I guess no one saw the entire eposide on hydrogen p ellet use and function.
In that eppisode there was a man driving a hydrogen pellet powered car, in the dash he had a small pellet stove where he would reach in the back seat of the car "filled with pellets" and scoop some in whenever the car would loose momentum. - Overall its an interactive experience.
We should be seeing larger stoves and shovels in the near future to accomodate the sports and power utility class vehicles. - I think this is all great, but what really worries me is when the entusiasts start messing with the stove and shovels sizes, overfeeding a hydrogen pellet stove could cause some undesirable effects.
Why is it, every time the issue of psychological gaming violence on our youths is raised the majority of the responses are finger pointing? Don't you realize that when you attempt to shift the focus of a problem all you really do is establish an evasive response? Which only shows the lack of a sound argument.
The possibilities of violent behavior directly linked to the impact video games are having on our growing youth is a serious issue to all who are in a position to care. Whether we like it or not, subjecting young developing minds to a barrage of emotional and visual patterns of violence over time does promote the development of neighboring psychological dependencies. Taking the fact that most adolescents lack the necessary experience and development to make sound decisions for themselves, this leaves the responsibility of our governing adults to intervene and do whats best to protect the younger generations.
I sincerely doubt that scaling back video game violence will harm anyone. There seems to be infinite headroom in the video game industry to maintain an interactive entertaining game-play without riding on the message that shooting peoples heads off is entertainment.
I know we are not suppose to make jokes about this topic but since I am ADHD sufferer myself I just can't help but say that I feel that ADHD with a hot cup of black coffee and a good mouse works wonders for my CS ratio;)
In response to whoever posted a statement that the common prescriptions taken to help eleviate the effects of ADHD "are not drugs" are simply false...
Any synthetic chemical or coumpound ingested and distributed via liver to alter our chemistry, body and brain, would be the result of a narcotic reaction, or... "a drug".
The human body, in cases of long term prescriptions takes its toll also, liver, cardiovascular and other health difficulties will arise over time.
I agree with you on the obvious decline in the lack of discipline in our family homes, increased pressures from our "judicial and education programs" encourage parents to avoid all physical contact towards there children because of the obvious recorded abuse cases over the years.
It would seem this problem is the result of a trade off, the one side has children released into society by means of kicks and punches which according to the criminal justice system has played a major role in early criminal behavior.
On the other side in an effort to curb domestic violence, most parents have chosen to avoid all if any physically intervention with our children entirely...
Although this would seem simpler, it would seem that our children lack structure and self-discipline. However the case is not as large as we may think, 50 years ago, when our fathers stern hand was still in style, children equally showed expressed a lack of respect for others, including school teachers! there are numerous counts of our parents telling their own equivalent stories in comparison to our modern school era...
One exception to this comparison would be the items made available to the youths today, guns are all the rage now and they don't seem afraid to use them... although I am not entirely sure this behavior is directly linked to the lack of a firm hand in the home... perhaps it is somewhat tied to the excellent shooting training facilities we made so widely available to our youths today.:)
Since I have a young boy "3.5 years old" and he does act out with overflowing energy, I could not help but notice that children show all the signs of being the victims of an overflowing amount of outgoingness which if not properly managed by the parents would produce a sensory overload translating to acting out. (bad things)
I say this because when I ask him why he did go out of the yard for the 100'th time with his bicycle he would in all honestly say he simply doesnâ(TM)t know why he did it but he sure is sorry afterwards when he loses his privileges.
All in all, I am not entirely convinced spankings alone can control the amount of concentration and respect our children will express in class or on when hanging out with there friends, but then again the thought of stuffing pills down there throats is far from a solution for the lack of parenting care given to a well structured disciplined family environment.
I think we should always keep these wise words in mind when considering dicipline for our children: Remember to diciplin your children, not because your angry but because you love and need to protect them.
If we can keep this in mind when we issue out the consequences for there behaviour it makes it very easy to define the appropriate measures for the task at hand.
Have you tried it?
please keep us posted on your progress, I am lucky enough to of found a balance through diet and supliments however some of my children are exhibiting signs of early ADHD and I would like to keep my options open if they are natural alternatives.
Thanks in advance for your help.

ADHD is a very real condition that many people suffer from all over the world. Although it appears at different levels across the board, in many documented cases sufferers go on miss-diagnosed as having personality disorders and similar psychological ailments throughout their adult life.
The condition severity can vary from ones inability to staying on task (appearing uninterested) to severe comprehension challenges faced in the assimilation of day-to-day information (reading etc.)
Since I am a sufferer of ADHD myself I can testify that the lack of interest or of ambition to accomplish things is not contributing factor in the problems we face in our day-to-day life.
I have tried several drugs including the newest Ritalin (time release version) but no drug provided me with the a feeling of a natural well being (feeling like myself), although productivity did improve the effects of Ritalin and other chemical inducing drugs seemed to defy the purpose of the medications purpose.
Instead, I have opted for a very low sugar/carbohydrate diet and a regular intake of omega3 foods, olives and Harp Seal Oil. (And ALOT of water) I cannot stress that enough... I seem to have found a balance between my personal well being and my own abilities to use my energy to get things done.
Also... I have found that the advent of ADHD can work in your favor in some work environments... if you can position yourself in a fast paced environment that allows you to make use of it then you can actually use own natural energy to contribute to your work environment.
I also accepted that due to my condition, some types of job outlines are just not suitable work environments, for example I would not work sitting down at a desk for very long periods of time... Although the use of a multi-tasking computer does in fact allow an ADHD sufferer to accelerate the pace of his work cycle to a comfortable level you might want to work behind a closed door since most supervisors would never not believe you are actually doing anything productive.
The fact that our society has adopted pills to anyone who does not fit our population standards totally blows me away. In fact I think it down right stinks that our schooling system has no room for energetic students when the percentages are so elevated.
Well this reply is a little more of a rant than information deliver, nonetheless I was compelled to answer to this thread since I can sympathize with the article writer and sincerely hope he will find a comfortable solution to his challenges.
To end this note I would like to say that we should not give in to medication so easily, we have a multitude of nutritional options that can be very effective in curving serotonin our bodies levels not to mention the high rate of miss-diagnosed ADHD cases which are actually the result of other physical problems such as:
Candidas sufferers, Lactose intolerance, glycemia (hyper/hypo) conditions and a multitude of other intolerances and deficiencies...
When it comes to our personal abilities to perform in life, no stone should be left unturned.
Good luck,
