Amount of Sleep Regulated by Genes

Oh so is this why I can't function properly without 8 hours of sleep?

From NPR...

"A new study suggests that the amount of sleep you need may be written in your genes.

A team of researchers has found a genetic mutation that appears to allow some people to get by on less sleep than others. The team found the unusual mutation in a mother and daughter pair who appear to sleep less.

Sleep is essential to life, and not getting enough can cause problems. Studies show that sleep-deprived individuals have trouble performing everyday tasks, such as driving a car.

"Normal people need eight to eight-and-a-half hours of sleep," says Ying-Hui Fu, a neurologist at the University of California at San Francisco who led the study. By contrast, the two people with the mutation seemed to need just five or six hour's rest each night. The work appears in Thursday's issue of the journal Science."

Polaroid is back!

"Polaroid film will be back in to production in 2010 with the help of Urban Outfitters and The Impossible Project. When Polaroid stopped manufacturing instant film in 2008, The Impossible Project bought all the equipment and machinery. This year, Urban Outfitters will release 700 limited edition sets of Polaroid cameras and one pack of polaroid film. Next year, they’ll be selling film packs too.

In conjunction with the release of the special edition Polaroid film and camera kits, Gallery Space at Space 15 Twenty in Los Angeles is hosting a month-long group show of Polaroid photography."

40 years after summer love

Such an iconic image. An image that represents the peace and love of a generation. I just read this article about a couple who, after having their photo taken at Woodstock, got married, are now 60, and still together. The couple didn’t even realize their picture had been taken until coming across it at a friend’s house on the record jacket of the ‘Woodstock’ album.

About Woodstock:

From August 15 - 18, 1969 Max Yasgur′s dairy farm in rural New York became the center of the counter culture movement of the 1960s. Somewhere between 400,000 and 500,000 people migrated from across the continent to watch the top folk and rock ‘n' roll acts of the day (including the late Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin), and experience what has been described as the greatest concert of all time.

The early planning of the festival was chaotic, with protests and other hurdles forcing the organizers to relocate to Bethel, NY from the original Woodstock location. The whole project nearly ground to a halt on several occasions, but with some tenacity and blind luck the event actually happened. The concert was originally designed as a for profit venture, with over 180,000 advance tickets selling. But as the festival began concert organizers quickly realized they were about to be overrun by patrons and famously opened the gates declaring Woodstock to be a free concert which caused even more patrons to rush to the site in an effort to witness some of the greatest performers of their generation play the greatest show on Earth.

Live, Love, Surf

This beautifully shot ROXY fall promo video makes me so sad summer is coming closer to an end. Care free summer days in California are the best.

The Roxy girls went down to Venice Beach and spent the day riding in cars, hanging out on at the beach, and enjoying the sunshine and beautiful weather. All of the surf or surf lifestyle scenes were shot at different locations all around the California coast.

Beluga Whale to the Rescue

Free Willy was so the 90s... the latest ocean hero is Mila, a Beluga whale from north-east China. Mila carried a drowning diver to the surface of an arctic pool after her legs were paralyzed by crippling cramps.

Yang Yun told the Sun: “I began to choke and sank even lower and I thought that was it for me – I was dead. Until I felt this incredible force under me driving me to the surface.”

After noticing Yun’s distress, Mila carried her to the surface using her sensitive nose. What a sweet whale. Read the full article here.

Save the Date

Designed by the bride, Marilyn Chien..

"The story of our Save the Dates is quite simple. I love baking (especially cupcakes) and my fiance is a pastry chef at Nobu. We’re definitely foodie people and what better way of personalizing that than designing a fun std that represents us. After designing countless ideas, my fiance, Moony, casually mentioned a “nutritional facts” idea but with our wedding info instead and our idea was born. Cupcakes + Bride & Groom + Wedding Facts! Perfect. What a way to start off as a team, no?"

Such a cute idea and their wedding website is even cuter... MarilynandMoony
A great way to keep friends and family informed on not only the crucial wedding details but the decor and style thoughts along the way.

Lemonade

"More than 70,000 advertising professionals have lost their jobs in this Great Recession. Lemonade is about what happens when people who were once paid to be creative in advertising are forced to be creative with their own lives."

Believe me I'm all for "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." I'm into the inspirational feel of this documentary and fully intend on seeing it.... I just hope that the film acknowledges that suddenly having the time to do explore your passions in life requires money and financial stability ......at least until your life passions translate into a living.
