The downturn in the economy has given cause for consumers to consider eliminating many luxury items or pampering spa/salon treatments from their budget. But your skin is a living organism, ever changing, and deserving of the best treatments and quality products. During stressful economic times, a home spa treatment can refresh, rejuvenate, and relax a body from head to toe any day of the week. Home spa treatments have increased in popularity because of their convenience and affordability.
Dead Sea Spa Care (http://deadseaspacare.com) is a Texas-based company keeping tough times in mind with affordable, luxury home spa products that save clients hundreds of dollars, and save time as well. Treating skin, hair and nails with products that cleanse, hydrate, and polish is not only necessary but rewarding. Even on a tight budget, anyone can take great care of their body and mind with relaxing spa treatments, in the privacy of their own home, day or night. It’s a small luxury with big rewards for your body, but more importantly, your spirit! Dead Sea Spa Care products provide relief of the symptoms of stress by increasing circulation and detoxifying the body to free cells from toxins. The Dead Sea minerals found in their products detoxify the skin, which helps restore the natural balance of the skin while improving natural skin regeneration. Pampering home spa treatments enable your mind to relax, so your body can rest, especially during the high-stress times we are living in.
Beautiful skin doesn’t have to be just wishful thinking in the dry, hot, summer heat. The DSSC staff has worked very hard over the years to develop the highest quality products, resulting in high customer loyalty and brand recognition. Dead Sea Spa Care offers a variety of products for the entire body.

Some of the most popular home spa treatments:
* Patented, Professional Nail buffer leaves nails looking manicured in just seconds
* Dry Dead Sea Salt Scrub gently exfoliates dead skin cells, while leaving skin moisturized
* Dead Sea Mineral Mud relieves ailments such as arthritis, muscle stiffness and dry skin
The Dead Sea Spa Care philosophy is to offer the highest quality products available for nourishing and protecting skin that can be found within the essential minerals found in the lowest place on Earth, the Dead Sea. Why have people been drawn to the minerals of this region for hundreds of years? Minerals are essential for the metabolism of the skin. With age, the level of minerals in the body is depleted. Researchers have found that the body no longer produces minerals on its own, and must draw from an external source of supply. Minerals provide protection and strengthen cell membranes against dehydration and environmental hazards.
The Dead Sea ~ The Dead Sea is 1,200 feet below sea level. Over millions of years, the hot dry air and high evaporation rate have contributed to the high salt concentration present in the Dead Sea, making it one of the saltiest lakes in the world, and one of the world’s natural wonders. Dead Sea water contains 32% salts with relatively high concentration of 21 minerals such as magnesium, calcium, bromide and potassium. Twelve of these minerals are found in no other sea or ocean. Nature’s own unique wisdom has taught us to recognize the benefits of these minerals in the daily care of our skin, and it is for this reason that these minerals are found in the Dead Sea Spa Care product line. Each product is carefully designed to assist the skin’s natural ability to renew itself.

What Is Restless Legs Syndrome?
Restless legs syndrome is a movement disorder that causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs. These sensations typically are worse during periods of rest, especially just before sleeping at night, but they may happen during daytime periods of inactivity, such as watching a movie, attending a long business meeting, or flying in a plane.
The discomfort of restless legs syndrome usually is accompanied by an overwhelming urge to move the legs, which may relieve leg discomfort temporarily. At night, people with restless legs syndrome often find that their leg symptoms make it difficult to fall asleep. Because of this, insomnia is common, together with extreme drowsiness and fatigue during the daytime.
Restless Legs Syndrome Symptoms :-
Restless legs syndrome causes a wide range of uncomfortable leg sensations, which may be described as any of the following: tingling, prickly, boring, crawling, pulling, drawing and, sometimes, pain.
Although the muscles of the lower legs are affected most often, restless legs syndrome occasionally can cause symptoms in the arms as well. The discomfort of restless legs syndrome is almost always accompanied by an irresistible need to move the legs. Leg movement, such as walking, stretching and deep knee bends, seems to bring temporary relief. A leg massage or a warm bath also may help.
In addition to leg discomfort, restless legs syndrome also can cause periodic jerking leg movements during sleep. These involuntary leg movements often disturb both the patient and the patient’s bed partner. Also, because symptoms of restless legs syndrome tend to be worse at bedtime, people with restless legs syndrome may find it hard to fall asleep and to stay asleep. This can cause insomnia and severe daytime drowsiness that may interfere significantly with work, school and social life.
Restless Legs Syndrome Prevention :-
Although there is no way to prevent restless legs syndrome, it may help to avoid caffeine, alcohol and cigarette smoking.
Restless Legs Syndrome Treatment :-
Treatment of restless legs syndrome depends on the severity of your symptoms. If your symptoms are mild, simply exercising, stretching or massaging your legs, or taking a hot bath may bring relief. Lifestyle changes also may help, especially following a balanced diet and avoiding caffeine, alcohol and cigarette smoking. If your restless legs syndrome is linked to iron deficiency anemia, your doctor may prescribe iron.
When medication is used to treat restless legs syndrome, the following drugs are used individually or in combination:
Restless Legs Syndrome Medication :-
Dopaminergic agents :- These drugs usually relieve the discomfort of restless legs syndrome symptoms and improve sleep quality. They include carbidopa/levodopa (Sinemet), pramipexole (Mix) and ropinirole (Requip).
Benzodiazepines :- These drugs are sedatives that improve sleep quality. They include clonazepam (Klonopin), temazepam (Restoril), triazolam (Halcion) and diazepam (Valium).
Opioids :- These are narcotics, such as codeine (several brand names), propoxyphene (Darvon) or oxycodone (OxyContin and others), that relieve pain and suppress restless legs syndrome in people with severe, unrelenting symptoms.
Anticonvulsants :- These medicines are especially useful in patients whose symptoms are painful. They include gabapentin (Neurontin), carbamazepine (Tegretol and others) and valproic acid (Depacon, Depakene, Depakote).
Others :- Tramadol (Ultram), clonidine (Catapres), amantadine (Symadine, Symmetrel) and propranolol (Inderal) also may be useful to treat this condition. Tramadol is a non-opiod pain reliever that sometimes is recommended.
Many people with restless legs syndrome also have periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD), a common movement disorder that causes involuntary, periodic, jerking leg movements during sleep. The movements occur 1 to 10 times per minute.

