Have you ever had a dream so intense you thought you were awake? Have you ever seen hallucinations while on the verge of sleep? Have you ever woke up, and find you cannot move and are paralyzed? If so, you have experienced hypnagogia, and it can be very upsetting. It is not uncommon for the average person to experience these events once or twice in their lifetimes. However, some people experience these events often, and it can impact one’s daily life. Many people have never heard of hypnagogia, and cannot understand how an hallicunation can be so frightening. I understand all to well, I have had hypnagogia for most of my life.

Windows Server 2008 is a fantastic Server OS, so much so many people use Windows Server 2008 in place of Windows Vista as their desktop OS. Often Microsoft allows free trials of their software for evaluation. Windows Server 2008 has an initial 60 day activation period where the user can use the operating system fully. After 60 days, Microsoft allows users to extend their license for another 60 days. This can be done three times, allowing for a total of 240 days of free use. This is a great deal, and allows users to see how the OS will run for long periods of time.

The Steve Wilkos Show is an interesting site to behold. It is one of those shows that is difficult to classify. The Steve Wilkos show is a talk show which focuses on the scum of society. Steve brings pimps, drug users, murders, and gang members to his show, then proceeds to rip them apart in front of his live audience. The people on his show deserve the harsh treatment, as they represent what is wrong with America. While this at times is exiting to watch, it is also a guilty pleasure, especially when Steve’s audience, we will call the mob, gets active.

It seems McDonald’s has decided to market to their target audience by creating a website specifically for African Americans. 365 Black is a website which shows the various programs designed around the African American Community. To be fair, it is not clear if all the programs mentioned on the site are for exclusively for African Americans. Along side of these programs is a sampling of their own ads for their products, so that’s not mistake this site for what it is: a marketing attempt as a specific population.
