1925) invented the first practical medical thermometer used for taking the temperature of a person in 1867. It was portable, 6 inches in length and able to record a patient's temperature in 5? min. <>*<>****<>*<>****<>*<> 20,000 Pounds On The Sea I took my oldest son, my two nephews and my neighbor's son on a cruise. They are 16 and 17 years old. When I boarded the ship, I went to one of the many dining areas to eat as we waited for the time when we could enter our rooms. That's when I saw the platters! At most buffet style restaurants, they give you a medium size plate. Some even give you a rather small plate. The principle is simply this, the bigger the plate, the more you will eat. "All You Can Eat" buffets prefer that you eat as little as possible. They are not concerned about your health; they want you to eat less because the less you eat; the more profit they make. Smaller plates equal less consumption, which equals more profit. The platters obviously weren't following that rule. Carnival Cruise Lines platters are HUGE. They were the size of two normal sized dinner plates. There was an unlimited supply of food available and huge platters to put the unlimited food on. While people lounged around, there was very little use of the ship's gymnasium. The dining areas were full while the gym had plenty of unused space. The average person on a cruise gains ten pounds. Yes, ten pounds. I gained ten pounds on the last cruise I went on. I was determined not to do that this time but those platters sure didn't help. The average cruise ship has 2,000 passengers. At ten pounds per passenger means that the average cruise ship puts 20,000 pounds or TEN TONS of weight on its passengers per cruise. A cruise ship is the ultimate in luxury, leisure and food. It is one of the greatest challenges to discipline. I would write more about this but I have a lot on my plate. ~A MountainWings Original~    Thank you, Shari!