We’ve got two Yahoo! related news items today.
The first is that we’ve launched a Yahoo! 360 importer (listed in your admin screens under Tools → Import) to make migration from 360 to WordPress.com super easy. Just upload the Yahoo! 360 export ZIP file, and we’ll do the rest. Yahoo! will be shutting down their 360 service soon, so if you have any friends over there feel free to give them a little help and encouragement to head over to WordPress.com
Second is the release of our WordPress.com QuickPress Yahoo! Application. You can post posts and read and moderate your most recent comments straight from My Yahoo!. (Note to any self-hosted WordPress.org folks out there: the app currently only works on WordPress.com. We’re working on making it .com/.org universal.)
Thanks to Yahoo! for their help with their Yahoo! Application Platform, and thanks to all of you for the best blogs on the intertubes.
If you need help with either of these new toys (or anything else), please contact our support team.

The tasty new logo
We’ve been busy lately here at WordPress.com — we’ve had an announcement of a new or updated feature for you every day this week. Today, you’re getting a two-fer!
Earlier this week, we announced VideoPress, the great new video feature for WordPress.com. Now VideoPress has its own home on the web at VideoPress.com. We’ve also got a great video introduction created by our company auteur Michael Pick, so be sure to head over and check it out. We’ll be continuing to add features to VideoPress, including support for WordPress.org users, so stay tuned to VideoPress for all the latest.
P.S. If you’re a design geek like me, you might be interested to know that the VideoPress logo (as well as all of VideoPress.com) is set in the beautiful Museo family of typefaces, designed by your fellow WordPress.com bloggers at the exljbris Font Foundry (exljbris.wordpress.com).

Since opening up the comment reply via email feature to everyone last month we’ve been continuing to improve it. Here are some of changes that have gone in during the last few weeks:
- Better detection of email auto responders / vacation messages
- Added a reminder to the bottom of comment notification emails about the reply via email feature
- Vastly improved support for non-English character sets
- Fixed a problem that some iPhone users were seeing
- Improved email address parsing for Blackberry users
- Fixed cases where signature blocks weren’t being properly removed
- Better paragraph formatting when parsing comments
And many little tweaks to deal with the oddities of various email clients. You’d be amazed how many email clients have their own little quirky ways of doing things.
For users who don’t include quoted reply text in your emails I do want to point out that you’ll need to end your email comment reply with !END on a line by itself. We’ll detect this in place of quoted reply text and use everything above the !END line as the new comment. This is mentioned on the comment reply via email support page but I wanted to bring specific attention to this to avoid any confusion.
We want to make comment reply via email 100% for every user, so if you have any problems with it at all please contact support. Or, if you just want to hi, that’s okay too

You guys are generating an amazing amount of feedback on your blogs. Matt mentioned in the April Wrap-Up that there were 8.6 million comments! Comments are flying in every second of the day.
And have you ever had one of those blog posts that was good, but the real action was in the comments? The blog post is only half the story, it’s the feedback from everyone else that fills in the rest. To make it easier to find the second half of these stories we’ve added comment search to WordPress.com search.
Select the comments options from the WordPress.com search page and we’ll hunt through the millions of comments that have been added to WordPress.com blogs to find what you are looking for. To reduce the comment inferiority complex you get many of the same features and options as post search: sorting by relevance (the default) or most recent, limit results by blog (like site:gigamom.com) and an easy way to subscribe to new matches via an RSS feed ( the Follow this search via RSS link at the bottom of the sidebar).
Comment search, because it was about time comments got a bit more respect.
