"Aluratek's USB internet radio jukebox bundles more radio than anyone could ever
listen to into a tiny module that fits on your keychain. Plug it into any
internet-onnected computer running Windows 2000, XP or Vista, and the software sitting in
the stick does most of the work. Just select from more than 150 countries--from
Afghanistan to Zimbabwe--and start sifting thru the radio streams. You can also search
thru stations by genre. However, the jukebox isn't just for music: sports, news, radio
dramas and talk radio stations are also included. If so many options are overwhelming,
start by checking out the top 10 radio stations in each country or by stlye, and a spiffy
book-marking feature lets you save favorites. The software and settings are
self-contained and perfectly portable."

Re: Melatonin - doesn't even slow me down. I'm a hardened insomniac. On the upside, my Drs prescribed sleeping pills and muscle relaxers for my back, so that's been helping a lot. You're so right about all the effects of stress, though. Ironically, I'm always worried about my blood pressure but it's always perfect - I chalk that up to learning yoga when I was little, but I still need to ditch it to help the insomnia, weight, etc.... Just in the last year or two I've been learning that stress isn't a healthy indicator of a responsible adult. :/
Those prescriptions may be related to your weight gain. Don't even try to lose weight until you can do without them. Surely, the Yoga can help with your back? The ideal is to avoid prescriptions wherever possible. Prescriptions tend to be addictive, for one thing, and they don't usually "cure" anything, they just relieve symptoms...they don't treat the cause of the problem. Chiropractors cost money, but they can straighten out your back, if that's the problem, no drugs required. They just can't straighten you out in one visit, unfortunately. It'll take about twice a week visits for at least a month, maybe longer. Depends on how bad the problem is. S/He may also give you special exercises to do at home. I assume you already know all of this, so I'll stop now.
